50 Funny School Memes Every Student Can Relate To

Last Updated on March 3, 2024

Normal classes, right before the pandemic hit, were challenging enough. Today, online classes make it tougher on students and teachers to get work done. There’s definitely more distractions at home. Plus, with teachers having less control because of distance, students are always tempted to do something else aside from schoolwork.

But despite the issues, online schooling can be fun. For one, it’s different seeing all your classmates through webcam instead of face-to-face. Teachers usually have hilarious moments too, such as forgetting they are on mute for the entire duration of the class; or when they suddenly try on different Zoom backgrounds and effects.

However, with the delay in lessons, students complain they have too much homework and projects than normal. This can be tricky. On one hand, parents can aid with schoolwork. On the other hand, not everyone is privileged enough to have such help readily available.

As everyone adjusts to the ‘new normal’, we can expect more bloopers (and epiphanies) when it comes to online classes. For now though, entertain yourself with these funny school memes.
