I'm bored right now. Any teachers here? Tell us some stories about your experience teaching brats.
>>27661911
>taking ap bio
>teacher is like 45 and has no family. really likes charlie sheen and two and a half men
>always joking with the girls in class and shit
>Is shit teacher and dont learn anything from him
>fail like half his assignments and get a "c" and "d" in the class.
>he didnt give you a "B" or better if you pass edthe AP exam like most teachers did at my high school
>got a pass/3 on the AP exam and all I did was read a test prep book a week before the exam.
>I lucked out, because there was a more ecology questions than usual and the test prep book covered a shit load of ecology stuff even though my teacher hardly discussed the topic at all.
>there were probably a bunch of kids in my class that didnt pass the exam because there was so many ecology questions on that specific exam.
>called a girl a bitch in class and my only "punishment" was sitting outside the rest of the class.
>think he told me to go see a psychologist or a counselor or something. He knew the girl was a bitch, but he said something like my response to her acting out was inappropriate. "YOu should know by now we just ignore Amanda"
Pretty decent guy desu
>>27661911
>substitute so not a real teacher
>kids don't respect you
>actual teachers don't respect you
>you don't even respect yourself
>don't even try to teach class or tell kids what to do anymore, just pass out papers and sit at my the desk trying not to cry
I miss retail
>>27662223
>>teacher is like 45 and has no family. really likes charlie sheen and two and a half men
>tfw you're the only on /r9k/ that genuinely enjoyed Two and a Half Men (at least the first few seasons)
I loved that show in high school. If only I knew I'd end up a 26-year-old virgin that'd never even get to smell a fucking pussy in his entire life.
>>27662725
Better that than that asshole substitute teacher that becomes power hungry at the slightest gift of authority and sends you out in the hall for asking for a pencil politely because "No talking"that happened to me. That sub was an ass. That entire school had the worst subs I have ever seen
>be me
>7th grade science class with Mr. F
>mr F was a complete pedo/perv
>would constantly drop pencils near girls wearing skirts
> would look down the shirts of girls who hadn't learned how to dress properly yet
>pretty sure he got a bj from a girl failing the class
>half the time his room smelled like boiled cabbage
>graduate 7th grade
>six years later I find out that someone planted a camera in his room and caught him sexually abusing a girl
>mfw
somehow he got to keep his job
>>27663429
Fuck I forgot to mention that one day he was showing us a jewtube video and in the space where it gives you recommended videos there was one for a vibrator
oh mr f
>>27661911
Our AP Bio teacher wrote a song about us, we all pretty much loved him. One day, he accidentally wrote "orgasm" on the board instead of "organism".
Ended up getting fired for publicly criticizing school-board policy, which was a great shame.
>>27663120
Man I fucking hate telling other people what to do and then arguing with them or fighting with them. I'm a huge coward and hate confrontation, even with kids. I don't want to look like some weak pussy, but it just doesn't seem worth sending some kid to the office or making a scene to humiliate them for misbehaving or whatever every time they're rude or defiant; I'm not teaching them shit in the first place, and kids who want to learn are going to learn anyway.
But sometimes, their defiance and rambunctiousness fucking hurts my feelings a bit and all I do is laugh it off or ignore it instead of actually punishing them or establishing order and authority, and I know it's just because I'm a pathetic beta. At least the kids don't seem to hate me, but they don't think of me as an authority figure. I feel like the most inept warden at a mini prison whenever I work.
This is such a horrible fucking job for me. Every job is such a horrible job for me. I think the NEET life is choosing me again.
>>27661911
I used to be a paraprofessional at a school for behavioral problems. I worked in the non-verbal autism program with high-school age students.
I've got some war stories.
>>27663542
My mom is an ed tech.
I'd rather be a homeless piece of shit than deal with some of the kids she's dealt with. Like, what the fuck?
Children like that just clog up schools, waste resources, and fuck everything up.
>>27663650
I loved my job. I only quit because of my divorce and moving to a different state.
Now I climb poles for a living.
I'm going back to SPED, just finishing up my degree.
I had an awsome English teacher who later turned out to be a robot/functional robot and a dick.
He was really good, took us out on trips to civil war battlefields, did Shakespeare and was for the most part chill to talk with about nearly everything related to history and classical litature also ran Warhammer 40k and DnD games on Sunday. Had every army in the game 5000pts every day.
Except he took his retarded rightwing poltical opinions to classroom and worse bitched about how he couldnt find/keep a woman (despite the fact this guy was a 8/10 look wise his personality was shitty).
