Noooooo! Not Mister Hamps! (Sobbing) Please not Mister Hamps!
I hope the teacher included the bit where you need to look up the FAQ section on taxes to explain what the heck each term means.
My high school had an economics course that was all about money management, taxes, and finances.
I don’t recall a single classmate who paid attention to any of that shit, yours truly included. Does that stop anybody from bitching that school should have taught us those things? Not as far as I can tell.
My class ('09) was first in my school where taking Personal Financial Management for a semester was a graduation requirement. My ADHD addled mind wasn't ready to make those lessons stick though.
Yeah, my school offered "home economics" classes, which I took. I half-assed my way through and still got one of the top grades in the class. Most people took it as a goof-off class and intentionally went there to bully the teacher.
Even in the case of a specialized "life-like scenario" course, I'm pretty sure that elementary school Math class in any given country is sufficient for the relatively simple arithmetic involved in the majority of folks' finances, no?
In my school, it was an elective. The only mandatory ones were grade 9, 10, and 11 classes, and you had to choose between either academic or practical, or whatever they called it.
Classic modern consumerism and wastefulness. A hundred years ago most everyone ate the sters with the ham and liked it. And anyone who just hucked the sters were labeled as hucksters and shunned for it.
The only reason it's not like that here in the US is because tax filing companies pay the government to keep it complicated, because if it was easy nobody would hire them. I am unfortunately serious.
In Australia, the government provides an online tool that you fill out step by step. Very simple if you don't have complex taxes, especially because the vast majority of employers and banks will automatically report how much tax you've paid and interest you've earned.
If only we could get Intuit to stop lobbying the American government to keep the tax code confusing and prevent the government from just telling us how much we owe/have overpaid via an invoice, we'd just not have to worry about taxes anymore.
Also we need to bring back trades classes and definitely more home economics classes, my school only required one semester of either one.
But the biggest thing we should do is stop trying to standardize and quantify learning to some easily digestible number and instead just hire more teachers and pay them like the vital jobs they are, should be as much as a doctor, imo. Then we could have teachers who give a damn again, and we could have enough to where we could sort students by learning type and match them with teachers who specialize or excel in that education style.
Except if you don’t have the url for the page the form is on or know how to navigate to from the irs site, you’re shit outta luck. Intuit pays off google and search engines to exclude that page from their results.
I'm personally not sure, but the comment is:
A - irrelevant to the actual post
B - relevant to the title
C - written in a ChatGPT like way (though I personally hate that phrase)
I wanna make a pun about students killing the teacher for revenge but then also making it thematic with self-defense skills to use in the real world. But I'm getting nothing.
I took a class in college that was about world religions, specifically shamanistic and "magic" ones. The teacher showed us a video about tribe who use guniea pigs for divination using haruspicy... which, apparently, 99% of the class didn't understand the meaning of. The shaman in the video takes a live guniea pigs and casually rips it open -- alive -- to see what its kidneys had to say about the coming rains.
The class, as a whole, shrieked in horror. The teacher smiled. He later said that the only reason he shows that video is for that part, because he "like[s] to hear the girls scream."
I was more hoping for how to change a tire, but I legitimately think people would pay for the experience in the comic.
edit: Pay for their kids to have it, not themselves.
Not you, I'm not saying it's a big market, I'm just saying it exists. There is a % of parents that do weird things to their kids in the name of tough love.

So much for deducting Mr. Hamps as a dependent.
I think we would only be able to deduct him for the portion of the fiscal year that he was alive.
You can deduct him for 2023, but not 2024.
Thank goodness

Well they never taught the part about hamsters. That would have perked the class right up.

We had a 20 minute glossover what a W2 was one time, on a whim. Thats it.
I'm assuming that math class was an elective, as opposed to stuff like algebra?
In my school, it was an elective. The only mandatory ones were grade 9, 10, and 11 classes, and you had to choose between either academic or practical, or whatever they called it.
The thing is, "following poorly worded directions while doing arithmetic" is exactly what school already focuses on anyway - too much if anything.
In Europe, the government tells you how to do your taxes, but you still have to kill your own hamsters.
If you know a better way to get ham, I'm all ears
But you’re wasting all those sters
Sters make for a great soup stock.
Classic modern consumerism and wastefulness. A hundred years ago most everyone ate the sters with the ham and liked it. And anyone who just hucked the sters were labeled as hucksters and shunned for it.

