teacher

An outspoken few of us are scouring our lives looking for unwholesome imagery in television, music and apparently, elementary school art exercises. Some real wild stuff gets passed off as legit by mom groups. This misunderstanding had some extra facepalm on it. Fittingly, people made an even bigger mockery of the situation. Being a teacher can be hard especially when it comes to wild parent teacher conferences.

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. 

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. 

This tutor schooled himself. Sometimes you get caught up in the motions of the job, and you end up being a "tutor" who can't even get their student's name right. To make matters even better, you botch their name to such an extent that you're literally calling them the name of their laptop. Beautiful stuff, really. 

This teacher decided to ask the people of Reddit whether they were a jerk for choosing to fail a student on the last day of class.

The life of a teacher is pretty wild. Teachers can see some incredibly dumb kids. Sometimes a good teacher will do a kid a solid. Teaching can be funny and full of chaos. Sometimes parents have a very limited idea of what a teacher's job actually is, and take any criticism of their child personally. These are some of those times parent-teacher conferences were a little wild.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most savage things they've heard teachers say to students. We're not sure whether the savagery comes from teachers just being fed up with all the stresses of grading papers and keeping students in line, or what. All we know is these rare insults from teachers deserve some high marks. 

A viral Twitter moment has people looking up their old teachers. Bring on the tidal wave of nostalgia. You never know; your old high school teacher who always had a low key cool vibe, might actually be a massive social media influencer nowadays. Or maybe your teacher retired right around your birthday. Either way, a fun little experiment to try out with your old teachers from back in the day. 

These funny teacher tweets do an excellent job at capturing the chaotic existence that is being a teacher. When teachers aren't dealing with kids breaking out in wild temper tantrums, or handing in incomprehensible exams, they're just trying to keep things somewhat in order. Easier said than done. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for teachers to share the dumbest lot of answers they've ever received on exams. We almost appreciate the desperate effort that was put forth by these clueless students, who just wanted to take a hail mary shot at getting some points on an otherwise completely failed exam. 

School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.

There's dumb, and then there's Kevin. That's a whole different level of stupid right there. 

School and colleges can have some pretty draconian rules when it comes to mandatory attendance for testing. This can lead to some tense situations, and pretty interesting stories like this guy who had to show up looking scary sick to a test. In this case it was the teacher themselves who battled with the system.
