I mean sometimes I curse this state.
So… I can say “Let her cook”?
This seems like a joke from some Michigan school teacher … similar to how a lot of Ohio State football fans say *ichigan and things
No, “Ohio” has entered slang as meaning “boring hell”, basically. All over.
Ugh, I hate gen Z’s slang. It’s just nonsensical babble and meta references…
Teaching the youth about freedom in the US.
I actually get it in an English class. You’re there to teach them vocab not let them crutch along on slang.
I think any teacher worth their salt can teach English and draw the parallels between modern vernacular. I would like to believe teachers can do both.
I’d even go so far as to call teachers who refuse to adapt to the change in “slang” lazy.
It’s not about adapting to change. It’s just as valid to tell a kid they can’t use “good” and “bad” in whatever they’re writing or discussing. The adaptation is understanding that those slang words essentially amount to the same things because that’s how kid’s slang works. You’re not conveying any rich meaning by repeating sigma over and over for whatever you think is good and mid for bad.
On that list the only complex idea is mewing, but the fact that it’s complex means the kids who didn’t understand its complexity have stripped it out. That’s because it’s not, in of itself, an actual slang term.
Seems like one of those annoying strict teachers to me lol
I think you underestimate the increase in the difficulty of teachers jobs in the last 5 years. They’ve lost a lot of their ability to even teach due to internet parenting and brain rot.
Brain rot has ALWAYS been a thing. Don’t blame the internet for that! We’re the same species that convinced ourselves that a magical man in the sky is looking over everyone, at all times, and making sure there’s a grand plan in place. Nothing happens without reason, and it’s all his devine plan…but also, we have child rapists, murderers, animal abusers, wife beaters, nuclear weapons, war, disease, famine, the list goes on. Every horrific tragic thing that’s ever happened was always meant to happen, because it’s all part of the plan.
Come on. You don’t think there’s shitloads of people with brain rot going on, dating back centuries? Millenias even?
