Three excellent full sized haiku chuckles. I liked the middle hiaku the most. The humor there was top notch and the imagery was spot. That kid was me many monns ago!

Great haiku!
Good luck with them

HAHA. I could never master HAiku! You are very humorous and astute! Your quips in this form delighted me. Hope Susie does well in school. I would flunk Haiku 606! LOL Best wishes my friend. Brought back old memories of high-school and passing all of my AP classes! Still chucking! "Sweating cause your cheat notes are fading or vice versa!" I once used disappearing ink by mistake! LOL

All the antics of the kids, captured in your haikus! Yes, that is how class will start for me-although I have considered breaking a board or two with a roundhouse kick to get their attention to start the day. LOL Oh, I like the cheat notes ones, they do show up like faded tattos on their arms and clothes, when they wipe their hands somewhere and wonder what happened! And they had better study, those little darlings, just because I will come to adore them as my students and want them to do what is best for their lives. Nothing makes me happier, than to see an old student and they tell me what college they are going to, what scholarships they have won, and that they remember my class. Thank you my dear for your glorious haikus, they made me smile today.

I remember
Those long days as an adult student, I got dizzy thinking of it again! I am very understanding with my adult college class, because I know kids get sick and break arms, and all kinds of things. But it is fun to teach them, I get a captive audience for 3 hours to blab at- Nah, I don't lecture all the time, but it is a nice break from 11-12 year olds in the daytime. It keeps me out of trouble.
