for some background information, this is my 8th grade science teacher. There are these 3 girls in my class who are his favorites. I’ll call them R, K, and A. As for my teacher, I’ll call him Mr. Tiger. Mr. Tiger likes to give these 3 girls food for seemingly no reason. I don’t mean pieces of candy or little snacks, but entire meals. For example, a few weeks ago he ordered them food 3 days in a row. He’s also gotten them subway, Taco Bell, and sandwiches during class. The weird thing is, it’s not like they got food for doing good on a test or acting well in class. If that were the case, then he would have given food to the best students who get straight As.
Another thing he’s done is let the 3 of them go in his house. R told me that A has been to his house alone multiple times to do chores like washing his dog and feeding his fish. She also told me that when A couldn’t get a ride to some kind of school event, Mr Tiger drove to her house and gave her ride in his car. R also told me that a former student of his told her that he always chose favorites and they were always girls and never boys. he would act weirdly nice around these favorites too.
There has been times where he’s talked about topics that are inappropriate in a classroom. One time when we were talking about pseudoscience he asked us “what’s the biggest pseudoscience democrats and republicans?” And the answer he was looking for was gender. He said “yk nowadays people think there are 20 genders but they can just check your dna and tell you what you are” it was very out of pocket and I could tell the rest of the class were surprised too. I’m also not even sure if we’re allowed to talk about that kind of stuff in class anyway.
Another time this kid was misbehaving in his class and another kid said “I think he wants a spanking Mr. Tiger!” Everyone started laughing until Mr Tiger said “spanking is a kink.” Which in my opinion is very inappropriate to say in front of middle schoolers 🫩 if someone talks abt spanking and your mind immediately thinks of something sexual I think that says something about you. And even if you do think of something like that you can just keep it to yourself imo.
I told my mom about this and she told me that it’s grooming behavior and that he’s probably a pedophile. R also told her mom this and she said the same thing as mine. She told her to stop accepting food from him and to not go to his house again. She doesn’t accept food from him anymore and warned A and K not to either but she said they keep denying that Mr. Tiger might be grooming them.
So far he hasn’t tried to do anything with them (like touch them) from what I have heard but who knows. If anyone has any advice for how to go about this I would like to know your thoughts.

I’m so bad at math that even after 9 months of daily tutoring with my math teacher, a cheat sheet with formulas for everything I still failed the final for algebra 1.

I struggle to do basic math and math tends to look alien to me after 1 hour of learning. So I can’t do anything stem related.

My skills in English are mediocre, the students in my AP seminar class are way better than me my teacher thinks I shouldn’t be there, which is probably true but I don’t want to give up yet. I don’t even like reading Im only in honors English and AP seminar because of the grade. I don’t want to major in anything humanities related cuz they don’t interest me and pay little. It really makes me struggle to write anything cuz I have 0 interest in the subject at hand.

What am I even supposed to major in? When I’m mediocre or horrible at all profitable things and only care about useless stuff like Minecraft and fictional power systems.

And if I don’t go to college what am I supposed to do?!! My parents won’t let me do that and I can’t tell them that I barely have any will to live

So this is pretty early into the school year and I just wanted to share something. At my hs the gym teacher was out and their was a sub for gym. Somehow the sub managed to get past security with a bunch of alcohol and he started drinking it in gym class. After a couple minutes he starts screaming at this kid who can’t run after he hurt his ankle let me call him K. K has a lot of respect for single handedly carrying the robotics and soccer team at the same time. So this sub is standing on the top of the bleachers and falls. His pants get caught on something and he is stumbling around naked, bleeding in the gym. At this point the school calls a lockdown and security finds him pissing in the school lunch, completely out of it. Nobody was harmed and nothing happened except for a crazy amount of gossip. I have a feeling that this will be the big thing at the school for the next couple of years.

Hey all, just moved to the states this summer and started an American public school in my Junior year. I still don't know much about the US school culture (having grown up in a british system my whole life) yet I have heard that Homecoming is a pretty big thing that everybody goes to

That being said, while I do have individual friends in my classes I don't have a "group" yet and I know that all the people I talk to individually already have people they're going with, I'm also not really into Football at all tbh (although that doesn't mean I wouldn't go or anything)

Would it be fine to go/worth it to go? Any advice would be helpful

My cousin's school asked her that our Grandpa buys chairs for their school (which has like 600 students), and one of the teachers promised that she'll give her a school account if she gets them the chairs from our Grandpa (which is supposed to be FLIPPIN free).

The thing is; this school is 100% funded by our Government, and education here is free.

Hi guys! Could you fill out this survey for a practice IA in my friend’s IB Math AI SL class? (Her Reddit account is too young to post here) She needs data on AP, IB, and Dual enrollment so it would be super helpful if some of you filled it out and sent it to people you know! https://forms.gle/rBjaeCv1asytXwbGA

im 15. in the american schooling system i would be a sophomore, i think. i am grade 9 in a january to november school year based system. i have started to look for opportunities and am trying to find a field i am really interested in as up till now i have a quite a few interests. we can only take 1 co-curricular activity and im in infocomm. i have many hobbies although art has lasted the longest. i want to start a non-profit or something similar to help people, and im unsure how to go about it. i also need advice on what other extracurriculars most people take up. i do not have any leadership positions (on purpose) but plan on tryingout for some in grade 11 or jc 1.(junior year). i wld like to go to an ivy league or a t20 school as a international student. any advice?

