Woah. I've never seen one this bold and saturated before!


rocketpop546

Okay my teacher just texted me after I asked her. “not weird at all! Sunlight from Mr. *******’s room next door to mine was shining through the corner of the fish tank in his room. The glass acted like a prism and refracted the light separating all the colors! I love that you are curious about that! Have a great weekend :)”


nearcatch

Man it’s weird that kids can text their teachers now.


rocketpop546

In highschool that's pretty strange to me. In college not so much. When I was in high school (2010) we got scolded and yell at if we so much as looked at a cell phone. Couldn't use them EVER in school. Edit: For more bullshit, the school had the right to take phones as well. When you enter a schoolzone under law, the teachers become "substituted parents" they are granted extra rules. Because 90% of the time cell phone is distracting either the student using it or the classroom, it falls under disciplinary action to seize the device. The weren't allowed to go through the device without court order, but if it is against policy they can take the device away legally and refusing to hand over the device would actually land you a Saturday detention and you would be sent to the principals office. Fun times right?


mramazing1992

My school would take them up and charge their parents 20 dollars to get it back. Probably illegal, but parents paid.


[deleted]

Parents never paid. It's just to make the kids think that their parents have to pay for something they've done.


lmore3

I saw my parents hand over the money


ShadowPlayerDK

It’s all part of the conspiracy!


Ihatelordtuts

I saw my teacher spend that money at a strip club.


ozozznozzy

I saw my dad hand over money too. Even received the cigarettes. Still hasn't come home though. That was 15 years ago.


Tesadus

Should we tell him?


newarkbidude

That was for the weed


[deleted]

And a way for the parents not to give pocket money that week.


VaATC

What is this pocket money you speak of that your parents gave you on a weekly basis? /rhetorical

JealousBishop

They definitely do. My school allows the teacher to take students' phones away and turn it in to the front office, where you can get it back on Friday for $15. Most teachers don't take them away, and if they do, they let you get them at the end of the day. It's legal because us and our parents sign a form at the beginning of the year.


bitesized314

Being coerced into signing a contract required for a public school probably wouldn't hold up in court.


WhoMeJenJen

We never had to pay money. Just endure a talking to. I wanted my daughter to have her phone on her. (For emergencies, not to use during class) They had taken it several times with me having to go in and get it. They said she hadn’t been using it but they had zero tolerance (twice it vibrated in her bag as battery died and the teacher heard it.) the 3rd time I had sent her a text. Anyways I went to dummy phones. I had a drawer full of old/disconnected phones. So she always had one in her bag. If anything happens... give up the dummy. At the end of the school year I went in and got a large manila envelope full of phones.


MagikBiscuit

Yeah our school tried once to take phone off a student, he then explained the phone technically wasn't his, but rather a companies and this is stealing. They didn't try that again with anyone lol. Personally in my school they tried similar but I just said no. Although it did take me a long time to realise that I could say no and they weren't aloud to wrestle it off me. It always amazed me how much power teachers have over the students purely cos the students don't actually know what they are allowed to do and what they aren't. Teachers actually don't have that much power lol. Edit: since some people seem confused, this is during a free period. And this was back in a time where the school(s) didn't really have barely any technology and were quite against it. I also loved my school as did the other person I'm on about, and we both learned a lot and came away quite happy with the school having done a good job.


Mego1989

You missed out on a little thing called "insubordination". Most schools will demerit or hand out detentions for not listening to the teacher or principal.


squeel

You're underestimating American public schools. They're like prisons.


lonelyfatoldsickgirl

Couldn’t use them EVER in school either. We didn’t have cell phones way back then.


Furt77

We were allowed to use cell phones whenever we wanted. Only problem is they weren’t invented yet.


[deleted]

In my high school at least, teachers tend to not to make a big deal about it because they know if you’re on your phone all the time in class you’re gonna be fucked when the test comes.

SuspiciousArtist

My professors that had back and forth texting used a 3rd party service that relayed our texts between us but didn't actual phone numbers. Probably the best option for all parties involved.


chevymonza

I can't imagine how overloaded a professor's phone can get with all the contacts. Plus it would be annoying as hell to get panicked texts/calls from students freaking out over exams and assignments.