Politics aside I wouldn't have given a shit but he took personal offense with me when I didnt agree with him and even went so far as to not give me recomendation letters when I asked for them like three years after I graduated HS and havin As in his class.
>>27663120
Had a black sub in 5th grade. He was super religious and carried around this laminated sheet with a list of "virtues." He subbed quite often so everyone asked him almost every class about it and he'd spend like 25 minutes in autismal state preaching about how you should do good. It was great.
>>27663542
Tell us one of them please
>>27663872
One time I took a kid to the bathroom in the elementary program. He was being particularly difficult.
Anyway, he reaches into his diaper, gets a handful of shit.
Then he licks it.
Then spits it right into my face.
I proceed to dry-heave, tears streaming down my face as I gag uncontrollably.
>>27663791
I had a teacher in fourth grade who was the biggest most authoritarian asshole in the world.
First day of class he said "This class has no 'classroom rules' we have 'The life skills' (patience, perseverance, etc) and anytime he caught you looking around the room he'd stop the entire class to chew you out. He had the shortest temper in the world and got pissed off over the most minor things. One time I lied about not writing in my agenda book and he took away recess from me for like an entire week.
>>27663538
You don't have very good behaviour management skills famalam. You gotta step up your game. What grades do you teach?
>>27661911
>be me
>be subbing at a welfare neighbourhood
>little Muslim girl won't go get her head checked for live because her mom said a Christian can't touch her, and if she needs to be checked her mother would do it
>mfw
Sometimes I wonder about the immigrants they're bringing in here.
>>27663990
Muslims are literally nazis
>>27661911
>I am a substitute teacher.
>I was sitting at my desk as per usual
>Fourth period
>I saw a fat bitch have what I though was another bitch fit
BTW, have you ever noticed that fat high school girls are the biggest bitches alive? If you haven't they are.
>She walks to my desk
>"Anon! That kid is masturbating in class."
>Points to this one literal high-functioning autistic kid
>He always wears basketball shirts and hip-hop clothes every day
>I walk to him
>Never thought I'd actually have to do this
>I see the head of his dick and a bit of testicle
>I know I couldn' turn back
>"[kid's name], what are you doing!?"
>He says "[Fat bitch]'s ass is too fine!"
>"Go to the principle now!"
>He walks out angrily, as if he didn't deserve it
>I had o fill out a report saying that he sexually harassed a student and exposed his genitals in public
That's the time I saw a student masturbate, and the day I started planning my suicide.
>>27663538
>Man I fucking hate telling other people what to do and then arguing with them or fighting with them.
You don't argue/ fight with kids. You tell them what to do and they do it end of story. Any lip and you put punishments in place that they already know about.
>Teaching AP US History for the second year
>A few months into the curriculum, getting lazy
>Haven't changed any of the assignments or lectures I made last year
>Decide to shake myself out of complacency
>Announce to the class that instead of a paper I had intended to assign, they would have to get into groups and make a music video about the Spanish-American war.
>Most of them ended up being top 40 rap videos in shitty costumes with a few words changed to mention Teddy Roosevelt or Cuba.
>A few kids do it by themselves and their video is just them staring into the camera monotone singing.
>>27664142
That must've been some great, relaxing days when they were presenting those music videos.
>>27664142
I honestly can't understand why you would do that to yourself.
>>27664142
You should have given an option between either.
Also you probably have should have set some guidelines to the music video and maybe assign music genres to each group
>>27664052
>That's the time I saw a student masturbate, and the day I started planning my suicide.
fucking kek
>>27664201
Not him, but I do teach. He does it because it's easy, and everyone that completes it automatically gets a pass.
>>27664201
I thought the kids would have more fun with it and show some creativity.
>>27664174
Also this
>>27664216
There were guidelines, but I sorta half-assed it. Just a time limit, including all members, each member had to write a few lines, etc.
>>27664245
Just saying, every time I see that kid he triggers my PTSD.
>>27664052
>high-functioning
>autistic kid
Even the normie appearing ones are heavily autistic, there's no mild form m8.
Some autists just spread their autism out, sprinkling little bits here and there...whilst others don't sprinkle anything and just have super autistic bursts when you least expect it.
>>27663958
>You don't have very good behaviour management skills famalam
Seriously mang, I don't have any.
>You gotta step up your game.
