Teachers learn the language of youth

The bell rings, students shuffle in to find their seats, and Mr. John White enters the classroom.

“Hey homies, y’all ready for a hella dope geometry lesson? Today’s objective is to turn up for triangles. And it’s Friday, I’m feelin crunk! Aiight, let’s bounce,” White said.

Teachers using slang should not be a thing.

While most teachers admit to not knowing the hip vocabulary of adolescents, White excels in this area.

White was also fired last week for calling Tina Miller, junior, a “ratchet thot.” He released a statement regarding this incident. White said, “I literally just chirped Tina in front of the class. She got hella mad and we started to fight. I’m like ‘Tina you a ratchet thot,’ it is what it is.”

Mr. Derek Jones, principal, expresses his disposition for slang in the classroom. Jones said, “White’s career lasted less time than Kim K’s second marriage. Just goes to show that slang is for young people only.”

White plans to become a rapper and possibly a “trap-star” following his short-lived teaching career. White continued, “Teaching really upped my chill to pull ratio. Ladies love teachers. I guess I’ll just pursue my music career. My mixtape drops Jan. 25.”
