From the hilarious to the just plain bonkers, here is this week’s pick of what you have overheard in the classroom. 

As ever, we want more. Tweet your entries to @tes with the hashtag #TESoverheard or email ed.dorrell@tesglobal.com. The best entry of the week will get a flashing (yes, flashing!) TES pen and a TES mug.
