My retard principal told me that I couldn't teach this material to my high school class because it's "stuff only white people care about."
who's to stop you? just go up to the front of the class and start teaching. staying in a school that doesn't teach what you want to learn doesn't really matter to you, does it?
If the school kicks me out I'm not liable to be hired elsewhere, plus the entire district is full of nagger worship so it's not like anywhere else is gonna be cool with this.
I'm still totally gonna teach it, I'm just mad that I'm the only teacher who gives a shit about this stuff.
>unironically being a teacher in 2023
>and a fucking public one at that
Kind of asking for this sort of nonsense, anon. Things were bad when I was still in school and I graduated in 2017. At this point you must be some sort of esoteric masochist to still put up with the Everest sized pile of bullshit.
That one is sort of more abstract than the other two, which are quite literally some of the most famous paintings in the world.
I know, but it's what I'm qualified to do, and I enjoy the work. Plus I'm young and this is only a temporary job.
Idk nigga, but he's one of the most important artists of all time.
how bad is it I don't know the third painting, I know everything else on the list
t. zoomie
It's a Picasso, and it's not so bad. It's a famous painting, but it's not one I'd expect everyone to know. I picked it because I think my students would be more likely to get it right by recognizing the artist's style than by just remembering having seen it in the past, which would help me better understand their mental faculties.
oh, I would've said Picasso because the artstyle was so reminiscent but I thought the countries above were related to the artists... I might be retarded
in my brain I was like 'Picasso was from Canada? Wasn't he spanish?'
Did you also think Da Vinci was from China?
god no I just only made the instant connection with canada because I'm a burgerfag so it was the most recognizable of the three
>Picasso
Wasn't he a commie who raped his daughter?
Use Dali.
wasn't Dali a total freakshow?
Dali was an egomaniacal conman
>egomaniacal conman
I'll take that over commie rapist.
Every artist is an egomaniac.

Haha...Haha...ha... Yeah.
>9
Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Mc beth
The Titanic started construction in 1909. That is like a 44-year difference. 1865 was when the American Civil War ended.
Are these questions supposed to be hard? Anyone can do this shit, is your principal saying naggers are all retarded?
Not an American, but a polsci student.
>1. Who was Aristotle and why is he important?
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher. He's important because classicists really like to shill outdated, old thinking for no reason other than muh classics and aesthetics.
Read Nietzsche, Camus or Kierkegaard if you're a modern person.
>2. Explain the Pythagorean theorem.
c^2=a^2+b^2
If you know how to work with equations, you can fnid a or b as well. All of these are sides of a right triangle and would not work with different triangles.
>4. What is an atom?
An atom either a Greek unit of which the world is composed (Atomism) or a physical particle consisting of protons, neutrons and electrons, which, in different quantities, create new types of atoms.
>5. Name these three countries (picrel)
China, Russia, Canada.
>6. Why is the year 1865 important to American history?
I'm not certain, but I believe it's the year the US Civil War ended.
>7. Who were the axis and allied powers in WWII?
Axis:
Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia (temporarily), Japanese client states in China, Hungary, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro.
Allies:
The Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Greece, Poland, China (including warlords), the Philippines, various British colonies, New Zealand, Australia, Turkey
>8. How does Congress pass a law?
No idea. Members of congress present draft legislation, debate and vote on it? I have no idea.
>9. Name three plays by William Shakespeare.
Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet.
>10. Identify the artists of these paintings (picrel)
Leonardo da Vinci, I don't remember the painter for this, but the name is Starry Nights and the third one I can't say, but it's a Cubist painting.
Aristotle is just as good as those philosophers. I don't know Kierkegaard that well though
I'm not saying he's a bad philosopher, but in HS I felt a strong bias towards ancient thinkers as if they are the greatest. Yes, they laid the foundational work for many philosophical ideas, but we should focus on new ways of thought from people who lived rather similar lives to us.
I generally believe we shouldn't, in HS, study specific philosophers so much as we should study philosophies themselves. Realism, idealism and so on. This is a much better way of introducing philosophical concepts that might make HS students actually interested in philosophy.
Fair enough. I agree for the most part. Nietzsche is probably my favorite philosopher aside from Aristotle, and his teaching are much more applicable to modern man.
I think what is most interesting about Nietzsche is his creativity, particularly in actually composing his philosophical works, which don't necessarily feel like pure theory. Compare Thus Spoke Zarathustra to Aristotle's Politics.
It's a bait thread, come on.
>He's important because classicists really like to shill outdated, old thinking for no reason other than muh classics and aesthetics.
Aristotle was to philosophy what Newton was to mathematics, have some respect
I've been making a list of the most important people of all time. The first couple spaces are all religious figures, but Isaac and Newton are probably right after them.
>Isaac and Newton
huh? oh Asimov
I'm retarded, I mean Aristotle and Newton
it's okay anonymous, I'm retarded sometimes too
share the list
Right now it's
1. Jesus Christ
2. Confucius
3. Muhammad
4. Siddharta Guatama
5. Aristotle
6. Isaac Newton
7. Christopher Columbus
8. Martin Luther
9. George Washington
After Aristotle it becomes a lot more fluid, I'm sure I could swap those bottom few around and add other people more important than them, but I can't really think of how right now
>Starry Nights
Vincent Van Gogh and his life were very very shitty
>1
>About a man who helps people think
> Principal refuses to teach this because of white people
This is what I call an actual NPC
I swear on my life that this actually happened. He was more receptive to the math and science questions as well as the Congress one, but Aristotle in particular annoyed him.
