A 9th-grade class in Florida boycotts the state Algebra exam required for graduation, showing apathy despite threats to involve parents. This highlights the growing struggle teachers face with disengaged students and a lack of meaningful consequences.
1. 95% attendance requirement is nuts. Stay tuned I absolutely hated the weekly quizzes
They were like pop quizzes, but every week! The only thing popping was my patience.
2. Most telling part of this is “We’re going to call your parents! Oh, God. They called our bluff
The fear of parental involvement the ultimate weapon against teenage rebellion.
3. Less competition for my future kids” is the only healthy way to digest this
Ah, the silver lining of a boycotted exam: smoother sailing for the next generation.
4. Meanwhile, the front end of gen alpha is completely cooked
Gen Alpha: born with smartphones in hand and memes in mind. The future looks… interesting.
5. Bribing with pizza” this post isn’t real
Pizza: the universal currency of teenagers. If only real life worked like this!
6. It’s real and I could tell it’s Florida without even noticing it said on the top right
Ah, Florida—the state of endless memes and unpredictable antics. Never change.
7. Good for them. Standardized tests are a giant waste of time
Preach! Who needs standardized tests when you have TikTok dances to master?
8. If they don’t take it and don’t pass them, they don’t graduate
Plot twist: the real-life consequences of teenage rebellion. *Cue dramatic music.*
9. Yeh lol it really isn’t hard, education is a gift and if they don’t want it, they don’t have to accept it
Education: the gift that keeps on giving… whether you want it or not.
10. The obvious problem is that his having kids fail has worse consequences for admin than it does for kids
The age-old dilemma: who suffers more from failed exams—the students or the administrators?
11. I mean, honestly, the solution is just to impose the consequences
Simple, yet effective. Sometimes tough love is the only solution.
12. And if I was the admin I’d suspend and fail every single one of them. Call their bluff
The ultimate power move: challenging the rebellious spirit head-on. Let the games begin!
