Gym class I was in 3rd grade. My gym teacher asked us to do burpees. I started burping. Mind you she did say what burpees were but because I was absent for awhile. I didn’t know what it was so I just burped 2x every minute. She didn’t stop me.
If I were a teacher, if the kid showed understanding of the topic (even if the assignment wasnt exactly what I wanted), they would get a nice grade. Doesnt matter if it isnt exactly what I wanted, if they understand, they understand. However, I would also try to make songs or rhymes of the class material as it will be remembered better and encourage the kids to do the same. (I do have issues with writing poetry under pressure, so not much would be making them).
You know it’s the best when ur teacher looks over ur shoulder and tells the class to make sure u read the problem before answering (even when u are confident in your answer)
Im the student rather than the teacher, I misinterpreted an assignment about greek mythology. The original instructions were to right down a *concept* for a greek myth, but instead I wrote a full 3 page story about how the 4 seasons came to be, and my teacher was so impressed she gave me an A+
Dang you were the person who made the viral post about the youth in Asia slideshow? Do you still have it sitting on your drive like a trophy? Lmfao I would.
College class - ex military teacher split the class up into teams for a group project with a presentation. A few days before the presentation one of my team members came in and said he thought everything we had done so far was wrong, and we had misunderstood the assignment. He said that the teacher probably meant the instructions to be taken literally, word for word. We had taken the "spirit" of the words and gone a different direction. It took a few minutes of discussion, but then I (who had lived and worked around military all my life) realized that he had written it out step by step as an order, not a suggestion and finally agreed with the team mate, the others then agreed too. We quickly re-did our assignment and presented it to get full marks. We were the only team to get the assignment correct. So glad our teammate realized what was going on and pressed us to change the scope.
In 9th grade, my class did a unit where we studied Romeo and Juliet. As part of the unit, my teacher would assign certain students roles from the play, and at the next class we would dramatically read lines from the scene we were studying. A classmate assigned to read for Lord Capulet had the line ‘Fetch me my long sword! Ho!’ He very aggressively yelled, ‘Fetch me my long sword, hoe!’ (as in wh***). Our entire class lost it and I have never seen a teacher look so disappointed.
Yes, always fun. Mine was 8th grade, class reading Macbeth, and a classmate took his opportunity with the line, "Oh, horror, horror, horror!" And confidently yelled out, "Oh, whore, whore, whore!"
18:45 Smart kids would have used this incident to blackmail the teacher instead of just accept the zeros. I'm sure the principal would have loved to hear how she wasn't actually reading assignments.
This doesn’t make me feel as badly as I did when I misunderstood my wife’s friend telling her dog to “shake”. Growing up with my family, we taught the dog “Gimmie your paw”. I believed her to be asking her dog to shiver.
Lol, I know someone it’s a dog, (malte-poo mix called daisy she super cute and she 10 months I think) her owners taught her to sit and “paw” if you said sit she sat and then you would say “paw” and she would place her paw on your hand
We had to do something similar to the last one. 7-10 sentences about the perfect day. The teacher decided to read EVERY SINGLE ONE out loud. One guy wrote almost 10 pages. 8 pages of this was fully graphic erotica about having sex with his brother's girlfriend, he didn't use her actual name so most of the class didn't realize the girl he was writing about was a girl in our class until she threw a chair at him.,
In 5th grade, our history teacher let us used the books for one test and sayed: if you use them, you can get from 2 to 8. If you don't use them - 9 to 10. I decided to don't use the book, even tho I haven't study at all, because the lowest mark I can get is 9. I got 2...
My aunt was a kindergarten teacher. She did some minor tests and assessments with the kids one on one to evaluate them a few times a year. So she’s sitting with this girl and she’s like “Okay, now give me 4 blocks” “now give me 5” and then the girl high fived her. 🥰
Not to me, but this happened to a grade above me a few years ago. They were having health class, and one if the subjects was safe sex, so they had a class about how to know if you are emotionally ready to have sex, and so the teacher (female) made a presentation and assignment titled "are you ready to have sex?" and uploaded it to google classroom, a platform commonly used in our school. One student (male) missed class, and so he got an email from the system saying "teacher XXX published a new assignment, 'are you ready to have sex?'"
@@Loaves_of_Cat as much as I know there were no major consequences. It was obvious that tbe teacher didn't try to have a sexual relationship with the student, so they just changed the name of the presentation and moved on
I was the student in this case 😓 --- In my language arts class, we were having a classroom debate. At the time, life at home was stressful and I wasn't getting much sleep at night, so that probably played into it 😅 Anyways, me and my partner were on the pro side of an argument, but my teacher told me to research the con side. So, I did what I was told, thinking I was arguing for the con side. When we presented, about 2 minutes into my presentation, my teacher cuts me off. That's when he explained that he wanted me to research the con side in order to think of good counter-arguments; I was still supposed to be on the pro side. I went into the hallway and had an absolute MELTDOWN over that misunderstanding 😭 My teacher understood my confusion and didn't make me present. He just graded me on the research that I did. I passed, even though it was for the wrong side of the argument 😖
My kid's friend did an assignment in such a way that was "well, technically you're right" Their assignment was to make a PowerPoint presentation on a tool used in construction. This kid made a 10-slide presentation on pencils.
