      I just had sucky teachers. Most classes consisted of walking in, and the teacher making us copy some overheads, then do work in the textbook, then homework. The teacher didn’t really engage or teach us anything, just sat there on his phone

        In all reality the books should be enough for people to learn. Teachers don’t actually ‘teach’. They all just regurgitate info.

          …if that’s the case, why do professors exist in this day and age with so many books? Why don’t we have a scholar system in reality if books should be enough for people to learn?

          Like, if you’ve ever had a good teacher before, they’re not JUST regurgitating info, they’re connecting it to the wider context that currently surrounds you, aka your daily lived life (at least in a lot of cases, I’m sure there are many flavors of what makes a teacher better than an info regurgitator, but this is a solid one that I personally know of)

          Teachers, while they may suck or not have the ability to be good for whatever reason, are not supposed to be just information spewing robots.

          That might be how you learn, but it certainly isn’t how everyone learns. Also, that’s just a shitty take on teachers.

        Dunno why people keep saying this like it’s a new thing lmao, since phones have become popular even in the flip phone days teachers and schools have or tried to ban them.

        It doesn’t work, it never works, kids will always find a way to sneak them in lmaooo

    English teacher caught me doing this, confiscated my walkman, told me to come by when the day was done to get it back. Came back and he was rocking out with his own headphones, said I had good taste, but not to let it happen again. (The best of 3 dog night), hallway home the batteries died, I was prideful and upset the rest of the walk home.

    Yeah music is cool but you should try doing well in school. What other longterm objectives could you possibly have while living with your parents?

    I used to do the secret service version. Cables runs through your back and have it go over your ear. I had a fro so teachers couldn’t see my cable or earphones.

      I just did the thing where you drink vodka in the parking lot with the Polish kids at lunch so you don’t care about having to sit through class.
