#2That teacher started teaching at about the time a friend of mine started schooling to become a teacher. She came across her own grade school teacher who inspired her to make that career choice and thanked him.
His response to hearing that she was going into the field was to look her straight in the eyes and say "For your own sake, get out."
She became a teacher anyway and a few years ago told me "he was right, I should have listened."

#3I'm fairly confident that's a fake story written by AI.
10 em dashes, and ai formatting.
Almost every sentence ends with a dramatic punchline.
>Watching a child sound out their first sentence felt like magic.
It's remarkably written for that viralness.
>My name is Mrs. Clara Holt, and for four decades, I taught kindergarten in a small Denver suburb. Today, I stacked the last box on my desk and locked the door behind me.
What human would transition like this in something so well written for viral spread?

Someone else asked Grok; but nah, that's not even tinkered with AI, that's just copy and paste AI.
The thing that interests me here. Copy Pasta just got a huge upgrade with AI; or perhaps another viewpoint is that copypasta is dead. You dont need to copy pasta anymore because of AI.

#6Teachers have been saying that since I started kindergarten in 1980. It's kind of lost its bite for me by now.

Yes. That was so obviously written by ChatGPT (probably 4o or 5-instant) that I have a very hard time taking it seriously, i.e. believing that there's a real person behind the words. My immediate assumption is that it's engagement-bait.
It could be a real person that used ChatGPT to edit their work, or take a paragraph and turn it into a little essay, but I dunno...

#8Many, many years ago, in high school. Grade 12, advanced math, first day, and the wrestling coach walks in. We only knew him as the wrestling coach and the advanced math bunch wasn't exactly gym jocks. Ho ho ho. Someone for fun tackled him from behind. He effortlessly swung him over his shoulder and deposited him on the table. And he was a really good math teacher too. Who knew?
Fun times. You can kill this sort of spirit dead with excessive bureaucracy, metrics and lawsuit culture. Luckily for me, that wasn't a thing yet, back then.

Not to mention a teacher is retiring after 45 years? In what fucking world? Unless she invested heavily in nVidia I guess.
