Hated to the point where we would play up or encourage and "egg-on" those who had the courage to misbehave. In some of the classes I attended in the middle of my compulsory education, chaos was king, and the way many of us acted, myself included, must have been a nightmare to be on the receiving end of. In all honesty, and I think later in life, we will all unanimously agree, teachers are the heroes of the modern age for the way they face and the adversity they overcome each day. However, these seemingly and commonly perceived to be insurmountable odds aren't always won by playing by the very book taught! Rather some teachers twisted and intelligently turned upon the jokers, forcing them into being the very joke themselves. So, here we are, 30 examples, in no particular order, of teachers getting their own well and truly back! [post_page_title]#1 A Note On My English Teachers Door[/post_page_title] Beginning this list, we have a teacher showing how clued-up and clued in they really are into what their students say about them and their classes. Never underestimate your elders, kids! [caption id="attachment_4705" align="aligncenter" width="700"]

Credit: Reddit / L1Rsat[/caption] To their credit, the teacher sees their point well and truly made, yet leaves the student in question anonymous for the most part. Again, well played. [post_page_title]#2 Teacher Wrote “See Me After School”[/post_page_title] Many moons ago, when I was still in compulsory education, it was a common occurrence that students who were doing extremely well in school, either or in general or at that time, would become a little cocky in the assurance of such good work. [caption id="attachment_4706" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / holliano[/caption] This teacher absolutely nailed such behavior, setting this student straight through hilarious fear tactics. It worked, didn't it? Lessons were learned. [post_page_title]#3 Psychology Professor Trolls Two Of His Students[/post_page_title] There are many age-old maxims that pertain to making an example of individuals and groups in order to outlaw or improve certain circumstances or traits. It's something that is still the case to this day in many places of work but especially in schools. [caption id="attachment_4707" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / Harris[/caption] The professor executes such exercise in the most beautifully manipulative way suitable to her station and it's brilliant. [post_page_title]#4 My Professor's Got Jokes [/post_page_title] One way to achieve harmony and a less troubled classroom environment is to assert dominance in all ways appropriate. To do so in ways that will not only give you hegemony over the unruly mob but methods that will also garner respect. [caption id="attachment_4708" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / Unknown User[/caption] Many of my friends are teachers and they use this method. The above example would impress even them. [post_page_title]#5 He Does This Every Test So We Don’t Cheat[/post_page_title] Each to their own. This teacher knows the game. He knows that people will cheat if they can, and he also is aware of his own biology, in that it sadly hasn't enabled him to see from the back of his cranium. [caption id="attachment_4710" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / chingaderaymedia[/caption] "If it works, it works" is clearly the motto of this teacher, and it clearly works. [post_page_title]#6 An Awesome Yet Evil Professor[/post_page_title] When students get older, the amount that they can give and take a little verbal abuse, banter and practical jokes, as a rule, increases annually. This is something that the professor in this next example us more than aware of. [caption id="attachment_4711" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / e8odie[/caption] If there was ever an example of a professor or person in power within the realm of education having unambiguous control of their charges, its utterly this genius. [post_page_title]#7 The Professor Is Not Mad... Just Disappointed[/post_page_title] The moan, the winge, the lecture, the full-blown deconstruction of students' arrogance. We'd be all be lying to ourselves if we said we hadn't fallen prey to it. Sometimes, it made things worse and sometimes, just sometimes, orchestrated the right way, proved more than effective in getting the point across. [caption id="attachment_4712" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / Warhead2220[/caption] Not only is this brutal, but in the manner it's written, gets the point across in a crystal clear fashion - so much so that I really hope this wastes of this professors time wised-up. [post_page_title]#8 He Asked The Teacher For A Pen[/post_page_title] When in education, you get to a certain age as an individual where the ability to bring something to scribble notes with or write an exam is expected. But, if it kept happening, and it was getting embarrassing, how would a good teacher