They all either got fired or left after one year for better paying jobs. It was kinda sad. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Jan 24, 2019 |

Well, she really likes it & shows an interest in calligraphy so we upgraded her pens with new nibs, fancy color inks, blah, blah blah. She dove right in. This kinda reminds me that at some point as a kid I noticed the difference between printing and writing and thought it looked cool and was a thing all adults did so I had my mom teach me script before we learnt it in school. As far as I remember I picked it up quickly and pretty well so little me was proud to use it in class. Of course, the teacher was furious that I was writing in script before she taught it and demanded I stop doing it. So I did and to this day I still write in ugly if legible print.

Of course, the teacher was furious that I was writing in script before she taught it and demanded I stop doing it. So I did and to this day I still write in ugly if legible print. Crap! Now I remember, I was in 1st grade and saw through the window of the 3rd grade door the signs of script writing on the wall, the old timey ones if you had them. I also thought it was cool and advancedd so I started learning it myself. But the same: the teacher got mad. On a similar vein, in jr high we had to write the wonderful Book Report poo poo, and I had been reading adult books since like, grade 3 or some poo poo cause my mom made me. So I read Catcher in the Rye and wrote about it and wrote a long rear end essay and the sentence I distinctly remember that I wrote was "he seemed to have mental problems" cause she underlined it in huge red lines and in red pen wrote "you'll only understand this when you're older. Read young adult novels from now on." So I spent the rest of the year reading books about girls getting their periods. Dumb rear end insecure bitch that rear end in a top hat DID have mental problems. BTW in her class we also had to take those bullshit personality quizzes like "what's your animal persona" or whatever and I was confused as poo poo by the lipstick one she handed to girls. It was along the lines of, " after much usage, if your lipstick is still at an angle, it means you're Nice, if it's round, it means you're Well Rounded" whatever and I was confused as hell because as mentioned in a previous post, the year before I was told not to wear lipstick so  E: oh in that school one semester we had to teach old people how to use the computer. Well, they treated the old people like they were mentally challenged 5 year olds so I went out of my way to teach the lady I was "assigned" to, to teach her how to ACTUALLY use a computer and she got it pretty much immediately because she's an adult with a brain. And at this point I had just been using word and the internet so it's not like I was some programmer: that's how dumbed down it was: They literally just told the kids to teach the old people to click on buttons on internet explorer.

There was a period of time in middle school where my band teacher had jury duty for a couple months and the TA took over. One day, the class was super unruly and the TA just had no control over the situation. Seeing how flustered he was, I stood on my seat and yelled "SHUT THE gently caress UP EVERYONE." I got rewarded by being sent to what they called the "SAC" room. I forgot what SAC stood for. But if you get sent there, you're basically suspended for the day. You have to sit there, do nothing, and they call your parents to let them know. I was terrified. The old security guard asked me what I did to get sent there. I explained the situation, and he was like "That's stupid." He didn't call my parents and I got to spend the rest of the hour reading Nintendo and got to go to the next class like nothing happened. Looking back, the band teacher was awesome. He hosted a MUD Club, and every once in a while, we had video game parties. Someone brought over GTAIII at the height of the craze and he paid no mind. He was crazy into whatever the PS2 Baldur's Gate was out at the time.

In grade school when we had indoor recess they gave us decks of cards to play with so we had something to do. I brought a deck of cards with me my first year of high school and got in trouble. Not for gambling, but because "sometimes people hide porn on decks of cards". I showed the staff member that my cards were indeed just a plain set that contained no porn, but evidently just the potential that they could was enough to get detention. My math teacher would pour a whole bucket of water on people that fell asleep in class. Gave everyone else an opportunity to move to the side of the room first so they didn't get wet. Called it a baptism. Nuggan fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jan 24, 2019 |

The school system I work in has a rule that you can only restrain a kid with one arm. So if two 17 year olds are killing each other, I'm only allowed to use one arm to pull them off of each other. I've never gotten an actual explaination for this rule. Also, the rules on physically touching a student are so strict that teachers won't even try to stop fights (other than yelling to stop and calling the police). So kids end up getting beat to a pulp until the police arrive, or the kid doing the beating gets exhausted. spacetoaster fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jan 24, 2019 |

Dude I’d be pissed off if the school even thought it was in a teachers job description or duties to restrain a student or break up fights. Seems like a huge insurance liability that they even imply that a teacher should involve themselves with student scuffles. Plus like a hundred different ways a teacher can do a crime or grievance in the process and get the school sued.

