The weather gets chillier, leaves turn brown, and school is back in session . After a long summer full of fun and relaxation, it's time to hit the books once and for all. From pre-K students to college students , there are some things that never change during your days at school. You'll always have that one crazy teacher who gives mountains of homework and loves to dish out failing grades. Or maybe you'll end up with a really nice teacher… but then find out that she takes teaching so seriously…

Now that we're officially back in session, it's time for some amusing high school and college anecdotes for any folks who have confused feelings about the school year. Even if you're no longer in school and all your loved ones are out of school too, there is something about the dawn of autumn that brings back those funny, wild, and cringeworthy school memories. Of course, I have many but the one I will reflect upon today took place during orientation week from my freshman year of college. I was…

No matter how you feel about your childhood school days, chances are you had one teacher at some point whose impact was long-lasting and not in a good way. Sure, there are excellent teachers out there, ones who recognize good potential and understand how to motivate and encourage students from all walks of life. Those are the kinds of teachers you never forget in a good way. But at some point, you probably also had to deal with the opposite kind of educator, the kind who made your life difficul…

“I mean, it was a true answer, just not what I was looking for,” one teacher admitted.

No matter how popular you were in school, there was definitely a moment when you either literally or figuratively fell flat on your face. That moment is seared in your memory for as long as you are living. Perhaps it haunts you when you go to sleep and you wake up in the middle of the night completely paranoid that you forgot to wear underwear to class. Perhaps it affects your daily routine somehow, like always bringing an extra change of clothes with you in case you have an uncontrollable bath…

The cafeteria chefs who cook for public school kids are doing a very important job, but the meals they serve up can sometimes miss the mark. I want to take this opportunity to use my platform to talk about Italian dunkers. These were a top tier lunch food , and as a very picky child, it was my saving grace. These Italian dunkers were basically just mozzarella cheese sticks wrapped inside dough, but they tasted heavenly. Looking back, giving an 8-year-old four cheese sticks for lunch with a side…

Every once in a while, a great teacher comes along and defends his students by way of some glorious malicious compliance.

Now that June is coming to a close, most schools have officially wrapped up the end of the school year, which means students can enjoy their much-needed summer vacations.

Hats off to this server for making sure this kid's prom night did not go as planned.

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977 , a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair si…

I mean, he was just following the grading policy!

This one goes out to all the teachers out there!

Sometimes people need a little bit of monetary consequence to let them know that their actions have been bad; it's the only stimulus that a lot of entitled, narcissistic, or power-tripping people will respond to. And, while I can't agree with the notion that a teacher should normally have to pay for punishing their student's poor behavior, in this instance, it's clear that this teacher was just abusing their power and really mistreating and harassing this poor student. It's incredibly dishearte…

Well, if he wasn't going to be remembered as Carrot Boy before, he certainly is now; there's no walking it back from this one, folks. As commenters have suggested, if he had merely approached the conversation as if it was an old inside joke rather than something that he was harboring deep resentment over, he could have won his old classmates over and finally been rid of his demons in one swift stroke. Instead, the monkey's paw has curled—and the prophecy comes to pass. He is now, and forever wi…

Every so often, you come across an authority figure who just wants to see you fail.

Here is further proof that group projects are the worst!
