Our school used to ask children who were late questions about maths, but those that they can’t answer yet. And then they made kids write down that they don’t know math. My 11yo classmate (who was always great at math) was crying after this.
Oh god, my elementary school was hell.
I remember this one music teacher who, for some reason, REALLY fucking hated autistic kids. I would know, because everyone in my weird therapy group was targeted while everyone else was ignored.
I saw her physically drag a kid out and threaten to get him suspended because he was to scared to dance solo in front of his peers.
There was also “lunch detention,” and they didn’t fuck around with that. They didn’t isolate the students like that, they fucking shoved them in a separate room and forbade them from sitting together or talking. They slowly brought in several teachers and eventually the principal, and they all, one by one, told us that we were horrible, reprehensible people who would never be successful.
And you wanna know HOW you got lunch detention? Not finishing your work on time, even if it was a one-time thing.
State sanctioned child abuse
‘Child abuse’
Y’all are insane.
It may not be child abuse but honestly, some of this shit is fucking insane and harmful to the students than it is helpful.
no offense but fuck adults who are like ‘you kids never just go outside and play anymore’ where the hell in my schedule of going to school for 7 hours, coming home and doing 3ish hours of homework, going to extracurriculars, and finding time to sleep do i have time to go outside and fucking frolick in the streets
Not to mention that teens who do spend time outside are seen as trouble-making or deviant for doing something as simple as using the fucking swings at a park.
Adults: Teens never go outside anymore.
Teens: *go outside*
Adults: ITS A GROUP OF TEENAGERS THEY MUST BE OUT CAUSING TROUBLE
Six hours of homework a night the entire time I was in school and three separate occasions I’ve gotten questioned by the police just for walking home but yeah it’s those damn lazy millennials
This is a fucking mood.
And the reason that when I have kids, if the teacher overloads them with homework I will be having a very firm, stern meeting with them asking them exactly how they can fail so terrifically at teaching my child in the time they are given, and continuing by asking them if they assume any profession on the entire damn planet consumes 8+ hours of time in-office combined with 6+ hours of time out of office doing paperwork at home.
This is especially true since, if my future kids have ANY of my predispositions, they’ll have too many hobbies and vocations to deal with even on a normal schedule.
With that in mind, if a teacher wants to be willing to work with said kid (”Look, I want to build a catapult. If I show my work, will you count it as a homework grade for this unit?” etc etc) then I have no problem; the issue I have is forcing some kid to repeat the same set of the same problems in an attempt to force rote memorization in the direct face of the fact that such measures are less than effective compared to other means of education.
if a professor brags about how hard it is to pass their class then drop the class. they should not be proud of being bad at conveying information to students. you’re not paying thousands of dollars to fail. find a professor that wants you to pass.
