What a shitty phrase. Acting like pedagogy isn’t a thing and teachers spend years learning techniques for teaching different age groups just fall into the job.

    Well, wouldn’t be the first time I’ve put my foot in my mouth. For that I apologize.

    If it’s any consolation, my goal with the prompt, wasn’t to discredit the arduous unrewarded efforts of our educators. It was to put someone actively disqualified for a narrative role in such a situation.

    But I felt that alone wasn’t especially interesting. There should be a puzzle allowing the prompted writer to put an unexpected twist on an otherwise straightforward prompt. Hence the atheist producing results counter to their values.

    But if this is still considered in poor taste, then I give the mods permission to delete this.
