12 Schoolteachers Describe The Creepiest Thing They’ve Ever Seen A Child Do

From Redditor /u/notrandomatall:

I've been teaching six-year-olds for the last two months, and a few weeks ago, one of the kids creeped the f*ck out of me.

Every Monday, we take a trip to a nearby forest so the kids can run off the energy they've saved up during the weekend. During our walk between the school and there, we walk in pairs in a line. This day, on our way back, I end up walking last with this kid who didn't get a walking partner. This particular kid is a very talkative, super cheerful little guy who's rarely down or grouchy.

Anyway, we're walking back to the school, and about halfway there, he says, out of nowhere, "Hey, Notrandomatall?"

"Yeah?" I say, and turn to him.

He stops, looks me in the eye, sporting an ear-to-ear grin, and says, "I'm gonna cut your throat," running a finger across his throat, still looking happy as ever.

I kept a close eye on him the rest of the day.

I'm a preschool teacher in the three- to four-year-old room. The other day after putting a child in a "thinking time," which is essentially a time out, I went over to talk to him about what he had done.

Me: "Thomas, can you talk to me and tell me why you are on a thinking time?"

Thomas: (staring forward, not meeting my eyes) "No, and I'll come to your house and [end] you if you make me."

I stood there completely shocked. Then, he stood up, looked me straight in the eye, and laughed maniacally for a minute before hugging me and sitting back down.

There was a kid in my third grade class who gathered [bird carcasses] while we were hiking and gathering things for our nature mobile project. He [removed their heads] and hung [them] on his mobile, along with the gore-covered sticks he used to [do it]. He was the kid who always smelled like cat urine.

From a former Redditor:

There was this girl in class who got picked on for being poor. I would always defend her and make a special point to talk her up. Because I was well-liked by the kids, she was no longer being teased and those same bullies would now play with her.

So one day, she asks me if I have a girlfriend. I tell her I do. She then says that she wishes she was my girlfriend so that we could have [intercourse]...

I forgot to mention, this was a first-grade class; she was six.

I'm a teacher's aid for a three-year-old program at a small school, and this is one of the freakiest experiences of all my (two) years being there:

This child, Diego, was given the assignment to draw his family. He was all smiles and giggles while doing it, and he drew his family in color - except for one figure, which was taller than the rest and colored in black.

When I asked him who that figure was, the smile disappeared from his face, and he became silent and would just stare down at his lap.

I asked about his family; apparently, he just has a brother and both his parents living at home which would account for four figures. The black figure was the fifth...

The only thing I was able to get out of Diego was "Fernando" when I pointed to the figure and asked who that was.

Teaching dissections, I had students collect the hearts to give as Valentine's Day presents.
