Now you're supposed to motivate kids. You know every time you tell them to try hard and do good its an absolute lie. The world has proven it.

You guys are saints.

The motivations have changed. Now you just have to tell kids to get rich so that their stupid kids can only fall upwards.

"As long as you have money, your drooling idiot child will be able to do anything they want, including ego-tripping into being the president. So remember to work hard and gently caress over everybody else."

I think the biggest difficulty would be convincing kids to put off immediate gratification for long term gain, given that we are edging closer and closer to nuclear annihilation, resource depletion, aristocracy, and cronyism. Basically, nothing that you do will prevent the destruction of the earth and you're hosed if you didn't start out on top or have solid connections. So, work hard and for the betterment of mankind because your corporate overlords sure aren't gonna, I guess?

Lolling my loving rear end off. I quit teaching after 15 years... well, about 2 years ago. And not a fucken day goes by that I don't thank black jesus and nuclear flavored allah that i got the gently caress out of that racket when it was just THAT BAD.

Motherfucker, i used to have to teach government and american history! Just try to imagine you're getting paid your 38 cents an hour for your job where they cut the nuts off your union so your insurance covers nothing, and they killed tenure, and you have to get up in front of a class every day with a textbook written by the motherfucking american jesus coalition and teach kids how loving checks and balances work, how congress passes laws, and about the fucken dignity of the executive office loooooooooooooooooooollll

ewvery day in the classroom is just like WELP

even as early as 7-8 years ago, a lot of 12 year olds i saw had the thousand yard stare. like they never saw either parent because they had to work 4 jobs in post 2008 america, their older sibling busted rear end to get the good STEM degree at the expensive school, and came back home defeated to live with mom, and they KNOW this poo poo-rear end nation doesn't have anything to offer them. kids are way smarter than anyone gives them credit.

LOL, just LOL at dedicated, serious, hard-working, and committed people who devoted their lives to producing good science to help people, because gently caress you, maybe Monsanto will pay you 38 cents an hour to huff VOCs and then fire you when some 22 year old with $800,000 in college debt agrees to do your job for 37 cents an hour.

I don't talk about the world and current affairs with my dad anymore because it depresses him and makes him almost cry for the future of my nephews. He literally said once that if he thought the current state of things was as hopeless as I do that he'd almost feel morally obligated to smother them in their sleep.

Then I asked him if he believed that we were going to take any of the necessary steps in time to change the disastrous course our species has set for itself and he just went silent for a minute or so and then said that he just had to have hope that a thing would happen and make everything better and then changed the subject to the weather.

At least when I'm old and poor and destitute it'll be because I spent my adulthood doing super cool poo poo and not because I invested all of my money and then had it wiped out completely in the inevitable global economic collapse that everyone says is just a few years from happening.

Like seriously if basically the whole world told you that the smart thing to do was to invest in tickets on the RMS Wise Retirement Investment Strategy and then turning around and saying holy poo poo the RMS Wise Retirement Investment Strategy is full of holes and heading straight for an iceberg wouldn't the sanest course of action be to just say gently caress it and go ride bikes?