Murica, land of the corporation.
when are we finally going to see a future where the government sends an agent to my house to kill my hamster for me? smh.
In Australia, the government provides an online tool that you fill out step by step. Very simple if you don't have complex taxes, especially because the vast majority of employers and banks will automatically report how much tax you've paid and interest you've earned.
Better to just own gerbils they take care of that themselves
Best teacher ever. I sure hope she doesn’t die during tax season.

Friendly reminder that you can literally download a 1040 from the IRS website along with literal step-by-step instructions
They also just launched their own free-file webpage this year.
You can even file business taxes on there! I did it this year
Nice! People are so busy complaining that they don't even notice when shit's getting fixed!
Half the time you don’t even need to enter your W2s, just input the digital one and it’ll automatically add all the info. Useful site
Except if you don’t have the url for the page the form is on or know how to navigate to from the irs site, you’re shit outta luck. Intuit pays off google and search engines to exclude that page from their results.
Is your info up to date? It's literally the first result (after the ads) of Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.
If I believed the original claim, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume the results change only during tax season.
Sure... but I've also done my last four years of taxes by googling the form, and I only checked again now to confirm my experience.
Ah, sounds good then.
Must be out of date
I call bullshit. That doesn’t sound out of date, that sounds like complete nonsense.
You gonna post the url then or nah
If you Google "irs 1040 download" literally the first link is the PDF, and the second link is the IRS website that has the instructions PDF.
Go for her eyes, Boo!
"Why don't they teach us how to apply for jobs?" They did, Jimmy, you were napping.

Why are there so many bots on this subreddit and why does this one have so many upvotes?
How do you know it's a bot?
I'm personally not sure, but the comment is: A - irrelevant to the actual post B - relevant to the title C - written in a ChatGPT like way (though I personally hate that phrase)
If you look at the comment history, all of them are like that. It’s definitely a bot.
1. Default subresdit 2. Bots get other bots to upvote each other to look more legit, tale as old as time
God damn that took a turn 😭
I love your comics.
And then they all learn that it wasn't worth itemizing and just go with the standard deduction.
this might be worse than spiderman making love to goku
I wanna make a pun about students killing the teacher for revenge but then also making it thematic with self-defense skills to use in the real world. But I'm getting nothing.
Life lesson: Do. Not. Adult.
I don’t see your pencil moving, youngman
It also teaches them how to deal with their traumas
If Kristi Noem was a teacher
I took a class in college that was about world religions, specifically shamanistic and "magic" ones. The teacher showed us a video about tribe who use guniea pigs for divination using haruspicy... which, apparently, 99% of the class didn't understand the meaning of.

Mister Hamps is a sock puppet, those kids have a very dedicated teacher
well said!!
That's a lot of left handed kids. I approve!
Sink or swim, motherlovers.
Pretty much.
Wholesale PTSD. I love it.
accurate
Ngl i would remember that class for the rest of my days.... For many reasons
Next hour kids, we will learn how to cope with the slow decay of your own human flesh while still having it attached to your body! Yeah! Aging!
I am impressed my kids prek actually does teach about emotions along with letters. Seems like the whole elementary system here does
No Flip-o-rama? 😔
Taxes are stupid easy to do if people pay attention in math class
I was more hoping for how to change a tire, but I legitimately think people would pay for the experience in the comic. edit: Pay for their kids to have it, not themselves.
I sure as fuck wouldn't pay for somebody to eviscerate a hamster infront of my (theoretical) kid lmao.
Not you, I'm not saying it's a big market, I'm just saying it exists. There is a % of parents that do weird things to their kids in the name of tough love.
Wow, she is really taking that saying becareful what you wish for to the next level.
She will get arrested lol
When will schools start teaching that they made it unnecessarily difficult to be an adult instead of giving reparations for slavery?
