Teacher Invites His 1st Year Students To Tell Him A Joke, Then Rates Them In A Hilarious Twitter Thread

Just like so many of his colleagues, George Pointon, a year 1 teacher from the UK, doesn’t know if there’s such a thing as a “normal day” in school in the current climate. But, just like so many of his colleagues, he still tries to make the best out of each lesson. And succeeds.

During a recent English project, Pointon asked his class what makes them laugh. One child said “jokes” and things began escalating really fast, resulting in an impromptu assignment: the teacher asked his students to come up with a joke.

“Children by their nature are hilarious and giving them a platform to be funny felt like the perfect idea,” Pointon told Bored Panda. “They had no time to prepare. It was an impulsive experience. It was as simple as “Tell me a joke” and they all lept at the chance to do so.”

When everything was said and done, the teacher decided to evaluate his students on Twitter. And to be honest, I don’t know what’s funnier, the jokes or their reviews. Continue scrolling and check them out yourself.

George and his students have just got back to school and the teacher said it’s been both tough and exciting. “After spending months on online classes, it’s nice to finally have the band back together,” he explained.

As for the funny task, George obviously didn’t tell them about the idea to analyze it. “That came after. I absolutely adore all the children in my class but I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if…’ and began to write a narrative and look at each ‘character’ with a critical eye. After that, the comedy wrote itself.”

The teacher is really happy about how everything turned out. “I was absolutely gobsmacked by the reaction. I genuinely thought just my friends would see it. Obviously, you can never predict what goes viral, if we could we’d all be in marketing jobs.”
