When my freshman year German teacher left and the new teacher came, it was found out apparently the old teacher was trying to teach us 'Pennsylvania Deutsche' (Amish). Not German. I have literally never gotten over that. THIS GUY WAS TEACHING THERE SINCE THE 90S AND NOBODY. NOT A SOUL EVER NOTICED!!!!!

(This is like trying to teach the modern English language using unaltered Shakespeare)

that is in a way so fucking hysterical. im surprised no one noticed. did you guys not have language standardized tests? either way, thats so amusing omg.

I was today years old when i found out the phrase is "bury the lede" and not "bury the lead."

I also just found out what "lede" means.

shaking crying screaming trembling school is Important school is Necessary school is fucking Government Mandated how are we letting this Happen how are more people not Talking About This

the goal is to literally prevent “leftist indoctrination” via public education how are we just fucking letting this happen?????

how are we letting the schools close down because they don’t have enough teachers???? how are people sitting complacently as public schools literally shut down across the country? how are we allowing teachers to teach in a 40:1 classroom???

how are we letting the requirements for teaching get so bad that no one wants to do it???

we are literally living in a dystopian society and nobody is doing anything about it

Oklahoma is realizing their Far-Right Superintendent doesn't know how to actually help their kids get better test scores.

Every single day that goes by I become more and more convinced that the most important class I have ever taken was AP Language my junior year of high school. The content taught in that class should be mandatory in all schools.

sometimes i think about my elementary school’s insane (and oddly varied) way of handling neurodivergent students

like in first grade there was this boy who would tell people to their face what he didn’t like about them and rather than have the person who was literally there to give him extra support you know, give support to him, her and our teacher told the rest of us that we had to just let him insult us

a few years later my impulsive self was put in fucking friendship club to learn about my emotions and how to “properly” express myself without, mind you, informing my parents about it

Gonna have to be A LOT more specific

did your school have a bathroom incident/scandal?

[cleradinthealps]

nothing like american public schools. within two days a kid has been arrested for bringing two giant bags of edibles to school, another was arrested for threatening to bomb the school, and a kid was wheeled out on a stretcher during fifth period

anyone else remember getting an icepack from the nurse in elementary school and it was a frozen wet paper towel in a bag

Despite being a US American myself, I never attended US American public school. (I had the arguably even more US experience of my parents being allowed to just not educate me but that's a story for another time)

So there's certain cultural things that I never experienced that baffle the shit out of me. For example: Hot dog style vs hamburger style. Wtaf?? I never encountered this until my late teens and I'm not 100% certain people aren't punking me that it's a real thing.

one of my math teachers in high school didn't like teaching math

thats about it

i feel like everyone knows at least one math teacher that hates math. they either hate it or love it and there is no in between
