I had a kindergarten teacher try teaching syllables by clapping them out while saying the word: ๐Ÿ‘ ALL ๐Ÿ‘ I ๐Ÿ‘ GATOR! Alligator! ๐Ÿ‘ ALL ๐Ÿ‘ I ๐Ÿ‘ GATOR! Three syllables.

Tried correcting her, she just clapped and said gator again.

I saw someone do this in teaching program evaluation materials once. Except the teacher did it with the word brown and stretched it into three syllables.

Br ๐Ÿ‘ ow ๐Ÿ‘ uh ๐Ÿ‘ n.

I remember thinking to myself "America is doomed." Sometimes I still think about that teacher when I see people get tilted over dumb, made-up shit on social media and turn into reactionary morons around election time. Br ๐Ÿ‘ ow ๐Ÿ‘ uh ๐Ÿ‘ n. America is doomed.

She would have been right with "CROC-A-DILE" though

I mean, clapping between words (syllables in this case, but who cares) automatically makes your claims the indisputable truth. Anyone with some internet experience can tell you that.