I remember reading some reddit story of a teacher giving an assignment where the students wrote to "someone in power" about like issues they had with them, most students wrote about the principal, and then the teacher actually mailed and gave the papers to the intended recipients where lots of kids got in trouble because the principal wasn't happy so many kids didn't like him.. like they legit got detention for "insubordination" or some shit.. and others freaked out because they jokingly wrote some letters to like a local mayor feigning actual issues and shit...
My assignment misunderstandings: Way back in grade school, when we were being taught how to write, I was using lower case "i" in sentences. The teacher noticed I was consistently write lower case except when the "I" started a sentence...& told me the "i" needed to be capitalized! So, I dutifully wrote only capital "I"s.... (She'd meant the pronoun "I", not the letter "i".) In college drawing class, our teacher had us use alternate materials in some class projects, such as construction paper. One day, she gave us a homework assignment to reduce elements in a picture we chose to their basic shapes. Even though other assignments required things like construction paper, I hadn't realized this was an expectation; & turned in something I *drew* with colored markers! Everyone else stayed with colored paper. (To be fair, tho, she never actually specified!) And, my one vocabulary glitch? During my grade schools end-of-year "carnival" held on the playground, a parent asked me if I could direct her to the "laboratory." That's what I heard. Laboratory. And, there weren't any, so, being a shy kid, I just shrugged; & she went looking elsewhere in disgust. The thing is, she just needed to ask about the *bathroom!* I'd have pointed it out without any effort at all. The only words I knew were bathroom & restroom: bathroom at home, & restrooms in public places. I didn't actually learn "lavatory" as a synonym of restroom until I was in highschool... When it all suddenly made sense. (Re: the college art story: this was back in 1980/81, & I really can't recall, any more! Sorry!)
I was the kid in class that asked way too many questions, because I once got a zero on some assignment because I misunderstood, and my anxiety wouldn't let that happen ever again, so I drove teachers crazy. One of my teachers was so bad that the entire class just copied entire paragraphs out of our textbooks for the homework questions, because if you left out any idea then he'd say your answer wasn't complete, and if you paraphrased he'd say your words didn't have the same meaning. He basically had us copying entire pages from the book every night as homework because anything less got marked incorrect. He once said we should try using our heads, but clearly what was in our heads was always wrong to him.
not an assignment, per say, but in 5th grade my teacher told me to go get two students from the art room during lunch. i walked around the entire school before getting to the art room, got the two students, sent them to lunch, and lunch was already over. i was told that i didn't have to walk so far and there was a quicker way to get to them. anyway i apparently have disorders that make it pretty hard to process information and i wish i knew that a lot sooner-
Don't know if it counts as a misinterpretation, but it was a fun misunderstanding anyway. I was at an interpreting school. In our classes we usually had the teachers have a (bilingual) conversation and one student would sit in the middle and interpret. The american teacher was black. This one guy had trouble pronouncing the english "r", he would always pronounce it was "w". The german teacher said at one point in the conversation (in german): "Yes, I think you're right." Student: "Yes, I think you're white." Other teacher looks shocked and replies: "No, I'm not white. I'm definitely not white." This was joked about for years.
My oldest was in reception class, and the teacher asked for him to take a photo to school of him as a baby as they were studying about how families work. I misunderstood the whole thing, and did a ton of research to create an entire family tree. We now have it framed on our wall.
At my high school there was a class about social acceptance and how stereotypes are bad. For their final assignment the teacher set them a verbal presentation and some kid goes up and does his whole presentation on why Asians can't drive. I wasn't there, only heard about it from another student, but apparently the whole class was in hysterics.
this reminds me of something that happened in my 7th grade history class, the teacher wrote a list of things we would need for class next week and one of the things was called ONION SKIN, me and another student were walking out of class trying to figure out what that meant, that person said, "i hope we don't have to eat it", i said "yeah, me too", the next day i asked her what she meant by onion skin, she just gave me this blank stare she talked about copying things out of the history book with it, it took me a while, to figure out what she was talking about, fortunately, i had ben using "onion skin" for a while to draw pictures out of my charlie brown books, all of a sudden I went "OHHH... YOU MEAN TRACING PAPER", she said YES, and from what i could tell, i wasn't the only one who had no idea what she was talking about at first, but was the only one to ask what she meant, this took place over forty five years ago and still remember it like it was yesterday.
