One teacher was asked to take a closer look at a student's paper ---the student wasn't happy with their B minus grade. College professors do a lot of work for a little bit of money. This person, u/sushkunes, writes that when they were a “poorly paid and overworked adjunct professor,” they had an experience with an entitled student that stuck with them. After you read this story, check out this guy who decided to call their HOA every single time they put their trash out to the curb.

This prof is seeking opinions about how to handle a strange work situation. After all, sometimes it's hard to tell if you're just complaining about something annoying at work, or if it's a real issue that needs to be addressed. As if teachers don't have enough on their plates, this professor is carrying an extra large burden. U/Different_Pianist756 had a question for the internet users of the world: what would you do if you knew your coworker was doing something wrong? And not something small,…

The weather gets chillier, leaves turn brown, and school is back in session . After a long summer full of fun and relaxation, it's time to hit the books once and for all. From pre-K students to college students , there are some things that never change during your days at school. You'll always have that one crazy teacher who gives mountains of homework and loves to dish out failing grades. Or maybe you'll end up with a really nice teacher… but then find out that she takes teaching so seriously…

Now that we're officially back in session, it's time for some amusing high school and college anecdotes for any folks who have confused feelings about the school year. Even if you're no longer in school and all your loved ones are out of school too, there is something about the dawn of autumn that brings back those funny, wild, and cringeworthy school memories. Of course, I have many but the one I will reflect upon today took place during orientation week from my freshman year of college. I was…

We all remember the people who would do mental math in class all the time. You know, those kids who thought it was cool that they could do double-digit multiplication in their heads. Sure, it could make them seem intelligent, and perhaps they are. But it also makes you straight-up obnoxious, and in some cases (like this one), your work can be straight-up wrong. Not to take us down a mathematics rabbit hole, but do any of us remember that point when algebra became hard? That point of no return w…

Teachers must have to try so hard not to laugh out loud at the answers their students give. According to the teachers on this r/AskReddit post, who have some hilarious stories to share, their student's answers surprise them every day. As a teacher in America , you're responsible for guiding students through a full year of reading, discussions, tests, and pop quizzes. Elementary school teachers work with the same kids all day long, while in most middle and high schools, teachers specialize in on…

Cheaters never win… While this lesson might be taught to young children in order to discourage them from cheating, unfortunately, in the world at large, cheaters often do win and have a sizable advantage in the form of the shortcuts they're able to take instead of taking the long road like honest folk. Sure, sometimes they'll be caught, but if they have enough wealth or social status, they may just be given a slap on the wrist and sent on their way. Cheating in universities is rife, especially…

This college is not a fan of “meaninglessly easy” courses, so they put some rules in place to halt them. However, this posed a problem for this professor, Paul, whose students actually did too well in their college class. U/Positive-Character98 shared a story to the r/MaliciousCompliance community. The story belongs to the professor at their college,

Every once in a while, a great teacher comes along and defends his students by way of some glorious malicious compliance.

The power struggle between different forces in high school is real… in this case, OP relayed a high school experience that left them in everlasting awe of their mechanography teacher. Whenever an important date approached, all the students would line up in the courtyard, standing still in formation as one of the teachers would do a speech about whatever day it was and the importance of it. Said speeches would amount to maybe 10-15 minutes, which was fair, because keeping 150 teenagers lined up…

Some of us undoubtedly have terrible handwriting, but do any of us have handwriting so terrible that it can fool a leading forensic expert? It's important to remember that while being an expert on something means that you have a wealth of experience in the subject and have seen many things, it doesn't mean that you have seen every thing. Thinking otherwise is bound to land you in some embarrassing situations that call your experience into question. On top of this, in general, it's important to…

Now that June is coming to a close, most schools have officially wrapped up the end of the school year, which means students can enjoy their much-needed summer vacations.

Something tells me this won't be the last time this happens.

Some professors simply enjoy the authority.

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977 , a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair si…

We've all had that dream where we're wandering around school, trying to find a classroom . In the dream, maybe you're in your old middle school or your college campus , carrying your backpack. As you wander the halls, they all look the same and they stretch for miles. Maybe you enter a room, but it's not the right one! In this nightmare scenario, you're late for a test and cannot possibly find it. Then, you wake up in a cold sweat, thankful to know it's just a dream. Well, not this person! I gu…