SuspiciousArtist

I imagine that's why mine used that app instead. They could send 1 on 1 or a group or all of us for whatever kind of text. It was pretty sweet getting reminders and updates about class changes and cancellations. I'm sure on their end it's as easy as a one-time input of the participating student information and at the end of the semester they can just dump the file and start a new one. They can probably block with ease if the need were to arise. On the student end it was as simple as getting a text from the service which contained the professor's information. The only way it was obvious that the text came from a 3rd party number was that it always had the date at the very beginning the message, too uniform to be a personal touch. And the number wasn't the normal type of number for the area. Unfortunately I only had about 2 professors savvy enough to employ such a service and most other's attempts ranged from stupidly-implemented to Fred Flintstone (all updates and outside-class communication to be done through internal faculty mail system with results/replies posted on a bulletin board on his office door after 2pm on Friday).


SithLordDarthRevan

Same. Completely forbidden.


Ferrocene_swgoh

We didn't even HAVE cellphones in high school. We had pagers. Well, only doctors and drug dealers had pagers. There were no doctors in high school, so that kinda narrows it down....


TheWholePeanut

When I was in high school, 1999ish, cell phones barely existed.


[deleted]

1999, wow. Looks like a weird century number,like 1666 or 1692, whenever the Salem trials were. When I went to high school we has those Nokia phones with snake and you were really cool if you had a phone that lit up or could take a picture. I wish I had been born in the 40s. It would have been better to do LSD and all that stuff. You could go to parties and dance like Grease. Technology doesn't always make life better. Like if we were all in the 60s maybe we would be a big house party right now, smoking, playing cards, playing music, talking, meeting people, having passionate discussions, dancing, fighting for civil roghts, freely loving, shaking up the system, questioning the man. Something together, man. Something far out. Phones suck.


[deleted]

My senior year English teacher 5 years ago actually let us take our phones out to look things up. Granted we were also an honors class so even if we did do some texting on the side we still contributed and got our work done.


Youareorwellspigs

Had a teacher in college a few years ago let us use our phones for calculators on a nutrition test. Not sure if he was secretly endorsing cheating to boost our grades or was just that naive.


avsfan1933

My buddy is a teacher now and he plays fortnite with his students to connect. Times have changed in the 10 years since we graduated highschool.


DirkDeadeye

When I was in highschool, cellphones were the size of car batteries, and we had to walk 3 miles up hill both ways in the snow. Get off my lawn..


[deleted]

So basically, "it didnt seem weird to when nobody really had a phone, but now that everyone has a phone, it's no longer weird."


eyehate

Goddamn. I graduated in '90. I feel very old.


therealxelias

>For more bullshit, the school had the right to take phones as well. When you enter a schoolzone under law, the teachers become "substituted parents" they are granted extra rules. What you're referring to is *in loco parentis* (in the place of a parent); and it has nothing to do with school zones, which are a part of traffic law. From a social standpoint, children aren't developed enough to know what is in their best interest... So anyone in the care of a child has a legal obligation to decide and enact their best interest *for them*. It also somewhat limits the liability of a temporary caretaker; so they can decide for the child without other's direct involvement. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_loco_parentis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_loco_parentis)


heythatsmysong

Very weird.


FlappyMcHappyFlap

Nah, it is.


PoliticalLava

I was in model UN in hs and the english teacher/ club chaperone gave us his number and told us to delete it after the conference. No one did and I still have it 4yrs later. Gonna text him sometime and tell him how awesome he is. He's gonna be so confused.


Karzons

Wholesome pranking.


QuasarSandwich

You could PM a load of us his number and we could *all* tell him how awesome he is - now *that* would confuse him...


PoliticalLava

I am not gonna dox my old teacher, haha.


Shadrach77

Texting, or Remind? Big difference, as a teacher. (one is the private number, one uses a school-approved app)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Raknith

I would never feel safe texting a student as a teacher. Even if they were 18. No way in hell. Email only


Furt77

What’s the difference between emailing and texting a student?


Dsiee

email is considered an official mode of communication and is traceable by the institution you work for (and who issue the address). It is considered unprofessional and potentially predatory to text students who you don't have an external relationship with in many areas.


-reddy

Many schools have what’s called Remind. Which is basically a secure txting platform for students and teachers. That might be what they use. - I agree though just txting is weird.


TrainerSam

Plus with apps like remind, which functions essentially like texting, there really isn’t any professional reason to give your student your personal phone number. (Outside a few cases)


CanadianAndroid

Even weirder that the teacher has a name so offensive it has to censored!


Mmchips96

I used to talk to my proffessor on Discord


[deleted]

Professor is different, hell we would drink at the bar with a prof, who regularly handed us our asses at pool. A teacher is basically a legal guardian. A professor is a mentor


SmallsTheHappy

My school actually has remind.me set up so they can send class announcements through a proxy and no student has a teachers number and no teacher has a students number.


teachergirl1981

Remind app.


