You ungrateful assholes.
Dude, “their”, at least.
Seeing people commenting a put ‘their’ and thought they were correct ‘the’. it’s their own personal teacher, not The Great Teacher of Legend, Whom We All Share
I don’t know a kid alive in my grade who wasn’t hyped for the pizza party
Teachers are “its” now, eh?
No " it is"
Shoulda spent that pizza money on some grammar lessons
Should spent pizza money grammar some lessons
No way major pizza chains could afford free pizza party once a year.
Dominos and little Caesars squeaked by with $5B in revenue last year.
so now we’re shaming children/adolescents for not being hip to all the dynamics of american capitalism?
this isn’t even funny as a meme. teachers are trying to educate kids even if they’re bad at it. what are you doing? reposting lame internet wisecracks?
“it’s”
Well…
I know right, it’s “its”.
Not only do they refer to the teacher as an it, they didn’t even pay attention to the rules about apostrophes.
I don’t think that’s what they meant when they were asking for more inclusive speech XD
*I make that mistake too, English is my 2nd language
Not to be ungrateful, Mrs Applegate, but Hot n Readys are like $8, do we need to help you organize a strike?
look up the salaries of teachers in your district. they are publicly available as public employee salaries are publicly posted somewhere on the government website. see how they could probably earn more doing anything else? yeah.
My 6th grade teacher paid to take the entire class to Knotts Berry Farm before we ‘graduated’ from elementary school. The school only paid for the bus and gas afaik.
My point there not being that most teachers should do more, just that my 6th grade teacher was cool as fuck and extremely selfless
Sorry, I didn’t know about capitalism when I was 9
That’s your parents’ fault.
I mean yeah, my parents are not even remotely anti-capitalist lol
Can’t expect kids to understand something like. Also I doubt those teachers expect that kind of empathy and compassion from people with incomplete brains.
So, you do expect it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like shit. My high schoolers said all kinds of horrific nasty shit about me because I was clearly gay, including graphic and specific discussions about my supposed inability to pleasure a woman, which was stupid - but in any other context that would be considered a hostile workplace environment and wouldn’t be tolerated.
Now I mostly work with younger kids, and they do not have a filter. They say things that hurt. When they say those things, I can certainly acknowledge that they don’t have the level of empathy and compassion that an adult has, but that doesn’t mean it feels good.
Teaching and working with kids leads to emotional burnout. You can only handle those sorts of comments so much before it starts to fuck with you, especially if you lack a support system elsewhere.
We shouldn’t expect teachers to be Jesus. At least not when the pay is so shit that most have to have a second job (which also does not help on the burnout end).
Children are quite ignorant.
I’m not ignorant, my parents are married
I don’t know why this made me laugh out loud, but it did.
gruelling job with little praise
And that’s even before they have to deal with parents who think their little precious child acting like an out of control chimp with rabbies in a classroom is absolutelly normal.
their own money
There own money
Our own money, comrade
Did I do that right?
Maybe OP is a CEO and doesn’t consider wage slaves people
It is own money
The apostrophe-s construction “it’s” suffices for both the contractive form “it is” as well as the possessive form of “it”. “Its” exists solely to satisfy the craven pedantry of elementary school English teachers. Nothing of value is lost by abandoning this archaic construction.
“Its” is deprecated.
Downvote all you like; pedant tears are full of electrolytes.
“Its” is deprecated.
Looks like your brain is deprecated.
Is they’re and their deprecated too?
If the goal is to simplify, shouldn’t it be “its” in all cases?
You know, i wasn’t going to, but I could really use some electrolytes. Thanks :)
tbh the distinction isn’t necessary in casual writing (although it’s still considered respectful to use it in formal writing)
the only people who think that the distinction isn’t necessary are morons who can’t spell.
if it’s understandable it honestly doesn’t really matter
english spelling is a fuckin mess anyways

… because we learned from them?

Wat
Wut? He’s pointing out that teachers dipped into their own money to give kids things like this. America’s education system is absolute dog shit, and it’s intentional. Look who the dumbasses voted for cause “'bortions and mah guns” and no more black presidents, especially a woman. Fuck all of them pdeophiles.
Wat
“It’s” is not even the right its.
She’s trying so hard for you and this is the best you’ve got!?
If this is a serious post, why shitpost?
This meme is soooooooooo old. I remember commenting about how “it’s” is really stupid and should be “their” instead. Maybe it was even back on reddit, which would mean this is a repost of a 3+ yo meme. I know this is true for a lot of memes but its insane that i remember this specific one.
Imagine all the valuable things you could’ve remembered instead.
There’s only so much space the “names of all steam engine trains in Britain in the 19th century” can occupy in one’s brain, so there’s plenty of room for old memes.
tbh… 3y is not something i would call old in this context ;)
Three years?? Bro I wasn’t even born back then
“it’s” is funny AF
