Are there offensive terms or slurs that teachers call students?

Something like “pules” from “pupils” or “eager young minds” said sarcastically.

    You mean among themselves? Not at most schools. The culture of teaching is such that anyone using derogatory slurs for students would be frowned on. Teacher do occasionally tell stories of the things that frustrate them- the students who don't read the syllabus, the ones who don't turn in work and then want "extra credit", etc.
