Today I taught in a school where several students I encountered were on daily report. Each student had three individualised targets for their report. I was bemused to find on several:
Target 1: No tooting. Upon asking first encountered naughty child I was able to work out the following...
Tooting (verb) to talk back to one's teacher in a disrespectful way; to publically state that you are not going to follow teacher's instructions; to call out when teacher is trying to address whole class.
Picture partially relevant.
And here I was thinking that 'tooting' was ingesting drugs as in a 'toot' of coke. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteI thought tooting is what you say to a little child when they fart eg: "did you do a little toot?"
ReplyDeleteI thought tooting was what a car does when you press the horn.
ReplyDeleteI thoughtthat Tooting was an area of London near Wandsworth.
