So last year, we had to deal with the "skibidi", "skibidi toilet", "Rizz", "Sigma", "Alpha", etc. What phrases and terms are we going to put up with this year. From "mewing" to other gestures, I am overwhelmed and worry that I might say something that in my mind and life means one thing, but has a whole different meaning to Middle Schoolers. HELP!!!

I had a student say Skibidi toilet to me (high school). I was like “What language are you speaking?” In my very surprised voice. The whole class started laughing. Then I said can you speak English? He said I need to pee. I said go sit down and figure out how to ask appropriately. The class was in hysterics. The student figured out that I expected appropriate language. I was laughing in my head!!!

I agree that most of the time, it is more for the shock factor, or maybe they are just trying to be cool

Ask them calmly what they mean by the words they use. If you accuse or they think you're accusing, it will come to mean something bad, even if that's not the original intent.

I also like this idea. So many of the kids don't really even know the meaning of what they say.

I’m still hearing those phrases from my 8th graders the beginning of this year!

This week one of my 7th Graders has been popping out all these words, I did start talking in Pig Latin. It went dead silent, and then everyone started asking questions about what I was saying. The "skibidi Toilet" boy just totally looked like "what?!!" Then laughed and joined in on the questions. One student who ahd been silently watching and listening raised his hand and said, Is that pig latin?" I died laughing.

I’m leaving my job soon but I’m wondering if I should be truthful when I hand in my letter of resignation. There’s a ton of reasons but it boils down to: I’m worth more than they can pay me and I need to pay off these student loans. What should I say?
