'Kate never did show up': College professor finds absentee student who insists she's showing up to class

'Kate never did show up': College professor faces off with absentee student who insists she's showing up to class

We've all had that dream where we're wandering around school, trying to find a classroom . In the dream, maybe you're in your old middle school or your college campus , carrying your backpack. As you wander the halls, they all look the same and they stretch for miles. Maybe you enter a room, but it's not the right one! In this nightmare scenario, you're late for a test and cannot possibly find it. Then, you wake up in a cold sweat, thankful to know it's just a dream. Well, not this person! I gu…

'Wait your turn': Karen demands random student help her with her shopping, teacher puts Karen in her place

'Wait your turn': Karen accosts ex-employee and demands they help her with her shopping, teacher puts Karen in her place

It's often said that we should seek to better the world by helping those around us, but what if those people needing help are demanding help and being incredibly rude about it? Better to let the world burn if that's how it's going to be. There's no shortage of entitled people who have a 6th sense for the goodwill of others and look to latch onto that goodwill-doer like a leech and absorb all of the goodwill that is to be had. This student was helping a retired teacher from their school when the…

'The games WORKED': Kid circumvents school firewall to play flash games by learning to develop websites

The best lessons in life often can't be planned for and sometimes are born from the mistakes of authority figures and the limitations they place on you. These limitations can create situations that require creative solutions to overcome them, sparking inspiration that can lead to new pathways and ideas. This guy shared the story of his days at school, being trapped there without any access to the delightful flash games of the early 00s thanks to the school's overbearing firewall. As idle minds…

20 Teacher Mishaps and Pranks

If this doesn’t serve as proof that teachers should be paid more, I don’t know what else could. These teachers not only did their jobs, but they brought a sense of humor that clearly made going to school genuinely enjoyable for them and for their students. From clever extra credit assignments to Pi-day mustaches to Yearbook pranks and Halloween costumes (stay tuned for the Despicable Me -inspired look), these teachers deserve a round of applause for their commitment alone. Sure, we all had a fe…

'To this day, I still have no idea why the teacher treated me this way': Cunning teen claims to get teacher fired with her own words

Think of your worst teacher ever, and imagine the satisfaction of getting them fired. Well, this kid lived out everyone's dream, as he shared in a popular post that garnered plenty of praise for him and condemnation for his teacher. He basically had a teacher who would constantly put him down, including with some horrific insults that are just straight-up bullying. So he decided to get back at her using her own words, and it turned into an absolute s***show for the teacher , Ms. Frank. Check ou…

20+ Funny Exam Fails From Students Who Clearly Didn't Study

We've all had those moments as students when we sit in front of an exam and have absolutely no idea how we're going to get through this one. You're staring at the page, thinking about the fact that you didn't study and all the hours of procrastination from last night. But there's nothing you can do about it at this point. Sometimes, you just have to lean into the fact that you're not going to do well on this, so why bother pretending that you know what you're talking about? These students deser…

'I was excited for the challenge': Professor receives schedule change, but two coworkers claim the professor 'shouldn't be teaching...those classes'

Who knew college professors could be so petty? One professor ended up in a malicious compliance situation after their coworkers tattled on them! Every professor has a different style of teaching. Some have been around for decades, and teach the same lesson plan every semester without fail. Others are newer to the job, and with many years of teaching ahead of them. At this college, in a story told by r/HeWhoMustNotBeNamed, a tenured teacher and a new teacher teamed up to blast the OP. It seems q…

‘Whose notes are these?’: Student finds loophole in professor’s open-note exam policy, shares notes with the whole class

Some professors are brilliant, some are generous, and others are egomaniacs. In this instance, we have a situation where the lattermost type was ruling over the classroom. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let’s just say that if you’ve ever had this type of professor in your lifetime, then you will understand this student’s vindication all too well. We’re talking about that professor who refuses to stick to the course material and spends all of class time bragging…

'My teacher has falsely accused me of using ChatGPT': High-school student escalates accusations to department head

Artificial intelligence is growing larger and more powerful with every passing day, impacting all types of jobs. One of the most vocal majority about the dangers of AI have been teachers. Artificial intelligence like ChatGPT makes it possible to write entire school papers in a matter of seconds. Instead of going to class, taking notes, researching, writing, revising, editing, and submitting a paper, students can now produce a meticulously written paper on any subject with a few button clicks.

'Oh I’m not allowed to clean up early? Have it your way': University TA schools professor over unreasonable demand

Sometimes the student becomes the teacher—and sometimes, the student-teacher becomes the teacher of the teacher-student. Funny how life works like that, isn't it? The moral here is that you shouldn't ever assume that you know everything just because you're in charge; in fact, you'd do best to assume the opposite… A great leader is constantly learning themselves—after all, everyone has something to teach you—and identifying and utilizing other people's strengths is how you build a successful tea…

'I WILL do your project': Worst project partner ever tries to get student to do the whole thing, she does but ensures he fails

It's no secret that we hate group projects; they bring out the absolute worst in people. But I'd also argue that group projects are one of the few things schools assign that prepares you for the challenges you'll face for the rest of your life. Group projects are important for teaching the challenges of communicating with entitled individuals, doing your peer's work for them, being graded on others' lack of participation, and having others take credit for your work. All of which you'll repeated…
