Wikipedia is the shit. Just use it as source not proof of everything.
alexandrialonekitty
You're kidding me, One of my bullies was a teacher. Plus she kept harassing the boys, I was in 8th grade
CompassBear
In 5th grade a teacher's aid laughed when a kid (who was a constant bully of mine) made a joke about me. Some people should not be teachers.
Dyslexicbirch
Did you tell your parents
NickRivieraMD
Yo if your asshat classmates didn't stick their gum to all kinds of shit instead of throwing it away we wouldn't freak out about chewing it
Mercenarity
Having seen the chairs and desks flipped over at the end of the semester, ew. But not as gross as the restrooms in every single grade.

Hope teachers are better today, because back in my day they didn't give a shit about kids, but still ranted about noble work and better pay.
BrokenAnimal
The reason for the ban on chewing gum in class is because some asshats insist on sticking it under the desk instead of in the trash.
exosystems
1) as a teacher, I resent this 2) I often encourage my students to read Wikipedia articles before beginning research to gain a little unders
Ulthirm
As a janitor, that antigum policy tended to end up with more gum being on the desks and floor than before...
vulturedoors
Citing Wikipedia in a paper was an immediate zero grade on my college courses.
codenameRadical
A study has shown that wikipedia is more accurate and reliable than proper encyclopedias
GadenKerensky
If it's something to do with science, it's more than likely to be correct. If it's about people, yeah, that's a bit trickier.

Bruh, I had a loooong chat with my students today

As teacher it surprises me when my coworkers turn the other cheek on blatant bullying. And then im the bad guy for stopping it. :/

My college professor told us Wikipedia is one of the best resources available to you.
MooMooGoesTheFish
Same! But for me it was more take note of what wiki says, but follow the references they use.
DukeDarkwood
Resource, yes. Reference, no. Its own information is not from itself; when using it to get references, look at where they got the info from.
Howmanyusernamesarealreadytakenthisisinsane
It is, especially to educate yourself in science.

DavidBrooker
I give my students the opportunity to make a substantive edit to Wikipedia to drop their worst assignment. I like Wikipedia. However, 1/2
DavidBrooker
citing Wikipedia is problematic because it's an *encyclopedia*, not because it's bad. You should be avoiding *all* tertiary sources. 2/2
DavidBrooker
It's like citing the dictionary. You do not need to cite the dictionary. Problems like permanence are pretty easily solved.
DidgeryDrew
Teacher, here. We do what we can, but when it becomes a game of he-she said and we have to get to class, things can happen slowly.
ThaDizzle
Well considering teachers cant touch or raise their voice at kids these days i can see why they dont care. I got my ass spanked in school
tomyironmane
This is why I would not last as a teacher. I wouldn't shout, but I still have Marine NCO voice. And I can speak loudly. Without shouting.
tomyironmane
And I would likely put them in a situation where they could lay hands on me or do as I say. Then beat them down if they laid a finger on me.
PacoBootsySanchez
You can tell your professor is a g when they tell you to use Wikipedia to get refs
WulfgangKeiser
When wikipedia first came out in 2001, I was one of those that used the references at the total bottom. teacher couldn't prove we used it.
NarutoSexyJutsu
Though I’m only a preschool teacher, this is the shit I don’t stand for. Once it’s unfriendly, someone’s apologizing and sitting on the wall
tomyironmane
"Only?" The hell, you're the first line of defense. Rectify the problem when they're young and set a good example, and it won't be a problem
tomyironmane
And stop letting people tell you you're "Only" anything. It may not be a big step, but every step is important.
tomyironmane
You do a good job, and other teachers have an easier day.

Wikipedia makes a great source. A great source to find actual sources
Igotbeatwithjumpercables
Yeah just look in the courses section at the bottom.
MoreAshyThanLarry
As a professor I endorse this statement.
echonite
Us Wikipedia and cite it's sources as your own. Done and done.
GangstaGoose0
1/2 I once found an au history fanfiction site as a source for wikipedia article, and read it for about half an hour before I realised it
GangstaGoose0
2/2 wasn’t real. It all seemed pretty legit until “Then 3 KGB agents walked in and shot Khrushchev dead”. Ngl i was pretty miffed
cousteau
Yeah but you need to at least make the effort to follow the references. Still better than linking to Google (yes that has been the case)
flashtrigger
all my research starts on Wikipedia. Key is to not end there
CthuluAlmighty
Depends on how much I care tbh
DickPicEnthusiast
My college papers are filled with references I got from Wikipedia. The key is not citing Wikipedia, but citing the article's sources.
secretagentdoubleobeaver
The founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, even says not to use Wikipedia as a source
DickPicEnthusiast
Jimmy Wales can go choke on a dick, if it's 11 pm and it's due tomorrow morning, I'd use my own grandma as a source.
echonite
She would be a primary source though, so no biggie.
StunnedGoofy
I don't know... Isn't it actually like a modern encycloPEDIA? Like, grandparents used books, now we are using internet-BOOKS. Nothing wrong.
thrymn
The difference is the quality of the source was known based on the specific encyclopedia. Wikipedia's sources can range so wildly based
thrymn
2/2 on how frequently (and properly) it's subject is maintained. It's safer to take the wiki with a grain of salt and evaluate the sources.
Squidwardsnose
Just do what I do and find all the info on wiki, then google some random shit related to the topic and post those as your sources.
Lobuttomize
It's a modern WIKI meaning anyone can throw in anything and add a citation to something not supporting what they said
donttemptmeokay
I was bullied many times in 5th grade and the teacher did nothing.
makelthappen
Whoever uses wikipedia as their source instead of going to the source page of wiki is a noob at writing papers
kenkennethfromconnecticut
Wikipedia is actually credited, so...
kenkennethfromconnecticut
*accredited
Igotbeatwithjumpercables
Yes. But if you can confirm with at least 3 other credible sources then what's the big deal?
idownvoteplottwist
If you're confirming with three other credible sources why don't you just cite those
MattJewDunkin
Thats three sources you got to write out and cite correctly compared to 1.
makelthappen
I don't do it because there isn't enough, I do it because of teachers and professors
Lilly64
The real secret is to reference the sources that are behind paywalls that your professor won't buy access to check what they said
idownvoteplottwist
You know that the uni pays for full access for anyone connected to their internet right
ElJefeLives
Yeah but in high school they give you only one database that hardly has enough resources
makelthappen
lol

