To be fair the shittiness of Man of Steel transcends age and culture.
Quote from: Chinguetti on May 19, 2016, 02:17:44 pmThe funny thing is that I used to let my kids pick movies from a collection, and the majority would almost always pick movies like "Avengers" or "Man of Steel"... but then, like, over half the class would get bored and stop paying attention.So I started forcing them to watch animated films like "Big Hero 6" and "The Croods", and they're all just so captivated, even when they moan and groan about it at first. These are middle school boys, 2nd and 3rd grade.To be fair the shittiness of Man of Steel transcends age and culture.

My printer nearly caught fire a few weeks ago, toxic smoke was coming out of it. It only took 3 weeks to get a new one and the best bit was the tech teacher making "Yeee- YAh- whooo" noises as she carried the empty box off after getting it all set up. Reminded me of some 90's video game character noises.
My students are all great! Even the hard to teach ones teach me something about myself and about teaching.

The thing I learned about myself during that ordeal is that I'm not above laughing hysterically at the shit my students get up to.Kids. They make it all worth it.
Found rooibos tea. *BLISS*
Was at my first "company" dinner with all of my coworkers and they complimented me on my chopstick skills. They said it was unusual to see a foreigner who is good at chopsticks. Now, I don't claim to be proud or even quick but I can survive and not have to ask for a fork when I go out to eat. But I'm still happy I managed to impress my coworkers.

It's like they don't think we research their culture before deciding to move our lives here.
