reverse/hypocritical teaching

Refers to where a schoolteacher requests his students to tell him the answer to a English/history question, math problem, etc. ("Now --- who can tell me what the answer is in this case?", or "I want you to fill in the blank on your page there, to tell me what the answer is")... not only does this strange behavior indicate that the teacher is apparently not qualified for his job, since **he** seemingly doesn't even know the answer himself (plus maybe the question is even too difficult/advanced for his students, if even he --- as an "educated grownup" --- doesn't even seem to know the answer; perhaps he should therefore not even be asking this excessively-advanced question of his much-younger/less-learned students), but it also directly flies in the face of his otherwise strict policy of never answering a question that a student asks **him** about a particular example on a test, but instead insisting that the student laboriously toil to find out the answer for himself.
Disgruntled second-grade student: I wish they'd let us have a better-informed teacher --- she expects US to supply HER with knowledge many times every day, rather than HER teaching US, the way she's supposed to! Talk about reverse/hypocritical teaching --- where'd SHE ever get her teacher's certification, anyway, if she's THAT dumb and uneducated?!??

A: We don't have time to talk about polynomials, so your homework is to read page 796 and solve the problems.
B: Can you make better lessons instead of resorting to this teach around?

In my 20 years of teaching.

If you ever hear your teacher preface a speech with this sentence. You done fucked up. It is over. You are finished and will never see the light of day again. The heinous crime you have committed by blasting loud Indian music while the substitute was teaching would have catched up to you eventually. Now you must run hide and maybe even hide.
In my 20 years of teaching. I have never seen a more disrespectful class.

Teach

A teach is a person who loves bdsm, has an obnoxious yet calm personality, has red hair, tall, drinks strawberry milk, kins the devil, has eyes that look like the void, has a pet ferret, very smart and enjoys psychological warfare. The particular teach I’m talking about plays the sims and tortures his sims, often neglecting their needs until the last minute and then supplying their said needs. He reads comic books and is a fan of the film industry. Sadist. Probably has a personality disorder. Listens to Set It Off and Taylor Swift

There are other types of teaches, but this is the standard teach. Not all teaches kin the devil, and not all of them have pet ferrets.
I tried to argue, but he’s such a fucking teach. He handcuffed me and told me he’s going to force me to watch CSI with him.