Nah, I'm done with this shit. I hate children so much, doing this was a mistake. If I don't get another job soon I'm just going to be a NEET again for a few months. The only reason I did this shit in the first place was because I thought it might look better on my resume than just retail and a restaurant job.
>>27664281
You should have made a black people group do country
Would have been hilarious
>be kindergarten teacher in China
>mostly fun and rewarding job but some children are spoiled little shits.
>one in particular has little emperor syndrome. Bites other teachers, throws tantrums, destroys teaching materials etc.
>talk to his mother. She says he can do as he likes as long as he comes home happy each day. If teachers don't like being bitten then they should quit.
>evil plan.rmb
>come to work one day with the worst stomach ever. Can't stop farting. Decide to walk past kid and see how many silent but violents I can do near him.
>every time I do one I sniff loudly and ask if it was him. Other kids can hear me ask him and start pointing and laughing.
>every day for a week I do this countless times. He starts to get a reputation as the stinky kid.
>other staff members hear about it. One of the nannys makes him drop his kegs to see if he's shit himself.
>other kids can't stop laughing. As soon as pants come up I drop a stealth gas attack near him again.
>he tries to blame me but no wont believes the little stinker.
>he's not naughty any more, just always quiet and on edge. Principal calls his mum into school to talk to her about his farting problem. They conclude its because he has no boundaries.
>he gets sent to a special kindergarten for children that lack discipline.
>on his last day he says to me that he knows it's me and no one believes him.
>I walk past and fart again.
>he starts screaming that it was me.
>I say that surely if I farted my ass would smell like it.
>he leaves his chair and runs to front of class and smells my ass in the most angry little emperor way.
>I let out the biggest, loudest fart in the history of Asia.
>he just sits on the floor crying as other students and teachers laugh.
>get offered another year on my contract.
>>27664326
Why teach if you hate kids?
My suggestion is channel that hatred into having a firm grip on it and you could be the hardass teacher. It's pretty important to say what you expect of the kids when you first walk in too.
>>27663429
>would constantly drop penciils near girls wearing skirts
What this fuck is up with this fucking meme?
I've heard this complaint about like 5 teachers since I was a little kid. Everytime girls don't like a teacher it's "I heard he drops pencils so he can look up girls' skirts."
This is getting old. I can't imagine a teacher just walking into class every day and dropping pencils all around and shit. This has to be a fucking meme.
>>27664382
>Why teach if you hate kids?
Because I don't want to suck dick for a living.
>>27664351
10/10 story
you got that kid bad
>>27664433
I dunno what country you're in but in mine teaching is a tough profession to get into and is well respected and highly paid.
>>27663538
Man..talk softly and carry a big stick.
If some kid messes with you, start filing through the school's disciplinary policies one by one, but seem calm about it.
>tfw I imagine myself calmly telling a kid he is expelled, so brutally calmly that he doesn't believe me at first, even though I know this isn't how it works
I would love it.
>>27664351
Your a shit teacher but that kids mom is probably a spoiled cunt herself. She just doesn't want to parent and expects the teachers to do it for her.
>>27664351
Doing the Lord's work, one fart at a time.
>>27664351
Well done, scholar-bureaucrat!
>>27664382
Substitute teaching is a far cry from real teaching. I did it because a nearby district was desperate for subs, and as I mentioned, because I thought it'd look more professional than "I did retail for a billion years and before that I made french fries and hotdogs".
Your suggestion isn't terrible, though, in that it could be useful in developing some assertiveness for later, but fuck kids, this is not something I'm going to do for any serious length of time.
I had a substitute teacher teach us Spanish for some class fun thing like once a week in 1rst grade and barely, barely remembered the experience.
11th grade the same teacher subs my English class by coincidence. She remembered my first AND last name without looking, exactly where and how she had taught me Spanish 10 years before. I was amazed. Apparently she has incredible memory and basically never forgets anyone she's ever worked with.
>>27663929
What a fearless fucking kid.
These are the men and women I want fighting for my country, with Clockwork-Orange type brainwashing of course.

>>27664547
Probably wanted you to bang her.
It was your one chance to bang your sexy savant spanish substitute and you blew it.
>>27664510
Do you live in the UK by any chance? I knew a guy from there in teacher's college that subbed under the table because they're dying for teachers over there.
>>27664466
The US, in which teachers are seen as bad guys and get severely underpaid. Basically any college-student can substitute if not complete shit but you do need some degree for full-time. What socialist shit-hive are you from?
