The first story I'd like to present is "Regarding your Position as our Third Year Teacher" by Sylvia Spruck Wrigley. This story is written as a termination letter of the humorous misadventures of a third grade school teacher, we know only as Miss Vesta. Even more amusing is the fact that the teacher teaches at no ordinary school. Miss Vesta teaches at the School for Off-World Learning for Space Station Children.
The letter outlines a few things the teacher has done to get herself laid-off. They were so funny, I was grinning from ear to ear the entire time, even laughing out loud. The teacher wanting to impart on the third grade children of the School for Off-World Learning for Space Station Children the error of their ways, of things they cannot possibly understand (having never even been to Earth), was hilarious.
And to find out the length of the teacher's contract and how long she actually lasted was too funny!
The story is labeled as Science Fiction, but it could easily fit in the Humor (fiction) section too.
