Students usually remember teachers for one of two reasons: they were either excellent or terrible. The great teachers do more than teach their subject; they believe in their students, give them life skills, and inspire them to be the best versions of themselves. The inadequate teachers do just the opposite and can cause irreparable damage to the confidence and growth of a student who may be struggling. And then you have the teachers who are SO bad that they got fired. Whether it's for sleeping with a student or embezzling school money, there's always one who thinks they'll get away with it. An AskReddit thread has got people sharing the reasons their teachers were fired, and the responses are so shockingly sad, it's a wonder how they even qualified to become teachers in the first place.

Everyone remembers their sex-ed in school. Or, in some people's cases, their lack thereof. Whether it consisted of your PE teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a banana or your biology teacher told you that sexual contact of any kind was a sin that you'll burn in hell for, I'm betting it was pretty uncomfortable. These real, sex-ed horror stories from students and teachers show how painfully awkward the topic is and how wrongly schools teach their students such an important issue.
Unfortunately, bullies and high school come hand in hand. Kids can be mean, but as we all know, those who bully others are only hiding their own pain inside.

For those who were lucky enough to sail through high school without being picked on, good for you! But for those of you who did get bullied, it might be worth finding out what adulthood has in store for them. Because these people are Tweeting what their bullies do now, and by the sound of things, karma has a way of making everything turn out just the way it should.

It might be hard to remember what going to school is even like given the current situation, but cast your minds back if you can. High school and college may both be educational institutions, but in reality they couldn't be more different. Whether it's the way you communicate with your teachers, or the attitude students have in class, these hilarious tweets demonstrate the stark difference between high school and college and how the former can never prepare you for the latter.