>>27664466
Yeah well in America anything beneath the level of a professor is regarded as a failure and is paid relatively poorly compared to other professional jobs.
Teachers are basically just considered those that cannot and ridiculed by Americans. It doesn't help that our public education is fucking trash and just fuels the problem cyclically.
>>27664590
Holy fuck, this reminds me (not that anon, though). One year, our regular Spanish teacher was on maternity leave, so there was a long-term substitute.
After about a week of working, she showed up drunk at one of the football games and tried to seduce this 16 year old.
>she gets immediately fired
>mfw another roasty gets toasty
She was actually really hot desu; kinda surprised he didn't go for it, though he had been through a lot lately, so that might have influenced his decision.
>>27664597
I'm from Canada actually, and always had pretty great teachers growing up. I think the money attracts the smart ones to the job instead of the ones that just take the job unqualified.
>>27664616
That really sucks Ameribro. Education won't get better until you up the pay-grade, revamp commie core and get people into the teaching profession that are over-achievers and are passionate about the job.
>>27664595
Nah, I'm in the US. I have a bachelor's degree so they hired me within a few hours. I bet I'm the worst substitute in the district. Even the children verbally note how much I seem to hate being there.
>>27664616
Poor teachers.
Not even grade school children respect them.
>be me in 10th grade in California
>my World History class was acting out the French Revolution as a class
>It's my job, for whatever reason, to propose a 'solution' to the wealth inequality, debt, etc.
>I proposed, to my class, that we take all the black people, tax them to an extreme, like basically all their money, then use them as slaves and then kill them to use and SELL the resources from their body raw as a means of solving all our wealth-related problems
>Nobody likes my idea
>Fucking Reign of Terror instead
>>27664582
Conservafag please kill yourself, reality has a liberal bias
>>27664424
It's not a meme...
How would that be a meme?
Obviously old perverts are using the oldest trick in the book.
>>27664674
That would never fly up here, it takes a lot to get on the supply list, and then to get a full-time gig after that.
If you have any questions about how to get control of the kids so you can enjoy it go ahead.
>>27664351
>silent but violent
>>27664713
Because I heard at least 5 teachers accused of it. No way my school was that fucking weird. But it was pretty weird.
>>27664052
This kid in my jr high math class would sit in front of the class with a huge jacket, and wack the jbird all class, and then after he was finished he would lick his hand
>>27664680
Surprised you didn't get fired
You're lucky that no kids reported you
>>27664673
America is dead senpai, no use applying shock to an old carcass. The entire culture here related to schooling and learning is infected with the notions of anti-intellectualism and rigid, flawed industrial utilitarianism. It's the core problem of American culture generally, as far as I see it.
Kids that make it through the wasteland of compulsory public education eventually find refuge in college. What a fucking breath of fresh air college was; I didn't feel like I was in a gulag anymore.
Listen everyone in this thread
I need your help
I want to be a teacher. I know that might sound silly to some of you, but know I am a very passionless and talentless and unmotivated person and this is the one thing that I can think of that actually sounds like something I want to do.
Ideally, I'd like to teach History, because I like history. But the way my school works (currently at a community college but will transfer to another in a few years) I take courses dependent on what I want to teach and then take education courses at the 4-year school.
So its like dual majoring in one subject AND education.
But like I said, Im a passion-less loser. I don't know what I want to do.
I know I said I want to teach history but I also would like to major in something that has good job prospects OUTSIDE of teaching. And my advisor said that as a male, I'd be a shoe in for a teaching position in math or science. Is this true?
Anyway, I don't know what to do. Please help me. I need to make a decision SOON. I can't stand telling people that I am an undeclared major. My parents are starting to crack down hard, too. Please help.

Appreciate it, but American children are savages, and I won't be devoting much more energy to this bullshit.
>>27664679
Bruh, seriously, I received far more respect stocking shelves and folding clothes than I do presumably teaching children.
>>27664655
At my high school there was this hot young gym teacher who would add kids on facebook and would tell all the chad students about her problems and cry to them.
They said she could work the rest of that year but they didn't renew her.
She cried.
When I was in 10th grade, my old 8th grade math teacher killed himself after it was discovered he had an affair with a classmate of mine.
He was like 27 too, and was a solid 7/10.
The girl he had the affair with was a quiet asian 6/10.
>doing internship in primary school

Yeah, until you get fucked with massive student loan debt and find yourself jobless living with your parents, or flipping burgers despite your degree.
College is a scam.
