Claire Hoy, a student teacher at Békéscsaba High School in Békéscsaba, Hungary, was attempting to teach her ESL class the difference of two words with the help of a diagram..or so she thought.

“In an attempt to explain the difference between ‘precise’ and ‘accurate’ I decided to use the target of an analogy,” Hoy said.

She then drew two targets on the board and then realized that to a room of teenagers, the two targets resembled a part of the female anatomy.

“I was working with 15 17-year-olds, so even after I panic-erased them, it was difficult to get them back on task,” Hoy said.