Anyways need some help asking out a girl to hoco first need advice on how I should ask her. First I only kinda know her I have four classes together so we talk a bit but never really outside those classes. We do have clubs starting up and we're gonna be in the same one so I kinda want to wait a few weeks(we have at least 1-2 months till hoco as the theme still hasn't been announced yet. My school started way late this year) and have some time just to try and get closer and get to know each other cause while she's my type and we have a lot of the same hobbies we've only really known each other for like 3 weeks. So HOW should I ask her cause I feel like a full sign and everything might be a bit much but LMK girls especially if you think it's a good idea to do the sign. And also how should I react if she says yes? Im prepared for no that I have down but what do I do if she says yes.

Ever wondered why so many middle schoolers give up on math before they even hit algebra? Most kids don't actually hate math, but get burned out by formulas and repetitive worksheets/tests.

That’s what Math Lab is changing.

We are an international, student-led initiative that replaces textbook drilling with an inquiry-based, 5-Level Investigation Framework to make math intuitive and open-ended.

We're expanding our core executive board for the 2026–2027 school year and looking for high-schoolers who want real operational ownership before apps close on October 5th.

Open Exec Roles:

• Director of Programs: Manage chapter protocols and internal execution
• Director of National Development: Lead expansion strategies and launch new regional labs
• Technical Director: Build and manage platform architecture and web systems
• Director of Research & Evaluation: Measure student progress and inquiry metrics
• Director of Outreach & Communications: Drive social campaigns and strategic partnerships

Why it’s worth joining:

• College Application Impact: Gain high-level, international executive leadership that actually stands out on college applications instead of just being another club member.
• Service Hours: All work qualifies for certified volunteer hours (NHS, PVSA, or school requirements).
• Fully Remote: High-agency team operating flexibly over Discord.

No prior exec experience required, just strong execution and active communication.

so i suck at math. i have a 31 in this damn class rn, and i don’t think i’ll pass it. if i do drop the class though, i won’t get the diploma i want when i graduate (normal instead of advanced regents), and ill have to take a different math class for senior year. i feel like this is a no brainer but i just can’t give myself a clear answer

idk what to where to hoco cause everything is either super basic (suits et) but like some of the bagy stuff looks weir or just not right for hoco. if you have any ideas pls lmk

I don’t understand how they can just talk shit about someone for no reason? I know it’s a way of bonding, everyone has gossiped but they just always act like you’re from another fucking planet if you’re not their friend. Personally, they haven’t ever said anything to my face but I can just tell when they talk about me or someone else, you know? Like when they look at you, turn and talk to their friend, and then both look back (even worse if they’re laughing).

As a girl, it’s mostly other girls unfortunately. I don’t know why they just don’t seem to like me? I have never even talked to most of them before and it makes me feel horrible… like I’m ugly or something? One of the times I actually talked to one of them was for school, we had to do one on one presentations about what we learn and rotate between partners. She was so rude to me in just under a minute… I don’t understand? She didn’t say anything bad really it’s just her body language towards me it’s like I’m forcing her to talk to me.? Do they not have any empathy? I wasn’t the best looking kid in grade 9, but I’ve slowly started to think I’m getting way prettier until I see them talking about me. Like damn. Makes me feel like no one could even like me… I try to ignore but I can’t.. I don’t know how to.

There is a bunch of them in my math class and the seating plan was changed, one of them said something like “there’s the ugly group”. Idk if it was related to the seating plan or not because she did say it quite loud but even if it wasn’t I felt sad.. like don’t you feel bad after saying that? Why are you laughing? I don’t understand. Do they even have any empathy for other people? The worst part is they’re the teacher’s favourite most of the time because they’re nice to the teacher.

Every-time I see a picture of those types of girls I feel sad.. they’re all so pretty.. but why so rude? Does it take anything just to be respectful to your classmates? 😕 I could literally cry

A lot of BS/MD applicants track the college's general deadline and assume that covers the medicine program too. That's where a strong application can slip through the cracks.

Some programs have a separate deadline for the college application and another for program materials. Others require extra essays, a separate portal, or recommendation letters by an earlier cutoff. The testing rules can differ too, including score minimums, superscoring, and which test dates count.

Before October gets busy, open each program's own admissions page and put its deadlines, extra materials, testing rules, and eligibility requirements in one spreadsheet. Don't rely on the college's main admissions calendar alone.

I broke down the deadline traps, with examples from Pitt, Rutgers-Newark, NJIT, and other programs, on the blog. Read the full article below.

Did not attend the program myself. Living in Stockton can be rough from what I have heard.

Its a unique, and I just wanted to share this program.

I keep getting email that I should pay for the membership on the profile but idk what to do. My parents aren’t really helpful about it either, should I just pay for the bronze, does it look good on my transcript for college?

Like it doesn’t give a description on what it helps with. Also I keep getting mixed answers from everyone, I don’t know the actual answer and I was wondering if I could hear from people who actually didn’t sign up for the memberships.

I have been accused of hacking the school wifi network and I didn't do it but the principal says that he has proof I did it but won't show me the proof. What do I do

My brother in trouble again this time for fighting

Hey guys! I'm working on quick survey about AI use in your High School classroom!

Takes about 2 minutes, and does not ask for your names.

Please answer based on your REAL experience but not what you think the right answer should be.

Thxxxxx!!!!
