#Aizawa and All Might's (and everyone else's) poor teaching technique is a symptom of a deeply flawed system

[pocketramblr]

Everyone who is getting hateful or bashy on that quirk exam post should probably consider chilling way out when

1- I literally made a joke about being too lazy to want to write an extra lesson plan if I have an out and suggested another teacher be likewise lazy

2- I literally made a joke about lying to students and while I brushed it off I will admit that one week's theme in student teacher meetings was "when and how to lie to students, convincingly."

3- Aizawa isn't a good teacher for the exact same reason there isn't a single good teacher at ua, for the exact same reason neither Izuku nor Mirio seriously trained until pros took interest: BECAUSE NO ONE EVER TAUGHT THEM HOW. They don't HAVE certificates to teach, just the one to do physical training that's automatic on having a full pro lisence, and varrying levels of high school and college degrees bc I'll remind you that neither of those things are actually currently compulsory in Japan

#Aizawa and All Might's (and everyone else's) poor teaching technique is a symptom of a deeply flawed system #where a rat throws a traumatized man (or one woman and one nb person at a time) who's a survival expert at a bunch of teenagers #and says 'keep as many of them alive as long as possible. go' #it is not some deep moral failing on either parts #that no one ever gave them the YEARS of pedagogical training they'd need to be good teachers #and they just legitimately do not have the time to get that training while teaching #there's a reason my tag for that salt is 'ua is a hell school' and not 'x is a horrible terrible teacher' #i don't wonder at all that fandom makes *any* of the teachers better #because we want to have good teachers in our stories and it's not like there a whole lot of options #salt #like YES i said there was no good reason AT ALL to not send izuku to the nurse imediately on breaking his fingers #and that's true #but Aizawa did have a reason: he is FULLY aware that at any point *during* schooling those kids could die #and so as a trauma response he doesn't let himself treat anything as less than the worst case scenario #it'sa bad reason yes #but it's there #so everyone sending 'UGH i HATE him why is he just so TERRIBLE' like you know why!! you know why dude #and everyone who said 'this is why xxx would be a better teacher' stop... did that character get the years of training to be a teacher? #unless you were thinking fuyumi or that one other primary teacher #(and the anon who sent it sure wasn't) #then no they don't have the training #they wouldn't do well #and they likely wouldn't even do as well as Aizawa did on having at least experience #and if you were thinking fuyumi as much as i love her #she is NOT trained to teach teenagers #there'sa reason those are completely different programs #she might be able to do better #but 'do well'? that's a big stretch dude #anyway rant over #mostly bc i am now out of tags >:(
