It's like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
Someone told me that if I wanted to be a history teacher I should get a degree in special Ed to "make myself more marketable." It took 14 years to get out of special education and land a job teaching history

Louisiana public schools now required to display 'In God We Trust' in all classrooms
Social studies teacher here. Aside from the obvious church/state problems with this, there might be an easy way around it for teachers: put up a poster with a dollar bill on it. Less conspicuous, still follows the letter of the shitty law.

"Assume the role of a Chinese immigrant"? 没问题.
History teacher here. If this was turned in to me, rhe first thing I'd do is laugh, then have a conversation with the student. If s/he says they'd be ok with me emailing a copy of this to their parents (I'm assuming the parents speak Chinese), then I'd just give them an A for pure gall. If the kid isn't from a Chinese-speaking family, I'd probably still give him/her kudos and then make them turn in whatever they put into Google translate to begin with. But really, this is the kind of malicious compliance I wish my students had the creativity to pull off.

Houston school district to turn libraries into disciplinary centers
Teacher here. I'm fucking speechless. What kind of people remove a library and claim it as a win? The only people who do that are shooting for authoritarian regimes where the people are kept stupid.

Men will never understand
Now, I may just be a man, but the woman's arms on that last one don't look quite right. Is someone else holding the swords for her?

All this excess of information, games, shows and everything else is ruining our boredom, which is usually what leads us to think more creatively
Teacher here. Kids want the quick dopamine hit from their phones and their school-supplied chromebooks. They do not want to take the time to try something that might be hard, and they do not want to stretch their brains at all

Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”
History teacher here. I find it incredibly ironic that a guy whose entire livelihood depends on unpaid workers to generate profits for him while he sits on his porch drinking sweet tea comfortable desk chair describes those workers as the "landed gentry."

Missouri has decided to turn down millions in federal food aid for low-income children
Feds: "We have money that you can give to families so kids can eat over the summer."
MO politicians: "That seems like it would be a lot of hard work for us, so nah."

As someone who has seen Star Wars, this is hilarious because it honestly makes a ton more sense than the shit that actually ended up on screen.

World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
Wow. The argument against trans women in sports is already unscientific enough. Why is chess even split into gendered categories? This just makes zero sense.

People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?
There are, in fact, no products in that empty drawer. I promise I'm not hiding them from you, ma'am.

I'm definitely making more of an effort now, but that's because of how conscious I am about the site needing user interaction.

What's this about a fight?
I may not care about your search history, but I had to look at a shirtless Elon Musk without so much as a warning, so I think we might be even there.
