I actually love learning history, but we barely learn any of it in school. I want to learn EVERYTHING! ESPECIALLY the crazy stuff! Teach me the things that don't make sense! Teach me the details about how people loved, what they did! What shinanigins did they get up to? Make me reenact something ridiculous and crazy!

Gods, I love history!

Got these pictures from my for you page on Tik Tok

These pictures are NOT mine.

#tik tok #history #love history #this isn't history related but way do we have to take 4 whole years of English???#like wtf #i swear to god we basically do the same thing every year #my mom said when she was in highschool they had to take Latin #i wanna be forced to learn a language #latin sounds kinda cool #my school doesn't even teach that #i want asl to be a language class #i bet SO many people would benefit in the future from learning it.#mention of witches #witches #mention of witches burning/witch trails #history is actually pretty fucking cool ngl #I kinda hated learning history in school #it was just so fucking boring #i learned all of the past presidents in second grade #why do i need to do that again in highschool?#i can't believe we didn't watch Hamilton in any of my history classes #HISTORY #make history more fun to learn #why is it like school was designed to punish us

Moral Orel doesn't seem 100% like a show I'd feel seen in if you don't know me but then I remember the episode with the special ed kids and underneath the usual satire on extremist bible belt religion it reminds me WAY too much of how actual special ed departments treated me and other kids growing up.

Like the writers must HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIFE, man. I'd kill to sit down with Dino Stamatopoulos and find out what the fuck inspired him and the other writing staff that day.

#husbandothings #moral orel #bonus fun tag rant? bonus fun tag rant...apparently #in those departments you are immediately written off as a tragic forever toddler by at least 50% of the staff regardless of your disability #there's good ones but the bad ones bring the fun spicy trauma #it doesn't matter how smart you actually are you gotta draw the sad face on that boy on the comic sans worksheet at the age of 15 #in your free lesson spaces that you got because of reasons #if someone tells me they're a teaching assistant or have “qualifications” in autism and special needs development i immediately distrust #because I have never met a neurotypical person with those qualifications who knows how to treat kids like humans especially autistic kids #funniest part? I was mostly in the special ed department because of my hearing and not totally my undiagnosed autism #and a little because of wonky emotional development from get this...a freaking religious school #like i see adults in the show and i see the headteacher who tried to tell my parents i should forgive the bullies because jesus would #even though the truth is way more nuanced but he just wanted to wash his hands of it #it's funnier than it should be because that teacher would fit right in to this show for that and additional reasons I won't state here #my family were atheists but thought the school would be good #the weird thing is at that time as a little kid I liked the idea of believing in god but nothing that happened proved Him to me #and moral orel hits because it resonates with the fact i genuinely believe religion can do good and it's all about the people #the ones who want to use that faith for good in the world and surviving rough crap and not to do things that would make jesus flip tables #that has stuck with me for over a decade as has the people who felt the show reinforced their christianity #but anyway

I don't want to brag or sound too optimistic about it, but after three weeks of training at a private college, I think my lessons with this one particular immigrant student (who has serious motivational problems lemme tell ya) are finally starting to get through and there's been improvement.

Only slight improvement so far but I have spotted some, so maybe not all hope is lost yet.

Remains to be seen I guess.

#personal #so in case anyone's still wondering i'm studying to become a tutor/instructor/guidance counselor etc. etc. whatever it's called in english #and currently i mostly work with immigrants with language. sometimes i help high school students as well. but mostly immigrants #and there's this one immigrant student who's been there since last spring. and he still barely even knows the basics because he's 'given up #according to him that is. he told me this at least three times yesterday and i told him that's a problem #so i've been trying to hammer it through his head that he can't be sitting in classes and using his phone when he's supposed to be learning #or expect me or teachers giving him all the answers when he also needs to show a little effort and help us back as well #and that he needs to participate in pair and group activities in classes because we're a team and we need to work together #so basically he's been asking me to either teach him or then find someone who can teach him #i told one of our teachers this and she answered that he could also participate in evening activities at the college but he's not doing tha #and according to him he doesn't 'mingle'. so i told him maybe he should once in a while. get out of his comfort zone. at least try #to my surprise he actually showed up to one of the evening activities that i hosted. didn't do much anything there but sit but still #that was effort. he did exactly what i said despite it making him a little uncomfortable so that's improvement #so then yesterday he asked me about teaching him the language again. i told him i host a homework club at tuesdays & thursdays @ 3:30-4:30p #he showed up there yesterday and was the only student. so i had time to teach him basic greetings. weekdays. months. things he shoulda know #and i thought it's all probably in vain but i tried. so today. he was in their class and actually doing pair work and reading stuff aloud #and even translating some stuff when i asked. calling it easy. and that he's trying to use his phone less and memorize this stuff instead #to which the rest clapped at and cheered him on for. and i told this to the teacher afterwards when she asked me about him. and she gave #me a thumbs up and looked a little surprised but also delighted. because he's been a popular subject amongst ourselves for a reason #so i don't want to get too optimistic about it. because he still has an attitude problem. but he's tried a little at least. so there's hope

