How can I describe a boring person?

How would you describe such a person?

  • Here is one situation, in which I don't know how to describe one person's behavior correctly in English. Would you please read through it and then tell me how you would describe this person. In one private elementary school there is a manager who is responsible for providing teaching materials for teachers (textbooks, teaching props, materials for making crafts, etc.). Let's say this is the beginning of a new semester and he failed to prepare any of those materials, so all the teachers are empty-handed and have to come up with their own ideas on how to teach kids without any teaching materials. This is really a big trouble for the teachers, and it's altogether that manager's fault. Yet at the school meeting this manager stands up and says something like “we are all one team, and, therefore, we should all work hard together to make our school more successful, famous and prosperous; I really hope that all of you will improve on your teaching this semester and I expect you all to work

  • Answer:

    Like yakkydoc, I would say the manager is a hypocrite because he acts counter to the ideal of team-spirit which he professes. He is insincere, deceptive, dishonest.

In this particular example I would call upon the teacher to make right that which he did wrong, ie., order the materials.

This manager has done the team a disservice. The more time teachers spend finding the correct materials is less time for the teacher to spend lesson planning for classes. However, as an old retired teacher, I must say that when I began in 1963, the public schools had little to no materials. Teachers created everything for their classrooms. I have taught under both systems and if the manager has not done his job he has truly let the "team" down.
