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.

Health Preacher

Someone who is vegan, refuses to take the vaccine, buys expensive eco friendly products, thinks they are saving the planet by buying a bamboo toothbrush. Will happily splurge £80 on a mystery bag of white powder from Devo on the corner who claims its fire coke.

Will spend 4 hours debating about how bad it is that donkeys are being killed in Tunisia and it should be stopped now because it's awful.

But will smash a full McDonalds when they are a drink.
Oh Becky the other day was chatting so much shit about her new vegan diet and all her eco friendly products. She is such a health preacher

Prompter Preacher

All television on-camera news personalities that pontificate and deliver pious news messages or tragic stories with a sober look and serious tone in their voice. They are not the writers of the story but simply the messengers of guilt to the camera.
That tv anchor seems humbled by the drought's impact on the Somali people, but really he's nothing more than a prompter preacher.

Did you hear all the prompter preaches today? They're all saying that higher taxes on me will somehow solve all the country's problems.