A friend had a teacher who didn’t notice for the entire school year that she had the exact same group of students for two classes in a row. The school is right near a town and one day during the first period, the class went for ice cream. During the second period, the students said they’d heard that she took her last class for ice cream and convinced her it was only fair to take them too.
Sophomore year English - to prepare for Romeo and Juliet, we had a list of activities we could do for a project, one of which included recreating a recipe from the 1600s. One girl did this and made a sort of meat pie thing. Only thing is, the recipe called for 1/2 tsp of allspice. So naturally, instead of Googling it or something, she took out every single spice from her mom’s cabinet and added a 1/2 tsp of each to the pie. She was worried she got it wrong because her mom didn’t have all the spices she could think of off the top of her head. For the record, she still got a decent grade because she technically did do the assignment, and the teacher was cool enough to give extra credit to anyone willing to take a bite.
16:30 If I saw that kid and I didn't already know that they were some Weheraboo who was looking for an excuse I'd probably walk up to them and talk about how clever of a choice it was. Because the people with the greatest impact generally end up being mixed bags, and so it's stupid to turn this event into a celebration when it was never billed as one, and how it was good this person was challenging it
My sister had an embarrassing episode at pre school. She had an accident (bowel control issue) so the teacher had undressed her, washed her and asked her to "stay right here, dont move" and gone to wash her dirty clothes. My sis was in full view of the entire class, naked, but she didnt dare move to a side coz teacher has asked her to "stay right here, dont move" she was very much surprised and confused when teacher,upon return, asked her, " oh you are here, why didnt you move aside?"
This is why you should ask questions. Although, I've been in situations where no matter how many questions I ask, I never properly understand what to do.
As someone in college and asks questions I get you. I have legitimately cried over the lack of explanation. Dropped out of a P classes in junior high because of it.
Spanish class 7th grade, I was already a super fluent speaker in both English and Spanish because I had been going to a dual-immersion school since kinder. We were given a list of words in Spanish that we needed to identify if they were perfect, similar, or false cognates. I was absent the day the assignment was posted but being the good student I was, I still did it like I always would if I was absent. Because I was not there, this led to some confusion on my part. The collum that I was supposed to write the type of cognate in was labeled as "Translation". The teacher provided an example. The word was "Chocolate" but in the translation collum, was written "perfect", because it is spelled the same way in both English and Spanish. Because I was doing the assignment without instruction, I simply thought she was trying to be funny by saying chocolate=perfect, but I'm sure you can imagine my confusion the next day before it clicked. TL;DR Chocolate=perfect, but my teacher got no sense of humor.
So when I was in the 5 grade I thought that Organism and 0rg4sms where the same thing. So, let’s just say that I got into the principals office in the middle of the science fair.
I had a math teacher who said that he didn’t check our homework, and we’d get a good grade as long as we at least turned in one page. (We turned in our assignments as pictures online). He also joked that “he wouldn’t mind if someone submitted a picture of a chair for the rest of the year”. One kid submitted a picture of an actual chair for about two weeks, until the teacher saw him uploading the picture to the site we use to turn in our work. Needless to say, the kid is now failing math class.
The teacher who just gave checkmarks on papers without reading them has nobody to blame but herself. If you're not going to put in the work to grade what the students turn in, you deserve to be fired.
I remember hearing a few years ago, in a programming class in college, students were just turning in a set of programs that someone had coded and made public to the others, knowing that their professor never looked at the programs beyond the fact that they existed, never looked at the code, never tested them, never no nothing. Then one day the teacher was in a car accident, and a substitute took over, and noticed that each program, when tested, didn't work properly--and didn't work properly in exactly the same way. A peek at the code revealed that the code for all these programs with the error was exactly the same. Further investigation revealed that almost all the students had used these pre-written programs throughout the semester. It was decided that all students who used these cheats would flunk the class, and the one who wrote it would be expelled from the college. Then the excrement hit the rotary air circulator. An admin assistant came forwards and confessed *he* was the writer, and he'd done it when _he was himself a student._ Worse for the school, the version of the language bore him out; this set of prewritten programs had been handed in for over 7 years, and the teacher never noticed beyond seeing that they were, indeed, there. The assistant voluntarily quit, the students lost their marks, and the prof was fired.
In middle school I made a native American village from actual photos I found in books of meat racks and other thing's like tooth pick teepees and I made fire places with cat litter and a piece of broken orange crayon and made cooking tripods over some- IT WAS INCREDIBLY DETAILED. I got an A+ on th project. I saved it maby for a train set scene or something. Years later,my younger bro one year behind me,asked me if I remembered that native village I made,then he told me HE took it out and turned in MY PROJECT to th OTHER teacher and also got an A for MY WORK then packed away it wrong and it got wrecked. WHAT A JERK ! I told him he should've got caught for that and wasn't amused by it at all.
