Step into a world where the chalkboard is mightier than the sword, where teachers' best-laid plans meet their match in the chaos of the classroom. Welcome to a gallery of educational mishaps and moments that'll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even appreciate your own schooling a little more.
Beauty & Brains
When you see this Mathematics teacher, you'll understand why most students fail.
This kind of beauty grabs all of the student's attention from the subject.
Sense of Humor
My brain just can't see the lab coat.
Chemistry teachers are the best.
I. Spy
This teacher left the room during a test so the students all started sharing answers.
Someone looked up and caught her staring through their souls.
No Ruler, No Problem
This professor took matters into his own hands to maintain high accuracy levels.
He couldn't find his ruler so he used the next best thing - the chair leg.
No Shame Anymore
This professor doesn't care anymore.
He's allowed to look just as incompetent as you waking up for a 7AM final exam.
Friday Night Funkin
I'm starting to wonder what she's teaching after one of her students drew this picture.
Friday Night Funkin, a rhythm game.
Thou Shall Not Pass
"No no, there's still 1 minute until the end of class!"
Every time I missed my bus I always blamed my last period teacher for not letting us pack up early.
You Sure Do
"Takes notes. This will be on your final."
If I can fit my fist in my mouth, then I have a large mouth. I can fit my fist in my mouth. Therefore, I have a large mouth.
Not To Be Forgotten
Sadly, I will not be attending class today due to illness.
Nevertheless, I want you to know I will be keeping an eye on your academic progress. I have asked the sub to keep this static picture of myself on the projector for the entire day.
Instant Regret
A teacher asked her teenager to help set up tables in her classroom.
I immediately saw a spaceship. I must be getting older. Johnson, what's that on the radar? It's looks like a huge...
Crossing The Line
There's a fine line between a cool costume and a weird one.
My brain figuratively ran away from me. Teachers, if you're scrolling, please don't do this.
Change My Mind
Hmmm... he's got a point.
Rhinos are unicorns that don't come from riches and can't prance around all day. They joined the military to pay for college and settle down.
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
In high school, we all had that one friend who took his artistic ability to our homework.
For this student, this lovely flower and bee are a perfect match.
Talented Sub
If your teacher's writing resembles a calligraphic masterpiece, you know they have a few other jobs.
Did you know that Latin script is used in Western calligraphy? About 600 BC, the Latin alphabet appeared in Rome, and by the first century, it had evolved into Roman imperial capitals.
Wall of Shame
A forsaken place filled with pictures of the damned, the "Wall of Shame."
We wish those who left their names off assignments, those who were late due to long lines in the bathroom, and those who cheated an easy academic death.
Crime Scene
A teacher walked in on an alarming scene after forgetting to thaw dissected lamb organs.
I found it strangely comforting to know that our lab shenanigans aren't alone.
Dog Ate All The Homework
Here is the proof: The dog really did eat their homework.
The teacher's pet pooch devoured her class's assignments, leaving paper fragments all over her kitchen floor.
Learning Curve
Considering I'm a thrifty and scrappy teacher, I might make this into an ongoing accident.
What better way to fill your new apartment with much-needed home goods than through Amazon?
Worst Nightmare
"While half of them snickered, the other half just stared at me in awe."
It's probably a common mistake among science teachers. It will never be forgotten by students.
No Texting
Can we not admire the entire human form, crotch and all?
There seems to be something anti-crotch about this teacher. Sorry buddy, but our crotches are beautiful.
Oh No!
The substitute made the unfortunate mistake of using whiteboard markers on a smart board on their very first day.
Using this technology, you will never need to use actual markers. Black markers are bad.
Assland
We were going to play Hangman, but then realized it was inappropriate.
So we came up with a new, original game called "Beat The Balls." Then we chose "Grassland" and this is what we came up with.
Gandalf
Doodling on tests is a right of passage for all students, whether to pass time or express ill-will toward the material presented.
Most doodles are either scribbled out or ignored. There are times, however, when something magical happens, and your teacher plays along.
Transitioning
I thought it would be a good idea to buy heart-shaped balloons for my class. Apparently not.
I'm struggling to come up with a PG description here. You get the idea, let's move on.
Wolverine, That You?
The substitute teacher looks like a cross between Wolverine and The Penguin.
PSI - Don't post pictures of your teacher online. I got suspended for 3 days in high school. True story.
Check Your Fonts
This is a really interesting font, since no word processing program or operating system comes with it.
Someone on the teacher's computer downloaded that font on purpose at some point.
Welp
I killed the class pets today.
It can be a teachable moment for children depending on their age.
Put Ya Name On It
“All the single quizzes, put your grades up!”
It was always sad to see more papers without names on the whiteboard... willing to accept any student who put “a name on it.” I hear some of them are still waiting.
It's Mr. White
Even though Breaking Bad has been over for years now, Walter White's life continues to live on.
Among the best people to learn chemistry from is Mr. White, a world-renowned chemist.
Breaking Bad Academy
When I made fake snow with my students and it looked like narcotics bags.
Hopefully, they didn't take them home. Would have made for an interesting family dinner conversation.
Innovative
Teacher locked her class keys in the classroom.
She's innovative and a problem solver, and always keeps a tool kit in her car.
Bad Photocopying
A*s in pocket? That is called boxer shorts!
Interesting song choice. I can't read song notes but I'm curious how this sounds.
They Are J's... Right?
Come on... A 'J' does not need a "head."
Looks more like a salamander. Get your mind out of the gutter!
Teacher of the Year
The Findaword accidentally contained a swear word.
What swear word? I don't see s**t!
Poor Balloon Placement
You could get a bang out of that!
