are they stupid? no offense.

 

[JHall]

I'm in tears laughing so hard!

 

[Trey]

Kids say the darndest things.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while.

 

[WeaponKnight]

I remember when we had these at my school. One of the kids wanted to ask what anal sex is, but he wrote "What is nasal sex?".
It became joke of the month. Lucky for him it was anonymous.

I asked a really "dumb" question. Everyone in the class laughed at me, even the teacher, but I was really innocent and genuinely curious, so I had to just pretend I didn't know who it was and laugh along. The teacher herself didn't know who I was, because I used one of my secret handwritings and misspelt some words. And no, the above wasn't me.

 

[Verelios]

God, these kids are either incredibly stupid or that's the actual mean level of middle school academics there. Jesus.

'threw the back' Ha. I'm afraid for the next generation.

 

[Red UFO]

How old is seventh grade?

 

[I_D]

YES~! LOL that is exactly what I thought, too!! Ah, Mission Hill, gotta be in my top 3 cartoons ever <3

These are freakin' GOLD.

Also:

Good god, this is fantastic. How do you work so quickly!?

 

[Nesotenso]

Most of these have atrocious handwriting and spelling.

 

[gabbo]

It's like that episode of Sex Nerd Sandra where the two sex ed teachers tell anecdotes from their students, but with worse spelling.

 

[Lamel]

Lmao.


Also, is that how 7th graders are spelling and writing these days?!

 

[smurfx]

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Hoolllyy shiiiittt. I want to donate to your cause.

 

[lacinius]

7th grade and not one question about condoms or the pill... too advanced?!?

 

[Vyroxis]

And these children, ladies and gentlemen, are the future leaders of our country.

I weep for us all....

Can't see any .gif topping this one.

 

[NaturalHigh]

I can explain the "pines".

There was a huge mix up in the English dept. at the elementary. They taught "i" before "e" except after "p".

Edit: that doesn't work. what was my english class up to?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Most of these have atrocious handwriting and spelling.

computers auto spell and auto write with 100% neatness

 

[Kiarushka]

computers auto spell and auto write with 100% neatness

That generation of children are too spoiled with auto correct.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Eleven and twelve, potentially thirteen.

Those ages and calling it a "pines"? Can't be.

 

[JBuccCP]

I can't remember exactly how much I knew in 7th grade but we got the puberty/sex talk in 5th grade, and the wonderful std slides in 7th. WAT AR THESE BUNPS ON MI PINES AM I EN TRUBLE!

 

[McLovin]

Seems fake.

7th graders spell better than that, right? right?!

I've seen high school students that spell worse.

I remember killing the word "satellite" on a spelling test in 3rd grade. I can't believe there are 7th graders this bad at spelling.

 

[marvelharvey]

 

[Duress]

lmao

 

[OnPoint]

Why did this take so long haha

 

[Phoenix]

Why can't some of these kids fucking spell? If you told me these were from 3rd graders I might have believed it.

This x100.

 

[questionmark]

Because human bodies are not accommodated for trees.

 

[BigDug13]

I was correcting my 5th grade teacher's grammar back in the day. "Ms. Borden, shouldn't there be a comma after that word?"

I can't believe some of these are from 7th graders. What has happened to English education?

 

[double jump]

the tasteful thickness of it.

I hear you.

Fuck these cards.

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

At work, laughing so hard right now.

omg well done man!

 

[double jump]

I try not to be negative on this thing but I hope everyone that said something snarky about these kids spelling and grammer .......

When was the last time y'all volunteered ect. to help kids outside of your immediate family with their grammar and spelling?

Some of these comments are despicable.

 

[gutshot]

Found some more good ones...

Apparently that last one didn't wish to remain anonymous...

 

[Jim E. Rossler]

8.5/10 Overall Good job

 

[Mangotron]

Jesus christ, where did they find these 7th graders? 2/3rds of them write like 2nd graders.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Is it true that if you don't use it you lose it?

