That relatable (older) Gen Z memory: when all the projectors and white boards got replaced by Smart Boards™ around like fifth grade and none of the teachers knew how to use them but they Had To Use them otherwise the school just wasted a bunch of money and it was a rlly weird transition
an addition: when they calibrated the board by pressing the dots and everyone in class lost their minds
Also when teachers seemed to battle over who got the laptop cart
I’ve had a college professor write in marker on one twice this month and now there’s a note about how it’s too old and they’re replacing it anyways like dude that cost more than my house learn how to use it
When I was in high school a lot of the projector transfers were stained and constantly replaced because that one teacher used the wrong pen. How can a math teacher ask where the radius is when the faded line is already there?
I swear, a class was needed for what pen to use.
why??? do teachers????? love group works so much???????
Only four projects to grade
Me: Now we’re going to end the nature talk with a very big snake– *opens bag to reveal a large ball python*
Thirty kindergartners: *screaming with excitement*
Me: Yes she is very big, does anyone know where ball pythons are from?
Kid: The woods!!
Me: Yes, they do like the woods where they’re from. It’s a very big continent. Who knows what continent you find them on?
Another kid: The sun!!
Me: That’s … in space, so no
Yet another kid: Earth!!!
Me: Yes … that’s definitely the planet they and we are on! The snake is from the same place giraffes and lions are from …
Several kids: The zoo!!!!
Me: A continent is–
Teacher, deadpan: It’s where Wakanda is
All thirty kindergartners: AFRICA
People acting like this is some statement on todays schooling when it says right in the post these are kindergartners. They’re just learning how to read and write it’s not surprising they don’t know what a continent is.
It’s more about how the teacher knew how to use the kids’ area of interest (Black Panther) to help them connect their background knowledge to the present situation.
Also it’s just funny.
