yeah that was weird
there was a whole thing a while back saying absolutely vile shit about women that like pumpkin spice lattes
Tiktok cannot do it better. Tiktok is an app designed to hold attention. If you are more engaged by cat videos than geometry tiktok will not try and show you geometry
that is true I just wish we culturally made more of a thing of it. If we are to treat it seriously as a holiday it should involve days off work and events
it’s just a bit underwhelming. Kids knock on your door and you watch a scary movie. You don’t even get a day off and it’s not an all day thing it’s just early night
yeah but realistically no one is ever going to be leaping for joy about cleaning toilets
people like christmas and november sucks. Christmas has expanded because everyone wanted it to. Halloween sucks as a holiday and frankly October would be better if it was Christmas
yeah but that should probably be handled by a disability support structure at the school
having to look at what the kid is doing and judge things on a case by case basis would eat into lesson time which is already stretched thin with class management as it is
education is a benefit in and of itself. Maths helps develop your brain to solve problems, english makes you more able to appreciate culture which in turn will make you more interesting and better able to socialise, history helps you understand how the world is and that it used to and can be different.
These things are worth learning even if you don’t do them for work
I dissagree information written in a book is a perfectly valid way of conveying it. Obviously lies about history shouldn’t be taught but that’s not a problem with the medium
just doing tests as a memory exercise is also not good
i do have some sympathy for teachers taking phones away because I had one class in school where a kid would play that noise outside the frequency adults can hear really loudly the whole time on his phone.
Also memes and texting friends are always going to win out over algebra and english class if they are an option right there
well he’s clearly a dumbass now so whatever happened with that degree he can’t have learned all that much
I think he did actually major in physics
wear dress that is explicitly designed to dehumanize you
it’s not desinged to dehumanise that’s the least charitable possible interpretation
also you don’t think they’re the same because you have been raised thinking one is normal and one isn’t
you’re the one who wants to tell the teacher on islam
we have enforced dress on a gendered basis in our society
also the french had soldiers on beaches ripping off islamic garments there is no reason to trust they would handle this with any sensitivity whatsoever
yeah if you discount all the secular motives behind the wars of the reformation as well. The French have basically always been trying to keep Germany down as Germany’s large population worries them financially and militarily. Henry the 8th didn’t convert for religious reasons he converted because he needed a strong male heir to keep the plantagenots at bay and the pope wouldn’t let him annul his marriage to Catharine of Aragon who kept having stillbirths
it takes a while to get good
