I’m pretty lucky to go to a relatively progressive STEM centered school, where they encouraged us to look at the bad things in history. To hear that It’s commonplace to just glaze over stuff like that makes me mad knowing they are fully capable of teaching the full story.

@@arrggghhhh yea same, they tell us all about the bad shit in history. Why gloss over it when you could teach people why it was bad.

Nah they were very specific and went over it even in middle school. They even had a field trip to the holocaust museum

Surprisingly in Texas school they don't ignore stuff like that as bad

“There wasn’t a genocide of the Native Americans, they just made room for us!”

are you learning about sedimentary rock?

@@minswep5462 lmao

@@minswep5462 I’m learning about Patrick’s rock

I cackled, ty for making my day

Same lol

I've had friends in my current college getting failed for using the wrong font... So it's not wrong to say they are harsh in college if you go to a scientific one

@@mamastory3507 holy gracy that's insane

@@Tee.Dee3 I mean, yeah, my teacher is currently insanley harsh on my paper saying I am not allowed to use certain words in my language because they SOUND too English (They are not according to our language control but whatever) While they are correct that college teachers will be more easy on you when it comes to things like sleeping in class that's because you are paying to be there. They don't give a shit if you are wasting your own money to sleep away your education. Most college educations don't even have mandatory attendance so you can show up to the test and do it and never come back. (If you are not a course with oral exams, lab tests, or obligatory seminariums ofc) In highschool the teachers have an OBLIGATION to keep you inside the school and they lose their PAY if they fail this too much. They also have a OBLIGATION to get YOU to pass as a student. Or again they might get punishment or even the boot for being a bad teacher. So highschool teachers who are trying to teach the most hard to control category of children (snarky teens) being tried controlling assholes isn't too weird when they might be trying to controll 7 or 8 classes every single one with a group of snarky unintrested assholes and a group of pressured girls who will break down crying if they get a B instead of an A. I understand if it makes a teacher stressed beyond belife

I read 1690 and did a double take

Even then, college was laid back. Probably even moreso.

I love the last line "I am horrible at math, which is why i teach English ,welcome"

Pretty much, college is rough, but not for a lot of the reasons high school teachers tell you, they're mainly trying to scare you into taking your high school classes more seriously

@John Miller i think every school level

same about every level

No cause seriously in primary they told us that secondary school would be extremely hard when we enter yr7(bassically the 1st yr of secondary)and... It really wasn't. Hell for the whole year we barely got homework and even got 10 mins early lunch

It’s because they tried to become a college teacher but weren’t smart enough to teach college lvl (insert blank here) so in order to give themself closure they make college seem like something created by gods

In my college and I believe for all my friends as well, calculators are not allowed. It’s the opposite in high school where they made as buy graphing calculators saying that it’ll be an investment for college as well……. Even scientific calculators aren’t allowed in some classes tbh

Back in Highschool I used to take virtual Early College classes at my school and my History Professor would tell us about an exam, open it a day early, tell us we can do it when we have time, and then she would say "make sure to write flashcards to remember, but honestly, I'm not there to take your notes away so.... you know, you could totally use your notes to cheat. *smile and wink. I'm sure a lot of you are going to cheat now." and she just laughed. She also wrote out the notes for us in full. Definitions, dates, and all. She even sent us money just for participating in class. The most she's ever given out at once is $5. Add that with the other $36 I got saved up from her. She was great, nothing like some of the Highschool teachers.

That quote is a relic from back when we didn't have smartphones.

My vector calc prof just let us bring laptops in and use geogebra and wolfram lol.

I’ve only seen one and it is an amazing blessing from the lord.

nice pfp

That’s me rn after playing in the musical for pit 😭, Idek how I’m still awake haha

Haha yeah I'm so full of extracurriculars, AP classes, doing favors for my neighbors, and keeping up with my dad who ALWAYS wants to do some crazy thing and never rest. I'm dead tired, this week was even busier than usual. If I feel like it, I might rattle off a list of specifics.

@@beth_m that was me about a month ago I was just constantly tired

@@littlejelly4698 Today I got 2 shows to get through and play for 3 hours each. My cheeks are gonna hurt so bad while playing my clarinet that long haha

It’s also sad because certain teachers would allow sports kids an extension but not performing arts kids 🥲

Well what time period are we talking about? Because the colonizers were in the 1600s and the settlers were in the 1700 and 1800s

@@prussiaball1871 it’s actually subgroup of itself. All settlers were colonizers but not all colonizers are settlers. India is a prime example of exploitation colonization ie. for resources but not for land

SJWs are insufferable

#relatable

Same. I learned about at least 90% of the awful stuff the U.S. has done as an adult and not in school. It's ridiculous.

**slowclap**

Wow. That is- impressive. I could never. I am also in middle school and I have no patience. I've done choir, art club, started as a brownie and made it to Cadettes (no longer doing it since covid, but I am still proud of myself for the sheer amount of times I have made top seller. I've done booths since noon to 8 before, cookies wait for no one.) All of this together is nowhere near how much you've done, and I applaud you for being able to do that.

I’m waking up early for band, taking accelerated math, working out every day for water polo (including going to swim), and go to art club. Not as much, but my schedule is pretty damn full.

Don't forget to enjoy life a little. (From someone much older than you 😂)

Don't forget to take time for yourself to regroup and relax! Coming from someone who's been through the whole "never a moment 'wasted'" (as if you could waste time relaxing and recuperating)

Really? What was the paper about?

@@Rizzitriver Idk, sounds like a Twitter user

@@Rizzitriver Flashbacks to the time my English Lit teacher just highlighted half a paragraph on my essay and annotated it with “hmmm...not quite” and no further explanation

Throwback to my 10th grade English class when we were having an seminar about Things Fall Apart and I expressed my opinion on why the main character killed himself and a little personal symbolism behind it and I kid you not when my teacher pulled up the sparknotes of why he killed himself and said my opinion “was wrong”

@@Rizzitriver reminds me of my literature teacher (litteraly 5th grade and im stull salty aabout it years later) made us read a piece where the main character from a poor family was given some money to go to the carnival and later there was a question we had to answer ,,is money themost important thing TO YOU" obviously everyone including me said the same cheesy line of family and friends being more important exept for one kid who said yes and she says ,,Correct you can buy a lot with money and you need it to live" ...the kid got a better grade than the rest of us

I also played a scammer at the Hollar Coast field trip and got soap.

Same here my guy

Stop worrying. My sister failed several classes in high school but went on to be a nurse and makes good money. I worked my butt off in school and college and now I'm a stay at home mom 😂 I feel like a lot of what I learned was useless.

In uni you're an adult, you choose to go to uni and you choose what to listen to, no one cares

@@Av_on the only way I "suffered" in uni is my presenting stuff like I'm still in school, cause we all did that, then professor said "this isn't school, stop presenting like it is. We are all human, add jokes or something to make it interesting we literally don't care about the formality"

High key depends where you go and what you do. This shit ain’t true in stem when you go to a place like umich/uva/unc/ucla and esp not the Ivies

Not necessarily. Teachers may be chiller but the work load doesn't get easier.
