#TikTok teachers

[oblivion-wonderlust]

okay i fucking hate tiktok teachers that complain about the kids in their class not knowing stuff.

like if you’re complaining about middle school kids not being able to pronounce and spell ITALIAN DERIVED music terminology you have absolutely lost the plot. they’re middle schoolers. they’re there to learn. if you go on to tiktok and complain about how little jimmy couldn’t spell ‘glissando’ or ‘semiquaver’ on the test you gave the class, you are ruining any love that kid may have for music by calling him too dumb for music. just stop.

like seriously, they’re out there complaining about kids these days don’t know what 9/11 was or who edward snowden was and what he did (no that’s eward cullen from twilight you’re thinking of, this is a real person) like the class of kids that graduated this year were BORN IN 2005. THEY WERE 8 WHEN THE SNOWDEN LEAKES HAPPENED. at this point, you’re just mad that you’re old. “oh but they don’t know who hitler was” well i don’t know about you but i wasn’t taught about world war 2 UNTIL THE 10TH GRADE.

like at this point you’re literally assuming that all kids are born with all knowledge conveniently downloaded into their head, or you’re assuming that the kids are failing at some secret school they’re supposed to go to before they come to real school.

how can you, a grown adult human person, look at a kid dead in the eye and say she’s stupid for not knowing about things they haven’t learned about in school yet? how are you assuming that the average kid born after 2005 know about edward snowden or the 2008 stock market crash?

and what do you expect will happen when you go on tiktok and complain about this stuff? will they kid magically learn everything? or will they never ask questions out of the fear of being shamed and end up worse off?

#like i get they don’t get paid enough #but to blame the kids for asking their teacher about something they don’t know about is insidious #teachers like that really need to take a hard look at themselves and try to understand why they feel the way they do #you don’t get to be frustrated with a student of yours hasn’t heard of something you just mentioned #tiktok teachers #teachers #gen alpha #gen z #students #school #rant #196 #long

A teacher in California who identifies as "cringey" is going viral after claiming she does not teach grammar usage and writing skills in an attempt to defeat white supremacy.

Marta Shaffer teaches English at Oroville High School and uses linguistics to fight "white supremacy in my classes" and be "inclusive of all kinds of ways we use the language," she said.

The expectation that students should use syntax and proper grammar is based in a deep-rooted white supremacy culture, she argues, according to a report.

"I try to undermine that B.S. in my classroom as much as I can," she said. "We study linguistics and the rules that we actually use to communicate instead of the made-up rules that white supremacy created for when we write papers and stuff, which is what scholars call the 'language of power.'"

"As an educator, I constantly worry if I'm the problem. What do I mean by that? Well, public education is an institution that upholds lots of problematic systems in our society like white supremacy and misogyny and colonization, etc.," she said. "Well, let's look at how we write essays [in which we] start with an introduction that includes a thesis, always cite your sources, use transition words like 'however' and 'therefore.' These are all made-up rules. They were created by Westerners in power. Which got me thinking, what if I started my school year with a unit honoring how we talk rather than teaching students how to write properly."

One example is a prompt in which Shaffer has students examine how they communicate at home.

"Just because your teachers, your professors, and your boss may expect you to write and speak in a certain way that may not be natural to you, does not mean that your more natural ... languages are not important," she said.

"They are just as important, if not more important, than the 'language of respectability.'"

Despite her efforts, Shaffer wants to make sure she does not become a "white savior."

"Did I worry I was being a white savior? Absolutely. Was it uncomfortable? Definitely, but a lot of my students come here, and they're uncomfortable with the white mainstream culture of public school life," she said.

"So I think it's good for them to see their teacher deal with linguistic discomfort, too."

When the inmates aren't just running the asylum, but society itself.

Reminder that K-12 teachers do not have academic freedom. They're government employees. They have no more freedom of expression in the performance of their job than Kim Davis has freedom of religion the performance of hers. Firing Shaffer is removing a dangerously unqualified employee, like removing a bus driver who doesn't have a license.

One could easily be convinced that Shaffer is a member of the KKK deliberately undermining students and particularly minorities, with her rhetoric of school being a white place, syntax and grammar being white things, writing skills being for white people. What better way to keep them in their place than by sabotaging their education? Marta Shaffer herself is a full-blown white supremacist. She's exactly that.

What's not mentioned in the article but stated in the video is that she didn't just come up with this on her own. She cites "Dr." April Baker-Bell's "Linguistic Justice," which has over 160 5-star reviews on Amazon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Baker-Bell

April Baker-Bell is an American academic and the author of Linguistic Justice: Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy. She is the 2020 recipient of the Orwell Award from the National Council of Teachers of English.

She is a native of Detroit, Michigan, and is an associate professor in the English department of Michigan State University.

Baker-Bell's website proudly boasts that she's been featured on the BBC and in USA Today.

When a Muslim beats his wife, he knows he's doing the right thing because the quran says so. Marta Shaffer isn't just some random nutter; she has certainty that she's doing the right thing because the scripture says so. Which also means that there's even more Shaffers out there doing exactly the same thing with exactly the same certainty. We just haven't identified them yet.

