I would love for a student to write a 670 word essay about the brainrot trends going on when the teacher was a teenager.

....I know a good ear, nose, and throat specialist I could recommend..........I looked it up, saw that it was meaningless so I didn't care if she said it or not. Now that I've had my birthday, I don't hear it anymore.

Ohhh I like that idea.I would love for a student to write a 670 word essay about the brainrot trends going on when the teacher was a teenager.
Grody to the max!!This thread got me thinking...
a new-ish article:
Teen Talk and Linguistic Evolution
and remembering it's not so new:

I love Principal Lamb…lots of wisdom there.
You could just give them an automatic “67%” grade if it continues as well (unless it’s against district policy).I’m a teaching assistant in a 4th/5th special ed class. Some of my kids are seriously delayed in math. We work in small groups according to their levels and one of my groups is struggling through simple long division with remainders. Some of the kids are just waiting for me to say 6 or 7 so they can shout out 6-7 and do the silly hand movement. They scan their papers for the numbers and point them out as soon as they sit down. If I’m showing them something on a number chart or number line, they’re not even listening. They’re just waiting for me to get to 6 so they can start with the nonsense. It’s really become disruptive to learning. I hope it goes away sooner than later!
A professional educator would never do something unethical like that.You could just give them an automatic “67%” grade if it continues as well (unless it’s against district policy).
Our strategy is just to ignore and stay focused on the lesson. Giving it attention or feedback only encourages the behavior.You could just give them an automatic “67%” grade if it continues as well (unless it’s against district policy).
It’s too bad what you teachers have to put up with. In public schools anyway.I’m a teaching assistant in a 4th/5th special ed class. Some of my kids are seriously delayed in math.

Would you be open to telling them that if they complete their work and follow directions, you will give them a special "Six Seven" problem? Maybe make a word problem where the answer 7, R6 and they work together to use different strategies to solve. Are they doing partial quotients yet? If they keep goofing off, then they have to wait until next time for the special problem. This way, they are still working on math but you get a well-behaved group.I’m a teaching assistant in a 4th/5th special ed class. Some of my kids are seriously delayed in math.
