The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.
There is not a large number of people who think children should be made to spend 100% of the time at school, including being made to sleep there. People are interpreting that person’s obvious sarcasm seriously so they can be upset about i t. Not necessarily intentionally, they may just be dense. But that’s what they’re doing.
Look up the ‘troubled teen’ industry. You will be shocked an appalled.
No, I won’t, because that has nothing to do with what the person was saying.
It has EVERYTHING to do with what that person is saying - ‘troubled teens’ is just how many of them justify abuses. Normal teenage behaviour, or even signs of LGBT+ or autism/ADHD are enough to get you sent to one.
No it has absolutely nothing to do with what that person said. That person was making a fucking joke and you are running wild with it like a crazy person. Cut it out.
I’m just saying it’s possible he was 100% serious, like flat earthers and anti-vax. It’s possible to be 100% serious and completely idiotic at the same time
Okay but it’s 1000x more likely they were making a joke so why are you acting like they being serious was the most likely option?
I didn’t make any commentary about how likely one or the other is, I just said ‘some people genuinely believe these things’. I don’t know them, I don’t know you, what I do know is that there are people out there that actually believe this stuff and actually send their kids to them all because they had the nerve to answer back.
You’re right, it’s far more likely they’re a sane person being sarcastic, but Poe’s law is a very real thing. Because some people actually sound like this.