 

[dreamcastmaster]

Pines in ur own butt?

 

[abrack08]

I remember killing the word "satellite" on a spelling test in 3rd grade. I can't believe there are 7th graders this bad at spelling.

Yeah. I don't know why I've always remembered this specifically, but I remember spelling "neighbor" in 3rd grade for a test.

Never, and I'm sure the same is true for the majority of the people here. However, no one helped me with spelling and grammar either, so I'm not really sure that's a fair argument. It makes sense to compare where these kids are to where I was at the same age, and they're very far behind. At the same time, I'm sure there were kids in 7th grade with me who spelled like this. I feel like it was a much smaller percentage, but who knows.


This 16 year old got a summer job at the place I work, and the things she didn't know were astounding. This 16 year old girl actually quizzed me and asked who the first president was. When I, assuming it was a joke or trick question, asked her who, she said "Wait... I think it was... George...... Washington? Is that right?". She had the THINK about who the first president of the US was. She had no idea who the 2nd president was (not THAT bad, admittedly). I asked her to list the 7 continents, she left out Antarctica and Africa and said Russia and KENYA.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A BILLION WAS. She literally didn't understand it was the "next step" after million. Hundred > Thousand > Million > Billion. I had to explain it to her as "One thousand million" and she was shocked. She also told me she thought Justin Bieber had more money than Bill Gates ("Yeah, he's pretty rich but Justin Bieber is a MILLIONAIRE!!!!", which is how we can to discuss billion).

And this girl is passing all her classes.

 

[Stencil]

The students who can spell, punctuate, etc. are the same students who already know the answers to these questions.
The people who write these questions are very likely on the low end of the bell curve.

The man has a great point. Thought the spelling etc. was nuts for that age until I considered that.

You guys are assholes. 12 years are stupid.
[...]
12 year olds are still kids. You were an idiot at 12. Everyone was. It is impossible not to be.

That's... what we're laughing at?

 

[thetrin]

Gentlemen: the American education system at work. No one can fucking spell.

 

[demon]

never mind.

 

[zethren]

These are absolutely hilarious and all, but what the hell.

I had to take sex education in 5th grade, so by 7th grade I had a pretty good idea about the subject.

Not only that, but I sure as fuck knew how to spell correctly. How does a 7th grader (approximately 12 years old, I imagine) not know how to spell the word "does"?

Heartbreaking.

 

[Kazerei]

We did this in grade 8! Our teacher set up an anonymous questions box, and every Friday she would spend some time answering them. Only a few silly/funny questions ever came up though, iirc. One of them was if human women could get pregnant from the sperm of an animal. We all snickered, wondering if a classmate was having sex with a horse or something. Otherwise, we were all pretty well-informed, having gone through plenty of sex education.

I have no problem criticizing the horrible state that the education and the school systems are in right now. But some of these posters are making fun of the kids acting as if their shit don't stink. Idk I just cant blame these kids for the sorry state of their grammar and spelling. I think this maybe a discussion for another thread though.

 

[remz]

Jesus christ, where did they find these 7th graders? 2/3rds of them write like 2nd graders.

Basically this:

Gentlemen: the American education system at work. No one can fucking spell.

welcome to the new age of anti intellectualism.


Something about "what is a scrotum" written in fancy cursive handwriting makes me laugh my ass off though.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Everybody knows about erections in 7th grade; they just might know what causes them.

A third time: These kids are clearly not well-educated. Typical students in 7th know the answers to these questions. If you think you didn't know this stuff at that age you're misremembering or were very sheltered.

I can remember at least six pregnant girls in middle school. Just about everyone in the whole school knew about sex, whether parents liked it or not.

Uhhh I don't think that's normal, bro. Where did you go to school?

 

[double jump]

........



never mind.

By the 5th grade, my friends and I were already watching porn and stealing playboys. My spelling also happened to be immaculate as well. Clearly, porn makes kids smarter.
