https://twitter.com/scarletwitchwc1/status/1019209625248370688?s=19 The worst part is like, it would be a pretty funny joke and would've still gone viral if she'd just claimed she came up with it, not a magical 13 year old familiar with music from 20-30 years ago, when her mother was a teenager.

Teachers telling stories about their ~wacky~ students are almost as tedious to read/listen to as parents gushing about their genius/woke toddlers. Even if that happened it's just theaterkid.txt where they mistake being random/weird as having a personality.

Because efficiency is what drives English teachers when planning lessons.  This is the most believable part of that entire ridiculous post. My teacher had us read different parts like that when I was in high school. I remember doing the opening scene of Hamlet like that.

Pretty sure we did exactly that when I studied it. Shakespeare really shouldn't be taught in English classes IMO. Save it for drama lessons and give the kids Sherlock Holmes to read instead.

I can't find the original right now but there was some middle aged dude who had a blog and talked about how he kept hitting on this waitress until she eventually called the cops on him or something and had him kicked out. He also wrote long screeds about how young women should want to gently caress him because, as an older man, he had longer telomeres and that would give her (or possibly children from him? I don't remember exactly what the nutball wrote) longer lifespans.

Bertrand Hustle posted:Because efficiency is what drives English teachers when planning lessons. 8th grade we did Romeo and Juliet alternating roles. Then once we hit 12 grade AP English we did Glass Menagerie with assigned roles. The guy who did the girl did his best Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the guy who was the male suitor put on a falsetto. Edit: we did Othello the same way but nothing memorable sticks out from that one.

We did Romeo & Juliet that way, but nobody did any funny voices. It was just half-literate 15-year-olds droning through the dialogue in the most boring way possible.

Peanut Butler posted:hahal what OK but it sucks to read it, especially when you have no basic drama background. Most people I know have read Romeo and Juliet in HS, and maybe Hamlet and/or Macbeth, and they hated it. It doesn't help that a lot of the jokes etc. don't make sense unless explained to you because the language and idioms are so old. Spending 2 weeks on it in an English class is almost useless. Ah, yes, because if a guy keeps bumping into me in a line, and then crouches down to actually kiss my rear end when I tell him to kiss my rear end, the fact he recognized what I had said in my native language will definitely make me find it funny instead of cementing that he was bumping into me on purpose for perverted reasons.

I dunno, I can legit believe someone did this. Some people don't care about burning bridges when they quit. And while all the "millennials are ruining X" stuff is ridiculous, my mind has kinda been blown by how many people think internet stuff is work appropriate these days. I do a lot of shitposting but I keep that separate from my work, where I try to be professional. (to an extent) But man, a ton of the younger people I work with seem to think that emojis are the best choice of language for any and all occasions and printing out memes at work is like the funniest thing to do ever.
