He said the class had two teachers, one who had a calm class on her two days, and the other had chaos on her three days. He told me the secret was to send kids to the office the moment they argued and it would be an example for the rest. I sent eight boys and one girl, no difference. <br/>It is against teachers&#39; professional conduct to criticize each other so he shouldn&#39;t have said that to me. <br/>He never checked on me again.<br/>I don&#39;t know what happens at the office but he told me to send them and so I did. 2026-10-16T23:06:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst8ehfjl2g6gka9zz7tdac5eycs8pv9xcpmvkn3hykgl7ww23ndxqzyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6zsguv2 I hope you&#39;re not tired of teaching content because I&#39;ve just had the worse day of subbing ever.<br/>I work for two towns, one working class and one a little richer.<br/>The richer town seems to have more entitled children; most of the rough days are there.

Great, sounds interesting.

Deliberately designed to be as analog as possible- books, notes, handdrawn art, cardboard boxes, and only one day of internet research.<br/><br/>These are the kids who were in Kindergarten during Covid.<br/>I can&#39;t emphasize how unequipped they are to meet grade 4 level expectations.<br/>5 kids couldn&#39;t even attempt a multi-step project independently and handed in nothing. Another 7 could glue things into their shoebox diorama but couldn&#39;t write a sentence about the object.<br/>Four projects looked great but are copied from AI. Two or three are close, a little rough but an honest attempt.

Their regular teacher is pulling random names and asking those kids to name the 4 operations in math (add, subtract, multiply, division). Some are confident, some struggle. Teacher decides to ask every single kid. Even though they all heard the answers over and over again, about one third of the class did not have the working memory to list the four operations.<br/><br/>(My sense is that they did know the four operations and would recognize them in a math question. The problem was organizing the information into a list - most students said three and then named one a second time because they had already forgotten what they&#39;d said.) 2025-11-28T05:14:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq4l9yqldesh7848apwxrj3zskwg4z5fsu6w9k2pwjx6jg3zkk0tgzyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d64pqtnn Met a seven year old boy today who kept calling a classmate his girlfriend, talked about kissing girls, repeatedly said &#39;my nuts are big&#39;, made rude gestures with his pelvis, all part of a general stream of potty talk and bouncing off the walls. 40 minutes straight.

As the children sat down, a boy complained that the other kids called him gay. The school librarian took the &#39;learning opportunity&#39; to talk about why being gay is okay. <br/>She asked the kids what gay means. &#34;It means being attracted to your own gender.&#34;<br/>&#34;Yes. Sometimes we are attracted to people of the same gender as us, sometimes people of a different gender. Sometimes we are born in one kind of body but we feel like another gender inside. It&#39;s just nature.&#34;<br/><br/>After hearing some boys share experiences of being called gay and not liking it, Librarian also gave the example of calling someone the wrong name being annoying. So being called gay when you&#39;re not is a violation of your identity and it&#39;s ok to be mad but it&#39;s also totally ok to be gay and you should stand up for gay people.<br/><br/>Then the same boy said &#34;And they called me a girl&#39;s name!&#34;<br/>The librarian said &#34;I&#39;ll speak to you two privately.&#34;<br/><br/>And that&#39;s the conversation we&#39;re not having-- misogyny and stupid standards of masculinity, already firmly entrenched in boys by age 9. 2025-10-22T21:28:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswrmwcm4a4medqea8y352r9hf7a22dgg2vx5ynz0jqnl0pjyj00hszyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d600wy0r Trying to sell stuff on facebook and I hope the responses are not representative of the average IQ.<br/>Lots of messages asking me questions that are answered in the ad, which is only 37 words long.<br/><br/>But my new fav is a question I got about a sewing box I have for sale: &#34;Does the lid open?&#34; 2025-10-21T20:04:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8cvqrhqfztjz7a8m84u09l8rsd0p729840th9k73r5m78srzhz0szyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6wfy72t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw9q8xvlw8en84yenpahuuzle4h0mfpzaf0se7amymunucfsalewq7w8rdg'>nevent1q…8rdg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I guess it should be terfs&#39; 2025-10-19T13:34:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw9q8xvlw8en84yenpahuuzle4h0mfpzaf0se7amymunucfsalewqzyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6d7ek64 Good morning, all you black-hearted terfs.<br/><br/>I am unrepentent in my belief that sex is immutable* and apostrophes don&#39;t belong in plural nouns**.<br/><br/>*in mammals<br/>**except in special cases.<br/> <img src="https://media.spinster.xyz/aad7a115b7486797541ab87497d47ec9e689ff83959d2c732c272a233ba22199.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-19T13:29:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstasaz5muv95pmnpqumt3tcrnkv93nn6rt589mlvzzk8pxmwlc8lqzyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6l9evh5 Garbage being fed to children part 2<br/> <img src="https://media.spinster.xyz/2e1068520c299afd59649c044b9d7b92eb0b130dfb8881fc8b5a2ec47773ae2b.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-17T22:51:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs02wx4e24ksyvglk9zl373rghaxvq7usct5ew2syn2xd8juqf3g9czyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6enqh9m I&#39;m a substitute teacher again; it&#39;s been a few years since I subbed.<br/>They&#39;re always telling teachers to &#39;form relationships&#39; with students if there are behaviour problems, but as a sub, I have to go a bit more carrot and stick because I only get one day with them.<br/>One thing I haven&#39;t figured out how to manage is when a group of boys decide to work together to misbehave. I call it a &#39;Biggest Idiot Contest&#39;. <br/>One boy makes a comment and his friends all echo it. <br/>One boy makes a noise with his mouth and suddenly six boys are making farting sounds.<br/>If you call out one boy publicly, his loyal friends only act out more in his defense. The boys are having a great time derailing the lesson and gaining status in the eyes of their friends. I try to stay calm but the behaviour is so rude and disruptive it&#39;s hard to not show frustration. It&#39;s a judgement call as a sub as to when to call for backup. Often I just leave a note for the regular teacher and hope that there are consequences the next day.<br/>Every day I say to myself that the dumbest sex somehow got control of the world. 10 year old boys still being raised to think they&#39;re the centre of the fucking universe and don&#39;t have to listen to adult women.<br/><br/>*the incident that prompted this post happened last week.

