What do you think they teach in high school? Academic subjects, of course. Soft skills - definitely. And in high school, people also learn to joke. Yes, to hone a brilliant wit that reaches its peak in college, and in the meantime, school looks like a training ground for witticisms.

In fact, nowhere is the humor as ruthless as it is in high school. Not always impeccably witty, not always graceful and stylish - but teenagers cannot refuse the opportunity to roast each other. And often teachers become the victims of their jokes as well.

Jessica Kirkland, a Virginia teacher, once tweeted about her students' peculiar humor, and went viral with 551.3K likes and over 35.7K retweets. Almost immediately, hundreds of other teachers came to the thread and actively began to talk about how their own students roasted them.

Bored Panda collected for you a selection of the most witty, subtle and simply funny jokes from this thread, which also emphasize that teachers themselves have an excellent sense of irony, so as not to be offended, but to tell others.

This is the first one I actually like. The others are borderline disrespectful.

    In fact, humor plays an important role in the learning process, and this is primarily due to the transformation of the role of the teacher. If earlier, a few decades ago, the teacher was the main source of information for students, now they most often become just a moderator of the discussion in the class. Not a superior, but one of the participants in the learning process.

    "Formality level between teacher and students are similar to friends or students considering a teacher as a friend," says Nor Azizah Ahmad of Pendidikan Sultan Idris University in Malaysia, who, together with her colleagues, conducted a special study on the impact of classroom humor on learning success.

    Unless your student is 5, that's just rude. Anyone older than that should know better.

    I once had a teacher lock us out of the classroom for 10 minutes while she did her makeup because she was running late and she decided nobody could ever see her without it.

    You should have said that it is because of them you chose to leave with a huge smile on your face.

    "Excessive joke elements can cause students to lose focus in learning and if jokes are well implemented, it can help in achieving good academic accomplishment and helping students to be highly spirited," Ahmad also notes.

    No less important is the presence of a sense of irony for the teacher. Indeed, firstly, a person must remember that they themselves were about the same as a teenager, and secondly, they must not be offended by not always successful and sometimes even offensive jokes, but simply laugh with the students.

    "You are eating an apple. People often eat when they are hungry, therefore I deduce that you are hungry." Everyone laughs and applauds. This is some high-level hilarity.

    By the way, it is worth remembering the jokes from our selection - perhaps one of these students will grow up and become famous, and then this humor will go down in history, like this post of ours with brilliant and witty celebrity quotes. In the meantime, just feel free to scroll to the very end and maybe write your own high school jokes in the comments!
