It's been over twenty years since I've left school and I remember both teachers as if it were yesterday. talked down to me constantly, told me I would never pass my exams and that I would never make good enough grades to get into the school I chose.ignored me in class and basically treated me like crap because I wasn't up to the 'standard' of her preferred students. One who was nurturing, went the extra mile to help whenever or with whatever I needed assistance with.encouraged a love of literature by inviting us to come over before school to read from her personal library, etc. Best of luck to tomorrow's main character.I've had two very significant experiences with both types of teachers. AEDT: Roderick has now deleted or deactivated his entire Twitter account.
ET: The Twitter account for the podcast, "My Brother, My Brother, and Me," announced it would no longer be using Roderick's music on the show. Tweet may have been deletedĪs old tweets of Roderick's are brought to light, perhaps it's time for him to take after his podcast cohost, Ken Jennings, who recently had to apologize for his own old, insensitive tweets. ET: One of the consequences of being Twitter's "main character" of the day is that people start really looking into your background.
Tweet may have been deletedĮvery day, one person’s take on Twitter is so hot, it sets off an avalanche of criticism, turning that person into the day’s “main character.”Įven though we are in a brand-new year, full of new hopes and dreams. To me, the moral of the story was perfectly crafted by Twitter user back in 2019.
It's not about parenting, or beans, or joke writing. This tracks, especially when you take into consideration that Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! fame is his podcast co-host. It's something you would you do if you were trying to make readers hate you.Īnd that's what made me think this whole story was written purposefully just to get a rise out of people. Roderick took 23 tweets to tell a story in the most condescending way possible. I also try to avoid criticizing other parenting “styles.”
Now, as a father of two children (a 5-year-old and a 1-and-a-half year old), I can tell you that I personally would not make my children spend six hours trying to figure out how to open a can of beans. Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deletedīean Dad obviously had to respond to the negative responses. The Bean Dad discourse was so much that people felt they had to take part. Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted “She’s 9,” “Apocalypse Dad,” and an exasperated all-caps “SIX HOURS” trended on Twitter all Sunday morning. The story, and the tone in which it was told, infuriated Twitter. Six hours later, the frustrated 9-year-old figured out how to open the can of beans with the can opener. Roderick wanted her to figure out how the can opener worked herself. His daughter did not understand how a can opener worked because she is 9 years old.
Roderick saw this as a “teaching moment.” He wanted her to open the can herself. Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deletedīasically, the child wanted to eat the baked beans. Twenty-three tweets later, we got the full story. On Saturday evening, musician and podcaster John Roderick shared a tale about his hungry 9-year-old daughter wanting some baked beans. The answer: "Bean Dad" became Twitter’s first " main character" of the year, the person who has such a bad take that people feel compelled to dunk on them. If you ventured onto Twitter during the first weekend of 2021, you were probably wondering why everyone was talking about beans. EST John Roderick, aka Bean Dad, has issued a lengthy apology on his website.
