#being an English teacher

DpxDc AU: Justice League requires all of its youngest members to list at least one adult emergency contact in case something happens out in the field- And Lancer did tell Danny to put his number down if he needed help!

Lancer wanted to call CPS, wanted to call them for years, but something was wrong with his beloved town and the government agents that came were always… ill mannered. To say the least. So with the young Mr.Fenton appearing wounded in his class on multiple occasions, sleeping through lectures even more often, Lancer felt himself gradually accept that no other adult was going to step up to protect this child.

He figures out his Identity as Phantom and it makes his rage boil hotter than Dante’s sixth layer of hell. Danny refuses to abandon his parents (who continue to hunt him unknowingly), and he refuses to let any of his ghostly responsibilities fall wayside (this CW fellow is a real piece of work!).

But for all the things he expected when he told Danny that he could be trusted and could help- Ms. Manson and Mr.Foley coming to him for help, patching wounds, offering snacks and covering for Danny when attacks occurred in class- he hadn’t expected the Justice League to be knocking on his door.

Lancer blinked at the appearance of Batman in his classroom after the final bell, but then his stomach dropped.

TELLTALE HEART THATS THE BATMAN!!

“Phantom listed you as his emergency contact. Have you had any recent communication with him?” The deep, gravel voice startled Lancer.

Lancer checks his phone, Danny had skipped class today; and while Lancer was working with Danny to get him after school lessons and tutoring for all of the hours he missed, it was uncommon for him not to respond at Lancer’s text asking for a confirmation of his safety.

“Not in 24 hours, but I can message him again.” Lancer is shaking as he types on his phone to team phantom-Who wouldn’t be nervous at both the implications of Danny’s safety and the Batman??

Superman flies into the room from the open doorway, “No luck, without a heartbeat I can’t find him. Where ever they have him it’s lead lined or he’s keeping himself invisible.”

SCARLET LETTER ITS SUPERMAN!?!

Danny doesn’t reply to Lancer, and neither do Danny’s friends.

“He has two team members with whom he is inseparable, if none of them are responding then all three have been accosted. I’m coming with you until we find them.” Lancer declares and while he’s sure that Batman is unimpressed, Superman gives him a sad smile and nods.

Thus Lancer joins the Justice League for a day, Helps to save Team Phantom and Informs the takedown of an illegal government agency.

Batman also slides him some adoption papers and a card for a lawyer if Lancer decides to formally adopt Danny. Lancer also wins a Wayne Excellence Award for Teaching that year but he’s pretty sure the money is unrelated to Danny’s alter ego- after all, Lancer is a fantastic teacher.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #danny phantom #dp x dc #dc crossover #dp crossover #I like to think that lancer learns so much about the IR from Danny that he becomes akin to a consultant for the JL and JLD #like a ghost appears and if Danny is in a different dimension or smith they just call his English teacher #lancer being a bro to Danny is my fave #but I’m biased cause I had an English teacher who noticed my mental health decline before anyone else bothered to care #lancer gets a check in the mail and it’s for a ton of money and it’s labeled JL Hazard Pay #Bruce: game respects game #lancer corrects both Constantine’s information and his grammar

AU where Phoenix is a drama teacher and Edgeworth is an English teacher and they’re both really weird about Shakespeare

Or

drama teacher!Phoenix and dance teacher! Edgeworth have to work together for a high school play without trying to kill each other (it gets real fuckin close)

#I’ve seen Phoenix as an art teacher which is great but that guy would make an excellent drama teacher #he’s so silly #the essence of narumitsu is giving these guys essentially the same job but keeping them as petty haters #also I feel like only the gayest people are drama and English teachers #anyway every AU where phoenix is doing theater stuff is my favorite #I think that he and Trucy would bond over being performers and I kinda want to have fun with it rather than be sad with it #I think they should join a community theater program and not tell anyone during the 7yg #it would be funny #narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #edit: I haven’t been in any sort of theatre program in like a decade and I miss it

Is there anything more bone-chilling as a woman who teaches in a middle school than when a male coworker starts to complain about kids breaking the dress code? (Or not EVEN breaking the actual dress code since ours is really lax, but breaking the dress code in their mind)

It's never good.

It's never a good time.

#sir please the children wearing leggings are not being immoral wtf #no its not just about following the rules leggings arent against the rules remember #no i understand that you think they should be against the rules but thats not the same thing #no i do not think that a tank top is a safety issue I teach English not woodshop #sir I will kill you if you say its about self respect again I dont care if its gonna make the teachers lounge uncomfortable

[animentality]

lmao someone called me cringe, and I knew instantly that they were at the impressionable age of 14, where you worry about how other people see you, and think cringe is some kind of end all insult that decimates everyone as much as it decimates you.

