Evergreen reminder; collective punishment is a crime against humanity and your teacher belongs in the hague.
Also fucking idiotic. Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid, or rather encourages them by giving them the incredible power of fucking up the day of several dozen other kids?
Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid
The key thing here is that this isn't designed to directly discourage the kid, the purpose of doing this is to get the other kids to let's say do some creative persuasion techniques to not do that again. You might recognize this as one of the stereotypical methods that a military would do when dealing with problem soldier, punish the whole unit/squad instead of the single soldier.
If that kid continues to intentionally fuck up the day of every other person in the class the rest of the class gets sick of it and beats their ass.
Or, in reality, it changes the actions of the asshole from a funny thing all the other kids laugh at and encourage to an annoying thing where everybody else tells them to fuck off because it keeps ruining their day and they stop because they aremt gettingnpositive reingorcement from it.
Are we really gonna do another round of the "homework is fascism and bedtimes are against human rights" struggle session.
Eh, still not a fan of getting punished for something someone else did, even if I understand the logic
I think if most people reflect honestly they probablly weren't as blameless as a shit head pre teen towards their teachers as they liked to tell themselves at the time.
The reason the teacher punishes the whole class is if the whole class is giggling and egging on the problem student.
If the rest of the class is also sick of the kids shit it becomes way less of an issue.
Like, I understand how it works, I just don't think it's right. Then again, teachers don't get paid enough to deal with this sort of thing
Honestly not to string up my boots too tight but I don't think it's a bad thing to instill in children the shotty decisions of their peers affects them negatively.
I dont think we should be locking up kids or doing corporal punishment but I don't think it's the worst thing to understand there's assholes among them that society has to protect against and its a big reason for a lot of negative aspects of their daily life.

