Odd is kiki, even is bouba.
Why the fuck do I understand and agree with this, this is bullshit, fuck the human condition
"Of course, smartypants. Green is for imaginary and complex numbers, yellow for transcendental real numbers, orange for other irrational real numbers, and brown for rational numbers. If you encounter any other kind of number, I'll tell you which color to use."
But all numbers are imaginary. They will color everything green
That one pupil: "What you said was too complexated." *scribbles green all over page and desk*
You let them have more than blue and red on the table. This is what you have done wrong.
Green is not a creative colour!
I've seen that around. The first time was some graffiti in the bathroom at college. What is that reference?
Oh man, enjoy watching the "don't hug me I'm scared" series for the first time. It's a good time, fair warning though that the show can be pretty unsettling so keep that in mind if you're going to be in an ... Uh ... Altered state of mind 😉
More unsettling than saladfingers?
I would say salad fingers is unsettling on its nose. Its whole thing is to be as unsettling as possible. Don't hug me I'm scared tricks you into thinking it's wholesome before slowly becoming more and more creepy.
Listen to the voices in your brain
For some people, that may not be good advice.
DHMIS gives out quite a bit of bad advice.
Flee, before you find out. Trust me, it's for your own ..San, What's your favorite idea? Mine is being creative
That sounds really boring.
I don't know why people are downvoting you, that's my favorite quote from it.
Because they don't realize it's a quote. XD
Teaching children became much easier for me once I realized that I occasionally phase completely out of their perceivable reality.
I've learned to coach them through active listening practices to find out what they have even heard for the first time, yet. Regardless of how many times I've repeated myself.
They're basically tripping on acid
Poor kid is just colourblind, undiagnosed.
My highschool friend was colorblind and nearly failed kindergarten. They would ask him to color things red and he'd be like "it's all red?" and paint the whole page blue
Failed kindergarten? You guys can fail the first year of school, the one where all you do is play with toys and learn how to interact with other children?
There was a kid in my class that had to repeat kindergarten. It happens.
In my area of the USA what you described would be called preschool which, yes, you can fail. My sibling was held back because they were shy. Here kindergarten is more structured learning like any other grade.
In Britain we have "reception" (when you're aged 4-5) which is the first year of primary school, and I assumed equivalent to your kindergarten. I don't recall there being much formal education in the same way as there is for the rest of school, but it was definitely more structured than preschool/nursery/playgroup that you'd go to beforehand.
You do want a kindergartener to have number/letter recognition by the end. Able to count to 10 or 20, recognize the full alphabet.
In my country, yeah you might need to retake it. I mean if you're not understanding the concept presented why force your passing to have you struggle at you're second year if school. But that will not be considered failling just retaking.
OK, I think I was just thrown by the use of "passing" and "failing". Repeating the first year based on development makes sense, but "passing" and "failing" imply you're taking some kind of written exam and need to qualify for a position!
My brothers repeated because they had trouble socialising. That was the official reason, but they were bullied and the hope was they could be more assertive given another year. So yeah, they essentially failed that "interact with other children" part.
I think that should become clear in kindergarten no?
My dad and his brother didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood.
My dad after he wore a horrific shirt at uni, and my uncle after he passed almost all the tests to be a airforce pilot.
Turns out they don’t have colourblind mode for military jets, and colourblindness can be surprisingly well hidden, the brain does everything it can to hide the flaw, you really have to break assumptions to make it glitch out and guess wrong.
that's interesting!
If this were real, one of the kids who admits they have no idea what they're doing would have already, quite confidently, stolen a pair of scissors from god knows where, cut out every single square, then arranged them in numerical order. Only THEN would they admit to not knowing wtf they're doing.
That child would then be labeled “gifted” at highschool, crash and burn as an adult, and be finally diagnosed withADHD at the age of 28.
This is why being a chemistry teacher will turn your hair white.
Instructions are written out, I’ve modeled every step, “please read the entire lab first and make sure you understand every step before you start.”
But now one group is filling a beaker with indicator and another is fucking up their data beyond recognition because they forgot you have to tare the scale (which you already explained and modeled to that group personally, because they do this every time).
When you chose lab activities/materials, the consideration is “in what ways could the most determined teenager hurt themselves or others?” Kids will drink chemicals, spill them on themselves, and mix them at random. At least one group per period will fuck up any given lab beyond all recognition, in shocking and new creative ways.
It’s why so much is done with baking soda and vinegar. I can hit pretty much every standard and concept with those two and some alka seltzer tablets, and I can’t think of a way that a teenager could kill themselves with those things.
A couple of them would have already lost (or "lost") their worksheet.
Several kids started coloring before being given directions.
Another one just doodled random things on the sheet
and another one … wait, where is Tom?
If this was real, all three would be punished for asking stupid questions and then get the lowest grade for not finishing the assignment
More teacher comics, please! 🥲
Those Blair Witch hands... 😨
Clearly they thought the numbers were imaginary so they colored them both red AND blue which of course makes green. Is it time for recess yet?
Way to summarize a two party system
Not everything has to be this. Please stop.
