Pictures That Remind You Just How Chaotic The Classroom Can Get
Remember school? I mean, I have actively tried to forget everything from my formative years in that concrete cellblock they called a classroom. However, every once in a while, something will remind me of just how weird and bizarre some of the things were that happened there.
These photos are bound to refresh your memory of how chaotic the classroom really was.
Classic Confiscated Watermelon
In school, teachers would confiscate some things from students that definitely made sense—a Nintendo DS, a sharp object—and then there was the wide variety of things that didn't make any sense to be taken away, if only because it didn't make sense for the kid to have it in the first place.
Where Do You Even Get That Much Nacho Cheese?
I've only seen nacho cheese (although I would hesitate to call it "cheese") come in the little containers they give you at baseball concession stands or in the small jars at the store. Where did he get this whole bag, and why would he bring it to school?
Happy Knees :)
I don't know what would compel a person to draw a smiley face on each knee, but I have to admire this person's choice to just go for it and have happy kneecaps.
I Got A Headache While Reading This
Some teachers in school were great and clearly committed to making things as clear to students as possible. Other teachers would go out of their way to make things as unreasonably confusing as possible.
This Was Every Group Project I Did
There were two types of group project members I had: the ones who didn't even try to help and the ones who "helped" but were so useless that I redid their parts myself.
It Is His Child!
When the days of class drag on, it's hard to keep yourself interested or entertained each day. Sometimes you need a little something else to occupy your thoughts, no matter how stupid it is.
Your Dentist Definitely Did Not Say That
One of the things I miss the most about school was the absolute confidence with which an idiot would say something horrendously untrue with their whole chest. It was so unnecessary.
Start Your Day Off Right
You know what? I'm going to commend this young man for not only making sure he starts his day with a hearty meal, but also for making sure he eats his veggies.
Yeah, Let's Get This Bread
I'm curious: what was the original assignment, and did this student follow the guidelines at all, or did he just set up his PowerPoint and go rogue on the teacher?
Trying To Figure Out Which Document Is The One You Need To Print
Personally, all of my documents were named things like, "I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing in this paper" and "I hate this assignment with my whole heart I'm dropping out."
College, Am I Right?
In high school, teachers love to tell you that the things you do in high school will not be acceptable in college. In reality, college classes are even more chaotic.
Can't Let His iPhone Die
I swear that every school classroom only had a grand total of two poorly placed electrical outlets. Charging your phone meant you had to run the risk of tripping your friends.
Anything Can Be A Mousepad If You Believe In Yourself
In all of my years in school, I never saw a student with a laptop who also had a mouse. Why this student would bring one to a lecture is beyond me.
Stephan Is Such A Well-Behaved Boy
Pet rocks were one of the most bizarre crazes of the 1970s (and that's saying something because it was the same era as bellbottoms), but it's cool to see that they're making a comeback.
Gee, Why Didn't They Just Think Of That?
Wow, I can't believe that every single medical professional in the history of health care was stupid enough not to think about just setting an alarm clock next to the person in the coma!
It's An Important Modern Topic
Imagine having a time traveller from the 1800s come to the modern day and trying to explain to them what a "catfish" was and how it was such a prevalent phenomenon in society.
He's Trying To Put Convenience Stores Out Of Business
I think the funniest thing about this is that this kid really ran with the idea: I mean, making a website and printing custom business cards is a lot of commitment.
Sprite Is Pretty Refreshing
Here's the correct ranking for the best ways to consume Sprite and it is: 1) from a McDonald's cup; 2) from the bottle; 3) from the can. "Shot glass" is probably #198.
Necessity Breeds Innovation
There is no one on this Earth who is more motivated and inventive than a kid who is trying to play games while in the middle of computer lab time.
I Would Fight This Kid
I don't know—there's something deeply disturbing about a person wearing a ski mask in any situation that isn't going down a ski slope. It just does not sit right with my spirit.
Some Of The Methods Were Questionable At Best
Are you ever just going through your day when suddenly a repressed memory of something deeply problematic from your childhood resurfaces and you stop and think, "Wow, how was that allowed?"
Good For His Dad
You know what? I don't care that it's not particularly professional to add this information to a PowerPoint presentation. I am glad that I know this guy's dad cooks a great stroganoff using oregano.
Why, Though?
Maybe trying to bring a drone to play around at recess or during lunch period would make sense, but you are you going to roll up to geometry class with a whole drone?
The Struggle Was Real
We've all had those moments in life where we've struggled to try and make a paper reach the page length requirement without actually, you know, writing more information into the paper.
Safety First!
It wasn't enough for schools to just tell us to be safe while working in the lab; they had to put up these weird, corny posters in the science classroom.
...And Some Of Them Were So Questionable
I would like to get in contact with the person behind the creation of this school-sanctioned poster and ask them what exactly is wrong with them before referring them to a therapist.
Hola!
While there were those teachers who clearly came to school to do the bare minimum, there were also the ones who were so passionate about the job that they'd do stuff like this, and I'm thankful for them.
I Wonder How Duncan Reacted
It's disorienting to wake up from a nap only to find out that everyone else has left; can you imagine how much worse it would be to wake up to an apocalyptic note?
All These Classmates Were Fake!
Kids would be mean to you, roast you, and call you names behind your back on the playground, but the second you opened a bag of chips or a pack of gum, you were the most popular one in the room.
Don't Worry: The Shenanigans Are Continuing On Zoom
School might be dominantly online for some people right now, but students still find ways to act up, proving that you can take the kid out of the classroom, but you cannot take the classroom out of the kid.