Some bad teachers do lose their cool and actually encourage further distraction in the classroom; usually just rolling with it for a few moments lets the incident fizzle out on its own.
Some kids are assholes (the outright bullies, for example) and being patient and cool with them often doesn't help, either. There's no easy answers for the asshole kids, but knee-jerk "no veggies for dinner, no bedtimes" spite positions are definitely the kinds those asshole kids would also go for.
Or it unites the class in solidarity against the teacher.
Plus the kid almost certainly has adhd or something and the teacher is trying to turn the class on them for being nd.
In my experience it was always a kid being a shithead. Kids are unrepentant assholes especially if you put 20 of them in the room and try to make them learn something. In my extremely consistent experience they're the same shitheads that complains school didn't teach them anything useful despite the fact I was sitting next to them in the class where that was being taught but they were just playing the penis game instead.
I have never seen or heard of a teacher punishing a class for the shortcomings of an ND student, that reads an awful lot like climate protestors are bad because every vehicle is being driven by an incorrectly chatged innocent individual on his way to a parole hearing.
We had ND kids in my school, I got along with most of them they were all stoked when we got to the seperated classes and we could actually focus on learning physics because the teacher didn't have to argue with students that they couldn't dip in class and they had heard them call her a removed everytime she walked by their desk.
The dickhead in my class was just being an attention seeking dickhead. Yelling "Sieg heil!" and goose stepping for laughs and views in the middle of class wasn't due to ADHD, he just wanted people to notice him. He's 30 now and a bouncer/deadbeat dad.
Had it happen in a class I was in and the reaction was we may as well all be assholes to the teacher then
Sounds like the teacher was right to treat you like a bunch of assholes then.
Had it pulled on classes I was in in Jr high, we figured out that if that's the threat we might as well all be disruptive. Collective punishment is a great way to foster collective resistance, what are we gonna do, beat the kid that got us in trouble in his bunk with bars or soap in socks who probably was doing something that made us laugh or the teacher who we all probably hate already and is the one who made that choice?
I just rolled with those moments and often they resolved themselves if I kept my cool or even joined in.
One example was a kid that was outright breakdancing before the first bell right in the middle of the classroom.
I (truthfully) acknowledged he was amazing but that he had til the second bell to clear out. He spun on his head and shoulder like a top and the first kids to come in had a good time watching before they started sliding desks into place.
I hope its an English class where their next assignment is writing a persuasive essay and one student's topic is "why our teacher should be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity"
I'm old enough that saying these words around my young nephews and nieces gets such a funny reaction. I'm on the frontlines of making these words uncool you're welcome
Hello, nephew! Why, you look full of rizz today, young fella!
I'm a grown ass adult and this is so fucking hilarious for some reason...
I’m firmly millenial but the idea of some 10 year old belting out the lyrics of his generation is so fucking funny
I'm an "elder millennial" and can still remember some of the dumb shit kids did when I was in school. This is so fucking on brand.
We had this dumbfuck asshole who started singing The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang. He shouted "Stick your hand down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts!" in the middle of the teacher's lecture, who was also a dumbfuck asshole and proceeded to lose his shit and they got in an argument for like half an hour over whether or not it was okay to sing songs in class.
Middle school was largely a waste of time. High school too, but also middle school.
One of my best middle school stories(and best is subjective since kids can be mean) but in 8th grade history I had class with one of the class clowns. He was a good dude but when he got going he couldn't stop. I forget what he was doing, like a silly voice or fart noises but the entire class was the teacher telling him to stop and him simply not obliging. The teacher ended up having a breakdown and started crying and left the room. A sub showed up right when class was dismissed. It was wild.
It was kids being kids but I also think about it occasionally and it reminds me to try to be good to people. I can get carried away on humor, not that bad but it was a good way of learning how to gauge the room.
Middle school was literally the worst, at least in high school I could cut class and go somewhere
I still have memories in high school German class of the class clowns screaming at the top of their lungs "ICH LIEBE DICH" with a hard C
I took French. Our teacher was a single 40-something year old that still lived with his mom but he was alright. I asked him how to say a lot of the dirty words and he actually told me a few. I also asked how to say Cannibal Corpse because that was the semester I dipped out and went to Chicago to see them lol.
Side note but our youngest will use a hard C when he tried to talk and it makes him sound like a tiny drunken German trying to speak broken English lol.
Skibidi toilet is a millennial-coded meme
Zoomers hate it bc it's "too stupid" and not edgy or political enough to have a dedicated punchline
it looks like it was made in orange box and it's the scatman singing nonsense, both things that materialized and got popular respectively, around 2010
The Boomer --> Millennial --> Alpha and
Xer --> Zoomer --> ???
chain continues
high dopamine contentness and convolution of randomness vs. softer muted (but sometimes very hyper) aestheticsI know a gen alpha kid who inhales skibidi sigma memes all day and this kid is the embodiment of pure chaos.
Based off sample size of 1 and their memes, I’m going to say they will be the mad max generation
Skibidi! (They leap and perform a miraculous yet meaningless feat and explode in a ball of fire)
mad max generation
The last generation of humans may already be alive right now and will bear witness to the end of civilization.
In my experience, if I just rolled with it, or even briefly joined in, my sheer old people energy would divert the momentum and class would resume.
"Mooom, today the teacher asked what would we wanted to be when grown up, and I told him "rich and famous like Elon Musk" and he started twitching and saying stuff like "double colon corporate art, double colon stonks, double colon pathethic""
im trying to think of weird ass phrases/words from when i was in high school. 1337 h4xx0r?

They're not wrong about how much being 13 sucks (source: I was once a child)
I actually enjoyed being 13, it was more being 16-17 that sucked for me from what I remember.
Totally other way around. 13-14 sucked hard 15 on was pretty okay, probably cause that's when I started skateboarding
Middle school is the woooooorst. Thats the peak of "kids are brutal" and bullying and shit. For me things started to chill out more each year of highschool. But 6th-8th were just awful for me.
Thank God I have been 6 years out of High School. Absolutely hated everything about it. I feel sorry for kids these days.
The term kids these days has been forever ruined for me by boomers following it with some bullshit reactionary drivel.
Can I ask what you mean by reactionary in this context? I've been seeing lots of people say that lately.
It's the opposite of "revolutionary"; when the ruling class in a country opposes revolutionary movements stay in power.
When a capitalist state (ie. ruled by the capitalist class) is in decline (rising costs, worsening working conditions, etc), workers tend to unionize and organize into political parties with the goal of overthrowing capitalist rule.
Capitalists react to this (reactionary) by shifting the blame onto already marginalized people to scapegoat them so they can stay in power, which leads to fascism if capitalists manage to stave off a working class revolution; hence why socialists say fascism is capitalism in decay. This is what happened to the Weimar republic for example and is what led to Nazi Germany.

Kids these days aren't even taught who Marx was in school! Smdh
The kids have always had stupid shit they repeat, but also the kids who repeat that shit have always been insufferable.
Gen alpha are collectively in the annoyingly uncool teenager trying to be cool phase

A surreal nonsensical meme that's popular among kids. LIMC's video on it

There will always be an asshole student or two like this. They're really giving the funny toilet show a bad name, though.
