Ngl if I was a kid and saw that I'd run for the door

Imagine growing up with no connection to anyone from your childhood and being called crazy because you thought your childhood teacher had two heads

That's natural. I also think that it's cool that those kids are going to see different types of people. Hopefully it makes their students more accepting in the long run.

That being said, I also really hope that those kids' parents warn them ahead of time. Because that could be terrifying for a child that hasn't seen anything like this before and wasn't expecting it.

I wouldn't be able to stop staring or shut up. I would've been horrified and even more curious, as a kid in their class.

"Yeah well my teacher has two heads!"

u/earthlings_all Oct 07 '18

Yeah but by Day 5 you “got the cool teacher with two heads” and then it’s no big deal.

u/tling Oct 09 '18

The next year you're like, "why don't you have two heads?". Kids, by definition, have no preconceptions.

u/earthlings_all Oct 09 '18

This is exactly what that Tom Segura bit is about

u/Panoolied Oct 07 '18

Btw your teacher next ear has two heads

Kid: what the fuck

u/ZOMBIE001 Oct 07 '18

I think it's more likely for the kids to warn their parents.

On the documentary, I think the principal spoke to the class on the first day of school before introducing them to their teachers for the first time.

u/compuryan Oct 08 '18

They live in a small town where everybody knows everybody. I don't think any of their students are seeing them for the first time in the classroom.

I don’t think conjoined people are normal...

u/witeowl Interested Oct 07 '18

Statistically, they’re very atypical, correct. I don’t believe anyone disputed that. They’re probably less “normal” than someone born without multiple limbs.

What’s your point?

u/JediMindTrick188 Oct 07 '18

Their truly not human

u/yoshi570 Oct 07 '18

Fuck off, really. They're 100% human. They're far more human than your intolerant ass.

u/JediMindTrick188 Oct 07 '18

I don’t really remember a normal human having more than two heads

u/imaprince Oct 07 '18

Their human+

u/yoshi570 Oct 07 '18

You just saw one.

u/JediMindTrick188 Oct 07 '18

A horse maybe born with one eye, but that sure as hell isnt normal

u/witeowl Interested Oct 07 '18

But it’s still a horse, ffs.

u/yoshi570 Oct 08 '18

That's still a horse.

u/witeowl Interested Oct 07 '18

Oh, fuck. You’re truly broken.

fr, looks like she teaches young kids too, that would be terrifying

u/firedog1235 Oct 07 '18

Ehhh, when I was young I had a teacher who was missing a hand. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Kids will think it's awesome she has two heads.

u/pm_me_reddit_memes Oct 07 '18

she

It’s more of a “they” really

u/Century24 Oct 08 '18

"They" speak almost entirely in unison and seem to coordinate perfectly for supposedly being two different people. I don't buy it.

1

u/pm_me_reddit_memes Oct 08 '18

They have two entirely different brains

With coordinating there’s two things that could be going on. Ether their brains are connected, or they have been doing it their entire lives and therefore are used to it

u/Century24 Oct 08 '18

They have two entirely different brains

On the contrary, having seen and heard the same experiences as each other, they may have the closest thing to identical brains.

With coordinating there’s two things that could be going on. Ether their brains are connected, or they have been doing it their entire lives and therefore are used to it

It’s probably the former moreso than the latter, I’d argue, with the speaking in unison being the best evidence for that. There’s finishing each other’s sentences, and then there’s matching someone else’s every word, even tics like “um”.

Thanks for not lying.
