I used to fear that I would be made fun of for having curly hair. It made me feel different, since very few people in my grade growing up had similar hair as me. Looking back on it, I think a lot of that fear was self-consciousness. Kids will indeed bully you for things you …

When it comes down to it, much of the information we learn in school does not pertain to our everyday lives. Sure, maybe the skills I learned in English class are pertinent to my current career, but I’m not thinking about the contents of my Chemistry or Physics classes regularly in my adult life.  To …

There are so many reasons I cannot imagine being a teacher, but one of the main ones is that I’d be completely outnumbered. Even if I taught at a school with a nice and low student-to-teacher ratio, those kids would always be able to overpower me if they decided to lay siege on my person. …

School days, school days, teacher’s golden rule days. Many adults claim that your school years are the easiest part of your life, but I couldn’t disagree more. There’s so much expectation put upon schoolchildren! Instead of having one or two bosses to report to, you have eight teachers, parents, and every other adult in your …

Information is ever-evolving. That’s why there are new editions of textbooks, up-to-date encyclopedias, and good folks working tirelessly to constantly update Wikipedia pages (I’m NOT looking at you, Wiki-vandals). We’re always learning new things, observing new phenomena, and doing new research. They used to teach that Pluto was a planet. I’m still salty about that …

Ah, high school. It’s the worst time in a person’s life, and yet Hollywood wants to make the most movies about it. When you’re in it, you can’t even tell how bad it is. Your emotions are out of control, but no more out of control than they’ve been every year since the end of …

Teachers Discuss How They Deal With Rowdy Middle School Boys

I don’t think it’s a controversial statement that middle school boys are the worst. I luckily only had to deal with them for a couple of years (shoutout to absolute menaces to society, Alex and Luke). Still, some unfortunate adults have made entire careers out of trying to control this demographic. Bless their hearts.  There …

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that public education in America is struggling right now. People often cite a recent major historical event of this decade as the cause of students falling behind. It’s clear that the past few years have only exacerbated an existing educational problem that’s only worsening.  Everybody has a different …

I disagree with the baby boomer generation on some things. I don’t really see the harm in giving out «participation trophies» for sports and other activities. As someone who received my fair share of participation trophies, let me drop a truth bomb on y’all: We knew they did not mean anything. Some kids actually got …

Everybody remembers a moment from school when a teacher abjectly humiliated them in front of the whole class. I have several such moments, but this one sticks out in my mind as being wholly inappropriate. I had a Mormon 8th-grade science teacher that I did not care for much. She literally forgot my name halfway …
