This was sad yet fascinating. I'm sorry. I laughed a little bit at the title 😭. I know it's hard to deal with children but how are you making children your enemies?! Especially at such a young age.

i’ve seen a massive uptick of posts where teachers are talking about how awful and cruel their students are and it turns out they teach at a middle school. like yeah. of course theyre evil. theyre 13. being evil is kind of a requirement for that age. there seems to be a cultural amnesia as to what it was like to be young and trying to figure stuff out. if anything, i feel like kids these days are more understanding of diversity and any generation before them. a current middle schooler wouldn’t call me a queer, they’d make a much more cutting and hurtful remark about my appearance #progress also if your first reaction to your students misbehaving is to kvetch about it on reddit, maybe find a different line of work

All the kids have IEP’s (Individualized Education Program) …. And THANK GOD.
Context: On the side I babysit quite a lot. One of these amazing kiddos just graduated Kindergarten! His dad was explaining to me they have a meeting every month to re evaluate his needs and how he's doing and such with his IEP. Curious I asked how hard it was to get him one when he is so young AND in public school. As I remember how hard it was to get one when I was in school. Anyway His dad explained to me that almost everyone in his class has one or at least a 504 plan. In fact he told me (Jokingly) “I mean if you don't have one , that means something wrong”, and honestly…yeah. I always thought it was crazy to ask kids to sit still inside a classroom for the whole day. Obviously I know there is definitely more nuance to this topic that I have no idea about as Im not a parent or a educator. Although bottom line I am glad these accomadations are more accessible to family's and there kids!

my freshman year of high school i went to a new school and i didnt know how to do school well bc i have learning disabilities. it was an academically rigorous traditional school and i forgot to do my homework bc i was bad at planning ahead and like generally keeping track of things. anyway like the first week of this new school i get to class and got called on about the homework and i had to say in front of the class that i forgot. this teacher was known to be an odd ball/old school and he yelled at me and sent me out of class and asked me and told me only to return when i was prepared and ready to learn. needless to say i was stunned and packed up my stuff and ran out crying. i mean i was literally like 14.
this then became the folklore everyone told new students about this teacher and it got passed down but no one realized it was me and when i became like a senior i would tell freshman and they were like that was you?!?!
anyway this teacher years later got clocked for sexual misconduct and buying kids alcohol lol
