Well I tried, and my CT told me that it was too hard for them (I'm literally teaching animal kingdom vocabulary like mammals, reptiles, etc.). Nonsense. I taught a whole series of lessons on that same topic, and it was just fine. Sure, there were some kids for whom it was too difficult, but they were the same kids who managed to make it to middle school 3rd grade without learning how to count past ten or answer "how's the weather."yeah, i'm not sure how this happens.english classes several times a week, for years upon years, and they can't even answer, "what's your name?"When the emphasis is on the answer and not the process, the teacher, in order to speed things along, will tell the slower students the answers. Certain students realise they can do nothing and be spoon fed. The teacher sees a low student score as a black mark against her name, rather than a sign that the student has a weakness. Teachers coaches the student in order to make her class look batter than it is. Rinse and repeat for 10 years and then when they hit a uni class where the teacher will gladly fail them, they can't understand why they fail.

At least I was actually trying to teach them something new. That's what teachers do, right?

Oh but I bet you it wouldn't be if these scoundrels actually payed attention.She told me I should give them something on the elementary level instead. This is all so counter-productive! And now I gotta come up with another lesson for this week.
My massive hypersensitivity to caffeine. Some days (mornings) I can drink 1/4 of a cup and be bouncing off the walls till 5. Other days, I can pound the iced pouch-o-coffee after 2 PM, and sleep like a baby later that night. It's either I'm fidgety from it, or it has zero effect.
I used this same lesson at my lower level school just now, and it went just fine. My CT said it was good, even with some terms being a little difficult.Now, I'm going to use a lower level lesson when I go back, and if one student says "Teacher, easy!" I'm gonna look at my other CT like

Other days, I can pound the iced pouch-o-coffee after 2 PM, and sleep like a baby later that night. It's either I'm fidgety from it, or it has zero effect. Same. It's the main reason why I have to water my coffees down. There's no such thing as a full cup of coffee in my world unless it's a blended drink. My go-to medium for that is cocoa, so my cup of "coffee" is basically 25% coffee and 75% cocoa and milk. If I drink too much caffeine (which is really easy for me to do), I'm no use to anyone because I'm 200% energy and 0% cognitive abilities. And I'll be up all night. If I drink more caffeine before I realize I'm in this state, I'll end up with inflammation in my chest that won't go away for a couple of days.

I'm gonna look at my other CT like I'm already there. Samuel L. Jackson is basically my spirit animal at this point. It really does come down to the attitudes of both the students and teachers. The kind of environment these kids learn in makes a difference.
JV gets a pass (I think) but remember black emojis are in fact digital blackface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyq6fTYxztcGood to see licence payers' money going to useful causes. (trigger warning, youtube contains historical blackface scenes which might traumatise you)
I do. Not sure how I feel about that video though. I think it depends on the context that emojis are used in. In this situation, I don't think it would be bad if a white person used that Sam Jackson gif.

That blackface emoji video is literally the end of humanity. Might as well all nuke the entire planet. Woman in video "So that's my view what do you think?" Youtube comments for this video are disabled. Just end it. We've gone past the point of no return.
