>this gets rolled in and the students watch a movie that has nothing to do with the class material
Did this really happen? My school didn't have TVs

I had to watch Beyond Rangoon, about a white woman who witnesses the atrocities committed by the Burmese military against its people. My teacher was an American woman married to a Burmese man so sometimes I wonder if the movie's rape scene is similar to how they met.
we watched City of God and I still remember seeing the teacher scramble for the pause button when the rape scene started. I guess she forgot about it kek.
We watched Bill Nye and Magic Schoolbus.
That and there was this mock crocodile hunter show too
for us uk kids everyone at some point had to watch the macbeth movie where all the witches have their granny breasts hanging out.
oh the polanski one, yeah we had the same in Australia, i actually like that movie tbh.
I was in JROTC in high school. At some point our sarge and captain just stopped caring and started showing movies in class every day(besides the days we’re training or exercising).
That's hot. You must be like a general or something now huh?
Are teachers not paid enough to care?
No, they barely get paid shit honestly.
Yes it did. In my (non-American) country we had to watch loads of American movies like Mississippi Burning, Schindler's List, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, American History X because they suited the teachers'/government's politics
>treating black people with respect is brainwashing
It is if the little Black folk aren't simultaneously taught to treat whites with respect, and women told to treat men with respect, etc.
>people
If it's raining we're 100% watching remember the titans in PE again
Do Americans really just watch TV for school?
Eurotrash detected.
Every time it rained and we couldn't play outside they used to wheel this out in the library and 200 kids would watch a cartoon movie on a screen about this size.
The lunch period lasted 45 minutes and the movie ran for 1 hour 20, so I never got to see how the movie ended and they refused to not show the movie from the start.
There was only one movie. It rained a lot.
Same at my school. The movie was Shrek and even though I've seen it plenty of times before I've seen the first 40 mins hundreds more times.
Growing up in Washington state, the idea of not being let outside for recess as a kid because it was raining is hilarious. There was a large covered area where you could stay out of the rain if you wanted, but nobody cared. They just expected us to wear a raincoat or deal with it.
>Spirited Away
>In English Class
In newspaper class we watched all three Back to the Future.
Happened to me 3 days in middle school. We watched Shrek, Sandlot, and Big Trouble in Little China. Good times.
>pan flute starts playing
Were going on a fricking adventure boys.
Yes, I brought Space Jam.
In 8th grade Home Ec, the teacher said she would treat us at the end of the semester by showing us The Shaggy Dog. She said, "You guys will love this movie, it is hilarious!" It was absolute fricking agony.
In highschool I had a literal creationist Christian as my 9th grade biology teacher. He actually told us at the beginning of the year that he doesn't believe in almost anything that he's going to teach us. One day he says he saw this documentary about evidence of mermaids on TV that he thought was interesting, and wanted to show us. I knew immediately what he was talking about because I'd seen the same fake documentary as well. Obviously I wasn't about to throw away the opportunity, so instead of informing the teacher he fell for a fake mockumentary I just leaned over to the nerdy Asian kid I was friends with who sat next to me and whispered "This documentary is completely fake. I can't believe he fell for it." We were trying not to laugh the entire time because it's so obviously fake with the actors playing fake experts clearly just reading off a teleprompter, and horrible CGI effects. Once it was over and he gave his little speech about how he disagrees with the science but that they could be real I dropped the bomb that it's a fake documentary. The look of embarrassment on his face was incredible. Half the class was snickering and the other half was just stunned presumably because they actually fell for it too.
I saw a teacher get fired as a kid because she brought in a documentary that was about a disabled woman. Well she was like an amputee and was telling stories about her being raped and how her ex tried to kill her. She showed it to 7 year old kids. I went home and told my mom, we got to the school and there was people already there.
What the frick was she thinking?
>fired
good.
Oh yeah, had the cops there and everything. They were talking in the class room and her bf/husband? Caught eyes with me and charged at me, only to get tackled by the cops, he was resisting, she's yelling, and I have a teacher pulling me out of the room.
Ok, now I know this story is made up.
Why would I make it up, the "oh yeah" is me agreeing that it was good that she got fired. You have trash reading comprehension.
Her husband trying to charge at you and being dragged away by police is clearly made up.
>Caught eyes with me and charged at me, only to get tackled by the cops, he was resisting, she's yelling, and I have a teacher pulling me out of the room.
He wanted to attack a child because his gf got fired?
You're right it doesn't make sense. Don't respond to any of his posts.
What about it doesn't make any sense?
You under estimate how fricking dumb people can be. Maybe the guy was on something, but I remember him looking at me, charging, and the cops tackling him.
It's not, I wasn't even dragged away, I was pulled out of the room by another teacher that was in the room with my mom.
Sorry I really don't believe it. Doesn't make sense. You even said other people were already there. Why single you out. Number two, why would he get that upset over teacher getting fired. Number there, why are cops even there? An inappropriate movie? Sorry sounds bs. Good day.
