Teaching Latin

Verb (present tense) To make something up as you go along.
No latin teacher has ever heard actual latin spoken. So in to a degree they are making up how it sounds.

Mike what do you know about sailing, how are you going to going to win the regatta? “I’m going to have to really be teaching latin if I want to win”

“The state shut down my restaurant because of Covid-19 I’m going to have to be teaching latin to make rent.”

In my 15 years of teaching...

When the teacher sits on her desk and says this, you *know* the entire class failed.

Friend: hey what did you get for math finals
You: I's got an f+
Friend: Oof
You: ikr
Teacher: *sits down on desk*
Friend: oh no here it comes
You: what comes?
Teacher: In my 15 years of teaching... I have never seen so many people fail the finals. It's literally THE FINALS!
*continues ranting for 3 hours*
Teacher: *takes a deep breath* Ya get that!?
Everyone: omfg finally

budget teaching

When the teacher is too lazy to do their job so they just make the class watch a Youtube video explaining the topic.

"Ms. Grayham didn't even teach us anything. She just made us watch a shitty Youtube video. If that's not budget teaching then I don't know what is."

Like babysitting, but for people who are tired of changing diapers.

ESL Teaching

A "job" that many grifters, low-lifes, simpletons and garden variety retards do while living abroad as an expat. Many, if not all, of those that are currently teaching ESL have failed astronomically in their home country. This includes financially owning themselves by getting one of the many useless degrees offered by today's university. An incompetence to use any job-hunting website. It also includes burning a variety of bridges with all of their friends, associates and family members. And finally, it includes a general sense of running from all responsibility due to a severe case of arrested development.

Ironically, many of their students, ESL Speakers, are trying to have a better life, work hard and take life head on.

Blue-haired coffee shop barista: I double majored in English Creative Writing with an emphasis on poetry, and general Philosophy, and I've had it. I've been working here for 6 long years. Too long, too long. Next week, I'm moving for an ESL Teaching job abroad for $800/month. It's GOOD money, and allows me to save each month to pay off my $120,000 of student debt.

Engineer, former friend: That's great.
