Ya know, as a gay trans teacher who is apparently a danger to children by existing -

Like, me being gay and trans was completely irrelevant to what I was doing? I taught stoichiometry. Sometimes I mentioned I had a husband, because students will do absolutely anything to distract from the task at hand and ask five billion questions.

But there was never a “hey I’m the gay and we are going to learn about the gay and I’m going to test you about the gay.” I didn’t have time for that shit even if I wanted to. I want to teach fucking stoichiometry.

Right?? Like, try squeezing in some ideology into a full-time college curriculum, I dare you! Students barely have time to sleep and eat. 😂 Fucking right-wingers, man.

Wait, you didn't tech them about cis/trans bonds??

Not in high school chemistry. If they ended the year remembering the difference between ionic and covalent I was happy. (If they could remember polarity, I’d feel so much dopamine that I might as well as shot heroin)

Before I look it up... Ionic is weaker and covalent shares an electron? 5th grade chemistry was a long time ago.

Edit: Hey yeah ions are created by taking or giving up electrons. Covalent bonds share them.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yup! You got it. Ionic bonds are like magnets, and covalent bonds are glued together by electrons.

Weird, I did in high school (in a STEM major, if you'ld call it that)

My state is 49th in education, and we are trying to be 50th. I tutor now, and would say only half the chemistry classes in the state get past balancing equations.

Stoichiometry was very fun to learn, especially about the concept of moles and how its value was derived. Incidentally my AP chem teacher was gay and no one gave a shit about it, he was a really cool sensible dude.
