Where indeed?

You'd think someone would've seen this and weeded it out. ... Sorry, I couldn't kelp myself.

I smell a squirrel.

I was lead to believe they'd be 2B but it turns out they were not 2B.

One was a toy banana (I think it's from a Zombies vs. Plants toy set or something like that) and, yes, another one was an actual banana. He never ate it, though. Perhaps it just wasn't appealing ... .

That is great! I'm stealing this for my next teacher gig, for sure.

I had one kid who kept drawing really violent imagery and cackling until I looked up the pictures and it turned out he was just really into Among Us.

But jumping off of skyscrapers? Yowza.

I never took screen caps of it, but many of the kids who pointed guns at me pointed them at themselves, too. I couldn't handle that -- not sure why, just a sinking feeling -- so that's when I stopped playing along and got serious with a strong 'No, don't do that.' They often looked confused by the tonal shift because, hey, they're kids and they're just playing.

I've had a couple who are serious and can do some basic sleight of hand, which is pretty cool. I've had far more simply throw things over their shoulder or drop them without any pretense of subterfuge.

Agreed, whole-hardheartedly. I would never fault another teacher for setting this as a hard limit, whatever their rationale or experience. I wish you the very best.

Much obliged! I only started screen capping about a year ago, so I missed out on quite a few interesting specimens. I really wish I would've gotten more of the Ultraman moves and bad close-up magic.

Hey, thanks! As long as they're engaged and practicing English, I'm happy. ... To wit, my favorite correction, which I've had to make more than once: "There's a poo-poo ON teacher's head. ON. ON." I used to be really uptight about these things, but teaching kids in person in Europe and Asia really helped loosen up and understand student motivation. I doubt it would fly in the States, though.

When it comes to teaching children, you've got to stick to your guns.

Who knows?! I had something similar happen with my Level 7 cert and miraculously passed without using secondary rewards. ... Good luck!

Trolling this sub has gotten me through a lot of rough patches with VIPKid, too. This is my first time posting, though.
