middle school kids lack talent[views:2155][posts:22]_______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 7:34am - brian_dc nli ""] I'm teaching music today at a middle school. I realize that they're all young and all that good stuff. But so far, not a single one of the kids has an ounce of talent or even potential. Here comes the headache! |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:21am - atthehaunted ""] well they are lil kids maybe they need some incentive, EH no doot aboot it |
| ______________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:25am - rhys ""] you're supposed to be teaching them music, not how to pleasure a grown man |
| ________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:27am - Ryan_M ""] atthehaunted said:well they are lil kids maybe they need some incentive Yeah, but when all you listen to is Nickelback, Green Day and the Black Eyed Peas, that probably kills a kid's motivation to want to play music himself. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:28am - atthehaunted ""] Have them play something fun rather then little star |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:30am - the_reverend ""] I think the best thing you can teach them music-wise is not to get retarded tattoos. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:32am - brian_dc nli ""] oh these kids are really trying. It's not that they don't care. I'm pretty much joking, just can't stand the headache I'll get from this. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:33am - atthehaunted ""] haha oh well alot of us sucked back in the day. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 8:41am - brian_dc nli ""] that's the truth |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 9:30am - xanonymousx ""] scare them with some black metal or play your band. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 9:31am - xanonymousx ""] either that or do metal 101. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2007 9:33am - atthehaunted ""] how about u play something they like, like um biggie smalls |

| ____________________________________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:14am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Teach them how to play metal. No talent necessary for musicians to be well respected. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:21am - FuckIsMySignature ""] the first step is to tell them that they have no talent or potential what so ever. that is how true metal heads are born. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:48am - Yeti ""] anyone born post-1989 lacks any kind of merit. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:54am - xmikex ""] The only talent that kids in my junior high music class had was for picking fights, and breaking things. I remember one class where everyone was going nuts, and running around screaming. There was this one kid sitting by the window hurling music books into the parking lot. The teacher came by and said "What're you up to there Jim?" He said "Throwin' books." The teacher's response was something to the effect of "Oh, well, keep up the good work." They tried to get us to watch Westside Story once but as soon as kids realized it was less about gangs and more about a love story and singing the class turned back into a zoo. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:56am - dreadkill ""] that's a great story |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 1,2007 10:58am - FuckIsMySignature ""] throwing books can lead to a lucrative career as a certified asshole. |

Knowing that kid I don't think anything he'll ever accomplish could be described as lucrative. And probably the only thing he's certified to do is stay 500 feet away from children, playgrounds, and elementary schools at all times. |
