Passing notes in class was basically the original group chat. Before texting, Snapchat, and whatever app kids are using to communicate behind their parents’ backs this week, students had one reliable method: folding a tiny piece of paper into an increasingly suspicious geometric shape and praying the teacher didn’t intercept it.
Sometimes the notes were sweet. Sometimes they were savage. Most times they contained absolutely nothing of educational value whatsoever.
These are some of the funniest, weirdest, most brutally honest notes teachers have confiscated from students — plus the messages students were bold enough to pass directly to the teacher.
