Is there anything more satisfying than having a student two years in a row and seeing them actively improve a lot over the course of that time?

If I get all the way through Friday without a breakdown, I'll be surprised. End of semester work is the worst.

My students are nine which is 3 years older and a maturity jump more than I'm used to. Which means they were able to clock that I was Going Through It, but since they're the aforementioned nine, realized they could not do much except give Offerings of Paper.

Here they are

And I know this is the piss on the poor website so let me clarify; I was not being mean or distant to them, they had indoor recess/craft time and I was taking a little quiet time when I'm usually very loud and playing with them.

Anyways 💜

They're very sweet.

If you wanna know what teaching is like these days it goes a little something like this:

Student: *blurts out something totally unrelated to anything we are talking about*

Me: If you have a question, please raise your hand and wait for me to acknowledge you. There are 30 of you and only one of me.

Student: BRUH OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS YELLING AT ME MAN FUCK YOU I DONT EVEN LIKE THIS BITCHASS CLASS

Like. I wish i was kidding.

“AI makes art accessible for people who can’t afford expensive art programs!”

I have a 14 yo student who is making vector art in GOOGLE SLIDES

GOOGLE SLIDES

Dude, you simply aren’t creative enough to think of alternatives. And he’s doing it because the school computers don’t allow/support photoshop.

And his friend, the girl who sits behind him and is an ESL uses a Walmart sketchbook and the free pencils that teachers give out.

Sounds like a you problem really

French/English people communicate in each others languages through a series of slumdog millionaire-like flashbacks

French dude: how do you say 'quel autre' ?

Me: it's 'what else?'

Him: ah yes, George Clooney and his espresso.

Different french dude: what does 'instead' mean?

Me: "plutôt que"

Him: "ohh like Adele" *starts singing* "instead I'll fiiiiind someone like you" (I didn't have the heart to tell him it's actually 'nevermind')
