Homeschool vs Public School: Schoolyard Slang Shenanigans (Busting Back Episode)

In this BUSTING BACK back to school podcast episode, Ella and Jackie go toe-to-toe with school slang! Jackie tests homeschooler Ella on current school slang and school lingo and public school concepts, while Ella does the same for Jackie.

• Have you ever wondered about the ins and outs of traditional schooling from the eyes of a homeschooler? 
• Curious about teen slang and how it compares to the lingo we grew up with? 
• What the heck does "gag me with a spoon" mean?
• Do homeschoolers have teachers?
• Why can't Ella and remember what grade she's in?

From deciphering school terminology to understanding the dynamics of classroom settings, we dive into some public school concepts with hysterical responses from a homeschooled student.

We journey further into the labyrinth of school culture, discussing homecoming dances, dress codes, student councils, and the quintessential school supplies. 

We also take a hilarious detour into the world of teen slang, comparing it to the 1980s' phrases and 80s school lingo from Jackie's childhood.

From 'Stan' and 'brb' to the oh-so-dramatic 'gag me with a spoon', get ready for a barrage of 'aha' moments and giggles. 

So buckle up for a joyride of laughter, insights, and learning with Ella and Jackie on this Parent Busters episode!

Speaker 2 0:01

Hey.

Speaker 1 0:01

Hi, welcome to Parent Busters, yes, welcome. This is a fun podcast where parents and kids may or may not learn together. I don't really know. Today I'll see, but I thought we would do something special today and bust some back to school terminology. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Well, as many of you know, ella Home Schools.

Speaker 2 0:24

Yeah.

Speaker 1 0:26

And I thought it would be kind of fun to oh no that's not. That sentence is not going to end well to ask you some questions about traditional, like public school or private school, some things that happen there, and see what your answers would be on it.

Speaker 1 0:45

Oh no, yes, yes, let's do it. You want to. I mean, yeah, you're up. Yes, you're up for it, you're up for it. Okay, so you know, ella has been homeschooled since, I guess, kindergarten. She went to a Montessori preschool, but then we have homeschooled her from kindergarten and she starts ninth grade this year. Yeah, oh, I'm old. Ah, you are old. How did that happen? Oh, no.

Speaker 1 1:15

If you want to know more about our homeschooling, or just homeschooling in general, and you're curious about it, we did a whole special homeschool episode, so you'll have to search for it.

Speaker 2 1:26

I can't remember the title of it right now. Yeah, Just go there, Add homeschooling in it.

Speaker 1 1:30

I think yes it has homeschooling the title Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere. It's not that she doesn't get out or doesn't take classes outside of the house, no, but I thought it would be funny to ask her some questions that happen at schools and see if she knows the answers to them. So you want to?

Speaker 2 1:57

Yeah.

Speaker 1 1:59

Okay, so I'm just going to go down a list of questions and you give me the answers.

Speaker 2 2:05

Oh no, okay, It'll be fun. I'm nervous for my okay, I was going to say for my reputation but, I feel like it's already low.

Speaker 1 2:12

Do you?

Speaker 2 2:12

have a reputation, not really. If being a weirdo is it, then yeah, I mean you homeschool.

Speaker 1 2:21

What's a teacher? I thought I'd start off with a softball question to get you going.

Speaker 2 2:32

Good job A person who teaches.

Speaker 1 2:35

Do you have a teacher?

Speaker 2 2:37

Yeah, yes, I have outside of the house classes. I do Plus. Well, yes, I do you. Technically you do. You're more of like a principal figure at this point.

Speaker 1 2:51

I think I'm a facilitator, which means, like I help you find the resources that you need.

Speaker 2 2:58

You're like the school counselor.

Speaker 1 3:00

Okay, I'll take it.

Speaker 2 3:01

Yeah, you're like principal figure mixed with school counselor at this point, especially when I was younger, though full on teacher person, and then I also have teachers that I do classes with.

