#for example teachers and students

There's no way to move forward without a reform of the education system but they need to start in city schools bc I (who went to a rural less-than-20-students-total school for the 1st 8 years) am more well adjusted than all of my classmates combined and that's saying something. Considering how I don't even think I'm real and all.
#they act like literal children and reject everyone that doesn't conform to their norma#they believe in a “us vs them” mentality when it comes to everyone#for example teachers and students#our class vs our parallel classes#our year vs the year younger than us#our school vs the other schools#the “normal” people vs the annoying/weird people (aka my friendgroup)#they believe so desperately in a social hierarchy and that being at the top could benefit them somehow#it's very... illogical and superstitious#that's the word. superstitious. like you'll become lesser than if you break the made up rules. if you dare see a teacher as human or deem#people other than the members of your in-group as “normal”#it's all bullshit and counterproductive#everyone is human always so let's not get weird about it

I've gotta make a fake trailer for show/movie turning it into a different genre which theoretically is hilarious and fun, but I'm scared because now the fate of my bachelors degree lies in the hands of a shitpost
#the example they showed from one of last years students had me on the floor#it was stranger things as a gay romcom#this is university work. making a gay youtubepoop is a graduate univeristy assignment.#anybody wanna throw some prompts at me?#I'm thinking either walking dead (of fucking course) or breaking bad#I could make a sitcom twd trailer pretty easy probably#I'd be too embarrassed to do any kinda romance one like. I'm sorry I draw the line at showing my teachers GAY SHIP EDITS.#the bravery of that student last year. I fucking salute you.#stop but can you imagine if I did that with Rick and Negan or Walt and Jesse and got an A#I feel like I have to.

Thinking about how secondary schools usually have three-word Latin mottos on the emblem to show which virtues are most exercised ("Modeste, Strenue, Sancte", "Stet Fortuna Domus"..) so having the original Bully game named Canis Canem Edit was a jab at this system while hinting at what Bullworth's climate is like.
#Im surprised I hadn't noticed sooner???#remembering every moment that emphasised the school motto#gary's 'it's sink or swim' line#and dr crabblesnitch's dialogues about 'fixing' the students#I could list so many examples of each time we see bullying not just in the school setting b/w students#but also teacher to teacher (Hattrick vs Galloway)#and student to adult#parent to parent#it's all about the strong eating the strong now because they've long since pruned the weak#oh and apparently this is not just in British schools as I initially thought#but a lot of other schools (particularly secondary) across America also have Latin mottos#bully scholarship edition#bully cce#canis canem edit#bully game#bully rockstar#bully#bully canis canem edit#cyapityy

im seeing that poll about learning cursive in school a lot on my dash and as a vietnamese im kinda bewildered bc what do you mean you cant read cursive?? because to us cursive is for capital letters only! the rest are normal letters. so ig our normal written letters are the american cursive, and our "computer" letters are your normal letters?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dc354b689f9a90ba7a7454b06ff04025/02b626689ed07909-bf/s540x810/b7c7aabc0a74b36f93807e80c43fd7a822de3d28.jpg)
↑ these are the fonts we learn in school. The left are our normal letters, the right are our cursive. Oh and the thing is, these are the only fonts we actually taught a school, the "typing" font is just what we imitate from printed books. In elementary school we have "good handwriting competitions" where the participants write in the above fonts and are graded on how close it is to the table above. its like boring calligraphy
#unrelated post#my thoughts#almost all of us are taught these in elementary school and as we grow up our writing style changes#i for example have a mix between the ''computer typing'' and the traditional font above#mostly the typing. but i sometimes write in normal letters inbetween for funsies. i switch between 2 types of s the most i think#i was a good writing participant once! or more like the teacher put me in the trained team for the competition#i think it was not bc my handwriting was good but bc i was an excellent student grade-wise and they dont have better choice

I am. Very normal about this arc's depictions on teaching and learning, and how about so far the tests are not about winning the battle but rather what the character have learned so far on their journey as well as in the battle itself, and how the ones giving the lessons are not only the teachers but the elite four and the gym leaders too, turning them into a key part in the learning process of the students taking the terastal course. I am. Very normal about this.
#so far I have not got the time to do it but I really really enjoy this arc and I would like to make a long ramble about it#because something that I really love is the relationship between teachers/school-Gym leaders-elite four. All of these characters play a rol#in giving valuable lessons to the students even as the battle unfolds#the results are not bassed on winning but rather what the student can prove about what they know and most important what the one acting as#the teacher (see: gym leaders for example) at the moment can notice about what the students have learned. Because they do!#this entire arc is hitting close to home in relation to what I see in the teacher training I'm doing* and I love it.#(*Whatever is the english translation for profesorado is.¿?)#pokemon#pokemon horizons

