Pictures That Remind You Just How Chaotic The Classroom Can Get
Remember school? I mean, I have actively tried to forget everything from my formative years in that concrete cellblock they called a classroom. However, every once in a while, something will remind me of just how weird and bizarre some of the things were that happened there.
These photos are bound to refresh your memory of how chaotic the classroom really was.
Classic Confiscated Watermelon
![confiscated watermelon this kid in my class threw a watermelon at someone and had it confiscated (photo of watermelon on chair in a corner)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/confiscated-watermelon-75048.jpg?width=800&height=640)
In school, teachers would confiscate some things from students that definitely made sense—a Nintendo DS, a sharp object—and then there was the wide variety of things that didn't make any sense to be taken away, if only because it didn't make sense for the kid to have it in the first place.
Where Do You Even Get That Much Nacho Cheese?
![nacho cheese This kid in my class brought a 10lb bag of nacho cheese to my class, he named it Mac..........i wonder about ppl (photo of boy smiling holding cheese bag)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/nacho-cheese-96620.jpg?width=800&height=842)
I've only seen nacho cheese (although I would hesitate to call it "cheese") come in the little containers they give you at baseball concession stands or in the small jars at the store. Where did he get this whole bag, and why would he bring it to school?
Happy Knees :)
![knee smiles boy sitting at desk with a smiley faces drawn on each knee](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/knee-smiles-58807.jpg?width=800&height=663)
I don't know what would compel a person to draw a smiley face on each knee, but I have to admire this person's choice to just go for it and have happy kneecaps.
I Got A Headache While Reading This
![problems on board photo of chalkboard that says](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/problems-on-board-95018.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=674&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.667779632721)
Some teachers in school were great and clearly committed to making things as clear to students as possible. Other teachers would go out of their way to make things as unreasonably confusing as possible.
This Was Every Group Project I Did
![mark jacobs label when you do a group project on your own (photo of clothing label that says](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mark-jacobs-label-72026.jpg?width=800&height=800)
There were two types of group project members I had: the ones who didn't even try to help and the ones who "helped" but were so useless that I redid their parts myself.
It Is His Child!
![glove child This kid in my glass blue up a glove and then drew a dace on it now he's taking pictures of it like it's his child](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/glove-child-37963.jpg?width=800&height=718)
When the days of class drag on, it's hard to keep yourself interested or entertained each day. Sometimes you need a little something else to occupy your thoughts, no matter how stupid it is.
Your Dentist Definitely Did Not Say That
![chews so much gum ill never forget this one kid in my spanish class in highschool said](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chews-so-much-gum-41020.jpg?width=800&height=533)
One of the things I miss the most about school was the absolute confidence with which an idiot would say something horrendously untrue with their whole chest. It was so unnecessary.
Start Your Day Off Right
![salad every day this kid in my sister's 9 am class who literally eats a ginormous salad everyday (photos of man with huge bowl of salad sitting in lecture hall)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/salad-every-day-63733.jpg?width=800&height=598)
You know what? I'm going to commend this young man for not only making sure he starts his day with a hearty meal, but also for making sure he eats his veggies.
Yeah, Let's Get This Bread
![bread presentation photos of students in front of powerpoint presentation with caption: this kid in my class did a presentation on bread](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/bread-presentation-80162.jpg?width=800&height=694)
I'm curious: what was the original assignment, and did this student follow the guidelines at all, or did he just set up his PowerPoint and go rogue on the teacher?
Trying To Figure Out Which Document Is The One You Need To Print
![pro at keeping track of files person one: can you tell I'm a pro at keeping track of my files? (files labelled: the thing, the other thing, the other other thing, more things). Person two: me too (files named with gibberish key smashing)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/pro-at-keeping-track-of-files-13241.jpg?width=800&height=680)
Personally, all of my documents were named things like, "I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing in this paper" and "I hate this assignment with my whole heart I'm dropping out."
College, Am I Right?
![demonstrative shotgun Remember yesterday when we had a demonstrative speech assignment and this kid in my class demonstrated shotgunning a beer](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/demonstrative-shotgun-15432.jpg?width=800&height=713)
In high school, teachers love to tell you that the things you do in high school will not be acceptable in college. In reality, college classes are even more chaotic.
Can't Let His iPhone Die
![phone charger sign photo of a phone charging cord spanning a gap with paper on top that says](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/phone-charger-sign-79607.jpg?width=800&height=778)
I swear that every school classroom only had a grand total of two poorly placed electrical outlets. Charging your phone meant you had to run the risk of tripping your friends.
Anything Can Be A Mousepad If You Believe In Yourself
![mouse on wall boy using laptop in lecture hall with hand holding mouse up against the adjacent wall](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mouse-on-wall-67736.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=77&left=0&zoom=0.738007380074)
In all of my years in school, I never saw a student with a laptop who also had a mouse. Why this student would bring one to a lecture is beyond me.
Stephan Is Such A Well-Behaved Boy
![pet rock This kid in my geometry class has a pet rock named Stephan and I'm in love (photo of student with rock in pink leash on his desk)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/pet-rock-40371.jpg?width=800&height=684)
Pet rocks were one of the most bizarre crazes of the 1970s (and that's saying something because it was the same era as bellbottoms), but it's cool to see that they're making a comeback.
Gee, Why Didn't They Just Think Of That?
![wake up people in comas This kid in my psych class just went](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/wake-up-people-in-comas-19443.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Wow, I can't believe that every single medical professional in the history of health care was stupid enough not to think about just setting an alarm clock next to the person in the coma!
