notes from a teacher of US-breed chavs

my grade 9 class is 25% grade 9's (straight out of grade 8) and the rest of them are 18-20 years old. Some of them have taken this class 4 times!

a lot of these kids/young adults don't give a fuck about anything as long as they can keep their iPods plugged into their heads 24/7. School is the last thing on their mind and deadlines are the least of their responsibilities when they've already had/fathered 2 kids and been to jail/on probation a few times.

One of my students was suspended for 15 days because she stole a teacher's car and took it for a few days. The police found it in her driveway! She was surprised that she was punished because, "I needed a car to go shopping(shoplifting)!" What's even sadder is that her parents didn't seem to care that their 17 year old daughter somehow managed to acquire a car!

Degenerates will be degenerates.

Ellen will be degeneres.

US-breed chavs
A what now?

We refer to them as "wiggers", here in the US. Also, Australians have a name for them too, I believe it starts with a "t", but I can't remember the name right now.

>>5
Tasmanians?

>>6
Nah, not Tasmanians. Perhaps some Aussie /lounge/r can help.

>>7
Troglodytes.

>>8
troglodytes?
lol, australian english sure sounds stupid

>>8
That was probably it.

>>9
Shut up. You're stupid.

I'm Australian and I've never heard of the word troglodyte.
the fuck

>>11
Yeah, I thought it was bogans.  Troglodytes are anthropologiical term for cave dwellers.  The band the Troggs had a hit with Wild Thing.

Troglodytes are anthropologiical term for cave dwellers.
Sounds quite an appropriate name for wiggers in Australia.

>>11
Perhaps only certain parts of Australia refer to them as that?

>>12
Yep. Bogan sounds closer to everyday slang.

>>13
Perhaps. >_>