In English class, we were assigned to read a story or poem from our textbook from one of three authors: Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Whitman, and write an essay discussing how they compare with Biblical values (Christian school). The teacher gave us an example paper of a completely different author titled something along the lines of “A Biblical analysis of the poetry of Author” The only poem of the three authors we could pick from was Whitman’s, and I was the only one in the class who did Whitman (there might have been one other person but I don’t remember). Hawthorne and Thoreau had short stories, not poems. We turn in our papers, and after grading, the teacher tells us that every single person in the class had titled their paper “A Biblical analysis of the poetry of Hawthorne/Thoreau”. Everyone (except me) had points docked for that, because I was the only one who analyzed an actual poem. The worst offender had added “by firstname lastname” at the end of the title.
When I was in preschool they asked us to bring info about a national strike (paro nacional) that was going on at the moment. And my stupid ass brought a picture of a turkey, because apparently I understood "pavo nacional" (national turkey) 🦃
Totally second hand, but I absolutely have one for this. While in college, my Archaeology teacher told his class about ne student who was asked to write an essay about his thoughts on Euthanasia. the stundent promptly wrote an essay slamming the topic, saying "He was tired of people talking about the youth in Asia, when they should be far more concerned about the youth in England." Killed the class. Mr Charlesworth you rock
In 8th grade, the English teacher gave us the assignment to write a fish story. I told the assignment literally and wrote about the barracuda. If she had said fishy story, I would have understood. I wondered why she gave that assignment when we were studying tall tales.
Student who saw this unfold. In my major's business class, we had to make a poster talking about what specific field of our major we want to work for, with an interview with someone who worked in that industry to act as our "role-model". The rubric specifically mentioned to use minimal design, be detailed but not too wordy, and the poster must be in monochrome colors with minimal images. It should be mentioned that I went to a college that promoted students going above and beyond, so telling us these instructions in our senior year (this was a senior class) is like asking us to regress our creativity. Of course I'm the type who follow rules just because I want to pass. So guess who put up a poster that met all requirements while everyone else's poster was colorful and creative? Wasn't surprised when we got chewed out by the professor for this and was told to redo our posters. Of course, she already seen my poster and knew I was the only one who read the rubric
I have one I almost did. I was supposted to wrote about the cell but I misunderstood and proceeded to write 2 A4 pages about the least amount of organs a human can survive without.....a whole text about how a human can technically survive without limbs, face and less than half organs along with the techniques that could be used to keep the person alive in absence of those organs, what each did and why they are important. A friend corrected me before I send the abomination to my teacher. Thx Y.
My teacher told us to create a character sketch for a character in a story we were reading. I took it literally, as did some other students and drew the character. I got a failing grade and asked the teacher why. She wanted us to describe the character not draw the character.
I hate when teachers expect you to know new things without ever telling you. It's your _job_ to teach us, because we don't know it yet, that's _the reason we're all here._ Hopefully this happened to you before highschool so it didn't hurt your grade.
I fully expect to see myself on one of these threads. I spent six hours straight designing and programming a simple choose your own adventure game… only to realize that 1. I was massively overcomplicating it for myself. 2. I was doing *the wrong goddamn assignment*. I was basically doing the final project instead of one of the planning documents.
10:55 this was the only one that was so fun y I almost couldn't hold in my laughter and had to cover my mouth😂😂😂🤣🤣. My mom is sitting across from me and I would hate to have to explain the reason I'm laughing. Otherwise I would be rolling on the floor by now.
When I was in kindergarten, they were teaching us to write our names on the dotted line at the top of the paper. The day before, we learned to cut the dotted line with scissors. I was late and heard dotted line so I got out my safety scissors (still not sure why they trusted us to carry them in our pencil boxes) and cut on the dotted line. The teacher didn't even say anything to me, until I turned it in.
My teacher was taking us all to the computer lab for an assignment. She said it was a “Dragon Drop”. I got overly-excited, as I love dragons. Everyone knew that so I was purposely overreacting to try to be funny. Eyy? Me and dragons? Teacher just looked at me weird. It was a “Drag And Drop” quiz. I felt like a complete idiot. No one understood I was being ironic so they just thought I was insane over drag and drop quizzes.
“I have made... a terrible mistake” Ok but the amount of embarrassment I would get would send me in my grave early Embarrassment haunts me like a ghost. Something I probably did in 2nd or 1st grade is just in the back of my mind. Like 2-3 years ago I started crying because I remembered getting lost in Disney world and getting lost in a building my brother had a basketball game at. Anything haunts me
Not me but my friend and I have ELA (English) class the same time but different teachers. So we were reading this story about how this women was the “special one” and got stoned to death. My friend (as a joke) thought that she got stoned (as in high). Everyone was cracking up about it lol.
