''Some professors really shouldn't teach': Student gets bad grade on midterm because teacher made him rush, cue malicious compliance for the final

''Some professors really shouldn't teach': Student gets bad grade on midterm because teacher made him rush, cue malicious compliance for the final

Students are not always the primary reason for getting poor grades. Sometimes, it can be stifling extracurricular commitments, overbearing parents, absent parents, a lack of access to proper resources and technology, etc. But sometimes the reason is even simpler. Sometimes, it's just the teacher. This could be the result of a professor doing a subpar job giving lessons or failing to give students a proper understanding of the course material prior to assessing them. In this case, the professor'…

'I offered a solution': Student demands algebra teacher regrade paper, teacher gives her lower grade

This student was very insistent about her grades … maybe she should've also been a little nicer to the professor, though. U/Ancient_Educator_76 is a college professor who is, in their own words, super petty. However, they claim they're also nice to their students, and since they realize their students are trying their hardest, they tend to be kind when they're grading papers and tests . It's all about manners, though. The professor has a student named Mara who asks inane questions, interrupts t…

'I can do this in my head': Teacher makes student show his work, tells him it should take up the whole page, cue malicious compliance

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…

20+ Funny Exam Fails From Students Who Clearly Didn't Study

We've all had those moments as students when we sit in front of an exam and have absolutely no idea how we're going to get through this one. You're staring at the page, thinking about the fact that you didn't study and all the hours of procrastination from last night. But there's nothing you can do about it at this point. Sometimes, you just have to lean into the fact that you're not going to do well on this, so why bother pretending that you know what you're talking about? These students deser…

The principal of the school asked everyone to be 30 min early for the exam. 30 or so hours of overtime were paid, and she had to monitor students herself.

'Most of us simply ignored her...But a dozen of us decided to comply': Principal ignores teacher's schedule, ruins her own Friday

School testing is an important part of a student's year, and these tests have to be administered with exact time measurements. This teacher shared their experience with this on r/MaliciousCompliance – they got to talk to their boss in a way that most people only dream of! As u/Djorgal shared, they work part time as a math teacher in France. Since they only work part-time, they kept telling their principal that they wouldn't be able to cover the entirety of the student's upcoming tests. With the…