It's An Important Modern Topic
![catfishing presentation This kid in my class just did a speech on catfishing lmao (photo of student in from of projector screen with photo of woman looking different in two pics labelled](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/catfishing-presentation-95977.jpg?width=800&height=758)
Imagine having a time traveller from the 1800s come to the modern day and trying to explain to them what a "catfish" was and how it was such a prevalent phenomenon in society.
He's Trying To Put Convenience Stores Out Of Business
![chip business YO THIS KID IN MY CLASS IS SELLING CHIP, HE HAS A BUISNESS CARD AND A WEBSITE ??? (photos of website showing chips on sale for $1/bag and his Business card for](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chip-business-63808.jpg?width=800&height=632)
I think the funniest thing about this is that this kid really ran with the idea: I mean, making a website and printing custom business cards is a lot of commitment.
Sprite Is Pretty Refreshing
![Sprite glass YOU GUYS! THIS KID IN MY CLASS BROUGHT IN A SHOT GLASS FOR HIS SPRITE PAHAHAHAHA BYU OMG (photo of man pouring sprite into a shot glass)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Sprite-glass-19749.jpg?width=800&height=700)
Here's the correct ranking for the best ways to consume Sprite and it is: 1) from a McDonald's cup; 2) from the bottle; 3) from the can. "Shot glass" is probably #198.
Necessity Breeds Innovation
![taped the speaker This kid in my class wanted to hear his game so bad he taped a speaker to his head (with demonstrative photo)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/taped-the-speaker-50215.jpg?width=800&height=721)
There is no one on this Earth who is more motivated and inventive than a kid who is trying to play games while in the middle of computer lab time.
I Would Fight This Kid
![rainbow mask Yall.... Look @ this kid in my class. I'm so scared. (photo of student wearing a rainbow ski mask)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/rainbow-mask-41693.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I don't know—there's something deeply disturbing about a person wearing a ski mask in any situation that isn't going down a ski slope. It just does not sit right with my spirit.
Some Of The Methods Were Questionable At Best
![skits in health class I just remembered that my grade 7 health teacher divided our class into groups and made us act out skits on different eating disorders like what was that](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/skits-in-health-class-58461.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Are you ever just going through your day when suddenly a repressed memory of something deeply problematic from your childhood resurfaces and you stop and think, "Wow, how was that allowed?"
Good For His Dad
![oregano presentation Today in my bio class this kid gave a presentation wearing no shoes & this is what come of his slides consisted of.. (slide about oregano has points: makes things tasty and my dad makes a great stroganoff with it)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/oregano-presentation-29429.jpg?width=800&height=1000)
You know what? I don't care that it's not particularly professional to add this information to a PowerPoint presentation. I am glad that I know this guy's dad cooks a great stroganoff using oregano.
Why, Though?
![drone in geometry photo of kid with large black case on his desk with caption: this kid in my geometry class just took out a drone...](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/drone-in-geometry-10968.jpg?width=800&height=719)
Maybe trying to bring a drone to play around at recess or during lunch period would make sense, but you are you going to roll up to geometry class with a whole drone?
The Struggle Was Real
![fill another half-page when you still need to fill another half a page (screenshot of word doc with MLA intro including name, date, subject, class, Teacher's name, time, and weather conditions](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fill-another-half-page-45617.jpg?width=800&height=650)
We've all had those moments in life where we've struggled to try and make a paper reach the page length requirement without actually, you know, writing more information into the paper.
Safety First!
![lab attire poster drawing of labrador retriever wearing a lab coat and goggles with text: Proper LAB attire Includes Goggles](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/lab-attire-57135.jpg?width=800&height=891)
It wasn't enough for schools to just tell us to be safe while working in the lab; they had to put up these weird, corny posters in the science classroom.
...And Some Of Them Were So Questionable
![safety goggle PSA poster with drawing of a blind woman with walking stick with text: Carol never wore her safety goggles. Now she doesn't need them](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/safety-goggle-PSA-93316.jpg?width=800&height=1110)
I would like to get in contact with the person behind the creation of this school-sanctioned poster and ask them what exactly is wrong with them before referring them to a therapist.
Hola!
![airport experience my Spanish teacher is so extra like she literally took our class on an](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/airport-experience-89930.jpg?width=800&height=681)
While there were those teachers who clearly came to school to do the bare minimum, there were also the ones who were so passionate about the job that they'd do stuff like this, and I'm thankful for them.
I Wonder How Duncan Reacted
![duncan student sleeping at desk while another one writes on white board: duncan, the year is 4015, You've been sleeping for 2,000 years. We've been able to keep you safe for this long, but they're coming for us. If you wake up, RUN. Trust nobody](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/duncan-31408.jpg?width=800&height=1000)
It's disorienting to wake up from a nap only to find out that everyone else has left; can you imagine how much worse it would be to wake up to an apocalyptic note?
All These Classmates Were Fake!
![times when people wanted to be friends photos of gum, pencils, cheetos, and hand cream with caption: the only time people want to be your friend in school](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/times-when-people-wanted-to-be-friends-17890.jpg?width=800&height=668)
Kids would be mean to you, roast you, and call you names behind your back on the playground, but the second you opened a bag of chips or a pack of gum, you were the most popular one in the room.
Don't Worry: The Shenanigans Are Continuing On Zoom
![kid in my class on zoom wtf is this kid in my class doing (photo of boy balancing a stack of books on his head)](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kid-in-my-class-on-zoom-77876.jpg?width=800&height=672)
School might be dominantly online for some people right now, but students still find ways to act up, proving that you can take the kid out of the classroom, but you cannot take the classroom out of the kid.
