Wanted: The Usual Suspects of Classroom Slip-Ups

This teacher found a brilliantly funny way to handle those “oops, I forgot my name” moments on quizzes. Instead of the usual reminders, they set up a “mugshot” wall where each student who forgets a detail—like their name or a negative sign—earns a spot. The wall features playful photos of these “offenders,” each one proudly labeled with a lighthearted “crime.”

Students can’t help but laugh as they see their classmates join the ranks, and the friendly nudge serves as a memorable reminder to double-check their work. It’s a hilarious way to turn minor slip-ups into a shared joke and a lesson in accountability.
