Everybody Gets Atrophy
It’s a T-shirt about using your brain, but the seller spelled “lose” wrong! And also “meant”! Oh man, that’s funny. I always laugh when OH MY GOD HE’S A TEACHER JESUS CHRIST WE’RE DOOMED

OH GEEZ. I just had a facebook rant about these very two words. Why do SO many people do that with loose and lose???? It’s not that hard!!!
November 24, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I’m going to loose it. Yes, my brian.
November 24, 2009 at 2:26 pm

REMAIN CALM! Middle schoolers can’t read.
November 24, 2009 at 2:29 pm
If my kid came home with this, I’d use my red Sharpie pen, make the corrections, and send the shirt back the next day! lol
Bet you can tell how popular I am on parent-teacher night…
Reminds me of a sign I once saw a teacher carrying at a rally: “Parnets! Smarten up!”
hahahaha

I teach college and I’m reasonably sure I’ve had this guy’s students. Helen’s right. We’re doomed.
November 24, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Relax, he probably just doesn’t want their brains to come loose and fall out.
November 24, 2009 at 2:43 pm
It’s okay! She’s(not he, apparently) a science teacher!
November 24, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I need a picture of someone wearing this T-shirt while posting a comment on YouTube.
November 24, 2009 at 2:46 pm
well hell as long as she’s not an english teacher this is perfectly acceptable… (but not really)

This “teacher” must be an idiot. She should try teaching English. See this shirt of hers: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27699850

Another shirt she sells has a long (yawn) dissertation about a panther. Then it concludes with “References furnished upon request”. Shirt buyers are going to carry references? What the hell! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28771284

November 24, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Reminds me of my son’s first day of first grade. We’d just transferred to a new school, and in the packet sent home was a paper t-shirt for them to draw a picture of something they did over the summer on. In the instructions it stated they’d be hanging them on the “close line” in the hall. Not a good first impression.
November 24, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Yay – got avatar – thank you guys!
November 24, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Remember kids, don’t loose your brane and together we warm. Well, you know what I ment.
November 24, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Dear Sweet Jesus, this is the kind of moron that’s teaching our children? Is this because of the budget cut backs in California?

My oldest kid is 20 years old now, but when she was in fourth grade, they asked her to draw a picture for the Shel Silverstein story “The Loser” on a huge sheet of paper to be laminated in the library.
She told her teacher that it was “Loser”, not “Looser” (as was written on the paper). She got lectured for correcting a teacher and the laminated “Looser” sheet hung in the library for years (the last of my three got through four years later and it was still hanging in the library.

“The it a graphic…”
November 24, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Careful with that magnetic avatar, Efit, it’s jacking up my pacemaker. (Don’t wanna loose my life.)
November 24, 2009 at 3:49 pm
If anything is going to cause these children to have concern for their degenerating brain cells it’s the stupidity of their teacher.
November 24, 2009 at 3:49 pm
“The it a graphic”
should be
“This is a graphic”
“I put together to get something to my middle-school students”
should be
“I put together to get something across to my middle-school students”
“these are the years where”
should be
“these are the years when”
Plus the other things that have already been mentioned.

Badum-bum!

#5 CelticDiva – HA! I’d do the same thing.
#49 – Good! I’m glad they took it down.
I have taught public school (Again, aren’t you glad I got to influence young minds?? “Kids, your homework assignment for tonight is to Photoshop some really wacky shit into this famous painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware!”
)
This dumb shirt, created by a teacher, which is telling me to be smarter? Yeah, now you see one of the many, many reasons why I left education to go work in editing!
November 24, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Not good. I am actually kind of loosing my mind over this one.
November 24, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I’m more disturbed by the shirt featuring a devil with one foot and one hoof in the process of being sodomized by a curly fry…

@ #52 – sorry – I just couldn’t help myself…
November 24, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I’m really annoyed also at the bad science the shirt is referring to. I don’t think we know yet that the pruning of brain cells that occurs prior to adulthood is a bad thing. It may be the way the brain matures and makes solid connections. Infants have many more connections and loose them (ha ha just checking if you were paying attention) over time. This may actually be a beneficial thing, that allows them to really use their brain. But I don’t think it’s really atrophy.
November 24, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I thought atrophy referred to muscle cells dying after non-use. I also thought that the brain can’t atrophy because it’s not a muscle, but rather an organ.
November 24, 2009 at 5:48 pm
But of course I could be wrong
November 24, 2009 at 5:49 pm
oooh look the item has been pulled.
November 24, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Brains can atrophy…which is most likely what happened to this seller.
November 24, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Brains can atrophy, but usually it is from stroke or malnutrition. NOT from not using it. Being a scientist, she should have known that.
Oh well, those that can’t, teach. (NOT ALWAYS!!!—many good teachers that not only teach but CAN!!) It is a shame though that she advertises her stupidity. I would demand a refund on my taxes is my kid was in her class. Geez. Dolts abound.
November 24, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Those who can’t do something really DO teach.

