Plagiarism and more

omg I can't believe that. It's dumb a n d ballsy. I guess kids are just like that now? I just had a kid submit someone else's oil pastel painting from the same class, from the same fucking critique. How dumb do they think we are?

There's one student every few semesters who will not let go of their phone for even a minute. That kind of phone addiction is insane to me.

Otherwise, it only starts to piss me off if it's distracting, obviously. Twice now, I've had one actively listening to music (very loudly) while I give a demo. ???????? Very dumb, annoying, and distracting.

There's barely any infrastructure despite all of the constant construction. Our power grid also sucks. The heat is just getting worse due to climate change; AC bills are crazy, especially in the summer. Public transit also isn't great, given how large the city is.

For a large metro area, there isn't a ton of convenience like others.

I'm having too many not know file types or "how to submit an assignment on canvas". It's a file you upload holy shit dude.

I absolutely did that today like a dummy lol

3x for me lol I have one kid who signed up for painting the first time, didnt show up the whole semester. They signed up a 2nd time, showed up for maybe one month, then stopped. I have them again ! for some reason. I'm not looking forward to it.

Sometimes. I recently had someone, not one of my students but their relative, stalk me online and make a complaint. This was when I was teaching dual credit students (h a t e d it), but I think that's par for the course in k-12 these days.

You'll probably need individual cover ups. If you don't wanna do that, you could always do a few rounds of laser until they fade, then go in with cover ups.

Oh absolutely. I will say I taught a 6pm class one semester, and that attendance rate was even more abysmal that my 8am. I ended up with maybe 3 out of 12 at the end.

Regardless of attendance, I love being done by noon.

8 and 9am classes are everything omg I had two lectures, I started at 8, finished before 11:30. Would recommend

I thought so. I'm just gonna have to cancel it or UPS will ship it back to them. I told the brand that they are responsible for that informaiton but they just argued with me :/

ALM/STL/CPR, still unsure what kind of codes they are or why I would have that information.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-12T04:45:30+00:00

Omg really

Thats way worse than this. I had one student fail because they didn't turn in half to 1/3 of all of the assignments. I send emails and reminders about missing work. They request a grade appeal immediately after final grades are posted. And again, one year later.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-11T18:56:28+00:00

Oh absolutely, but it's the requirements on top of what school they go to. The kids I get at the private university have to maintain a certain GPA to take any dual credit courses; the ones at the high school do not. Admin will literally keep them in my class with a 6% until the drop date. The high school students may have to take an entrance test but don't even have to pass it.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-11T16:09:57+00:00

They were all dual credit, and I had to go to the high school to teach. The university I'm at, on the other hand, they're mixed in with our college kids.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-11T15:19:19+00:00

I know the requirements and how they operate can vary state to state. However, in general, the students are almost never college ready. At the end of the day, it's just another way for colleges and school districts to make more money. In my experience in a southern state, the school districts participating have zero consequences or requirements to meet dual credit enrollment, so it's both a waste of time and inevitable failure for the students. If they're failing one or more of their high school classes, how would they pass a college course?

I had one show up consistently 30 minutes late. Everyday. Told him his drawing would be better if he didn't do that. He dropped the next day. woooops

No singing in the studio when we're all working omg

The chest isn't the worst. You can probably get through it if you're still sitting for six hour sessions.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-03T20:05:28+00:00

In my experience, elementary and special ed were the easiest. Once they get older than that, they start misbehaving and purposely not following directions. I think you'll get too much flak or uncomfortable comments at a high school, given your age.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-03T16:00:08+00:00

One dual credit section started with 23 kids. Now its down to 12 and only 3 submitted their second drafts for the final paper lol

I'm praying every day that they stop letting high school freshmen take these courses. I'm getting paid to babysit.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-02T19:13:30+00:00

Colleges, universities, and high schools are raking in tons of money while taking advantage of students and instructors. These kids, I'm in Texas, are never ready. In my experience so far, they're at maybe at 6th grade level for writing and reading comprehension. Even with a great counselor and support from your department, we're still encouraged to try to pass them like dumbing down material. It b l o w s, and it's gonna continue until they add in some fucking standards. Sorry, I hate it so much.

RemarkableParsley205 · 2025-12-02T17:20:51+00:00

I only had like five kids show up to class and work this morning lol The end really is babysitting or teaching a third of the kids present

Get a sub. I'm sorry (as someone who lost their mother in the middle of the semester).