There should be more content on the systemic rivalry of Curtain as a theatre kid and Milligan as a

#The other adults can be there too #Like Mr. B as the bookish kid and Garrison as part of the STEM club #(they impeached her as president because she kept pushing them to do *slightly* illegal activities)#OR #Even better it's like all of them being school teachers of different subjects #Curtain's still theatre and Milligan's PE #But. Like. Fun PE where he makes up adventure scenarios to motivate students and plays fun music and gets them engaged #Mr. B's the librarian #Number Two's the shop teacher and she's scary good at it #Maybe she also helps with lunches I'm not sure #And Miss Perumal's the Home Economics teacher and she's fantastic but also teaches self defense because “It counts as Home Econ”#Wait maybe Curtain's the principle too but nobody listens to him and he just sends out crazed announcements through the PA system #And all the teachers listen politely and then are like “Anyways—”#Maybe Rhonda's the Home Econ teacher actually #And Miss Perumal's the geography/social sciences teacher #Actually that's much better #And she takes the kids on the best field trips #But she Rhonda and Number Two still teach self-defense #Curtain doesn't want them to but Milligan lets them into the gym after school's over and hangs out with them while they do it #Actually I've changed my mind Moocho is in charge of the school kitchen #And sometimes he sneaks Number Two in there and they experiment together #Mr. B is the absolute best librarian and he's just so nice and comforting and supportive #He teaches a course every semester about internet safety and how to properly fact-check things so you know what's true #He makes the library super calm and inviting and it's full of soft green plaid plush chairs #And they're not just in the open spaces either #There's lots of little hidden areas where people can go and sit and read if they don't want to be bothered #He lets kids take naps in there sometimes if they're having a bad day #And gives them tea and talks to them #And then of course his brother shows up and tells him off for letting a student skip class #And he apologises as bunch (But he doesn't stop doing it)

I don't think that kids should be exclusively homeschooled, but I also don't think that kids should be going to a building with hundreds of people 5 days a week during a pandemic. It's one of the main reasons why it keeps spreading so rapidly and won't go away. They don't take any preventative measures at schools anymore (at least not around here). You got kids? You're getting sick. Your coworker has kids? You're getting sick.

Schools are back to counting attendance. You can't even keep your kid home long enough to recover from covid before sending them back. They literally send a "truancy" (police) officer to your house if you keep them home too often.

I feel like we could be doing something better. I'm not entirely sure what the solution is. But this isn't it.

#.bdo #I tried homeschooling 3 kids at the beginning of the pandemic my ADHD is way too bad for that #this doesn't even touch on how I think the modern public school system needs to be abolished and rebuilt #the kids don't get enough breaks bullying isn't properly addressed the history they teach them is biased and/or outdated #attendance policies are ableist and classist and a fuck #PE shouldn't be something you're graded on and exercises should be given based on the individual child's abilities and needs #there should be more counselors and actual child psychologists in the building #school breakfast and lunches should always be free for every kid (thankfully they started doing that here in my town a year ago)#there should be different times of the day you can drop your kid off instead of one set starting time and one ending time #to work with different people's work and sleeping schedules #kids should not be required to be at school before 9 am but we have schools starting between 6:50am-7:20am now #my school years would have been 10000% easier if I could have started at 11am instead #kids need to be met at their level instead of forcing the same curriculum on everyone #MORE TEACHERS! More than one per classroom! Why are we making one person watch 30 kids at once!#this needs to be a whole separate post but I needed to get this rant out now

Wish I could get paid to learn languages but not teach them or translate them or analyze them or do anything with them just learn them

#Teaching languages well I've been there and I think I'll have to end up going back because it's all I can do #With my stupid degree but whatever. I just wish I could just get like paid to learn and not teach but doesn't everyone #SIGH #And my ass would not make it in academia that ship has so sailed so its not even an option #I wish I was rich like this one girl I know who just goes back to fucking undergrad all the time for different shit #Cos her parents are like sure you can go get an art degree #FUCK!#Whatever . I don't care.#Anyway I think if I don't make it back to Germany and back to school in the next....3 years I'll kill myself but that's tangential #And what's funny is I've been saying that for 8 years Lmfao

I don't really have a final conclusion for this, I've just been thinking recently that I appreciate the effort Shannon made to say its okay to learn differently than others and have unique needs, however Exillium being the medium through which that message is conveyed in Unlocked falls short (at least for me) because...that's also the punishment school. Having different educational needs and being sent to a different school--not to mention one that's not even part of formal society and is literally in the wild--for poor behavior/choices are two very different things, but they've been lumped together.

Yes, it's entirely okay to learn differently and have unique needs, but that's not why kids get sent to Exillium. It's not a school to help accommodate their learning. Kids are, from what we've seen, sent almost always because they've caused problems and are deemed unfit for the typical schools. Disruptive, problematic, criminal, lesser, etc. So also having it be the alternative learning school kind of implies a correlation between having different needs and making poor choices/having problem behavior. Like none of these students "learn differently" (that we've been told at least) they caused problems (intentional or not) that people didn't want to deal with. Maybe this isn't representative of all Exillium students, but it's all we've seen so far that I can recall.