deal with it? [caption id="attachment_4713" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / masturprobation[/caption] Like this. I should think that this student never, ever, in a million quills forgot his pen again. [post_page_title]#9 My Chemistry Teacher's Solution To People Stealing Her Calculators[/post_page_title] I remember teachers becoming highly irritated at the prospect of their equipment disappearing, and when it actually did, all hell would break loose! [caption id="attachment_4714" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / Unknown User[/caption] Or was that brick-loose? I can't remember. [post_page_title]#10 I Fell For It (Troll Teacher)[/post_page_title] For this next example, I can only imagine what this class was or wasn't doing to such an extent to warrant such a complex effort. Scroll down! [caption id="attachment_4715" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit/ FreakForFashion[/caption] And they all got straights As, never messed around, misbehaved or missed a deadline ever again. [post_page_title]#11 Dressing As Professor Quirrell[/post_page_title] "In order to beat them, sometimes, you must join them and be better than they have ever been" - This Teacher. [caption id="attachment_4716" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / heart[/caption] To give this excellent cosplay a little context, this fountain of knowledge was sick of the constant comments and jokes directed at him, suggesting that he strongly resembled Lord Voldermort from the Harry Potter franchise. So, this was his response. Maybe he did find the stone? [post_page_title]My Chemistry Teacher Set The Table On Fire[/post_page_title] Fire destroys all! Even dissension in the ranks of young minds hell-bent on misbehaving! [caption id="attachment_4717" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / iwillmindfuckyou[/caption] That's a sure-fire way of burning the opposition. [post_page_title]#13 Teachers Have Just As Much Of Humorous Side[/post_page_title] Do the scroll! [caption id="attachment_4718" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / Unknown User[/caption] Never underestimate teachers or simply subscribe to the belief that they are all mindless, authoritative and emotionless drones, they are people too, infinitely hilarious people. [post_page_title]#14 My Uni Lecturer Has A Photo Of Him Sitting On His Desk On The Window. I Paid 9k To These Trolls![/post_page_title] Bitter? This student? I absolutely have no idea what you are trying to infer. [caption id="attachment_4719" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / KaySiizzle[/caption] An utter legend? This teacher? I completely concur with what you are trying to infer. [post_page_title]#15 My Professor's Desktop Before Our Final Exam[/post_page_title] I had a few teachers back in the day that would do this or rather things like. They would do it so subtly and so skillfully that by the time the entered the room or began to teach something a little heavy going, the students would have given them their undivided attention. [caption id="attachment_4720" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / nick51417[/caption] El Teacho is not to be messed with. [post_page_title]#16 Our Biology Teacher Brought A Skeleton To Class[/post_page_title] This one is a little more lighthearted and likely as a result of a teacher who actually really fond of his class and of his commitment to teaching them. [caption id="attachment_4721" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / ayatokiwa[/caption] The caption on the original entry read as follows: "Our biology teacher bought a skeleton to class yesterday and now everyone's treating it as if its part of the class - so I'm going to!" The system works! [post_page_title]#17 My Professor Really Brought A Mf Coffin To Class To Say “Yall Test Scores Had Me Dead"[/post_page_title] Impressive. [caption id="attachment_4723" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / elmariochido[/caption] Very, impressive. [post_page_title]#18 Did My Professor Just...[/post_page_title] "Did he just what? Answer your question? No, there was something else?" [caption id="attachment_4724" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / Hypatia_Swanson[/caption] "Oh I see, yes he did and did it well." Teachers are teachers for a reason and yet their intelligence, and how they choose to use it, is still nothing short of amazing. [post_page_title]#19 My Brother Lost His Recorder And The Teacher Still Made Him Perform[/post_page_title] I can't decide if this one is a little cruel or not. I'm sure it is, but teaching younger people, especially tiny-humans, the basic responsibility of well, responsibility is paramount surely? [caption id="attachment_4725" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / ABelenje[/caption] Yes, yes it is and sometimes it's also funny. [post_page_title]#20 So My Teacher Had Us Do A Lab Today And...