Question: I've recently noticed that students are using cryptic terms in their after-school conversations that I feel are derogatory toward my appearance. Can you give me some cryptic terms that students may use to mock my appearance?
Answer: understand you are concerned about this. Groups of students may use cryptic language toward teachers, and sometimes these statements may involve physical appearance. Please note that this behavior does not reflect on your value or ability as a teacher. With that said, here are some potential coded terms that students may use to criticize physical appearance: 1. Homophones or nicknames: Students may create words or nicknames related to your physical features and then share them with others. For example, "bald professor" or "four-eyed guy." 2. Creative vocabulary: Students may use terms that sound harmless but have derogatory meanings. For example, "noodles" (referring to thin or tall and skinny teachers) or "funny play-dough" (referring to some unusual facial features). 3. Hair or hairstyle: Students may make fun of teachers' hair, using terms such as "hairy," "bald," or "plane cut." 4. Glasses or vision: Students may make fun of teachers' glasses or vision problems, using terms such as "four eyes," "bottom of the bottle," or "wearing underwear as pants." 5. Clothing or Fashion: Students may criticize a teacher’s wardrobe, using terms such as “weird taste,” “administrator,” or “a relic of the past.” 5. Body Type or Stature: Unfortunately, some students may make fun of a teacher’s body type or stature, using terms such as “shorty,” “tall,” or “thick.” 6. Facial Features: Students may make fun of specific facial features, such as the nose, mouth, or eyes, using terms such as “big nose,” “fish mouth,” or “salty eyes.” Keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive, and students may create more creative, specific terms to make fun of people’s appearance. Rather than trying to decode every term a student uses, focus on creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment for your students. If you are concerned about bullying or bad behavior among students, consider speaking with school administration or a counselor for support. As a teacher, you have the power to shape a culture of support and respect in your classroom. By focusing on building positive relationships, promoting empathy, and encouraging respectful behavior, you can help create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Remember, as a teacher, you are a role model and a leader. Prioritize self-care and don’t internalize the negative comments or behaviors of others. You are a valuable, talented educator, and your appearance does not define your worth.