November 24, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Blue K – I can tell ya that a lot of us who are not idiots get fed up pretty quickly and leave. I was constantly in the dog house with my school admin. You’re showing them what movie?!? They are reading WHAT?! That’s not in the state curriculum! No Child Left Behind! Test scores! Test scores! We aren’t supposed to teach kids how to think or spell. We are just supposed to teach them how to pass multiple choice tests. (end of soap box rant!)
Glad the seller removed it. Fix the spelling!!
November 24, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Makes me wanna sing the greates love of all

I tutor online.
This explains SO MANY of my students. So, so many.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve to go cry into my tea.
November 24, 2009 at 7:27 pm
The teacher didn’t use her brain, it shrank, came loose, and rolled out her ear! Wah-la!
November 24, 2009 at 7:31 pm
LOL!!! Did anyone see what the seller added to her shop announcement?
“PS – Thank you to all my helpers out there who help me with my typos – some are there on purpose

#70 hammerhead77 :
I know a teacher in Nevada who teaches English grammar and is not allowed to assign any reading. Reading wastes too much time that could be used studying for tests.
And I have lots of teacher friends in California who cry themselves to sleep.
November 25, 2009 at 1:43 am
“some are there on purpose, some are not”
Well, you might want to flag the ones on which you’re trying to be cheeky, otherwise it makes you seem kind of duuuuuh.
November 25, 2009 at 2:02 am
Perhaps this science teacher is dyslexic? Um, maybe ask a co-worker to proof everything before you print it on a shirt? The school has English teachers, I assume?! Atrophy indeed! Fuckery!

You don’t want to have kids because some people make grammatical errors????

Perhaps this explains why spelling and grammar are not important:
“There are lots of cloths with ribs printed on them walking around the street theses days”

apparently the streets are being overrun with zombie cloths
November 25, 2009 at 8:09 am
He also said “their body,” which is a plural-singular conflict. All middle schoolers share one body?
November 25, 2009 at 8:19 am
“PS – Thank you to all my helpers out there who help me with my typos – some are there on purpose
…and some are not”
I wonder which ones are “on purpose”?

I worked as an English and Math tutor for a year until I switched colleges, and my boss had a sign for summer school that said ‘use it or loose it!’ It always bothered the fuck out of me but I couldn’t bring myself to correct her for fear of being fired.
November 25, 2009 at 12:04 pm
It’s hard to spell correctly when you have a dried kidney bean rattling around in your skull.

Why do I get the feeling there was a bong involved in the creation of this?
November 25, 2009 at 2:12 pm
oo. i suck at pointing out mispellings.
November 25, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I taught middle school last year, and most of my kids couldn’t spell. Seriously. “happy Mather’s day” is the one that sticks out at the moment.
But really, I’d like to thank the dyslexic/careless teacher/artist for tarnishing the entire profession. Thanks for adding a little more credence to the wretched ‘those who can’t do teach’ saying. Thanks for being the kind of fuckwit that makes parents want to vote against school levys. From the bottom of my bitter & unemployed heart,…

#70 hammerhead77
I know the feeling.. I don’t have kids but this crap still pisses me off.. worst is I went through the great public education system and as I turn 30 I feel so cheated that so little is taught to lies. Especially lies and half truths about history and science.
I’ve discovered so many things in our history now that should have been taught to me in high school and was never mentioned or was lied about.
November 25, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Yes this is Quite sad! I’m pretty sure my son is smarter than most of his middle school teachers:(

November 25, 2009 at 4:14 pm
last comment, really: in 5th grade, my son’s class was allowed to choose their own spelling words. he used chimera and got it wrong because the teacher thought it was supposed to be camera, and after he explained she said that she’d never heard of it and he would have to find it in the dictionary. unfortunately the dictionary was a 3rd grade paperback number.
