Cracker teacher in a predominantly black school.

mad at a 12 year old with diagnosed but unmedicated ADHD for stating that they did not understand what they did wrong.

Describing children as ontologically evil and wishing imprisonment upon them.

Refusing to state what the child supposedly did wrong because they know they'll get dragged for it.

Already retired and posting ragebait for karma

Yeah, that's Reddit for ya

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There’s an alarming number of teachers like this in the real world, as well.

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

Yeah, of course there are. But between hope and my own experience as an educator, I have to believe they're not the majority. These salty fucks typically burn out hard and fast, or they were already like 2 years from retirement when they start going nuclear like this.

On Reddit, it's almost always some dude like this one who sees an unusually high salary for the region at an underserved urban school and then gets mad when their (typically Authoritarian) classroom management style doesn't end up working.

[–] Bakzik@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, they exist.

Had a bunch of them in elementary.

It was also the height of neoliberal educational policy, so oppressive teachers + pushing competition between students were the norm...

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Definitely not the majority, but in my experience, it’s very difficult to change even when a situation is out of control.

[–] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Freudian slip with “whiteness karma” too

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Autocorrect coming in clutch with the "telling on yourself" assist.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Sounds about white.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 56 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The only reason a lot of kids aren't in prison is that they aren't old enough. Yet.

So anyway I'm a complete psycho.

How has reddit gotten WORSE over the years?

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago (3 children)

"But the school to prison pipeline," they always say. Idk man, I feel like this deflects the blame away from actual criminals.

What a fascinating thing to say. Why don't you tell it to that wall over there? how-compelling

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

What a mindset to view the children in your care as hardened criminals that deserve to be trafficked to prison.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

Criminal childrenwhat-the-hell

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

Lots of left spaces have gotten banned

Lots of front page sites have become more bot/zionist/racist infested

Not to mention, the site's userbase has been in decline for years

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I choose to believe that's just a bot trained on comment data. 🤢

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago

I have taught long enough to whiteness karma work it’s magic though.

hell of a freudian slip

[–] Kaputnik@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

This teacher is just an asshole but the relationship between teachers and students is complex and most of the issues are systemic. In the same way that a retail or food service worker may hate their customers because of how some customers act, it should not be surprising when teachers may come to hate 'students' in the abstract when the students are what cause them the most difficulty on a day to day basis. Now some teachers are able to introspect and understand that the students themselves are not the root cause of these problems.

People outside of education often think teachers have control over their schools and students. However that control is mostly a facade, teachers increasingly feel powerless in their own classrooms as society cuts more and more support positions forcing teachers to pick up the slack. Students with exceptional learning or behavioural needs are left in overcrowded classrooms and obviously this causes problems that are not the fault of these students.

Most teachers are only in the system because they care about the kids. I wouldn't look at the teachers subreddit and expect a real look at how these teachers think. Most (not this guy) are mainly venting and coping using dark humour as the system collapses around them, much like how outsiders are surprised at how medical workers use dark humour to cope.

I basically never believe "ermahgerd, look what wacky thing a student put on their worksheet!1!" posts, feel like upvote-farming and easy enough to fake.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

I have taught long enough to whiteness karma work it’s magic though.

Hmm.

[–] TommyBeans@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I refuse to believe the r/teachers sub is anything more than fanfic

For my own sanity, I’m aware teachers do think like this, I had some real stinkers

[–] prole@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wtf is even wrong here? Am I missing something? The handwriting makes me think this is a pretty young kid, but also the whole thing feels like rage bait or something

[–] TommyBeans@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Could be rage bait for Karma farming or something like that

Edit: Idk, snooped their account cause I’m bored at work, allegedly they quit teaching just to complain and argue with people about being an uber driver on reddit. Probably just an asshole who fell for the rage bait and posted it to the teaching sub. Looks like a local ranting spot for them; I, the sophisticate, use the general mega for that

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

FWIW the overwhelming majority of teachers on Reddit seem genuinely concerned for the well being of their kids.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only the neurotypical kids.

Reddit teachers are a lot like reddit nurses. They hate the disabled

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nothing will beat the r/Professors post about how their student is a weak crybaby for asking for an extension because their mother was dying in the hospital and how all their students with accommodations were faking it because they’re lazy and are useless burdens that need to be expelled

Expressing nazi opinions on neurodivergent people is socially acceptable.

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Lol holy shit.

Meanwhile I give (gave if this layoff sticks) extensions out to the registrar's deadline. What's the point of penalizing ppl for life, exactly?

[–] RuthBaderGonesburg@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the main complaints I see are about lack of support from administration, insane parents, and children that can’t focus/read because of screens

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

lack of support from administration

This is putting it very mildly. A lot of posts I've read depict administration as openly hostile to the teachers.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Fuck this person in particular

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Once had a reddit teacher tell me they knew more about black people and common struggles we face than me cuz they taught black kids

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

a lot of teachers are unfortunately more committed and emotionally attached to schooling than to pedagogy

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

"We LiVe In A meRitOCRacY"

The meritocracy in question:

I remember watching Making a Murderer with my non-teaching partner and she was saying 'I can't believe the police based so much on a bad vibe'. I was like babe, a bad vibe is my whole profession.