[/post_page_title] ... well, what are you waiting for?! Scroll on! [caption id="attachment_4726" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Tumblr / Spacebras[/caption] I'm sure many were questioning whether this teacher was fit to be in charge of people's kids but either way, that's one way to make light of a situation. [post_page_title]#21 When Your Professor Is Feeling Savage[/post_page_title] Generally speaking, if you're sat in a classroom, you're either there to learn because that's what a school is at a compulsory level or you have chosen to be there. When either of the boxes are ticked and students show a complete disregard to the process, then it understandably irritates teachers. Onward ye scroll! [caption id="attachment_4727" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / MrMegaGamerz[/caption] Today on: Minimal words make big statements! [post_page_title]#22 Math Teacher Got Tired Of Kids Not Returning Her Pencils[/post_page_title] Passive aggression is a method that when in a position of power, shows true intention and preference. Given the state of contemporary politics, its terrifying, given the state of this next example, it's more than amusing! [caption id="attachment_4728" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / Sleal[/caption] That said, the joke is on this teacher if this teacheroo had a room full of Beliebers... But THAT said, based on the excellence of this transgression, they clearly know their audience. [post_page_title]#23 Asked My Teacher For A Letter Of Recommendation...[/post_page_title] *giggles to self* [caption id="attachment_4729" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / yakmo[/caption] *giggles to self some more* What? It's fun! Especially as this once happened to me at university. [post_page_title]#24 Never Say "Yo" To Your Professor[/post_page_title] Chris clearly thought that he had the bravado and the intelligence to get away with not turning up to class, he thought that emailing his oracle of knowledge give him the answers he needed. Chris was wrong. [caption id="attachment_4730" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / sivribiber[/caption] The oracle decides whether you are intelligent or not, Chris and it has given you your task. Brilliant. [post_page_title]#25 Professor Just Started Updating The Course Site And Added This Photo[/post_page_title] Nagging sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. It indeed is what it ultimately is. [caption id="attachment_4731" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / pad_thai_chicken[/caption] Passive aggression strikes again and is exponentially more (super) effective. [post_page_title]#26 When You Don't Show Up For Spanish Class And Your Teacher Is Extra As Hell[/post_page_title] Back to the image that drew you here is where we find ourselves now! But why? Why must we see this again? [caption id="attachment_4732" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / grace_sheenan[/caption] Because, my young students, teachers are adept at many things and owning students who abuse their power is one of them! This was obviously taken in jest, but I felt the need to be dramatic! If you don't like it, put me in detention. [post_page_title]#27 My Son's Teacher Is Proud Of Me![/post_page_title] This is one of the better entries on this list. This teacher clearly knows the capabilities of his charges! [caption id="attachment_4733" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit /chestypants12[/caption] Ryan's dad has been rumbled. Be honest with yourself now - how many times did your teachers spot your parent's own hand in your work?! [post_page_title]#28 My English Teacher Put This On The Clock During Finals. How Clever![/post_page_title] If that isn't motivational, what is?! [caption id="attachment_4734" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / Unknown User[/caption] Nothing, this is all. [post_page_title] #29 This Is Incredible[/post_page_title] This one is a little heart-warming but also a clever-little "get back" at easily distracted students. [caption id="attachment_4735" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / Dark_Lord_Zubat[/caption] And you know what? See for yourself, it bloody worked! What an excellent way to inspire confidence AND eliminate chatting during a test! [post_page_title]#30 I Think The Teacher Is Sick Of The Our Class[/post_page_title] To close, we have a teacher that has although unequivocally had enough and sat on the fence with one leg over passive-aggressive and the other dangling over all-out war, has completely controllably, dealt with their unruly students in the best way. [caption id="attachment_4736" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / LeGronamOx[/caption] Why would you cross this teacher again? It would be pointless! If anything, you'd want to learn such emotionally deconstructive power! Excellent job teach, excellent job. I hoped you laughed and reminisced as much as I did! Be sure to tell your kids to absolutely not underestimate their teachers!
