Some teachers try to make their lessons modern by implementing movies, while others can make any lesson interesting with their ex…

'I'm just going to have to drop out then': Student starts college a year early to get back at guidance counselor

Guidance counselors are supposed to help you figure out your future, not hinder you. It seems like so often, guidance counselors just make things more difficult for their students. U/TacoJesusJr knows that firsthand, and they shared their experience in a post to r/MaliciousCompliance. Gym class is a polarizing thing. A lot of kids really dislike it, especially when you have gym class during first period. You find yourself kicking a soccer ball around in the dewy grass at 8 in the morning and th…

'I gave him an instant zero': Student pays for service to write school paper, gets immediately flunked

This teacher had no time for games. Instead, they had to give their student a giant F on their paper. Students have been trying and sometimes succeeding at cheating for millennia.

'My essay doesn't need any citations because my opinions are fact': 35+ Teachers who taught pretentious know-it-all students

As if teachers don't have enough on their plates, they sometimes get students who think they don't need to learn anymore , because they already know all there is to know.

When I was a senior in high school, a teacher told me that by…
