I had a child development teacher who saw me reading another girl's future with tarot cards in class in high school (like every girl that age does at some point) and while she didn't tell me anything directly, I guess she ratted me out to the guidance counselor - she was that kind of Christian and we had to watch movies about how you not only need to give birth when you get pregnant as a teen but also you will need to raise it as well. The next day he called me down to his office during child development class, but it was on completely unrelated business regarding transferring to the local community college (woop woop Running Start) and he was a pretty cool dude who saw that I was 100% ready to leave high school for the last two years for college and helped me out a bunch with the paperwork/application process. He didn't say anything about the tarot cards, but when I got back to class the teacher asked me in a real condescending tone "Did he talk to you about the tarot cards?" And I was surprised and I said "Uh, no" and then I said probably the best comeback I will ever have in my life on the spot and I said "It's okay, people fear what they do not understand" and she had nothing to say that and I went back to my seat and she never spoke to me again.

This is all from High School 1997-2001 "If you get a tattoo or coloured hair, no one will hire you and you will be heavily judged every interview." - My Career and Personal Planning instructor "Men are responsible for 100% of rape. Women are responsible for 0%. It's all males and its all on *you*" points at all the male students. - English Teacher (female) "Playboy models were better when the camera angle was shot from below and angled up. Over time, the camera would keep going higher and the angle lower, so you would be looking down at the model and it makes her look less hot." - Gym Teacher, who was later convicted of grooming, drugging and raping students.

Tarkus posted:Going up in a tax bracket taxes you at the money in that bracket. If there were a bracket at 5000$ and you made 7500 you would be taxed on 2500$ in the 5000+ tax bracket. The tax bracket legend isn't true. The only way it actually kind of happens is in payroll whereby if you make more on one cheque and they deduct as if you made that amount all year. You'll get a return after when taxes are done if you didn't exceed the bracket. It’s worth pointing out that this doesn’t apply to government benefits. If you’re on assistance then sometimes taking a pay raise or even just working more hours at your job can get you kicked off the program, leaving you worse off than you would have been

Having run afoul of both types growing up I can say you're absolutely right. One lie I always got a chuckle out of was my end of year report in P.E. where I was a straight-C student because I'm poo poo at all sports. The teacher comment would read something like "DBD always applies himself as best he can/tries his hardest". Which is a lie for two reasons: A) No I didn't  and B) What you meant to say is "DBD is poo poo at sports but I can't fail someone for having no skill at sports so here's an average mark".

Mrs Lloyd said that the Titanic sank because people said it was a boat so great that even God couldn’t sink it. So God made it sink it out of spite (and pettiness I guess) Mr Cadman said that Asian people have “squinty eyes” because its really sunny in that part of the world and the suns always in their face. He also said that Pokémon and Digimon were made by the same company wtf

Ziv Zulander posted:It’s worth pointing out that this doesn’t apply to government benefits. If you’re on assistance then sometimes taking a pay raise or even just working more hours at your job can get you kicked off the program, leaving you worse off than you would have been This applies to so many benefits programs, at least in the US, that it can be a whole layer of extra bureaucracy people have to navigate. One of the exhausting things about being poor in this country is that so many "assistance" programs are set up so that if you pass some arbitrary level of income you end up getting punished for it. The Medicaid expansion in this state tends to be a little more forgiving than other programs, but it is easy to be in a situation where you get a better job and private insurance and end up having less money because you are now paying more for healthcare than you did on Medicaid (which is close to zero cost for what is quite good coverage). I've known people who have to carefully watch how many hours they work to avoid going over the line and losing their Medicaid health insurance because the other options aren't as good when it comes to coverage and cost exponentially more in real-world terms. Food stamps are perhaps the worst about jumping quickly to punishment for improvement. "Oh, you made $10 more wages last month? Then instead of $300 of food stamps you get $30. Have a nice day!"

I went on food stamps for a couple months a few years ago during a time when my wife and I were both unemployed and had zero income. As soon as you start getting income again, they cut you off. Except between the time we reported having new income and the next pay cycle or whatever, they ended up overpaying like $500 to our card, and they expected that money back. Giving them back the money was not possible to do online, I had to go to the office, take a number and wait in line for two hours. Ok, crappy government office, I expected a wait. When it was my turn, I assumed they would swipe the card and deduct the balance. But no, not possible. I had to wait another long rear end time for him to produce some paperwork to authorize the transaction, all the while acting like the whole thing was a massive inconvenience to him personally. It was insane to me that I could walk into any store in the state and buy $500 worth of groceries with that card, but the office that issued the loving card didn’t have a machine that could accomplish this. Even when you’re trying to give them money, they make it as frustrating as possible.

Do lies from Sunday School "teachers" count? Got into an argument when I was about 12 with one when they said that only Christians have the concept of an afterlife. My pointing out that Islam, Hindu and Buddhism also have something like that was not well received. They asked my parents to not bring me back for any future lessons.

I'll disagree on this one, and I'll teach my kids when they are old enough. You do fight back, and fight back hard. It doesn't matter if you lose. They will not gently caress with you again, and will go for another kid who won't fight back. Maybe you get suspended, but whatever. I won't be mad. In fact, we can have ice cream. It's kind of like how you deal with fascism.

Yeah thanks for that one multiple teachers that wasn't total rubbish that did more harm than good. I had some extremely worrying behavior in elementary school - as in attempting self-harm in the middle of class - thanks to daily bullying and the only thing the school counselor did was tell me that actually it's my fault for being such a soft and reactive target for bullies. Thanks lady, all I learned was that if no one answers my cries for help then it actually isn't a big deal and I should just be quiet, which was a really good lesson a few years down the road when one of the bullies moved on from words to molestation.

Not a teacher I guess but in fifth grade we learned about the heart and such. We got a little booklet telling us that smoking was bad and exercise good. At the same time the book also told us that the colored circles on food packages had secret messages about nutritional value or something.

I got a D in Penmanship on an otherwise straight A report card in 4th grade because my cursive sucked so bad. So my mom made me practice a bunch of extra loving cursive writing at home which was a drag. gently caress cursive. That doesn’t even look like a Q it’s loving 2! And a capital I is a single line, why the hell does it need superfluous loopy canoe shapes in it? I ended up getting kinda good at it though FWIW.
