School is a formative experience in our lives, and we learn a lot more than just the topics we are taught. These funny educational memes celebrate some of the commonalities we’ve all experienced while learning about the world and how to find our way in it. They've been gathered up by this awesome Instagram account and we've shared our favorites with you here.
There are plenty of memes about the facts we learned about the world, but that’s not all. Many others deal with the social trials and triumphs that we experience as we grow at our schools and with the frustration of learning in systems that may not always be capable of giving each pupil the individual attention they deserve.

Same for me! I live in South Carolina!

Ugh not this again. Most Americans are perfectly familiar with the Celsius scale AND the metric system.
I work with high school students in the Midwest of the US. My students are absolutely _NOT_ familiar with Centigrade/Celsius or the rest of the metric system! They refuse to use anything that's not "American". Actually, I have never met an American student (K-12) who uses the metric system for anything other than science classes. Even my friends in the medical field, who use the metric system professionally, revert to American measurements in their private life.

Truth here, we're not even coming close to what we should be teaching our kids curriculum wise. Some can't even read an analog clock ⌚⏰
A quick way to get a ROUGH estimate is to take the Celsius number, double it and add 30.
So what does the translate to when I spent a day working outside in 127 degrees F?
Yeah, here in Canada, 6° is when I start wearing spaghetti strap crop tops to walk the dogs. It's 22° outside, right now, and we have our air conditioning full blast, and I feel like death. To be fair, it was hotter during the day so the apartment is still hotter from that, but 18-20° is my favourite temperature.
Texas kids wear shorts 365 because it'll be hot at least once at some point in each day.
Middle of winter here in New Zealand, and my boys are both wearing shorts
Sue you’re assuming we know where Australia is! And you didn’t hear this from me but not everyone over here even knows where Canada is.
Aa an American wirh an educationin the Sciences, Shorts at 50 C sounds right.
There's a workable formula most people should be able to do in their heads. C to F: Double the C number, add 30. F to C: Subtract 30 from F, divide by 2. It's not exact, but it's good enough when you in the US and your Ireland teammates (or vice versa) are chatting about the weather before a meeting officially begins.
Or Americans can just catch up with the rest of the world and learn C.

But one morning back in high school, probably in like October, I had the radio on in my room while I was waking up and they were doing the weather and said "it's 10 degrees out right now" and I was in shock like how is it that cold out? Then I remembered I was listening to a Canadian radio station (I live close to the border) and that it wasn't actually that cold
I will never understand why people hate on Americans for using Fahrenheit. Who freaking cares as long as you know either temperature? We're all capable of doing the conversion.
Only three or four countries use Fahrenheit though. The rest of the world Celsius is standard.

I know the earth is flat, but looking at this picture I see it's got an edge to it also. Is that what is meaning of living on the edge is?
The memeseducational account account has 45,000 followers on Instagram and over 650,000 on Facebook, so they’ve clearly touched on a topic that resonates with many current and former students and pupils. Setting aside homeschooling, which is an often legitimate but very different education path, both private and public schooling options share many problematic and positive commonalities, their differences notwithstanding.
It’s clear that the education system is facing challenges, especially in the US. In the US, school test grades have reached their lowest levels in decades. Students are struggling to completely grasp some of the topics being placed before them and experts are trying to figure out why.
louder, more obnoxiously, violently, and while profiteering. Edison only worked on things that would bring him profit, all Tesla wanted was for EVERYONE to have access to his inventions
One significant impact on the quality of education in the United States has been the COVID pandemic lockdown. Interruptions manifested themselves differently around the world depending on lockdown restrictions and compensation techniques, but in many places, both the quality and quantity of education dropped dramatically. Children had to adjust to learning from home, reduced class time, distractions at home, and other challenges.
I talk like this whenever I attempt to have a phone conversation XD
The COVID pandemic was not the only reason for the drop in the US, however. By all accounts, the downturn in testing grades in the US has gone on for at least a few years prior, hinting at deeper underlying problems in the education system. Similar COVID-related downturns were identified in several EU countries, but their magnitude varied due to vastly different lockdown approaches and, in some cases, available resources.
Oh no, a rainbow. I can hear the sound of furious keystrokes coming from mommys basement as I type this.
this is like the meme about someone trying to get a job for like 20 year olds but you need at least 30 years of expirience. LMAO
um technically washington dc is a capitol not a capital, just saying XD
This needs a sneaky 3rd character "Me, who repairs and even improves defective products"

The only thing I ever did with sin, cos, and tan was name a character in a story I wrote. His name is Sintancoslo. XD
The censored word in question (synonym of 'knave') is a slang term for a male sexual organ
The amount of tines Wikipedia has sucked me into a black hole of weird articles. ...
Moving the goats to the other pasture today. One that enjoys eating everything went first. Making all sorts of noises for temporarily leaving his friends. Gets to new pasture noises are extremely muffled through massive mouthfuls of his favorite food to munch on. Basically this exact picture

These were good! And I didn't notice any repeats from other articles!
I did, but not very many. Much better ratio than normal.
