Do you think it's okay for him to make this threat even if it was a "joke"?


A 42 y/o Whacko drill sergeant style teacher attempted to motivate his students by bringing a cute puppy to class but his "nice" rant ended with a faux threat to KILL THE DOG if they FAILED to win a vocabulary competition!!

Ryan Price is a high school teacher at Buckingham Charter Magnet High School in California who introduced his bizarre motivational tool to class last week

He told his students that they are "just head" in their national vocabulary contest but that their nearest rivals were closing in and in a bizarre off tangent speech, he said "hey, listen up you guys, let's talk about the vocab bowl. I know we are winning irght now, but i want to expand our lead. Ash County Middle School is closing the gap, so to motivate you i've got us a mascot."

He then brought in the golden retriever named "Buck" as kids cheered with joy but then said "This is Buck, the vocab mascot to encourage you to do your bucking vocab. If you dont' do your vocab and we lose the Vocab owl, i kill the dog. I will break his neck"

Children in the class then scream shouting "no" before the video cuts.

It's not known if the administration knew of this stunt...

Do you think it's okay for him to make this threat even if he was joking?

I could see that being a joke easily but of course even if you aren't going to kill it this would never be received well.

He said "bucking" and threatened to snap a puppies neck to middle school kids? What are they like 11 and 12 or something?

Seems like a pretty obvious joke but you can't be surprised that it didn't go over well. Although he does kind of have that look...

I'm guessing he just has a fucked up sense of humor.

Getting through to kids is hard these days(because kids themselves are so difficult) and I imagine he finds his humor effective in getting them involved. The problem is going overboard with stuff like this.

I feel like a lot of it has to do with the tone of how you say it, but at the end if the day I'll take what somebody means over what someone else thinks they mean

I want to snap his neck. What a horrid teacher.

Hate him.

Edit: I know some of you think this is a joke, but it's a horrid one. I hope his students are in high school at least (some high schools have middle school grades as well). Even then this is horrid. All he had to do was get the doggo and he would have encouraged his students. Heck he could have just said they would get an hour to play with him if they won, and accomplished any goal (Besides being a monster) that he wanted in encouraging them.

Not funny, and potentially traumatizing to some kids.

Pretty dark. But seems to be an obvious joke. In the end, who cares as long as the dog is still alive...

Striking this fear into his students is defiantly not the best move. Although I guess it depends the context to how this was said as to if the joke was clear or not.

What a great motivational tool to instill healthy studying behaviors. If you don't study, the things you care about or love will disappear. Imagine wanting kids to grow up thinking like that.

But it's literally true. If you don't work, you or people you know could die

So imagine wanting kids to grow up thinking actions have consequences?

Study is not the same as work. And even if I said work that doesn't really change the core of the issue.
