Growing up, I loved going to school. I enjoyed learning, socializing with friends and participating in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. But when I think back on my days as a student, I remember the people and experiences fondly. However, I do not feel the same way about the environment I was in.
My high school was constantly under construction while I attended, and it was anything but pleasant. Dust was everywhere, loud drilling occurred all day long, and bizarre routes between buildings meant that I was almost always running late for class.
But education should be enjoyable! And thankfully, there are plenty of schools and universities out there that actually prioritize creating an exciting learning environment. Bored Panda has scoured the internet to find photos of the most interesting and brilliant things students have spotted in their schools, so we've gathered some of their best finds down below!

Say Hello To My University's Library Cat
Mistletoe 1 year ago
It would be great if cats were allowed in more places. Schools could have time out areas where a child, teen, or teacher could take a few moments to calm down by petting a cat, hold a cat on their lap, or just sit and watch one napping. I say AREA and not room because it would not be safe for the cat around some people.

I wouldn't be able to get anything done. Or sound intelligent, given that my first reaction was to go "kitty kitty kitty!"
There are plenty of days when I’m frustrated with being an adult, often when it comes time to pay rent or buy my own groceries. But I have to admit that I’m very thankful to be done with my school days. I had a great time, and I made some amazing friends. But if I had the chance to go back in time and do it all again, you couldn’t pay me enough to trade in the freedom I have now.
According to a 2022 study from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and the Yale Child Study Center, almost three quarters of students report having negative feelings towards school. And when asked to rank the emotions that they most commonly feel, students most often reported feeling tired, stressed, bored and calm. Happiness came next.

No books should be banned. Period. Banning one work, regardless of the reason, simply opens the door for others to ban something else, because "I don't like it", or "I don't understand it" .

Our School’s Service Dog, Lucy, Made It Into The Staff Page Of The Yearbook
It makes sense that so many students don’t have glowing reviews about their time in school. Despite how many adults tell kids and teens that they’re in the best years of their lives, it often doesn’t feel like that. One fifth of students experience bullying, and only 50% of girls in 9th grade would describe themselves as confident. Being a kid should be carefree and easy, but the reality is that it’s not all sunshine and roses for everyone.
And being a teen is almost always worse. KFF reports that one fifth of teens report having symptoms of anxiety or depression, and 20% admit that they’re not getting the therapy they need due to the cost, being scared of what others may think and simply because they don’t know how or where to go for help.

Share the Dignity have collection boxes outside a lot of supermarkets in Australia so you can donate products. I think the placement is a great idea as it reminds you as you go in that you want to buy donations, and it avoids my common practice of having donations sitting in the car for ages because you forget to take them with you.

I am surprised that they let students use the fire slide to exit the building.
So what can we do to better support our students? Well, one of the first steps should be focusing on cultivating a safe and inviting learning environment. Teachers cannot control what is going on in a student’s life outside of school, but they can work to improve their experience in the classroom. According to the University of Buffalo, students have more trust in themselves and their educators when they are in a positive learning environment.

They could call it the Tom Lehrer Memorial Chemistry Lab, except - fortunately - he's still with us at age 96.
Instead of creating a classroom where students feel judged or unsafe and second guess themselves constantly, teachers should work towards making students feel supported and comfortable. They should know that mistakes are acceptable and inevitable, and they should feel like their ideas are heard and listened to. Students should be invited to share their thoughts openly, and teachers should respond accordingly. A collaborative environment is much more exciting than one where teachers simply speak and students simply listen.

These Medieval Ruins Were Randomly Found Under A School Gym Hall. The School Was Founded In 1276 And Is The Oldest School In Finland

Getting students engaged in learning can be a challenge, but it’s certainly worth it for teachers who see their class’ grades improve and who get to work with excited young minds every day. When it comes to getting students more involved in their learning, Education Week recommends building great relationships with students. One way educators can do this right off the bat is by working together with students at the beginning of the year to create rules for the classroom. This gets the class involved, and it allows everyone to feel part of the decision making in the classroom.

My School's Library Has Noise-Level Guides That Change Color When It Gets Too Loud
Salty_Sasquatch 1 year ago
I wished I had this in college, when an idiot in the library kept sniffing and hawking with actually spitting things up. It was so disgusting to try to study for finals I finally went and got a handful of toilet paper to hand him the next time he did it. He stopped after I came out of the bathroom with the toilet paper.
Mistletoe 1 year ago
Many teachers have purchased similar devices for their classrooms - most being traffic lights that go from green to red - and back down again when students realize they've gotten too loud. They're wonderful because teachers can devote themselves to the students without disrupting everyone about noise levels. Notice I said many teachers have purchased them.
Lsai Aeon 1 year ago
We had these in the elementary school cafeteria in the 80s. One or more of the secretaries from the office would walk around the cafeteria. If a table of kids got too loud they would switch out the laminated construction paper cylinders to yellow or red.
Sophia Athene 1 year ago
We had the automatic ones in my 80s school cafeteria. 8-10 classes of 30+ elementary school children were expected to whisper at friggin lunch. The blaring went off constantly. So teachers threatened us that we would lose privileges like recess, music class, and library visits if the alarm went off while the class was in the cafeteria. $h!+ kids would purposely set it off. Parents then went ballistic--my mom joined other parents in complaint when I and my class constantly lost the "privilege" of going to the library due to troublemakers. Didn't take long after that the dang things disappeared. I hope they work better in libraries.
Load More Replies... It’s also wise for educators to ask their students questions to get them engaged in the classroom. It’s easy for students, especially kids, to completely zone out during a lesson. But when they’re asked to actively participate and share their thoughts, paying attention becomes a lot more important. Plus, it’s another opportunity for them to realize that their teacher is actually listening to them.

This might mean giving the class an option between two different assignments every now and then or letting them vote on which day out of the week the next math test will be. They might even be able to earn rewards as a class, and they can vote on whether they would rather have ice cream or a movie as their prize. These simple things can keep kids much more engaged in their lessons.

This is a common way for teachers to get notes home for children who would more than likely lose them between home and school as well as getting the attention of those parents who aren't too good about checking their child's backpack before it's too late. As a teacher this problem was frustrating but as a parent I was often guilty of it myself! With my older kids (first and second grade) the kids would fold up the note and I'd staple it around their backpack strap. It served the same purpose but without treating them like when they were in preschool and kinder.

They're actually supposed to *help* with posture, because you're not sitting still in these. Micro movement for balance, plus actual fidgeting.

The blue rectangle "Tempo" in the middle of the pic is THE German tissue handkerchief - the brand name is the most commonly used name for tissues, much like "Kleenex" is for similar ones in English, only the packaging is much smaller.

If students commonly have outbursts so bad they must be locked away without access to a way out, because of the loss of control, it is probably very distressing and should probably be improved or worked through instead of dealt with by brute force. I still absolutely love the idea anyway because this is not the situation for many and so many would find this so useful and cathartic to others :D
