Teachers teaching sarcasm

I remember when I was in elementary school, I've had some female teachers acting sarcastic towards the students when they were not happy. An example would be a teacher saying "that's wonderful, you forgot to turn in your homework assignment. Wonderful! Wonderful!" when in reality she was not happy about the assignment not turned in.

There were other examples too of teachers acting with sarcasm. The teachers did not mean any harm but the problem was that I started to picked up the behavior of sarcasm as a kid and it's not a good thing because it can be socially rude and offensive to other people.

If you're a school teacher, it's not really the best idea to act with sarcasm to the kids because they can pick that up and apply it in their lives and realize that it can be offensive in the wrong context of interacting with other people. Kids, teens and young adults are still awkward in not knowing exactly what to say in public. So becareful teachers!

 

Yeah. There's a time and place for it but when you're at a young age and socially awkward it can be a faux pas. I remember being a smart Alec in 6th grade and it made other people mad.

I do feel that there are teachers who do not realize that they are setting a bad example because to them it's normal in their upbringing but they should realize that when you're in front of the classroom, you should act with old fashioned manners even if you have to fake it.

It's not easy being a school teacher of course but it is common for some teachers to make these subtle errors.
