  • I’m sorry, but what? I’m a dad to a teen and a new teacher as well, so I have experience in this area.

    Everyone is unhinged. Get a grip.

    You really don’t understand the profession of teaching if that’s your takeaway of what I said. We all get frustrated with students, but to plainly say “shoot” them, while in a literal school and over social media because a student closed your laptop?

    A student teacher shouldn’t be this frustrated at this point in their career or they should consider a different career. Kids do this stuff all the time, especially to each other. Open the laptop, boot up, recover the documents/projects. It’s really not a big deal that warrants a comment about shooting a kid, even as a joke.

    If you really feel that is acceptable, then thank you for not teaching kids.


  • I am a teacher who finished his student teaching the past school year in the Chicagoland area.

    I just want to say…the FUCK? This woman was pissed because a student closed her laptop? She claims it “wiped” her lesson plan? No. I’m calling baloney on that story. Her stuff was saved in a cloud environment and would’ve been recovered easily or the OS would’ve saved the working doc.

    If this student teacher was frustrated over this extremely small thing, and made a comment like that even “joking” then she is not cut out to be a teacher. At. All. This incident also just killed her career. No school will hire her with this story out there. What a moronic thing to do/say!

    The tech issue of flagging this is just a whole other issue though and a good reminder to be careful of context because we are being monitored even when seemingly not.



  • And in the “real” world you can get fired for not doing your job or being on your phone too much. There are legit consequences that can applied without much pushback. In schools, you can’t just kick a kid out forever for fucking with their phone after multiple warnings and detentions. You can, however, confiscate the phone for the remainder of the class, or have them keep it in their locker to check during breaks, which is exactly what this bill is doing. To be honest, that’s what teachers were doing anyway in most schools so this is really just a formality.











  • I agree and think that he will yield to Steve. We will know more of Banner’s fate in Spider-Man because I’m also curious. We know that he’s involved somehow with a faction because of appearing with Captain Marvel in the Shang Chi end credits scene.

    I’m wondering if there’s basically a West Coast and East Coast Avengers. Then there’s the New Avengers (Thunderbolts). So many factions. I don’t think Thor is on any team and if Sam and Banner are split then I bet Thor would side with Banner.
