Time to fire the teacher.

I am more confused about the necessity of this assignment for an 11y.o. What purpose does grading someone's hopes and dreams is? This seems like a pointless display of authority by the teacher from the start.

They do know that these students actually have these body parts are already intimately familiar with them?

Protect the unborn so we can get them later"

Okay, that's flat out corruption. The teacher needs exposing in public, and then sacking.

What's not to love about the American school system? It amazes me that we still have college graduates who can read, write, theorize, and win Pulitzer prizes.

That would be a no from me, mate.

That's so stupid! The teacher apparently doesn't want to teach the kids chemistry but to follow blindly instructions without thinking. That is in fact the opposite of teaching.

Eat an apple. Kill a turtle. Keep things balanced.

Well now. If that's the barrier which stops the *boys* going for a pee in the proper hygenic manner, it seems to me that there's a straightforward solution... I mean, if you gotta go, you gotta go, and those horizontal bars won't stop a stream of fluid passing by.

hope you got em infected

Can anyone explain this sort of nonsense to me? What sort of society thinks it makes sense to limit when children are allowed to attend to natural bodily functions?

Just about excusable if there were explicit instructions not to use staples but instead use a tag (what they called "treasury tags" in my youth). Otherwise, the teacher needs reprimanding.

That looks utterly revolting 🤢

This is when your essay immediately becomes a future TED talk about how censorship and limitations on circulation of information hamper academical research.

well, the pedantic teachers have taught the kids well - peanuts aren't 'nuts'.

Yes, pls, thanx.

You see this quite a bit with fields of study that are either new, or prone to regular changes. In both cases, they don't want you reselling the books, because in both cases, there's no guarantee that each year's textbook is going to be the same. Saw that happen with my environmental engineering textbook when I was going for my degree. Hell, halfway through the semester, our professor had to have us completely ignore two whole chapters of the text book because the standards that were presented there, had changed, and those processes could no longer be used.

I can understand because this was probably happened right when everything got shut down and the demand suddenly skyrocketed

looks like soemone scammed that school

In grade school one teacher would make us do this with words we weren't supposed to say. Which once lead to me writing ORGY hundreds of times. I'm not sure she really thought that through enough. :)

You've got to start them early on the 'buy this and get this free'. They don't want anyone figuring out what a c**p show that is.

Ah yes, Greenland, the island of green meadows.

my school does this garbage , too. Admin and staff received 6% raise/teachers nothing (for last 3 years); at Christmas teachers receive a card for a $50 for ham (sorry if you're Jewish or Vegan...just give your card to someone else we would value!)

My high school's art class was like this after they cut the art department's budget. There used to be multiple art classes (drawing, crafts, photography, painting), but my senior year they just offered one ("Art"). No art supplies beyond some cheap paper and a box of broken coloured pencils, and not enough desks or chairs, so a good chunk of the students sat on the counters, tables, on desks, and on the windowsills. Our teacher (Goldie, she was a saint) had a nervous breakdown like 2 months into the school year and they never hired a replacement art teacher, just used subs for the rest of the year. The school did still have 10 working 35mm cameras--Goldie doled them out to the few of us who were actually interested in art and told us to never return them, she would just tell the school they were lost or stolen. I still have that camera.

They should play Musical Chairs every 15 minutes.That way students can earn physical education credits, too.

This is so sad :(

I would get a refund

Given the color of the tiles around the registers, I would be willing to bet that the decision happened around the time the school was constructed. Likely in the 1980's, when those tiles were seen as a viable and cheap ceiling choice, when compared with other options. At the time, they likely never considered hoodlums would be more interested in getting basketballs stuck in the ceiling.

I mean - as long as he checked if everything is correct, it should be okay for a teacher to use chatgpt for such things.

Wow! Bigger gaps than normal! Ffs, the American system is off their nuts! Can't even hide in here if there's an active shooter! F******g disgraceful!

Context is important. Bag checks don't just look at a clear bag. Students must also pass through a metal detector, and around a d**g detection dog. That's because while the backpack may be clear, their clothing is not.
