It doesn't feel good to get a bad grade on a paper — unless, that is, it's delivered in the form of a funny meme. That's what one teacher in Chicago decided to do when she was less than pleased with her high school English students' work.

"I was just grading and I was really frustrated, and in my head I was just like, I wish my kids could see my face my right now, because the answers they were writing were just incredibly wrong," Ainee Fatima, who teaches a media studies class to high school seniors, told BuzzFeed. "So I was like, let’s print out some memes." She printed out the memes on sticker paper and stuck the stickers on her students' papers.

"I was a student who was a victim to the 'red marker' grading while in school, and it gave me immense anxiety about receiving my paper back in class," she told Teen Vogue. "I do not use a red marker, and I think the memes offer a lighthearted look at getting a bad grade."

  • After nearly two years of athletic ineligibility, 18-year-old Jamal Speaks, a Washington, D.C., teen who's struggled with homelessness, suited up with his football team for a hard-won victory against a rival high school on September 28, according to ABC News.
  • Jamal was deemed ineligible last year, after it was revealed he did not have a permanent home address, according to ABC News
  • And as a result of his school’s persistent concerns over his housing situation, he missed the first few games of his senior season, which began in late August.
  • After an outpouring of support for Jamal, school officials lifted his ineligibility ruling, according to ABC News.

Restrictive school dress codes are often used to unfairly target female students, students of color, and people who religious attire like hijab. There have been countless examples of administrations throughout the United States weaponizing these policies to police their student's bodies and wardrobes.

This week the Chicago Sun reports that one school district in Alameda, California is trying to change how the policies affect students. The Alameda Unified School District created an anti-dress code policy heading into the new year that makes strides to both allow students to wear what they want, and make certain things they can't wear very clear. In a press release Steven Fong, AUSD’s Chief Academic Officer said, “We believe these changes will reduce inequitable and unnecessary discipline and help us maximize learning time."

The policy starts by stating what students are required to wear using general terms and not specifying the type of clothing the need to wear. It states, "students must wear: bottoms, tops, shoes and clothing that covers genitals, buttocks and areolae/nipples with opaque material." It goes on to list the items that students can wear, and they include the very things that have lead to issues in other school's policies. It says, "students can wear: hats, including religious headwear, hoodie sweatshirts (overhead is allowed) fitted pants, including leggings, yoga pants, and “skinny jeans”, sweatpants, shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, midriff-baring shirts, pajamas, ripped jeans, as long as underwear is not exposed, tank tops, including spaghetti straps, halter tops and “tube” (strapless) tops."
