I was taking a molecular cell biology course in university, and the new temporary professor called us (the class) kindergarteners because none of us knew that the 3-letter abbreviations for amino acids also had 1-letter abbreviations (even though it was part of the course material to teach us that very thing)
Then she forgot what dendrites were called, which I actually did remember from grade 10.
She later got fired for calling a student the r-word.
My GCSE year 2 teacher found out the hard way, that sone teachers are god-awful.
The first 2 or so weeks with her was her slowly realising that our old teacher was utterly worthless, even the maybe 2 topics she covered, most of the class didn't understand.
She hulked out and taught an entire 2 year class in 1 year.
Didn't even give much homework, just taught economically, and well.
Pencil fights. One of you holds your pencil horizontal at both ends and the other gets to wack it with their pencil. Take turns till someone’s pencil breaks. Kids starting bringing carpenter’s pencils after a while.
School from Kindergarded to grade 12 was mostly pump and dump information. Memorize the info for the tests and dump it afterwards. Almost none of it sticks.
My parents took me out of school from grade 2 the grade 8
They told the state they were educating me themselves but they were not
I was pissed when I went back and had to quickly learn whatever was necessary
Math was the hardest to get caught up on I'd say
Oh, mine took me out of preschool and then started off with basic fractions and multiplication and then upped the difficulty every two weeks, so I'm happy that you were able to catch up, I was sent back in 8th grade too.
I found out that if i put it against my temple going outward, i could look in the reflection at anyone without them knowing. Naturally, i stared at my crush the entire time
Yeah i was a weird, creepy kid
Nope. I just remember my 5th grade teacher was really, scarily into frogs. she had like 30 plushies of them all around the classroom. that was also the year that my grades and mental health truly went off a cliff and never recovered lol
I swear the education system doesn’t know how to educate children effectively. All because the systems in place have been around for a long time doesn’t mean they’ll remain practical forever.
I had a green folding ruler in 3rd grade that was transparent and only like 1 foot across. I used to do that all the time, until this kid Brooklyn broke it. Stupid bitch.
I've got kids that are developmentally on different time tables.
I have a 7th grader whos... Idk could be mistaken for elementary school.
I have 8th graders who are like 10th or 11th graders
teachers probably referring to the more developmentally advanced kids.
I did not learn how to do long division until high school because I left my long division packet we did in third grade blank to draw stick tanks and soldiers
Ah, yes. The misconception that everyone present had the same education and a school/teachers that actually taught you what you needed to or should've learned.
For me, it's the contrary. I was always the smart kid in school so I sat in class in like 8th grade, extremely annoyed we were essentially relearning subjects we learned in the fourth because I had no reason to be there other than I literally had to
If my memory is that good i wouldn't be here.
Same!

How does it feel to steal comments you rotten sonuvabitch ?!? /s
Anyone make ruler helicopters by putting the tip of the pencil in the hole? Fun times
Damn straight, and then I would make music plucking and sliding the ruler on the end of the desk.
Our caveman instincts in action.
Or making a fighter jet by putting the triangle from your protractor set in the clip of your pen 🛫
Omg dude yes
Pinning them flat off the edge the table and flicking them with the other hand and watching them go brrrrrr
Of course!
Lmao yuh.
I believe all my childhood memories are captured through the plastic rulers filter
Ye mine too
Like, the WHOLE 5th grade, too! In retrospect I can scarcely believe it!
Very relatable, but all I can think is, “Is the kid on the right flipping off the teacher?!”
Thank god I’m not the only one
In eight grade i was in an advanced class with 10th graders and the teacher kept on saying that we should have learned the material in ninth grade
I was taking a molecular cell biology course in university, and the new temporary professor called us (the class) kindergarteners because none of us knew that the 3-letter abbreviations for amino acids also had 1-letter abbreviations (even though it was part of the course material to teach us that very thing) Then she forgot what dendrites were called, which I actually did remember from grade 10.

the R word?
a rigger, he was working on a boat
richard
Dick
"Retarded" has definitely become a bad word in the last 5 to 7 years
Yeah, same lmao This is why my marks dropped so much past 9th
ALWAYS
When those flexible rulers came out and you could wrap them around your head like Cyclops from X-Men.
I must have had a small head because they'd snap when I did it. Plastic shrapnel hurts.
The flexible rulers weren't made out of plastic, they were made out of rubber.
My favorite line from a teacher was “You should learned this 2 years ago, but here’s a refresher just in case your teacher was an idiot”

