I have said something like the fact you were joking does not change the consequences. However, I am extra disappointed that you think that behavior is funny.

Then had to log them all back in and keep them silent for 100 more minutes. This is a class that others say bully me, the teacher.

And I'm supposed to be standing the whole time and not even read.

Evidence that nobody at state Ed is Autistic, ADHD, physical disabled, or all three.

Preface pt3
Could mocking show the ridiculousness of current systems in a way to promote real changes to a system that is undersupported? Schools are attacked by politicians so much, would the mocking be dismissed? But just being positive is hurting so many & I can't do it after this year's trauma

Preface pt2
I feel like Mystery AI Hype Theater does more than mock. It looks at the footnotes and also talks about a better way.

This has been a.syoer hard year of teaching, including students bullying me. The system is failing students & many teachers, not just me.

Preface pt1
Some things are best handled with ridicule. The poorly written fanfic world of AI hype is one. I wonder what else.
As a late gen xer, sarcasm is a go to move for humor. I enjoy MST3K and MAIHT3K podcast. But Daily Show doesn't seem to change minds & seems to make many more entrenched.