Speaker 1 3:13

Okay, when you're in high school, who's your teacher?

Speaker 2 3:17

When I'm going into high school, who's my teacher?

Speaker 1 3:19

Yeah, not you, but now at regular. So if you went to a public school, who would your teacher be?

Speaker 2 3:27

I mean, I think there are many teachers for different subjects.

Speaker 1 3:31

I didn't even know that. You knew that. Are you crazy Really? Yes, you're right, you get different teachers for different subjects.

Speaker 2 3:39

Yeah so you have like one for math, one for geography, one for English, right, so we're if you're in when we'll just say public school we can mean public or private or whatever. Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:50

But when you're in. So this is my quizzing Ella on traditional school, busting traditional school terminology. When you have to go, say you had English and then history, what happens?

Speaker 2 4:09

Well, you'd be let out into the halls after one class. You have like let out into the halls, it's just made me funny. You get released into the masses.

Speaker 1 4:17

Okay.

Speaker 2 4:18

Then you have a few minutes to like collect your stuff, figure out where the heck you're going and get to there before either the door locks or you're just late, right?

Speaker 1 4:29

So Wow, have you been? I'm actually not. I didn't think you would know that one either, that you changed class rooms for every subject.

Speaker 2 4:40

You forget also. One I'm friends with people go to public school. Two, there's only teenager media on going to high school.

Speaker 1 4:51

Oh yeah, that's true. So this might be boring. How do you know where your classes are? So, the first day of school, how do you know which classes to go to, like, how do you know which classroom to go to for history? How do you know which classroom to go to for English?

Speaker 2 5:08

Well, I think sometimes you get a schedule right. That's correct. Sometimes you get like a guide, like hey, here's where, no, no.

Speaker 1 5:16

You might get that, yeah, 2019. Like, as a freshman going in, I've heard that for some places out yeah, like, maybe the first couple of days, yeah, but yes, you get a schedule before school starts.

Speaker 2 5:28

Yeah.

Speaker 1 5:29

And it tells you the classes, which teacher you got and what classroom it's going to be in.

Speaker 2 5:34

Hey, we do a schedule. Yeah, except it's not classroom and teacher. You already know which classroom it's going to be in it's me and my room. Or outside or in the classroom or in the kitchen table.

Speaker 1 5:48

How do you know where to sit in class?

Speaker 2 5:50

I feel like I've heard some schools have seating charts. I don't know about that much. Sometimes it's just like, okay, pick your seat if it's open. And then sometimes it's like, okay, you sit here, this is where you need to sit. Go sit by this person. Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 6:04

That's right. That is correct. Do you get to sit by your friends in class?

Speaker 2 6:09

If you're lucky.

Speaker 1 6:10

Yeah, sometimes if it's open seating, but a lot of times there's a sign seating yeah.

Speaker 2 6:15

How do you Sounds like it kind of sucks.

Speaker 1 6:17

Yeah, if you get stuck by some people. You don't want to get sit by, because you always want to sit near your friends.

Speaker 2 6:22

Exactly, but then they're like across the room and they're like huh.

Speaker 1 6:25

I don't know if any of your outside classes, if you've ever had to sign seating, maybe in Spanish.

Speaker 2 6:30

No, we didn't have a sign speed speeding. Sign seating in Spanish I just had. Especially in the early years I had a friend I was really close with and we always sat together, so that was fun. How do you know when class is over? Loud bell noise?

Speaker 1 6:46

Yeah, there's usually like a tone or a bell or a buzzer Panic. What do you need? What happens if you need to go to the bathroom during class?

Speaker 2 6:55

You need a bathroom pass, yeah, and you have to tell everyone in the class, including the teacher, that you have to urinate or do other things, and sometimes you just don't let you. Sometimes you have to sit for like two Right.

Speaker 1 7:08

Not that long. Are you secretly going to public school while I'm sleeping? Is this because you watched parts of Mean Girl? Huh, mean Girls.

