    Yeah, everybody knows that kids can’t understand you if you don’t talk in memes.

      There is a psychology to using cringy memes. Can’t use them all the the time, and you need to fit the right cringe into the right place, but when you hit it, it does tend to make them remember a point they might not have.

      Much of teaching a classroom full of kids effectively involves a perverse mix of psychological warfare, manipulation, and entertainment. You should try it some time.
