education

This dad was trying to show his son an anti-drug campaign video from the 90s, and it backfired terribly. Specifically, his younger daughter overheard the campaign, and ended up thinking that "eggs" were a suitable synonym for "drugs." So, she heads into school and the next thing you know she's telling the teacher that she had drugs for breakfast! 

These kids might not be providing the answers that their teachers were looking for, but they sure get some extra marks in our book for funny creativity. They're just thinking outside the box. 

The following collection of tweets are all kinds of relatable for anyone who has ever muddled through the often disorienting, exhausting, and generally ridiculous college years. This just further deepened my sweet relief that I'm done with school. What a rollercoaster that whole college thing was. 

A recent AskReddit thread has people sharing the various revenges they took on their bullies. Some of them are of a physical lunchbox swinging nature, while others are nothing short of a masterful, strategic nuclear revenge-- yes, we're referencing the sick genius who got back at a nasty neighbor by planting mint, which has roots that run a long way. 

The moral of the story here is that they always take the pencil. When in the tough and stressful land of academia, you can't afford to move forward without a pencil. All pencil sizes matter. 

Man, we need better sex education. I guess you can't shame people for asking hilarious questions, but some of these assertions are so stupid they're almost dangerous. Even more disappointing, it's the people who don't understand how sex works that end up accidentally having the most children.

Ex-Kindergarten teacher Jessica Gentry's powerful post about quitting her job after 12 years of hard work went viral for a good reason. There's a great message in the post. Sounds like the kids haven't changed, it's the damn parents. At least that's the point she hammers down on off the bat. Check the rest of her message below. 

For some people the path to solving a seemingly simple math problem can be all kinds of complicated. It's funny how difficult we make it for ourselves to crunch them numbers, but sometimes that's the only way. 

Talk about a tough realization to have as a parent. You might be a parent and assume your kid's been busy being a little angel, only to realize they've been stirring up all kinds of negative chaos as their school's resident bully. 

This is NOT a loophole. A separate Twitter thread inspired another one back on Tumblr, that calls out the industrial prison complex for what it is. And that would not be a loophole, or tragic accident. 

Sometimes you grow up and realize that you were in fact that one kid who fell through the cracks on a seemingly obvious bit of knowledge. It happens to the best of them. In this case, a guy learns that he completely misunderstood "The Ugly Duckling", and grew up believing that you can't have female swans. What a brilliant little mix-up. 

This high school sociology professor out of Lowell Massachusetts is ready to educate the masses on all that wild Generation Z slang! Are you ready for it. 

These juicy faculty secrets might make you think twice on any rumors you heard back in school about various faculty members. 

Bart Simpson gets an F, and people have some feelings about it. Leave it to the wonderful community at Tumblr to take a thread to a place we never saw coming. 

These exasperated users are all kinds of puzzled over other people's misunderstandings concerning their areas of study. That atmospheric science one though...

Libraries ain't all dusty bookshelves and tense silence and librarians that can inspire you to feel hyper aware of every noise you throw into their atmosphere. Sometimes, they exercise a sense of humor to go along with the books they provide. See for yourself. Some of these might write laughter into your state of being.