Speaker 2 7:17

Uh no, I thought what was it? What was all in the ones A hundred things to do before high school? Oh, that's not very accurate, that's just fine.

Speaker 1 7:25

Um, how long do you get between class periods, so between your classes?

Speaker 2 7:30

I think it's a mix between like five minutes to like maybe 10, 15 stretching it.

Speaker 1 7:37

Yeah, I think it depends on your school.

Speaker 2 7:39

Yeah, depends on where you are and like how large your campus is and you know. What level of school you're in Right.

Speaker 1 7:46

So, you know, it can be a couple of minutes, you know.

Speaker 2 7:49

How long is it in like college? Well, you have a specific.

Speaker 1 7:54

In college you get the same. You get your schedule and it tells what time your classes are. Sometimes, because that class might only be offered at a certain time on a certain day, you're sprinting across campus to get to your next class.

Speaker 2 8:10

Which sounds like that sucks if you're on a huge campus. Yes, it does Sounds like from experience.

Speaker 1 8:16

You know you get savvy in college with your schedule and you schedule things like. I would never schedule physics first thing on Monday morning because you know or you want to try to do that when you just woke up. You try to schedule your classes so that you have Thursday afternoon and Friday off. Oh, because lots of things happen on Thursday nights and Friday nights at college.

Speaker 2 8:44

Playing Animal Crossing. Yes, playing Animal Crossing. That's my college night off plan.

Speaker 1 8:49

What happens if you don't get your homework completed in time?

Speaker 2 8:52

I'm trying to think through this. I know you can get in trouble for doing that. Sometimes. They're like fine, you get to redo this, but you have to have this in tomorrow. I feel like you could just get an automatic F, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 9:07

It depends on the teacher. But yes, all those can be right. What happens if the lesson is over but you want to continue learning more about a topic?

Speaker 2 9:16

You could ask the teacher, and you also probably just have to look it up or continue on your own.

Speaker 1 9:22

Yeah, you're on your own. They don't really.

Speaker 2 9:24

Unless you have a cool teacher, they might.

Speaker 1 9:25

True.

Speaker 2 9:26

That is true.

Speaker 1 9:27

There are lots of cool teachers.

Speaker 2 9:29

Then you stay after and answer questions, of course. Yeah that makes sense Of course.

Speaker 1 9:34

Why do you need a combination lock?

Speaker 2 9:38

Because people are sneaky and they like to take things out of your locker.

Speaker 1 9:44

It's for the locker or what's a locker code?

Speaker 2 9:46

It's a number you put into a locker.

Speaker 1 9:51

How many snacks do you get to eat a day? Is this in regular school.

Speaker 2 9:56

Is this something that's monitored?

Speaker 1 10:02

I don't know. You tell me. I'm asking you these questions.

Speaker 2 10:05

In between or in class? I'm sure people do, I don't know. It really depends on how many you can cram in your mouth during class.

Speaker 1 10:16

What can you eat in class, or when can you eat in class? I don't think you can eat in class no you're usually not allowed to, unless you're having a special day.

Speaker 2 10:24

If there's a come back and they're cooking or you're having some kind of party.

Speaker 1 10:30

How long is a lunch break?

Speaker 2 10:32

I'm going to say 20 minutes.

Speaker 1 10:35

It depends on the school, not very long 20 minutes, 30 minutes.

Speaker 2 10:39

Yeah, you don't get an hour. You don't get to sit and watch YouTube at the kitchen table while you eat your ramen.

Speaker 1 10:47

How many pajama days a year are there? We're asking this because, in case you don't know, that's a joke in the homeschooling community that the official homeschool uniform are pajamas. Yes, uniforms are pajamas. Then we also have to be prepared for like first breakfast, second breakfast, third breakfast. That's why I'm asking these snack and pajama questions.

Speaker 2 11:18

My uniform is just shorts and a t-shirt that I've been wearing for the past four days in a row.

