Doesn't randomly go erect during middle school powerpoint presentations
Lmfao, reminds me of a random highscool team ppt presentation I did with a girl I liked. I got a random awkward hardie during my half, then my partner outdid me and peed her sweatpants during hers.
Then maybe you shouldn’t be teaching middle school???
/jk
I did actually consider becoming a teacher ages back :3. but then I realized you have to be smart for that
No you don't, you just have to be smarter than those students, and that's not hard, because they're stupid. If they're outpacing you, you just downshift to a lower grade, until you find the grade level where you're smarter than most.
And for the kids that are smarter than you, you just bully them until they shut up, or transfer to a different school.
I really hope you're kidding here
Not wrong lol. But you need to be smart to pass the classes to become a teacher in the first place, which really is the hard part :3. I looked into what I needed to be accepted into the courses when I was looking into what to study, and my grades didn't meet the requirements
When I was little. I thought my parents were the smartest people in the world. Then when I went to school, I thought my teachers were the smartest people in the world, because they were way smarter than my parents. When I got to high school, I thought my maths and English and science teachers where the smartest people in the world, because they were way smarter than my primary school teachers.
Now 20 years later, I'm friends with lots of people who teach high school, and secretly they're not that smart. All they need to do is learn the material from the curriculum and teach it to the students.
Enormous respect for what they do, I couldn't do it, but it's not a job that requires higher than average intelligence.
Not particularly. You just need to sound like you know what you're talking about.