That whole classroom has basically lost half a year of learning because he is running the show. <br/>Boys hold boys back.<br/>If there are boys doing well in school, they often get bullied by other boys.<br/>If men think school is too feminine, there is nothing stopping them from becoming teachers. 2024-12-22T17:42:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx83f8wegzqyg5srh45xh9wjq2ur4g3zcd29t6eer93y50j8lg5eqzyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6xket67 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy9fg0v8qzyqzp7azh2r27m7xllsp0xrjdgzmzvjndf7lk62ef7nsfjj2az'>nevent1q…j2az</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I researched why there aren&#39;t many female geniuses. It&#39;s something about how men can be really successful passing on genes or not at all, while women generally have a more consistent number of surviving offspring each. Somehow that means that women have less of a spread in intelligence, we&#39;re all around average, while men are more to the extremes of really high and really low. 2024-12-22T17:31:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy9fg0v8qzyqzp7azh2r27m7xllsp0xrjdgzmzvjndf7lk62ef7nszyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d67whu85 Just saw an Instagram reel that of course I&#39;ve lost the link to.<br/>We hear the voice of a Russian (?) male PE teacher barking out orders to march: left! right! left! right!<br/>On screen, a group of boys around 8 years old march in place.

I&#39;m in the &#39;fast lane&#39; and I am doing 20km over the speed limit. The lane to my right is quite crowded, and to my left there is a carpool lane which is empty. <br/>Big red truck comes up right behind me, way too close to be safe, but I keep my speed stable. He flashes his lights. I keep my speed stable. I know what he wants but I&#39;m already speeding and I can&#39;t easily change into the slower lane.<br/>Finally he pulls into the empty carpool lane, honking and fingering me, and then cuts back in front of me.<br/><br/>I&#39;m still shaken by this. If he doesn&#39;t care about the speeding laws, why not break ALL the laws and go in the carpool lane without the show of aggression? There would have been no consequences for him. But bigger question about men who really believe they should be able to do whatever they want and women who block them in any way should be punished. How many men think like this and how are they getting this idea? Like speed limits are somehow women&#39;s fault? 2024-09-17T23:50:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspf5knx5y83w7ldq4ew4ghgs9sh50r22yns003ufexk8t8ay5twlczyq323g9rpge8n0flggn3a5jjhnsahf9sl0etx4zvka4fz2kzrm4d6lwrv5j ARRRRRRRGH THIS FUCKING CULT<br/>My progressive friend just told me her 9 year old daughter thinks she&#39;s trans.
