I had several teachers from the devil-care-bear tribe. *shudder*
Here's one of my all-time least favorites:
***The Perky Twit (H. perkius twitterii)***
Commonly found in business management positions, certain high-money professions (esp. medical/psychological),
and education
-Insists that everyone should always keep a "positive attitude"
-Comes down on others who use words like "no", "don't", or "bad", because that language is so NEGATIVE! Can't you put it in a more positive way?
-Never wants to acknowledge that anything bad happens in the world, and therefore....
-Gets aggravated with you (in a positively stated, hint-filled, indirect way, of course) if you should happen to go ahead and point out the truth.
-Thinks there must be something mentally wrong with people who acknowledge the bad side of life. Commonly used phrase: "Have you considered....SEEING SOMEONE.....about your negativity?"
-Usually reads cute, INSPIRING! "self-help" books....frequently seen with "Chicken Soup" books, anything by Dr. Phil, and, of course, "The Power Of Positive Thinking". Believes that people who read horror stories are sick in the head.
-Always willing to tell you how they overcame such hardships in their lives armed with only the "I Think I Can" Little-Engine philosophy. And gee, you could do it too if you just took their advice and thought POSITIVELY!
-Have tendency to bully you, and when you object, tell you "it's unfortunate that you have such a negative attitude."
(A Perky Twit actually did and said this to me once...this Twit was my former boss.....)
-Female Perky Twits almost always have high chirpy voices. Both sexes of Perky Twit have large, slightly insincere perma-smiles.
-All Perky Twits: HUGE curebies.

Oh, god. That reminds me of my third grade teacher. She's always so haPPEEEE she made kids' shows seem like something emo kids would watch. (Not that I knew about emo back then) She even called her classroom Positive Place. (Each classroom had a name in that school) She kept telling you to smile, and made the class sing happy happy happy songs. She took her class on field trips to elderly nursing homes and had them perform to make the elderly happy. I'm pretty sure if I were an old grandma there, I'd feel envious of the youngsters' youth, and get more depressed due to the fact that I wasn't how I used to be. Pretty much the only time she wasn't happy was on September 11. (The very attack happened when I was in third grade) When a kid passed by our room crying because his uncle died in the attack, she immediately switched back into happy mode and tried to cheer him up.

Calling a classroom "positive place" - oh, the horror! The utter horror!
