My guess- they thought doing SOMETHING to teach kids about slavery and acknowledge that it happened was better than nothing. And they have zero common sense, and not even one black friend who they could ask about it.

Honestly? Because there are a helluva lot of mediocre teachers in the school systems in America.

As a fellow teacher, I couldn’t agree more. You have to be aware of the social implications of your lessons. For example, I teach 4th grade math and for several years there has been a word problem that involves Trump Towers in the curriculum. I threw that bad boy out this year, as I work at a school with a…

Wife is a teacher and I spun the laptop around to show her the headline and she immediately threw up her hands and backed away with a very loud, “Oh no, bullllllshit!”

I saw this today and think it would also be excellent, especially for younger kids who would terribly miss their parents or siblings:

What the actual? What’s this decision tree look like?

I thought they were making a joke about being in Jane Elliot’s class, but oh no.

It wasn’t an experiment. That was Jane Elliott teaching children what it meant to feel oppressed. She knew exactly what she was doing and did it well.

I *hope* it really was a well-meaning mistake. The scenario that I can see happening is that the teacher was focused on having the kids actually do research so they can connect with the material better. They were so focused on the “researching history” that they didn’t think through the activity they chose to go…

Well, at least they didn’t make the children role play and then shame with a picture of LeVar Burton.

I feel the same like who drew up this lesson plan then thought yeah this seems like a good idea.

You just want to say, “Really?”

Think of a better idea judgemental chicken!

If your first reaction to someone dumping a drink on your friends head is to follow them to their car, menace them so they can’t leave, and do damage to their property you might need some social skills/life coaching. I understand 19-year-olds do dumb shit, however we do not know the circumstances of why the drink was…

Omg, this reminds me of the craziest fucking lady I ever waited on. So this lady orders a burger and asks for it well done but with absolutely no charring on it. She says if there is any pink or if there is any char on the outside, I will be wearing it. So, I relay this to the cooks, who look at me like I’m crazy.…

Having spent 7 years working in a steakhouse, I can attest that there are exactly two kinds of adults who eat steak like this:

Who tells a stranger she has “nice skin?”

First thought: dang, I’m going to have to cook for the Seder this year.

Standing up for what they believe in. How un-American.

They were warned. It was explained to them. Still, they persisted.
