Keeping the attention of children is not easy anymore, especially in the classroom. Pairing the short attention spans of children with all of the distracting technology out there makes it almost impossible to teach effectively. These days, teachers and other adults need to work even harder to get kids' attention and keep it. There are many ways for people to do this, but using memes might not be the most ideal.

Teachers have struggled with kids and distractions for years now. Kids don't think teachers are cool, and even the so-called cool teachers always have difficult children. Some teachers and other professionals have developed an "if you can't beat them, join them" mentality, but it might not be working. Internet trends, memes, language, and images are starting to appear on the hallway walls and in lesson plans, and it's kind of cringeworthy.

Take a moment to see some of the terribly cringeworthy memes that adults have tried to use to connect with and engage with todays youth. These memes are too far, and once they become mainstream, they aren't cool anymore anyway.
