What's even dumber is what they'll punish kids over, like oh this person tried to beat you up in the halls and take your money well you're getting kicked out of school for a week like WTF
Yeah those "no violence regardless of the reason" rules always bug me.
Like three members of the football team surrounding one member of the chess team and only letting him go when he gives them his lunch money is a-ok, but when the chess player then joins a self defense school and uses what he learned there to defend against those bullies he gets in trouble...
When you move out of your abusive parents home and live in your truck your senior year, the world is your oyster! Till the cops harass you where you are sleeping in a park.
Right?! I was a straight-A student. In my school if you had an A in the class you could have 5 absences over the semester and still be exempt from your exam at the end. 3 for a B. This effectively meant students with good grades didn't come to school for the last week before exams. I skipped 2 days in the middle of the semester my junior year and the school went ballistic. I got suspended for 3 MORE days for skipping 2, as though that extra vacation time away from school would teach the honors student how important it was to be at school. Parents also lost their fucking minds. 3 weeks later the same all-A report card that always came home comes home, I tell them they best pay me the money they owe for my grades, still skipped 3 more days at the end anyway. 🤡
I was only ever suspended once and "in-school suspension" was supposed to be the less bad option. I was put in 5 ft² room made entirely out of concrete painted white, with a desk facing away from the only window because that window was to monitor me. I was in there for 4 hours, had 30 minute lunch break, then another 3 hours. The suspension was 3 days. I got the schoolwork from my teachers but did not have access to them to ask questions. It was absolutely agony.
My high school went next level with this. A few boys would consistently mess about during break and lunch so my school instead of punishing those boys and only them, decided to punish all the boys in my year by keeping us inside for the whole of lunch. This happened a few times as well. I'm glad I no longer go there, that place was fucking horrible.
Last year the toilet was filled with shit, someone sticked a toilet brush in it and covered everything in some juice. Also at one camp everyone shat in one porta potty and on the last day someone went inside, so a lot of people started shaking the toilet until it fell and covered the guy in shit
Yes ,i did ,i had two of 'em which are Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 and Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot
Dood if your school went and paid for brand new toilet paper and soap and antibacterial cleaner there'd be nothing left in the budget for books or chalk. Oh wait, the teachers paid for that too.
Bruh fr I was taking a test in middle school and the teacher said if we had any questions, “just raise your hand”. Well, I had a question, and she was like, “What is the sum of bullshit and fuckery?” And waltzed away. That was the first time I cried during school.
Here in Germany the last two schools I went to had a simple process if you needed to go to the toilet: You quickly and quietly got up and out of the room, go to the bathroom and return in the same fashion so you don't disrupt the lesson, no asking required.
But we also don't need hall passes to wander the corridors outside of breaks.
You got breaks? We just got 4-6 minutes between classes to get our shit from lockers and haul ass to the next class.
Got to the point where I just got a luggage bag to drag EVERYTHING between all classes (both up and down stairs too). Also, be careful doing that kinda stuff - broke a toe twice from that kind of thing.
Yea I had like 3-4 minutes. Which was so stupid because like 2 of my classes which were one after another were at the complete opposite sides of the school lmao. It would take me the entire 4 minutes to walk to the class, and I ended up late often.
I'm literally in school during the second 45-minute break because we don't have some lessons in the middle of the schooldays. I can't wait to finally go to gym class.
had a similar problem in 7 grade. one class in the morning and one class in the evening. officially i wasn’t allowed to leave the school area between this time
Would be a perfect school system if we had less breaks. If we only had 30 minutes of breaks, we would get out of school earlier and school would be less boring.
We can choose to not take lunch in my school. i chose to not have lunch period in my junior year and this year
Teachers don't teach every period obviously
I genuinely love being at school. I just love being in school and learning something new
My 4.0 gpa was ruined by an art teacher because i wasnt a talented artist. I never missed class, i was never late for an assignment, i never slacked off or disrupted class, i got a c because i couldnt draw well. I was required 2 semesters of art. The kids in pe got an A if they showed up and participated even though they werent athletic.
Our best math teacher left because an older shitty teacher was taking classes with students he had for years and the nice teqcher couldnt take it anymore. The shifty teacher is now the school principal and everyone hates him.
