#English teacher for the win

[adventures-in-poor-planning]

Poetry is so fucking good I need to read more poetry

#sometimes i feel bad for my old english teachers because i just .... don't write anymore #but i still love poetry and i still remember every poem i learned in high school #so i think that counts as a win

when i was a kid i was so fucking scared of every single horror movie ever. like there was this movie i really really REALLY wanted to watch and we went to watch it and i was so excited. please note that i just wanted to watch it because there was a lion on the trailer. so i watched it and it was really good for a while but then there was a zombie and wasnt able to sleep for three months. it was a comedy movie

#i am normal about horror movjes now (kinda) bc my english teacher puts horror movies in class #this time we can choose and vote which movie were gonna watch (democracy wins) and hold on there are fireworks #ok im back um what was i saying #oh yeah. well i think were gonna watch puss in boots probably bc most of my classmates voted that as a joke (which. is rly awesome tbh)) #i personally voted mario live action movie 1993 bc its funny and i thought could be interesting but now people are laughing at me i think #oh well #ikna talks

Summary:

Lucas blinks, still staring at Dustin with a strange expression on his face. “Operation: Byler?” he echoes. “What the hell is Byler?”

“Byers and Wheeler,” Dustin says, giving his best friend an exasperated look. “Come on, Sinclair, keep up. I’m trying to set Will and Mike up with each other, since they obviously have a thing. God… they’ve known each other since they were five, grew up in smalltown conservative Indiana, and have been friends this whole damn time. It’s like a fucking queer coming of age story. We have to help them get together.”

Or:

It's the beginning of a new school year, and Dustin Henderson has a new mission:

To get his coworkers, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers, to fall in love with each other.

okay, interrupting my regularly programmed gut-wrenching angst to bring you this stupid little au fic that i thought about today. idk why i’ve been feeling modern aus recently, but this was so fun and silly and just an overall enjoyable thing to write!

also, i rarely write in dustin pov??? so yeah that was a little bit hard, but you all know i love my outsider pov fics! happy readingggg

#byler #byler fanfic #outsider pov fics you'll always be famous #the party working at a middle school? #hell yeah #english teacher mike and art teacher will always wins

#oh yeah i did my first poetry slam too #and the gay english teacher that i don't have but everyone loves told me he wanted a copy of my poem #and i almost made my partner cry w/ my poem when they read it #so. the quality stays winning! trans guilt is apparently an excellent thing to angst over in poetry #ask #bookwyrminspiration

Why does the early season have the best quotes? Like the delivery was just so good! The chemistry!

I did one time matched that energy and delivery on accident. A solicitor came to my (dead) grandfather's house and asked for the homeowner and my sister and I looked him dead in the eye and said "he's dead"

My sister and I are redheads and look like twins.

He never came back to that house.

GSJDKHFSK i had multiple experiences like this with teachers after my friend died DAYS before i started highschool- very funny quotes to me but absolutely NOT funny to them . (tw for mentioning uh . Child Death . these are funny i promise)

(at parent-teacher interview barbecue, second week of grade nine. i am infodumping to my science teacher about gene therapy research because he asked me about my topic for an assignment. he mentions something about gene therapy medications for cystic fibrosis.)

me: oh! my friend did that!

grade 9 science teacher: oh! where is she going now? (referring to schools)

me: uh . an urn . :-)

---

(second day of my cycle 2 classes [first friday of the school year], second period english. i walk in late.)

grade 9 english teacher, in front of the whole class: and why did you miss the first day of class?

me: oh, i had personal reasons

teacher, who is a VINDICATIVE BITCH: and what were those reasons?

me, trying not to Scream: they . were personal :-)

teacher, still in front of the ENTIRE CLASS: and was it really worth missing the first day of class for?

me, a spiteful bitch who loves to make things awkward: if you need to know, i was actually at my best friends funeral :-) i have pictures if you want proof!

she raised her eyebrows and went SILENT for a good 15 seconds before completely moving on :-) i do not feel bad at all it was hilarious

#that english teacher hated me for the rest of the year #she got fired last year for failing diversity training AGAIN . hashtag diversity win (she purposely paired me with homophobic kids ??) #the science teacher however . GOD i feel bad he was the nicest ever . literally the teacher who made me like science . #im so sorry mr webb thank you for letting me nap in your first period class </3 #(i pissed off MULTIPLE teachers that year grieving soleil was a menace but . those were the funniest ones)

[hamstringy]

priory of the orange tree: ...and so like everyone has pieces of the story but they’re all different because of the narratives they each know

me, tearing my hair out and rocking back and forth: they’re all different because of the narratives they each know

#win for english teachers everywhere #potot

[femmesandhoney]

why does every tra “insult” give the same energy as that middle school level “oh you called me a bitch, well a bitch is a dog and dogs back and bark is on trees and trees are in nature and nature is beautiful so thanks for the compliment”. all of it’s getting old but somehow i still laugh when they do that cringey role play thing like *pisses an unhealthy pee color all over you* ma’am you do realize this is tumblr dot com right lmao

it really does give off middle schooler energy and im like pretty positive those types haven't mentally grown since then so yeah adds up

