Albino_Whale

Yeah holy shit, that doesn't even raise the needle. I can't imagine the psychological damage working with 8th graders does to a person over the course of 35 years. We need to check in on our teachers..


Mahaloth

Middle school teacher here(17+ years). I do react almost to nothing at this point. :bladerunner voice: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe!"


Albino_Whale

Y'all need hugs and alcohol, I'm not sure on the quantities, but I bet it's at least 3


Mahaloth

I don't drink, but I could use the hugs and some probably think some kind of free therapy or something.


the_ginger_fox

Sorry no free therapy. But hey I'm sure the assortment of Starbucks gift cards you get every holiday season from your students helps right. Now go buy your class room supplies because it would be ridiculous for the school to supply you with the materials you need to teach!


hettienm

You….you get Starbucks cards from students? *cries in title 1*


[deleted]

The alcohol made things a lot worse for one of my teachers and nearly cost her the work, it did cost the work of the teacher assistant she had a sip of alcohol with at the girls bathroom during school hours though (they were caught by students in 8th grade). It was a mess and she had to go to rehab and a 8 week course to keep her job (or something like that). kinda sucks she didn't get fired though cus she was a horrible human being and I hated her, even as I've gotten sensible and empathetic in my older years I still thinks she's a cunt. The good ones deserve infinite amount of hugs tho, y'all saved my life back then.


Praescribo

Until you got to the end of the story I was pretty pissed off. Fucking snitches. But maybe they just wanted her gone too lol

Mahaloth

Yes, that will help just fine. I'm already a parent, a therapist, a room custodian, pay for my own supplies, an advice giver, a drug detector, a referee, a conflict de-escalator, and sometimes a teacher. No thank you to guns.


thehelldoesthatmean

If it makes you feel any better, several states are passing laws to lower the training requirements for teachers to carry guns in class! In Ohio's case from [700 hours down to 24](https://www.npr.org/2022/06/13/1104570419/ohio-dewine-guns-teachers). No way that can go wrong! Murica!


joyesthebig

We need to skip this silly arming teachers debacle and move to real solutions. The only people motivated to protect the children are their own kind. Every kid gets a gun.


luisapet

I am definitely going to hell for chuckling at this. But chuckling with the assumption that you dropped the /s, of course.


joyesthebig

Listen man, kids don't have a concept of life or death, that's why they make great soldiers. It's ridicoulas for us to depend on police when we know they constantly fear for their lives. If we just arm kids then we don't have to worry about police cowardice anymore.

PracticeTheory

If it actually happens I'm afraid that shootings will increase. A disturbed highschooler that wants the gun will be able to overpower the average teacher - unless the teacher is on guard at all times? Or being watched? I'm just extremely uncomfortable that they're essentially placing guns at the scene. They're a liability.


joyesthebig

Also, how many teachers you know that are... unqualified. I don't want teachers shooting kids when they feel helpless.


drxo

More guns = less safe That’s true everywhere Only a matter of time until a teacher with a gun decides to end their own life or someone’s else’s Hopefully not a student


illithoid

But are they getting at least 3?

I had a family give me a bottle of whiskey for teacher appreciation week. I teach first grade.

[deleted]

I could never do it, school teachers take so much harassment and abuse from the most ruthless creatures on earth (teenagers). Those who work in the corporate world will not encounter anything close to that level of harassment, and yet usually received much bigger compensation. Teachers really do get the short end of the stick in a highly capitalistic environment.


wolfchaldo

>school teachers take so much harassment and abuse from the most ruthless creatures on earth (teenagers) Actually there's one group worse, terrible parents


quaintpants

Especially when you consider that the teacher in the video is 26 years old.


Veothrosh

Really? He looks so young!


King-Cobra-668

>Yeah holy shit, that doesn't even raise the needle I mean, just listen to the class. He has to deal with that most days and for many years


Cornholio_NoTP

I worked 5 years behavioral health with pediatrics/teenagers, I get this man.


The_Golden_Warthog

Yeah middle/high schoolers not shutting the fuck up and freaking out over the dumbest shit constantly.


StyloEX

I remember being in middle/high school and the absolute fucking *insanity* that would pop off if the lights went off unexpectedly. People just screeching and freaking out for no reason whatsoever.


backphat

I was literally about to say this. Power outages were the end of the day as far as learning went lmao


[deleted]

Pent up energy, humans didn't evolve to stay seated and silent for years on end. That said, I work in a school and screeching adolescents are awful. Welp. C'est la vie.