#while im at with all this opinion posting#i think people are very afraid of being or being seen as reactionary luddites that they adopt objectively kinda weird positions#like being extremely skeptical of the idea that changes in educational policy can impact e.g. literacy#<-wrt to the whole can college students read books thing. lol.#and also. granted this has nothing to do with the actual issue. but that teachers response really baffled me...#giving les mis as an example of a book that isn't relevant anymore as if it isnt abt the injustice of poverty/policing/prisons...cmon!!!#its a long book that is difficult to read and i dont think very many people could or would want to read the whole thing in a school term#but its actually absurd to act like its not interesting or relevent like u cannot be serious with that...

also it’s interesting because. my family is deeply unsentimental (in a very powerful way) and society is divided into the pretty heartless or the pretty sentimental (generally speaking) and I’m sort of this walking heart wound of emotion trying to straddle these lines (and having a hard time of it!) but one of the things that does guard me from being more sentimental than I am is the secret cruelty and unfairness that lurks at the bottom of all sentimentality.
#like. schools are just such an interesting example#because they HAVE to combat the cruelty of the world#and there has to be love and warmth and support#especially if the school is a good one or trying to be and especially if the staff cares (which good teachers do)#but all the awards and the celebrations and trying to make things feel special can breed bitterness and resentment and a certain#stale weariness almost?#and yes some of that is just the human condition#it doesn’t mean you should do away with all of them just because you can’t please everyone#some of it is just the nature of the game of it all#but there is something where it becomes cloying very quickly#when wanting to celebrate students becomes detached from quality or high expectations#and even when it is united there is something I don’t like about the continual celebration of one student over another#of the kind of instinctive favorite picking schools do in terms of like ‘these are the golden kids’#and I get it I get it we need things to keep us going too. something to celebrate someone who appreciates us#but it’s just. on some level no! no kid above reproach no kid beyond redemption#because that’s life but it’s also just kids!!!#the only real safe space for me to interact with them is teacher / student and they are allllll my students#and I have a job to do by all of them not just the ones who love me#and many of them do and i love them in return!!#but just sort of letting the love hang in the air without immediately sinking it back into the work#or using it to redirect them#and at some point just stepping all the way back#to see and remind them that my job is to be a door and a guide into something bigger than me#isn’t good. it makes it sour more. and also in some way is me hurting people more#like this senior class is special to me. they just are. and yet to dwell too much on that in my speech (a temptation) actually has all sorts#of pitfalls attendant on it.#including exposing myself to the scorn of the kids who are like ‘who’s that lol’#which is funny and balancing in itSELF#but even if the whole class is on board the wave of sentimentality it actually shuts me off more from the students I currently teach#making that somehow seem less because they are not my ‘favorite’

not saying that post doesn't have good points, but "forcefully silencing a jin ling wasn't a good or fair teaching method" guys did we forget this is a xianxia 😭
#kids are being whipped and forced to kneel for hours#and silenced and forced to copy rules while doing handstands#we have no reason to believe hgj also doesnt forcefully silence his own students when they speak innappropriately#none of the adults here are using good or fair teaching methods by 21st century standards... what's happening sdjkhjdskfjdkf#hgj silencing jl was improper bc he's not his teacher but he's still his senior#which is why jc just tells JL to accept the punishment once he realizes theres no point arguing about it#not saying hgj isn't bitchy <33 he is#but this is a weird example to use when mdzs is full of adults not knowing how to properly discipline children. theyre ALL losers#and that's just how it worked back then#modao#lace speaks

everytimes someone makes an AU that involves grian being architect or architect students i have a war flashbacks to my own collage
like yes, he will suffer and even more trauma that for sure
#the one that grian is architect teacher.... you just assigned him to be canonically mean and sassy if he need to btw...#not every architect techs is actually mean yes but sometimes they just did to like.. mentally prepared their students#for example one time my work have too much space left and my teacher said#“did you left that to build a fucking volleyball court”#anyways.#rambles#one of them just give me side eyes for lining ain't evenly#i got cooked by them a lot#i hate it here#edit: i don't hate it! nothing/neg about this! i just find how it effected me funny-#i hate architect but grian as a arc student is gud

I asked for more architexture in this program,,,,I guess I should be happy
#///#the teacher gave us one example and said ‘’hi go make an entire floor plan (detailed)(I’m grading on how technical it is#I emailed asking for the example he showed in class and he was like no ^^))#I gotta print this by tomorrow ugh#UGHHH#wish me luck— I’m having dun but like this is the first assignment so I’m just 🥲#there’s a mixed bag of experience among the students—like we have seniors so like#he’s not gonna explain everything#but that just makes everything harder for me 😭