New definition of blue balls. Pop it, pop it immediately!
Ff You!
It took this teacher until Friday afternoon to realize the letter and word of the week sent a hysterically rude message to their students.
We all have bad weeks. It took until Friday to catch it but better late than never.
Highlight of the Year
Who wore it better?
Did the class tell the teacher she looked like a neon pink highlighter?
Don't Play With Fire
The important lesson of today is not to light candles next to your lesson plan.
During a zoom lecture, this lecturer spilled hot wax all over their notes.
Humorous Hummus
As she ate her mid-day snack of carrots and hummus, she totally forgot she was wearing a mask and ended up smearing tahini all over it.
She saw the funny side of the situation and had her colleague snap a photo so she could share it on social media.
Mismatched
Get dressed in the dark?
A teacher took a picture of their wet feet, only to discover that they were wearing odd shoes.
Hangman Fail
The teacher was left red-faced when the student guessed the letters A and S.
As soon as the kids guessed the letter 'B', they used the word ass at the dinner table for the next month and a half because their teacher said it was okay.
Bean Bag Revenge
This teacher had a lifeless green beanbag in his classroom and thought he would spruce it up a bit with new filling.
Most of those little polystyrene balls ended up on the floor when they were being transferred into the beanbag!
Surprise!
An unlucky teacher wore her favorite Lilo and Stitch sweatshirt to remote learning.
Then, to her horror, a rather rude word appeared on her sweatshirt as she held up the class book.
Bad Start
A poor teacher spilled water all over their crotch on Monday morning.
We can only imagine how the kids reacted to this terrible faux pas.
Happy Mother's Day!
This poor teacher forgot to take the handprints out of the oven after baking them.
There wasn't enough time or dough to make a second batch. Happy Mother's Day!
Hello Stud
Their welcome sign was supposed to read, "Hello Students," but they got distracted or ran out of paper three quarters of the way through.
In the end, it sent the kids an even more unwholesome message.
The Linger Finger
If you keep your finger on the words you're reading, you won't get lost.
Her drawing skills could have made it easier. This makes you feel like you should flip the bird at the text you are reading!
Real-Time Mistake
The moment the camera shutter opened and closed, Miss Monica realized she had dismissed her entire class 15 minutes early.
Miss Monica might need to go back to school to learn how to tell time. Minutes are on the little hand, and hours are on the big hand.
Rip-Roaring Time
The smile on her face tells you that she loves her job, even after ripping her jeans doing cart wheels with the students.
As she shuffled out of the classroom with strategically placed hands, she re-emerged in different pants, still smiling!
Couldn't Resist
The class skeleton almost made it a whole year safe from the students.
It was impossible to resist modifying the class skeleton's hand.
Student Revenge
The teacher's student came up with a unique way to retaliate for giving a difficult test.
"You made it hard so I'm gonna make it hard to check." Kids are savages these days.
Stop Staring
This teacher got sick of kids staring down the clock, so they decided on a temporary fix.
No Snapchatting
It’s not really clear how the teacher got this snapchat in their possession, but the results are priceless. This is what happens when you snap in class, it’s projected for everyone to see!
End World Hunger
This is the type of teacher everyone wants. Not too serious and knows how to have fun while teaching.
Obey The Tree
This is pretty amusing, but we have to ask... What real qualifications does this tree have to teach?
Look Alive
Honestly, being able to fall asleep sitting upright like that is pretty impressive.
Phone Jail
This is phone jail for all those who get caught on their phone during class. You guys aren’t being very sneaky!
Delicious
There's no messing with this teacher! He means business.
Dearest Lover
It doth hast been a fortnight since we last saw each other.
Return The Dude
We’re not sure who The Dude is, but we agree, he must be returned.
Sorry
There’s a bit of hostility from both ends on this one. Tests are no fun to take, but they’re also not fun to grade.
The Grades Killed Him
This is a bit dramatic, but probably got the point across.
Harsh Reality
Having a job at McDonald's is fine, but maybe this teacher is trying to get you to work harder so you don't have to do it forever.
No Walkens
No walk-ins, no exceptions. Don’t make Christopher Walken sad.
I See Everything
Cheating will not go unnoticed. He will catch you.
Cooking Class Realness
It is blasphemy to not use a timer in a cooking class.
Waiting For His Moment
He revealed his secret shirt quickly. There are always questions about things in the syllabus.
Nitty Gritty
This teacher really isn’t messing around. You can tell by the casual lowercase that he means business.
Extra Credit
If you don’t know the answer to this, then you shouldn’t be allowed on the internet.
Woo, Math!
Math is crazy, but also terrifying.-
Make The Money
For a meek $25 you could be the best students in class and your parents will have no idea that all you do is Snapchat in class all day.
Breakfast Break
They’re not wrong. Those couples in the hallway that act like they won’t ever see each other again are brutal.
Burn!
Maybe keep better track of your homework before it goes “missing.” Always room for improvement!
BRB
Please talk to my assistant while I am away.
No Comic Sans, Ever
An eight-year-old would probably know better than to use Comic Sans. This is an insult to eight-year-old unicorn poets everywhere.
Subtle Note
The cute cursive and bright orange pen takes the edge off of this pretty harsh note.
That's Creepy Dude
Is that a real bird? Is this allowed?
Roasted
If you're going to diss your English teacher, make sure you do it right.
Fourth Be With You
This teacher really got into the Star Wars spirit.
That's Reasonable
If you’re late eight times, 90 minutes of Nickleback is still being nice. There’s no reason to be late that many times.
Squad
Don't be on your phone next time! Then you won't have this cringe-worthy background.
