I do not envy the burdens that teachers bear. Getting an apathetic group to start caring is exceedingly tricky, and that seems to be the situation many modern teachers are in. According to r/Teachers, modern K-12 students do not care about doing a good job, parents perpetually blame the teachers for their kids’ failures, and …

‘STEM majors when people don’t immediately consider them superior’: Math student gets ‘ew’ed on dating app for mentioning math, gets roasted for being upset
In college, you hear the same thing about your major repeatedly. Theatre majors get used to jabs about having to wait tables postgrad, and business majors have heard jokes about their classes being stupidly easy more than they can even count.

«I would lose my mind here»: Incompetent teacher claims 1 divided by 0 is zero, principal backs her up on incorrect answer
Math is one of those subjects that has a distinct right and wrong. In English class, you can write an essay that argues basically anything you want as long as you can use the text to support your arguments. In art class, there is so much room for creative liberties, even if you’re given a …
