Sex is a confusing topic for many school districts, teachers, and students, and sometimes folks are taught things that don't end up being exactly correct, or helpful. Sometimes kids ask hilariously awkward sex ed questions, and other times everyone just leaves confused.

The point of school is to learn, so it would make sense that a test could itself be a learning experience rather than an opportunity to fail. We've seen cultures collide over grading scales, and the idea of a test taking on a different kind of role is an interesting concept. Lord knows they're stressful as hell.
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.

What is a diabetes pump for but injecting drama into a school? Sure this is technically entrapment, but the trap has been set. Not many students are given the opportunity to make their teacher look like an ass. Here are some wild junk teachers said as well as the story of an overly strict teacher telling a student not to speak.
And with that, maybe there's evidence the world won't completely slip into utter chaos. Sure, the strangeness of students can result in some weird and stupid school stories, but that doesn't mean students are necessarily complete animals all the time. Sometimes it can be teachers who say weird and wild junk.
We've been out of school for a little bit so maybe things haven't changed much, but damn teachers used to get away with saying some absolutely wild stuff. Some were great, most were fine, but some could be wrong and dumb or just awkward bullies. Sometimes bad teachers got their comeuppance, like this strict teacher who told a student not to speak and it totally backfired. Kids can be weird too, like in these weird and stupid school stories.
Bureaucracy can be a mind-numbing puzzle of forms to fill out and cranky people to deal with. Sometimes you get a real treasure of a human being who absolutely hates what they do, and dealing with them is pulling teeth. Here's one of those times. For another school themed story, here's Karen and Karen Jr getting outed for trying to cheat the school system.
Students usually don't have anything better to do than be weird, like the ones in this Tumblr post who worshiped a stuffed octopus. It doesn't take too much reminiscing to come across a time when someone at school did something weird as hell. As it turns out, that weirdness extends to awkward moments at high school reunions.
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.
This quick and entertaining Tumblr post highlights just how silly kids can get in the classroom. Can't blame them for taking a liking to Fweej the Overseer. Dude looks too cool for school. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post about the cold-blooded freak devil cave goat.
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.
Back in school, many of us were tempted to write a goofy fake name or have a bunch of stupid place holding statements in essays like "Dumb evidence goes here god dammit." More times than we'd like to admit, we remembered and deleted them moments before turning in said essay. This time a student actually turned it in, tried to save themselves with an apology, and the professor had a sense of humor about it. It's not too far-fetched, teachers have to deal with dumb essays all the time.