Not a teacher, but when I forgot to do my final assessment, I remember my teacher said “Your CER on steroids is going in the book today, make sure to get it done.” I thought the CER was ABOUT steroids, but it turned out to be a CERERERC

Data science: We were supposed to model the Titanic sinking (factors that lead to survival or death) and the most accurate would get put on a leaderboard. We were presenting to the class, referred to a part in the web assignment where it says "start by assuming everyone died", and I actually said something like "We're at the bottom of the leaderboard, and everybody is dead. Can't get any worse." Until we found out we'd been working from the wrong webpage. Whoops.

It was late 2015. our teacher wanted us to do a presentation about a organisation that was in the news a lot, how they earn money, what are their goals. I was ill that day and this is what i was told by a classmate. Well, some did presentations about facebook, apple, greenpeace, peta, vw, audi, all kinds of companies and charities. I did a presentation about the terror organization IS. The teacher was horrified when i did my presentation. But to be honest, they were in the news a lot and were an organisation. (I do not know if this is only in my country, but we refer to terrorist groups as terror organisations)

So she’s sitting with this girl and she’s like “Okay, now give me 4 blocks” “now give me 5” and then the girl high fived her. 🥰
Not to me, but this happened to a grade above me a few years ago. They were having health class, and one if the subjects was safe sex, so they had a class about how to know if you are emotionally ready to have sex, and so the teacher (female) made a presentation and assignment titled "are you ready to have sex?" and uploaded it to google classroom, a platform commonly used in our school. One student (male) missed class, and so he got an email from the system saying "teacher XXX published a new assignment, 'are you ready to have sex?'"
Did u hear what happened after that?
@@Loaves_of_Cat as much as I know there were no major consequences. It was obvious that tbe teacher didn't try to have a sexual relationship with the student, so they just changed the name of the presentation and moved on
This has 69 likes……..
Coincidence?
(If you see this and it isn’t 69 likes more people must have liked it)
I was the student in this case 😓

In my language arts class, we were having a classroom debate. At the time, life at home was stressful and I wasn't getting much sleep at night, so that probably played into it 😅
Anyways, me and my partner were on the pro side of an argument, but my teacher told me to research the con side. So, I did what I was told, thinking I was arguing for the con side.
When we presented, about 2 minutes into my presentation, my teacher cuts me off. That's when he explained that he wanted me to research the con side in order to think of good counter-arguments; I was still supposed to be on the pro side.
I went into the hallway and had an absolute MELTDOWN over that misunderstanding 😭 My teacher understood my confusion and didn't make me present. He just graded me on the research that I did. I passed, even though it was for the wrong side of the argument 😖
Idk I blame the teacher.. he said you’re the con side then said “not actually tho” like huh??
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My kid's friend did an assignment in such a way that was "well, technically you're right"
Their assignment was to make a PowerPoint presentation on a tool used in construction. This kid made a 10-slide presentation on pencils.
The best kind of correct, technically correct!
*I wonder if he dressed as Hitler...*
"I walk in as Adolf Hitler."
I laughed very hard at this.
I remember reading some reddit story of a teacher giving an assignment where the students wrote to "someone in power" about like issues they had with them, most students wrote about the principal, and then the teacher actually mailed and gave the papers to the intended recipients where lots of kids got in trouble because the principal wasn't happy so many kids didn't like him.. like they legit got detention for "insubordination" or some shit.. and others freaked out because they jokingly wrote some letters to like a local mayor feigning actual issues and shit...
Wtf. That teacher must be ignorant or had a grudge
That’s so funny🤣🤣maybe it’s was actually the teacher who had the most problem with the principal🤣🤣
My assignment misunderstandings:
Way back in grade school, when we were being taught how to write, I was using lower case "i" in sentences. The teacher noticed I was consistently write lower case except when the "I" started a sentence...& told me the "i" needed to be capitalized! So, I dutifully wrote only capital "I"s.... (She'd meant the pronoun "I", not the letter "i".)
In college drawing class, our teacher had us use alternate materials in some class projects, such as construction paper. One day, she gave us a homework assignment to reduce elements in a picture we chose to their basic shapes. Even though other assignments required things like construction paper, I hadn't realized this was an expectation; & turned in something I *drew* with colored markers! Everyone else stayed with colored paper. (To be fair, tho, she never actually specified!)
And, my one vocabulary glitch? During my grade schools end-of-year "carnival" held on the playground, a parent asked me if I could direct her to the "laboratory." That's what I heard. Laboratory. And, there weren't any, so, being a shy kid, I just shrugged; & she went looking elsewhere in disgust.
The thing is, she just needed to ask about the *bathroom!* I'd have pointed it out without any effort at all. The only words I knew were bathroom & restroom: bathroom at home, & restrooms in public places. I didn't actually learn "lavatory" as a synonym of restroom until I was in highschool... When it all suddenly made sense.
(Re: the college art story: this was back in 1980/81, & I really can't recall, any more! Sorry!)