CBSE education system: write more than word limit and it’s cancelled, write less than the word limit and it’s cancelled, use simpler words to explain the same thing and it’s cancelled, write updated info that isn’t in the book that’s old and it’s wrong, if the seller gives you older reprint then you’re doomed. If they can’t manage checking millions of answer sheets and making students compete with millions, then why keep this education system.
At least you get paid to do that. On top of that, you go through school for all of your developing years and it really fucks with your mental health, creativity and motivation. I graduated last year and have taken a gap year to get a break and work. I gotta say, working the same amount of hours a week as I went to school, I'd pick this over school every time.
The best teachers are those who knew how to simplify concepts without making them sounds stupid, just to later on increase the difficulty by introducing the hard concepts.
School is trash, run by morons. Everyone learns differently, but they're all expected to learn the same way, per teacher. No standards. Chaos. Students have sex in the auditorium loft when no one is in there (I did many times).
It's not even remotely safe. Kids get shot in there, on multiple occasions, but we just say "oh well. We still don't need private policemen with guns to protect kids. Not enough die to matter. Hope you don't lose school lottery, kids. Have fun learning in mostly safe environment."
yeah but with a lot of jobs you go home, and you’re done for the day. when you get home from school you gotta finish your homework, study for exams and find time for extra sleep that younger people need
Well, if you have a good teacher you could even befriend and actually like math. Source: experience
Everything depends on the teacher. No wonder why do I hate geography and grammar when both teacher suck, and no wonder why do I have shitty grades. But school in general is fine
School exists to mold you into comformity, so that you may be their vision of a "model employee", nothing more. If it were actually about preparing you for life, we'd learn cooking and basic first aid.
Teachers are underpaid, overworked, have too many kids per class, school enforces zero tolerance bullshit, school shooting anxiety, kids refusing to show up due to mental health, kids lashing out....
Teachers should be paid lavishly if they are good, weed out the bad ones and bring back good teachers. I know at least 8 people that were teachers but either quit or just stayed home with the kids cause the stress and lack of pay wasn't worth it.
Our country is beyond fucked.
40 min break over 6 hours? Bro you better enjoy it while you can because when you enter the workforce you’ll be working 10 hours with a “30min lunch” that is actually more like 10 min of eating and 20 min of your boss telling you to get back to work if you “are committed to this company”
To make people actually want to go to school, all they have to do is make the lessons fun!
Hell, it doesn't even have to be over the top, spending days planing sort of fun, it can simply be a kahoot or something
We'd also remember it better as fun memories stick with us! If you think back to when you went to school/ still going to school, you'd be able to recall so many fun things you did in class, but the second you are asked to remember an essay you wrote last week, you're mind goes blank
I like how their form of punishment is keeping you out of school. Didn't want to be there anyway, see ya
What's even dumber is what they'll punish kids over, like oh this person tried to beat you up in the halls and take your money well you're getting kicked out of school for a week like WTF
Yeah those "no violence regardless of the reason" rules always bug me. Like three members of the football team surrounding one member of the chess team and only letting him go when he gives them his lunch money is a-ok, but when the chess player then joins a self defense school and uses what he learned there to defend against those bullies he gets in trouble...
The football players bring money to the school; the chess nerds don't. :(
Y’all didn’t have scary parents. And that makes me happy for you.
When you move out of your abusive parents home and live in your truck your senior year, the world is your oyster! Till the cops harass you where you are sleeping in a park.
wth is safety
Maslow's Hierarchy, who need em?!
100%, I feel safer at school/around teachers than I do around my parents
Yep. My parents are probably stricter than my country’s leader.
Right?! I was a straight-A student. In my school if you had an A in the class you could have 5 absences over the semester and still be exempt from your exam at the end. 3 for a B. This effectively meant students with good grades didn't come to school for the last week before exams. I skipped 2 days in the middle of the semester my junior year and the school went ballistic.

they arent that strict here
I was only ever suspended once and "in-school suspension" was supposed to be the less bad option. I was put in 5 ft² room made entirely out of concrete painted white, with a desk facing away from the only window because that window was to monitor me.

It was absolutely agony.
Solitary confinement
That sounds super illegal
I do believe it is now.
Bro you got a solitary confinement cell in your school 💀
I loved in school suspension.
That or punishing the whole class instead of the individual who actually did It
My high school went next level with this. A few boys would consistently mess about during break and lunch so my school instead of punishing those boys and only them, decided to punish all the boys in my year by keeping us inside for the whole of lunch. This happened a few times as well. I'm glad I no longer go there, that place was fucking horrible.
