having encountered "ADHD medicine" a couple of times back in college, I recall writing some absolutely spectacular essays at breakneck speeds while chainsmoking marlboros on my roof, but there'd always be some weird shit. i was a big fan of footnotes for my footnotes, professors hated that. i also really liked being alliterative, which no one ever told me ain't acceptable in academic assignments. anyhow i hate using "ADHD medicine" as a euphemism for stimulants, presumably amphetamine. especially if you're a parent and you want to put your 11 year old child on it, i really think you should have to roll the phrase "i am putting my 11 year old child on amphetamine" around in your head a little bit.

The problem is the fact that this contemporary level of communication has already become a virtue. Of course; if you want to sound professional, there's merely a fraction of cases for a young adult who'd comprehend the subject intelligibly. For me, I think that's an issue - maybe in some parts...

I think unironically there is something to this intro. If an intro is to get you into a paper, this honestly does do pretty well. If I read a whole paper that was factual about Rosa Parks, but as informal as this, it would be entertaining. I also am a little more invested because now I know that there is a real human behind these words, a struggle. It quite literally introduces me to the paper (Rosa Parks) and introduces me to the writer.

It showcases how you hastily put together an essay at the last minute without any care prior to that to write this.

​@@crustyduck8073 With how hard it is to read that handwriting, it very well could be. Points off for a handwriting font choice that while fancy creates difficulty in readability, teacher. Especially in a Rosa Parks essay, having what is classically perceived as elegance creating a deleterious effect on the legibility of your statement really speaks to the hypocrisy and biases still present as holdovers from the past, when the class divide and the race divide were more formally intertwined. 'Fanciness', a concept part of a family of concepts so intertwined with racism and xenophobia both through classism, and through racism aside from classism that fanciness might as well just be a subcategory of racism, is considered something to aspire to, thus, what the children are aspiring to, what the powerful, the teachers, are, is fundamentally perverting them away from equality and understanding. I would envisage it's also hard to read for weak eyes, too. As an astigmatic person myself currently with mildly grubby glasses, without being told what it said, would've taken me quite a few more reads to decipher, especially without these glasses. Many people have weaker eyes. Or fewer eyes. I'm genuinely curious how good AI has gotten that if it could decode this, either to then rewrite onto a screen from a photo, or to read aloud. Thus, is the 'fancy' handwriting ableist too, speaking to a more general carelessness, violence, lower quality of life and missed opportunities for its users that the revered in the English language; its teachers, nobility, anyone who holds esteem for their mastery of it whether by tongue or by handwriting-because in the eyes of the revered the two are trained together-endorse, volitionally or otherwise. Started off as a cutting joke, turned it into a rant/essay, whatever you want to call it! And it is one of them! English belongs to its users, not it's scholars! And that last 'it's' got autocorrected but d'you know what, I believe in the death of 'its'. Every other possessive gets an apostrophe, that one just has to be special, when it would be more convenient with an apostrophe too! And while we're at it, make his, and hers, names ending with S, and theirs, into apostrophed versions. Him's, Her's, James's, Their's. It breaks up the appearance of the words a bit, obeys the general concept of apostrophes demonstrating possessiveness since it applies to so many other situations, if you're having trouble determining in the case of 'it's' whether it's used contractionately* or possessively, read the context. ¿And why don't we use exclamation marks and question marks before exclamations and questions, so that we can declare the tone they're supposed to be read in beforehand? *And from now on in English, that's a word too, it's not terribly hard to get what it means, we have contractedly I've discovered but contraction is obviously the shortening of something, like the short form should be the contractionate form, contractedly sounds like it could be some rare variation of how you'd describe a disease being contracted, something like that, or a weird form of contractually, I would prefer contractionately to describe the contracted form so I'm putting in my bid for it now. Or maybe it would be simpler as 'the compressed form' since that's pretty clear too, no other words to get muddled with, and 'compressedly' to be the word for 'in a compressed form'.

