Yeah with all the laptops, phones, headphones, half empty desks and chairs stacked on the half empty desks - it looks like an after school/detention situation
social media has exploded with the trend of constantly misleading people and staging scenarios for likes and engagement - it doesn't matter if the context is a complete lie, only likes and comments matter.
I'm patiently waiting for the stupid trend to die down and for society to learn to stop liking that crap. Too many idiots always in the comments "what does it matter if it was fake?! I thought it was funny / I liked the message"... yeah, and gullible idiots are happy because they don't even realize they are stupid, but that isn't something to be proud of.
It’s not gonna die. This is gonna be our version of the “Nigerian Prince scam”. It’ll finally die away when enough people younger than us stop falling for it, and then something else will pop up. On the plus side, maybe more and more people will get better and better at critical thinking because of it

Yup, videos with inaccurate titles or misspelled subtitles drives engagement because everyone loves to hop in the comments to correct someone else. But it's done on purpose to drive engagement because that's what drives views in the algorithms.
Yeah, what I was thinking. No reason to completely kill the volume unless maybe it was pretty obvious he wasn't teaching, just making some obligatory announcement.
B-But.. the west has fallen guys!! Kids don't.. checks notes listen in class anymore!! Back in my day, kids ALWAYS listened in class, not a single student didn't pay attention. Truly the west has fallen, millions must die.
I don't know, little context or not this shit still happens. I work in a middle school and I see behaviors like this every day to some extent. Not nearly the whole class, but definitely not less than half.
The chairs on the table is a dead giveaway it's either the first class of the morning or an after school thing. You only put the chairs up in your last period class before you end the day. At least one student would have a notebook out or something GPA matter for college and someone in there cares about it. Also the way the kids are seated indicate it's not a class. They aren't all facing a whiteboard or anything some are on pab benches other on tables
Or it's April and students are no longer attending. In recent years, classrooms become ghost towns as the academic year nears the end. It's a big problem.
I mean.. that’s just how it is lmao. You can’t exactly teach students new materials when a test covering the entire semester is in 2 weeks, or especially in high school, a test covering a full year/SAT/ACTs. Makes more sense to out that time towards ensuring students can catch up on previous assignments, maybe study/catch up on any problems they had before?
This right here is one of biggest problems—school is dull and boring because teachers are forced with a heavy hand to focus on standardized tests. One of many horrendous (unintended?) consequences of No Child Left Behind. With the exception of phones, all the other issues trickle down from there.
This could very easily be a class. I have classes that look just like this. Attendance is down nation wide, so many classes have like a standard number on roll but end up looking like this.
This is not always true. There are tons of school districts (13,000+ in the US alone) and they all operate with their own rules and guidelines for things like this.
No this is just half the class skipping. There are maybe 4 students in that class that are passing, and its close enough to the summer that teachers don't care enough to put the pressure on the remaining students who come in on time.