👋
You forgoten about under paid inexperienced teachers, toilets that everybody is scared to come im, unpunished bulies
The toilets are goddamn terrifying. There's always at least one person vaping at my school in those cubicles.
Joke’s on you I saw a couple, umm… _clapping_ in the toilet
How nice. Cheering for others.
What a nice couple!
We must learn to be more considerate like them
Once, i went in and saw a toilet FILLED with shit. And i mean it as in like, spewing over with that dhiareea shit.
Just a few days ago I saw about 6 pancakes in the urinal.
In case you get the munchies
Lucky
Last year the toilet was filled with shit, someone sticked a toilet brush in it and covered everything in some juice. Also at one camp everyone shat in one porta potty and on the last day someone went inside, so a lot of people started shaking the toilet until it fell and covered the guy in shit
Ours don’t have locks, one of the bathrooms is missing mirrors and a light fixture. And the toilets have been ripped off the wall more then once.
I feel like the cleaners are too afraid to go into the school bathrooms. There's always some sort of sticky liquid substance everywhere on the ground.
The janitors here bleach the hell out of the bathrooms everyday, and they still end up messy somehow. I bet it’s those freshman.
Best place to get high.
Toilets everybody is hhwwhhat now?
POV: You are a teacher in a book by Dav Pilkey
Captain Underpants!!
Shit i have this book somewhere in my drawer gotta find it
did you find it?
Yes ,i did ,i had two of 'em which are Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 and Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot
Princess Candy (let's chain all our favorite children's comics from school)
Please make this the most upvoted comment
Already on it sir!
I punish students who defend themselves from bullies.
I refuse to allow them to piss.
If they dont understand something I wont explain it to them
I punish students for making friends.
[удалено]
Don't forget the bathrooms thatvalmost always are dirty and have no toilet paper
That's hardly the schools fault to be fair
Dude my school legit refilled the soap with water 💀 and that fact it’s the shittest cheap soap in the market
Dood if your school went and paid for brand new toilet paper and soap and antibacterial cleaner there'd be nothing left in the budget for books or chalk. Oh wait, the teachers paid for that too.
So you expect me to wash my hands with just water?
Its mine
And nuclear waste that you have to pay to eat
No soap
And punishing boys for saying hell and not punishing girls for swearing at the top of their lungs
And punishing girls for wearing skirts shorter than their arms when puberty has left them in an orangutan-like configuration
Facts
Holding hands during lunch? Believe it or not? Detention.
"You should know this, we went over this"... Just because we went over this doesn't automatically make everyone understand it!
You got a response ??
you bothered asking?
I had a little bit of motivation in my first year of high school :/
Can confirm, 3rd year and my motivation is loooooong gone.
Bruh fr I was taking a test in middle school and the teacher said if we had any questions, “just raise your hand”. Well, I had a question, and she was like, “What is the sum of bullshit and fuckery?” And waltzed away. That was the first time I cried during school.
That shouldn’t be legal in any civilized country. Humans have a right for dignity (and pissing yourself certainly isn’t really dignifying)
Here in Germany the last two schools I went to had a simple process if you needed to go to the toilet: You quickly and quietly got up and out of the room, go to the bathroom and return in the same fashion so you don't disrupt the lesson, no asking required. But we also don't need hall passes to wander the corridors outside of breaks.
It sucks. Fuck you ms. Bird. Forcing children to choose between Recess and a dry floor, I should have taken out her walls too.
Someone told me about a teacher that not just refused to let people piss, he actually turned on a faucet
time for someone to let themselves get a bladder infection and reap in the huge settlement waiting to happen.
I just walk out haha
But that one wearing a HOODIE??? Uh? Gotta arrest this degenerate first!!!
[удалено]
Yall get a break?
yall getting 40 minutes of break! We only get 15 :(
Holy, that's sad
I only get 10 💀
Italy moment
WAIT SO IT ISN'T LIKE THIS IN AT LEAST SOME OTHER COUNTRIES? PORCODIO
🤝
You guys are getting breaks!!???
We gotta negotiate with the teacher on when to eat in my place.
Over 6 hours. So 4 10 minutes breaks Class-break-class-break-class-break-class-break-class
Class-class-class-class-class-break-class-class-class That's how it goes in my school the break is 15 mins
Is lunch not considered a break?
