textbook ninja

That lil teacher's pet in class that has basically memorized the whole textbook. Her ego has visible stretch marks and her parents will hunt down your poor teacher just to send her to the top of the class. If she doesn't get her way, then grab some popcorn and gummy bears; watch the drama unfold. Entertaining when you ain't part of it. This lil bitch is literally asking you to choke her. Go ahead. Do it ! Please !
"I give up, the textbook ninja has officially taken over"
"Haha look at the textbook ninja over there, no friend! Makes sense"

Textbook fear

A type of anxiety or apprehension felt towards a situation or decision because it is commonly perceived as difficult, overwhelming, or universally feared, rather than based on personal experience. It’s the fear of facing something simply because it has been widely described as daunting, often amplified by societal expectations or common narratives.
I really want to move away for university, but the textbook fear of being on my own keeps holding me back.

Textbook Preaching

Textbook preaching occurs when a teacher (usually a supply/cover teacher who is relatively inexperienced) teaches pupils by relying solely on the contents of whichever textbook relates to her current lesson (e.g. a teacher covering in Chemistry reading verbatim from a chemistry textbook)
More often than not, this method does absolutely nothing to help students learn, other than reinforcing already-negative attitudes about supply teachers and forcing pupils to seek out their own means of learning.
The only exceptions include teachers assigning tasks from the textbook or simply asking students to read extracts.
Pupil 1: Can you believe that? The supply teacher isn't even bothering, is she?

Pupil 2: How so?

Pupil 1: She's reading the contents of the textbook word-for-word! Classic case of textbook preaching.

Pupil 2: True that.
