This is genuinely hilarious. I hope they're dressed like greasers too.

Depends wether they flip heads or tails as they put on their school uniforms

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago

I thought we were doing the roaring 20's and not the 50's? I want IT Girls and flappers not coin boys.

I mean this sincerely, eat shit

That sub is genuinely a distilled stew of the clueless cruelty of school teachers in the imperial core

Glad someone is fighting the good fight against the greatest enemies of the proletariat: teachers and bed times

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The sub is legit weird. It's an odd mix of overly-exploited teachers with a kind heart and a good head on their shoulders sharing trauma or challenges or the frustration about systemic issues and then just old-school regan-era "kill the fuckers" type republicans complaining about adhd

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its not that weird when you understand it mostly functions as a vent sub for teachers. I used to be subbed, and it was sometimes cathartic, but eventually it was just too doomery

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I get the venting part, it's just weird to me that the mix doesn't seem to lead to conflicts

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

They're probably used to dealing with almost that exact mix in school when they're in the teacher's lounge.

Lmao, me too. Never mind, carry on comraderat-salute

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago

Its an honourable fight. My teachers made me miserable by bullying the shit out of me and my parents sent me to bed at 7pm until i was 18.

I will continue fighting until teachers and bed times are abolished.

Let's be fair, excessively punitive teachers can really fuck kids over

Yeah it's such a weirdly tight-assed response to some obviously funny tomfoolery. All it would take is for the teacher to be in on it as well. Start flipping your own coin, start calling heads or tails.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Right, the teachers joining in on it and trying to be cool would be the quickest way to make them stop doing it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would literally just get a two heads sided coin and flip it myself.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah it's practically a given that I would flip a coin to determine the lesson plan, then just do what I was going to do anyway because it's not like any of them could see how it landed.

Get a fresh quarter you can feel the orientation of in a closed fist and either flip over onto palm or open your hand to match your call.

E: teach em early why the nfl toss is like that.

Can't wait till they start putting on poisoned lipstick and kissing politicians to death.

Or wearing a big fish bowl over their heads and robbing banks to fund prolonging the life of their cryogenically preserved wives.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They'll start off simple, like asking the teacher riddles, but it'll soon get out of hand

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 years ago

Trying to do Riddler, but its just increasingly problematic Jim Carry impersonations.

Teach the kids GURPS while they're young and have them roll 3D6

Nothing to worry about until they also show up with a cattle gun and ask the teacher to "call it" imo.

As a teacher, I've seen much worse fads than this. This is fine.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean yeah, I'd take a class entirely of "coin boys" over having two Tate fans.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Imagine the cascading tinging sounds of coins tossing up and down all class, with all of them collectively distracted by their adherence to a shared collective habit.

Still way better than even one domestic violence and human trafficking LARPer.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

At least it’s not the kind of coin I was assuming from the title

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

This is chuuni-ism but western. They're harmless kids roleplaying to be cool and completely not understanding that it's not really cool. They're hurting nobody though so ehhh let them be.

Where my coin boys at

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago

I really hope this dies off soon. I haven't seen anything online about this when I googled it, so I'm guessing it's just a local friend group thing, unless one of you has some more info...

It's like the Hexbear signal lit up the sky! hexbear-chapochat We are called!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

I support the coin boys. Concentsus is teach can suck our pennies.

This is a shockingly vanilla fad. Kids were doing this with Batman Forever because Two Face did it. Do better teens.
