#one english teacher says 'we don't need books bc the kids have laptops' and the other one says this ???

[chaoswillcalmusdown]

work rant of the week just because: i literally just mentioned to my coworker that i don't wanna teach the boy in the striped pyjamas and so i've ordered the hunger games instead and he (who is not only an english teacher...... but also a history teacher) was like 'well the hunger games isn't more historically accurate?!' and i'm like ........... bro........... the hunger games isn't explicitly detailing a historical event that happened in real life...... it is a dystopian novel ?????????????

#like. dear god what the fuck #his whole reasoning was also that he wants to like 'scare' the prejudice out of them and i'm like #that book is literally uwu-ifying the nazi boy #so how does that make logical sense? #my book choice makes more sense for his purposes #if you wanna talk about power and oppression and not doing the right thing #anywho #i'm on break #i've just been thinking about this since monday #no one cares if i do my own thing but like asdfghsdfg #one english teacher says 'we don't need books bc the kids have laptops' and the other one says this ??? #i need coworkers of colour before i implode
