If the kim jongistration allowed it, I would never give out homework. Unfortunately we have strict standards to follow.

oh what the fuck? I tried to type a d m i n i s t r a t i o n

lmao, i was like "kim jongistration?" that clever bastard

What if you gave the homework out during class time?

There's too much lecture information. I try to give time for homework in class when I can though.

incorporate the homework questions within the lectures as examples of how to put what you just taught to use

>other people actually want to become smarter and more cultivated

I hope that's actually true, because the idea of a teacher (or anyone who is called on to act professional in their daily life) using funnyjunk is awesome to me for some reason.

I'm happy to tell you that yes I am in a fact a real high school instructor.

Do any of your students know that you go on FJ?

I'm an engineer who works on revamping the electrical infrastructure of New York's 7 subway line.

omg fix it.

That's 2 line not the 7.

Thank god.

Also, I'm not a field engineer, I just sit behind the computer all day drawing how everything should look out on the field.

That Feel when it doesn't.

I get you man. I live in New York (Queens to be exact)
Haven't taken the subway in aaaaaaaaaages. Do you work directly for the MTA or are you like, contracted?

Hey... I'm from Brooklyn! NYC FTW! :D

cool

I read that one word in Jake's voice.

You're an adventure time fan too!?

Don't even get me started on Adventure Time. I'm absolutely in love with the show.

It's people like you, and so many other funnyjunkers, that make me actually want to get the fuck off my computer and actually hang out with people (not that that's all I do). If only it were that simple.

Can you make a M-C test where every answer is C? Holy fuck, that would be hilarious.

It's already in next year's lesson plan.

That always scared the shit out of me. The test would always go "A B C D D C A B C" then it was like the teacher said "Fuck it" and made the rest of the next 20 questions "C C C C C C C". I was reading somewhere that if you ever doubt yourself on a multiple choice, the answer is probably C. Why is this so?

The difference...you chose your career, knowing full and well what you were getting into. You had a choice and still do. In America, kids are required to have an basic education and are shoved into the school system through no choice of their own.

I never said my job was hard. I love my job. I just lose a lot of sleep because of it. So lighten up nigga.

I'm not too sure a teacher uses the phrase "nigga".

Sorry to break this to you but the way teachers act in class is not reflective of their real-life behavior. We drink beer and margaritas at faculty meetings. I'm not making this up we literally did that just yesterday. I'm only in my 20's I can say nigga if I want to.

I'm training to be and Elementary School teacher so I have acquired a mentor in my old Elementary School. Me and her bullshit together so much after school gets out. We'll discuss how shitty parents are and how fucked up the system is. It's great, gives an uncensored version of life as a teacher.

This man speaks the truth.

Honestly, if you're not out of high school, you wouldn't understand.

Cont- It was this huge thing where the principle, the counselors, the Pig Twat, and even my parents were brought in. When we brought the issue up about her comparing being gay as not as bad as Killing her parents she fucking lied about it. What a shocker, the fucking actress can act out her lie. Even though I tried to support my claims she just ran over me. And of course that fucking twat got away with it. But let me tell you, none of the other students in that class put up with her bullshit again, she was called out on so much other shit, but because of Tenure, they basically couldn't fire her, no matter how much damage she caused.
Anyway, I have no fucking idea why this content made me remember this story, but I thought I would share a big even that happened just before I graduated. I have a shit ton of other stories about this bitch along with her threatening to take away my opportunity to walk across the stage to graduate for some stupid shit I can't even remember.

what a complete cunt. i don't use that word often, but jesus christ

I'm guessing you're referring to the teacher... yeah she was a total cunt. She forced people to do the pledge of allegiance, even though that's illegal. She once bitched a poor student out who just wanted to give a file to her from the office, she told her she was rude and that she had interrupted the class, and humiliated her by forcing her to do it the "right way" I swear that teacher was pulled out of the classroom to be talked to by the dean and principle.

yeah i was referring to the teacher. i can relate. when i was in high school i had a few teachers that were very similar. not quite as bad, but very similar.

Well.. with those bad teachers, there were also really good teachers. It's a shame the bad teachers leave more of an impression it seems...

I told some more in the comment above. I'm a little tired to post more, but I'm sure my memory of her class will come back. I'll be able to post more then.

There are plenty of stories, believe me.

If they didn't want to be kept up at night because of all the work they make us do, they shouldn't have made us do it, or is there another reason scantrons and minimum page requirements were invented?

That's probably the kim jongistration. Teachers are basically required to have students write a certain amount and take a certain number of tests or else they can't keep their jobs.

Nobody is holding a gun to their heads forcing them to teach. There are thousands of other careers to choose. Some teachers don't mind the long hours, they love their job.

