Let’s just back up a minute. Why is any teacher showing films in school? Are they too tired to teach? When I was in school we got to see these boring film strips and rarely an Apollo mission on TV - the TV was in the gym and the whole school gathered to watch it. Considering reading and math proficiency levels at most schools, the teachers shouldn’t be sparing a single moment on that teaching thing. There no room for films with or without faggots in them.
It’s been a common thing to show films in school during this tail end of the school year.
In April, many schools had their Sat Tests, followed by several final exams. Some teachers figure the kids need a light schedule, if they ‘earned it’ in the last quarter by showing good behavior. I used to work as part time Teacher’s Aide from 2001 to about 2007.
“Why is any teacher showing films in school?”
I think half of instruction in all classes is films these days. How else can the teacher catch up on the latest on Tiktok?
One of my degrees is in business with an accounting major. One of my courses was in auditing and was taught by a woman who showed barely pertinent movies.
She was also big on personal anecdotes and clearly was just eating up time because she was too lazy and stupid to do the course material justice.
Today's teachers are stupid and lazy. They chose the path of least resistance because it's a gravy major.
Same here and the TVs were all black and white. I watch Neil Armstrong step foot on the moon in 3rd grade, all of us hurdled around a B&W TV with rabbit ears.
I also remember watching Disney productions such at Jiminy Cricket issuing safety instructions. "I'm no fool, No Surrey, I'm gonna live to a hundred and three."
I weep for this generation and for us having failed them. May the good Lord forgive us all.
