my humanities teacher to her partner (PhD in physics): ok but physics isn’t real. Like it’s all made up, if you really think about it. Sure, you calculated all that, but… how do you really know???

Him: *froths at the mouth*

#physics #English teachers are the best #the stem vs humanities war wages on #this is a joke #she’s got a point

I just randomly remember how I was held back one afternoon by my english teacher during freshman year because I couldn’t finish an essay and also because I suck at english (so bad). Only if I could tell her now that I write fanfics with more then 3k words in pure fucking english with another 3k words worth of smutt 😀

#she was my favorite nonetheless #she helped me grow and be comfortable and really pushed me to learn better #english teachers are the best #personal randomness

Nhnhnhn holidays

It’s very snowy, Eddie better be careful delivering mail…

(In the first picture, since it’s hard to read, Frank is saying “Happy Hanukkah” and Howdy is saying “Merry Christmas” and their exclamations are colliding, so they just go with “Happy Holidays” instead)

I believe Theo not only can speak french, but is even MORE fluent in reading french than english. The Doctors may have talked to him in both languages but I bet most of their books and notes were in french and Theo got used to only reading in this language

#all of this to say that theo barely got Cs in English class #he was the slowest reader #and i don’t think he knew half the authors they had to study lmao #on the other hand he was in advanced French class and often corrected the teacher #also #Liam looses his mind every time theo speaks in French #even if he knows very well Theo is just insulting him #i love thinking about these silly things #headcanons are my best friends #imma give the bilingual struggle to every one of my fav characters #i have this whole fic where after 6B Theo and Isaac become bff and ends up living together in France #theo raeken #(I missed talking about my boy)#teen wolf #thiam #(this whole post is kinda influenced by Emotional by MalloryMadeIt which I strongly recommend)

my gay english teacher just put in front of a whole ass class of over 30 students of which half are homophobic white males, Heartstopper. He literally said before "today we are gonna binge watch a series on teens and being a superheroes" And then the Heartstopper intro starts playing and istg that was such a power move of him. He also dressed up as a clown for Carnival bc a student said "gays are clowns" and he dressed up in drag for Halloween bc a girl said "drag queens scare me a lot..." He is so slay

Well, I actually have the most mundane of questions, but it’s been so long since I’ve been in an English class that I feel like I’ve completely forgotten (and I’m curious how you do it): how do you go about reading a book as a class? Do you assign them the chapters to read at home and most of them actually do it? Or do you give them class time to read? Do you have the kids who try to spoil the rest of the book for the class? Basically, how does one teach a book in the year 2024? 😀

And do you have your students annotate inside their books? (I know the English teachers in my school require the students to do that, and I get why, but I inwardly shudder every time I see a student marking up a page.)

Haha I love this question because I too am always asking myself how DOES one each a book in 2024?

It’s sort of a combination. I absolutely assign reading every night (almost) unless it’s Shakespeare or any play in which case we read it all in class. But for a novel there’s a couple chapters a night. I read aloud to them a lot too. Sometjmes I make them read aloud to the whole class, rotating kids who read. Sometimes I assign a chapter to be read in class silently with questions or quotes due at the end of the reading. Sometimes I put them in groups and make them read aloud to each other. There’s no one way that works for sure and of course ultimately I have no control over how much they read and I’m not naive enough to think that most of the reading assigned for homework doesn’t get skipped most of the time buuuuuut.

My bottom line is that I believe it’s my job to get excited about the actual text itself (easier for me in some cases than others but overall pretty easy because it does fill me with excitement) and then commit to taking them on the journey of the story with me. And my goal—that I’m sure I often don’t reach—is to make that experience so much more fun if you have actually read. And the way that I teach is pretty text heavy which is why I always make sure I’ve read the chapters for the day and am not just relying on my memory because the way I do it is just sort of absorbing it all up like a vacuum-cleaner, schwooooop, and then either pulling stuff out of the reading to look at directly or directing them to do the same thing. So the big thing that I have going for me, if any, is buy-in. Is getting kids excited about actually reading the actual text. I also speak often and passionately about the evils of sparknotes etc. not because they help kids get better grades or whatever but because they present you with the husk and shell of a story, stripped of all that makes it interesting, and that by reading that alone they’re reading something so dry and dull and are not achieving what I always want them to achieve —which is, have an Experience with the Literature.

