lol they think the kids won't vote

which is usually a safe assumption but the current crop of high schoolers is extremely online & ncaf

I'd say that when things are fairly status-quo yeah, they don't care, but with a government actively hostile toward anyone that isn't a white cis male over 60, I'd say there's a good chance of them leading something.

better to each other, in a lot of ways. less divided over petty cliquey bullshit because everyone has their own individualized stuff they like on the internet so they relate as unique individuals instead of having an unspoken caste system. mostly, anyway. it's cool and makes teaching them a breeze tbh

autoplay video is one of the worst things to ever happen to the internet and I'm glad video is starting its decline. I seriously have never met a single person who thought 'oh thank god this site is moving to video its exactly what I wanted!'

Someone started calling those born in 77-83 Xennials, making a mini-generation between Gen-X and millennials.

I tell the students that in order to help them succeed, I must implement strict classroom rules. They must raise their hand before doing anything at all, even when asking another student for a pencil. They lose points each time they don’t behave as expected. They gain points by reporting other students. If someone breaks the rule and I don’t see it, it is the responsibility of the other students to let me know. Those students earn bonus points. I tell students that in order for this plan to work they must “trust the process and not question their teachers.” This becomes a school-wide effort. The other teachers and admin join.

lmao the most important lesson for any student is to never trust authority

my favorite autoplay-on-mute is the "related video" on yahoo stock ticker prices that starts going when i check the euro price in the morning and stops sometime in the evening when i close down my browser, i dunno how many gigs they waste on that one each day