#its honestly just embarrassing as hell cause they say that shit and then block u as if thats a 'win' anyway wants to 'win' with lmao #but as a person who did a lot of structured debates in high school cause our english teacher loved them it reeks of inability to argue and #handle any amount of disagreement with others #like obviously this is tumblr and not a structured debate but i still think its embarrassing that these adults and teens cant properly #disengage w arguments in a mature way it just gives so much 2nd hand embarrassment

[lady-of-snails]

EXTRA happy pride month because i today i confirmed that my fav english teacher is queer

#gay people win!!! canon gay english teacher irl!!! #shes the best and now shes even better #no wonder shes always willing to hang around my table in class #(my table full of gay people)

[olliecoded]

the ONE TIME i like really truly needed academic validation to keep myself from feeling like a complete and utter failure and i wasn't even there when it was given to me

#hello world #i know i failed my math exam this morning and its just so frustrating bcs ive been trying to understand that class all year and i HATE not #getting things and that class makes me feel so stupid bcs im not stem-inclined at ALL and thats prioritized so heavily above the humanities #and ive struggled through precalc and calc for two years now and i still just dont get it. it doesnt make sense to me #so the gifted kid burnout has been HIGH lately and i just feel so awful and so stupid and i wanted to cry after my exam this morning bcs #idk why i cant just understand these things!! i dont get it!!! ive worked so hard and it just never fucking clicks!!! #and there was an awards ceremony at my school tonight which i didnt go to bcs i was convinced i wouldnt win anything and then i won the #english award AND the foreign language award for my grade. and apparently my teachers gave speeches b4 calling my name and i just wasnt #fucking there and i NEEDED that i needed it so bad. a speech about my academic worth in terms of the humanities instead of stem would have #made me feel so valued. and now ive been crying for like an hour bcs im so pissed at myself for not fucking going #anyway. ap lang exam tmr so i have to get some sleep. gn guys <3 #vent in tags #vent post

Congrats on the getting your mom to leave your dad! I share the same kind of lore and it always warms my heart

I’m very glad about it yeah! he SUCKED as a father n even though I was pretty much grown up by the time they actually split it’s been a big help for my little sister not having to fight with him all the time anymore

#I fear my mom did NOT get together with my fifth grade english teacher but hey. a win anyways #marking mature on the off chance said father googles my name again🙄 I don’t put my last name here but still

so back when i was teaching, one of the things i learned to look for were the "mood makers", as i liked to call them, of the classes. there were always 2 or 3 per class, and it was easy to find them in the first few days. you got those kids on your side, and it was a ripple effect with the rest of the students - they would all follow. so winning those kids over was huge when it came to how the year would play out. and from time to time, whenever the class was sort of faltering - middle of winter, of a big project, burn-out high - i would lean back in on those mood makers again to turn things around.

one particular class, when we had a big multi-month group project happening, were just... really struggling with getting their shit together lol. they were supposed to be practicing their presentations (english speaking class) and they were doing pretty much anything but, and their presentations were supposed to start the next class day. they were also PANICKING as i started giving out some feedback - which was NOT GREAT - as they were running through the lines they were supposed to be remembering. after realizing all of them needed so much extra work, i decided we needed to have a turn-around, so i invited one of the mood makers up to the front. i held out a cup to him, with two papers inside.

"one of them," i said, "says tuesday, and if you draw that, presentations go as planned. but one of them says thursday, and if you choose that one, everyone gets extra time to practice."

everyone was like OH SHIT. OKAY. THIS IS IT. and this mood maker, he was a big personality (they usually are) so i knew he'd really ham this up, and he did. we made a huge deal, with drum-rolls and everything, of him picking one out of the cup. he opened it up the paper and announced THURSDAY to a round of huge cheers. he was the class hero. everyone had TONS of motivation to work super hard on this gifted extra day, and really put the time in. their presentations were great. morale SOARED.

the plot twist was that both papers said thursday, because they all needed the extra time. my forever teacher advice: find creative ways to make things happen so that you get the buy-in from the class.

#this memory came up in my facebook #and i was like OH THAT CLASS #i remember this hahaha

interacting with my mom when shes drunk is like being stabbed to death with a paperclip

#not even. i think its worse #victim of the self harm to weird masochism tendency pipeline here. its like being stabbed with a paperclip once #and then no other stimulation for the next 5 hours #anyway she keeps making EVERY FUCKING THING about how its so hard to be white in todays society #ok girl :) ill make sure yr nursing home doesnt have any brown pwople in it good to know #today we were at a shopping center in the middle of the day because me and mj were checked out from school for something #lets play a fun guessing game. did my mom a) get food and drive out like a normal human being #b) get pissed off because they didnt get her order right. or c) bitch about how theres too many nonwhite people shopping during the day #if you guessed c after asking yrself 'wait what the fuck lmfao' congratulations! you win a fraction of the pain im feeling #'they dont have jobs 😡😡' ok! religiously i cant tell you to kill yrself but i think you should take some time away from society #i was filling out a form to try to get hired at this place soon #i started counting how many times she was mad that it was hard for me and soooo easy for illegal immigrants. it was 5 btw #'this must be wjy i go to any place in the 3 towns near us and no one speaks english 😡😡' #< poor baby had a spanish speaking cashier at wingstop a week ago ☹️🥱 #ALSO ITS FUCKING TEXAS.
