Never give up on your ionic bonds. That's wisdom.
That is a covalent bond my dude

Never give up (?)
Covalent bonds are far superior

The only thing unrealistic about this is that she got fired.
In real life, they’d never fire you for something that small, only real offenses like swearing or not reporting a student who makes a finger gun.
PlazTM K-12 schools are run by local districts, entirely funded by taxpayer dollars. So there’s no “corporate greed” possible in them, only greedy teachers unions who feel teachers deserve any benefits they desire so as long as they have worked, perhaps even in a mediocre fashion, for many years.
It is the Onion after all
@Sagarmatha its not unions per se its unions in public institutions. a union is in a private sector is bound by the rules of the market. if the employer cant pay more and still be competetive then he cant do it. you cant draw blood from a rock. unless its a public institution of course then you can at the taxpayers expense. unions cooperate with employers just fine here in germany and public servants arent allowed to strike.
@PlazTM Lmao, if the US was run by unions alone it'd quickly regress into the early Soviet Union, with zero productivity because workers would just give themselves unsustainable pay rises and stupidly long breaks.
@PlazTM
Dude, the way you describe it makes me almost believe that all my teachers were great.
If we exclude the apathy, the laziness, the bullying, the emotional abuse and the discrimination.
Out of perhaps 20 teachers I had, only 1 was really great. 3 were good. 2 were okay and the rest was cancerous trash
It's funny how she totally nailed the mannerisms of these incompetent and mild-mannered teachers you very often encounter.
Totally agreed. The Onion has truly amazing casting when it comes to its videos, very rarely do their actors come off as anything less than genuine.
SerbAthiest eh? Does that mean you don’t want to exterminate and genocide others anymore because of their religion? Or does it mean you still do it, but without fearing hell?

James Buzzella My english teacher would always bring in the tv and let us watch a movie unrelated to the subject we were supposed to be learning, even when there was a test coming up.
Also a great literature teacher.
So sad to see her go... she was really in her element in that job. Had such chemistry with the students, such strong bonds. This wasn't the solution - I wonder if she was unionized.
😂
That is one heck of a reaction.
Probably was a very polarizing experience for her
i see what you did there lol
I can't tell if you meant union-ized or un-ionized lol.
I don't think that vectors and photosynthesis are a part of chemistry curriculum...
That's why she NEEDED to go. You see, it's always the teachers fault for their students being stupid.
Mike Swain I was just emphasising on that point.
Gothicfan51 Did I by any chance have a debate with you on a Drunken Peasants video like a month ago? haha. If so, fancy seeing you here!

gold is a metal, she has a heart of metal and doesnt care for her students' future
NOTHING else

War flashbacks to my secondary 3 science teacher who was so old and senile that he was inept to teach us science for five minutes straight.
Students complained, parents complained, other science teachers who were giving lunch time classes for their own students but were fluded by his complained.....and he never got fired!
I am your 666th like
The only time I ever saw a teacher being fired was my sociology teacher in ninth grade. He was at least 20 minutes late every single day of class (when our classes with him were just 40 min long) and towards the end of the year he simply wouldn’t show.
He would make test questions like “what are the differences between capitalism and socialism?” And would give you a 0 if you criticized socialism.
One day the principal had a meeting with him to discuss a disciplinary action like a paid leave or something and he told her to “F right off”.

I had a math teacher who couldn’t do the homework she assigned, regularly wrote the wrong answers to her own quizzes, and would ask another student in the class to give answers to questions that she couldn’t figure out. 🤦🏾♀️
@Truth Seeker nope s she was very white. not sure how race would be relevant here though.
what school? what teacher?
T C Mrs. Bachman Alta Loma high school. I think this is a very common occurrence though unfortunately.
I had one who would get stuck doing a proof on the board during lecture, repeatedly. Dude, if you're bad at this, write out notes the night before. Lots of teachers use lecture notes.
@Loneamaruq what are the B & L?
I like how when she double underlines “Dream Big,” it inadvertently draws a double bonded hydrogen molecule. That is some well-informed, behind the scenes comedy writing.

i mean my programming teacher just told us to google programming tutorials and farmed bitcoins on his laptop during every class...
Learned me more about programming than any college professor ever did.
Editing is the only thing that makes slight sense. Film courses in schools suck sadly.

@@NJ-wb1cz You taught me more about ignorance and an blatant disregard to what the user is saying based on experience, than of the three years of your depression.🙏
You see, there is no such thing as an standard in life nor does it have to be. Its just an ideological system set by humans with an set of criteria(s) that must be met in accords to their expectations, and the issue with this is that not all who have their own purpose will meet it. It sometimes contradicts and in this academic system, governed by the state, this issue wages on because of its mandatory policies as well as for underating other alternatives.
The point I'm trying to make, its a problem that is occuring and I'm telling you as an student who went from schools, colleges and universities, that you should not always go against them who have different views which contradicts yours, as its based on their experience. After all, not all is going to work for them, so I find you being more biased to call him senseless when you are disregarding his point without such sense of sympathy and empathy.🙏

I had a chemistry teacher that was an amazing guy. Dude was intense and very involved with us students making sure everything was okay with our minds and would often have long talks with individual students about life, politics, their home situation, etc etc. He was a friend as much as a teacher, and he was a damn good teacher, I think more people made A's on their finals in his class than in any other class on any subject.
They fired him the same year.
Fired him for what?
they fired him for a reason you don't know about
Yuuup. I had an amazing teacher get fired 1 year before retirement so he wouldn't have to be payed his full benefits :(.