Is it hard to get a job in teaching?
What subject is the easiest?
The hardest?

The fuck kind of genius primary school kids were you teaching? Primary school is 5th grade and below...right?
Are these cs savants or somethhing?
>>27664924
True.
America is a fucking evil, conniving place that stomps on poor people every chance it gets, not out of necessity even, but spite.

He made the right choice. Everyone would've worked hard to get him into a terrible prison so he could be raped and tortured until he died, because muh chillens.
>>27664948
>What subject is the easiest?
Just teach elementary school, it's glorified babysitting with hooked on phonics and times tables interspersed with dumb bullshit like music class.
>>27664801
How unfortunate I'm really sorry to hear that. Education is the key to a better life after all.
America makes for a pretty great neighbour so I want to see you guys do your best and achieve good things.
Nice picture btw and nice having a chat with you
>>27664808
Ideally, if you want to get hired quickly you'd major in something like physics and get into an upperclass school. There you'll have kids that want to learn but you'll be watched all the fucking time.
If you really want to do history, you might have to deal with working in inner city schools for a while since they aren't at such high demand.
It really comes down to if you want suffer for a while and do something you enjoy or do something you hate and always have jobs(assuming you don't molest kids)
>>27665006
some programs wave your debt in situations. but you either need to work for the government after or be a nigger.
>>27664949
same fag
I had all of my debt waved for working a year as a teacher in the state i took my classes in.
>>27665039
2nd grade is the best imo the kids want to help out as much as possible and you can end anything with "do you want me to call your mom?" and you win.
>>27664948
I'm only a college student. But let me put it this way from what I remember of high school.
I had a teacher who was 23, fresh out of college, studied some math and education, fairly straight forward. She looked out age. That's probably not so bad. Math is fairly easy to teach really.
Then I had teachers who had earned multiple masters degrees in their subjects, written his own math textbooks and sold them to universities, became a multi-millionaire who drove jaguars, lambos, a mansion, and had a yacht by suing people for illegally using his textbooks, and donated 100% of his salary to charity and literally to pay for some of his poorest students' lunches. Just a public high school. He basically reformed the entire math department telling all the other teachers to step it up and be tough and writing all their tests. And his class was hard as fuck. He taught everything from Pre-calc to calc to multi-variable calc for those who wanted it.
The teachers who were friends with him were excellent as well and cared so goddamn much about teaching it was inspiring. One of them also had a PhD in biology too but quit his research job to teach us.
Better than any professors I've ever had.
So that's the difference I think.
>>27664808
It all depends on what country that your in but I would say that you should go for it if you like kids and think you could bring some meaning into their life. I didn't know I would be a teacher but I spent a year teaching in China and it was the most rewarding experience of my life I went into the educational field.
Male teachers are needed in the teaching profession because it's a predominantly female field. My only warning is to be careful around the kids and never to be alone with one in a room.
>>27664351
My sides can't handle this kind of Justice.
>>27665115
Dude should have dedicated his energies to college math majors instead of 10th graders needing to pass Algebra II.
>>27665115
You obviously went to be a pretty fucking excellent district.
I grew up in some redneck shithole.
>>27665039
>it's glorified babysitting

>>27665062
Thats really cool and all. I mean I like kids and I feel like they'd like me, too, but my only issue is getting to that point.
Im really bad at math and honestly it scares me. Right now I was thinking of doing bio (like for what my advisor said about math and science) but I have to take calc and organic chem and man, I just don't think I can do it.
Maybe I'm just being a pussy? I don't know.
>>27665193
You're better off than 99% of teachers out there right now that are shit at math and are just one lesson ahead of the kids that they're teaching because they're so bad at it. Trust me, you'd be fine.
>>27665117
I was told this by a male teacher i work with when i first started. "always have 3 or more kids with you or another adult" he said he has seen his fair share fired for from taking a kid to the bathroom and using it as well to helping kids clean them selfs after they had an accident.
>>27664912
Working with kids can be very rewarding because they do things like this. Even if you ream them out when they're misbehaving they forget about it and can act very sweet afterwards, because you're an authority figure to them.
>>27665222
I'm sure I could teach it fine if I had too but its about me taking the courses that Im actually worried about. Maybe it would be worth it? I don't know.
>>27664351
hahahaha wow
>>27665234
Exactly. People are very suspicious of male teachers being pedos so you have to be very, very careful about it all. I would recommend never following a kid into the bathroom, and never being alone with one ever. If they make up a story you're screwed.

