Best Characters

Jaime Escalante

There are a bunch of movies that feature teachers prominently. In most movies, teachers are a nameless bunch who often times lurk in the background and don&#39;t play much of a role in shaping the plot line. The fictional teachers on this list are different. They play prominent roles in the movies they are in and their teaching and mentoring of the characters is an integral part of the movie. Whenever Robin Williams is sporting a thick beard, he is playing a serious role. Playing the parts of John Keating in Dead Poets Society and Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Williams thrived as these characters and they are considered two of the best fictional <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-teacher-characters-in-film/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">teachers in movies</a>.

Though he&#39;s not a teacher in the traditional sense, Mr. Miyagi proved to be one of the greatest mentors in movie history. He taught Daniel LaRusso (and later Julie Pierce) discipline and how to outsmart and outthink his opponents. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Dewey Finn, played by Jack Black in School of Rock. Not a teacher by trade, Finn taught his class of 10-year-olds life lessons and how to play rock music and by the end of the film, learned a thing or two about himself.

Vote for the teach you think is the best fictional teacher. If there is anyone missing from this list, feel free to add them.

Funny

Remember when you were a kid and thought your fake get out of school notes where the most legit looking documents ever? Or how baffled you were when your teacher or parents somehow managed to see through the brilliant fa&ccedil;ade of your fake school excuse notes? Here you’ll get a kick out of seeing exactly why you were plans to stay home and play video games were foiled time and time again.&nbsp;Whether it be the misspelled words, the shaky writing, or the lack of scientific documentation for a rare condition that causes students to slowly die if forced to do homework, these funny get out of school notes will have you rolling.&nbsp;

If everyone prepared for picture day at school like the people on this list, then every picture day picture, or mandatory-weird-angled-non-realistic-background-having school photo, would be amazing. What if we could bring stuff like toy swords, horse masks, print t-shirts, wigs, and really whatever we wanted to yearbook picture day? The only people who are going to share them at this point are your parents via picture frames IN YOUR OWN HOUSE!&nbsp;

So, why not take a ridiculous picture with a dumb shirt that makes you look like less than stellar? Or why not get the yearbook laughs instead of sticking to the unnecessary propriety prescribed to everyone on picture day? This isn&#39;t the &#39;50s, or LinkedIn. These are pictures&nbsp;your peers will see and that you&#39;ll look back on one day to remember how awkward you looked. Your adult self will be forever grateful to the kid who turned in such a hilarious school picture.

From a time where this stuff mattered to parents a lot more, here are the best, funny school picture day pictures, ID photos&nbsp;or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-yearbook-photos-that-went-viral/ariel-kana" target="_blank">yearbook photos</a> ever taken of kids who wanted to be a little different, or who unassumingly messed up their picture by doing something accidentally, which is that much more hilarious.&nbsp;

School

There are a lot of great things about being an adult: you don&rsquo;t have a bedtime, you can watch R-rated movies whenever you want, and you don&rsquo;t have to eat lunch in a school cafeteria. It&rsquo;s been a while since we&rsquo;ve had to eat in a school lunchroom, but the nightmares of square pizza and mystery meat hamburgers still haunt us. The only food that we actually remember enjoying is the Friday afternoon ice cream, and according to the FDA, even that was tainted. We should have known it was too good to be true. If you want to ruin your appetite or just take in the ineptitude of the modern school system, this list of school cafeteria horror stories will knock your socks off.

After you drop off your tray of pink slime with the lunch monitor, vote on which of these public school facts are the worst.

In the '90s, around mid-July, every jerkwad Target, KMart, Sears, Walmart, and Office Depot location would start advertising their &quot;Back to School&quot; stuff right in the middle of summer as a horrible omen of what was to come: the next school year.

In 1903, Crayola released their original eight crayon colors. But those are super boring. They were called things like &quot;black,&quot; and &quot;green.&quot; Yawn. But you know how this colorful story ends. By 1905 they had expanded to 30 colors, and today, kids everywhere rejoice that Crayola boasts over 100 standard colors, along with many fun and exciting special crayon lines, like glitter crayons and silly scents! These days, Crayola is known for its creative and delightful crayon names, spicing up coloring time and school supply lists with colors like shocking pink and radical red.

Fashion

Dress code policy has been a huge debate in school systems for decades, and when it comes down to it, both sides of the coin are equally as valid as they are incredulous. Girls are targeted for showing their shoulders and wearing skirts that hover just above their knees, while males are hounded for their hairstyles or repping their favorite sports teams.

All fashion statements aside, we know that schools are responsible for keeping a safe, peaceful environment for students. But as American Citizens under the First Amendment, students have the inherent right to express themselves freely&hellip; and herein lies the issue. By requiring school uniforms or creating a strict dress code, schools are not only taking away freedom of speech and expression, they&rsquo;re arguably stifling creativity and stunting self-awareness by marginalizing the youths of today.

There are tons of arguments that can be made in support of strict dress codes and against them, and we&rsquo;re open to all opinions! But here, we&rsquo;ve created a list of the most ridiculous dress code violators we could find. Vote up the students you think were the most wrongly accused!

Have you ever wondered what school lunch in other countries looks like?

You sometimes hear that America has school lunches low in nutrition and flavor that&nbsp;promote bad eating habits to children. International school lunches, however, are certainly a mixed bag when it comes to providing everything a growing child needs&nbsp;while not costing the various governments&nbsp;millions of dollars.

The Magic Tree House is a series of children's books written by American author Mary Pope Osborne.
The series consists of two groups. The first group consists of books 1-28, in which Morgan Le Fay sends Jack and Annie, two normal children from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, on numerous adventures and missions with a magical tree house in order to help free Morgan from a spell, solve four ancient riddles to become Master Librarians, and save four ancient stories from being lost forever. The second group, referred to as the Magic Tree House "Merlin Missions," begins with book 29, Christmas in Camelot. In the Merlin Missions, Jack and Annie have quests from the ancient wizard Merlin the Magician. These books are longer than the previous 28, and some take place in fantasy realms like Camelot. Kathleen and Teddy are two apprentices who befriend Jack and Annie during their adventures, with one of these adventures being to free Teddy from a spell. The two occasionally join Jack and Annie, and when they don't, provide them support instead.
The 52nd book in the fiction series, Soccer on Sunday, was published in May 2014, along with the 29th nonfiction companion book, Soccer.
