I was going to do a house warden series but got too busy

Imagine teaching Pride and Prejudice to teenage boys (while girls are in the room). Imagine teaching it to teenage boys going through puberty and, generally speaking, a hard time. Imagine refusing to let the boys ruin it for the girls with their bad attitude, which they often try to do. Imagine refusing to simply shut them down in a way that makes them shut down but instead finding the right path for them to still be able to respond to it but only appropriately. Imagine working really hard to give them space to have their own opinions but once again not allowing them to express those opinions in a way that sucks the air out of the room for all the other students. Imagine dealing every day with the waves of struggling teen boy entrenched-in-the-culture misogyny that the work brings out of them and that they direct at you. Imagine having to make it a top priority to not allow their attitude to make you hate them but treat them with respect and appropriate friendliness, even though the attitudes they display ARE profoundly unlikable and they push you to the edge of hating them every day. Now imagine doing all of this while both your principal and the revered founder of your school who occasionally pops up into your life (both men) speak dismissively on Jane Austen. Imagine.

was it like a canon middle school event to have a fat fuckin crush on either ralph macchio, matt dillon or rob lowe after watching the outsiders movie or was that just my grade

Plushies in their natural habitat, day something:

The Gremoblin, the donut isopod, and Susan the Monster hang out on top of the shelf holding the blankets I use for fabric for fuzzy plushies (behind them you can kinda see a giant elephant that used to be my grandma’s and…I think that’s the alpaca cria prototype? I’m not entirely sure)

Greetings Tumblr!

Quick question.

Just out of curiosity, how would you go about trying to figure out what the fuck this says?

in a class this term about literary awards where we read only winners of a specific award and i'll be honest i straight up cannot read another book where they use disability as a metaphor

my seniors have been so quiet all year and it’s been fine cause we’ve had a lot of writing/research to do but I need them to talk to me now so i was hit by a bolt of inspiration two days ago and I made them all tell me their comfort level with sharing aloud, rating themselves on a scale of 1-10. I then averaged the class score and they’re a 4.5. I then told them yesterday we needed to raise the score the tiniest bit. And the 1’s and 2’s didn’t need to be 10’s just maybe 3’s and 4’s. And they tried! They talked more 😭

you know one of the most ridiculous things when learning english? you learn words like hear, dear, year, ear, near, and bear. can you see the frustrating one? why is it like that?

and after that it just keeps going…

i love skeleton crew and assassination classroom for treating schoolwork with the same amount of urgency as battle to the death. like yes when i was 13-15 my math tests did in fact make me feel like i was in the middle of a fight where my opponet had a machine gun and all i had was a knife. and yes my ACT did in fact feel as urgent as being stranded in space with no help other than a half senile robot and a morally gray pirate. such is life as an early teenager.

it sucks to have auditory processing issues when trying to communicate in your second language bc you will be doing just fine with most people and then you meet someone with a heavier or unfamiliar accent or who doesn't enunciate as clearly and you're cooked

i'm taking business 101 this term bc it was an easy social science credit, and the professor always takes a 5 minute break halfway through his lecture-

i've been to two lectures now and for those breaks he played good luck babe and cabinet man respectively. he's a 50 something retired harvard business graduate, where is he getting these songs

Love it how ass class said "if you try to teach your kids by shouting at them the only thing they'll learn is how to try and predict you so you don't shout at them" and literally everything else they said in there. Gold show.

From my Spanish notes: Jacobe in prison with Shaqtus → 40 days pass → gets on a plane and DIES. Shaqtus watched fortnite videos in hotel. Jacobe → market → buys drugs. shaqtus hallucinated. they (one being dead) returned to Bangladesh on Sunday. So: Jacob → died → went to market (as a rotting corpse) → bought drugs (still very much a corpse) → went home (still very much rotting).
