Addison Rae is a Trump fan girl

[tabloidpersona]

ABSOLUTELY UNEXPECTED: Addison Rae gets out of her seat in the middle of the UFC to say hi former president Donald Trump. Addison says to Trump, “I have to say hi.” Addison previously denied being a Trump supporter and registered Republican, though her voter registration leaked. pic.twitter.com/ZuTzJjqaX9

that gif is so offensive on many levels

[sillycucumber2]

Yeah thats what i tell my students, like " have yall no shame?"

[sjazzmreow]

It's honestly ridiculous. My main school has been working hard to implement a phones in bags or they go to the office for the rest of the day policy, which is helping, but the kids still resist. The worst though is when parents kick up a stink about their precious little arsehole needing their phone and that the school has no right to touch their property and wah wah wah. No consideration to the rights of the teachers to do their jobs and the other students to learn. Some parents even ring their kids during class and it's so hard not to throw their phones over the balcony when that happens. One or two of these parents are the same ones who have the school number blocked cause they're sick of getting calls about what a disruptive little bastard their kid is. God knows what we're supposed to do if the kid has an accident.

I hate them.

Wowwww. Not to be all "kids these days" but parents really are so fucking indulgent towards their kids now. The emblem of that to me is, when I was a kid, I was always expected to get out of an adult's way. Now parents give me dirty looks if I walk through their group of kids... drives me insane.

Yea, my parents weren't strict by any means but we were not allowed to like, roll around on restaurant floors and the shit I see now. I feel like a lot of younger people have no desire to do any actual parenting and idgi, you're doing everyone a disservice, including your kids.

I feel very "kids these days" in this thread, and it's not entirely fair. I definitely think there's a trend of kids and their parents lacking humility/manners/not respecting adults/school/other people, etc, but at the same time lots of the kids I work with are beautiful and it's actually really lovely to see them grow and achieve.

One day after a particularly brutal year 9 lesson, one that was just utter hell, one boy stayed after the bell and went around tucking all the chairs in and straightening the desks. I didn't ask him to, he just did it and said "thanks miss" on his way out. I honestly had to hold back tears. I rang his mum to tell her what a wonderful child she had raised. I try to think of kids like that when I feel myself becoming bitter and jaded.

I used to adjunct and taught dual credit classes at the local high schools (worst fucking idea ever btw). I regularly had parents bringing their kids Starbucks during my 50 fucking minute class. And then they'd get mad when I wouldn't let the student go pick it up. So glad I'm not teaching anymore.

[pwrpuffgrl]

That has happened to me but in work interviews, when the candidates make their grammar and English test, just sitting there with their phones using Google translate like????

(It's communications field it's imperative that they need to have almost prefect grammar in our language -Spanish- and basic English).

[wormsinthedirt]

lmao wow, that's bold.

[cbluechicken]

at my school, they take their phones at the beginning of the day and students get them back at the end of the day, makes a world of difference.

[sjazzmreow]

Your school has it figured out, man. I wish this was general policy.

[littlebones]

my niece's school is the same. if they're caught with a phone, it's confiscated and to be picked up by a parent.

[ishi_chan]

reading that gave me anxiety and then I had to realize that when I actually went to school that was my reality (not having to hand off my phone but not rly using it the way I do now either...I got my first smartphone in college and I wasn't much of a texter before that) *sigh*

[bitchsdangerous]

I feel like kids have zero attention span anymore. My sisters 4yr old cannot watch a Disney movie in full because they're so used to obsessively watching short 3-5min clips on YouTube of people's Guinea pig's, watching people play video games (I get that for beating a level you're having a hard time passing, but otherwise it is not the least bit interesting for me and makes me want to scream), etc

It's a bit frightening that a kid will throw a tantrum if you try to make them watch a movie instead of hours of YouTube video scrolling. And in the classroom the instant ask is to get on the laptops. No. Pull out and read a book. Please.

I work at an organization that hast schools all over the country and the need for technology in education has become extremely hard for different reasons:

1. As you said: students seem to can't function without their phones but not in an academic way, it's a distraction.
2. They were born with technology, so they most of the time evidence the teacher may not be prepared enough to handle new education technologies, especially during the pandemic (that's on the school's academic team though)
3. Attention span, theirs is very short. I feel for teachers and how they have to balance the use of technology as a way to form students, but also as their worst nightmare.
