Teacher Goes Viral For Using Hilarious Meme Stickers To Grade Work

Everyone knows that being a teacher must be hard work and obviously it's a huge responsibility having all those young minds relying on you to set them up for the world ahead.

With that great responsibility, comes a hell of a lot of marking too, however one media studies teacher has come up with a hilarious way to make marking a lot more fun, and amuse her students along the way.

The teacher, who we only know as Ainee F on Twitter, F on Twitter, shared several photos and video clips of her placing stickers she had made to grade homework.

Doesn't sound out the ordinary right? Except, every sticker has a different meme on it - one to show confusion and another to congratulate them on their good work.

Alongside the video, Ainee wrote: "I love grading with my new stickers."

She added: Ainee added: "These were really well received by my kids. Students who normally wouldn't care actually asked if they could correct their tests for a better grade & had a good laugh especially because they always show me memes."

However, she did go on to explain that the stickers were for older students, which makes perfect sense for those teens who tend to be heavily involved in social media.

"I just wanna clarify, I teach high school seniors. I would not do this with younger students. This is the culture in my class we've built and because of that, they loved it. My fellow teachers loved it too," she explained.

"I teach a media studies English class, we literally study/analyze the media and write! Social media, trends, news, politics, music, film... the meme stickers were definitely appropriate for my class."

It comes as no surprise that Ainee received heaps of praise her amusing and innovative marking system, with one follower commenting: "This is going to help students learn. They pay way too close attention to what's going on in them phones to ignore meme stickers. Good stuff IMO."

"This upcoming generation don't know how lucky they are to have lit millennials as teachers lol," a second added.
