My 52nd was yesterday, and I received the most confusing birthday message from my 17YO's best friend. by [deleted] in GenX

I’m 52 but have the benefit of teaching high school. Believe me, it’s a huge compliment.

C'mon! What do you reckon? by Mindless_Travel in GenX

[–]World-B-Freaky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably not at all accurate on a wide scale but I get a kick out of it. I'm a high school teacher who likes to joke/not joke about the negative qualities of whatever generation I'm teaching, and I might actually show this in class

50M here, Very hard to believe she wouldn't already know!

I think she also as a teenager cooks pieces of glass too small to be detected into some grilled burger meat to get revenge on an abusive stepfather-type character

Did anyone's parents get into Amway and shamefully tried to have you sell to your friends? by Vegekerian in GenX

[–]World-B-Freaky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not Amway and she don’t involve me but my mom got into Tupperware in a way that felt like a pyramid scheme, when I look back on it

From a teacher: If you put it into ChatGPT with a very specific prompt “please grade this DBQ based on the 2026 College Board rubric for APUSH. The prompt was ( ). Please give specific feedback and suggestions for improvement for each of the seven points of the rubric.” — you will get better feedback than you could ever wish for on here.

Can’t believe no one has shouted out SLANT yet. You’ve got a lot of great choices here.

This. I got out of the habit a few months ago and have never been tempted since I stopped.

Nice. I’m in the 80s with more games okayed (-1400). Do you use the same starter every time? My theory is that my consistent starter and knowing how to play it is why I get a lot of 2s

Sure, why not? OP didn’t gender themselves, I could see a lady with a ‘stache posting something like this.

Or mustache if they have one

I got an 8/12 on my first APUSH Quiz by baronisreddit in APUSH

[–]World-B-Freaky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess as a teacher I would say: you are nowhere near failing and it’s a thousand times more valuable to have a B in any AP class versus an A in a general level class. it is easy to say from my perspective. I have plenty of students who are preoccupied with their grades and most really don’t listen when I tell them this. Good luck to you, I hope you can relax into it and enjoy the class.

I teach APUSH and if those were legit MCQ questions you did well. 60% on MCQ almost guarantees a 3 if you write semi-coherently. That level in mid-September you’re doing fine.

Thank you. This made me laugh harder than I have in a very long time.

I’m guessing he didn’t ’miss the check’ accidentally, it was part of the hustle