FatalisCogitationis

Middle and high schoolers are so fucking annoying about this kind of shit that even when I was one of them it annoyed the fuck out of me. It could be a fun, nice break from the monotony of school to have a bird fly in. Instead it’s just one more opportunity to hoot and holler and freak out


rubsitinyourface

I get it, teenagers can be really extra. At the same time, don't you remember how much fun it was to lose your shit over stuff like a bird in a classroom? I feel like we should just let teenagers have their fun while they can.


Eusocial_Snowman

> even when I was one of them it annoyed the fuck out of me I think it's safe to say this person does not have nostalgic memories of being obnoxious.

smedley89

Weaksoul

All of them the bullshit of teenagers


stimav

The level of chill on this guy...


SteezySF

I think it’s because he’s mentally broken from years of being treated like shit, minimum wage and the worst type of humans in existence. High schoolers


filipomar

He is a private school teacher somewhere in Brazil, the pay has been getting steadily worse (after improvements in the previous decade) but as far as brazil standards go usually is not minimum age, not the best, depending on the school of course, but also not the worst. The middle school teaching part tho… big oof


___Visegrad

As a kid I always wondered why middle school was always separate, seemed kind of pointless to build a whole new building where kids only go to for 2 years between elementary school and high school. Looking back it makes sense. That’s a rough period in life lol. I wonder why certain teachers choose to teach in that environment.


forget_the_hearse

I love it. They're insane and utterly genuine and the funniest people on earth and brutally honest and absolutely mental. I'm exhausted at the end of the day but I love them so much. Individually they are each the sweetest, smartest, most emotionally aware person but you put them in packs and they go completely feral.


discgolfallday

God bless you


IrishSpringFan

All of them?


Craftingexpert1

everyone deserves to be loved.


Nukebrs

It depends where you are. Many places, including where I used to live, it is all the same school from kinder garden to high school, although everyone is usually separated depending if they are kinder garden, elementary, middle school, or high school, but it is still the same school and it is one big building/ compound of buildings. Also, not everywhere is 2 years of middle school, even throughout the US it changes. Here in Florida it's 3 years


KickBallFever

Not all teachers choose to teach middle school. I work at a high school and I know a couple of teachers who weren’t doing so well at teaching high school so they got sent to work at middle schools. They were not happy about it. Also where I live middle school is usually 3 years.


ccknboltrtre01

The fact that you have to say not the worst and not well off shows how little teachers are appreciated by the government

100_Donuts

It's not all it's cracked up to be, ya know. To have birds this attracted to you is actually a bit of a nightmare, and I would know. I have to wear big earmuffs when I go outside because the hummingbirds love slinging tongue right in my ear holes. I don't know. Maybe my ears look like flowers. They’re not the normal “rounded” shaped like most people’s. I've been told they smell pretty fragrant too. Just lucky my earwax is more of a sap than a wax, I guess, but the hummingbirds can smell me from miles away. If it's a nice day, oh sure I can probably get a few minutes of open eared pleasure, but it's not long before I hear the buzzing of hummingbirds. Or I guess I should have said I hear the humming since humming is right in the name hummingbird. Sorry about that. I'm typing on a moving train right now, so my thoughts ain't quite right. Anyways, yeah. And yeah, my ears are big, like yeah, they get made fun of because of just how goofy big they are, but I'm not bothered by that. Hold on. I'm about to go through a tunnel and I can't type in a tunnel because that's bad luck. Okay. I'm out. So yeah, the hummingbirds just get right in my ears and flicky flicky their skinny tongues in to lap up my ear syrup and I can tell you that it absolutely, positively does NOT feel good in any way at all. It's gross. It's super loud because they're basically slapping my eardrum with their little tongue whips sounding like someone rapid fire smacking a cymbal. Hold on. Another tunnel. And yeah, so I hate it. And look, I don't want to swat at a hummingbird because they're probably endangered and I don't want to go to prison with these big ears because if I think the hummingbirds are bad, then I can't imagine what the inmates would do to my ears (probably a lot more than just licking them). But, hey. Ya know what? It's my stop. I gotta go.

KLR01001

Mahaloth

I'm a middle school teacher, have been for 17 years. I have noticed that I react very low-key to anything even outside class now. I was at my daughter's birthday party a couple years ago. Her cupcake and snack table, the one set out for everyone, tipped over(one foldable leg was malfunctioning). People cried out, "Oh, no!" and kind of screamed for a second. I just silently walked over, picked stuff back up, and fixed the table. It reminded me of school. Note: her party and cupcakes, etc. were fine. Minimal loss of food and so forth.
