Being back in school is no laughing matter for a number of students, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun and laugh a little. After all, school shouldn’t be as serious as math and science — at least not all the time. That’s especially true now during the pandemic as most students (and their parents!) across the country learn how to navigate remote learning, Zoom classes, and social distance when they’re around classmates. Difficult moments like this call for extra humor to get us through the day, which is why we rounded up some of the funniest school jokes and back-to-school quips.

Institutions of learning can be incredibly stressful places, so it’s important to manage anxiety in healthy ways. Cracking a joke during class every now and then is a great start! Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously, but these funnies will help you take a step back and smell the roses. Of course, it’s important to work hard in your academics, but it’s equally necessary to take breaks and have fun. We have the perfect list of funnies to bust out during your next study session. School is hard enough, so you might as well have a little fun.

Head back into the classroom (virtual or otherwise) with these bad boys, and not only will your peers crown you the Class Clown, but you’ll even get the teacher laughing too.
