Students will sometimes ask me to confirm/deny a rumor they've heard about another teacher or some staff member.
I say to them, "Can you keep a secret?"
"Yeah!"
"So can I."
That's the great thing about having 11 and 12 year olds. They've never heard most of the old jokes.
Mostly, though, it's because I'm so out of the loop that they find out all the good stuff before I do, and I tend to get it at the official announcement.
