A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
Genuinely think that every school should have few nonsensical rules just for the purpose that students can break them. A forbidden room, a wall you aren’t allowed to touch, a bowl of rocks you aren’t allowed to pick up or something. The thrill of breaking a rule is something that teenagers should be able to experience and learn how to experience. And there should be genuine, unpleasant consequences for breaking that rule, but not the kind that will affect your academic record. The kind of where it is instans detention because you picked up the forbidden rock. And yes, the teachers will be angry at you.
I think a lot of teenagers (at least in my school) would benefit from learning how to handle the feeling that comes from the fact that: yes, I am suffering consequences for my actions, but it is not the end of the world. I will serve my sentence and then it will be over and I am not a bad person for that.
And also for leanring to recognise that sometimes there are rules that are arbitary and breaking them can be fun and that sometimes there are rules where breaking them might genuinely hurt someone and breaking those is not cool and fun at all.
One of the bigger problems in our school at the moment is that a lot of teenagers have decided that hitting unssupecting others in the face with snowballs (which can be pretty darn hard and sharp in a right weather) is the coolest thing, and one child got a black eye and almost a trip to the hospital for it. And the logic of the troublemakers sounds to be “rules are stupid and boring and I want to be a rebel”. I suspect that if we had a statue or a wall that you weren’t allowed to hit with a snowball under the threath of immediate detention, we wouldn’t have so many human victims.
Also, I genuinely suspect that 90% of our ‘good girls’ would benefit immensely if they at some point ended up accidentally breaking a stupid and artificial rule, had to take detention for it, and then noticed that that was that. No end of the world, no lasting hatred from your teachers, no change of your self just because you fucked up something meaningless.
thought this said god. i guess it’s a matter of perspective
