    If I had done that in my classroom, I'd hear those words more than ever.

    The most effective way to deter that is for the teacher to say them too until it's too cringe for them. sans-troll

    I genuinely cannot imagine what it's like being a teacher these days. Don't get me wrong I think teachers are one of the truly great public workers and ought to be venerated like other public workers. However, I can't even begin to think about how to teach young people in the modern age. The overlap of social media, accessibility of information, generative AI that could do homework, parents totally disengaged and expecting teachers to raise their kids, all that stuff seems super damn hard.

      In the imperial core there are cases where teachers are genuinely closer to the police than to their stated goal in terms of class struggle. And this is coming from the perspective of somebody who knows a lot of them very closely. If socialism comes to the imperial core there's gonna be a need for a complete overhaul of the school system and I'm afraid most teachers will side with the reaction

        I’m wholehearted agreement. Some teachers are really putting the work to enlighten young minds in spite of institutional opposition, and others are sadly just guards at the checkpoint for the school to prison pipeline. Which is of course really saddening and generally a bummer. It’s really a shame so many modern classrooms are preparing kids for a MEGACORP overlords ruling over them and not equipping them with problem-solving, curiosity, creativity, and reasoning skills. Because of course the overlords don’t want that sort of shit in their underlings

      Near my kids school there's a central market which is popular for play dates because it has a giant playground in the back attached to a kitchen where you can get food and drinks. I did a playdate a week or two ago with one of my sons friends after school. There was a PTA meeting that evening around 5:00 and while getting ice cream around 3:30ish we randomly ran into one of the faculty members who was sitting at the wine bar already clearly having indulged a few. I could tell she was a little off put or worried she'd been caught but all I could think was: God fucking bless. I wouldn't want to deal with most of these fucking parents sober either and I can only imagine what she's been dealing with all day.

    This is definitely a joke, maybe the students took the piss and wrote it. No teacher would write "gooning" on their whiteboard.

      I think the teacher wrote the words on the left and a student added the words on the right. The handwriting is different. Look at the letters 'y' and 'a'

    I’m never happy to visit the state of Ohio either but outright banning discussion of it feels harsh