I was the kid in class that asked way too many questions, because I once got a zero on some assignment because I misunderstood, and my anxiety wouldn't let that happen ever again, so I drove teachers crazy. One of my teachers was so bad that the entire class just copied entire paragraphs out of our textbooks for the homework questions, because if you left out any idea then he'd say your answer wasn't complete, and if you paraphrased he'd say your words didn't have the same meaning. He basically had us copying entire pages from the book every night as homework because anything less got marked incorrect. He once said we should try using our heads, but clearly what was in our heads was always wrong to him.
not an assignment, per say, but in 5th grade my teacher told me to go get two students from the art room during lunch.
i walked around the entire school before getting to the art room, got the two students, sent them to lunch, and lunch was already over. i was told that i didn't have to walk so far and there was a quicker way to get to them.
anyway i apparently have disorders that make it pretty hard to process information and i wish i knew that a lot sooner-
Why’d you walk around the entire school first?
Don't know if it counts as a misinterpretation, but it was a fun misunderstanding anyway. I was at an interpreting school. In our classes we usually had the teachers have a (bilingual) conversation and one student would sit in the middle and interpret. The american teacher was black.
This one guy had trouble pronouncing the english "r", he would always pronounce it was "w".
The german teacher said at one point in the conversation (in german): "Yes, I think you're right."
Student: "Yes, I think you're white."
Other teacher looks shocked and replies: "No, I'm not white. I'm definitely not white."
This was joked about for years.
The potato one got me in tears
6:12 Could be worse, he could have read the infamous work known as Metamorphosis
My oldest was in reception class, and the teacher asked for him to take a photo to school of him as a baby as they were studying about how families work.
I misunderstood the whole thing, and did a ton of research to create an entire family tree.
We now have it framed on our wall.
Ok, but what teacher asks students to bring in their poop?!? Like is that a normal thing?!?!?!
At my high school there was a class about social acceptance and how stereotypes are bad. For their final assignment the teacher set them a verbal presentation and some kid goes up and does his whole presentation on why Asians can't drive. I wasn't there, only heard about it from another student, but apparently the whole class was in hysterics.
One of the funniest things I ever read online: If the capital city of Saskatchewan had an NHL team, the team would be called the Regina Monologues.
Oh my god that French kid was golden XD
11:09 She should have said "Write WITH complete sentences."
this reminds me of something that happened in my 7th grade history class, the teacher wrote a list of things we would need for class next week and one of the things was called ONION SKIN, me and another student were walking out of class trying to figure out what that meant, that person said, "i hope we don't have to eat it", i said "yeah, me too", the next day i asked her what she meant by onion skin, she just gave me this blank stare she talked about copying things out of the history book with it, it took me a while, to figure out what she was talking about, fortunately, i had ben using "onion skin" for a while to draw pictures out of my charlie brown books, all of a sudden I went "OHHH... YOU MEAN TRACING PAPER", she said YES, and from what i could tell, i wasn't the only one who had no idea what she was talking about at first, but was the only one to ask what she meant, this took place over forty five years ago and still remember it like it was yesterday.
we also had a teacher where she wouldnt read the assignments, took her a while to notice after people would just write song lyrics or something lmfao
A friend had a teacher who didn’t notice for the entire school year that she had the exact same group of students for two classes in a row. The school is right near a town and one day during the first period, the class went for ice cream. During the second period, the students said they’d heard that she took her last class for ice cream and convinced her it was only fair to take them too.
I laughed way too hard at "was weird dude just turns into a bug"
Sophomore year English - to prepare for Romeo and Juliet, we had a list of activities we could do for a project, one of which included recreating a recipe from the 1600s. One girl did this and made a sort of meat pie thing. Only thing is, the recipe called for 1/2 tsp of allspice. So naturally, instead of Googling it or something, she took out every single spice from her mom’s cabinet and added a 1/2 tsp of each to the pie. She was worried she got it wrong because her mom didn’t have all the spices she could think of off the top of her head. For the record, she still got a decent grade because she technically did do the assignment, and the teacher was cool enough to give extra credit to anyone willing to take a bite.
16:30 If I saw that kid and I didn't already know that they were some Weheraboo who was looking for an excuse I'd probably walk up to them and talk about how clever of a choice it was. Because the people with the greatest impact generally end up being mixed bags, and so it's stupid to turn this event into a celebration when it was never billed as one, and how it was good this person was challenging it
My sister had an embarrassing episode at pre school. She had an accident (bowel control issue) so the teacher had undressed her, washed her and asked her to "stay right here, dont move" and gone to wash her dirty clothes. My sis was in full view of the entire class, naked, but she didnt dare move to a side coz teacher has asked her to "stay right here, dont move" she was very much surprised and confused when teacher,upon return, asked her, " oh you are here, why didnt you move aside?"
That’s so annoying! I hate when people say one thing and expect another.
this is actually amazing, menstrual play lmao
This is why you should ask questions.
