Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:This reminds me of a situation from high school where we had an autistic classmate who was really into the Titanic. On a long enough timeline, by which I mean more than a minute or two, he'd start spitting Titanic facts. It wasn't his fault, but it also wasn't what anyone else wanted to talk about. At the same time, this was a small school and a very congenial class in particular and we had adopted an unofficial policy of not excluding the one or two neurodivergent kids in the class. No one wanted to tell Milo to stop with the Titanic facts for fear of his feelings, and a teacher jumped on the grenade for us. When Titanic talk was banned, he'd still do it, but less so because he didn't want to get in trouble. It hurts so *bad* to try not to talk about the special interest though, augh.

I know we carefully examine plot holes in most of the made up stories, but for some reason this one gets a pass. Why would a high school teacher, particularly one teaching juniors/seniors, give any mind to what kids were talking about at lunch? Why would they even be present for those conversations? Why would they be grading another teacher's papers? Hardly anything in this story makes sense, but we've got three pages of posters foaming at the mouth about how they were wronged in 6th grade by some teacher.

And generally there was a teacher nearby when we had lunch. And my mom's a teacher who has helped other teachers grade their papers. Maybe you're just not a very good detective.

We had a teacher who'd just hyperfocus on us while eating her lunch and sneak up on any kid who was leaning back in their chair and yank back their chair so they'd think they were falling. I think the world's pettiest little tyrannies were her only joy in life. Eventually the high school classes convinced the teachers to let us eat outside instead and we didn't have to worry about it so much.

I have absolutely no problem believing that a teacher would be this much of a bitch to a student, either neurodivergent or neurotypical. There are some teachers whose only joy in life is being a douchebag to kids for no reason other than to exert control over them. Litany, maybe you only had good teachers? It's not far out of the realm of possibility for a teacher to be that petty and cruel.

In one comment it seems like he said 5 (he may have gotten five beers?), and it seems like he was waiting for a long period before he started which is why he ended up getting so many.

The plot twist on this one isn’t super scandalous or anything, but I genuinely never would’ve guessed it based on the initial post My girlfriend is acting obsessed with this random family she just met quote:I figured I should ask for advice because this situation is really weird and I have no idea how to handle it. Update: my girlfriend is acting obsessed with this random family she just met quote:As a quick summary: I thought something weird was going on with my girlfriend "Maggie" who became quickly and extremely close to her new co-worker "Joe" and his wife "Kate." After just a couple weeks, she was trusting Joe with everything work related, babysitting their children for free and buying them gifts, having the kids call her auntie, putting this family above her other friends, inviting the family to Maggie's family Thanksgiving, and referring to them as her chosen family. I thought that either this whole thing was some kind of cover for an affair or Maggie had attachment issues.

litany of gulps posted:Charters just kick them out and private schools don't even allow them in. I totally get what you're saying here but I was an extremely loving neurodivergent actually crazy kid and private school let me in just fine (and probably gave me a little extra leeway like suspending me instead of kicking me out when I threatened to jump off a bridge and such). Also, yeah, idk, I've had both really awesome teachers, and also teachers who physically laid hands on students, but there's a special place in Hell for the kind of teacher who just loving spitefully hates kids and sees them as a problem to be eradiacted.

Charters just kick them out and private schools don't even allow them in. Also, while It is very true that this kind of behavior is something you could just as easily encounter from a manager at a job as from a teacher in school, it is much easier for an adult to sidestep a personality conflict like this completely simply by switching jobs, whereas for a child in school, not only is there a larger power imbalance, it may be effectively impossible for them to exit the situation, so I'm going to have to push back slightly on the implication that it's somehow unfair to call out this behavior in teachers specifically. mystes fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Apr 15, 2024 |

Literally none of us here are alt-right, and no one here is attacking schools or teachers. I feel as if someone siding with a lovely teacher is likely a lovely teacher themselves. I can't tell if you're a troll, or just very dumb, or both.

If I had a nickel for every time a super thin-skinned teacher freaked out in this thread, I'd have two nickels. It's not much, but it's odd that it's happened twice. Too bad this one argues like a high school debate kid.

[b]AITA for being pissed off our kitchen flooded?quote:My boyfriend flooded our kitchen yesterday. Started running the sink for dishes, got distracted watching tv for like an hour and flooded the kitchen. I’m talking like a good 2-3 inches of water in the whole kitchen. It leaked through to the shop we live above and obviously the landlord was pissed. He said he hopes we have home insurance, we didn’t but my boyfriend bought some last night. Anyways i told him i’m not helping pay for it because its the FIFTH time he has done that! The fifth! And now we might get evicted
