Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This is why I liked college way more than HS. You could bring in a full ass burger combo and chow down during a lecture and nobody gave any shits. As long as you didn't make much noise and the food wasn't too fragrant.

But teachers like this in any level of education can fuck right off. People have shit going on and you don't know their story. Maybe they're diabetic and need something to bring their blood glucose up, or they have some kind of anxiety or other disorder that snacking can help with... As long as they're not disturbing the rest of the class, leave it alone.

A friend of mine use to be a teacher. He sided with the student when the student needed to carry an eppy pen around and the school's zero tolerance policy said the pen needed to be stored at the nurse's office. According to the friend, the principal didn't care about getting sued over a possible student death.

I agree, but that poor person who manages their anxiety by eating is in for a rough time...

Yeah, that would be me.

One semester I had class from 9am to 6pm. Being able to eat lunch in class was a godsend.

Damn, one class was 9 hours??

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

One every hour for that time. (Choir was 2 hours but same difference)
