Teach long enough and youâll be on the receiving end of your fair share of truly unhinged emails. The best ones are the emails that are so unbelievable you canât share them fast enough with all of your teacher friends. Thatâs what must have led Redditor u/peachlake to share this email that was sent to all the teachers in the same program:
So just to recap: The administrator who sent this email is in need of two teachers: a middle school science teacher for the following school year and a math teacher that is needed as soon as possible. That seems reasonable enough. But letâs break down what makes this email truly unbelievable (almost).
It should be a word, but itâs not.
The administrator in question needs a math teacher âemergently.â Thatâs right, âemergently.â Not immediately. Not because itâs an emergency. Nope, the situation is so serious that it called for the creation of an entirely new word. You know what? Iâm not even mad about this one. Letâs get it into the dictionary emergently.
Remember whatâs important!
Second, we couldnât help but note the administratorâs reminder that new hires donât need âtraining or certification.â Who needs things like training or knowledge regarding the education of children? We just need warm bodies in the rooms, people! ASAP! (Or rather, emergently!)
Besides, teaching isnât difficult.
Donât fret if youâre still confused about the âno training or certification neededâ part of the email. As the administrator reminds us, the only two things people need to teach are âcontent knowledge and a willingness to have fun with kids!â We have to agree with u/peachlakeâs assessment here: âOh, I didnât know I didnât need to be trained or certified to teach and that all I had to do was have fun with kids! I couldâve saved a ton of time and money getting my degrees. Silly me.â
