teacher

People often think that it's the kids who are the most frustrating part of a teacher's job. The fact is, true headaches can come from a disengaged or spiteful parent. Throw on some anger, caginess and a false sense of superiority and you've got yourself a real winner of a parent-teacher conference. For some more teacher headaches, here are some times teachers noticed parents obviously did their kids work.

Apparently a fair number of kids have a hard time believing that teachers are real people. Many of us have had those experiences where we came across our teachers out in the wild, far removed from the classroom, and were genuinely puzzled at how the teachers were outside the classroom. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about how dwarves' beards are too smart for their own good.

Sometimes teachers misjudge their students, like this teacher who underestimated their students during a social experiment. Other times, the powers that be can be mistaken and disrespectful, like this staff who made a student wait to report a fire. In this case, it was an art teacher who was soundly put in their place after handing down some harsh criticism. Art is subjective, anyway.

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. 

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.
