A bad idea for a lesson plan

It was a bad idea for a lesson plan.

Today’s idioms were “Don’t quit your day job,” and “When pigs fly.”

Really?

Not only did I have to teach what these expressions mean, I had to warn my students not to say these things because they are insults.

In other words, it was a wasted class session.

These expressions are very nuanced.

Nuance is an advanced concept.

Today’s students were beginners.

I sure hope they don’t come back to class tomorrow with a black eye.

Sarcasm is a bad idea for a lesson plan.
