“If the curriculum is fucking awful, I might say that it is. I’m not teaching Sunday school”

Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Your kid is an awful fucking pussy. Sorry, but I’m not teaching Sunday school here, I’m conducting a parent-teacher conference.

Funny, because people feelings are taken at face value when we’re talking about sexual harrassment done by males or when somebody claims that they were raped/assaulted.

1. Her job is to teach early childhood education. And lack of professionalism IS a reason to be fired because if she was working as a teacher in a kindergarten, you bet that parents would be calling for her to be fired.

If your job is to teach early childhood education and you can’t keep a lid on your desire to refer to people “fucking pussies” or giving boyfriend advice to your students, maybe you should rethink just why you should get paid to do your job.

Most students only need a word processor and an Internet browser.

Maybe the real issue here is what the hell is it that you do to your computers that don’t make them last for more than 2 years.

It’s not that I don’t like Chromebooks. I’m saying that for students that have to do real work, Chromebook is a waste of money. If this was not your experience because you got on just fine with a Chromebook 10 years ago, then maybe you majored in basketweaving and therefore didn’t need to do much real work.

And students never campus unless they finish their work? The chance of your hard-drive dying is miniscule compared to the chance of your internet cutting out.

The US and Canada have obscenely expensive internet prices and the service is abysmal compared to the rest of the modern world. This is especially true if…

Yeah, nothing truly says that you’re a grown up like hating yogurt because you don’t like the word and hating salad, too.

Aren’t they supposed to be, given that the whole franchise is supposed to be about sado-masochism, i.e. torturing yourself for no good reason?

When are you guys going to declare mutiny on Kinja and just code your own platform and/or use something more sensible like Wordpress, Adobe, etc?

The desktop version of Word saves your work on your hard drive as often as you set it, with the default being every 10 minutes.

You are fucked with all internet-based apps because none of the work you do is saved on your own machine - it is saved on their own servers, so if you don’t have an Internet connection, you…

Even if you only need it to write a paper, the fact that you have to rely on an Internet connection to get ANYTHING done is a bad sign. Never mind the data security issues, but also the fact that if your Internet connection is interrupted (for whatever reason) you’re screwed. People - especially students - need to see…

No, it hasn’t been an accepted alternate meaning. That’s just the excuse of people who think that “LOL“ is a real word say.

Or the shorter version:

Twain’s parents died in a horrible car crash when she was young and she was forced to raise her siblings on her own since nobody else was around to help. So I’m going to bet that her husband cheating on her is pretty small potatoes in comparison.

That may work in the cartoon version, but it’s not necessarily an accurate representation of reality. People can be vulnerable and they can have bad days - and that vulnerability can certainly be exploited to “steal” somebody.

“literally do not care”? Literally?

That’s the thing though, you can’t even really control your community because it’s not yours to control. If you’re really into comedy and aren’t in a position (for whatever reason) to be in the big comedy centers (Chicago, NYC) you’re shit out of luck with regard to “community”. Had Tina Fey stayed in Virginia, nobody…
