Teachers have become an example of people who are not hustlers or go getters, because people who are obsessed with the hustle stopped brain development at 16 years old when they had to be around teachers

No idea where you got the 49% figure from, but I seem to recall you're a teacher, so you'd have a better idea of the numbers than me. I hope Gene follows through and bans you. Just apologize for saying something so stupid, jeez.

It's a lot of things (lack of maturity, inability to empathize, etc), but it's mostly just sad. Maybe if you grew up with bad teachers you would think this? edit: no its the student who grew up with bad teachers who is wrong for not recognizing that not all teachers are bad, lol edit2: and someone posts some hyperbole and they are required to provide proof of their claim or face a ban in gbs? Because it happened to intersect with a mods job and a few former mods hobbies? A Bakers Cousin fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Sep 22, 2021 |

Local Weather posted:That being said, I have in-laws and relatives that are currently teachers or have retired and I can assure you none of them are pedos. For what it's worth I was never molested in school and I am pretty sure no teacher I ever had has ever been accused of molesting kids. But like any reasonable person I think teachers are amazing because I have seen that they basically give their entire lives and part of their salaries to the cause

A Bakers Cousin posted:Maybe if you grew up with bad teachers you would think this? You could say that about any group and why some people could dislike them. It's just not true. And it probably is unfair to ban for hyperbole about teachers but I think lots of us are used to arguing with right-wingers about how bad teachers are that some of us tend to get a bit defensive.

If you're a grown rear end adult with a working, somewhat rational brain, you would realize that demonizing or otherwise disliking an entire profession because of your own anecdotal experience is also an immature view, regardless of how valid your own experience is to your life.

I remember reading on reddit or somewhere a while back a thread asking questions and one of them was "why don't adults respect the opinions of teenagers?" It's not something you can understand until you actually aren't a teenager anymore. I distinctly remember a point in my mid-20's when I was like "oh wow, my parents weren't actually idiots after all...it was I who was the idiot." It just takes time and experience.

A big problem is that teachers are both disrespected and taken for granted as parents expect them to be basically babysitters, and thus don't care to actually pay attention to what they're doing unless they're telling little jakaylyn that black people don't breathe fire or that jesus never endorsed trickle-down economics.

I think another reason for teachers being disrespected beyond just simple right-wing stuff is that the generations before boomers had an almost absolute deference towards teachers and authority when it came to control over children. When boomers grew up they realized that teachers were just like everyone else and that hitting kids and mentally abusing them wasn't kosher any more. I know that when I was a kid the teachers were left in shock when my parents gave them poo poo for being assholes. Even in the mid 80's teachers and principals were generally taken on their word against children. I think right-wingers have run with this to the extreme end in order to get rid of public schools. Teachers are a real sore spot in society right now because A. They often spend more time with our children than we do. B. A bad teacher can stick out in our minds whereas we tend to forget that most were OK to Great and C. Basic facts are now hot button topics and teachers can impose their political bent in the classroom or it can be imposed from the outside. I don't envy teachers.

Real talk, when I first noticing some young people doing ironic memes in the early 2010s, I was very confused and just couldn't follow what they were doing. Used to be you just put big text over funny pictures. The new ironic, self-referential, post-modern memes made no sense to me. Took me like years to "get" it.

My 15-year-old niece wore a linen sport coat, button-down shirt, and necktie to a pool party. And she used a four-in-hand knot instead of a half-Windsor!

My algebra teacher in highschool was openly dating a student that graduated the year before. But the rest of my teachers were married to adults, so anecdotally, teachers mainly aren't pedophiles

I am kinda guilty of this. Reading online is just easier but a better point would be that school probably makes kids hate reading books due to summer reading and poo poo. Is there a The Hatchet fanbase out there? I must know!

Some of my favourite books ever were ones I was assigned to read in high school. I know I was the outlier tho. Most students loathed the books. The Great Gatsby is one of my favourites, I think it's brilliant. I loved the assignment to write our own chapter in the style that was meant to slot in somewhere in the book. Most people seemed to start hating books around that time haha.

They're also re-doing crooner stuff. It's kind of like a nostalgia for a time that we never experienced. Young people are re-doing stuff in a very cool way Ginger Root - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-WTfP3WJc4 Phum Viphurit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84-NvRbtfrQ IMO Rap has stagnated in much the same way that rock did. It's still super popular and catchy but very formulaic.
