DO NOT

FORCE SHY KIDS

TO TALK.

DO NOT

TELL SHY KIDS

THEY NEED TO PARTICIPATE MORE.

DO NOT

MAKE PARTICIPATION

A GRADE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW HARD IT IS

FOR SOME STUDENTS

TO JUST RAISE THEIR HANDS?

FORCING THEM INTO GROUP PROJECTS

AND MAKING THEM TALK

DOES NOT “TEACH THEM TO BE SOCIAL AND DEVELOP INTO WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS” 

IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.

AND MAKES THEM HATE SCHOOL.

SERIOUSLY.

COLLEGES TOO.

THERE IS NO REASON TO REQUIRE A PARTICIPATION GRADE.

IF I’M MAKING 90′S ON ALL MY TESTS/QUIZZES

IT MEANS I KNOW THE DAMN MATERIAL YOU TAUGHT

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU LOWER MY GRADE 10% JUST BECAUSE I DIDN’T TALK ENOUGH.

I SWEAR IF I GET ANOTHER “B” IN A CLASS THAT I EXCELLED IN JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT FEEL LIKE RAISING MY HAND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

I MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL U  

Have you ever wondered where books come from?

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

image

See how they happily line up to put them on:

image

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

image

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.

As a Publishing Professional I can say that this is 10000% accurate, and I am a little concerned you’re just giving away all of our industry secrets on Tumblr.

American kids are often told anyone can grow up to be president — but if you’re 10-year-old Alena Mulhern, that’s just a big fat lie. Rather than accept it, she’s taken on the herculean task of changing it.

Yes 👏🏼 girl 👏🏼 preach 👏🏼 it 👏🏼

now i do have a problem with this, the whole reason we have that article is to protect american interests. she wasn’t born here, and no matter the fact that she came over so young, as did lots of other young children that still can’t be president. even Britain has that clause, its the point of the fact that you are natural born of the country. its not trying to be racist, and in fact anyone can hold any other profession in government, but the presidency. its been that way since we founded, I’m sorry that that little girls dream isn’t ever going to happen but so many other have that dream as well and they just understand, i can’t hold the governor position in texas because, guess what, i wasn’t born in texas, i understand, and i still love texas, I’ve been in texas the same amount of time she has been in america( i moved form oklahoma to texas at the age of 7 months) but because i wasn’t born here than i just can’t, don’t get me wrong I’m all with changing with the times, but this isn’t something that requires being changed to update with the times. she’s not a natural born citizen and therefore she just can’t hold that position, she would have faced the same obstacle had she been adopted into a British home. its not just and american prejudice, its just something that has been in place to keep the interest of the country in the hands of someone who is born here, instead of having other influences. the voting system help make sure that, out of the natural citizens, that the one elected is theist for the country.

Are you fucking kidding me? Like, no, Shakespeare wouldn’t tweet a sonnet cause 140 characters is a bit short for that. Wrong medium. But you know what he would have? A very active twitter FULL OF DICK PUNS AND YOUR MOM JOKES okay. (And probably also a blog for the sonnets and longer works, that cross-posts links to twitter anyway.)

Get out of here with that pretentious anti-technology bullshit.

He’d rock the fuck out of memes. Don’t deny it.

Exit, pursued by a doge.

much run wow 

I don’t understand people who try to make Shakespeare into a pretentious thing cause he was basically an uneducated dick-joke making dude for the common masses. His historical plays are straight up fanfiction. There’s a scene in Macbeth where two guards are having a conversation as a dude pees on a wall. Get out of here with your Shakespeare snobbery.

ALL OF THIS

Also, the comment ‘Exit, pursued by a doge’ alone makes this worth reblogging 😀

Heck, the line that’s based on, “Exit, pursued by bear”, only exists because Shakespeare couldn’t think of any other way to get rid of the character, so opted to have him attacked by a bear, which did not exist in the play before that moment.

He literally made a bear appear out of thin air, just to kill off a character, purely due to writer’s block.

“And then the bear gets him”

“…

…

The

The bear?”

“Yes the bear”

“Will

Will there isn’t a bear in this play

Where did the bear come from”

“A PLACE

And he exits the play pursued by it

It’s happening make me a bear costume”

“it’s happening make me a bear costume” lmao

Shakespeare even wrote Yo Mama jokes, like this delight from Titus Andronicus.

CHIRON: Thou has undone our mother.
AARON: Villain, I have done thy mother.
