Haha, my physics teacher in high school puts stickers on tests that were 90% or higher, but one guy in my brothers class who failed almost all his tests, got a sixty on one test so he gave him a sticker. :lol:

What a wonderful teacher, encouraging his students to do better like that, aiding in their future rather than making them feel worse than they probably already do by berating them for giggles. Real role model, that one.

I consider that pretty insulting to anyone in the class who actually works in fast food, which of course would be a common job for high school students. I don't like the implication it carries that such a job should be beneath them. That seems pretty arrogant on the part of the teacher.

I can't say that I've heard of that before. When I was in high school, I had a bunch of old teachers, so they just stared at us like they were pissed.

Meh. I'm in the same boat. But anywhere is better than a fast food place in my opinion.

I can see how it's funny, but to do it to every test is overkill and un-encouraging. I would think a teacher should try to help students instead of poke fun at them.

It's funny only up to a point. if he's giving the same kid this little "reminder" every test, it'll just eventually deplete their self esteem. Once as a nudge in the right direction is one thing, constantly is another.

That's downright hilarious. :lol: I had a high school teacher like that, had a pretty cynical outlook on people who didn't at least make an effort to get ahead in life through getting educated properly. However, it could be in bad taste depending on who gets one... could really easily come off as being a jerk.

It's pretty tight if he does it to people who have tried, but just had a bad day/failed for reasons beyond their control (ie: family issues.) That said, it's downright hilarious if he does it to people who fail by not trying.

Why would the teenagers be offended? Most teenagers work at fast food restaurants because no one else is honestly going to hire a teenager.

if he's a good teacher that makes it easy to learn, then i think it's just his sense of humor maybe, like if it's an easy ass class like algebra and fail a test, maybe he's just jokin ya know

It's trying to say "if you don't get good grades all you'll ever be able to do in your adult life is work at BK". It's not a right-here-right-now thing, it's saying that if you don't graduate you'll never get hired by anywhere better than fast food.
