I work part-time for a small locally owned eikaiwa.
One of the days I work there, there is another teacher, much younger and a few years out of college.
Whether in class with the students or with other teachers, she speaks like a vapid, uneducated teenager- constantly speaking with high rising terminal intonation and every sentence contains the word “like” if not multiple times.
Last week in one of her classes she was tasked with teaching future expressions.
She spent about half the class time teaching and having the students practice “imma” and “I’m finna”.
When I questioned her about this, she accused me of being a racist and an elitist, and engaging in linguistic discrimination. For context, this teacher is white.
The manager/supervisor is somewhat of a Japanese bot and I’m not even sure if it’s worth it for me to talk to him about this teacher.
I’m wondering if it’s better to not worry about it and hope that the students will eventually complain to the manager.
Want to ask if this situation is more or less a norm these days. Especially in the American context, it seems that possibly due to social media, the language has changed a lot.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated.