I'm going to be a teacher, but it's because it's my calling. I absolutely love kids and want to help them in the best way I know how. I know there are going to be long hours and little pay but I know in the end I'll be doing what I love. And what do you expect to happen? No more teachers? No one is holding a gun to my head, but every career has difficulties because of the terms higher ups make, teachers want to teach in a certain way, but because of the kim jongistrations, they can't do that. The way to measure if you are successful in your career is if at the end of the day, through all the stresses, you love what you do and feel you are making a difference.

American public education is terribly flawed and often times unnecessary. You would be better off as a professor at a local college, but even then, it isn't much different. At least the pay is better.

Yeah... because kids having no education will certainly help them when they get into college... American Public Education is flawed, but so is every other system, especially when funded by the Government.

If you decided to follow a different path this very second, your job would be filled by the end of the week. Don't act as if you are changing the world as the sole teacher that everyone needs to pass...Flaws need to be corrected. As it stands, children k-12 don't get the true value of an education that other countries provide(this reflects in our world standing of education). Teachers often fixate on meaningless topics that the children will soon forget and won't ever use throughout their entire lives. Curriculum or not, if there is a problem, go on strike, protest, do whatever must be done. Currently, I theorize that if school hours per year were cut in half, they would receive the same level if not a better education because all of the meaningless garbage would never be taught. Also, the hours would much better suit teachers who in my opinion, are vastly underpaid.

I'm not trying to change the world, so don't try to put words in my mouth. If I can help just a few kids in my career that would be enough. If you think that this is so, go and prove it. Find out how much kids remember instead of just complaining about it. As far as I can tell you're just sitting there complaining and not doing anything to change the system for the better. Yes I realize the system is flawed, but I'm going to do my best to change it while working in the system to fix what I can. You seem to believe that taking education completely out of the system will make us a better country as a whole but you have no proof to back this up. As for me seeing the kids bloom in my training and witnessing how much they use their education, I see that there is still hope yet. So go and sulk there and complain, I'm going to work towards my career and actually do something.

1. I am recognizing an issue and discussing it, this is the only way words spread. I do not have kids, it is not my problem. I am not a teacher, it is not my problem. But that does not mean I would not fund an organization whose primary goal would be to fix education in this country. It is the teachers, staff and other educators of America that need to address the issue and lead the movement. It is the parents of children or other benefactors that need to support it.
2. "Taking education completely out of the system". Read back over my comments, where did I say such things?
3. That "bloom" you see does not last long, especially in older children. Basic education is needed, The first years of a child's education are certainly the most important. This time develops the fundamentals of language and problem solving. It is beyond that; later years of elementary and all the way to their senior year where information becomes increasingly pointless. Children should be able to choose their path through school more so than they can now. Some of the most wasted education sits with math. Calculus, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry all are useless forms of math to learn. Most of the children who take such courses will not ever use it again and will inevitably forget it. The time wasted was precious tax payer dollars, money that could have been put to better use. You might say "Students seeking a career will have been glad to learn those specific math skill sets." You would be wrong. High school students will most likely change their career path several times before graduating college. And if they still happen to seek a career in such a field, they would still be trained on the job regardless of education level. Not to mention, with modern day technology, it is no longer necessary to learn. Basic math skills are all that is needed. I could go on all day long and I did in my thesis.

1: I am also recognizing the issue, yet you keep speaking to me as if I haven't. You can try to fix it your way, I'm going to try to fix it my way. And unlike you I have worked with several teachers who are trying to change the system, just because you haven't recognized the effort doesn't mean that an effort isn't being made.
2: You keep saying that education is useless like you would much rather it be non existent.
3: Even though you may not see the bloom yourself later in life, kids still do have it, they have passions that they want to pursue, they find a passion in writing, in electronics, in music, in art, in math, they just don't show it because they want to act "cool" in front of their friends, and they most likely wouldn't discover those passions without school, public or private. The level I am teaching is that basic elementary level that they most certainly do need. But because of my career education I do have experience with those kids where they reveal to me their passions. Of course the education system introduces them to things they may not use, but it depends from state to state. As for me. I never learned trig, or calculus , or really anything past geometry and college algebra, but that was my choice. I decided to work towards the career I thought I was going for, to dip my feet into the water so to speak. Even in college you are forced to take classes that may not be towards your career like the pre-reqs you have to take. The school system wants to expose you to all sorts of different things so you can make a definitive choice towards your career. And of course highschool kids and even college kids change their minds a lot, that's what they're supposed to do. Even I changed my major in college from psychology to education.

I don't even know what we're arguing about, we both have the same goals, we just have different ways of looking at it and different solutions.

They chose that job. We didn't make them. We HAVE to, by LAW, go to school.

>Jesuit School
You really expect anything different?

I know, right?

i get up at 5:30 every morning i doubt most teachers wake up earlier then that

They usually have free periods to grade things and make tests and quizzes. They can also say, "I didn't have any time to grade your tests last night" and get away with it.
