  • When they complain about homework: me making the "I don't care" meme

  • Reminding them of the "3 Universal Laws for a Chill Classroom"

    • I don't want to meet your parents
    • You don't want me to meet your parents
    • Your parents do not want to meet me
  • Watch them copy each other completely wrong answers because I made different exam models and they haven't noticed.

  • "I left my phone home" Then why do I get a "StudentName's IPhone" when I turn the Bluetooth of my phone on??

  • Student fails exam, demands being allowed to take a different model to prove how her first one was extremely hard and the other students got easier questions. Fails again. (Questions were the same but in different order).

  • "I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS ACTIVITY" Student hadn't bothered reading the question.

  • "I don't want to work today" We are on the same boat, buddy.

  • Student didn't do the assignment because grandma had died. Somehow, with the next assignment, said grandma was dead again, for a different reason.

  • "You are weird" 8 months in and you just noticed????

  • "You are so short, I'm way taller than you!" Yeah, so is everyone else, you are not special.

  • (Around Christmas time) "Remember, kids, some of you are one email to your parents away from having a very sad Christmas.

  • Me having to remind them that if they want to cheat, for the love of God, do it properly.

  • Student submitted an essay written with two different pens, different handwriting and grammar well beyond their skills. " Did you write this?" "Yes" "Wanna try answering that again?"

  • "Phone stays with me if you want to go to the toilet" "Why?" "Because I know what you do when you have it. Uploading photos only for your best friends is not a good idea when said friends are in my class".

  • "What do you mean, we have to do the whole page???"

  • "Stop biting that pencil. See the marks? You ain't the first one doing this"

  • Student touching a gooey substance a previous kid had coughed up I beg you, tell me how did you get to the conclusion of that touching that was a good idea.

  • Student asked me if I had a job.

  • I had an hilarious meeting with two students that had copied each other's work, mistakes and all, and denied it. The parents were deeply embarrassed.

  • Gave an F to a student. Parent came choleric, demanding explanations. His kid works super hard and I was trying to "sabotage his expedient". I showed him the exam, blank, with only the name of the student filled and the date, not even correct. Fastest meeting ever.

  • "I DON'T OBEY WOMEN" Cool, have you informed your mum about this policy change of yours? If not, I'll do it for you! "NO NO NO DON'T TELL HER I SAID THAT I'M SORRY"

  • Student got handed a broom to clean the class after littering "You are a monster" "Perhaps, but you behave like a pig and sweep like a wet noodle"

Thank you very much! I'm extremely lucky when it comes to admin and coworkers.

Today in one of the lessons I almost fainted because I couldn't stop laughing. 12 y.o. kids are unhinged, I have a fun-but-no-bullshit vibe during the lessons that seems to work with most students.

Admin allows me to teach the material in practically any way I want, giving me freedom to bring fossils, random plants, vintage objects (I love collecting weird stuff)... When my bag seems heavier than usual, the kids enjoy speculating about what kind of object I'm going to show them (some groups are too unpredictable for this tho, so they only get textbook work).

I enjoy engaging in discussions and bantering with them.

The students must pass the exams, naturally, and I'm not shy when it comes to handing Fs. Having a parent/student demanding a better grade when the proof of the kid's lack of work is patent in every page is sad, infuriating and kinda funny.

If I had to give any advice to a new teacher, it would be this: remain unperturbed. Laugh and joke with them but if they cross the line, put them in place without letting them see how angry/annoyed you are. Kids will see any crack in your façade and won't hesitate to strike if they want to hurt you. And believe me, some kids REALLY want to make you miserable.

AND KEEP PAPER TRAILS OF THE DAILY WORK FOR ALL THOSE PARENTS WHO BELIEVE THEY HAVE AN ANGEL AS A CHILD.

I noticed after a couple of minutes hahah

 

Some days are hard, and some students are a total nightmare, but the good ones make the job worth it (I probably say this because I have MANY good ones).

I'm just happy and wanted to share hahah

They have a desktop for Linux??? I've been using it for years and I only get to learn this now! I'm going to try it immediately lmao. Thank you!!

My favorite book and the anime I'm currently watching

I've been using it for over a year. It makes my life easier, to be honest. I'm on the 5€ plan because I don't need more than 300 searches per month.

I like how customisable the search results are, the lack of SEO stuff and I'm a big fan of the "small internet" results.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I do not, sadly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Uh? This is great lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Daaamn. Thank you for such a thoughtful answer! I'm going to spend a lot of time playing with them! I'm familiar with Linux, but there's always a lot to learn :D

Wow, thank you very much!!!! Have a great day!

 

I'm not in a hurry, but I'd like to know if I can make Biotech mine now or if it's worth waiting.

Thank you for your answers!

 

It's a simple adapter USB-C male to female, in an angle, making the cable go behind the Deck, so it doesn't wiggle on top.

 

My laptop is old enough to vote, and therefore anything beyond Stardew Valley made it collapse, but it works great for my daily tasks. However, after trying a Switch recently (I consider the Lite to be the perfect handheld, size wise), I got an itch that could only be scratched with more games.

I found a second hand Deck for a reasonable price and I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS MISSING SO MANY THINGS.

Particularly I've been amazed by No Man's Sky, because I can see other players!!!! And visit them!!!!!! I can't do that on Switch!

I'm also enjoying Witcher 3 and Rimworld!

Discovering that the SD can be used as a computer too, with all the bells and whistles has been very fun.

My one and greatest complaint is its size... I get that it's necessary to add such a big amount of buttons, but my fingers are getting a full workout trying to remain in position.

Still, amazing, amazing machine!!

(Y'all can feel my enthusiasm levels by counting the amount of "!" In this text)

Hi everyone! I'm a very avid reader and would love to add more reading people to The StoryGraph. The more friends, the more books I may want to read I'll see!
