This might sound rude but if this happened to me I'd petitioned to have a new teacher

This is actually used in process handling programs related to operating systems. A fork is actually a system call to create a new process which is an identical process to the parent process but having different process ID where as pipe is a system call that facilitates inter-process communication.