I went back during college since I majored in math to talk to him. He looked at my college work and said I was going too fast and he was right. The reason he didn't teach college anymore (he used to) was because he said he didn't want to do research, just wanted to teach.
But his class was proof-based and HARD, but everyone loved it.
Anyway the students he taught always reported that because of him, the first 2 years of college were really easy. He did a lot more good teaching high schoolers than he would have as a college professor.
>>27665275
It's your call and your life man. Live it.
>>27665280
>>27665234
Seriously, I have no idea why anyone would WANT to be a teacher. Why do you want to interact with goddamned children? Why do you want to retread the same fucking material year after year to a new group of shitmonkeys?
>>27665311
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO MAN FOR THE ENTIRE 19 YEARS OF MY LIFE I'VE JUST SAT AROUND DOING NOTHING, EXPERIENCING NOTHING AND LEARNING NOTHING AND JUST GENERALLY BEING SHIT AT EVERYTHING I DO AND NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO DECIDE WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I JUST DON'T KNOW MAN I CAN'T DO THIS MAN I JUST CANT

Primary school in my country are grades 1-6 which is 6/7 - 12-13 yo. Also I've been doing simple excercises with them, like drawing flower or car using layers, transparency and coloring old pictures using layers, layer modes/transparency, and selection tools. You know, stuff you can do in 1-5 minutes, which takes them 30-60 minutes.
6 grades actually aren't doing that bad, but 5 graders need lot of help. 4 graders barely can do anything, even with help, so we're doing other stuff with them like e-mails, power point presentations, word, or discussions/lectures about how is PC built.
They aren't geniuses. Only like few are actually really good because their parents either encourage them or pressure them and thay already worked with some of the software, or they're actually talented. For example one 6-grader already knows basics of programming in Python and one girl worked in Sai or however this graphics software was called.
Also maybe they sound like geniuses to you because there're no nigs in my country to drag down the whole class and our schools aren't completely fucked yet and actually teach something. I heard they want to fuck it up though by, for example, spending one lesson for each digit insetad of learning how to count to 10 with fingers on one lesson, like we're doing now.
Anyway, gotta get at least 2 hours of sleep before uni and then school.
>rightwingfags want classes where kids are taped to their desks and beaten and ridiculed whenever they get an answer wrong or say anything out of line.
>>27665193
elementary addition, multiplication, and division in 4th and up. its not as the meme says "glorified babysitting" it can be hard but most kids want to help untill you get to third graders and second grade to kindergarten have a helper to help with all the craziness.
>>27665342
I love working with kids, it was the most rewarding experience I ever had in my life. You have the chance to really help kids out and make an impact for their whole lives and stop bullying before it becomes a huuuuuge problem and could potentially save a life.
Teaching the same stuff in the same way after you're in the same grade for X amount of years means it's less difficult than when you're starting out and you can change things up depending on the class.
It's pretty awesome.
>>27665342
At my school you move up with your group. i have a 2nd grade group only because the teacher before me retired
>>27665349
Welcome to the real world. If you don't make a decision now you'll have to make one once you're older and have no financial dependence on your parents making it 100 times harder to do.
>>27665364
No, we want classes where the smart kids get challenged and challenge problems instead of listening to Tyrone count multiplication tables for the upteenth time
>>27665356
My high school did not teach programming. So yeah, they sound like fucking geniuses.
I am a senior in college just starting to program now and I'm loving it.
>>27665419
That's divisive and part of the reason bullying is a problem in schools today.
Also "smart" is subjective.
>>27665418
What do you think I should I do wise anon? What did you do?
>>27665459
No it's helpful. It's how I learned and it helps.
>>27665443
Well, then I was a kid I also didn't have programming until HS. The closest was fucking writing simple webpages in html in gymnasium. But now, after almost 20 years, I see gov is trying to introduce programming as early as possible. In primary school it's mainly LOGO, Baltie and Scratch. Scratch looks easier and kinda more intuitive, but Baltie seems to give pretty high possibilities. You can look it up.
I was starting programming in Pascal, then moved to C++, C and played a bit with adobe flash on computer animation/games classes so the difference is quite big.
Now I'm really fucking off to bed.
>>27665459
>bullying is a problem in schools today
I feel like every one blows this way out of proportion i was bullied in school and guess what i punched the kid and got suspended for a day then he stopped bullying me. and some one calling your kid fat isnt bullying is the other kid being perceptive
>>27665486
If I were you I would keep my options open and double major, and would have one of my majors be the one that is an in demand field and have the majors diversify your options. If that's the case, I would go with math.
