The Thread about Teaching and the Dumbasses We Teach

Well some shithead busted out the window in my car today

 

Where the fuck do you teach?

FIFY

 

Class starts tomorrow for me. 6th year teaching so feeling pretty confident. Wanted to ask my compatriots, what kind of bag are you guys rocking these days? I still use the classic Eastpak bookbag but thinking it may be time to upgrade to something a little more distinguished

 

Jesus I did that about ten years ago. never again. Thought I was being the good guy and giving the odd kids a place to meet.

Worst decision I could have made. Two hours of torture while they watched the most fucked up movies and acted out the scenes.

 

i got called into the principals office in high school because someone found and vandalized the anime club's online forum by posting all sorts of tentacle hentai.

they thought it was me but they couldn't prove it.

(it was me)


audrew make them watch kaiji

 

It wasn't supposed to be that way.

And stop fucking judging me...I made a mistake all right?

 

So how do you handle that -- let it ride, or do you have to give a "see me after class"?

 

Solid, I would like Mr. Audrew as a teacher.

One time in high school we were taking a standardized test and they said you could write on the booklet, so me and my buddy assumed they'd be thrown away. We doodled all kinds of funny shit on the cover where they show the one perfect classroom with the white kid, the black kid, the Asian kid, etc. We had them smoking crack and whipping out dicks and all kinds of shit. Couple weeks later we get called to the principal's office and they said the state board of ed or whoever was pretty pissed when they got the books. We were like uh sorry we didn't know anyone would see that. We got suspended I think

 

got a text from my girlfriend this morning

"i wish corporal punishment was still legal"

 

You rolled around laughing at that? I would nod in solemn agreement

 

My elementary school principal case to home a release every year asking for permission to use corporal punishment if he saw fit. My parents signed that shit in front of me every year.

 

This years 9th grade class is something else.

 

IPad deployment day

 

Three former kids on the police blotter yesterday. One got 10 years for a car jacking

 

you did good

 

Oh, the porn they will watch.

 

We started this 2 years ago. Except they got MacBook Airs. This years freshmen won't get one because of not enough funding

 

Sounds like some excellent planning on someone's part there

 

Urban inner city school district

 

ya know truthfully I am a little amazed at ur ability to play on here and teach also .
my daughter has teachers confrences all week at discovery in Waterford .
it just strikes me a little funny your not swamped the first week . ??????????.

p.s. Waterford is orange . yes ?
do u have a , a rateing ?

 

Shoulda went with Edward from Twilight IMO

 

In some states it is

 

So week 4 into the new school year and they are going to move everyone's classroom around. Closing off part of the 2nd floor and making it the 9th grade hall. They also want me to move over to the next classroom which has the broken smart board, that's not going to happen.

This year has been just one giant clusterfuck.

 

I've never stumbled into this thread before.

You teachers are the fucking best.

 

Handed out iPads Wednesday, got halfway through set up. Went well
Thursday morning servers were down, no biggie I had a back up plan.
Friday morning servers down again!.

Last year iPads were completely unrestricted and so basically we handed middle schoolers a video game console and battled that all year

This year kids are given a "managed Apple id ". This is supposed to restrict the app store, safari etc. They can only get apps pushed out through the district. Hooray IT department.

It took a kid 15 minutes after set up to figure out that they can fucking sign out of the managed id in settings and sign in with any Apple id, personal or the one they were given last year and it's game on again.

Oh and our brand new head of tech was on fucking vacation this week!. Which is great because he claimed it was planned a long time ago but the dude was a high school teacher last year and didn't get hired for the new job until May. No teacher in the district is ballsy enough to take the first week of school off.

My principle was on fire, she's this little tiny Latina, it was pretty great.

IPads are still not completely set up, the Wi-Fi in rooms is completely unreliable because of construction over summer. Friday, principle suspended deployment indefinitely.

 

Oh and because I'm not a complete dumbass my classes handled all the set up for my seventh grade team.

 

I spent 100 dollars at the liquor store after school

 

Past 2 Fridays I've went to the bar. Most I've been in the last 4 months

 

Sounds like your IT Department is dumber than your students.

 

Hmmm. I am the third most senior 9th grade teacher...going on my 6th year at my school (not overall). We have three 9th grade teams.

I am also in charge of planning freshmen orientation for my team with a 2nd year teacher because she is the 2nd most experienced teacher on my team. Going to be a great year.

 

I'm the 2nd most experienced at 3 years. Big problem this year is that they've shrunk the 9th grade teams from 3 to 2. No surprise that there's been major issue with this years 9th grade

 

What is "team" in relation to academia? Never heard the term used in that manner.

 

Each team is suppose to teach only a certain amount of kids. Let's say you have 300 kids and 3 teams. Each team gets 100 kids that they teach exclusively for their 4 core subjects. However, you will have kids that are part of both teams because of how their schedule works out. It's suppose to make it easier to identify kids who are having problems because they are only suppose to go the teachers that are part of your team.

 

Ah, thanks for the explanation

 

Any of you guys use kahoot? Love it, been using it the past 3 years