if you're in school chances are you can access those sources for free

You're an invaluable asset to this organization, please let me offer you an upvote for your trouble
mycatsanarsehole
You obviously haven't interacted with many teachers. Anti bullying is a very big deal in schools and do you really want gum on everything??
SexualConsent
Clearly you and I had very different teachers
mycatsanarsehole
As a student i was bullied by 1 of my teachers. As a teacher i realise there is always a dickhead for every 1000 dedicated educators
tomyironmane
depending on the school, it may be more like 50-50.
mycatsanarsehole
I doubt that very much. I dont know you or your situation but that seems like a highly biased point of view.
tomyironmane
No more unlikely than the 0.1% previously cited. We generally used the 10% rule in the Marine Corps. 10% of any organization is shitbags.
iamthisguy247
Question: do they not care about bullying, or do they feel helpless due to the rules in place from the schools?
twominutesforhighsticking
It's also not a teacher's job to worry about it--they report it to the school social workers. We can't hold teachers responsible for --
twominutesforhighsticking
the education and welfare and safety and health of all the kids. It's too much for one person to do, for how many kids they see a day.
CactusFantastic0
I flip my shit at students when they bully. 0-100. Like, I anti bully so hard I’m probably a bully to the bullies. I get livid
aesthesia1
Usually dont seem to care or rather not get involved
ElmyrDeHory
There are teachers that find bullying useful. Motivational. Making "nerds" eager to learn. To think "I will show you, someday!". This is sad
cheesenipper
Some teachers really care and they get twitchy and murderous if they see their kids get bullied. Some couldn't give two shits.
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
I think most of the time they don't even realize a student is being bullied. At least in high schools, it can be really hard to spotbullying
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
It's often done in subtle things that could be mistaken for 2 friends messing around, when in reality one of them isn't in on the joke
rooik14
Depends on the teacher. Some are just ineffectual at actually handling bullying while others don't care and others don't know what to do.
DatDarthCaedus
Some are also just fucking assholes that should never have been allowed to become teachers.
cracklinoatbran
Some find it easier to punish the bullied kid when he finally stands up for himself.
atleastIwasnt36
I always intervene. Did today. A big push in our schools about anti-bullying
tomyironmane
Good. When I was sentenced to school... they didn't give a flying fuck. In fact, they usually targeted the bullied kids too.
tomyironmane
"Potential school shooters" they said...
ruferto
sentenced to school, i like that
iamthisguy247
As a parent thats how I feel. They act like theres nothing that can be done, then call me to tell me my kids not playing nice with the bully
tomyironmane
Here is what you do. Start a log. Every time the poor kid gets bullied and the teachers do nothing. Present the data to the administration.
iamthisguy247
Yeah, that's basically what I started doing. I logged every last thing my daughter told me and shared it with the teacher. We are thankful>
tomyironmane
Ask them what is to be done? Ask them if they are capable of performing their jobs, to keep your kid safe and properly educate them?
MiZfUnKy45
There are 30-40 students in classrooms and its not like they do in front of teachers, or fess up when they are told on and the he said she..
MiZfUnKy45
..said isnt something teachers have the time to figure out while trying to manage the class and lesson in 40 min
MiZfUnKy45
Otherwise every single teacher I worked with would absolutely deal with it when they were aware of it.

Teachers when you ask if you can instead of if you may

Sometimes my kids ask if they may use the bathroom. "I don't know, *can* you?"
Igotbeatwithjumpercables
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
I nearly got suspended in like 11th grade because I was fucking exhausted and a teacher pulled that shit. I said "Yeah I can" and walked out
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
Never back talked teachers before (or since) but damn I had IBS and needed to GO
SexualConsent
My English teacher used that on me, so I just walked out of the classroom. He was a cool teacher so it didn't really matter that much
iamthisguy247
"I don't know, CAN you?"
hard9649
Had a sub pull this my freshman year. I just said yes and walked out. She wrote an angry note for my actual teacher but luckily she was cool

About it and just laughed it off

People need to piss. Don't delay that, because people that need to piss are not in a position to find things humorous.

Got a bad cut on my leg one day cuz i tried to be cool and jump over the desks metal bar and landed on the basket instead, asked to (1/2)
FwdSlashRoot
My friend would get the response “Well, can you?” And he’d just be like “Yeah I can” and walk out to the bathroom.
mycatsanarsehole
If they are an english teacher then that is their job.
EdgarTheFlatulent
comma after teacher and it's "than"
mycatsanarsehole
What drugs are you on? Or did you reply to the wrong comment?
Kakapos
It’s “then”.

“Can” has always expressed permission. No idea when teachers decided it didn’t.

Wrong. Can implies ability, may implies permission.

mycatsanarsehole
Whether you understand it or not its still incorrect. Would you be happy with teachers teaching incorrect material??
rooik14
It's not incorrect if it's popular usage. Or when someone said Goodbye should you correct them and say "Don't you mean God Be With Ye?"
mycatsanarsehole
An english teachers job is to teach english, not popular usage. Goodbye is part of the english language. Deal with it.
