More teacher comics, please! 🥲
If this were real, one of the kids who admits they have no idea what they’re doing would have already, quite confidently, stolen a pair scissors from god knows where, cut out every single square, then arranged them in numerical order. Only THEN would they admit to not knowing wtf they’re doing.
This is why being a chemistry teacher will turn your hair white.
Instructions are written out, I’ve modeled every step, “please read the entire lab first and make sure you understand every step before you start.”
But now one group is filling a beaker with indicator and another is fucking up their data beyond recognition because they forgot you have to tare the scale (which you already explained and modeled to that group personally, because they do this every time).
When you chose lab activities/materials, the consideration is “in what ways could the most determined teenager hurt themselves or others?” Kids will drink chemicals, spill them on themselves, and mix them at random. At least one group per period will fuck up any given lab beyond all recognition, in shocking and new creative ways.
It’s why so much is done with baking soda and vinegar. I can hit pretty much every standard and concept with those two and some alka seltzer tablets, and I can’t think of a way that a teenager could kill themselves with those things.
If this was real, all three would be punished for asking stupid questions and then get the lowest grade for not finishing the assignment
That child would then be labeled “gifted” at highschool, crash and burn as an adult, and be finally diagnosed withADHD at the age of 28.
A couple of them would have already lost (or “lost”) their worksheet.
Several kids started coloring before being given directions.
Another one just doodled random things on the sheet
Poor kid is just colourblind, undiagnosed.
I think that should become clear in kindergarten no?
My highschool friend was colorblind and nearly failed kindergarten. They would ask him to color things red and he’d be like “it’s all red?” and paint the whole page blue
Failed kindergarten? You guys can fail the first year of school, the one where all you do is play with toys and learn how to interact with other children?
In my country, yeah you might need to retake it. I mean if you’re not understanding the concept presented why force your passing to have you struggle at you’re second year if school. But that will not be considered failling just retaking.
OK, I think I was just thrown by the use of “passing” and “failing”. Repeating the first year based on development makes sense, but “passing” and “failing” imply you’re taking some kind of written exam and need to qualify for a position!
In my area of the USA what you described would be called preschool which, yes, you can fail. My sibling was held back because they were shy. Here kindergarten is more structured learning like any other grade.
Those Blair Witch hands… 😨
Clearly they thought the numbers were imaginary so they colored them both red AND blue which of course makes green. Is it time for recess yet?
Teaching children became much easier for me once I realized that I occasionally phase completely out of their perceivable reality.
I’ve learned to coach them through active listening practices to find out what they have even heard for the first time, yet. Regardless of how many times I’ve repeated myself.
Green is not a creative colour!
I’ve seen that around. The first time was so e graffiti in the bathroom at college. What is that reference?
Listen to the voices in your brain
For some people, that may not be good advice.
Flee, before you find out. Trust me, it’s for your own …San, What’s your favorite idea? Mine is being creative
Oh man, enjoy watching the “don’t hug me I’m scared” series for the first time. It’s a good time, fair warning though that the show can be pretty unsettling so keep that in mind if you’re going to be in an … Uh … Altered state of mind 😉
More unsettling than saladfingers?
Way to summarize a two party system
You let them have more than blue and red on the table. This is what you have done wrong.
“Of course, smartypants. Green is for imaginary and complex numbers, yellow for transcendental real numbers, orange for other irrational real numbers, and brown for rational numbers. If you encounter any other kind of number, I’ll tell you which color to use.”
But all numbers are imaginary. They will color everything green
This is ridiculous, obviously even is blue and odd is red
Odd is kiki, even is bouba.