Again, it never works perfectly by any stretch and there are so many ways I want to explore in my quest to get better at it but overall I think, at my very best, I can create this wave of energy and excitement in the story itself which is the most organic and ultimately most helpful way to get them to want to read.

Also no haha. I don’t let them annotate! Though occasionally kids DO of course. But sometimes they bring in their own copies in order to do that. The spoilers absolutely happen and are annoying but I sort of get by it by moving on very quickly and/or talking about how it’s often not the ending but how you get there that makes it interesting. Because that’s just true!

#gosh does this answer make sense #I am so passionate about doing it well and there are huge gaps in my teaching in terms of concrete stuff #but I am doing ….. Something in terms of bringing literature closer to them #and that’s what I want to do!#also love love love the bonus of getting to reread great works over and over until they start sinking into my brain #and I think (well I usually don’t think about it) but I think that the experience for them of watching me read it again #(and sometimes literally I won’t have time to read I need 10 minutes to finish this chapter and tell them to shut up)#(while I sit there and read it)#reminds them that I AM committed to doing the work with them. that I am actually doing it and that I want to!#and idk I think that is both a rarer experience and one that’s kind of underrated in terms of how much warmth it can create #because I have nothing in common with 16 year olds we couldn’t be friends in real life without it being very weird/possibly inappropriate #but in class we have a Thing to be friends about #we have a shared goal! and not just an arbitrary one but a deeply beautiful one #idk. there’s still a lot of boredom a lot of pushback a lot of disinterest #but I’m always amazed at how often kids do want to …. idk sink their teeth into something real #it’s REAL food for their minds. and the hunger for it is there even if they decide they’re too lazy to join the group #my goal is to —merely by the situation itself—make you feel left out of the fun if you refuse to do the work #so you can CHOOSE that but it’s less fun. it’s cold. it’s boring and it’s isolating #because refusing to do the work and insisting on being a little toad SHOULD come with natural social punishments in the form of exclusion #from the best kind of fun. it often does NOT. but yeah. I think I’m also getting better at shutting down toad behavior from adolescent male #this is where teaching co-Ed helps because there are some girls who are like ‘if you stop my learning I will kill you’#not ENOUGH girls but some #ooooof this is a long answer but literally always on my mind #thank you for asking!!! also haha I assumed you were an English teacher yourself!

This is my teacher. Today's his 44th birthday. He's celebrating it at the afterlife though.

O captain, My Captain, Mr. Pagangpang, Sir, you will be missed.

thinking of making a reader + kagami but instead of being insane and weird, it's just insane, and i, the reader, am one of his teachers when he was so so so sad in america when he first moved and i'm trying to give him opportunities to make friends in class and helping him with his english as best as i can given that i don't speak any japanese. but i get on google translate and i TRY because i'm a teacher and this is what i do

#baby kagami makes me cry every time i think about him #plus i used to be a teacher and he reminds me of kids who hardly spoke any english and would get really frustrated and upset really easily #and then be labelled by stupid idiot teachers as 'problem kids' and instead of being stupid myself i would just crack open google translate #it wasn't perfect but given that we had ZEROOOO tools for that kind of thing it was the best i could do #and given that i would have like 8 kids to look after of my own sob #i miss those days and i miss those kids #anyway people can do whatever they want i just dont like reader x or reader + SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY #kagami

[CN] Victor’s Carbon Pen and Glass Bead Event (Day 7)

⌚ This post contains detailed spoilers for content yet to be released on the global server! ⌚

✦ thursday || friday || saturday || sunday || monday || tuesday || wednesday

【High School Affiliated to Loveland University Second Year (Section 1) Semester Schedule - Wednesday】

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈

[ENGLISH]:

In preparation for the upcoming sports meet, this week onwards, each class’s sign holder will rehearse during the morning self-study session.

Contrasting with other students who are somewhat anxious to return to class, Victor is incredibly calm and composed.

If he waits a bit longer, he might just manage to perfectly avoid Brother Ying’s peculiar activities.

—

[MATH]:

“Comrades, I’ve got a brilliant idea.”

After accurately aiming the chalk at the student dozing off, Old Gao laughs and brushes off the chalk dust from his hands.

“The next person I catch napping during the class will need to recite the decimal expansion of pi up to the 150th digit after the decimal point.”

Although Victor is confident he will not doze off in class, he still opens his eyes wider and focuses to be more alert.

—

[CHEMISTRY]:

Chemistry is the cornerstone of human advancement, and it’s also the subject that can elevate scores the most in the college entrance exam.

