  1. Is it any wonder kids get into drugs?
    Not being taught reality anymore. Everything is a fantasy world.

    1. Now I understand the rising suicide rate among teens …

      Who wants to become an “adult” like that?

      1. At least a few kids had the temerity to film this shit.
        Saw one bow his head in disbelief.
        There may be hope yet.

    1. From one of the comments on the tweet, apparently it *is* a math lesson. I never had a teacher that was that crazy.

      1. I just realized … maybe this is an example of “introducing social justice into the math curriculum”.

        She teaches some math (sorta).
        She teaches some history (sorta).
        She teaches that math and social justice don’t mix (sorta).

  2. What in the actual fuck was that!?
    Did you catch the kid who laid his head down in despair on the desk?

  3. I thought she was chanting “Coca Cola”. Are we allowed to say “nutty as a fruit cake” any more or is that offensive to fruit cakes?

  4. Well, I suppose this supports the argument that math is racist (or cultural appropriation… whatever).

    At first, I thought this was a pre-school teacher (which might have been forgivable), then I saw some of the kids, who looked more like high-school students. I especially felt a little remorse for the kid with his head down on his desk wondering wtf am I doing here?

    This “teacher” is obviously missing a few feathers from her head dress.

    I guess once the indigenous take over the country, they’ll put a stop to teaching SOH CAH TOA, which has been taught long before I was going to high school (judging by the age of the text books when I studied HS geometry.)

    1. She’s ‘teaching’ Trig? Holy shit, she is.
      sin = opp over hyp
      cos = adj over hyp
      tan = opp over adj

    1. She needs someone with a bow and arrow to target practice on her. Sheesh! Those poor students forced to sit still, masked and locked in her classroom. Leftist tyranny is just great, no?

  5. Oh, look! She’s using interpretive dance to create a “safe” learning environment and make the learning “easier” for her “customers”. On the other hand, maybe she got the results of her student evaluation and was “sharing the feedback”.

    At Armpit College, colleagues would get teaching awards for malarkey like that.

  6. Let me guess. She started out in college as an interpretive dance major, but was told she lacked the physicality to make a career of it so she bailed out into an education degree.

    1. And, worse, combined the two.

      Years ago, at Armpit College, I was required to attend a course on “alternate” learning styles. The “facilitator” (someone with no educational background whatsoever and who looked like a stoned Doug Henning) suggested that I teach design concepts with an interpretive dance.

      I knew the guy was nuts, but that told me he had totally flipped his wig. If I had done as he suggested, AC would have had me hauled off to Happy Acres and put on permanent “medical” leave.

      1. And, worse, combined the two.
        Yes, yes she did.

        I am all for improved teaching methods, but it seems so much of “improved methods” are just hippies on acid.
        Soh Cah Toa is a great mnemonic, and I still remember my grade 11 teacher having us repeat it a few times. He didnt make it and himself a laughing stock.

  7. cultural appropriation of colours and patterns from whitey , and poor singing , im hearing more than vowels , aeiou , aeiou. and no four thud drumming .

  8. If someone had tried to get me to do that when I was that age, someone would have gotten something right up their arse.

  9. Kudos to the kid who had the good sense to record that embarrassing display of retardation.

    This country is fubar. I’m so glad my kids are finished school and gainfully employed, and that I’m retired. I’m worried for the grandkids though.

  10. lucky for me lm looking via a public work station and lack sound.
    egregiously offensive already.

    did this lecture supplant the one warning the kiddies that calls from the ‘CRA’ threatening arrest are bogus?
    or the one covering the process A to Z how to buy a used car? has THAT one EVER been taught ANYWHERE in Canaduh?
    if ya know what l mean . . . . . .

  11. looks like a chicken on 5 hits of acid.

    Clearly, she has voluntarily lost her mind, she was even paid to do so.

    If this is the future, there is no future.

  12. Apart from the seriously deranged behaviour, what kind of teacher dresses like that in class? Was it a graduate of OISE?

  13. She’s killing herself to try and get them to remember basic algebra relationships – (SOH CAH TOA) because the modern approach is ‘edutainment’. They actually teach teachers to try and be crazy to try and get kids to pay attention and remember the stuff they should learn. I don’t think it works, but it sometimes does keep them from sleeping in the classroom.

    1. The trend is to make lectures into PowerPoint presentations. The kiddies get copies of the various slides/pictures/frames with a few blanks, which they fill in as the lecture proceeds. Apparently, it allows them to “concentrate” on the learning.

      Uh, no. It makes them bored and they become fidgety because they don’t have anything to do.

      While I was an undergrad, we were busy taking notes off the board and, once we had to actually do some assignments, which gave us an opportunity to review the material.
