I used to do this sometimes when I was a little kid in elementary school. Mostly when I was watching a movie at home though, it actually was really comforting and warm. Fuck it, I think I'm gonna start exploring my shirt cave again.

Christ, what a good metaphor and equally unsatisfying image; the animal crackers fight and die. The animal crackers get consumed by you and become the very earth/teat from whence they perished.

I once asked a kid who was wearing pants like that, "So, how do you run from the cops in that?" He was not amused.

[–]mummerlimn 30 points31 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I grew up in the city, so I've had ample time to get good answers for that. Some of them say "When the cops come, you don't run, you just shoot them.", as if they are really that gangster. Others say, "if you have to run, just do, the pants don't slow me down none." I've heard a couple other variations, but those are by far the most common. In truth most of these kids are trying to fit in with an odd consumerist subculture, and the chance they'll ever have to run from the cops is slim to none because most of them are helping their grandma clean her house. People are stupid.

Some times teachers just give up, they go with the normal procedures of calling home and sending letters home but there is only so much they can do with a person who can't or don't want to pay attention. Also students don't really give a fuck either.

Honestly in some situations sleeping through class might be the best you can hope for. Are they just going to be disruptive if you wake them up? I have definitely known some "students" that would make less of a scene by sleeping.

I was visiting an old friend last month who's now a Los Angeles public high school teacher. He told me 20% of the kids are doing great, 60% are in the middle and can go either way in life, and the bottom 20% in his class are beyond hope (they miss too much school and don't give a fuck). He told me it's the ones in the middle he invests most of his time and energy on.

[–]caltheon 70 points71 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And the top 20% never get the motivation or help to really excel.

[–]tozambo_withyou 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've always thought that this is where gifted and talented programs are really failing today's students. But, it all comes back to funding. If I recall correctly, in my state, school districts are required to provide special needs students the accommodations that they need, but G and T programs are largely left up to the discretion of the district itself. So when budget cuts come around, the top tier students are the ones that get the shaft because it is the students that are getting low standardized test scores that the state wants to see improve. Many of those high achieving students, in my area anyway, are left to seek resources like this because funding has been so drastically cut.

[–]NovaDeez 47 points48 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's probably better to have 60% reach average while the top 20% only make it to above average instead of making sure the top 20% become exceptional while the 60% who had a chance become morons.

I had a history teacher in grade 9 (awesome guy, by the way) who would do the following for even as much as not paying attention to him, much less actual sleeping:

  1. Maintain pace, volume, and tone of speech without letting on
  2. Retrieve sawed-off hockey stick
  3. Casually move close to student's desk
  4. Slam stick down flat against open area of desk
  5. Sound produced roughly equivalent to concussion grenade
  6. Student shits pants

I've done that to someone who fell asleep in a meeting before. We all left the meeting, turned off the lights in the room, then turned off the lights in the hallway. He was only out for about 5 minutes but when he woke up he was convinced it was now nighttime.

Back in elementary school, a particularly mischievous student fell asleep during 'social studies.' When my teacher noticed, she had all the students leave our class-trailer and hide behind things outside, then changed the clock inside to display a time a couple hours after school was over. We all left a few minutes before the bell was scheduled to go off.

When the bell woke him up, we got to witness him realize he had "overslept," and run out of the trailer, looking for anyone to still be around. When he saw a few of us hiding, he figured it out and was sufficiently embarrassed. Didn't fall asleep again.

My sister worked as a teacher at an alternative learning center school (as in, kicked out of public school) in Philly - student sleeping were actually a relief to her because they weren't hurling desks across the room or getting up and crossing the room to smash another girl in the back of the skull with a textbook.

[–]skocian 5 points6 points ago

I can understand that. My best friend works at an inner-city high school and her stories are horrifying. I'm also filtering this through my own experience which was 1) amazing high school 2) amazing teachers 3) amazing parents. Sometimes you have to pick your battles . . . and a battle that involves a desk getting hurled at my face doesn't seem pleasant.

Btw, I work with the professor who came up with this research (unsurprisingly uncited in the spammy infographic) http://www.npr.org/2011/04/25/135575490/sitting-all-day-worse-for-you-than-you-might-think

Seriously. Sitting on the couch doesn't kill, being so fat that you're only able to sit on the couch kills.

That deserves its own thread in this forum. Reading that was definitely a WTF in my brain.

edit: Just decided I'm just going to stand and walk and abandon sitting for the rest of my life.

Be careful! walking and/or standing dramatically increases risk of falling with the potential to cause injury, possibly even death.

It's a dangerous world we live in.

Curious that he stopped short of abandoning the chair altogether and just curling up on the floor. Surely that would've been more comfortable.

That was mean of you guys to pull his pants down. It's not nice to make people look like fucking idiots.

The problem is that you have an entire generation of young men (and some young women) of color who have for all intents and purposes, given up on bettering themselves through formal education. Some have seen their parent (I wrote it correctly) breaking themselves trying to work, only to end up broke and barely able to make ends meet. Others are victims of "learned hopelessness," having seen their parent(s) living a useless existence.

These children are broken; not beyond repair, but broken nonetheless.

For the young men living in the poorer African American communities in particular, they suffer from a society that has all but emasculated intellectualism in their lives and until we can break this mode of flawed thinking and attribution, little else can be done to help them make a better life for themselves.

I've never worn clothes like that, but I've been to boring engineering lectures in extremely uncomfortable seats on very little sleep. Manditory, tracked attendance lectures.

When I got tired enough, I said fuck it all, fuck the students around me, fuck looking weird, I'm going to sleep here and now, and there is no easy way to do this. Time to contort to the least painful position that will also not require me to wake up with my arm pulled out of a socket.

I'm not saying he's justified, just that I'd be a hypocrite to condemn him.

/also, it never worked - always woke up leaning on some limb in some weird way that something would pop and hurt as it readjusted to a joint or socket when I next moved. Despite this knowledge, sleep still trumped pain time and again. Honestly, if I could do it again, I'd bring a god damn pillow.

I took an Altiris training class a few years ago, which cost my employer 2k for the week. There was a woman who would show up and fall asleep in a similar fashion each day. We called her Queen LaSleepa.
