That phrase as a terrible connotation for me. In High School my senior year (I think) I had a young physics teacher. She was the gymnastics coach, short, and wasn't good at classroom management. Some kids in my class found it funny to say the above statement over and over again in funny accents, during the middle of class. At the end of the year she thanked me for being nice. I don't think I even did anything out of the ordinary. I just wasn't a jerk.
I can list several other teachers with similar situations: 9th grade Biology, 11th grade Math, 12 yr old Sunday School Teacher...
Since High School I really haven't seen it much though, which is much appreciated. I certainly don't miss it. But for some reason I was thinking about it today. Just because someone is a teacher doesn't mean they aren't a person and you shouldn't treat them with common courtesy.