Although, I've been in situations where no matter how many questions I ask, I never properly understand what to do.
As someone in college and asks questions I get you. I have legitimately cried over the lack of explanation. Dropped out of a P classes in junior high because of it.
Spanish class 7th grade, I was already a super fluent speaker in both English and Spanish because I had been going to a dual-immersion school since kinder. We were given a list of words in Spanish that we needed to identify if they were perfect, similar, or false cognates. I was absent the day the assignment was posted but being the good student I was, I still did it like I always would if I was absent. Because I was not there, this led to some confusion on my part. The collum that I was supposed to write the type of cognate in was labeled as "Translation". The teacher provided an example. The word was "Chocolate" but in the translation collum, was written "perfect", because it is spelled the same way in both English and Spanish. Because I was doing the assignment without instruction, I simply thought she was trying to be funny by saying chocolate=perfect, but I'm sure you can imagine my confusion the next day before it clicked. TL;DR Chocolate=perfect, but my teacher got no sense of humor.
The menstrual theater one had me crying 🤣🤣
So when I was in the 5 grade I thought that Organism and 0rg4sms where the same thing. So, let’s just say that I got into the principals office in the middle of the science fair.
Ah, this reminds me of the time I did a book report the wrong book. The titles were nearly identical
I had a math teacher who said that he didn’t check our homework, and we’d get a good grade as long as we at least turned in one page. (We turned in our assignments as pictures online). He also joked that “he wouldn’t mind if someone submitted a picture of a chair for the rest of the year”. One kid submitted a picture of an actual chair for about two weeks, until the teacher saw him uploading the picture to the site we use to turn in our work. Needless to say, the kid is now failing math class.
The teacher who just gave checkmarks on papers without reading them has nobody to blame but herself. If you're not going to put in the work to grade what the students turn in, you deserve to be fired.
I remember hearing a few years ago, in a programming class in college, students were just turning in a set of programs that someone had coded and made public to the others, knowing that their professor never looked at the programs beyond the fact that they existed, never looked at the code, never tested them, never no nothing. Then one day the teacher was in a car accident, and a substitute took over, and noticed that each program, when tested, didn't work properly--and didn't work properly in exactly the same way. A peek at the code revealed that the code for all these programs with the error was exactly the same. Further investigation revealed that almost all the students had used these pre-written programs throughout the semester. It was decided that all students who used these cheats would flunk the class, and the one who wrote it would be expelled from the college.
Then the excrement hit the rotary air circulator.
An admin assistant came forwards and confessed *he* was the writer, and he'd done it when _he was himself a student._ Worse for the school, the version of the language bore him out; this set of prewritten programs had been handed in for over 7 years, and the teacher never noticed beyond seeing that they were, indeed, there. The assistant voluntarily quit, the students lost their marks, and the prof was fired.
In middle school I made a native American village from actual photos I found in books of meat racks and other thing's like tooth pick teepees and I made fire places with cat litter and a piece of broken orange crayon and made cooking tripods over some- IT WAS INCREDIBLY DETAILED. I got an A+ on th project. I saved it maby for a train set scene or something. Years later,my younger bro one year behind me,asked me if I remembered that native village I made,then he told me HE took it out and turned in MY PROJECT to th OTHER teacher and also got an A for MY WORK then packed away it wrong and it got wrecked. WHAT A JERK ! I told him he should've got caught for that and wasn't amused by it at all.
In English class, we were assigned to read a story or poem from our textbook from one of three authors: Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Whitman, and write an essay discussing how they compare with Biblical values (Christian school). The teacher gave us an example paper of a completely different author titled something along the lines of “A Biblical analysis of the poetry of Author” The only poem of the three authors we could pick from was Whitman’s, and I was the only one in the class who did Whitman (there might have been one other person but I don’t remember). Hawthorne and Thoreau had short stories, not poems. We turn in our papers, and after grading, the teacher tells us that every single person in the class had titled their paper “A Biblical analysis of the poetry of Hawthorne/Thoreau”. Everyone (except me) had points docked for that, because I was the only one who analyzed an actual poem. The worst offender had added “by firstname lastname” at the end of the title.
I would’ve LOVED to see the “Menstrual Theater” presentation. Genuinely cracked me up!
When I was in preschool they asked us to bring info about a national strike (paro nacional) that was going on at the moment. And my stupid ass brought a picture of a turkey, because apparently I understood "pavo nacional" (national turkey) 🦃
Hold on...IN PRESCHOOL
@@PastelShark123 yeah I just realized that's an odd thing to ask preschoolers to do XD
Totally second hand, but I absolutely have one for this. While in college, my Archaeology teacher told his class about ne student who was asked to write an essay about his thoughts on Euthanasia. the stundent promptly wrote an essay slamming the topic, saying "He was tired of people talking about the youth in Asia, when they should be far more concerned about the youth in England." Killed the class. Mr Charlesworth you rock
In 8th grade, the English teacher gave us the assignment to write a fish story. I told the assignment literally and wrote about the barracuda. If she had said fishy story, I would have understood. I wondered why she gave that assignment when we were studying tall tales.
