school

The world's just never going to run out of terribly entitled, delusional, and downright cheap individuals that insist on wasting the time of sellers just trying to have a rational negotiation. It sounds like this choosing beggar wanted 22 homework assignments done, but without having to worry about paying for all that hard work. Yeah, good luck. For another ridiculous choosy beggar scenario check out this dude who complained about a $1 taco, and proceeded to get set straight by the owner. 

Despite a litany of reasonable excuses, this school administration was determined to send someone to detention. This person's dad, being a bro, decided to show up for detention and make a point regarding the absurdity of the whole situation. Sometimes school faculty isn't this rigid and vindictive, like these teachers who pulled total bro moves.

School can get to be a very boring obligation, and it's only a matter of time before mischievous students end up stirring up some trouble to keep themselves entertained. With that being said, some actions absolutely don't warrant the punishments that they're met with. The folks in this AskReddit thread describe the most mind blowingly stupid things that they ended up getting busted for. Like, yo, let the kid look out the window and stare at the birds for a second. 

This teacher's wholesome moment with a rather moody student ended up coming full circle in the best way. The universe speaks in mysterious ways. It sounds like the teacher left a profoundly positive impact on the student who was going through a tough time. You never know how far an act of kindness can carry someone down the wild road of life. 

Bart Simpson gets an F, and all of a sudden Tumblr goes full on debate mode. Seems about right. If you're looking for more fun from the wild world of Tumblr's obsessive and creative minds, check out this Tumblr thread of a dude getting schooled on physics and car safety.

Let this be a lesson to all of us that the power of gummy bears should absolutely never be underestimated. Gummy bears can motivate someone to dig deeper than they otherwise would never will themselves to go. Good for the teacher for using something that they already had to improve a situation from the unwanted place that it otherwise was stuck in. 

School drama can be strange. While it's probably not advisable to use the mediocre work of students to get back at faculty, this teacher played it cool in an unfair situation. That said, teachers often totally misjudge their students, like these students in this social experiment. In a twist on teacher/student expectations, here's a student who won an art contest to spite their rude teacher.

This teacher's viral story about teaching deaf kids how farts work is a hilariously wholesome little tale. Taking a moment and picturing the look of shock and the confusion thereafter on these kids faces as they learn about the wild world of farts is just golden. 

Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s. 

While it is a teacher's responsibility to know things, they're still human and are capable of getting those things wrong. It's when a teacher says something wrong and doesn't own up to it when things get weird. What's the value in lying to kids just so that you can maintain a false sense of authority? Sometimes teachers don't give their students enough credit, like this tumblr thread about a teacher underestimating their students for a social experiment. With the veritable weirdness some educators display, luckily there are also teachers who pulled total bro moves.

The hierarchy of school can be strange, especially when there's some miscommunication going on between staff and students. In this case, the staff didn't understand the full scope of what was going on, and had themselves an absurd situation on their hands. Here's a tumblr story of a teacher who underestimated their students in a social experiment, and here are some "that's amazing, but please stop" school stories.

When you get a few hundred to a thousand developing adults into one building and try to get them to follow rules for 7 hours a day, you are setting up a recipe for weirdness. Some kids wanted attention. Other kids (most of us) were trying not to be cringeworthy and failed. Other kids (also most of us) were just bored. We all remember a day at school, trying to get through some drab math exercises when another kid would lean over and say "dude, did you hear about what Jeremy did?" And what an interesting time we'd all have recounting Jeremy's shenanigans. It's not just the kids, sometimes teachers say weird and wild junk too.

It's a whole lot presumptuous for this classmate to insist on a whole new snack day inspired by this person's free donuts, but they seemed to have gotten the picture. For another funny story of someone refusing to be bullied about donuts, here's a new employee who is not having free donut day.

Bullies are the worst. This particular scenario involving a class bully has that sweet, fairytale ending though. The bully gave their classmate a hard time for a monologue that took quite a bit of courage to present to the rest of the class. The thing is, the bully very clearly took a shortcut on their own book report, and only watched the movie. So, their classmate asked just the kind of question that exposed the bully's cheating to the rest of the class. Everyone just needs to play nice. 

George Pointon took to twitter to matter-of-factly address the comedic skills of his young class. He ascertained that some overly relied on dirty stuff, some couldn't read the room and others had great timing. Kids don't make the greatest comics, but they also don't make great much anything else, as evidenced by this proof that kids are weird and dumb.