So weird because they got ethanol and formaldehyde right.
Edit: ok that's actually not formaldehyde, I don't know what it is.
This was a problem in many math classes I've taken. That one class my junior year actually had a teacher that just taught in a straightforward manner and didn't talk about her personal life for 30 minutes. It turned out to be the best math class I ever had because it was an easier way to follow and didn't waste my time when I needed help later on.
That principal is the only normal person in the Onion world.

She did not get fired. She graduated and it was probably the biggest achievement in her life.
I expected she would be a well qualified teacher, but she happened to be cliche and lost her job because of her words.

-Write down your five biggest life goals
-How does chemistry relate to them?”

god my cultural studies profs would always be on about this kind of shit in uni. Like oh really? we're both in this together and you're learning from us as we're learning from you? Okay then how about you take some money from your salary and use it to pay my tuition. If this is such an equal partnership it seems weird that I'm paying thousands of dollars to be here while you are being paid thousands of dollars to do the same.
What I hate the most about those is that the textbooks the assign are actually good and very precise. So they don't do crap all year to just slay you in the midterms. I could have used some guidelines on the class material, but I was always on my own because they never addressed anything from it in the class!
Hey, just remember: "Students won't care what you know until they know that you care."

What's so comedic is that When I was in 10th grade My class had our teacher leave on maternity leave and we got a sub that had no idea about biology. They ended up replacing her after we took our mid-terms and complained
Teacher: I teach chemistry
students: Teach us about photosynthesis and vectors.
It really be like this these days.
I will say the teachers I learned most from were the ones who also listened to my point and we could have honest discussions about many things in a class

Of course, high schools think the purpose of the tenth grade is to prepare you for the eleventh grade. Not to prepare you for the real world, or anything like that.

It's like their schools never had tenure.
You laugh, I had a lecturer in university teaching "Recent history of the Middle East", laughingly saying she knew very little about the Arab-Israeli-conflict and learned about it via her students. Turned out she knew very little about the ME or its history or history or teaching in general. She was unfortunately not fired, but payed double the national median income by the taxpayer to be absolutely incompetent and to my knowledge still holds the same position.
"Never be afraid to ask questions. Ask as many questions as you want."
"Why are you asking that? I already explained that. We're moving on now."
There is such a thing as a stupid question but anyone trying to learn wouldn't be asking one.
Oh man those "assignments" under homework are totally on point
I don't know how many times I've had to state goals or other stuff in class, and then tying something barely related to the subject matter is also another thing done a lot.
You know you have hit the very bottom when teenagers want to learn
Nah believe it or not not all teenagers it’s just crazy rude people addicted to their phones. Some of us actually want to learn.
more sad than funny
I actually had a teacher who taught me nothing. It was one of the weirdest semesters of my entire life. Each class was almost surreal in how he managed to spend nearly an hour not teaching us but yet talking the whole time. I made an A of course...everyone made an A, but we didn't learn one thing I tell you. Nothing.

Unrealistic, she would never get fired for this. Not in a US public school.
Don't worry, when Trump gets back in the White House, he'll reinstate Betsy DeVos, and she'll finish what she started...by dismantling the public school system, and forcing ALL students to be either, sent to faith-based private charter schools, or home schooled.
Then you'll really see some Christo-fascist indoctrination. lol
To be fair this was my chemistry teacher. She’d tell us a long winded story about how the two molecules are a couple and how they share an electron like you would pass a shopping bag to one another, because it’s important to support each other in a family. It went on...
did she just steal the tape dispenser or do teachers usually own those?

Had a biology instructor who had a bad habit of starting off saying something out loud and then muttering the rest to herself. For example, she would say something, then would add extra notes to what she just said, except those parts were quietly added, like how you might correct yourself in a conversation ("Okay, so maybe so and so didn't *literally* do that, but it was close enough..." That kind of thing, except with biology and for an entire hour).
Worse yet, the test we took each week never looked anything close to the notes she had us write down verbatim. She provided the notes, we just copied them. While I understand not wanting the students to quote back the information word for word, which anyone can do, writing down notes all class (that was Tuesdays. Thursdays, we had lab, so we weren't even going over those notes) isn't teaching. For me, at least, it won't stick if I don't hear more on how the information I'm being told is actually used in the world. I remember making note cards to help memorize the information and understand it better and it helped nada.
Lab was alright. I usually hate depending on others for a class assignemnt, wanting to pull my own weight, but her muttered instructions each class combined with her confusing notes made it hard to understand what she was asking of us.
I would get really sick that year, causing me to miss a lot of class. With everything combined, I decided to save my grade by just dropping my classes. Either way, I knew I was screwed when the 4.0 students were whispering her method of teaching was causing them to make C's.

William O’Donnell Technically, photosynthesis can be studied in chemistry because it is a chemical reaction. Vectors, on the other hand, are indeed a physics topic, but they are also taught in maths.
How did she even get the job? In my country, becoming a teacher takes at least 5 years of studies containing three internships, school training classes with supervisors and it is followed by 1,5 years of referendary during which you teach with a mentor. It is impossible to teach nonsense and inaccurate statements after that (unless you suffer from mental illnesses) because you wouldn't even get through university exams.
I had a 65 year old physics teacher with dementia but this did not stop her from explaining how atoms work. She forgot names and why she was going into the staff room but still managed to explain properly.
You have a Wishlist attached to your UA-cam about section
In the U.S. (and probably Canada, the UK, and Australia), a bachelors degree in education is typically one of the least-challenging degrees offered. Ivy League schools like Harvard don't even offer bachelors in education. Becoming certified to teach in the U.S. requires a student teaching internship as well, but it doesn't guarantee that once the person is in the classroom that they will actually be effective at all. A lot of K-12 public school teachers in the U.S. are glorified babysitters and soccer moms and they hover at right around "painfully average".
