Typical teachers

Howdy! This is the second part of our stereotype subject in the “personality-learn and fun”. Today we’re gonna make fun of two kinds of teachers...

     ...No, no, not the normal teachers, but teachers from private schools.

                                   So let’s have some fun:

     The most known private school teacher stereotype is a “twice-nice”. It’s usually a woman, who likes babies, pussycats, pappies and lollypops. It’s easy to bribe her with candies or a cookie. That’s why in private schools there are so few class tests. She always has her own point of view in every subject. As opposed to her appearance she has a big knowledge and she is a very intelligent person. It’s just her infantilism the students are laughing about. No wonder, if she usually comes to school in pink socks and a T-shirt with a picture of a puppy...   It’s hard to imagine how such a smart person can have so childish orientation. She could have been a famous research worker, but she decided to be a teacher, because she “loves to work with children”.

     Second, also very popular, stereotype of a teacher from private school is “Hard-core teacher”. As you can see on the picture and his nickname he is a very hard one. He always gives a lot of homework to do (in one day usually), cares about every word you say and always asks you about things you don’t know. You may wonder: “why is he teaching in private and non-stressful school?”. It is caused by his efficiency and modern style of teaching. He doesn’t like children, but he likes to make serious people of them. His lessons are full of comparisons to the reality, morals and philosophical arguments...

     Except the subject he teaches he has a lot of interests and hobbies. For example he plays the bass guitar, or he rides a motorbike. That’s the next reason for calling him “Hard-core teacher”. At the lesson he can be threatening but after it you can even talk with him about something interesting. Maybe he looks like an old hard-rock geezer, but he usually is a middle-aged orthodox Christian with a very “specific” sense of humour.
