That's What She Said

Are kids influenced by popular culture?

That's What She Said - Detention Note

There is no doubt.

I wonder if all of the adults in this case knew where the phrase “that’s what she said” recently came from. Anyone remember it here?

Part of what’s good about being a young teacher is that you’re privy to the undertones of what is actually being said. I would have burst out laughing and told the kid how much I love The Office. I think it is important for teachers to stay hip to the trends and to know what these kids are living (ie. facebook, texting, etc.) in order to relate better to our “clients”. However, there is a limit. I remember in my internship a student calling another student “gooch” as a nickname. Knowing what that actually meant, I had to put a stop to it!
