If this were real, one of the kids who admits they have no idea what they’re doing would have already, quite confidently, stolen a pair of scissors from god knows where, cut out every single square, then arranged them in numerical order. Only THEN would they admit to not knowing wtf they’re doing.
A couple of them would have already lost (or “lost”) their worksheet.
Several kids started coloring before being given directions.
If this was real, all three would be punished for asking stupid questions and then get the lowest grade for not finishing the assignment
Teaching children became much easier for me once I realized that I occasionally phase completely out of their perceivable reality.
I’ve learned to coach them through active listening practices to find out what they have even heard for the first time, yet. Regardless of how many times I’ve repeated myself.
They’re basically tripping on acid
Poor kid is just colourblind, undiagnosed.
My highschool friend was colorblind and nearly failed kindergarten. They would ask him to color things red and he’d be like “it’s all red?” and paint the whole page blue
Failed kindergarten? You guys can fail the first year of school, the one where all you do is play with toys and learn how to interact with other children?
My brothers repeated because they had trouble socialising. That was the official reason, but they were bullied and the hope was they could be more assertive given another year. So yeah, they essentially failed that “interact with other children” part.
In my country, yeah you might need to retake it. I mean if you’re not understanding the concept presented why force your passing to have you struggle at you’re second year if school. But that will not be considered failling just retaking.
OK, I think I was just thrown by the use of “passing” and “failing”. Repeating the first year based on development makes sense, but “passing” and “failing” imply you’re taking some kind of written exam and need to qualify for a position!
In my area of the USA what you described would be called preschool which, yes, you can fail. My sibling was held back because they were shy. Here kindergarten is more structured learning like any other grade.
In Britain we have “reception” (when you’re aged 4-5) which is the first year of primary school, and I assumed equivalent to your kindergarten. I don’t recall there being much formal education in the same way as there is for the rest of school, but it was definitely more structured than preschool/nursery/playgroup that you’d go to beforehand.
There was a kid in my class that had to repeat kindergarten. It happens.
I think that should become clear in kindergarten no?
My dad and his brother didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood.
My dad after he wore a horrific shirt at uni, and my uncle after he passed almost all the tests to be a airforce pilot.
Turns out they don’t have colourblind mode for military jets, and colourblindness can be surprisingly well hidden, the brain does everything it can to hide the flaw, you really have to break assumptions to make it glitch out and guess wrong.
Green is not a creative colour!
I’ve seen that around. The first time was some graffiti in the bathroom at college. What is that reference?
Flee, before you find out. Trust me, it’s for your own …San, What’s your favorite idea? Mine is being creative
That sounds really boring.
Oh man, enjoy watching the “don’t hug me I’m scared” series for the first time. It’s a good time, fair warning though that the show can be pretty unsettling so keep that in mind if you’re going to be in an … Uh … Altered state of mind 😉
More unsettling than saladfingers?
More teacher comics, please! 🥲
You let them have more than blue and red on the table. This is what you have done wrong.
“Of course, smartypants. Green is for imaginary and complex numbers, yellow for transcendental real numbers, orange for other irrational real numbers, and brown for rational numbers. If you encounter any other kind of number, I’ll tell you which color to use.”
But all numbers are imaginary. They will color everything green
That one pupil: “What you said was too complexated.” *scribbles green all over page and desk*
Clearly they thought the numbers were imaginary so they colored them both red AND blue which of course makes green. Is it time for recess yet?
Those Blair Witch hands… 😨
This is ridiculous, obviously even is blue and odd is red
Way to summarize a two party system
Not everything has to be this. Please stop.
