Joke’s on the kids—It’s the cringe I’m aiming for. I live to hear the groans and see the eye rolls.
I know a few teachers, the “cringy and bad” is the goal, not a mistake. It’s apparently quite therapeutic watching the “cool kids” squirm. How bad can you make them, but not make it obvious what you’re doing?
The fact that it also helps a lot of kids remember it is almost just a bonus.
Am teacher, this is absolutely true. The awkwardness is hilarious too me.
I’ve got a friend who was slightly too old when the word yeet became popular. He decided he would use it confidently, often, and incorrect. He still does.
He’s excited to embarrass his kids by doing that with whatever the current slang is when they are 12 or 13.
My minion is still too young for that. I plan to wind them up mercilessly however. Right now, dad jokes are the height of humour to them.
- “I’m hungry”
- “Hi hungry, I’m dad!”
- “Nooooooo, I’m not called hungry!”
- “So why did you tell me your name was hungry?”
- …
I’ll be a little sad when it finally gets old.
Hi Hungary, I’m Belgium
Can confirm, life has new meaning, so sigma
I’m so rizzed up about using slang wrong
YES! Yes holy shit, I love to make kids cringe by intentionally using memes wrong.
I’m not even a teacher but this is the best part of being a full adult.
Kids don’t get the idea of others getting their cringy and bad memes
Yup and the “cool” ones who don’t engage will suddenly be engaged with it and paying attention
That’s fire
School toilets are about to become even more traumatic when gen alpha starts teaching.
At least I just have random nyan cat bullet points in my slides, with a lot of random loss thrown in.
And then there are the teachers using memes specifically because they know it will make those memes uncool. And I salute them.
When I saw my first textbook that had an XKCD comic in it I had A little bit of a squeal of joy. I’m old What do I know.
XKCD would be so perfect for textbooks!
But you know what osmosis is now don’t you. Also count yourselves lucky you get memes we got “raps”
The powerhouse of the cell?
Omg there was a teacher at my school that would make songs that were just some super basic beat and him conjugating verbs, with a little bit of echo. Then he’d play them during class while looking at the students.
My speculation is that teenagers react so vile to adults trying to fit in partially as a unwittingly defensive mechanism. Teenagers have some social skills, but not all and thus having separate youth culture provides spaces for learning - adults trying to fit in are possible OP in those spaces and keeping out adults altogether might help with abuse prevention as well.
I don’t really know how to test or research this speculation though.
This meme makes my wife sad. Stop it.
To live is to be cringe. Just don’t be a fascist.
I would say if it serves a purpose, helps you to drive a point across, go ahead.
But don’t make any other slide a meme please.
