23 Memes That’ll Make You Relive Middle School Whether You Want to or Not
Middle school was an era. Not necessarily a good one, but definitely a memorable one.

And if you weren’t …

Mom tells her unschooled daughter she has straight A’s and a 4.0 GPA, has no high school transcript for her to send to the 17 colleges she’s allegedly been accepted at: ‘I don’t see how one could be radically unschooled and not have straight A’s’
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.

Assistant principal bans teachers from failing kids, insists they give students A’s or B’s instead of F’s: ‘If they know the material but don’t turn in any work, then they should have an A or B in your class.’
When I was in high school, there were extremely generous late-work policies. You had three days to turn in late work, and if you didn’t turn it in after those days were up, you’d get a big fat zero. They would threaten zeros, but I knew nary a kid who actually got a zero if …

Mom refuses to take daughter’s good grades off the fridge, despite hurting less academic stepdaughter’s feelings: ‘If she gets a good grade we can put it on the fridge’
A big part of growing up is learning that life isn’t fair. There will always be someone better than you at something, and the quicker you accept that, the easier it will be to find what you will excel at. I went to school with so many brilliant and athletic kids, and there was comfort …

‘I am embarrassed for his teacher’: Parent complains about nonsensical grading rubric for eighth grader son’s school project
One problem that every kind of teacher has to try and solve is how you capture and keep the attention of a class. What might work in one year totally fails the next. If you’ve been in the profession for a long time, Gen Alpha might not be captivated by the same tactics as millennials …