i'm gonna be honest i'm doing pretty bad rn. i'll live but somethings gonna snap sooner or later
#germ and disease paranoia mixed with emetophobia mixed with the state of the world#mixed with feeling bad abt feeling bad bc EVERYONE is living thru most of this stuff and is doing fine. they've got jobs and lives and stuff#meanwhile i'm holding on by a thread here.#snapping could be as small as shaving my head or as big as running thru the streets naked screaming i'm not entirely sure#another level of fear for me. what do i do at my breaking point. i've never been there before#but i'm walking on a tightrope rn#it just feels like i get like 5 days out of every month we're everything is okay. and the rest of it is just bad and fear#and i'm expected to use those 5 days to be productive but i have to use it to recharge#and it isn't even enough days to do that#i'm just tired in my head. the last time i wasn't was 5 years ago and that's hitting really hard#and that's an example of what i'm talking about! everyone lived thru covid and they're LIVING THEIR LIVES NOW. i should be able to too#i have no room to complain so many have it so much worse than me#i can't keep having breakdowns in bed at 2 in the morning. it's been on and off for 5 years#when are things gonna be ok again. get good without something else getting worse.#is it ever gonna be that way again? can it please be that way again?#i miss being 10 i miss my old house i miss my hometown i miss when things were simple#i had all these things to do i had friends and was every teachers favorite student and everything felt like it was gonna be alright#now it feels like nothings ever just gonna be ok. i think everything gonna just be wrong forever#i'm gonna go take a shower and try to clear my head i'll be back later#sassy speaks

I hate school but at the same time I wish I was a few years younger so my only responsabilities were do homework, draw animatic, eat hot chip and lie
#asmo.txt#can you tell im having an existencial crisis the closer i am to graduating high school#college sounds so torturous but like my bio teacher said#“it's a few years of your life to live comfortably the rest of your life”#im not really sure how true that is tbh- and we live in latam so imagine the examples i have of graduated college students

english prof just left LOADS of feedback on my essay omg this is so exciting
#personal#the english chronicles#FINALLY!!!!!!!! someone who doesn’t just slap an a on it and call it a day#most of it is picking at me for passive voice use and my really shitty conclusion paragraph BAHAHA we were limited to 3 pages#and i was really struggling to cut it down bc. the prompt i chose involved 7 different concepts like give examples of these concepts in this#short story but i also had to Define and Explain the concepts and then there was also the intro and conclusion and header block and it’s#double spaced like 3 pages is rlly not enough for this prompt if you want to give a genuine critical analysis. so my conclusion was#extremely short and shallow lmfao but yeah. he also left lots of praise 😌 AND! he left audio recording for everyone?? like damn okay you are#a prof who genuinely wants to see his students improve thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻 yes i only got a 90 which i think is the lowest ive#ever gotten on an essay but idc my respect for him just Shot up. also only four of us got A-range grades so i still feel p okay abt that#and i started the essay night of so all things considered this could have gone worse lol#also i got the top score on the exam last week so still riding that high (i needed the ego boost so bad guys 💀) but anyway. i think he’s#retiring after this semester tho this is so tragic he’s also just a rlly fun nice guy in class too like i would 100% take him again#but yeah. i will concede that i fall into passive voice a lot without realizing it so glad he said smth abt it i will be more mindful 🫡#also i guess i did a couple page citations incorrectly it has been a minute since i touched mla and i thought you could either segue into a#page citation like on so and so page they say this OR do parenthetical in-text citation at the end of a quote but he only wants the#parenthetical type ever. not sure if this is a flat rule of mla or just teacher preference i will b looking into this#edit okay looks like flat rule for mla. my bad 🙈 i only did the segue thing twice instead of the parenthetical citation thankfully

so for the past 2ish years that i've been taking this thai course i've been the youngest participant by far and also (mostly) the only girl
and because of that, even tho it's an online course so we're not super close with each other, despite that i still often feel like i have a bit of a status as the group baby (affectionate). and it shows in moments like earlier in class when someone asked about the word "inspiration" and then, when asked to give an example sentence, without batting an eye went "[airenyah] is my inspiration to learn more thai"
y'all. this man is one of the best (if not THE best) student in our course 🥺
#our teacher will also often use my name in his example sentences#or when he's asking the class a question and nobody replies bc nobody has an idea he'll sometimes call on me specifically sjkkjsf#i'm shy but i also LOVE being the group baby ngl#this is the kind of attention that i like skdjkfgjkfd#stories from my thai class#airenyah plappert#btw this is a man who's like 60 lol i feel like the 35 year age difference makes this even more endearing kdfkkjg#also when he said that i started laughing and went ''i'm sorry?? is that so? kdfjkdfj'' and he laughed as well and said ''i'm just kidding'#it was very amusing dfjkdfkdf#like. i didn't think he was being truthful bc as i said he might as well be our best student in class#(or maybe him and me share the no. 1 spot idk. i feel like he's better than me tho)#but the fact that he dropped that as an example sentence without batting an eye had me all dfkjkjdfkjdfg