Speaker 1 11:22

Ew girlies, I think that's every teenager, I mean that's not current no. How many pajama days are there a year?

Speaker 2 11:28

I feel like some schools do do like like oh, this pajama day, or blah blah, but I feel like typically zero.

Speaker 1 11:39

Yeah, they usually do like one, as they'll have a spirit week or a special week where they're showing school spirit, and a lot of times they'll have that as a pajama day. What's recess?

Speaker 2 11:50

Well Big. I first think going outside and like playing on the playground, but a lot of people just stay inside and chill. It's basically a break in between certain periods. How long?

Speaker 1 12:04

is recess.

Speaker 2 12:05

That's another thing that depends.

Speaker 1 12:07

I don't really know the answer to that. I would say, like Anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, I think it depends on the school.

Speaker 2 12:15

I was thinking in the grade level which still 45 minutes, still seems too short, like you need. You need a mental break man.

Speaker 1 12:22

What's a homecoming dance? I want to one of these it's. The other reason I ask this is because I think lots of people think that homeschoolers don't get to go to homes, homecoming or Prom and Ella already went to a homecoming dance.

Speaker 2 12:39

Yeah, I went to one with my friend when she was in eighth grade. What it I know has something to do with sports, and I forget exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 12:48

Yeah, it's generally like a home team sport, that they one of the home team games, oh that. And they have the dance after that.

Speaker 2 12:58

Oh, what's a homes homecoming, king and Queen, I Feel like it's pretty obvious, like you vote for who you want to be King and Queen, and then they get out there and they get like a plastic crown or something.

Speaker 1 13:12

How dare you how many key homes come homecoming? King and Queens are there.

Speaker 2 13:16

I think one per per Category, like one King, one Queen.

Speaker 1 13:23

One per grade usually. Well, what happens is there's like a prince and princess for every grade, and then usually the 12th graders get To be the King and Queen, huh, and then the rest of the people are there court.

Speaker 2 13:37

Are there any yeah, are there any other royalty rankings Jester?

Speaker 1 13:43

You would be the jester, I would love to be the jester. I will take that. What does it mean to break this? What is the school dress code? It's specific things you can and can't wear Mm-hmm. What? What does it mean to break the school dress code?

Speaker 2 13:55

You're wearing the things you're not supposed to wear.

Speaker 1 13:58

What happens if you break the school dress code?

Speaker 2 14:01

well, I think you get sent to the principal's office and then, if it's like a jacket or something, you probably have to take it off. If it's a shirt, you can't really do that.

Speaker 1 14:12

Yeah, you could get sent home. Yeah your parents could have to come get you. Oh no, what is student council?

Speaker 2 14:20

It's the council of students. So I'm gonna guess you don't know. No, no, no, it's, I just need to do that. It's a group of students that are elected that help out planning events and.

Speaker 1 14:35

Budgeting government things and yeah, yeah, like what are electives?

Speaker 2 14:41

Those are the things that I like to do, so like things that are fun, normal school stuff that you have to choose one or two that you can do, so there's like music are Sometimes there's like a language.

Speaker 1 14:58

Yes, they're the non required subject does, like cheer and sports, count. This are usually at back after school After school activities got it. Electives are the non required core subjects like math is not an elective. For example, how many days a week do you get to go to the library in high school?

Speaker 2 15:21

Oh, it really depends. If you need to get something from the library, I feel like Ah, I feel like you're gonna be mortified by this answer. Is it a? Do you mean the?

Speaker 1 15:33

external library or like a no, like the school library, oh.

Speaker 2 15:37

Well, I feel like, if you have time to study, I feel like some people go during lunch, but I'm gonna guess not a lot of people, usually once a week or once every other week.

Speaker 1 15:51

What Come on? What section do you get to read from in the library?

Speaker 2 15:58

I would hope everything because they have Wrong. If they have everything there, why can't?

Speaker 1 16:03

you read from everything. No, when you're in school, you are told what section you can and cannot read from.

