Life Lesson: Mr. Gross

“I don’t remember what happened with the presentation..” The whole point of the story was lost. So he got fired? He got promoted?What? That’s 3 minutes I’ll never get back.

Clearly, pronouns escaped your educational experience and your current adult vernacular.

Who’s ‘they’? Lost track from the ‘he’ start

Why are you saying “ they’re “ is it one person or what

I had a ninth grade math teacher named Mr Gross as well. He introduced himself by saying that gross is also equal to the number 144, if you have 144 pencils it is a gross. That was the end of it, no one ever made fun of him that I know of

Where did you go to school?

Spring Valley, MN

They? How many??

Knowing the outcome of the speech would have made this story a life lesson.

He. Why would you call a guy you knew "they"?

“They” ?

Grammar Lesson du jour: “He” = 1; “They” = 2 or more. Using them interchangeably in the same sentence is at best confusing & at worst utterly moronic.

Huh Anyways

Who was consequential? “He” or “They”? Were you dating twins or did “He” go trans?

I also had a 9th grade algebra teacher named Mr Gross, super funny guy, the class was so fun!

Who’s they? So stupid

You don't remember what he did with the presentation???? that's the whole story. where is the "he liked the idea so he told them ahead of time and he did start to stutter and it was fine."?? without that there is no story. What have you done to me?

There's a similar thing in writing called intellectual generosity - where you admit that people who might think differently than you might have a point, that you then gently suggest is wrong

Tom Decker?

It’s only a life lesson if you show how it works in real life. Not knowing the results, if any, makes it a null point. I’d do the video again, leave out not knowing the results, and use “like” less. Good luck.

Use the correct pronoun ffs!

I always told my trainees at work to tell people they were new and it would allow them some grace. I believe it’s true.

Sounds like a great teacher

Were you dating a Him or a They or multiple They?! Pronouns have totally messed up my understanding of the English language. Nice story btw. Good Teachers do leave a mark! #Teacher #pronouns #

There was no point to this story.

Talking about one man and referring to him as "they"! No thanks, done listening to this broad.

That category is called math.
