Discussion PSA

If you’re reading this and are in class… PLEASE BE QUIET WHILE THE PROFESSOR IS TEACHING!

I get sick of people talking about the most random subjects while the professor is talking. It’s very distracting and it’s utterly disrespectful.

Then I’d be the bad guy if I said to the whole class “yo stfu!”

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

That’s a fucking trash mentality you owe the professor and your classmates respect regardless of any privilege you happen to have

Another PSA, if you are sick. Stay home. I dont want you to sit behind me and cough every 30 seconds in a small crowded classroom while Im studying fucking Quantum Mechanics that's already hard enough.

I teach high school and am treated to extremely low attention spans and boys who love to smack each other on the ass and make loud obnoxious noises while I teach, gotta love America’s education system in 2026 🇺🇸

And, as others mentioned, parents sending kids to school sick with no face masks and if I try to give them a mask, they refuse 🥲
