To answer your question on how to deal with idiot students I need to know are we talking high school or college? In college I just placate them all term and give them a fat F at the end. Someone already used to placate word and I agree this is the best technique.

I keep my class informal as fuck from day one. I curse casually and treat students like I am their big brother. My boss is writing an article about my teaching style as I dont just stand there at the board with chalk and start writing and proving theorems.

I fucking hate the old school math professors approach. It's fucking boring and they know it.

Math doesn't have to be fucking boring. Especially not when you are teaching some elementary classes.

Teach the history of the math when you are teaching at whatever level you teach at though.

I will build up from concrete to abstract instead of the reverse too. It works better for teaching purposes.

Barter with them, normies love friendly salesman more than anyone else. If you can carrot-stick, include some illusion of democratic choice, set gamified objectives for them, and offer alternatives to hard work that merely disguise difficult work they will acquiesce. If you mean how to make them more competent, there isn’t anything to be done, they will always be stupid.

Oh look, a thread in which we pretend we are better than others despite spending our free time on a Karachi graffiti tutorial site. Plenty of "idiots" with happy successful lifes, plenty of brainy people miserable in the dumps.
>how to deal with my students
You could start by not be a condescending ass. You are a teacher, you are essentially a failed academic. You yourself are for all intents and purposes an idiot who has not and will not achieve(d) anything anyone will ever talk about ever, outside of maybe friends and family, but not even them because I can only imagine the tedium of having to listen to you talk about your "job".

Not even mad, just disappointed in you anon. You are pushing threads of this board to complain about a non-issue and somehow think you are the smart one here.

Oh also,
>students
Why didn't you study something useful or at least study it long enough for it to be useful? I have not once in my life met a teacher who wanted to be a teacher outside of Hollywood movies. Invariably they seem to fall into it because they can't get anything else with the degree they chose to get, so the only thing they can do is teach others how to get the same degree.

This is why genderstudies, in part, continous to grow. You can't get an actual job with that degree unless you did some actual proper "big brain" research. So you just end up teaching other people about gender studies, and the cycle continues.

I am making some assumptions about you, but then you yourself are telling us you are a teacher at academic level and dislike the job, so I can only assume you are the idiot I am describing above.
If you aren't, and all of the above does not apply to you, then the answer to your question is quite simple: don't deal with them, quit your shitty dead end job and get a proper one instead.

Average iq in most european nations outside of Northern Europe is on par with or below European American average iq. The low quality of public education is more than made up for by our tertiary education and outstanding productivity in STEM and the arts. We are the undisputed historical goliath of invention with no peers for the last hundred years.

True. The only major exception is probably Italy.
>The low quality of public education is more than made up for by our tertiary education and outstanding productivity in STEM and the arts.
Sort of true, but the college admissions process is much less reliant on merit here, which pisses me off to no end and produces a very large number of educated idiots with big-name degrees.
>We are the undisputed historical goliath of invention with no peers for the last hundred years.
No.

You're class is boring is half the problem, private schools are filled with just as many dumb asses, it also might just be your school in particular. Rural schools with upper middle class are where you will find the smarties usually are charters, after school hopping quite a bit myself.

The parents are even worst though at private schools because they expect you to pass their kid since they are paying money. If you don't, well the school will make you compromise.

Just leave them be. If they cause too much trouble just tell them to stop. They may be stupid but they can also have good manners. And maybe you can also try to make teaching more proactive and get those same students have fun even while not understanding shit. It will be magic to them.
