School assignment

One day in elementary school, a young boy was listening to his teacher lecture about English. "In a word like archaeologist or scientist, the letters i-s-t at the end mean that the words are talking about a person who does something a lot or is really good at it."

Then the students had an assignment. "On a piece of paper, write down 'I can't wait to become a _______', and fill in the blank with whatever you want to be really good at and do all the time when you grow up." All the students completed the assignment and turned it in.

Later that week, the boy's mother got notified there needed to be a parent teacher conference. When meeting with the teacher she asked what was wrong. The teacher looked sternly at the mother. "Well, we had an assignment asking students what they couldn't wait to become when they grow up. Here, take a look at what your son wrote."

The mother took the paper from the teacher and looked at it for a moment. "Oh, dear," the mother said, chuckling.

"This is not a laughing matter," the teacher responded.

"No, you see, his father is a high school track team coach. He meant RUNNER, not RACIST."
