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.

This fed up Ohio teacher had enough of her students stealing, swearing, and destroying property. So, she speaks out with a powerful and intelligent message to the community.
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.
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.
You remember learning that the reason veins can appear blue is cause deoxygenated blood turns blue? Well that's total horseshit. Your blood doesn't turn blue, and the reason your veins might look that way is because blue and red light travel though skin with different levels of success, so what's reflected back is a more bluish color. If you just learned this, you may be intrigued by these people who learned basic stuff way too late. Anyway, this dad asked if he was wrong for being really persistent with a teacher teaching the wrong thing.
This teacher decided to ask her students to write letters to God. The replies are nothing short of comedy gold. Whatever questions you might've had about God don't hold a candle to these kids and their curious letters.
The lesson was supposed to be "things aren't always as they seem" but based on the results, it seems like this class might be a waste of time. We've had "mindblowing" ideas like this in the past, but almost no one does them, because if they don't go perfectly, as this professor demonstrates, it becomes very awkward.
Someone on AskReddit asked for teachers to share the worst examples of "my child can do no wrong" that they've encountered in the classroom. The entitlement flowing through these parents is obnoxiously strong. These teachers must've had a truly saint-like level of patience to deal with these kinds of parents.
Everyone knows you don't just copy and paste from Wikipedia! You've gotta change some of those sentences around and throw in some synonyms to throw em off your trail. Students have always been pretty stupid. Are they getting dumber? Who knows. Maybe these days we just have much better ways of documenting the stupid. For more, here are teachers sharing the dumbest essays turned in by students.
Ex-Kindergarten teacher Jessica Gentry's powerful post about quitting her job after 12 years of hard work went viral for a good reason. There's a great message in the post. Sounds like the kids haven't changed, it's the damn parents. At least that's the point she hammers down on off the bat. Check the rest of her message below.

Apparently this arrest occurred at a Vermillion Parish School board meeting after a teacher asked the school's superintendent why she got a raise, while the rest of the teachers never got raises.
