teacher

Positive teachers that genuinely care about the well being of their students, as well as cultivating in them a legitimate passion for learning, are some of the most cherished human beings on the planet. As can be expected, a fair number of kids resist the idea of school, hitting the books, and keeping up with all that homework. Put the right teacher in front of them that can get them excited about the whole academic process, and you might actually end up with more stories like this wholesome gem from Raifa Rafiq.

It's stories like this that can highlight just how much of a profound impact just a little encouragement can make for anyone that is otherwise just trying to get by. 

These students thought they'd prank their teacher, but the teacher ended up having the last laugh. Ah, yes. Got to love a nice case of a wholesome revenge. Nothing gives a student the fear like a fake test with a bunch of answers there was no way they'd be prepared for answering. 

The powers that be aren't just trying to keep rebellious teens down. Sometimes they target chill teachers too. Sometimes those teachers have to use the rules against the rules, like this teacher who flipped the script on the frustrating administration. And regarding rebellion, here's a Tumblr story about a teacher who underestimated their students in a social experiment.

This revenge story is truly inspirational for all the students out there that have ever suffered at the hands of presumptuous, toxic teachers that they were too afraid to stand up too. Because oh boy, does this student hatch just the kind of revenge plan that took patience and dedication; and ultimately paid off in a big and beautiful way. 

And with that, maybe there's evidence the world won't completely slip into utter chaos. Sure, the strangeness of students can result in some weird and stupid school stories, but that doesn't mean students are necessarily complete animals all the time. Sometimes it can be teachers who say weird and wild junk.

It's not every day that you get to use your boss's rules against them. There's something so wonderfully satisfying about when an unfair employer has to face their own music. Not every organization gets to feel the sting of their own unfairness. This job applicant got to call out a company's dumb interview process.

What is a diabetes pump for but injecting drama into a school? Sure this is technically entrapment, but the trap has been set. Not many students are given the opportunity to make their teacher look like an ass. Here are some wild junk teachers said as well as the story of an overly strict teacher telling a student not to speak.

When you have a strict, or even angry teacher, you never forget about them. If only there was some way to simultaneously follow a strict teacher's rules, while also exposing their tyrannical ways? Well this person figured it out. For a better teacher, here's a Tumblr story about students who worshiped a stuffed octopus.

This quick and entertaining Tumblr post highlights just how silly kids can get in the classroom. Can't blame them for taking a liking to Fweej the Overseer. Dude looks too cool for school. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post about the cold-blooded freak devil cave goat.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the funniest and most ruthless reviews that students ever left for teachers. Students can get real creative with the rare insults when it comes to their final words on a particular teacher. Would expect nothing less. 

Back in school, many of us were tempted to write a goofy fake name or have a bunch of stupid place holding statements in essays like "Dumb evidence goes here god dammit." More times than we'd like to admit, we remembered and deleted them moments before turning in said essay. This time a student actually turned it in, tried to save themselves with an apology, and the professor had a sense of humor about it. It's not too far-fetched, teachers have to deal with dumb essays all the time.

Sounds like Mrs. Smith brought this on herself. She should've just kept it legit. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various stunts that teachers pulled that people are still mad about. Honestly, with some of these it's understandable. Like, the teacher that was clipping his toenails in class. What's that madness about? There's a time and place for everything, prof. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the times that teachers realized kids were gifted. Sometimes the signs are just too obvious to miss. 

Depending on where you went to school and what classes you took, you may have had a project where you had to take care of a sack of flour as if it were a child, or in this case, a robotic doll programmed to cry. Based on how frustrating these things can be, we're not sure if these projects were designed to be a learning experience so much as birth control. It doesn't take simulated parenting to know that kids are weird and dumb, and that toddlers have meltdowns over nothing, but having a robot baby wake up in the middle of the night might be a literal wake-up call for a high school freshman.
