15 Funny Tweets from Moms and Dads Who Are Struggling with Their Kids’ Homework

Confession time: my parents helped me out once in a while with my homework when I was growing up, and my sister, who is now a Math teacher, really helped me out because that subject makes absolutely no sense to me.

I also remember times when my parents said, “You’re on your own with this one because I can’t figure it out!” That’s what the parents in these tweets are going through.

As they say…the struggle is real…

1. He’s nailing it.

2. A good life lesson.

3. It’s tough out there.

4. That’s why we’re weeping.

5. You sure did!

6. I can’t handle this right now.

7. Might be time for a tutor.

8. It breaks every man eventually.

9. That’s enough…

10. You must cheat.

11. Time to disappear.

12. Done with this. For good.

13. That’s not gonna happen.

14. WTF is this?!?!

15. Saying it out loud isn’t really helping…

Funny Tweets About How Homework Is Absolute Hell

I dreaded homework when I was a kid. DREADED IT.

I’d put it off…and then put it off some more, until I reached the point of no return. It’s called procrastination, and it’s an art form, people.

These funny tweets about homework might bring back some painful memories from your childhood…

1. Sure it is!

2. Can’t say no to that.

3. Don’t ask me.

4. Emotional breakdown.

5. Here’s another example.

6. Literally anything else sounds better than that.

7. Oh, it’s gonna be like that?

8. Didn’t go as planned.

9. You did what you had to do.

10. Sure you are…

11. The important stuff.

12. Option B seems better.

13. That’s what friends are for.

14. Wouldn’t that be nice?

15. Leave it up to God.

Cheers to no more homework.

EVER!

Teens Took Fake Babies Home for School Project, and Their Teacher Shared Their Desperate Text Messages

My brother had to do an assignment similar to this when he was in high school, and I believe his fake baby was broken by the second day. Sadly, he received an F for the project.

Bottom line: my brother was and still is very smart, obviously…

But let’s get to the story. At the Chippewa Secondary School in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, teen students got a little bit of a reality check when they had to take fake babies home and take care of them.

The teacher, Andrea Lefebvre, said, “Our students are in a grade 11 class called Raising Healthy Children. The students bring home one of the Real Care babies for the weekend to apply their learning for the caring for a newborn unit.”

This Mom Is Frustrated with School Photographers Offering to Photoshop Kids

Picture day at school is a tradition dating back to, well, probably since there were cameras and schools. Part of the charm for parents is getting a yearly photograph that reminds you of exactly what your child looks like from year-to-year.

The good, the bad, and the ugly, because we all go through those phases, my friends.

But now, with technology and everything, school photographers are offering to make your kid look like his or her best – but not necessarily true – self.

One mom, though, isn’t having it.

What 8-year-old, Sam Walker asks, needs to be concerned about their tooth or skin color in a picture they didn’t want to take, anyway?

She spoke with Metro US to further explain her outrage.

“When you have a child who has some issues and so to suggest we can wipe that away you can look like everyone else is incredibly dangerous and very sad.”

Other parents, some of whom have children with skin conditions, agreed with her.

The photographer in question hasn’t commented, though we can all assume that they offer those additional services because some extra mom somewhere requested them.

That said, let’s all agree that kids are kids, and kid’s photos should come complete with some form of this mom’s checklist:

Please. Kids have so little that’s pure – let them have the terrible images that will show up on their wedding video one day, I’m begging you.

Italy’s Schools Will Require That Children Learn About Climate Change Starting in 2020

It looks like Italy is taking a big step in the fight against global warming and climate change, and for that, we should be thankful…and we should hope that this kind of curriculum spreads across the globe.

Lorenzo Fioramonti is Italy’s education minister, and he is now requiring that, starting in September 2020, all children in his country will receive education about climate change. All students will be required to have 33 hours of lessons each year dedicated to climate change and environmental sustainability.

Fioramonti also wants to eventually make climate change education part of math and geography curriculum so students will take sustainability into consideration when they study these subjects as well. The lessons will teach students the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and will be formed with help from environmental experts.

Fioramonti said, “The entire ministry is being changed to make sustainability and climate the centre of the education model. I want to make the Italian education system the first education system that puts the environment and society at the core of everything we learn in school.”

Italy’s education minister also believes that older people need to educate themselves and play a role in this movement, so all citizens can work together toward sustainability. Fioramonti said he wants to “build a strong bridge between old and new generations around sustainable development as a social glue.”

An NPR poll found that 80% of American parents are in favor of their kids learning about the issue. Wouldn’t that be nice…?

Students Make Tampon Cookies for Their Principal After He Refuses to Put Tampons in the Bathrooms

Leave it to a man to do something this ridiculous regarding women’s health. At a middle school recently, some kids got pretty peeved when the (male) principal argued against putting a tampon machine in the restroom because the students would “abuse the privilege”…whatever that means.

So what did these obviously bright and crafty seventh graders decide to do? They held a protest and baked some tampon cookies.

People thought the protest was pretty amazing, and the responses came rolling in.

“Each generation is incorporating feminism into child-rearing more and more. Yesterday’s ‘you can be a doctor’ is now ‘you can be a doctor and you can demand tampons.”

“She and every girl in the school should rally together and agree that every. single. time. they need a tampon, they should bypass all other adults at school and go ask for one from the principal directly.”

“Maybe the girls should demonstrate that they are not taking advantage of free tampons by returning them to the principal when they are finished with them.”

The girls who baked the cookies also released a statement under the name Revolutionary Girls’ Baking Society (this just keeps getting better) to update the world on what happened after the tweet went viral. The statement said, in part:

“After our cookie protest, our principal and the school board are now working to make sure every girl in our town will have the products they need readily available so no girl misses a day of school. We are very grateful that the school has taken our action seriously and is making a change. Feminine hygiene is not a luxury or a privilege, and not having tampons and pads is a barrier to every girl’s education.

Ours is a story of standing up with love and courage for our basic rights. Stand with us and work locally, nationally, and internationally to support the health and rights of all people. Check out Period.org or any of the hundreds of organizations working to ensure equal access to education for all.

Your actions can and do make a difference. We know, because ours did. If tampon cookies can spark a revolution, then the possibilities are endless!

Signed,
The Revolutionary Girls’ Baking Society, baking a difference one bizarre confection at a time.”

You can read the full statement from the girls HERE.

I just love this story so much!
