Sometimes grading with a red sharpie just isn’t enough.

Inspired by the similarly titled blog-turned-sitcom, Shit My Students Write has turned students’ hilarious misspellings and completely inappropriate sentences into one of the funniest Tumblr accounts around.

There’s no way to tell if the posts are actually written by students, but that hasn’t stopped thousands of people from liking, reblogging, and commenting on dozens of the typos. With two years of archives to work with, the Daily Dot compiled our favorite posts, from the ridiculously racist to the just plain funny.
