and so on every time

I don't know a teacher who would say that tho

My personal experience has also been that the students who don't understand the material never say anything, fall behind to the point where they just give up because it would take too much effort to remediate, and post Rick Sanchez "school isn't for smart people" quotes on Facebook with a high school diploma.
- This seems pretty unfair. I definitely remember students going to office hours, attending study groups, working with tutors.
I see you didn't have my 10th grade chemistry teacher.

I love the nearly racist truth that there are clear tiers for countries and helpful YouTube content.

Are you an Electrical Engineer? You want a man of Slavic descent.

Computer scientist? Indian man.

Programmer? You want either middle east or (vaguely) American white guy.

Physics? White girl; geographic region not important.

Mental Health: woman either American or vaguely from geographic region of India.

Mathematics? British accent or Asian descent.

I am not sure why this pattern seems to exist, but it feels present. If you seek help on YouTube with any of these subjects I imagine you've seen it.

Like if I'm looking for an explanation on Colombs Law, I want a guy that sounds like ElectroBoom. If I need to know about Discrete Finite Automata, Ill click the first guy with a turban. If I want to know about the poincare conjecture, Im looking for snaggletooths. If I want the latest from James web, I'm looking for a ponytail or Sabine.

🤷‍♂️

I feel like even SEO acknowledges this prejudice.

Why is the student smug but internally crying about not knowing excel?

Indian man on YouTube put me through college 10-14 years ago. He's a real one.

It wasn't that my instructors were discouraging me or anything. Indian man just has a way of explaining things.

I tried so hard to listen but the accents are too thick sometimes. You should get a certificate for being able to understand after all that.
- It starts to really sink in after about 100 hours lol
  My first job out of college, I worked with a lot of Indian people. It was like I was uniquely prepared to work there.
You must do the needful

When I was young we had a Smith-Corona PC. It was like a suitcase.

Anyway, I had two things I could learn from - Lotus 1-2-3 and Leisure Suit Larry.

I didn’t learn spreadsheets.

Edit: add pic of Primitive portable PC preceding Passionate Patty’s play.

Corona
Unfortunately named.

Teachers: "We're doing the best we can. It's all the parents' fault for raising these no-learning-ass little monsters. We've tried literally everything, and there is NOTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY DO to rescue the nation from this nightmare of continually stupider people. None of it is our fault, and if you even think about suggesting that we should be held accountable for our job performance, you are actually evil."

Also teachers: "If you kicked us an extra twenty or thirty grand per year, you'd really start to see a lot of improvement."

I mean, it is probably easier to teach when you have adequate funds for supplies, and are paid a wage where you don’t have to hold down an extra job to make ends meet, having more attention and energy for teaching. One would think at least
- That's true. And I was exaggerating for effect. But the fact remains that you can't have it both ways.
  Either you're doing everything that can be done, and nothing can help these little shits to learn OR you need more money, and that would fix the problem.
  Pick one of those messages. Not both. Both things can't be true.
  EDIT: Please do pick the "we need more money" message. It's actionable, at least. I'm all for raising taxes on the top 25 percent wealthy motherfuckers and putting a lot of that dough into education and directly into teachers' salaries.
  We should at least try that. See if it works. The other message is just "the kids are dumb. The parents are bad. We're all screwed. Always kiss teachers' asses, though, whenever you see them."
