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.

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.
It's cause those of us fluent know we're fluent. There's no anxiety to prove ourselves, we know we got dis!

I work in retail and the amount of idiots that spew "JuSt LuRn EnGlisS" at me and all I can do is SMH and ask "Okay, Roy, how many other languages do you speak?" Bc stfu and eat your half off cake, my dude.
English is the second language of my wife. When I met her she thought her English wasn't very good. I told her it was too good. She spoke English correctly which, in a lot of cases, isn't the way the rest of us normally speak. I am trying to learn her first language and am having the same problem. What I'm learning is technically correct but not always the way it is used in normal speech.
Yeah, when I first came to Spain, loads of students would say things like, "it's raining cats and dogs" which used to make us all laugh, as no English speaker would say that - here, it's either a useless drizzle or a total effin downpour! Thankfully their teachers have stopped throwing in old-fashioned sayings that we don't really use.

and Americans trying to correct my spelling after I learnt BRITISH English in school as 2nd language
Drives me crazy when an obviously native English speaker talks/writes like they never had English classes. Punctuation is easier to forgive/overlook, especially in a casual setting like this. But for God's sake, don't talk/write like an 8 year old who hasn't learned anything yet. You make yourself and our country look like ignorant grunts. You speak English every day, you know how to speak properly! OK, off my soap box now. 😁
I just need them to use "it's/its" correctly, "should've" instead of "should of", know the diff between "couldn't care less" and "could care less", and use apostrophes correctly... That is all I'm asking for as a non native speaker.
it is around language proficiency level C1 when it starts to decline
I got told I must be foreign because my English sucks... My response was my English sucks because it's my first language. Canadian and she was from Jamaica.. I guess to her I was foreign lol.
Native English speaker: What does 'sporadically' mean? Me (non-native English speaker): facepalm.
On a side note, that meathead in the pic is a ticking heart attack bomb
When you teach English to non-native speakers, "okay" is a hard word to teach! It has a lot of nuanced meanings!
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.
