1. My CT's AP Calculus class is graded by proficiency. The last week of the grading period, she had several days where the students took multiple assessments in order to bring their grades up. She spent about 10 minutes passing out assessments to individual students. She had missed giving anything to one student in the back. (We'll call him Aaron.) Finally, she realized her omission and came up to him saying, "I forgot to give you anything!" Quickly, Aaron raised his hand, palm out, and said, "I am not the droid you are looking for."

2. We were in the computer lab yesterday, and as I approached a pair of students to see how far along they were, I heard the boy say to the girl, "What do girls call really good-looking guys?" Before she could answer, I replied, "Mr. Tucker." (shared by Scott, of course)

3. Yesterday day being Pi Day, I planned and executed a lesson extolling the virtues of pi. Today, a student in another class came up to me and said, "I know pi to four digits: 3.1415." I must have not looked impressed, for he asked me if I knew more. I recited "3.14159265358979. Is that enough?" He said, "No, I want to know the last digit of pi." (shared by Scott)

3a. I told my wife the above story, and she said, "Chuck Norris is the last digit of pi!" (by Scott)
