Honestly, Zack being Gormogon’s Apprentice was quite literally the biggest plot twist of all time

So I substitute taught today.
And I have never been so affirmed in my choice to go after a COUNSELING career, rather than return to teaching.
First thing was that detention is “supposed to be a punishment,” and like my whole body is “immediately no.”
Punishment as a concept is about control, is not a long-term, beneficial solution, and fuck that shit.
Consequences that create self control and self discipline and support self reflection, yes.
Arbitrary, authoritarian punishment, hell no.
Second was this catch up credit program that had a kid watching 20 minute videos and answering dove quiz questions at the end. As if that’s a history education. WHERE IS THE THINKING?! WHERE IS THE DISCUSSION?! WHERE IS THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS?! THE DISCOVERY OF THE DEPTHS AND HEIGHTS HUMANITY CAN GO TO?! THE MORAL QUANDRIES?!
It wasn’t even good history videos, just lame dates and numbers and AUGH.
And the AMOUNT of kids who had “finished their work” (per the teacher), and could just … do nothing. Their butts had to be in these classroom seats, and they had no work to do.
Oh. My. God.
The LEVEL of “teach to the test” things have sunk to; I had no idea.
And having them just sit … omg, get them out growing a garden. Moving. Building shit. Doing art. An improv class.
There were coloring pages, but like THESE ARE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.
There were no good books in the room (except the one I brought in my bag.)
Just.
I was sad.
And they had to go to the bathroom and be back in 5 minutes.
Now I get we don’t want kids meandering the hallways, but like.
Good grief.
I just.
I’m tired.
I was also distressed by the things the kids talked about going on in their personal lives, and was like “YUP. COUNSELOR.”
So. Yeah.

Went to a Hot Topic for the first time in years, and I am left to wonder:
Are anime kids the fashion descendants of scene kids?
