“Calming Banana” actually sounds like a great band name. Seriously!
Banana of calming, plus 10 to calmness.
best way to learn a subject. i couldn’t do it more than a few years. imagine gradeschool math for 20 years with screaming kids. no thanks
Frustrating it may be, but the alternative like not teaching is far worse.
Bad parenting is expected, unfortunately. That I have read domestic violence has to do with truancy and antisocial behavior.
I’m surprised teachers haven’t gone full ISIS post-covid.
This isn’t even that bad.
The reason bullies get away with being bullies at school is cause their parents also tend to be bullies. So when the little shit gets in trouble for being a bully, his fat parents will waddle in and bully the stuff and faculty for daring to discipline their little skid mark. Faculty don’t wanna deal with this, so they let the little shits get away with everything and only punishing the kids who fight back
thier little skid mark
Solid description
Punch a teacher in the face, get a free banana. Sounds like a great deal for the kid. Maybe if he shoots his teacher he’ll get a “calming Nintendo”.
Thanks Super-Nintendo Chalmers
“Thanks Super-Nintendo Calmers” was right there bro.

Dear Parent,
In an effort to break the routine of unacceptable parenting, I would like to demonstrate what you can do with banans. First, get a large bunch of preferrably green bananas. Remove two of these bananas from the bunch. Take one banana, and insert the stem rigorously into your right ear canal. Repeat with the other banana in your left ear canal. Do not remove the banana until they begin to wither.
And thats it!
The effort to reduce your child’s violent outbursts remains the same, but at least you will be able to share your Superpower of Narrow Intelligence with the public! Everyone will unequivocally know that you are a moron.
Surely the designer put it up as a prank.
Graphic designers do this crap all the time. I’ve got an aviation textbook with three meshed gears on the cover:
Hey that’s not fair, this could have been taken in Europe
Wife used to be a teacher. Key word USED to.
Had a student who regularly threatened to kill her and destroyed her classroom at least twice a week. She would have to clear all the students into the hall while he went on a rampage in there.
The AP would just come down and give him video games to “calm him down”. Guess who learned to freak out for rewards?
It’s almost like kids don’t like being physically coerced into a prison for their whole day.
Yup, kids should never be coerced into doing anything they don’t like. They know best.
thank you
This specific child was being neglected at home. He clearly felt that school was the only place he could exert control without being hit for it.
The solution is obvious
Can you point it out for a dumbass?
Call in ICE and say the kid is an illegal Mexican
"Ah yes, the ancient cure for physical assault: potassium. I’m sure the glasses will magically fix themselves once he finishes his ‘Superpower’ fruit. 🍌👓
All the problematic peers I’ve known either were born into a neglectful or hostile household, or were neurodivergent of some kind and didn’t fit in with the environment we were in, since those who were typical and were born into understanding families would just do what they were supposed to do.
Due to how schools where I live are supposed to be looking out for signs of neurodivergence or other differences, while also being underfunded without a justification, many students aren’t even seen and once they get to middle or high school, they become the violent and problematic ones.
Then again though, it’s also the parents’ responsibility to make sure their own child is heard and cared for to prevent such outbursts from happening in the first place, and those neglectful or hostile households are likely a result of the parents not understanding what being mentally healthy means.
that kid does not have good home
Sounds reasonable to give the kid some breakfast before school
the parent got told that his kid assaulted a teacher and this is the response, raving about some “calming bananas”. Also not a word of apology.
Sounds like the school can’t control the kids. More control needed. \s
its the parents who dont control their kid
Teaching in a school has greatly changed over the past 3 decades. It’s still a rewarding career, but not one I wanted to stick with - the pressure to work miracles is too high, and the support just isn’t there to do so.
What gets me is the complete lack of respect, while also having standards that expect you to be a saint.
Teaching title 1, after the district reorganized and combined schools with rival gangs - roster changing every day, buses showing up hours late, not being allowed to kick disruptive students out of the classroom, and having to withstand verbal abuse…
They want you to be Jesus. Spend your own money on supplies, focus on “building a relationship” with the student who screamed “fucking f-ggot” in front of the principal at you…
Friend was offered $80k to head up a new middle school Spanish esl dept, witb 2 other teachers. A month before school was to start, they set a date to finalize the contract. They’d never even interviewed for the 2 other teachers. They wanted her to see all 350+ kids 2x a week. And the salary had dropped to $21.6K, which is the state minimum wage of 15$ for 180 8hr days. This is in a super high COL town- the grocery store starts at $27 an hour, and $2k a month rent is a steal.
She laughed at them an walked. Had a job for 38 an hour in a construction firm’s office in 2 days (where Spanish fluency is a marketable skill dental a high esl labor force)
The schools response was the admin in charge of her hiring trying to throw her under the bus. She wrote an OP ED to the paper calling my friend out by name (which was blacked out by the paper per their agreement- it was so bad the paper reached out and asked her permission to print it- she agreed, with her name redacted and a promise theyd print her rebuttal as op Ed the following week) they tried to blame her for backing out last minute leaving them in the lurch, and claiming it was her unwillingness to teach that was to blame for their lack of a proper esl dept despite almost 1/3 of the students being esl.
The bait and switch is such a thing.
I hated chemistry. My brain wants science that is as much as possible about doing pure math. I don’t want to be memorize exceptions to every little rule and naming conventions that also have exceptions. I wanted to teach physics, I interviewed for physics. I get the job, then I find out I’m teaching chemistry.
They didn’t care that i wasn’t certified for chemistry, and that I scraped through that certification test (because I’m not going to teach anything I’m not certified to teach and took the test before the school year started) with knowing what a hydrogen bond was, much less anything covered in an organic chemistry class….
I also had classes that were 2/3 special education, which mandated a coteacher. I met her in 3 weeks in and saw her once a month, because she needed to serve as a substitute teacher. I was not certified in SPED at the time, and the IEPs they gave me were a literal excel spreadsheet with the accommodations ticked off which is beyond illegal.
The system is so beyond broken. No one seems to give a shit but there are parts of the country which are just failing.