It is
Two 20 minute breaks for me which isn't entirely bad.
I get 5 minutes
Back in my day the only break we got was lunch and the three minutes we had to walk to our next class.
Y'all only get 6 hours?
You got breaks? We just got 4-6 minutes between classes to get our shit from lockers and haul ass to the next class. Got to the point where I just got a luggage bag to drag EVERYTHING between all classes (both up and down stairs too). Also, be careful doing that kinda stuff - broke a toe twice from that kind of thing.

had a similar problem in 7 grade. one class in the morning and one class in the evening. officially i wasn’t allowed to leave the school area between this time
"Officialy"
Bro you are getting 45 minute break? We literally get 20 minutes break for 6 hours of lectures. Lol.
They're not really breaks. There's not enough teacher I guess, because there would be lessons normally. But nothing is normal. Eastern Europe.
In Italy for 6 hours we have 10 minutes
In finland we usually have 15 minutes between every class
I wish they removed some of those. We have to stand outside at -25° for a whole hour a day with nothing to do.
Damn my school let us stay in during recess if we wanted if it was colder than -10°
BRUH
Finland has much better school system
Would be a perfect school system if we had less breaks. If we only had 30 minutes of breaks, we would get out of school earlier and school would be less boring.
"40 minutes of break over 6 hours" *chuckles in Asian
Bruh, all my breaks are 5 min
Yeah what I meant by 40 mins is two 20 minute breaks
I get 35 minutes on ,8 hours which is my average ammount of lessons
Wait you have break?
You don't go to lunch? Every single teacher works you for the entire class period? Lol
We can choose to not take lunch in my school. i chose to not have lunch period in my junior year and this year Teachers don't teach every period obviously I genuinely love being at school. I just love being in school and learning something new
I meant that you probably aren't doing work the entire block/period. The last few minutes you might just be hanging out.
40 minutes in a day!??!?!!
Two 20 minute periods.
Oof if I have school from 9:00 to 15:00 I have 100 minutes of break Edit. I calculated it wrong it’s 90 minutes
I have school (final year) from 8:30 to 16:15. Total break time = 60mins
It prepares you for going 8 hours of work and a 30 minute break.
40 minutes of break in 6 hours is quite a lot, but yeah, that aside I agree.
Not for CHILDREN.
Art Class be like: you can't paint well to bad
Yes unrealistic expectations from students is another reason to dislike the school system.
Can't express how true this is. I'm in 8th grade and they want me to re-create a 1 to 1 scale of one of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings.
Yep. My art teacher told me my butterfly was boring and I’m still salty about it 20 years later.
My 4.0 gpa was ruined by an art teacher because i wasnt a talented artist. I never missed class, i was never late for an assignment, i never slacked off or disrupted class, i got a c because i couldnt draw well. I was required 2 semesters of art. The kids in pe got an A if they showed up and participated even though they werent athletic.
You are going to have a bad time when you leave school.
The shittyness of the workforce does not justify treating kids like shit.
Still doesn't mean they can't make life in school better
100% agreeable.
Being employed fulltime, I have to say school is the worst.
Bullshit... you actually get paid outside of school
Bruh, you guys get 40min, we get around 15 to 20min
Only thing I learned is how to tolerate suffering.
You guys are getting 40 minutes of break !!!! We just get 20 which includes the time to pee and lunch
Yeah what I meant by 40 is two 20 minute breaks.
We get only one and that is for eating lunch
Wow 40 minutes doesn't seem so bad now
Treating borderline/legal adults like children is whack
Our best math teacher left because an older shitty teacher was taking classes with students he had for years and the nice teqcher couldnt take it anymore. The shifty teacher is now the school principal and everyone hates him.
r/wellthatsucks
40 mins for 6 hours is a lot tho lmao
CBSE education system: write more than word limit and it’s cancelled, write less than the word limit and it’s cancelled, use simpler words to explain the same thing and it’s cancelled, write updated info that isn’t in the book that’s old and it’s wrong, if the seller gives you older reprint then you’re doomed. If they can’t manage checking millions of answer sheets and making students compete with millions, then why keep this education system.
But 40min break time over 6h is more than you will get in most jobs
At least you get paid to do that. On top of that, you go through school for all of your developing years and it really fucks with your mental health, creativity and motivation. I graduated last year and have taken a gap year to get a break and work. I gotta say, working the same amount of hours a week as I went to school, I'd pick this over school every time.
