Elementary School Teacher Asks Class Of 6-Year-Olds To Make Confessions

One elementary school teacher turned a simple classroom question into a surprisingly funny thread. When British teacher @GeorgePointon_ asked his 6-year-old students what they wanted to confess, they did not hold back.

The answers ranged from strong opinions about food to oddly specific family observations, and every one of them sounded exactly like something a child would say. It is the kind of post that reminds you how blunt, honest, and unintentionally hilarious kids can be.

Here are the confessions that stood out most.

These first confessions set the tone right away.

1. "Loud noises are too loud"

Pointon takes the time to further expound on each confession, hopefully in a similar way to how he responded to the kids at the time.

GeorgePointon_

I, too, agree that loud noises are too loud.

2. "Pizza isn't very nice"

JJ might have shared the most controversial opinion of the day.

GeorgePointon_

My kids love pizza, but one prefers theirs without any cheese.

3. "Whenever I have dinner I give my dog green beans"

Laura has been channeling years of movie and TV child stereotypes, perhaps even proving that those stereotypes were based on real events.

GeorgePointon_

Honestly, who hasn't snuck their dog a bit of food they didn't want to eat?

4. "I like the cinema"

Love a kid with a solid passion.

GeorgePointon_

I prefer watching movies from the comfort of my home, but I can totally appreciate the appeal of going to a movie theater.

5. "We only have 8 fingers because thumbs aren't fingers. They're thumbs"

Belle comes in hot with some anatomical distinctions between fingers and thumbs.

GeorgePointon_

Anatomically, a thumb is unique compared to fingers. Fingers have two joints and three bones, while thumbs have one joint and two bones.

6. "Dance Monkey is my favourite song"

Way to live authentically, Mo!

GeorgePointon_

I hadn't heard of this song before, so I looked it up to share with everyone else who may also be clueless.

That song choice needed a little context.

7. "A Stegosaurus has four spikes on its tail"

GeorgePointon_

Hell yeah, they did, Sam, and a walnut-sized brain.

8. "My Daddy says little sister has a head like a traffic cone"

Sounds like her little sister had some help coming into this world thanks to a vacuum.

9. "Have you played frisbee? It's when you have a plastic thing and throw it at people"

She's not wrong.

GeorgePointon_

"To" vs "at" basically boils down to semantics, in my opinion.

Bonus: "You can only do a handstand if you fall down before it"

Truly inspiring, April.

Kids really do have a way of making complete sense and no sense at the same time.

Did any of these confessions resonate with you? I 100% agree with Rory about loud noises; sometimes they really are too loud.
