Also fucking idiotic. Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid, or rather encourages them by giving them the incredible power of fucking up the day of several dozen other kids?
Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid
The key thing here is that this isn't designed to directly discourage the kid, the purpose of doing this is to get the other kids to let's say do some creative persuasion techniques to not do that again. You might recognize this as one of the stereotypical methods that a military would do when dealing with problem soldier, punish the whole unit/squad instead of the single soldier.
If that kid continues to intentionally fuck up the day of every other person in the class the rest of the class gets sick of it and beats their ass.
Or, in reality, it changes the actions of the asshole from a funny thing all the other kids laugh at and encourage to an annoying thing where everybody else tells them to fuck off because it keeps ruining their day and they stop because they aremt gettingnpositive reingorcement from it.
Are we really gonna do another round of the "homework is fascism and bedtimes are against human rights" struggle session.
Had it pulled on classes I was in in Jr high, we figured out that if that's the threat we might as well all be disruptive. Collective punishment is a great way to foster collective resistance, what are we gonna do, beat the kid that got us in trouble in his bunk with bars or soap in socks who probably was doing something that made us laugh or the teacher who we all probably hate already and is the one who made that choice?
I just rolled with those moments and often they resolved themselves if I kept my cool or even joined in.
One example was a kid that was outright breakdancing before the first bell right in the middle of the classroom.
I (truthfully) acknowledged he was amazing but that he had til the second bell to clear out. He spun on his head and shoulder like a top and the first kids to come in had a good time watching before they started sliding desks into place.
I hope its an English class where their next assignment is writing a persuasive essay and one student's topic is "why our teacher should be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity"
I'm old enough that saying these words around my young nephews and nieces gets such a funny reaction. I'm on the frontlines of making these words uncool you're welcome
Zoomers hate it bc it's "too stupid" and not edgy or political enough to have a dedicated punchline
it looks like it was made in orange box and it's the scatman singing nonsense, both things that materialized and got popular respectively, around 2010
The Boomer --> Millennial --> Alpha
and
Xer --> Zoomer --> ???
chain continues
high dopamine contentness and convolution of randomness vs. softer muted (but sometimes very hyper) aesthetics
"Mooom, today the teacher asked what would we wanted to be when grown up, and I told him "rich and famous like Elon Musk" and he started twitching and saying stuff like "double colon corporate art, double colon stonks, double colon pathethic""
You're the man now dog. Someone set us up the bomb main screen turn on it's you how are you gentlemen all your base are belong to us you have no chance to escape make your time
Middle school is the woooooorst. Thats the peak of "kids are brutal" and bullying and shit. For me things started to chill out more each year of highschool. But 6th-8th were just awful for me.
