Ive tried to teach my students (High School) how to read an analog clock. Keep in mind, I dont have time to teach a whole class on it, just a little lesson on how now and then when they ask what time it is. They can read it for the class, but the next day theyve forgotten how completely.

Its not because theyre stupid or lazy. Its because they rarely get practice with it. We know how to read an analog clock because, yes we were taught it in school, but they were everywhere so we essentially had practice with it all the time. These kids see digital clocks 99% of the time. So when do they ever apply their knowledge?

The only students who can read the clock are the handful who have analog watches for fashion reasons because they use it all the time.

Its a matter of practice but in truth these kids dont really have to read an analog clock in the modern world.

Yeah but you cant shove it up your ass.

Well water cannot be beat.

Same. Its the best. Though make sure you get enough minerals in your diet.

Ok so I traveled back in time to test this. Inconvinced the cartoonist to change the strip to this and guess what? We beat climate change and world hunger.

This is a solid copypasta btw.

We’ll halfass the fascist thing here in Canada and go fascist lite. Its what we do.

Its whatever best year you remember. From my perspective, its been sharply downhill since 2000.

Those older than me often say it went to shit during the Reagan years. Its been slowly getting worse for a long time.

Sorry for your loss.

Its not bubble tea unless it has Serb spit in it.

Why does the screenshot look like its from the 80s?

Some of my students do this. I have so many tiny useless trinkets but Id feel too bad getting rid of them. Even though I hate accumulating stuff.

None of this entitles them to a discount.

Other things have value for me. Its just that nothing in my life is more valuable to me than my child.

AI strikes again.

Their son.

Yeah this is largely a US problem. Not that some of this doesnt happen in other countries but at least in my part of Canada most of the recycling is sold to in-province companies. A few get exported to the states. A very small amount goes to Europe or Asia.

United Ireland when?

Hehe

Now thats a good shitpost comment. You get it.
