38 Infuriating Photos Of American Schools That The European Mind Cannot Comprehend
1.Welcome to America, where you can't even escape the capitalist hellscape that is the United States at school!
2.Cool, I'll make sure to only get sick during certain times of the school day.
3.I'm unsure how effective this quote is at promoting success, but I know it doesn't promote accessibility.
4.Having a massive bag check line every morning seems way more safe and convenient than, I don't know, actual gun safety laws.
5.I mean, clearly, safety is a big priority at schools.
6.You gotta love how schools won't let women wear tank tops because it's "distracting," but they'll pull a stunt like this.
7.How the heck is this school getting away with making parents BUY their kids' artwork?
8.Especially when, most of the time, the parents are buying all the supplies needed to make said artwork and schoolwork. Or the teachers are, and you can bet that the school isn't collecting money from parents to give to teachers.
9.No, they're using money for stuff like this.
10.Yeah...they're definitely not using funds on teachers.
11.Just in case it's not clear, teachers are not the enemy in this post.
12.Where are our taxes going if not the basic essentials???
13.Seriously, where are our tax dollars going?!?!
14.Don't you love the way the government supports learning?
15.At American schools, we apparently take away bathroom doors.
16.This school bathroom literally doesn't even have stall doors.
17.I swear schools have a vendetta against bathrooms. Like, what is this???
18.Would they really rather you pee your pants in class?
19.This school literally FINES students who "take too long" in the bathroom. What if I have to poop???
20.I literally shudder when I think about the food our cafeteria served. How are nachos lunch????
21.I actually think this "meal" might be alive.
22.At least schools require milk with lunch, which gets you the calcium needed for the day!
23.Is this really necessary??? Is it?
24.Why the heck are class schedules organized this way?
25.Your taxes pay for public school but not lunch, apparently, and some schools are fine seeing kids go without.
26.The standards at some schools are ridiculous. My favorite is "You won't get away with this in college." Reader — you will, in fact, get away with it in college.
27.Now we have the fun new challenge of being accused of using AI in our essays.
28.I just want to see if there's a booger in my nose!!!!
29.Are you supposed to take a shit next to Frank from third-period English????
30.Forget about crossing streams. This is a whole new level.
31.The fact that this isn't even the worst school bathroom on the list is horrifying.
32.Babe, wake up, new "frivolous errand" just dropped: ESSENTIAL BODILY FUNCTIONS.
33.At the end of the day, is it really SO AWFUL that some kids leave class and walk the halls instead of actually going to the bathroom? Is it really worth making everyone suffer to prevent this?
34.It's not just students (some of whom are literally 18 and adults) who are being treated like kids; it's parents, too.
35.You gotta love the way schools have incorporated technology into their curriculum. It's definitely foolproof and way better than traditional paper homework.
36.And the equipment is never broken!
37.Privacy issues at school? Unthinkable!
38.And finally, at least follow your own rules, Wikipedia haters!
