No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Teachers are not lazy. The institutions charged with supporting teachers are lazy.
all the dumbest people i know became teachers because they wanted a minimal effort job. nobody who was smart and hardworking I've ever met wanted to be a teacher. a lot of party people did though.
not every teach is crappy, but you are ignorant if you think every teacher is some hardworking dedicated person.
That's interesting. My experience has been the opposite. Teachers I currently know are very hard working and want to leave because the pay is shit, and the workload is very high, plus the school boards, administration, etc offload all responsibility into the teachers. The culture of cover your own ass has become toxic. They are not allowed to give a grade of less than a 50% even if the student turns in nothing. The emphasis is to graduate all kids regardless of participation or effort. ACE and other advanced classes are crammed with low performing kids so they can qualify to be tested out of highschool and graduate early. All teaching is geared onlytowards passing the test. Critical thinking is not important, just passing the test. The kids don't care, they all use AI to cheat. Kids who can barely read are getting perfect test scores. The entire education system is fucked, at least in America. I know every district is a little different, and the southern states are even worse. I'm sad to hear your experience is even worse. Other countries have figured this out already, why the hell don't we do what works!
