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 …

Art Teacher Destroys Students Sculpture Trying to “Improve It”
Art can be a difficult subject to teach because there’s not technically a «right» or «wrong» way to do it. A lazy student can show up to art class, put no effort into their work, and claim that their low-effort piece came out exactly how they intended it to. That’s the oldest trick and the …

Teacher Memes for Teachers Counting Down Until Thanksgiving Break
I do not envy the workload that teachers deal with. They have to teach kids all day, grade papers all night, attend administrative meetings, make new lesson plans, and deal with needy parents. I feel overwhelmed just typing all of that! Not to mention, they must manage and optimize productivity for the most distracted generation …

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 …

7th Grade Teacher Shares The Struggles of Teaching Kids on a 4th Grade Level
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 …

High School Spends Thousands of Dollars in Grant Money on Locking Up Student’s Cell Phones For The Entire School Day
I went to high school in the age of smartphones. When I entered the 9th grade, I entered with a purple slide phone in my backpack. After the first three weeks of school, it became abundantly clear that I needed to get an iPhone as soon as possible; not because of the social stigma of …

Teachers Share Student Names That Correlate With Bad Behavior
I still remember the names of the problem children from my elementary school. There was this kid named Parker who, in the middle of my 3rd-grade teacher talking about math, asked her if there was a guy inside of mascot costumes. I think he knew there was indeed some guy or lady inside of all …

Mother Grounds Her Kid for Six Months After They Break a Vase
Back when I was in my tween years, the one sentence that struck me with a deafening blow was, ‘You’re grounded’. Fair, I was grounded for 2 weeks, not 6 months, like this person, u/DwarfyMorphy.