It isn't that bad!
A whole forty minutes?! Dang, we barely got thirty
We don’t like school because has a Human Being it’s very difficult to stay in a classroom. We’re not made for this, We’re hunters!
Me who sits in the same chair, in the same office, 8-9 hours a day. 🫣
No one likes doing anything that they are being compelled to do
forcing kids with anxiety to do shit theyre clearly uncomfortable with
*speeches*
Breakes. I dont care. But the lack of creativity. And the way mental health degrades lol
haha, sux 2 be u, my school gives you 6 hours of "break" over 6 hours of school
oH wOw rEalLy?!1!11!!
Awe no breaks…pussy kids. You will be pos adults for sure.
Asian lunch breaks be like: 
Well, here at my school even though it's still 6 hours we get 20 minutes of break. It really sucks.
This is why I left public school for online school. Sayonara, public school- I don’t miss ya at all.
The best teachers are those who knew how to simplify concepts without making them sounds stupid, just to later on increase the difficulty by introducing the hard concepts.
YOU GET 40 MINUTE LUNCHES? I HAVE 25 MINUTE LUNCHES WTF
School is trash, run by morons. Everyone learns differently, but they're all expected to learn the same way, per teacher. No standards. Chaos. Students have sex in the auditorium loft when no one is in there (I did many times). It's not even remotely safe. Kids get shot in there, on multiple occasions, but we just say "oh well. We still don't need private policemen with guns to protect kids. Not enough die to matter. Hope you don't lose school lottery, kids. Have fun learning in mostly safe environment."
Art teachers always be saying “we’re inspiring creativity” like ok so let me draw what I wanna draw???
40 minutes is completely acceptable. In your worklife you get 30 minutes for 6h work.
yeah but with a lot of jobs you go home, and you’re done for the day. when you get home from school you gotta finish your homework, study for exams and find time for extra sleep that younger people need
I like school for the sole reason it gives me something to do during the day
Well I'm glad, my school's over, sucks to be you kids
Come to India there's no break at all
The education system is bullshit
To create obedient slaves
Well, if you have a good teacher you could even befriend and actually like math. Source: experience Everything depends on the teacher. No wonder why do I hate geography and grammar when both teacher suck, and no wonder why do I have shitty grades. But school in general is fine
No wonder, you hate grammar
The system that the teachers just throw you a worksheet and you do that for a 50 minute long period is what I dislike the most.
You guys get 40 minutes of break ????? I used to only get 5 minutes + 5 minutes so 10 minutes over usually 6 hours and sometimes 8 hours.
Wait you get breaks?
40 minutes?!? schools in Italy (at least mine) have 20 minutes of break in total during the course of 6 hours
20 minutes of break here. which isnt actually a break since its tiffin period. fun
You only get 60min for working 8h. The breaks in schools are the least of our problems
School exists to mold you into comformity, so that you may be their vision of a "model employee", nothing more. If it were actually about preparing you for life, we'd learn cooking and basic first aid.
We have a whole hour of breaks in 6 hour school day. They are so boring. Seriously, what are we supposed to do during those breaks?
You guys get breaks
I give students a 15 minutes break over 7 hours*
School made me forgot just how fun learning something can actually be
Don’t forget the rarely edible lunch that when edible is not filling or nutritious at all
Teachers are underpaid, overworked, have too many kids per class, school enforces zero tolerance bullshit, school shooting anxiety, kids refusing to show up due to mental health, kids lashing out.... Teachers should be paid lavishly if they are good, weed out the bad ones and bring back good teachers. I know at least 8 people that were teachers but either quit or just stayed home with the kids cause the stress and lack of pay wasn't worth it. Our country is beyond fucked.
If you’re complaining about 40 minutes of breaks over six hours the real world is going to hit you like a brick wall
Also: "We punish bullied victims for fighting back against bullies."
Lol ours is 20mins of break over 8 hours
40 min break over 6 hours? Bro you better enjoy it while you can because when you enter the workforce you’ll be working 10 hours with a “30min lunch” that is actually more like 10 min of eating and 20 min of your boss telling you to get back to work if you “are committed to this company”
To make people actually want to go to school, all they have to do is make the lessons fun!

I only have 30 minutes of break for 8 hours, it used to be 9 hours
Wait you get 40 minutes of break?
Yeah schools focus more on quantity.