Speaker 2 16:09

And yet, so they just have the other ones to like taunt you.

Speaker 1 16:12

Yes, whereas since you've been young, when we've gone to the library, if it's within reason, I mean I'm not going to let you read something explicit when you're six or old, but you still pick books. I still pick picture books. You still pick picture books as well as other books, but no, you're told very specifically which.

Speaker 2 16:34

And so they just have those to taunt you, right.

Speaker 1 16:37

Yes, I remember gazing longingly at some books when I was, you know, younger and I was like I really want to read that book, but you're not allowed to. So sorry, that's dumb. What the heck? What grade are you in if you're called a sophomore? Oh no.

Speaker 2 16:55

Why would you do that? No, why would you do that to me?

Speaker 1 17:01

What grade are you in if you're called a freshman?

Speaker 2 17:04

So this is going to be interesting. So freshman is first year of high school, which is Ninth grade, because I'm going into that. Yep, sophomore Is sophomore.

Speaker 1 17:18

Next, or is it the third one you tell me?

Speaker 2 17:22

You tell me, is that like 10th or?

Speaker 1 17:24

11th Sophomore is. Okay, let's go through. You know freshman is ninth. Yeah, senior is. I'm trying to remember what it Max?

Speaker 2 17:35

is that a? Is it 10th or 11th? Is it no?

Speaker 1 17:43

You should also know another. You should listen to the homeschool episode, and I will explain her confusion over this.

Speaker 2 17:51

I can barely remember what grade I am in at the moment.

Speaker 1 17:54

Freshman is ninth.

Speaker 2 17:55

Yeah.

Speaker 1 17:55

Sophomore is 10th.

Speaker 2 17:58

Oh.

Speaker 1 17:58

Junior is 11th.

Speaker 2 17:59

Okay.

Speaker 1 18:00

Senior is 12th which is your Wait junior is, which is your last grade level, okay, of high school.

Speaker 2 18:07

What I feel like junior should be at least like the second right.

Speaker 1 18:10

No Junior, then senior, so freshman, sophomore, oh yeah that makes so much sense.

Speaker 2 18:16

Yeah, you just go from being a child to an adult. Yes, that is exactly how it works. There's no middle ground.

Speaker 1 18:23

I like that at all. I like how angry you are at that I am.

Speaker 2 18:26

It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 18:27

How do you know which school supplies that you're supposed to use?

Speaker 2 18:30

Isn't there a list or something? Yeah, it's like number two pencil Every school has a specific list.

Speaker 1 18:37

That's it. And what if you want the super blinged out folders? We can not do that. No, so Can you decorate your folders.

Speaker 2 18:48

Yeah, I guess. Okay, that's worth it. That's fine with me.

Speaker 1 18:52

If you're not feeling well, like if you have a headache and you need to Tylenol or something, what happens?

Speaker 2 18:59

Either it's either the same situation as the bathroom, like eh, you're fine, but you go to the nurse's office, or, if it's bad enough, you can get a doctor's note and not have to come in the next day. Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:11

I feel like this went really well, to be honest. Yay, where do you shower after gym class? Public?

Speaker 2 19:22

showers. I used to do swim. Oh true, and we had public showers. When do you get to talk to your friends In between classes, if you can In class, if you're sneaky? You've heard, yes, passing notes whispering, whatever, it depends on if you're sitting next to them or if you pass notes.

Speaker 1 19:44

Congratulations. I think you're a public school kid now.

Speaker 2 19:47

Oh wait, was this what it was?

Speaker 1 19:49

No, yes, I'm here to tell you that in a couple of weeks you're not starting homeschool.

Speaker 2 19:55

No, Well, so you asked me a lot of questions, yes, and I have something for you to answer.

Speaker 1 20:05

Oh, no, okay, I feel like I could rock a school quiz.

Speaker 2 20:09

No, I think you're about to get schooled. Oh no, but um.

