40 Times Teachers Made School More Frustrating Than It Needed To Be
I remember thinking teachers had all the answers. Then I got older and realized they were adults at work, which means they were probably just as tired as the rest of us. That explains the occasional typo on the board. It does not explain some of the decisions in this post.
A little classroom mistake can be funny, especially when a student catches it first. The more frustrating moments are the ones where you can almost hear an entire room thinking, “Are we allowed to say something?”
These fails followed students home as a story to tell their parents. I’m sure I made plenty of mistakes in school, but at least nobody gave me a classroom to run.
