A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I remember in highschool once, someone got caught with weed, so the school got the cops to come in and check everyone's bags, I always had a bong and a small bag of weed in my bag, because I was a dumbass stoner kid, but the universe had my back and I was sick for the 3 days this all happened, I got back to school and was the only one who didn't get screwed over.
They did a dog walk of the parking lot once at my school and caught an art teacher and an administrator.
It was hilarious.
My art teacher was stoned all the time, me and some mates were skating at the school during the holidays, none of us had weed, then we smelt it, looked up and he's there smoking a bong just inside of the window in the art room, I don't think he saw us lookin, not sure, he was a space cadet that dude.
D.A.R.E. definitely sparked my interest in drugs
One of my sociology professors was involved in a project to assess the effectiveness of DARE. She found that it was slightly effective with one group -- 8th grade boys.
Of course, her findings didn't fit the 80s narrative, so her study was shelved and the LAPD was happy.
Here's how you do drugs, but PLEASE DON'T DO DRUGS. But here's how anyway.
Like, if you're gonna tell me not to do something, why give me instructions on how to do said thing?
I had no idea how to free base or make a pipe out of a lightbulb until I saw that DARE video.
That’s the same logic people use to remove things like sex ed, discussion of lgbtq, or even racism use.
If we don’t talk about the thing then it won’t happen, or, if we talk about the thing then the kids will want to or know how to do it.
DARE was pretty stupid, though. And i’m sure I have a DARE labeled pencil or two in the bottom of a box somewhere still.
That's because you have to try to know why you cannot do it. You can say all the words you want that you cannot do something but a teenager won't learn unless you give it to them and demonstrate the debilitating properties.
My school of kids education is by practice and not by empty boring talking for hours. We talk about drugs? Sure here are all the samples see why exactly they are bad on your own.
Kids do not learn just because you talk to them 50th time the same thing, they learn when they touch, taste and smell.
This is why I aspire to be a future educator, because my methods are actually working as opposed to the shitty current standard that gave us flat earthers and anti vaxxers.
Earth is flat? We call Bezos and do a trip to space for 4 worst behaving kids. Vaccines are a hoax? We unleash the smallpox and showcase that these kids who vaccinated survived.
Mmmkay
Police business was down.