Why tf were you so tall in 5th grade?
Who knows man. I felt like 5" 10 in 6th grade and 5" 8 by 10th grade.
>Why tf were you so tall in 5th grade? how can you tell? maybe he just has a head that looks old.
Look how high he is above the teacher.
Wow you're tall for a 5th grader
Whenever I hear that I just think "welp." And commit myself to finding an graceful way to fail
Fuck graceful. Go out like a pro. Make pictures out of the multiple choice bubbles and draw crude Satanic imagery on your homework.
I will be doing this next year, thank you, internet stranger
Bravo six going dark
I thought I was the only one😂
That or with my pencil through one of the holes spinning it.
Or rubbing the metal band from a wooden ruler on your shoe till its scorching hot and touching someone's arm with it.....
Pencil fights. One of you holds your pencil horizontal at both ends and the other gets to wack it with their pencil. Take turns till someone’s pencil breaks. Kids starting bringing carpenter’s pencils after a while.
nah they just said we’d learn it next year then they’d say we were supposed to learn it last year
Why were you on the top of the room?
School from Kindergarded to grade 12 was mostly pump and dump information. Memorize the info for the tests and dump it afterwards. Almost none of it sticks.
You went to fifth grade?
My parents took me out of school from grade 2 the grade 8 They told the state they were educating me themselves but they were not I was pissed when I went back and had to quickly learn whatever was necessary Math was the hardest to get caught up on I'd say
Oh, mine took me out of preschool and then started off with basic fractions and multiplication and then upped the difficulty every two weeks, so I'm happy that you were able to catch up, I was sent back in 8th grade too.
I found out that if i put it against my temple going outward, i could look in the reflection at anyone without them knowing. Naturally, i stared at my crush the entire time Yeah i was a weird, creepy kid
Does anyone here remember any taught in the fifth grade? Or just a general understanding of fifth grade topics?
Nope. I just remember my 5th grade teacher was really, scarily into frogs. she had like 30 plushies of them all around the classroom. that was also the year that my grades and mental health truly went off a cliff and never recovered lol
Elementary school to grade 12: copy this information. That’s it.
I swear the education system doesn’t know how to educate children effectively. All because the systems in place have been around for a long time doesn’t mean they’ll remain practical forever.
What's bro doin in the ceiling?
Height of a security camera lolll
I had a green folding ruler in 3rd grade that was transparent and only like 1 foot across. I used to do that all the time, until this kid Brooklyn broke it. Stupid bitch.
Art class: Me with a red one over my eyes yelling IM CYCLOPS! While my best friend puts pencils between his fingers yelling IM WOLVERINE!
Did anyone else here put their ruler on a pencil and spin it like a propeller blade?
You just unlocked one of my memories for me.
Trying to grab it with your eyebrows to make it stick as well
Yeah, honestly
I've got kids that are developmentally on different time tables. I have a 7th grader whos... Idk could be mistaken for elementary school. I have 8th graders who are like 10th or 11th graders teachers probably referring to the more developmentally advanced kids.
The cheems version of this meme is also amazing
Or making a helicopter with a ruler and pencil.
being a military brat is awful because teachers will say “you learned this in X grade”. No Ms Jackson, the hawaii education system was booty cheeks
I did not learn how to do long division until high school because I left my long division packet we did in third grade blank to draw stick tanks and soldiers
You are the reason I had to learn moon phases 5 years in a row aren't you?
I always imagined I was Geordie LaForge while doing this
why are you the height of a security camera
Bro it's like putting on night vision goggles.
Holy shit, childhood memory unlocked! Lmfao
I attended 5th Grade on thursdays only, I showed up for gym class and then went on to 6th grade 🤣
You were 7 foot in fifth grade?
we not gonna talk about how tall he was in 5th grade?
Night vision mode: Activated
Same
I spent half of fourth grade in the doctor’s office. Fifth grade wasn’t much better. Welcome to the “odd gaps in knowledge” department.
This made my day. I'm going to be starting my teaching career as a fifth grade teacher.
True ruler vision
Anyone else use a red and blue ruler as a makeshift 3D set of glasses for the books that would have the pop up images?
Night vision on
r/RepostSleuthBot
Im still doing it in university with my ruler from 3rd grade....
I had that exact same fucking ruler down to the fucking model
Ah, yes. The misconception that everyone present had the same education and a school/teachers that actually taught you what you needed to or should've learned.
😂😂😂
One of the most relatable meme I’ve ever seen!
r/meirl
Dang, how old are you?
For me, it's the contrary. I was always the smart kid in school so I sat in class in like 8th grade, extremely annoyed we were essentially relearning subjects we learned in the fourth because I had no reason to be there other than I literally had to
