#UP primary teachers

[theladysunami]

I had a very odd dream where a train (or bus?) I was on got yanked into another world. While my dream had nothing to do with SVSSS, it did have my waking self thinking about how hilarious and/or horrifying such a thing could be as an AU.

Imagine Shen Yuan riding the subway, train or bus one day, when something happens and his whole car gets yanked into the world of PIDW. Nobody else in the car knows anything about PIDW, so Shen Yuan finds himself with the self imposed task of keeping this eccentric group of strangers alive in a weird world full of demons, monsters, and aphrodisiac plants.

The group’s first assumption would probably be that they’re still on modern earth, and just got teleported somewhere. Their second assumption, if they come across common folk, might be they somehow ended up in the past.

Then they run into some monster, or people riding on swords with specific uniforms, or a commoner mentions a name or event only Shen Yuan recognizes. The rest of the party debates what sort of Xianxia or Wuxia world they’ve ended up in, while poor Shen Yuan sweats bullets. He knows exactly what world they are in, and they are so screwed.

I have this image of poor beleaguered nerd Shen Yuan successfully protecting and leading this group of primary school kids, their cute teacher, and a handful of grannies and grandpas, while all the other adults and older teens keep wandering off and getting themselves in trouble.

I really wish more female teachers would understand that there are going to be boys in their classes. Boys are going to feel alienated if they walk into class and see fluffy, pink, Pinterest-perfect decor and furniture all over the room. Boys don’t want all the anchor charts to be filled with Taylor Swift references. I don’t understand the modern obsession with female teachers making their classrooms as obnoxiously girly as possible.

oh I just realized that my interest in anime and my interest in clowns are linked by the concept of "exaggerated silliness". hmm!!!

I love that one of tumblrs favourite pass times is to just post a picture of something and go what do you guys call this thing like we really are just toddlers huh

i am americanised and only found out like this year that british english generally uses single quotes for quotations and you're not meant to put full stops after latin abbreviations (etc, eg) or titles (ms, mrs, dr). obviously i am not a copy editor and it doesn't matter. i will however be memorising the oxford style reference so that i never make a mistake again.

Someone insisting we don't learn language intuitively unless homeschooled...Did...did your parents put in you in school at 18 months of age? Did a teacher go around a room of toddlers with a dictionary saying, "This is what 'mama' means"? Because if the answer to that is no--and it is definitely no--you learned language intuitively, like everyone else. The finer points you learn in school, and later on your own, but even as you're doing that, you're still picking up words and phrases just by talking to people and reading.

one time when I was about five, I finished our assigned reading book in one night when it was meant to last a week, so I asked the teacher if I could have the next book, please, and she told me "no, because that would put you ahead of the rest of the class, and that's not fair to them"

twenty years later, I am still wrestling with the mindset that any success on my part must inherently be to the detriment of others

so. yknow. be careful what you say to children

The best thing about having the same Google Drive since 2014 is being able to read all your old stories.

I'm watching a tv documentary about the school where Samuel Paty, the French teacher who got beheaded by muslim scum, used to teach.

Teachers are being interviewed. They all sound and seem shaken of course but many still try to somewhat excuse the students (some were DIRECTLY responsible by posting about their teacher online and calling him islamophobic) and I'm just like. Wow. One of your colleagues literally got beheaded and I get this is your job and you are traumatized but enough with the feel-good bullshit.

Or is it just for the cameras? Because there is one female teacher who is clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown (and who can blame her) and if she could say what she actually thinks, we would finally hear something truthful.

Like: yeah it's hopeless.

It's over. The damage is done. These kids are rotten to the core and islam is dangerous and everywhere there are muslims, the same awful shit follows. No amount of education, patience and good will can ever change that.

Wake up. I believe that's what this teacher's devastated face is saying. But she can't say it out loud. Even now. Even after everything.

My class responded to our rainbow flag being banned for including a "sensitive issue that shouldn't be touched on in school" by changing to a pan flag and I think that's beautiful
