Kids and School: Cool

Cool

By indi1011 - 20/04/2009 12:21 - Australia

Today, I was giving a presentation to a group of high school kids about how being 'cool' wasn't as important as they might think. When I was done I asked for questions. A kid says, "Miss, I get that you're not into being cool, but you're wearing your pants inside out." He was right. FML

Today, I taught a high school class on public speaking. When I explained how important it was for a presentation to be polished and professional, one kid asked, "Is it professional for your skirt to be tucked into your underwear? I didn't know they made My Little Pony panties for adults." FML

Today, I was giving a talk in class, when halfway through someone pointed out that my pubes were sticking out my trousers. FML

Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML

Today, while I was giving a school presentation about life as an injured, deformed soldier, someone asked if the reason I wear an eyepatch is because I'm a pirate. I wouldn't have minded, had I not been presenting to high-school students. FML

Today, at work, our new cute intern asked me if I could explain my work. Taking a cool posture sitting on her desk I explained. After 10 minutes I walked away, only to hear her laughing with the girl next to her. Turns out my fly was open. And I didn't wear underwear. FML

Taking pictures

Today, I was teaching a high school calculus class. I wrote a complex formula on the board. As I wrote, students asked if they could take a picture of the board and circulate it. I said yes, and I was pleased as everybody seemed to be taking pictures. Soon, I realized why: my skirt was tucked into my underwear. Within a few minutes, every student in the school had an email with a picture of my ugliest pair of floral-printed panties. FML

Today, it was the first day of school, and I split my pants. In a full class. While on a stage. I'm the teacher, and I wasn't wearing underwear. FML

Today, I gave a presentation to a class of 70+ people. No one bothered to tell me my fly was unzipped. No wonder they were all smiling. FML

Today, students were permitted to wear costumes at my school, but only about half of us did. In 4th period a guy asked me, "What are you supposed to be?" I wasn’t wearing a costume. FML

Today, I got to take my 10-year-old son to the junior high school at which I teach. When my students questioned him about what I was like at home, he told the entire class: "Well, she farts all the time." FML

But the cool thing in the future (2015) is that kids wear their pants inside out.

41: Sarcasm, dear. At least, my accusation of fakeness was. I actually completely agree with you, people calling FLMs fake really need to get lives. 50: because it creates exclusive social cliques of cool people, which in turn creates outcast nerdy people, which is theoretically bad.

It's hard for me to tell whether to agree that your life is ******, or if you deserved it. Because seriously, they are both apt statements.

You idiot, being cool isn't in and of itself important; but being cool is a mixture of 3 things- personality/intelligence, athleticism and good looks, and wealth. All 3 of these things are crucial in determining how successful you will be later in life, at least to an extent. Also, somebody who is naturally cool, outgoing, funny, popular, friendly, etc. is going to be able to get farther in life, than if he was just a boring guy. And some anti-social people could have almost straight A's and not get anywhere, because nobody likes them, and nobody wants to help them get ahead! In conclusion, being "cool" may not be AS important as other factors, but it CERTAINLY isn't something that should be disregarded. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "The single most important skill for a man to have is the skill to get along well with others", for if he can do that, then everything else follows from that- teachers give him more attention, friends give him gifts and money, people protect him in fights, the boss likes him and wants to give him a raise, coworkers wont complain about him much if at all even if he does wrong things, etc. PEOPLE WANT TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY REALLY LIKE, GET AHEAD! IT'S HUMAN NATURE! IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO LIKE YOU, YOU WILL GET AHEAD!

She's right, you know, I wasn't the most popular kid in high school but I'm now Freshman in college and I'm definitely a hell of a lot more popular here than a year ago. And we all know being "cool" is just a popularity contest. In high school at least.
