Well, here’s the weirdest “bucking” thing you’ll see all day … a teacher cracking a joke about killing a puppy in order to motivate his students to win a vocabulary competition.
Woof!
A California high school teacher named Ryan Price at Buckingham Charter Magnet was trying to get his class fired up for the “Vocab Bowl” — in which it was leading over some rival schools — by bringing in a brand new mascot … an adorable puppy named Buck.
Pretty awesome method of encouragement! Except … Mr. Price then goes on a rant about doing your “bucking vocab” and issues a threat to the kids — if they lose the Vocab Bowl, he’ll “kill the dog.”

To be fair, it clearly seems to be a joke — albeit a tad deranged — but the teacher also recently posted a TikTok explaining why he got Buck … and it’s a pretty sweet story!
But then, yet again … he ends his video with “Please don’t make me kill this dog. Do your bucking vocab!”
They say the ends justify the means … but this is a little much, Mr. Price.
We’ll be checking in on Buck if the students blow their lead in the Vocab Bowl.