I never really laugh at these stories, but the menstruation one got me.
Student who saw this unfold.
In my major's business class, we had to make a poster talking about what specific field of our major we want to work for, with an interview with someone who worked in that industry to act as our "role-model". The rubric specifically mentioned to use minimal design, be detailed but not too wordy, and the poster must be in monochrome colors with minimal images.
It should be mentioned that I went to a college that promoted students going above and beyond, so telling us these instructions in our senior year (this was a senior class) is like asking us to regress our creativity.
Of course I'm the type who follow rules just because I want to pass. So guess who put up a poster that met all requirements while everyone else's poster was colorful and creative?
Wasn't surprised when we got chewed out by the professor for this and was told to redo our posters. Of course, she already seen my poster and knew I was the only one who read the rubric
I have one I almost did. I was supposted to wrote about the cell but I misunderstood and proceeded to write 2 A4 pages about the least amount of organs a human can survive without.....a whole text about how a human can technically survive without limbs, face and less than half organs along with the techniques that could be used to keep the person alive in absence of those organs, what each did and why they are important. A friend corrected me before I send the abomination to my teacher. Thx Y.

1:47 Good response from the kid.
My teacher told us to create a character sketch for a character in a story we were reading. I took it literally, as did some other students and drew the character. I got a failing grade and asked the teacher why. She wanted us to describe the character not draw the character.
I hate when teachers expect you to know new things without ever telling you. It's your _job_ to teach us, because we don't know it yet, that's _the reason we're all here._ Hopefully this happened to you before highschool so it didn't hurt your grade.
17:00 had me in tears.
I fully expect to see myself on one of these threads. I spent six hours straight designing and programming a simple choose your own adventure game… only to realize that

The menstural theatre story made me laugh so i got tears in my eyes.
When I was in kindergarten, they were teaching us to write our names on the dotted line at the top of the paper. The day before, we learned to cut the dotted line with scissors. I was late and heard dotted line so I got out my safety scissors (still not sure why they trusted us to carry them in our pencil boxes) and cut on the dotted line. The teacher didn't even say anything to me, until I turned it in.
My teacher was taking us all to the computer lab for an assignment. She said it was a “Dragon Drop”. I got overly-excited, as I love dragons. Everyone knew that so I was purposely overreacting to try to be funny. Eyy? Me and dragons? Teacher just looked at me weird.
It was a “Drag And Drop” quiz. I felt like a complete idiot. No one understood I was being ironic so they just thought I was insane over drag and drop quizzes.
I am literally CRYING about the menstrual theatre!!
15:00 The worst/best? part is I guessed his character beforehand
“I have made... a terrible mistake”
Ok but the amount of embarrassment I would get would send me in my grave early
Embarrassment haunts me like a ghost. Something I probably did in 2nd or 1st grade is just in the back of my mind. Like 2-3 years ago I started crying because I remembered getting lost in Disney world and getting lost in a building my brother had a basketball game at. Anything haunts me
8:38 had me in tears!
Not me but my friend and I have ELA (English) class the same time but different teachers. So we were reading this story about how this women was the “special one” and got stoned to death. My friend (as a joke) thought that she got stoned (as in high). Everyone was cracking up about it lol.
Not a teacher, but when I forgot to do my final assessment, I remember my teacher said “Your CER on steroids is going in the book today, make sure to get it done.”
I thought the CER was ABOUT steroids, but it turned out to be a CERERERC

Data science: We were supposed to model the Titanic sinking (factors that lead to survival or death) and the most accurate would get put on a leaderboard. We were presenting to the class, referred to a part in the web assignment where it says "start by assuming everyone died", and I actually said something like "We're at the bottom of the leaderboard, and everybody is dead. Can't get any worse."
Until we found out we'd been working from the wrong webpage. Whoops.

It was late 2015. our teacher wanted us to do a presentation about a organisation that was in the news a lot, how they earn money, what are their goals. I was ill that day and this is what i was told by a classmate. Well, some did presentations about facebook, apple, greenpeace, peta, vw, audi, all kinds of companies and charities. I did a presentation about the terror organization IS. The teacher was horrified when i did my presentation. But to be honest, they were in the news a lot and were an organisation. (I do not know if this is only in my country, but we refer to terrorist groups as terror organisations)

I had an assignment in year 9 English to write a poem about something or I didn't really wan to do it so I did a Japanese hiku (2 lines) on the subject the teacher was furious telling me ho it wasn't a thing and how I'd be getting a detention (1/2 hour after school) to do a poem about said subject at that point though the teaching assistant piped up Saying she had herd about hiku and what i did was valid (thank you Miss Smith) that's mine.
