shen qingqiu being somewhat disgusted by the fact that’s he’s in a student/teacher relationship is objectively hilarious because he’s tricked everyone including himself into believing that he’s actually a qualified cultivation instructor and not some millennial with too much unrestricted internet access, and because everyone else around him is more concerned with the fact that he married the guy who inadvertently killed him like twice

what you’ve got to understand about working conditions in education (and also other care-oriented careers) is that if they’re shit, two things are true at once:
that does not ever excuse being cruel to a kid, no matter what
until those conditions are fixed, education will continue to suck absolute shit
this is because when working conditions for teachers are really bad, many of the good teachers who recognize when they are reaching a point where they can no longer be the sort of teacher the kids deserve due to burnout WILL quit. they will do the responsible thing and go away for their own sake and the sake of the kids. and you end up stuck w a combination of new teachers who are trying their best but won’t last long, burnt out teachers who are trying their best but have nothing left to give and therefore aren’t very effective at actually teaching, and cockroach shitheads who take out their misery on the kids.
we have all had terrible experiences with bad teachers, many of them flat out traumatic, but for fuck’s sake please try to look at the systemic underpinnings of the problem for one minute. spitefully declaring that teachers don’t deserve good working conditions or even the right to complain about bad working conditions because ms. whoever in 5th grade was a bitch is only going to create more of her. if you want good teachers then we need an education system they can survive in

Damn, sorry that Wei Wuxian has emotions and was feeling pressure when the entire cultivation world was turning him into the villain of a lifetime. As if that's a bad thing

I thought my housemates were pretty nice until one of them told me that what I’m studying in Uni which is teaching (he knows because we always introduce ourselves by asking where we’re from and what we’re doing etc) is useless unless I plan to become a mother and have children…. And I told him that I don’t want to have children and become a mother and he was like “but that’s your priority as a woman” and I’m so appalled that I had to explain to him that teacher ≠ mother and that I have my right and my own choice to decide then this mf said “then you’re not a woman, you’re a man” as if I was offended by that…. like be fucking for real, come up with a sensible explanation then

You know, as much as I love Wan and as much as I recognise how non-canonical it is, I gotta say....they were so wrong for making Dazai, Yosano, and Kouyou the preschool teachers. All three of them are unhinged and traumatised and two of them canonically. taught children and scarred them horribly.
The only two qualified to even be associated with teacher-hood are Fukuzawa and Hirotsu, you cannot change my mind.

i do think it's a little funny that working actor kieran culkin has clearly been told by his team that if he wants an Emmy campaign he can't just talk about learning his lines, improving, watching cartoons with sarah snook between takes, and showing up to work. he's clearly been told he has to play to the method acting adjacent narrative (because that's the technique these award campaigns get results from), even though he's not a method actor. so now in all these interviews, he's talking way more about the emotional toll/labour of his performance, instead of the practical or social elements. not saying he's being disingenuous because i am sure season 4 did require more emotional performances. but this is why I really can't stand the elevation of method acting in cultural discussions of performance because it basically forces actors to be really myopic when discussing their work for it to be taken seriously. if I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: method acting has always been a more successful marketing technique than it has EVER been an acting technique.

in news from grad life, my supervisor asked me about phd plans today and upon hearing i want to take a few years to do various non-academic things before i start one, immediately produced an application form for a scholarship to study abroad in iceland for a year? like this was not remotely on the radar of what i was planning for next year but tbf i hadn't actually planned that much, and i was initially looking at a master's programme in iceland before i settled on the one i've actually ended up on, so... why not! could be living in iceland this time next year! sometimes niche, half-buried teenage dreams do come true!
