Alan Smithee posted:Yeah I was wondering if Netflix paid 100 million for a movie made in 1920 Wouldn't even be the stupidest thing to happen in the last week. Is the silent bailout still going on? Banks insolvent receiving literally hundreds of billions of dollars for free in the last week? Speedrun of '08 in a month's time.

Koishi Komeiji posted:So it's just a lovely version of VR chat? And your avatar has to be some generic looking cartoony human with no legs? Cause in VR chat you can be a 90 foot tall Hank Hill in a pink dress that shits out little Bobby Hill heads and that's been around for like half a decade now. Your description just made think that the future isn't quite so bad after all.

That's from a site called ClassDojo. It's very popular amount K-8 teachers and is normally used for things like forming groups, selecting students for cold calling, or tracking participation in class. By default it only has positive points which are basically just citizenship type stuff like participating in class, or helping others. So this teacher manually created all these negative categories as a way of, apparently, tracking the unwanted behaviors of their students. Probably the most dystopian aspect of it is that most of the kids REALLY like ClassDojo. The gamifications of social interactions into a point system that their avatar gains scratches many of the same itches that unlocking things in video games does. Gaining a point in ClassDojo comes with an RPG leveling-up type sound effect, along with of course the power of Number Going Up which most people seem susceptible to.

Farm Frenzy posted:it wouldnt be evil if only the kids and teacher could see it but you can totally imagines schools and parents using it for micromanaging oh yeah but treating it like it’s some new gamification of interaction is silly. points systems just use the the basic idea that rewarding good behavior enforces it which might be as old as school. putting the kid on blast online is hilariously lovely tho

Teachers have been using merits/demerits/points for behavior reward/punishment for a long time. The house points in Harry Potter isn't something Rowling came up with. But then you get kids who play the system. I can be this obnoxious before consequences. Or, already getting detention, watch how many demerits I can get.

Gamifying anything is inhumane. It all belongs to the person in power who want to control the poor ones who are their subjects. poo poo should be illegal on grounds of basic decency, if not human rights or equality. And yes, this includes children as well god damnit! Fake edit: let games be games. You can punish bullies with better means than controlling everyone with rules and the incessant rules-lawyering that follows. Like gently caress-a-duck this pushes all my buttons labelled "no rulers, no masters"! ThisIsJohnWayne has issued a correction as of 14:58 on Sep 28, 2019 |

Given just how lovely school is from the perspective of an adult honestly adding one more indignity to the whole experience is just a drop in the ocean. I'm sure some things that were lovely when I was in grade school aren't done anymore and horrible new ones have shown up but it all comes out in the wash. Lest we forget there's the constant threat of being mown down by machine gun fire, I'm not sure the attention marble app is the worst thing about school these days.

If I had a kid and the teacher made them feel bad about using the bathroom I would file so many emotional distress lawsuits that I would be censured as a vexation litigant. That is failing some basic human decency tests.

I cared then, and surprisingly I have the same unchsnged opinion decades later. School should be free from this. Add to that, I went to school in Scandinavia and possibly had a much less restrictive environment than you had. It was still enough for me to disagree with.

One thing to keep in mind when you’re comparing your school experience to today is that almost everyone on this forum was raised in an era before smart phones existed. Meanwhile the kids in school now cannot remember a time that they didn’t have 24/7 hour access to them and their addiction to them would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. I watched a teenager yesterday have a complete meltdown after his phone was confiscated by the principal, complete with bawling, screaming, and punching the ground. Almost all these micromanagey type bullshit things are an attempt to keep kids away from their phones because if given the choice they will do absolutely nothing but sit on them all day, spurning human interaction. The bathroom thing probably spawned from kids disappearing into the bathroom for large chunks of time to use their phone. In my classroom I have everyone place their phone in a little holder thing where they stay until the end of class. Before I implemented this policy almost every kid would leave to go to the restroom at some point during our 45 minute period (I don’t restrict using the restroom). once they couldn’t take their phones with them almost no one goes anymore. When I was entering teaching I had lots of strong feelings about how classrooms should be run based on my own experience of being treated like a prisoner when I was in school. Having been in the profession for a bit now I’ve realized how difficult changing the overall culture can be. By the time the kids come to me they’ve spent years in overcrowded classrooms being treated like a prisoner and that is a hard mentality to overcome