Speaker 1 20:12

Okay, what? All right, so I'm going to know.

Speaker 2 20:17

I'm going to quiz you on some slang from now, oh no, this might not go well. Yeah, and I have my friend help me come up with these.

Speaker 1 20:28

Oh, no, so depending on which friend it could be very interesting. Okay, I'll do it, but I just want you to know I'm really not good at like current slang.

Speaker 2 20:43

Okay, okay, to make you feel better, either am I. I have to do a lot of research.

Speaker 1 20:48

You're homeschooled, so yeah, but clearly, apparently you're going to public school at night, while I didn't know, because you knew. I think you got like a 95 on that.

Speaker 2 21:00

I never even watched high school musical, and my friend still isn't me for that.

Speaker 1 21:08

Okay, so you're going to quiz me on some current teen slang.

Speaker 2 21:15

Relatively current slang. Okay, some of these are ones that I You're going to keep it clean, right?

Speaker 1 21:20

Yes, because I know there's some current teen slang there.

Speaker 2 21:22

Yes, I did my research.

Speaker 1 21:24

Okay. So he's like I'm going to start out. Look, you got me nervous. I'm like nervously coughing and Okay.

Speaker 2 21:35

I'm going to start out pretty easy. Oh no, I'm going to help you nail this. What does heat mean?

Speaker 1 21:41

I only know this because you say it, and I you can blame.

Speaker 2 21:46

Once again, you can blame my friends.

Speaker 1 21:47

I don't know if it's an acronym.

Speaker 2 21:49

It is non acronym.

Speaker 1 21:50

Okay so it means to like throw something, I think yep, or like just to.

Speaker 2 21:59

Yep, yeet is to forcefully throw, usually without thinking you just like I'm gonna eat this.

Speaker 1 22:04

I think that I just represented that by what I did, didn't I?

Speaker 2 22:08

yeah, you just like did a little push Okay all right, so I got one.

Speaker 1 22:13

Yeah, I'm gonna keep track.

Speaker 2 22:15

Yeah, I'm, I can keep track play along at home. Oh, yeah, right down like it, how many notches you have, like you know, like the mean something else one, two, three, four and then five. You do the diagonal. Yeah, I got it. Did that mean something else? Okay, do you just keep going? Okay, yeah. The next one is an acronym.

Speaker 1 22:37

Oh no, I'm really bad at those. What does a k mean? Oh, also known as yep. That was way before you, by the way.

Speaker 2 22:45

I know these some of these are ones I use that I don't get. Okay, what does AFK? What are you crazy? Afk? Yes, it is not inappropriate acronym AFK. Huh, I know if you need a hint alternate food knowledge no.

Speaker 1 23:05

would you like a hint? Yeah, I just want you to tell me, because I have no idea.

Speaker 2 23:08

I Like your definition, it means away from keyboard. Huh, oh, I actually just learned this For some reason. I didn't know this. Huh, though I knew the general idea of it. Huh, okay, and apparently it was an early 2000s thing. I did not know that.

Speaker 1 23:26

Do you know how many questions you have? Because I'm only writing down the ones I got correct. I should write down incorrect.

Speaker 2 23:32

Okay, go ahead and count afterwards. What does slay mean?

Speaker 1 23:37

slay, slay it is a word, non acronym right, it means like Like I'm dead. That was funny. Like you slay me.

Speaker 2 23:49

I think that's technically correct, but now it's used as like that's really cool, like that's really slay, oh huh. So I should probably here I'll give you like a diagonal, like you got it half right, that is okay, because that's been around for a while, but I did not know that it had an alternate meaning. Now, yeah, what does suss mean?

Speaker 1 24:13

it means suspect.

Speaker 2 24:15

It means suspicious. Yeah yeah, there's another one that you're gonna get. What does lol mean?

laugh out loud. Yeah because I say lol, because I think it's funny. Instead of taking the time to say lol, I just say I physically say lol.

Teen Slang and 80s Slang