I don't even remember why the cops were there, I just remember them being in the room and taking the guy down. I guess it was just a spur of the moment thing in anger, I have no idea why he went after me but I was initially the kid that complained first. I just went home and said something to my mom and I was tossed in the car and she was hauling there that morning to verbally tear someone a new butthole for showing that to her kid.
I had a fourth grade teacher who came in one day looking all sad and wasn't really the same. For the next week we didn't learn any math, writing, science, etc. Instead all she did was talk about compassion, loneliness, trauma, and mental health. It was a fricking weird week. Wasn't years later we found out she broke up with her boyfriend she thought she was going to marry.
Some teachers just use their students as therapists or friends.
I can't even remember why, but there was nothing before like "Hey, you know, maybe I shouldn't bring this to show elementary school kids"? Especially someone who's disabled talking about how they've been raped, physically abused, and tossed in a pool to drown? That wasn't something kids needed to see, and it's wild that it stuck with me for all these years.
Well, Nanette was very popular at the time.
Early 2000s middleschool kino.
Honestly I don't remember shit about this movie nor do I think we ever actually finished it during one of those "frick it, wheel in the TV cart" days.
This movie is a staple for lazy bum teachers
Good Will Hunting was a 90s equivalent and it let teachers self-insert as inspirational role models
We always watched mr bean in band class at the end of every semester
We had TVs in every room. Use to watch movies during lunch. That's how I discovered shit like Phineas and Ferb
yes at mine. a substitution teacher showing up increased the chance one of these would be rolled in.
I only remember watching Romeo and Juliet and then the news when 9/11 happened
What the frick is that thing? Do boomers really?
wut
Like I said, some moped riding homosexual came in here to talk shit and call me a liar.
It's so fricking pathetic, some dude got his ass beat at a moped rally years ago and himself and other people have been following me around on the internet for years to hide from the fact he got his ass kicked by people that ride mopeds.
I didn't, I was the good guy. We might actually be getting the FBI involved to find out who's doing it, but I already know and have names. We just have to get it started and we're already in talks with an agent that works with their cyber security to help us out with the situation. This person has gone after me and shoved people away from me over shit they can't get over that's all about some dumb shit that they did years ago.
Btw, we're looking at bringing them/him up on federal charges. They kind of hinted at state level but I was like "nah frick that" so when things get off the ground, someone's going to prison for a very long time. All he had to do was stop being a homosexual and trying to hide from some stupid shit he did by going after me.
I already know one of the IP's that fricks with me is right out Richmond,VA. We already got a name and address too.
We had an autistic kid in our class that acted like a dinosaur. He would walk around with his arms like a trex and roar at people. Anyway this bad boy gets rolled in and the teacher announces we're watching Jurassic Park today. John the dinosaur kid goes absolutely mental, he jumps up and starts roaring and flipping chairs and desks. He had to be escorted out of the class and didn't get to watch it with the rest of us
lmao we watched Monster Inc.
And the dumb history teacher kept mispronouncing it "Monster INCH"
Remember when some of your classrooms upgraded from this to the digital projector? And how said new projector could be used for movies?
Even overhead projectors are better than digital.
>still had projectors like that while I was in college
>probably encounter posters half of my age often these days
you really are here forever and there's nowhere else to go
I'm 35 and remember browsing /b when I should've been doing my highschool physics homework.
KINO INCOMING
we watched 2-3 movies a year in class, usually near the end of the semester when we were done with the curriculum. Most were shitty VHS d-production movies from the school library that made us appreciate real movies, but we watched pic related once. Everyone thought it was hella lame with the dialogue, but I loved it and Claire Danes a cute!
Also we watched a bunch of sex ed videos with these hilariously outlandish plots, like a teenage couple getting preggers and spiraling into drugs and ruining their lives cause they had unprotected sex one time.
You can’t really do this anymore. Zoomers are so ADHD-riddled that just leaving them to their own devices will result in some kind of incident you have to deal with. You need a variery of active tasks to keep them engaged.
t. teacher
Do you think playing a fast paced cartoon like fairly odd parents could keep their attention? Or maybe something like Bo-Bo-Bo. Also, kids in elementary school are Gen alpha, the late zoomers are already graduating high school.
whatever it is, there will be a number of students who will get bored and start fricking around. the best way to use videos is with sites where you can insert interactive quiz questions into youtubes. gamify everything.
>movies
>youtube
>computer games
this is why teachers shouldn't be paid more
All you had to do was leave me alone, and be a man about getting your ass kicked at a fricking moped rally.
Sorry, not sorry.
Not sure if anyone here ever stepped foot into a boys and girls club as a kid but I remember watching some movie on some CRT in the gym that was probably more than 10 feet away from where I was, the staff member hyped the movie up so much throughout the entire time I was there that I just felt compelled to stay. Can't remember the name of the movie but it had ice cube in it, and in any case I could hear or see anything so I just lost interest, luckily my parents came to like me up not long afterwards saving me from a horrible experience.
We watched Troy in history class and Lord of the Rings in english.
t. Swedish
>class is only 1 hour long
>have to cut movie short
hate this feeling