But it is your call of course.
>>27665627
I wish I could just major in everything gosh.
I guess I'll check out a major in math/science, something like bio/physics/chem and maybe double major in history and education?
I guess that would make it a triple major huh...
>>27665356
Programming is such a stupid meme.
I can't wait until the inflated tech bubble blows up over everyone's face and people will realize what a mistake it was to dedicate 8 years of their life learning CS.
Going to be glorious seeing pretentious hipster millenials shit themselves.
>>27665679
You can do it if you put your mind to it man.
Good luck.
>>27665679
Math Major here. I fucking wish I had chosen Math + Computer Science or Math + Finance. Especially the Math + Finance one. I would be fucking set. But nope. Just. Fucking. Math.
I am trying to teach myself everything about finance and programming these last 2 semesters so I can hopefully find a job. I don't want grad school. I thought I did but realized I really don't. I want a fucking job.
>>27665679
i would say this is a good idea i was dumb and only did Math and elementary education. turns out that if you have a major in math sic/bio what ever you can teach in elementary shcools in the state of TN.
>>27665730
Thanks anon.
I really truly appreciate it.
I can't imagine teaching in elementary and HS.
Public school has convinced me that is simply a giant daycare under the guise of preparing kids for college (something I might add, does extremely poorly at). Putting overworked and mostly ill informed parents at ease to what our education system is about.
It all seems to be shuffling kids and keeping up with standardized testing which basically forces you to teach test and/or fine ways to get poor students kicked out so you can keep your metrics up.
On top of that all it takes is some spoiled stacy or one porn popular to show up on the projector to not only ruin your career but your life by being labeled a sex ofender.
Why even have teachers with education degrees, to me wouldn't someone who is genuinely intrested in a particular subject and works or worked in a related field be better suited?
>>27665836

Colleges, atleast in my states (NJ), require you to major in the subject you want to teach as well as education
>See this thread.
>Decide to go to Youtube and search my old high school.
>Latest videos still show a bunch of niggers and wiggers in fights.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of the people in my class (2009) are either dead or in prison by now.
>>27665614
Bullying is way less of a problem now than it used to be. There's hardly any in-person physical bullying, now it's almost all like sending messages on social media or shunning.
>>27665836
>wouldn't someone who is genuinely intrested in a particular subject and works or worked in a related field be better suited?
Yes. I teach 5th grade math, and most of the math teachers barely know more than about a 7th or 8th grade level understanding other than being really fluent with basic calculations--they are not sound conceptually. The ones who are solid have either taught themselves over the years or came from a math/engineering background. I did CompSci and started dual majoring with electrical engineering and I constantly read articles and books on math teaching methods so I know my shit backwards and forwards.
>hurr 5th grade math is just times tables
Not anymore. Math is actually way too hard and covers too much material for average kids--there's really no need for random 10 year olds who aren't gifted to be trying to abstract away problem situations into 2-variable equations and solving them, but that's an example of a concept that literally every 5th grader is expected to master. Meanwhile I didn't learn that shit until algebra I in my accelerated 7th grade math class.
>>27666035
>Latest videos still show a bunch of niggers and wiggers in fights.
Where did you go to school? Some Inner city shit?
>>27665876
Because a lot of my "greatest" college professors, ones who have plenty of papers and excellent research, are absolute shit. They don't explain well, are unintelligible, or (the worst kind) put you down for trying to succeed in their classes instead of helping you up.
Literally had "astounding researchers" tell me shit like "You wanna tell me you're interested in 'math topic'? You don't even know anything about it. I can not understand why you would say that if you don't even know the first thing about it. For example, do you know how to 'math concept'? This is basic and you should be able to do that. The way you think about math is extremely worrisome. I'm not sure it can really be taught either, it's just the way you approach math that worries me."
Thanks professor, I'm like a sophomore undergraduate but thanks for letting me know I will never be at your level.
He did this literally every time I spoke with him and I found out he was saying the same shit to all the other students too. Pulled an A out of his class and got the fuck out of there.
>>27662725
The kids in my hs would make teachers cry
>>27666126
Precisely the reason why we need free equalized colleges.
It's time to shut down the Ivy Leagues
>>27666161
Lol I go to an Ivy League school and I'm the person you're responding to.
I agree with you.
