Everyone loves to hate on Gen Z. ‘They’re always on their phones. They don’t pay attention. They have no work ethic!’ are just some of the things I hear. Say what you will about Gen Z, but they have the courage that many of us could only dream of having. They embrace diversity, inclusivity, and …

25+ History Memes for Those Who Learn From the Mistakes of the Past
Yeah, I’ll say it. I did well on the AP US History exam. I was a nerd in high school and proud to be it. What helped is that I had a fantastic teacher who made learning history fun. She made us all feel special as students, so we were inspired to learn. And heck, if …

Boyfriend who peaked in high school gets offended that nerdy girlfriend didn’t know who he was in high school: ‘Nobody had time to think about popular kids’
I went to one of those public high schools where the nerds were as vicious, if not more vicious, than the popular kids. They weren’t throwing tampons or pouring pig blood on each other, but they were ferociously competing against each other to be the most highly-ranked students in the school. At a school with …

‘Square dancing’: Former students share the most useless things they learned in school
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 …

‘My 19 year old can’t spell or write’: Unschooling mom with illiterate kids calls herself a failure, the internet agrees
I have always been a little suspicious of alternative methods of schooling. I know that there are some parents out there who are completely competent at teaching their kids from Kindergarten to 12th grade, but I highly doubt that’s the majority of homeschoolers. Most of the time, kids who do their schooling at home would …

25+ Philosophy Memes That Think, Therefore They Are
Y’all ever wonder if there is such a thing as true evil? Yeah, me too. Perhaps everyone is the main character of their own lives and is convinced that everything they do is good. Then who is the jury that decides whether or not they succeeded? God? Fellow men? But on the other hand, how …

‘I have seen students who can’t write a complete sentence’: Teachers share the innumerable ways their students are significantly behind
It’s no secret that many kids are getting left behind in the education system. When I was a kid, America was all about not leaving kids behind in this exact setting (when I was a kid, I thought it was about getting left behind at the grocery store), but now that it’s been 20 years …

30 Teacher Memes To Pass Around The Teacher’s Lounge
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. …

Teachers Complain About All the Basic Knowledge That Pupils No Longer Have
Childhood is a vital time of life for many reasons, and perhaps the most important one is that it’s a time of learning things. We don’t just pop out the womb instinctively knowing every single thing that we’re supposed to do. Our first eighteen years are instrumental in setting us up for the practicalities 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 …