In highschool I got tired of writing formal essays and used to write like this and would still get high marks 🤣🤣

I remember when we learned about Rosa Parks in elementary school. There was a picture of her making some sort of speech with her birth date and death date listed beneath it: February 4th, 1913 - October 24th, 2005. Well, October 24th, 2005, happens to be the day I was born. I mentioned this fact, and a sizable amount of my peers collectively decided that 1. I was incredibly racist, and 2. That the sheer amount of racism in my being had caused Rosa Parks to suddenly keel over and die at the moment of my birth. The rest of that school day in particular is somewhat blurry, but I still have this clear image of my third grade teacher sitting in the corner of the classroom, holding her head in her hands, with this odd look of despair and confusion(with an undertone of hopelessness) as our guidance counselor taught an emergency lesson about how someone being born on the same day that someone else died does not mean that the person born caused the other person to die. Sadly, this was not the end of the debacle, as another one of my classmates wondered aloud if I was the reincarnation of Rosa Parks. Im sure you can imagine what calamity this revelation caused. My teacher ended up transferring to a different school the next year and I can't say that I blame her.

You're never gonna be a trailblazer if you do what everyone else expects of you, though this most likely would backfire on its writer, I wish academic writing wouldn't be so dry.

this is unironically how I would start many essays during middle and sometimes highschool. My teachers, I'm sure, cringed a lot, but you can't take points off for 'cringe', at least not at MY old school lol. It was in my voice, and my voice was very clear and consistent throughout my papers and essays, so they kinda just...had to let me keep it. They always say, "write what you know", so I would.

This introduction is absolutely beautiful and I wish to read more of this genius’s work

For those who don’t know this is a copy pasta introduction from tumblr and the creator said it always helped her creative process. She would delete it afterwards, and someone said they did this and forgot to remove the copy pasta. I’m guessing someone tried to recreate it or did it on purpose.

this english teacher i once had absolutely HATED introductions that started with a question (fair enough) and whenever we would ask why, they would tell us the story about when their class had to write a story about refugees. and over HALF of their essays started with "Have you ever been a refugee?"

It was TMI and completely off-topic. Also telling your reader to "sit down and shut up" is quite a hostile tone to take for a Rosa Parks essay.

There's something about the fact that that is an egregious intro to a school essay, and yet it would make an amazing intro if it were directly converted into a KZread video.

This is possibly the most accurate real video I've ever seen, because this happens to me all the time. 1 AM, chugging coffee like there's no tomorrow, finishing an assignment I am overdue on by a week because I have 4 other classes trying to fail me at the same time. Yes, my lunch break tried to fail me in highschool, shut up.

why? because it isn't professional? because it actually made you sit up and didn't feel mind numbing? How DARE this student try to entraine you!

When I was a TA marking 130 papers, I would have killed for someone to have shown this level of personality.

This reminds me of the time i was writing about the pyramid of psychological needs for my psychology class. "Value/reason: we need to have value in the things we do to give us satisfaction. I could for instance, dig a ten foot deep hole, fill it with a hundred oranges and fill the whole back in, but without any reason behind it it would just be a waste of oranges." I got an A on that paper.

I did this twice. Once, in a test. They said the same: "inappropriate introduction". The other was a writer's biography. I was tired, I didn't want to copy any more, and I was 14 years old. So, in the last fourth of the assignment, I rambled about that exact thing (something along the lines of "I bet you won't even read this, etc., etc....). And you know what? HE DIDN'T NOTICE IT. I GOT FULL MARKS, AND HE DIDN'T NOTICE IT BECAUSE I SAW HIM REVIEWING IT, AND HE JUST SKIMMED. Anyway, I felt rebellious.

Idk if I was doing an essay about Rosa Parks at 3 AM with a lot of monster energy, that'd be a very appropriate introduction to make.

This is exactly how I ended an essay last year!!!

I love reading these texts that are supposed to be formal, but are exaggeratedly emotional like whoever wrote it was the most comfortable possible. I wish I had the confidence to do such a feat, but my limit is making joke-notes at the sides so they don't count in.

naur that introduction was bomb. imagine if we had more like this! Sure it's not the most grammatical but honestly like who cares at this point. that not only hooked me in immediately, it had a coherent bridge and it immediately tells me what it's about (...about Rosa Parks) is it grammatical? not necessarily, but it has good structure and that matters more than the other. forget professionalism, this is the best introduction i will ever read in my life.

This is the most intrusive thought-like introduction I’ve ever heard. Like seriously, this is the type of thing that I’d say I ”wouldn’t want to show to my grandma”

If I were the teacher that student would have automatically gotten an A just for making me laugh
