The Introverted English Teacher
@bethcteach.bsky.social
Reader, writer, & learner who believes in the power of stories & storytelling to create empathy.

25 years as a public school teacher find me enjoying the teenagers and hating the bs.
I played Avowed; fun, pretty, short.
Currently playing Outer Worlds 2; I like the color palette less than Outer Worlds 1, but it’s fun so far.

Watched my kid play Monster Hunters—I prefer single player games, so it’s a nope from me.

Why Expedition? Maybe it’ll be a winter break game for me.

Tried sending my kid to my Alma mater which was 3 hrs away; now she’s back living w/us at a local more crappy school.

Feels safer but isn’t.

My freshman remain absolutely the best; they showed me a video clip.

Seems to be just some Gen Alpha brain rot slang; they like the way the original sounds and his hand gestures are funny to them.

Gotta love being an old that is clueless in the face of their humor; they love explaining it to me!

I teach dual enrollment English; the paper requirements and texts we read are just as rigorous if not more than the community college that grants the credit.

I get observed every semester by the college; they agree the course is equivalent.

I disagree with you.

All these TL skeets about pigs & books remind me of The Chronicles of Prydain’s Hen Wen