My red pilled Civics teacher got fired from throwing a nigg off a shelf as a sub teacher among other things.
>>27666179
This tiered schooling system has created too many people with narcissistic personality disorder.
It's become one giant circlejerk and self-blowjob contest.
>>27666194
>throwing a nigg off a shelf
wut
>>27666126
Worse teachers I have to deal with have tended to be Chem and calculus. Which is sad becuase Chem is one of my favorite subjects allmost all of them tended to have miserable personalities like they felt what they were doing was benith them. Never wanted to help other students succeed and worse didn't care how intrested you were in said subjects.
>>27666300
The worst teachers I've had to deal with*
>>27666234
Yep. Seen them all.
<original comment>
>>27666300
Upper division math teachers talk openly about hating to have to teach the new students calculus.
>>27666194
How 'redpilled' was he?
>>27665714
Literally every industry needs technology to bring their business into the modern era. Software isn't going anywhere.
Also who the fuck spends 8 years learning CS? That's double the maximum amount of time it should take.
I sub
I seriously hate it, primary is glorified day care
The teachers are pretty retarded overall, they'd be lost without the teachers edition just like that Simpsons episode. they're all middle aged women.
Where are the male role models?
I'm so fucking lonely there, a sea of ineptitude and stagnation. I just want to have a real conversation without stupid ass platitudes and stupid bullshit. What does an education major even learn?
>>27663429
you didnt post a face
>tfw I actually love teaching, all levels of teaching, but didn't major in education and my parents and wife would never approve of me switching to become a teacher because of the time it takes and the pay
I love teaching though. Primary, high school, middle school, anything. I love it. It's why I majored in math.
But now I'm on the actuary train because I need to make money. One day I want to go back and teach though.
>>27666865
Whats an actuary
>>27666944
Someone who calculates risk and does a lot of simple math, often a little programming, to help insurance companies.
Or, for a meme answer
>Someone who actuates.
>>27666746
>mfw

>>27666944
It's someone who "assess" the worth of an object for insurance so they can get a premium that reflects the objects value should a claim be made.
It a heavy statistics/math based field since insurance lives on statistics.
Female teachers just toy with horny students
>>27667035
lol.
I remember my 23 year old teacher.
>4-6th grade had a pretty cool teacher in my all male gym class
>was nice to everyone one and known throughout the school as best gym teacher
>girls gym teacher was a total cunt who would never let the boys and girls play sports with each other
>cool teacher left my school for one that pays more and was only kinder-5th
>7th grade gym teacher would literally just give straight up class long speeches about how to respect other when they speak(which wasn't that bad)and the good deed that he did recently
>for some reason he thought he was funny but he only had one joke
The joke was "me and my two black buds went in to the market and a kid passed by and said look mom and oreo"
>said this nearly every month
>probably came up with it to make him self look better since he has black friends
>got a letter that older cool teacher was sent to prison for molestation of a student.
>>27667414
>me and my two black buds went in to the market and a kid passed by and said look mom and oreo"
I laughed
>>27661911
Not formally a teacher, but I used to volunteer at an outdoor skating rink every year, shovelling and watering the ice, keeping an eye on the changing shack, and so on. I did it because it gave me an opportunity to talk to the kids when they came into the shack to change, who appreciated being talked to as mature equals. They would sometimes come and just sit in the shack all evening as I taught them about the politics of anarchism.
One day I had a guy come storming up to me and, if I hadn't been 6' 5", I think he'd have taken a poke at me. He demanded to know, "Did you tell my kid not to listen to me?"
Turns out, he had ordered his 11 year old son to clean his room and the kid had said, "I don't have to listen to you, the guy at the shack says I'm an anarchist."
Feels good, man.
I teach english to 2nd through 8th grade
>teaching an 8 year old
>kid randomly says "you're weird!"
I kind of want to teach history at the middle/high school level. My mom is a teacher, I have two uncles who are teachers, my sister is a special ed teacher and my grandfather was a principal. My dad is getting his degree to become a teacher. In short, I've been around this kind of stuff a lot.
It seems like something I might like. Teaching kids, maybe helping them with life and growing up, a set work schedule and a lot of time off. But I'm also not a very good public speaker because I get extremely nervous and can never just be comfortable in front of an audience, so I feel like I wouldn't be able to get over it. Any teachers that used to have this problem?
Also, anyone here teach at the secondary level before? Pros/cons?
>>27667741
Explain to the child that it's not nice to put other people down
