This is the Principal’s Response
A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day she asked Johnny what his problem was and he replied, “I’m too smart for the first grade, my sister is in the 3rd grade and I’m smarter than her too.”
The teacher took him to the principal’s office and explained the situation to the principal.
The principal told her that he would give Johnny a test, and if he failed one question he would have to go back to first grade and be quiet.
The teacher and Johnny both agreed.
Principal: “What is 3 x 3”
Johnny: “9”
Principal: “6 x 6”
Johnny: “36”
And so, it went on like this, the principal asked him every question a third grader would know. Finally, after about an hour he told the teacher, “I see no reason Johnny can’t go to the third grade, he answered all the questions right.”
The teacher asked if she could ask him some questions. The principal and Johnny agreed.
Teacher: “What does a cow have 4 of that I only have two?
Johnny: “Legs”
Teacher: “What do you have in your pants that I don’t have?” the principal gasps but before he could stop him from answering Johnny says, “pockets”
Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?
Johnny: “Pants”
Teacher: “What starts with F and ends in K and means excitement?”
Johnny: “Firetruck”
The principal breathes a big sigh of relief and says “Put Johnny in fifth grade, I got the last 4 questions wrong myself.