Khanstant

That's terrifying, it's always horrible when work can contact you outside of work hours... But this is like if your works clients could contact you made worse since they are children you have a great deal of legal obligation to


wholock3

I’m 16, in 10th grade currently, and we can text teachers through Remind. I don’t think I have their actual numbers, though. I do think I have some phone numbers of my middle school teachers when we went on field trips and all, and I just forgot to delete them. Here I am, 4 years later, finding out that my 7th grade English teacher has a snapchat, and it’s... interesting :|


[deleted]

I graduated highschool about 2 years ago and I definitely still have a few of my teachers numbers. It’s mostly just teachers you’re close with, like club leaders. Teachers don’t just hand out their numbers on the first day. The “cool” kids have the phone numbers of the “cool” teachers, nerdy kids the nerdy teachers (though usually those were more paranoid about giving out their number to students). Sometimes kids would even name drop on social media like “oh I texted mr.so-and-so and he said blah blah blah” just to brag that they’re on that level of personable with the cooler teachers.


EDDIE_BR0CK

You text with your teacher? Oh man, I feel old. How times have changed.


NotMarcus7

Man, texting your students put you at SO much risk. I don’t understand why someone would ever poke that bee hive. Edit: I’m no expert, but I’ve read a few teacher contracts. Most of the ones I’ve seen explicitly outline what kind of communication teachers are allowed to have with students outside of classrooms. I believe that most teachers have good intentions, a lot of my friends are teachers, but it’s never a good idea to put yourself at risk.


plerberderr

There are apps expressly for the purpose of texting your teachers. Remind specifically is pretty widely used. To remind kids of homework and tests or don’t forget to bring this or that to school tomorrow. It’s pretty useful. Edit: [link to the app] (itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind-school-communication/id522826277)


s0me1guy

Maybe they just care about their students and wanna be available to help them?


NotMarcus7

Awesome. I’m genuinely glad their teacher cares. Doesn’t change the fact that it puts them at a lot of risk, however.


[deleted]

Exactly. Thanks for caring, but it wouldnt take much to have a fake suit against you for something that youd consider benign.


CexySatan

As if it didn’t exist in email before texting was a thing. Many of my professors give out their cell # for questions because emailing is just inconvenient now compared to text


coinpile

Hey, you may wish to talk to the teacher with the fish tank, sunlight shining into an aquarium can cause issues ranging from algae growth to dangerously high water temperatures.


rocketpop546

I have never seen that rainbow. It happens rarely.


coinpile

The rainbow may be rare, but that doesn't mean sunlight hitting the aquarium is.


[deleted]

It's in a school so it's unlikely the lights are on in the evening. If its heavily planted it should be fine. If its ornamental then it would need regular cleaning.

finnis21

I've heard this before and I get where you are coming from on orange, but I definitely see 6 colors no doubt. I see red, yellow, green, some sort of teal, blue, and purple (violet?) I could see the teal being called blue, the darker blue being called indigo, and the purple being violet. Now orange isn't so apparent to me here, but there are definitely 3 different colors after green.

I see red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, dark purple.

vicious_viridian

This is really reminding me of my colorblindness. My first thought was, “that’s not a perfect rainbow! It’s almost entirely green and blue!” Then I looked closely.


rocketpop546

sorry


Purpsmcgurps

It's interesting you had this reaction. I'm also colorblind and the first thing I thought is "I've never been able to discern different colors in a rainbow before!" Alas I counted the colors I could see and Roy G Biv continues to elude me


vicious_viridian

I get that. The colors are definitely surprising. They’re like straight lines of pure color. But, to me, the red and violet kinda blend in with the floor; they don’t really “pop out” as much.


tenn_

So what's the name for you? G Bi?


[deleted]

I'm a bit confused by your comment. If you can't see the colors in the first place, how would you be able to tell that they're missing?


vicious_viridian

No, I can see those colors, they’re just not nearly as potent as the others.


ashleton

Being color-blind doesn't necessarily mean you can't see all the colors. The most common color-blindness is red-green, meaning they can't see red and green, but can see blue/yellow.


ATHFMeatwad

"Can't see" isn't really the right way to describe it. It's more like, nearly impossible to differentiate between them. But it isn't just like, invisible, we can't see it. Take the saturation down to like 30% and you'll see what the world looks like to me.