I'm ten years too old to be bothered by the word cringe.

you're gonna have to use something other than your own discomfort to bother me.

#i am amused tho ill admit #someone sent me their ap english essay about being cringe on main and i was like #yeah im not your english teacher i dont have to read all that #and just hit that block #let me solve your problem for ya babe #you wont cringe at my blog if you dont see my blog

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

still mad about this post lol so let me also say: “they taught us critical thinking in english class” is extra funny to me because there’s a genuine debate among Ed Heads about whether “critical thinking” as a discrete and decontextualized skillset can actually be taught :) so it’s pretty silly to go around confidently branding yourself as a critical thinker while simultaneously revealing that you’re extremely comfortable making assumptions about the relative simplicity of complex ideas which remain contested in their respective fields :) personally i would be pretty embarrassed to call myself a critical thinker if i also couldn’t stop myself from revealing i was totally lacking in the intellectual humility that would enable me to understand that we have yet to reach consensus on unbelievably complicated issues like how best to educate an entire population :) but i guess i was absent the day that tenth grade english covered running your mouth like an asshole on social media :)

#for someone so convinced english class made you smart you’re saying some pretty stupid shit! #i’m also genuinely curious about this person’s english class bc i went to a fancy high school and my english teachers were mostly fine #and i would not connect literally anything we ever did there to the concepts of media literacy or misinformation spotting #i would also be shocked if a majority of current high school english teachers are good at those things themselves. lol. #remember: teachers are being taught that learning styles are real and most of them never question it! #btw i’m inclined to go with the ‘critical thinking is discipline specific and can’t be taught as a Thing crowd’ #my unsubstantiated hunch is that like #being exposed to critical thinking processes in a variety of different fields #can build the kind of intellectual humility that is the most important prerequisite for critical thinking #like because i know how much goes into ‘knowing’ something historically #i know that i can’t really meaningfully critically think about high level debates in biology because the knowledge base isn’t there #and knowing that is IMO its own form of critical thinking #but that’s me spitballing based on vibes

found another old one i never posted enjoy

#hhhhverse tag of spite #the first clue that viv cannot write entirely removed from Discourse Factor exists in the hazbin pilot #where vagina pulls AD aside to tell the audience so much badly written self-aware exposition instead of. idunno. #'how do you not know who he is?!' and then being cut off before she can exposition dump at us #the scene continues as normal but now neither AD or the audience knows why to be on edge but that there is reason to #and then AD and the audience get SOME answer when he does that OP shit at the end and then is like lol moving on #there! you answered AD's question without a paragraph of bullshit AND left INTRIGUE for the audience too for wtf all thats about! #wow! #a highschool english teacher would have pointed this out if you handed this to them for a grade! #but you decided you're too good for critique before graduating #and now you get pissy when people say this shit reads like a highschooler or someone still in highschool in their head wrote it #the math is very simple here or did you decide math is also for nerds and not worth your time as well

this might be an unpopular opinion or not but i find it so funny that they created one of the most heart wrenching scenes in the whole of new who, a soundtrack that still makes me emotional, a dialogue that could kill, and then sent clara oswald to death in THIS

the combo grandma's crochet centerpiece + questionable 2015 converse or something kills me

#i hope people like this outfit. to me it's a disgrace #the grey shirt. is so ugly. then again she IS an english literature teacher in 2015 or something #and she's also wearing this thing at the end of season 10 jesus imagine being immortalized forever in THAT shirt #id rather die #doctor who #dw #god save the queen (yasmin khan) #clara oswald #twelfth doctor

"i could never be a stay at home mom i need a career what if my husband left me or died? i would never depend on him" okay but ladies some of you are english majors. that's worse

#side thought: whenever there's an inspirational story about some poor kid making it out of the projects and being the first in their #family to go to college and then it's like...they get an English degree and become a teacher #i get that that's better than the alternative but also like. eh.