And yes Exillium is improving and did have a positive initial intention, but as it is right now I find myself (personally, these are my feelings) uncomfortable at it being used to say its okay to learn differently. Because it doesn't feel like it follows through on that message. Having the school where kids with criminal behavior are sent out of sight separate from the rest of society being the school for alternate learning styles just doesn't sit quite right.

And yes, some of the kids sent there were just labeled disruptive/problematic and they didn't actually do anything wrong but be themselves, but their being fucked over by the system doesn't change that that is how the system works.

I'm not really going anywhere with this and it's difficult to articulate (I'm sure I've missed a few clarifying points because I keep debating with myself back and forth) because I do think Shannon meant well, I'm not an expert, and there are always arguments to be made to the contrary (like I said, I've been debating with myself). It's just something I've been thinking about because I always feel icky reading that part of Linh's Exillium commentary, but maybe I'm making a problem out of nothing.

#kotlc #kotlc discourse #i keep doubting myself like is there actually anything there or am I making this up #i don't think I am?#for aforementioned reasons #and also...what alternate learning does it even show?#i don't have experience with accomodated learning styles so I can't say for certain #but I thought it was about learning the same things just in different ways presented differently #exillium isn't teaching them differently its just teaching them different things entirely #perhaps I am in over my head #and the fact exillium's being criticized and improved renders this null #and the fact students were having problems in the usual schools does indicate a different learning style thus rendering this null #but it just doesn't sit right with me #like none of these students 'learn differently' they caused problems people didn't want to deal with #and I. don't like that the two are lumped together #does any of this make sense?#long post #added one of these tags to the original post because i think it summarizes something well #i have read over this so many times. releasing it into the world now please be nice #<- doesn't not mean you cannot disagree or offer alternative perspectives just don't be rude about it #i'm genuinely trying to think and reason it through because I'm doubting myself and keep going back and forth #on whether or not there's actually anything to this

yeah no yusuke and shiho are actually best friends. it just wasn't mentioned bc it wasn't relevant to the plot

#squishy talks too much #squishy plays p5r #i keep using this tag even tho i'm not playing it anymore #anyways #NO BC THEY HAVE SO MUCH ROOM FOR BEST FRIENDSHIP #i think yusuke should teach shiho to make vent art #she could use a coping mechanism after having gone through so much and it'd be such a nice bonding moment for them #also yusuke uniquely understands being lonely at school #bc even after he befriends the phantom thieves #they all spend time together at school every day while still nobody talks to him bc of his different school #so shiho getting thrown into a school where she doesn't know anyone and feeling isolated #is something he can relate to more than anyone #also it's implied that shiho has good parents and yusuke could really use a parental figure in his life #i think they should literally just basically adopt him #shiho just dragging him back to her parents like. heyyyy so i got you guys a son #LIKE DO YOU SEE MY VISION HERE #they are literally everything i will eat drywall #about yusuke <3 #about shiho <3

#which frustratingly the relevant articles are from a journal our school doesn't subscribe to and like i could just ask her to change my topi #but like if i wait until after thanksgiving that is pushing it too close UGH #i hate school #i hate how busy i am right now ugh i was on the phone with my dad and he was like you sound really unhappy and i was like well thing is i #am and like i just have to slog through the rest of this semester but it is a hard slog #call my schedule oatmeal the way its fucking GRUELING #they werent lying that 25hrs a week internship but 1hr walking there and back 5 days a week (so 30 hours time) is a fucking LOT on top of #classes and teaching like im physically sore im tired and burnt out im behind on grading #i love the work im doing at the internship and i love teaching it is just challenging to balance both #and like i knew grad school would be hard and I knew this semester would be hard and i can get through it and i will get through it #i dont even like complaining about it bc like i signed up for this knowingly and i knew what i was committing to and the internship is so s #so helpful for me career wise and i really enjoy it and like my classes are also important career wise #im just constantly treading water but im drowning a little #every like mental health problem i have is being exacerbated #i feel like i have two parts of my brain like rational logical brain that knows what i need to do to get the tasks done and then wild #impulsive fun brain that just wants to goof off and that part of my brain has the steering wheel most of the time and i have to wrestle it #away to get work done anytime im not like in an office #which like yes that is a metaphorical way to describe executive dysfunction but i have not had time to try to get any diagnoses even tho #we've been suspicious for 6 years now

drawing my time traveler character bc she was the only good thing to come out of my concept art/3d modeling class (i learned nothing about character design or 3d modeling and this character was the only assignment actually about character design that we did (i did my senior project on character design and learned way more about it than a whole semester long class that was supposed to teach me it))

im also going insane trying to track down the shoes i used for inspiration for hers but alas i cant find them
