“I before E” seems like the kind of thing a country schoolmarm came up with in 1875 because it rhymed and made them feel clever
Is this not how teaching works?
I mean, yeah, at least in many parts of America
I noticed in high school that there was a contingent of teachers who got off on showing just how much more wise and smarter than the students they were.
I had a teacher in high school that was absolutely positive the Chinese Army was going to invade the US any day now
I had a doomsday preppers as my computer science teacher in college, this was before preppers was a show. He was convinced we would run out of oil in the next 10 years and the government was lying about it.
Yes, hello, this was my uncle
He would bring all sorts of charts and graphs to our family reunions
Yeah, this fella had a Texas ranch, and all sorts of interesting advice on what to do where to go, and where not to go.
To be fair, kids are dumb af and if I was a teacher I would be constantly in their face yelling BOOYAH whenever they got something wrong. Repeating their wrong answers in a silly singsong voice and throwing up loser signs.

the complete mnemonic is "I before E, except after C, unless the word rhymes with 'weigh'", which covers a lot more exceptions but is starting to get convoluted to the point where maybe it's not a simple as a catchy mnemonic because English is a bastard language
Allegedly a voice of reason.

You have to imagine regular cannibals have favourite kids of human meat. What nationality of person tastes the best? What diet results in the most flavourful cuts?

I like record breaking.
