Controlled bathroom breaks are dumb, if I gotta go I gotta go! (x)
This is the thread I got mad in!
ā¦Iām still mad!
I see people use the excuse ābut what if theyāre just going so they donāt have to pay attention!ā a lot, and itās a really poor excuse.
Aside from the fact that kids (and adults!) need and are entitled to regular mental breaks, keeping a bored kid in the classroom isnāt going to magically make them pay attention. What it IS going to do is create an environment of distraction for the people around them. You wanna know how I know? I was that kid. I have adhd, and when I wasnāt able to get up and walk around, I talked to everyone. Constantly. When allowed to go outside and refresh my brain when needed, I became a lot less disruptive.
And when itās older kids? If a high schooler doesnāt want to learn something, theyāre not going to, and you canāt make them. Thatās their mistake to make. As a teacher, try making the material more accessible and engaging. Thatās your job. Whether the student does their job is on them.
āKids have died in bathroom fightsā is definitely an argument I havenāt seen before, but itās so patently ridiculous that I donāt think it needs to actually be addressed.
THIS SHIT MAKES ME SO ANGRY. When I was a teacher, I taught in a high school that had a lot of kids that came from poorer families. You know what I did? I always had a drawer FULL of snacks. Some sugary treats, but a lot of stuff that one might considerĀ āfood food,ā not just a treat. You know what I found out? Kids would ask for a snack at the beginning of class if they wanted one, and it affected my class POSITIVELY. Kids that I knew NEEDED something to eat would be able to grab crackers and tuna or something, and other kids would just be happy to come into my class to see what I had stocked in the drawer.Ā
The kids learned to be respectful of the food BY THEMSELVES. Yāall should have seen it. Kids were policing each other in how much food they took, so that one student wouldnāt take all the zebra cakes or whatever, but not a single time was a kid scolded for taking a couple packs of crackers or whatever. And they all made sure that no one left trash around.Ā
Feeding kids is important, and if you canāt teach kids while they eat a snack, you just canāt teach.
I have a fucking teaching credential. They literally taught us about Maslowās hierarchy of needs and how kids canāt fucking learn if theyāre hungry or stressed or scared. Itās in the fucking credential program. They talk about why snacks and free lunch programs are so important for low income kids. For some kids school is the only place they can get a decent meal.
Fuck these teachers pretending like obedience matters more than learning.
Literally the number one thing I buy for my classroom during a regular is snacks. If Iāmma do anything, Iāmma make sure those kids eat.
I canāt expect them to learn and be functional if theyāre having hunger pains, wtf
My all time favorite teacher (chemistry) started every class with a ācandy quizā where she would ask questions about what weād gone over last time & then toss candy at you if you answered a question. Even if you got it wrong. āHershey kiss for effort!ā āMaybe some sugar will help you remember.ā āOof, not firing on all cylinders today, huh? Have a Gobstopper.ā
I always thought she did it because our class was just before lunch so we were all starving, but nope. It was every class.
My AP English teacher had a bowl of granola bars & two coffee pots set up in the back. One with coffee & one with plain hot water (she provided Lipton tea but you could bring in whatever you wanted).
If you brought in fancy coffee, you got to be her favorite for the day. It only meant you got a star sticker slapped on your forehead, which you wouldnāt think high schoolers would care about, but we did. š¤£
She also had a pizza fund for each class. Mason jars with tape identifying which class it was. Weād toss in our change & whatever & once we hit $20, sheād order us all pizza.
It wasnāt until I was an adult that I realized ordering five pizzas was a bit more than $20. She just wanted us to feel a sense of accomplishment. ā¤ļø
One of my history teachers liked to bake & heād take votes on what cookies to bring in. His snicker doodles were out of this world delicious & I tried for four years to get the recipe out of him. LOL
The best teachers acknowledge that their students are people with basic needs/wants & not just cogs in a machine. š
A kid peeing or pooping their pants due to an abusive power tripping teacher will do more to harm and traumatize the child for life than missing a short school lesson.
I realize itās not really the same thing because Iām a corporate trainer and therefore myĀ āstudentsā are adults, but back when we had in-person (non-virtual) training at my company, I ALWAYS had snacks. Things like granola bars, cliff bars, luna bars, peanut butter crackersāstuff that had some sugar and protein in it, just to hold people over. I always made a big thing ofĀ āif you are hungry, please feel free to grab something, no questions asked!ā because kid or adult you cannot learn if youāre hungry. Your brain doesnāt give a shit about corporate guidelines if it needs food. And a lot of times the people in my classes had been coming off long stints of being unemployed, so that stretch ofĀ āwaiting for the first paycheckā was often pretty painful for them. Plenty of them would stay at their desks during lunch because they couldnāt afford to go get anything to eat (and I know a lot of them were parents who were 100% sacrificing their own lunch so their kids wouldnāt go hungry).Ā
I donāt know if I have a point here other than not being distracted by hunger is really critically important to the learning process at any age and the idea ofĀ ādonāt eat or youāre disrespecting meā as a teacher of ANY kind is just patently absurd.Ā

I donāt really get it. can somebody please explain it to me in simpler terms? Sorry Iām dumb.
@doom-and-gloom-in-my-room The young fish was looking for this big glamorous thing, but it turns out he was already in it, not appreciating it for what it was.
Humans do the same thing, thinking āonce in done with this I can start enjoying my lifeā āonce Iām out of collage I can enjoy my lifeā āonce Iāve lost weight I can enjoy my lifeā. But weāre already living, and if we donāt appreciate it while weāre here and alive we will miss it.
Hope that helped:)
If you havenāt seen the movie, the context is (spoilers upcoming): the protagonist (the man sheās speaking to) has wanted his whole life to get his break playing jazz. He gets a spot with this famous quartet (the headliner is the woman speaking to him; she plays the saxophone) and they have a fantastic show, but after the show heās confused that getting hisĀ ādreamā didnāt automatically fulfill him. He expected something to change. When he admits that to her, she tells him this story. Basically, he was living his life as one long sprint to one specific goal on the horizon, but in doing so, he was neglecting to appreciate the actual process of living. Once he achieved his goal, he realized he felt empty because he didnāt know what he was living for anymore. Part of the point of the movie is to learn that life itself is the point of living, and you donāt need one specific purpose--you just need to enjoy the process.Ā
