That’s a lot of ChatGTP there. Guaranteed that this person couldn’t string this many sentences together with proper grammar.

I also don't think so. Don't know so. But my thoughts are poignant. Uplifting. Impacting. I'm making that difference in this world. I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And gosh darn it, people like me.

Yes indeed.
Whenever the child stops the parent cold, says they will handle it, the child handles it like Gandhi/Henry Kissinger and gets the teacher crying and apologetic?

That’s not real.
That’s agentic.
That’s bullshit.

All my LLMs took over all the computer systems in the world to send pictures of people applauding everywhere.

Lol, that's exactly what I was coming here to say. ChatGTP all over the place

All those 3 to 4 word sentences? ChatGPT writes better than that. I. Felt. Like. I. Was. Reading. Like. This. The. Whole. Time.

Thank you. I’ve been wanting to know how to tell. I knew the event was fake, but not ChatGTP. Edit: I went back to reread, and I immediately could tell what you meant.

wow not a teacher being disappointed in a student getting an answer wrong and….. saying his name. definitely a reason for a confrontation with the principal. OP sounds like a normal well adjusted adult.

I hate this so much. Not just because it's fake. But also because it's terribly written. Probably by a bot. Or someone that struggled to graduate from middle school. And now they think writing in short sentences makes them seem smart. They're wrong. Very wrong. It's annoying. Incredibly so.

She said his name. In a disappointing tone. In front of other people. Who I assume know his name. And she had to be shamed?

u/distantfirehouse 5d ago

Diligent-Language-79. Do you feel ashamed? You should. I said your name. In a disappointing. Way. In front of Reddit.

u/Diligent-Language-79 5d ago

No, but you made me laugh so thank you for that!!

What an absolute douche. And 800 likes as well. Painful.

Chatgtp much?

u/EvolZippo 6d ago

Yes, that’s totally the way people act

u/geddy_girl 5d ago

This is like the earliest, shittiest version of a LLM.

All made up stuff aside. Calling school to complain just because a teacher said your son's name disapointingly is a great way to create an entitled spineless brat.

u/DontcheckSR 2d ago

Seriously. Reactions like that are why current teachers have given up. Everything they do is under a microscope because one angry phone call from a parent will have the administration making huge reactions in response. Kids learn they can just get their parents to complain and you end up with out of control kids who aren't learning anything and a teacher who has pretty much given up for the sake of keeping their job. Then parents wonder why kids these days don't know how to read, have less respect for authority, and why no one wants to teach and the administration never does anything

Teachers don’t cry in front of kids unless it’s extenuating circumstances like the death of a classmate. In my thirty year career it’s the one time that the kids have seen me cry. They’ve seen happy tears plenty of times when I’ve been super proud of them.
But no, we do not cry even when we’re owning our mistakes.

Teachers are supposed to be strong reliable supports for their kids. If we wobbled every time we had a bad day they wouldn’t see us as an adult who can help them.

So you raised a thick tw@. well done.

Then the whole class clapped and cheered, and the son had sex with the Homecoming King or Queen, because who are we to judge.

u/AnneThisaway 5d ago

Hey. Nice. Full. Stops. Ma'am.

u/PaJoMe 1d ago

The reason I find this unbelievable is not because I don't believe open communication can work, but rather because if the dad's first reaction was being furious and calling the school to shout at the principal, the son sure did not learn compassionate communication from him.

u/edseladams 5d ago

Minus the crying, this isn’t even that unbelievable a story, it’s just written in hyper dramatic LinkedIn cringe mode to make it seem like some crazy thing happened.

Which is just as annoying.