[thepunkmuppet]

I don’t think I ever actually said this on here, basically for one of my mock english gcse exams for the “write a story” section I wrote a time travel / somewhere else jonmartin fic. literally. the prompt was “something surprising” I think, and I just went well. waking up in an alternate universe would be pretty damn surprising. and it was just jon waking up in bed with no scars and no eyepocalypse and going “wHEre’S mArTiN” and I got a grade 9 (A**). so yeah that happened

#I literally had no fucking clue what I was doing and I thought it was absolute ass but yeah the teachers ate that shit up #I guess because it didn’t make sense without the context?? so there was a lot of mystery?? idk man it was crazy #the one I did for my actual final exam was literally just how to train your dragon but with a griffin or a hippogriff or something #no point wasting your time being original for a gcse english language exam lmao #I got a 9 in the end btw so 👍 #jonmartin #jmart #teaholding #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #the magnus archives #tma

it's always such a strange thing when people say stuff like, "oh, my developmental cognitive delay, mental illness, etc NEVER gets believed in, not like PHYSICALLY disabled people," or, "oh, I NEVER get accommodations for my physical conditions in school, not like other students' LEARNING disabilities," "THIS kind of thing I experienced is uniquely oppressive and one of many roots of evil in the world, other power structures & people in positions of authority are NOT as harmful as the one I experienced, and the world is soooo much nicer & easier to everybody & every kind of cripple except me"

like I know of all the social media platforms tumblr has the rep of being the pity party site, but while you truly may have suffered and nobody is here to diminish that, y'all are moving very weirdly through life

#just saw a post abt gym teachers being sooooo much more abusive creepy & underqualified than academic teachers #and how gym is useless & has NO accommodations unlike how in math or english student accoms. must be honored & material must be taught well #my baby your experiences are nawt universal lmao #and the weird ableist elitism & snobbery of it all is deeply bizarre #like i've had shitty gym teachers who were freaks about people's capacity skill disability etc but you think MATH is better?? bffr lol

Films such as Dead Poets Society and The Perks of Being a Wallflower certainly influenced my perspective on English teachers.

older sister!!!

#turtlearts #wordgirl #wg #in my mind. shes moved to fair city after her kid got into college or grad school or whatever. #also to watch over steven because shes nervous for him after years of no contact with him. and seeing him on the news being insane #also shes an attorney because i thought it would be super funny if sally and charlie became really good friends #sallys so excited to train her or show her the ropes or smth and charlie is charmed by this very peppy lady #i have a very specific scenario in my mind that i want to save in my back pocket but its so funny i think abt it every damn day #but if she wasnt an attorney i was thinking about her being an english teacher. or even a stay at home mom #but lawyer is funniest #for now #also funny factoid is that her name was sarah in my mind but i decided to change it because i know way too many sarahs in real life #sarah is a pretty name but i think its awkward to have a fictional char share a name w/ ppl u know irl ahahaha #her second name was susan but i didnt rlly like it #charlie came to me in a dream #just kidding its the name of a char in fnaf and i liked it

[samaspic31]

God I fucking HATE academic gatekeeping and disciplinary segregation. And classism and selective access ofc (why do you only want to teach people who already know)

Like. None of these disciplines should be that separate. If you're teaching history or philosophy without sociology, giving dogmatic language classes without analyzing linguistic construction or semantics, if you're doing gender studies without biology, religious studies without rhetoric, history without political science, marketing or medicine or even law without ethics (and those ethics classes accounting for ALL discrimination, core bigoted beliefs and giving precise examples) (most fields tbh omg give the people in stem and studying law some goddamn critical thinking and frameworks to combat ingrained bigotry), teaching "intellectual" matters without addressing capitalist devaluation of physical labor, no media literacy or how to read statistics, nothing to actually make sure students have absorbed the material (not graded tests) the education is incomplete

#brought to you by my (otherwise amazing) english teacher being too rigid on language ''errors“ #sam speaks #sam rants against uni #no wonder the the educational system is in crisis

[rose022]

i wish there was a place where i could continue to learn like math science english and history but like. no deadlines for work. like work still exists but its optional and the deadlines are flexible. but i still get to learn! i wanna learn soooo bad!!!!

#rose rambles #i love learning so much #somehow school didn't kill that in me completely #like im genuinely gonna miss not being in school soo much #i have no math this year and i already dont like it #and this is my final year and i see what other class are doing for English and i wanna do that too!;; #my friends are in different classes with the same teacher and i wanna do what theyre doing!;; #one of them read beowolf and watched dead poets society and analyzed oh captain ny captain #the other read james joyce and i wanna analyze that and the allusions will toledo uses #and now i see another class is doing the Canterbury tales #and i miss math and science so much too #:(((((

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

i remember someone asking you for the second years favorite out of itafushikugi but who do you think the trio’s favorite senpais are?

& who do you think the adults (nanami gojo shoko yaga) favorite students are?

I'm assuming we're talking about the sea glass gardens universe for this and not canon.

