Sometimes the student becomes the teacher—and sometimes, the student-teacher becomes the teacher of the teacher-student. Funny how life works like that, isn't it? The moral here is that you shouldn't ever assume that you know everything just because you're in charge; in fact, you'd do best to assume the opposite… A great leader is constantly learning themselves—after all, everyone has something to teach you—and identifying and utilizing other people's strengths is how you build a successful tea…

Grading policies are meant to be followed; after all, that's all this student was doing! This college student had been performing well on all the previous assignments for a project and knew that the lowest grade would be dropped as that was what was written explicitly in the syllabus. Because of other upcoming finals, he had to make a tough decision and submit a subpar assignment (by subpar, we mean literally just the title page and a brief summary of the project) in order to prioritize the mor…

Whether we like it or not, group projects are one of the earliest signifiers in life of who's trustworthy and who isn't.

They tried to sabotage her, so there's no reason why she shouldn't give these dudes a taste of their own medicine.

Power-hungry authority figures can show up anywhere, especially on a college campus.

No one likes group projects, especially not the person pulling the weight of the entire presentation . One unfortunate Redditor, u/grapeicecreamfloat, got stuck in that situation, but luckily they were able to enact some satisfying petty revenge! As they shared to r/pettyrevenge, this student got stuck with slackers in a project that was a big percentage of the overall grade. The OP ended up doing so much of the work, and the professor wouldn't help the OP improve the group's dynamic, saying th…

The illusion that all teachers are benevolent beings—there to teach you the shining light of their ways and the depths of their infinite knowledge—is shattered when you reach higher education. There you become faced with the reality that is a world of disgruntled, entitled adults with domineering attitudes who are determined to pass on—with unfettered rage—the types of institutional wrongdoings that were done to them. It's the type of attitude you face time and time again as a young adult: “I h…

I don't see this ending well for the professor...

If this isn't evidence of a desperate education system, I don't know what is!

There are times in our lives when we face the challenge of someone who holds authority over us. This challenge may not be totally fair — or even sensical — but it necessitates a response all the same. We then have a choice at that point, do we rise to the challenge? Or find another path? This student decided to rise to their professor's challenge when they were told that their paper wasn't long enough, despite being within the required length range. When the time for the next paper rolled aroun…

As a wise man once said, “—There's always a bigger fish.” But that concept, that idea, has prevailed throughout human existence. There's always a higher power that we need to call to, no matter who we are: Such as a king—who holds supreme executive power because some watery tart threw a sword at him. This was a lesson that this professor was about to learn when they decided to

I swear teachers are the most disrespected people...

It's interesting how quickly priorities can shift. In one moment everyone's all up in arms about hat wearing, and the next moment the teacher is yelling at you to spare everyone the pulsing, leaking nightmare of your Jason Vorhees-like scalp. All we're asking for is a little consistency, but that's a separate tragedy. Here are some other dumb rules schools enforced.

He's probably one of the guys who didn't pull their weight on group projects.

Girl calls her university professor out on his lack of interest in teaching.

Gotta learn somehow.
