ngl since looking into like different types of pens ive come to really appreciate german school supplies. like we use fountain pen ink by default (using either fountain pens or ink-rollers because they have standardised cartridges while for instance ballpoint pens do not (they're essentially disposable
similarly apparently the reason we were forced to only use specifically "royal blue" ink is because thats the only one that can be erased using those little solvent pens we had. other ink colours just get smudged by them
like ya know what? good on you. i wish teachers had known enough about this to explain the reasoning behind these decisions to 11 year old me baffled at why im being yelled at for using green ink

like a simple "andere farben gehen nicht mit tintenkillern weg" wouldve resolved this and instead i was just annoyed at that interaction for over a decade

@coolbean that's how you can tell proper teachers from quereinsteiger, quereinsteiger will be miserable and think you're a retard unless you ask questions

@snacks reminds me of a couple years ago in the abendschule where i desperately needed to ask our teacher (actually an engineer by trade. not a maths teacher this was like a side thing to him) a question but i was legitimately too scared to so i just kinda sat there dissociating for 2 hours and he probably thought i was utterly fucking retarded

@snacks in my defense "i forgot how to do long division on paper" is a pretty fucking embarassing one so he probably wouldve thought that regardless
i still struggle to remember where the comma is supposed to go when its not readily apparent tbh

@snacks long division just doesnt come up nearly as much as remainders in everyday life

@coolbean you put the comma when you start adding zeroes from nowhere iirc

@snacks anyway same year the german teacher sat down with me for a talk about how suicide is not the answer which is funny to me because i wasnt suicidal at all at the time so the entire situation was just deeply uncomfortable
like the reason i didnt go outside for the break was cause its november and i didnt feel like freezing my ass off that day so i just... stayed at my desk for the half an hour. thats not all that crazy but apparently it concerned him
i probably also just have bad vibes in general tho
