Haven’t we all had at least one exceptionally shitty teacher though?
I’ve been in the room when Mr fucking Stephens told a kid that he’d never be an artist and to pay attention. Is little Jake an artist today? No, he’s a welder, he has 4 kids, and he still loves to draw. Granted Jake never thought art was an option but I’m not sure 7th grade biology is coming up in his daily life either.
I’ve had horrible teachers, but mostly because they were abusive, and terrible at teaching. Even those horrible teachers never told me I wouldn’t amount to anything without appending the statement with “if you don’t apply yourself”.
Things would probably be different if teachers made more money or if the requirements were higher. For most people who become teachers, it definitely was not their intended career progression. Just something they landed on.
Yeah some teachers are legitimately awful. I had one in fourth grade that was extremely disrespectful to her students, screaming at them and publicly humiliating ones that did poorly on tests or had trouble reading to the class. Acted the polar opposite when other faculty were in the room doing observation reviews.
I had this teacher who was openly cruel to me in front of my classmates. She didn’t even try to hide her disdain. Many years later my father told me she had a talk with him and told him: “I’d love to fail him but I can’t because he keeps scoring 10 in every exam.” So that was the reason, I never did my homework, I was always distracting my classmates but I always passed exams with a 10.
I had a real cunt of a math teacher in 6th grade, he taught his subject matter well but was just a bastard of a human being; I no longer have several mementos of my life (was an air force brat) because he confiscated them, and would be pedantic about how you asked to get things back (may i vs can i BS); eventually he would just dispose of things.
A meme or common trope about rappers is they say that their teachers told them they would amount to nothing.
This person says some of them are lying to act like a victim, and what actually happened is the teacher made them read aloud to the class which they may not have been good at, and it made them angry so they made up the story I mentioned previously.
What?
“Rappers are lying when they say that teachers told them they wouldn’t amount to anything. They just told you to read aloud, and you got mad.”
