'The participation rate has been zero': Teacher pressured by helicopter parents to provide extra credit, she gets even by giving lengthy assignments involving parental participation

Overbearing parents can make school a miserable existence for teachers and students alike. Thankfully for these overworked kids, their helicopter parents have met their match with their history teacher. This teacher was pressured by the parents to assign more extra credit so their kids could have a greater chance at getting A+ final grades. After receiving enough pressure from the board and the administration, the teacher acquiesced but devised a plan to maliciously comply. She decided to give…

'One student recently pushed me to the limit of my stupidity tolerance': Professor declares this generation at an all-time low after recent conversation, and it’s hard to disagree

Is this generation really the worst? In a now-viral story, a professor shared that while he usually tries to keep an open mind with his students as they're young and have limited life experience—but one particular conversation left him convinced that today's generation has officially hit a new low. But if we're being honest, every generation has its cringey moments. Gen Z may have influencers, but millennials had their MySpace profiles, and Boomers? Well, let's just say we all have our share...

'You are a real pain on Fridays!': 20+ messy teacher moments for the back-to-school season

Back-to-school season is among us, which means that we are officially dealing with the best and worst teachers among us. Look, as the child of a teacher, I have an immense amount of sympathy for most educators. However, in every industry, there are people who are straight-up trash at their jobs. You can find these individuals in business meetings, behind the front desk of a doctor's office, and in our classrooms. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for stopping some people from being bad at t…

'I'll make sure I fail': Nonathletic teenager maliciously complies with school's walking club requirements

This school had a brilliant plan for getting their students involved in sports teams : making it mandatory for every single kid. They probably thought it was an excellent idea. After all, you want kids to be active and moving around throughout the day… almost as if you could make a class for that. For some reason, this school decided that alongside gym class, all kids would have to join a sport . In my high school, maybe a third of the kids were in sports, and everyone else was in other clubs,…

'I chose not to mention that': University professor lets student fail himself after he never attends a single class

Academia doesn't like liars, as one student found out the hard way. Colleges love to talk about how much they value original work: no cheating allowed! It's never been easier for students to lie about their work, letting computers write their papers for them. And a lot of those students get caught too, flunking their classes and sometimes having to drop out over that indiscretion. This student also lied to his professor, but it wasn't about a paper. Instead, this kid had gotten into that bad ha…

Students get terrible teacher fired by doing exactly what he says: 'He was fired later that day...'

It sometimes happens in life that there's a discrepancy between your own abilities and what you imagine them to be. This overestimation can have wildly different repercussions, but sometimes, it just earns you a role in management. See, that unearned confidence seems to translate really well in interviews with people who have no idea that you don't know what you're talking about, meaning that the false bravado can land you a job you were never really cut out for.

Student tricks classmate who keeps stealing his answers, cheater flunks the next test: 'He never copied my tests again'

In every high school, there are a handful of students who not only do the bare minimum when it comes to work, but they're also pretty lame when it comes to cheating. Look, no one is going to outright condone stealing someone's answers on a test, but if you're going to be the fool that does it, at least be less obvious about it. This Redditor figured out that his classmate had been stealing his answers for the past few exams and was starting to worry that his teacher would think that the wrong p…

Teacher gives student late penalty despite submitting his assignment 13 minutes before the deadline: 'I will not be removing the late penalty deduction'

How can students be expected to follow the rules when their teachers refuse to do the same? Learning should be a two-way street, am I right, folks? Here, we have a student who promptly submitted their assignment 13 minutes prior to the deadline, only to discover later on that he was given a late penalty on his final grade. After confronting the professor about what he assumed was an innocent grading mistake, the professor dug his heels into the ground and refused to budge. In fact, he claimed t…

‘I watch[ed] him fail’: Self-centered student attempts to copy classmate's answers during test, she purposely fills out wrong answers, then changes them as soon as he leaves

Being the nerdy kid in school had its pros and cons. It usually meant that you were smart, and did well in school. You actually enjoyed reading books and had no problem doing homework or studying for tests. Yet being the nerdy kid also meant that you weren't all that popular, and we all know how mean kids can get when they see something they don't like. Luckily, popularity in school doesn't really get you that far in life, but being smart and actually succeeding in school does, and this petty r…

Teacher gets back at principal for having to give a speech to the student body, ends up giving a 90-minute diatribe: 'You wanted me to do the speech, deal with it'

Sometimes, the most rebellious folks in a school are the teachers. Here, we have one teacher who managed to successfully avoid a school tradition for over 30 years at the institution. That silly tradition involved a member of the faculty delivering a speech to the entire student body on significant historical dates. During said speech, the students were also forced to stand still in formation and in silence throughout the duration of the oration. This one teacher, whom the Redditor nicknamed Me…
