I think you underestimate the increase in the difficulty of teachers jobs in the last 5 years. They’ve lost a lot of their ability to even teach due to internet parenting and brain rot.
Brain rot has ALWAYS been a thing. Don't blame the internet for that! We're the same species that convinced ourselves that a magical man in the sky is looking over everyone, at all times, and making sure there's a grand plan in place. Nothing happens without reason, and it's all his devine plan.......but also, we have child rapists, murderers, animal abusers, wife beaters, nuclear weapons, war, disease, famine, the list goes on. Every horrific tragic thing that's ever happened was always meant to happen, because it's all part of the plan.
Come on. You don't think there's shitloads of people with brain rot going on, dating back centuries? Millenias even?
Apparently these rules exist in my house also. Just today, my Gen Z kid forbade me from ever saying rizz or Ohio again. Luckily, I don't live near Ohio, so I don't need these words for any functional purpose. In particular, she told me that Ohio has been over for, like, a year and I'm out of date on slang.
They are government institutions and they just can't limit free speech like this, for terms that are not disruptive or vulgar but that the administration simply don't like for personal reasons.
My mom works in a school with 1st through 5th graders. She messages me like twice a week for me to explain slang to her so she can know if she needs to explain to a child that it's wrong to say. I've learned so much new slang.
Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I've been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.
Ok I'll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.
I've been to well over 30 states (it's been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year
I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren't known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we're balanced enough to be a swing state. A flag that's more recognizable than plain blue with a hard to see logo in the center.
Ohio might be mid, but that isn't always a bad thing
I don't know why people act like it's bad to like a certain area. I enjoy it here. If people don't, that's fine. If they want to live somewhere else then I hope they can move to that place.
Whenever someone says state X is better than state Y, they're saying X has things about it that they prefer. Once again this is fine, but there is no objective standard that one state is better than another (just like with countries -- "America is the greatest country in the world" is extremely cringe).
To the left of this there's a different list, "use more of these"
DEI hire
woke
...
Edit: This is a (poor) attempt on a sarcastic take, because when a teacher starts banning words like that, the next thought would be if they have a positive list?
I think he was implying that the same people who would want a list like this banning words like these would support enforcing the use of the above terms
