Primary school teacher asks students ‘Who is the President of Ireland?’ and gets the most hilarious answer

Rory Cashin

Any chance he’d be up for renaming himself to this?

Kids are amazing.

That mix of a hunger for knowledge and an almost complete lack of any kind of social filter leads to some incredible moments, which brings us to this.

@HellloLucy on Twitter is friends with her neighbour, who happens to be a primary school teacher.

The teacher was marking a quiz he had given the class room, and happened upon this particular set of answers.

First question of the fourth round of questioning was “Who is the President of Ireland?”, and one of his students answered as followed:

Miggeldy Higens.

While it does sound like a character from Harry Potter, we are now 100% positive that this is the only way we will ever be able to refer to President Michael D Higgins Miggeldy Higens from now on.

Amazing.
