Got it, at farm scale, who cares if a few apples get bruised by the machinery?
How about you offer constructive solutions instead of just criticizing?
Because that is the cry of the oppressor. Give me a solution that works within my framework and existing constraints.
Lazy entitled thinking. Blame capitalism and imperialism for every problem. Free yourself from all thought and responsibility.
Sorry, if you're going to criticize, offer a solution. Because what you're doing currently is demanding that teachers tear down capitalism.
It's not teacher's responsibility to tear down capitalism. If that's the problem you diagnose, then it has zero relevance to discussion of classroom management strategies.
Because when you say to tell a teacher, "this problem will go away if we just completely reorganize society top to bottom," you are making clear that you don't give a shit about teachers.
Look, there is a difference between doing your best in a difficult situation and identifying so much with a system thaf you feel the need to defend it.
I just get tired of folks who cite utopia as a solution to real-world problems. It's lazy.
Fair enough.
You know I think it is okay to acknowledge that there are problems that we don't necessarily know how to fix. It's not perfect and these things can be difficult to sit with, but I'd personally rather that than only acknowledge problems where I know a solution.