The teacher’s words are delivered with gentleness and sincerity.

Victor nods with repeated “Hm.”

The teacher in the previous class said the same thing (about their own subject).

—

[CHEMISTRY]:

Amidst the intermittent growls of hungry stomachs, the chemistry class comes to an end.

Teachers always tend to have their favorite students– because they’re mature, sensible, and have exceptional academic performance. Of course, the uncle in the school cafeteria is no exception to this pattern.

However, this (cafeteria uncle’s) favoritism might purely be due to Victor’s handsome appearance.

—

[CHINESE]:

The significance of having good handwriting cannot be overstated.

“Sir Vic, we wrote more or less the same thing. Why did you score 56 while I only got 42?”

“The basis for assessing the standard might be whether or not it’s readable.”

—

[BIOLOGY]:

Even simple single-celled organisms can survive in this world, proving that people should indeed show more patience towards many fools. However, one shouldn’t waste too much time either.

Listening to the teacher’s explanation, Victor inexplicably sighs in his heart.

—

[PHYSICS]:

“I wasn’t asking to borrow your eraser, I’m telling you to pick up the note next to you!”

“Vice Class Monitor, can you help me pass this down again? Be careful not to be spotted by the ‘stern-faced old demon’...”

Hushed voices almost simultaneously sound from both sides. Victor feels as if he is submerged in what seems like a low-frequency hum.

Until…

“What have I just stumbled upon?”

—

[PHYSICS]:

In truth, starting from the second year of high school, many classes have some unspoken rules. For instance, whichever teacher has the first class of the day won’t be assigned to supervise the morning self-study session. Likewise, the same principle applies to the last class and the evening self-study session.

However, the physics class is an exception to this norm.

Victor feels an immense sense of pressure pressing down on him and resolves to contemplate how to conquer it.

Hit FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has genuinely compelled me to read and appreciate classic literature more than any of my many former years of school. I look at the silly rat show and am like I get it now, I'm gonna read Shakespeare, Beckett, Dostoyevsky, etc. and analyze the world for funsies, my grades 7-11 English teachers could NEVER.

#iasip #text #anmmbposts #it's about tracing back+understanding the source of influences+underlying connections that intertwine+remain inherently part of us today #it's about the beauty and horror of a universal idea and experience that perpetuates beyond time and setting #and you know much more whatever *kicks ten impulse purchased books under the bed*#it's about the tragicomic structure and the inevitability of a story's end and and and #oh that made me think of something else #ignore me! i'm just losing/expanding my mind over here #like i was good in english i did the analysis i got 90s and all but i never really “got” or liked most of the things they made us read #i didn't have real world experience or frames of reference to understand and teachers are... not the best at teaching #but there's just something in sunny that helped my perception grow up immediately something real and tangible and like #yeah it's paired w/ time that's passed i'm older now but also idk there's just something there that made the entire world click into place #okay dost*yevsky im picking up for other reasons but still branched off from sunny!

my best advice to anyone who's still in middle/high school is to make your teachers think you are the nicest sweetest purest little goody two shoes on the planet so that you can get away with breaking rules fairly openly bc your teachers either won't believe it or will view it as a very minor issue since you're the perfect student

#this is how i broke a kids leg and physically injured a teacher twice with 0 repercussions #also make best friends with the snarky english teachers theyll protect you if you can match their repartee #literally just be like im such a perfect sweet little angel who is so so interested in history class #i would NEVER play cards in the empty orchestra room during class with some other kids. never would i break a rule its preposterous #if you have at least one teacher who views you like this theyll go to bat for you if you ever actually get caught :)#also just be autistic as fuck your classmates will hate you but ur teachers will infantilize you into non agency #i almost got suspended for wearing a hat all the time after being told not to then i told one of my favorite teachers #and she told the teacher who kept getting on to me to leave me alone #another year i feel asleep almost every day in biology and my astronomy teacher told him i was having a really hard time (i was)#so he ended up printing out the slides for me every day and asking my table mate to give me his notes when i fell asleep #which was so so sweet of both of them and i really needed that kindness and ill never forget it #but i think a more disruptive kid may not have received the same level of kindness

My favorite assignments in school were always the ones that were like

“Demonstrate a proficient understanding of the characters by writing an original story that could take place within or after the events of the book while maintaining and/or developing all proper character development as demonstrated throughout the story”

Like ma’am

That’s fanfiction

You’ve asked me to write fanfiction