It's  time.The 70s were a different loving world. No one gave a poo poo about any of the stuff which seems to ruin modern school life. So, here's a post about all the rules your parents didn't have to deal with. I spent most of my early education at rural and semi rural schools all over Australia, so a big part of my education was drugs and guns and loving in the bike sheds. In primary school, each year level had their own massive tree they were allowed to climb, but the older students started jumping from their tree to the roof of the library and climbing over it to classroom windows and writing rude words on the glass. We were little kids in the 70s, so it's was mostly 'bum' and 'poo poo'. Staff did nothing until about the third kid broke a whole bunch of bones falling off the roof, then they cut all the good branches off. Yet they kept the two story tall monkey bars which demanded a constant sacrifice of blood and teeth There was a monkey puzzle tree out behind the ovals, and every year there were quiet wars waged during recess and lunch where we would just brutalise each other with the thousands of razor sharp whips which fell from it. Anyone who could climb more than a few metres up the tree was hailed as a god. No teacher or parent ever questioned why all the students would be covered in cuts all over their legs and arms. Hooray for adult apathy. If we had to go to town for whatever reason, teachers would point us where we needed to go and we'd all walk along the footpath in a loose rabble while the teachers walked along behind us smoking cigarettes and occasionally shouting to get off the loving road you little shits. Moving on the 80s now, and secondary school. If kids were going shooting over the weekend, they were allowed to bring their rifles and shotguns to school, but had to tell a teacher who would put them behind their desk. The kids would just keep the ammo in their bags. Some older kids were allowed to drive tractors to school and whenever someone would rock up with a trailer, it was game on to see just how many screaming kids you could fit in the back of it while they drove around in circles. The teachers would cheer us on, often throwing students back into the trailer if they fell off. From year 7 to year 10, I think more than half my classmates had at least one broken bone at one time of the other. Either from loving around at school or at home. Falling out of trees. Falling off shipping containers where we kept all the sports equipment. Running down the small hill between sections of the school at a million miles and hour and eating poo poo at the bottom. There were old rundown houses behind the year 11 and 12 section of the school which were once home to permanent staff. By our time they were empty and perfect for smoking weed. Amazingly no one ever set them on fire. Probably too damp from all the adolescent semen that got spilled in there as boys and girls did what boys and girls love to do. And often boys and boys  And presumably girls and girls, but that tended to leave less semen. So, that's the fun stuff from the old days. But there was a hell of a lot of ugly poo poo that went on which everyone turned a blind eye to. No mandatory reporting in those days. For anything. There's a reason your parents turned out like they did.

Back around 1980 in high school my chemistry teacher ok'd my after school experiments in the chem lab to make gun-cotton for building my own model rocket engines and also making nitrous oxide. A friend and I even lit off one of cardboard tubes we had stuffed the gun cotton into in the hallway. Made a lot of smoke (This was before smoke detectors). I learned a lot about making explosives from that teacher. God Bless America.

My physics teacher let me make a slow burning fuse straight out of the anarchist's cookbook as part of the final. It was a pretty cool project, you had to build something that would take at least two minutes from start to finish with at least ten energy transfers that would drop a ball into a cup at the end, then write a report about what happened with all the energy. I needed a few inches of the fuse to get my two minutes so of course I made like 10 feet and she didn't even blink. That was a great class.

I was a confrontational, angsty punk kid in HS and I only ever got into 2 fights, 1 of which was overall pretty tame and was broken up quickly, and the other of which ended with the other kid suspended, since instead of actually punching or hitting me he just clawed up my face like an angry monkey.

At least at my university it was generally brought up in most edu courses that there might come times you gotta lay hands on someone and they showed us a few elbow holds and stuff that will probably not get you sued into oblivion. But it was very much stressed that it's a judgement call you can only make in the situation and to be pretty drat sure of your district's insurance policies or coverage.
