Disco Inferno (lemmy.world)

I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto.

The motto was "l hear, I see, I learn" Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "l hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco

Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"

I used to curse when I taught physics, and the students never once flinched. I was "monitored" by a supervisor who said it was highly unprofessional and disrespectful to cuss during lectures... So I quit.

You're going to insult my intelligence because I use an empathetic "this is fucking important" instead of a foot stomp? Nah bro.

I used to teach math and would occasionally do the same. The students loved it, always got a laugh or at least a grin out of it, which is actually quite helpful to alleviate the pain the material was otherwise clearly causing them.

I’d say as long as it’s not overdone, it can actually be quite helpful as a teaching device, because it shows that you can empathize with your students and recognize their feelings about the subject.

It also demonstrates that the students are paying attention.

Had an english teacher in college use the F word to great effect. He didnt drop it until several lectures in, and made sure to point out how effective it can be if it’s not overused.

Wow dude, you used the hard “X” and everything. Not cool man, not cool!

having been showered with shorts from that one powerplant engineer who starts with "you want to see something cool?", it's very clear that if my teachers had casually cursed and joked about "shafts" and shit my attendance would have been much improved.

There's something about someone who obviously knows what they're doing swearing with passion about their subject that makes it so much easier to understand.

Oh, I love that guy! He's hilarious and educational.

Infact we should go out of our way to swear because it's the fucking advertising companies that pedal the ad friendly, PG internet and if you don't support that, you're harming their ability to advertise by swearing.

I'm going to say fuck twice every time I see it censored. Fuck.
