        The apostrophe-s construction “it’s” suffices for both the contractive form “it is” as well as the possessive form of “it”. “Its” exists solely to satisfy the craven pedantry of elementary school English teachers. Nothing of value is lost by abandoning this archaic construction.

        “Its” is deprecated.

        Downvote all you like; pedant tears are full of electrolytes.

        Wut? He’s pointing out that teachers dipped into their own money to give kids things like this. America’s education system is absolute dog shit, and it’s intentional. Look who the dumbasses voted for cause “'bortions and mah guns” and no more black presidents, especially a woman. Fuck all of them pdeophiles.

    Can’t expect kids to understand something like. Also I doubt those teachers expect that kind of empathy and compassion from people with incomplete brains.

      So, you do expect it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like shit. My high schoolers said all kinds of horrific nasty shit about me because I was clearly gay, including graphic and specific discussions about my supposed inability to pleasure a woman, which was stupid - but in any other context that would be considered a hostile workplace environment and wouldn’t be tolerated.

      Now I mostly work with younger kids, and they do not have a filter. They say things that hurt. When they say those things, I can certainly acknowledge that they don’t have the level of empathy and compassion that an adult has, but that doesn’t mean it feels good.

      Teaching and working with kids leads to emotional burnout. You can only handle those sorts of comments so much before it starts to fuck with you, especially if you lack a support system elsewhere.

      We shouldn’t expect teachers to be Jesus. At least not when the pay is so shit that most have to have a second job (which also does not help on the burnout end).

    This meme is soooooooooo old. I remember commenting about how “it’s” is really stupid and should be “their” instead. Maybe it was even back on reddit, which would mean this is a repost of a 3+ yo meme. I know this is true for a lot of memes but its insane that i remember this specific one.

        There’s only so many space the “names of all steam engine trains in Britain in the 19th century” can occupy in one’s brain, so there’s plenty of room for old memes.

        I never thanked them because of the gaslighting and unfair criticism directly from them, and the blind eye they turned to the bullying, harassment and sexual assaults from other students. Yes, plural assaults.

      Bro, the parents at the school I taught at had the schools number blocked (if they had cell service at all) because they didn’t want to hear about their children beating the shit out of other children, or destroying school property, or smoking pot….

      I had a pizza party once. I got paid $2200 a month and already spent at least $50 a month on supplies (kinda hard to teach chemistry if you don’t have chemicals…) I gave one of my class a pizza party, spent more than a hundred dollars.

      Did any of them thank me? LOL. No, they complained because they could only have one slice.
