Static css file is not connecting properly to documents

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Static files are not loading, or at least my stylesheet is not being recognized.

I would expect for my styles to be applied given that per the documentation I have the stylesheet implemented properly.

What is the actual behavior? A clear and concise description of what actually happened.

My styles were not applied

Post any code you think might be relevant (one fenced block per file) my base html

{% load static %}
<!-- I have load static properly implemented here as per the documentation -->

staticfiles are configured as such in settings.py

# lines 36-44
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'main_app',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
# line 123
STATIC_URL = 'static/'

the static directory is placed as follows:

teacheasy/main_app/static/css/style.css

What is your best guess as to the source of the problem?

Frankly, I have absolutely no idea. I implemented static files exactly as written in the Django documentation.

What things have you already tried to solve the problem?

I tried removing bootstrap from the project in order to make sure it was not due to any conflicts, however that was not the case. I also tried placing the static files in other locations, although I tried this knowing that that wouldn't do anything as the static files are searched on the app level.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Have you tried clearing your cache on Chrome? Sometimes Chrome stores an old version of your stylesheet and you won't be able to see new changes.
