Lofty goals

So if you weren’t a high school teacher, what do you think you’d do?

DaddysGirl

Jokes aside, I’ve always wanted to be a teacher

Lame answer but truthful

Suede0989

I want to ask how long you’ve been teaching, but I know I can’t

I think my job will always be working with kids, no matter what

I hate to admit it, but helping those assholes is rewarding

DaddysGirl

Assholes?

Suede0989

Oh I’m sorry that was a synonym

For teenagers

DaddysGirl

Are you being ageist, Mr. Suede?

Suede0989

Not at all. But young people are, statistically speaking, the biggest assholes ever. Selfish, self indulgent, lazy, and unmotivated. They require lots of shaping, like a ball of clay. In the end, it’s worth it, but still, they’re assholes.

DaddysGirl

Not all young people are assholes

Suede0989

Yes they are

But that’s why we grow up

It’s just a phase

DaddysGirl

So you think everyone in their age range is a selfish child?

Suede0989

Yes

I do

She’s a teacher. At a high school. She knows what I’m saying is true. Even the sweetest, nicest kid is still a high school kid. Which means they haven’t grown into problem solving or healthy communication, they don’t know what hard work is or understand struggle. Not yet. And that makes them, by default, assholes.
