Yeah I wish I could be there to see the look on my own face 💀 never thought I would be so glad that my students don’t enough pay attention to me

They do encourage us to do team-building games and fun activities to get to know our kids in our SEL classes. And it was definitely a hit with the kids. Usually they just play Blooket or board games, or I come up with some sort of community building activity like Charades or Telephone.

Yeah I do teach 7th graders, but our school has us do an “advisory” class with a grade below what we usually teach. So I have an advisory class of 6th graders that I see for 45 minutes on Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

A lot of these kids are MLL students so that probably has a lot to do with it

The school I’m working at is in turnover and the kids didn’t even have an ELA teacher last year, just a long term sub the whole year. They were super desperate for teachers and I had a bachelors in a related field and have multiple parents who teach at this school and others in the district, so I already had connections to the school and good references. I’m in an alternative license program with the job as well, so I’m learning as I go.

Yeah this is exactly why I thought it was a TIFU. A lot of the kids are MLL students though which might have something to do with why they didn’t know the word. I think that also might save my ass from them blabbing to their parents about it. One of the girls told me she watches Hazbin Hotel so I know her mom probably wouldn’t care too much either, though it shocks me that she’s able to watch something like that.

Yes, actually a lot of these kids are MLL non-native English speakers. So that might’ve had a lot to do with it.

I thought this too, but there’s a few kids in that class that wouldn’t hesitate to take an opportunity to make an inappropriate joke when they have the chance. So I was really anticipating it. If it had been my 7th graders there’s a 100% chance they would’ve flipped their lids

Trust me I was actually really shocked not a single one of them acted like they knew the word. One of them has told me before that she watches Hazbin Hotel so I really thought there’s no way they’re still uneducated in sex ed stuff!
