  • Mate, my first year teaching was the year after the district decided to combine several high school across multiple gang lines. Reality and Dangerous Minds have nothing in common, brw.

    It’s nice that you got experience in a specialized setting with children from privileged backgrounds in a school designed to meet their needs (not as a teacher even? as a student?) That’s not what most schools like.

    You do not understand anything about teaching in a public school. That’s okay. But you can’t pretend you know anything about it. My job is a profession and i am a professional with skills and expertise specific to this environment. Can you imagine someone with no training or experience telling you about how your job works? For lemmings - if someone with zero experience in sysadmin was telling you to just use simple blacklists?

    but sacrifices must be made for the corporate machine to turn out adequately educated fodder.

    Eat shit and die, please.

  • Do you work with thirty children at a time? Are you aware of the fact that children in groups in public act differently from children in their home with their parent? You are totally going to be the “no, Johnny doesn’t throw things at home!” type aren’t you?

    I have done lockdowns which weren’t school shooter related. It does not matter how well you “train” them. When there are 30+ kids, one of those phones is coming out to be a flashlight, another two are being used to livestream…

    Also - school shooter situations are not every day situations. I can tell you in the everyday world, they are absolutely antithetical to any learning. Adults can’t keep off the fucking things at work trainings, why would you not flip through TikTok during math class? They all want to be streamers, so they will insanely stupid and harmful things to get it recorded. They will share awful pictures of each other and say awful things. They will take random phone calls, which are always “from their parents.”

  • Notice how you had an IEP? Some students also have a 504. There are already systems in place to handle the issue you are describing. I have had 504 kids responsibly use their phones to do things like monitor insulin. Most students this does not apply to.

    What do you think happens when 500 kids call the police station at once?

    What do you think happens when the kids start talking on their phone during a lockdown?

    Children do not need 24/7 access to phones.

    I’m sorry, but if you have not run a lockdown drill, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

  • Why do people say this?

    You WOULD NOT WANT CHILDREN TO HAVE THEIR PHONES DURING A SCHOOL SHOOTING. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ANYONE WHO SAYS THIS UNDERSTANDS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING ABOUT CHILDREN.

    School classrooms have phones if you need to call the police. Multiple children calling is not good and would tie up the line. Children talking on the phone to their parents while they need to be huddled up in a silent and dark classroom is the most obvious fucking problem that anyone who says this shit must have a room temperature IQ.

    Not to mention how many of them would be live-streaming it.

    Since my state banned cell phones, it has been night and day with behavior. They aren’t recording each other in classrooms, they aren’t blasting TikTok’s while I’m trying to teach. There’s no reason for children to have 24/7 access to the instant dopamine and bullying machine.

  • What do you think about her IRL inspiration, Divine?

  • I think what you are getting at is that “sanity” is socially constructed.

    A person who claims they talk to God is treated very differently than a person who talks to the voices in their head, such as being forcibly incarcerated or institutionalized.

  • De facto, discrimination against trans people is essentially legal now. The EEOC has been directed not to investigate complaints about gender identity.

    Oklahoma, before Trump was elected, was found to be flagrantly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by essentially using jails to house people in mental health crises. The DOJ ordered Oklahoma to make changes then, but essentially nothing has happened. The state department of mental health does not currently even have a receptionist - there are no investigations into physical or sexual abuse at inpatient facilities.

    Across the board, there is no longer any guarantee for basic civil rights in the United States. Unless you are a sane healthy straight white Christian cis man, you are a second class citizen.

  • I’ve seen some adorable videos of Violent J supporting his furry kid.

  • Tumblr just likes excuses to ban trans women.

  • Yeah, I think the Heritage Foundation and a few other groups are deliberately recruiting and paying people for anti trans propaganda. Consider how Riley Gaines has made an entire career out of tying with someone for fifth place at a swim competition.

    There’s a phenomenon of fake detransitioners as well. Maia Poet and Chloe Cole.

  • The first four are decent monster of the week fare.

    The last three remind me of bad fanfiction. The attempt to pull it all together into some sort of grand storyline is pathetic. The Horcruxes and Deadly Hallows crap was clearly pulled out of her ass at the last minute.

  • Sex bots make zero sense to me.

    The entire appeal of sex is that there’s another person involved! Two (or more) humans working together to make each other feel good!

    Like, if you’re not going to have another real human involved, why not just a vibrator/dildo/fleshlight?

  • There’s a huge phenomenon of people who are experts in random fields pretending that it gives the competence to speak about trans issues.

    Eg, Helen Joyce is a mathematician but has made her entire career into being aggrieved about trans people.

  • Her anti trans stuff was also a good warning sign.

  • When someone says something like this, even in frustration,

    All teachers have vented in a way that you would probably find disturbing.

    The same way people in the medical profession make dark jokes. Sometimes people vent like this to cope.

    Now, putting it in text shows a shocking lack of judgment.

  • See the knitting debacle… where SciShow put out an episode about the science of knitting which was poorly researched and it was clear that they had consulted zero knitters.

    I’ve always really liked SciShow - to the point I’ve assigned some episodes to my students - but it’s just embarrassing when it would have been trivially easy to hit up Ravelry and run the video past people who won’t call yarn “string.”

  • A lot of straight cis men seek out gay trans men, as if we are just tomboys. Getting called “she”/“her,” dealing with their insecurities about being attracted to a man, a general denial of who I am…

  • Any KF fans also watching the Onion show? I’m curious what people think about it versus some of Dan and Jordan’s concerns.