Eddie filming a tiktok before one of the soccer meets (maybe like day long blitz tournament) in a cheerleader outfit. Phone set up before he came downstairs, catching Steve scrolling on his phone, filling his water, checking the time and reminding Eddie they had to leave. And Eddie’s like, pretending it’s normal while Steve is just blinking at him.

He threatened to do it, and they all assumed he had forgotten but no, Eddie’s middle names are ‘committed to the bit’ (family name)

I think it’s infinitely funnier if Steve doesn’t notice that he’s wearing a cheerleading uniform for like, a while.

Eddie sets the camera up in the kitchen since Steve spends the majority of his time before a game in there pacing, and then he just stands there in the middle of the room. And waits. And Steve does not notice. It’s like:

Eddie: *standing in the middle of the kitchen in a red and gold cheerleading uniform*

Steve: *walks pass to double check the schedule on the fridge to make sure he has the time right*

Steve: *walks pass while putting on his jersey*

Steve: *walks pass to fill their cooler with drinks and sandwiches*

Steve: *walks pass to refill his water bottle*

Steve: *walks pass to triple check the schedule*

Steve: *walks pass looking at his phone*

Steve: *walks pass while texting Robin*

Steve: *walks pass to look at the schedule again*

Steve: *walks pass while reminding Eddie that they need to leave in fifteen minutes*

Steve: *stops right next to Eddie to read an article about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner*

Eddie: Babe, do these shoes match my outfit?

Steve, looking away from his phone and directly at Eddie’s shoes: If you’re going to have your legs out then you need to put sunscreen on them because you… *finally notices*

Steve:

Steve:

Steve:

Eddie: 2,4,6,8 who do you appreciate?

Steve: …This outfit

#Comments on the stream include: people being like ‘yeah me too Steve’ #and others being like ‘can’t believe I just witnessed my old math teacher get turned on’ #i thought anout going angsty with it and saying that the uniform reminded #him too much of Chrissy but the prompt was too funny to do that #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

Steve makes one of those teacher tiktok accounts where he mostly talks about teaching and tips for learning and stuff, he also posts videos like

“You wonder what it’s like to be a teacher? I’m spending my evening doing seating arrangements, the trick is to not let people who have any kind of tension, are close friends, have a crush, lose concentration easily, sit close to each other… so basically I’m playing sudoko but I only have 1, 2s, and 3s… and also the numbers change daily..” you can see him looking down at something wrinkling his eyebrows and then nodding to himself and he’s like “I think I got it though”

the next day he duets it and it’s just him looking tired and in the background you can hear incoherent shouting, the caption just says ‘there’s apparently been a breakup’

for some reason there’s a comment by Eddie Munson, famous rockstar, that’s like “you should let it play out, drama is what high school is about” and Steve has just replied “this is why you repeated senior year twice” not acknowledging at all that this famous Grammy winner commented and everyone are just like ??? ?? what are you doing here ??? and why is this high school teacher roasting u ???

#also the absolute audacity of Steve KING STEVE being like ‘Eddie it’s not about drama’ and Eddie is just like ?? you wanna tell me that #again babe? wanna repeat that Steve Harrington former king of Hawkins high? #yeah idk what this is I just like the idea of Steve having a little tiktok account all about being a teacher #and Eddie comments on like half the #videos and everyone’s like ?? I guess he’s into education? or something? #people in the comments are also like “’you have assigned seating in high school’ and Steve responds to it with a video telling people about #the one time he tried to not have it and the utter chaos it resulted in and he looks so truly haunted no one questions it again #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie #stranger things #my post #dels steddie thoughts

…… this is Eddie rn……..

Eddie is a menace to society in general, but also specifically to his PR team. Once he knows that he can stir up a lot of drama by being vague about Steve’s job, he’s going to do it.

Of course, he is.

He once took a call mid-live interview because Steve was calling him like, “Oh, my husband is calling. He must be at recess. Hold on.”

He then proceeded to say on a hot mic, “What’s up, big boy?”

Eddie once said on a live-streamed game of D&D that Steve couldn’t join them because he was “doing homework.” Steve was working on a lesson plan in the literal same room as him.

Eddie was a featured guest at a convention and Steve was supposed to go with him but woke up that morning feeling off so he decided to stay behind at the hotel. Eddie obviously wasn’t going to tell people Steve’s private information so he said instead that Steve couldn’t come because, “He’s got a bad case of summer school.”

Without fail, someone inevitably takes the statement in the stupidest possible direction and Eddie gets a strongly-worded email from his PR Manager telling him to knock it off but also to clean up his mess. So, Eddie gets to shove a camera in Steve’s face to prove that while his husband is aging gracefully and beautifully, he is definitely not eighteen.

“Right, baby?” Eddie asks.

Steve pushes the camera out of his face so he can go back to cooking, “Right.”

“That was a pretty good explanation, right?” Eddie continues. Steve hums back in response so he asks, “What grade am I, Mr. Harrington?”

Steve, who is tired of his work friends making fun of him over this, doesn’t even look up from his cutting board to tell Eddie, “You’re a grade-A dick.”

#The other teachers keep stopping Steve in the hall and asking if he has a hallpass #or asking what a minor is doing in the teacher's lounge every time he's trying to reheat his coffee #It's funny...the first time #But Steve has resigned himself to this being his life until Eddie gets bored of the bit #eddie munson tiktok saga #eddie munson #steve harrington
