      OP, the correct gender neutral pronoun is “they”, even if we talk about one person.

      But generally a very solid meme!

        this is definitely not oc, dates back to at least aug 2020. this is also showcased by OP calling the teacher “she” while OOP hit em with the ol’ “it”

        Which is always fun to point out to the bigots who lose their shit about “they/them” pronoun stuff.

      its not as easy to get right as some commenters suggest. the authors of the constitution got it wrong too. the error has it’s own few decades of historical precedent. 🙃

      No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it’s inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

    I was in the later years of elementary school when the American school system really started to become grossly underfunded.

    I repeatedly heard my teacher grumbling about copy paper and lack of supplies. A coupe of times, my teacher complained to ME! Expressing how they were stressed out about not being able to get all the stuff they needed to teach and didn’t mean to snap at me like that. O_O

    I really felt bad for them, they couldn’t do anything to stop it.

    Been there. In my secondary school, every week a class was selected for performing well (so good feedback for behaviour and homework sort of stuff) so the class got a tenner I think. So at the end of the year when we won so many times we had about 100 quid so the teacher wanted to see what everybody wanted to do and of course the class said party. So the teacher had to plan out how to spread 100 pound on food for a class of 30 and she used her own money too. My form teacher was a legend.

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      In my primary school they did it based on the cleanest classroom. Except all we won was a $2 Freddo frog. The teachers wouldn’t let us vacuum though, and rather than just not eat inside and not make a mess, we went around with tape to pick up all the carpet crumbs

    “it’s” - nice touch to hint at the underfunded school system

    • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No capital to start the sentence, no period, “bough” instead of bought. Yep.

      TBF there’s a whole separate mindset of online communication that seems to demand shitty writing and spelling, like there’s peer pressure to not do it right. One would hope in a more formal setting the writer would do better. Maybe.

    I never appreciated this as a kid even though there was plenty of pizza to go around for everyone back then. If any teachers are in this thread reading this comment, thank you. Thank you. It does make a difference, even if it’s a small gesture.

    source
    • Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      My wife and I go out of our way to try to reinforce the fact that we, as parents, very very very much appreciate their teachers. We give them Christmas cards, end of year cards, we donate gifts to them, and any time they send home a letter saying they are running low on supplies we donate something with a thank you card. Hopefully this eventually becomes apparent to the kids that they should appreciate the teachers just as much.

  • andros_rex@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I did a pizza party for the class that made the most improvement on a benchmark test. Paid ~$100 in my own money, tried to get everyone enough for two slices. It wasn’t the right kind of pizza, they were still hungry, I didn’t get the right soda… fuck me for not dropping that cash on a fat j instead.

    source
    • spikespaz@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Unfortunately, $100 isn’t enough to satisfy varying tastes, while also leaving out no one. Aside from that, kids didn’t recognize sacrifice, nor were most of them taught the manners to say “No, but thank you.”

      Honestly, I think you probably should have known.

        i think u did great with ur guess of nonbinary :3

        one cant really infer gender from pronouns but i think for it/its pronouns, general nonbinary is as fair a guess as agender.

        just because they/them is a more commonly used pronoun for nonbinary ppl, that doesnt mean they wont use whatever other pronouns they vibe with.

        (source: i use it/its and they/them)

    This is one of those memes like Tom and Jerry. The whole “I sided with Jerry as a kid but now that I’m an adult, he’s kind of a piece of shit to Tom.” Wisdom isn’t inherent of age but man, to those who pay attention it can hit hard.

    During grades 0-4, i had a special program where i would stay at school for 8 hours, but get no homework and had a 1 hour recreation break and big eating break(not to be confused with the shorter one), where we(my class) got served food(once we received moldy bread i think). Each friday we each got a pizza.