Megumi: Yuuta. No competition. I'm pretty sure this is straight up canon with his comment that Yuuta was the only one of his senpais that he actually respected. He and Yuuta have a special relationship, even if Megumi isn't aware of his Boyhood.

Barring Yuuta, Maki would be his favorite. They have identical bitch instincts and are always on the same wavelength. They wander the world as these beautiful judgmental assholes and it's their ideal existences. Soul siblings.

I see Maki as sort of slowly growing into her place as Megumi's family. At the start, neither of them were exactly looking to forge blood family ties, what with their history, but I think they both understand what it's like to have the Zenin lurking on your periphery in a way no one else does. They look out for each other.

Nobara: Maki. I also can't debate canon on this one. Nobara simply adores Maki. And has a crush on her the size of Jupiter. She doesn't know Yuuta and has sworn revenge on him for winning the last Goodwill event, so Yuuta's out of the running, and Panda and Inumaki are her constant torments.

Still, were it not for her appreciation for Maki as her senpai (re: rampant Homosexual Desire), I think Panda would be her favorite. They have identical asshole instincts, not that Nobara would ever admit it. Remember them teaming up during the Goodwill event? Nobara secretly has a soft spot for Panda, except for all the moments where she wants to beat him with a hammer.

Yuuji: I think it's actually Inumaki. Maki and him get on great because they both can compete athletically, but Maki's disposition is more suited to Megumi. She's harder for him to connect with for him on a personality level. Inumaki's also very athletically inclined, and I see them becoming jogging buddies now that Yuuta's in Africa.

I see Inumaki looking out for him a little when he first arrived, the way he did for Yuuta. Yuuji's not the sort to be phased by the difficulty communicating, and I think he respects the hell out of Inumaki as a jujutsu sorcerer.

If we count the Kyoto students in this, his favorite is Todo, but that may or may not be Stockholm Syndrome. He. He got swept up in it. It happened so fast. He doesn't know how this happened or if he's allowed to leave. It kind of scares him.

Yuuta is not even in the running for Yuuji's favorite. The thought of Yuuta torments him. He's just all sparkling and perfect in Africa, what with his curse-free existence and unstoppable power and having Megumi as his boy and what not. Just. Fuck off.

Adults

Nanami: He has no favorites. He cannot play favorites. He has raised one of these children, as adopted another, and has played a very large role in teaching a third. It would be wrong to select favorites out of them.

But also it's Yuuji.

It's not that he actually likes Yuuji better than Megumi or Yuuta or any of the others; it's more that Yuuji's his student. Megumi's practically a son to him, but Gojo was the one who took the lead on raising him and training him. And while he will always do his best to support Yuuta, by the time he met Yuuta, Gojo had already become the sort of adult pillar of support in his life.

Yuuji's the one he took the lead on training. He was there when Yuuji first had someone die, first had to kill. And Yuuji reminds him so much of Haibara that it hurts sometimes. He has a soft spot for him.

Gojo: Gojo will play favorites. It's Megumi.

Sue him. His kid is his favorite. That's his little boy. He watched him grow up from the angriest first grader he ever met to the angriest high schooler he ever met. He's always gonna have a bit of a soft spot for his Megs.

If he couldn't pick Megumi, it would be Yuuta.

Again, sue him for playing favorites, but Yuuta's someone he's just endlessly proud of. He watched Yuuta go from being curled up on the floor of an execution chamber to being the most promising sorcerer of the modern age. Yuuta really gives him hope for the future and the next generation. He just adores the kid.

Shoko: If we're talking sea glass gardens, I think Megumi would win by default just because she has less face time with the kids and Megumi is the one she helped raise. She's his wine aunt. She's always gonna wanna pinch his cheeks and harass him about his hair. But if he's out of the running, it's Nobara. She reminds her of her at that age. Mostly in the fact that she's endlessly suffering from her two idiot best friends's mutual homosexuality. Shoko relates to Nobara on a spiritual level.

Yaga: Panda. That's his little boy. I'm pretty sure this is canon too--Maki explicitly states that the principal plays favorites with Panda in JJK0. He raised Panda and thinks of him as his own son. He adores the kid.

If Panda's out of the running, it's Megumi.

This is also because he remembers when Megumi was a little kid. He didn't help raise Megumi the way the rest of them did--he got cut out after the Zenin incident--but he remembers before, when he was trusted with Megumi. A part of him is always going to remember Megumi as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk to read.

I also just see him as keeping more distance from the kids. he's not as actively involved in their teaching. it's partially an act of self protection to have distance--a lot of kids don't make it to graduation. So his favorites are going to be the one he spent the most time with--namely panda and Megumi, just by pure default.
