Kids…

Today, at my job as a teacher, I saw a student cut another student's hair, I stopped a group of students from eating glue, and I had to tell a student to put away the toy cars he was playing with. I teach high school math. FML

I really sympathize with our public school's teachers. They have to deal with so much crap that isn't in their job description but they stick it out and do it with a smile (most of the time) because they are not just teaching students math or science or English, but how to not be stupid little *****.

This is also a story on a site devoted to shitty events. It comes with the mother-of-all sampling biases; nobody looks good in these stories.

Your students sound like a casting call for "Arrested Development"... FYL indeed.

well it is HIGH school, as op put it. Maybe to their marijuana minds they're doing experiments and equations. Take the guy with the toy car. Maybe he thinks he's doing a velocity equation.

In general... The reason is always "why not." I once spent a month confiscating marbles from 7-year-old kids because they didn't seem to understand that marbles + floor + teacher with broken foot on crutches = death. Also... When I was in high school... Plenty of people carried around knitting. It was a huge trend. they had meetings about it where the teachers tried to ban it and the kids argued it was good for concentration. You'd literally have people doing crochet under the desks during lecture. It was hilarious. Lesson learned: Just go with it.

Probably the same reason a classmate of mine carried a doorknob in his pocket. ... I never figured that one out, either.

My freshman year I had a friend who would always bring silly putty and a small toy elephant to school with her.

We age but don't mature. Only difference between elementary and high school is that the teachers care less.

Yep. That's what the end of the school year looks like at a high school.

I absolutely love how when I comment on how a post is funny, I get downvoted. This comment is going to get downvoted too, lol.

Doesn't suprize me, with college kids needing "safe spaces" because they can't handle negative words, high school is like the new kindergarten.

I cry for two reasons: The first is sympathy for you. The second is WTF!? High school!? This generation both fascinates and terrifies me

My English teacher told us that one time a girl was trying to pierce another girl's ear during class. When she told them they can't do that here, they asked if they can go to the bathroom.
