In my distant schooldays we had a teacher whose vision was poor despite his thick glasses. We called him Squinty. It was cruel and stupid of us. Don't do things like that.

How likely do you think it is that we're going to help you and your classmates be rude to your teacher(s), given that a lot of us are teachers ourselves?

Beak is an old-fashioned word for head teacher. In my experience, people are just generally rude about an individual teacher and pick on specific characteristics.

What I need is a generic slang name for any teacher not just for this or that. Like we call 'cop' any policemen.

NOT A TEACHER
Here in the United States, some young people might occasionally use the word "teach" as slang for "teacher."
1. "I'm not in trouble again, am I, Teach?"
Google result: Your Dictionary "teach" meaning
2. "Yo man, got that [unpleasant] English teach next period." (American secondary schools traditionally have six classes or periods each day.)
