Revenge is most certainly sweet, and best served by FERPA. Karen and Karen Jr. thought that they were so sly. The mother and daughter team had worked out a system where Karen (the teacher) would pull the necessary strings to get Karen Jr. (her daughter) all the accommodations one could need to ace a test without any effort at all. Of course, cheaters never win, and someone always finds out in the end. The Karens ultimately had to pay the price for all their BS.

This heartwarming thread tells the story of a courageous, selfless girl enduring rounds of rude teasing from her classmates, because she was committed to helping out her socially anxious friend. Turns out her friend was too nervous to ask the questions herself, so this girl would do it for her. She'd ask so many questions that the teacher would start to give her a hard time. That's just not cool, teach. Either way, this is a pure reflection of a beautiful friendship.

This wasn't petty at all. We're talking about someone with a major transgression that had the audacity to steal someone else's hard-earned research. Cheaters never win. It always catches up to them in the end. In this case, the ex-advisor gets rightfully exposed, and that goes on to cost her her job.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the absolute worst field trips that people have ever been on. Many of us have been there as miserable students, stuck fulfilling an obligation to go to some boring place because it's related in some way to the class's material.
This guy's story about misinterpreting a fellow classmate's antics is a solid lesson in mindfully thinking outside of oneself. We go on to learn that the guy's classmate was just trying to save his seat and befriend him. Sounds like the two end up getting along well and finally having that lunch by the end of the story.
Group work is the worst. Many of us have been in the middle of a situation where we are weighed down by having to carry classmates who refuse to pitch in on a project specifically designed to call upon everyone's efforts. Fortunately, this student had their wits about them and took just the kind of petty revenge that taught those lazy and entitled classmates a lesson.
Check out another satisfying revenge tale with this student who did 60% of a group project, only to have the group try (and fail) to cut them out.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the funniest and most ruthless reviews that students ever left for teachers. Students can get real creative with the rare insults when it comes to their final words on a particular teacher. Would expect nothing less.
This aunt sounds like an absolute nightmare. She proceeded to move in with some family, and mooch off them to such an extent, while being a genuinely toxic disturbance, that the kid was left with no other choice but to take revenge. It really was more of a well deserved scenario of karmic justice. For another story about an aunt being a nasty person, check out the time Auntie Karen offered exposure as payment and got called out.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most useless bits of information that students were taught in school. We've all been there. Just muddling through the academic grind because we have to, and already aware enough to know that so much of the mind numbing information we're being force fed won't actually end up serving a purpose out in the real world.
This nostalgic Twitter thread very successfully hits on many of the iconic memories from muddling through elementary school. Whether it was trying to make sure you didn't get caught by those chairs' ferocious static electricity, or fall victim to the terrible taste of those wooden spoons; these are sure to bring many folks back to those strange olden days.
Some folks might connect with this Quora post that aims to break down the implications of the assigning the word smart to different individuals. Seems like there are a whole lot of "gifted students" out there that suffered the fallout of fielding so much pressure at a young age, just cause tests in class were a bit easier.
