I'm a retired 8th-grade teacher (33 years), and letters like these sound SO familiar. I still wake up at night screaming into the dark. Must be PTSD...POST-TEACHING STRESS DISORDER.
Hilarious🤣
😂😂😂🤣
I cannot believe parents really request this stuff...
my late sister taught early childhood students, usually 6,7,8 yr. old. In a very poor area. She supplied school supplies,
snacks to take home. Bought clothes for them, had everything they needed to wipe off and change into clean outfits, when they wreaked. She took early retirement at 51. Died at 61. Her grown children said most of her salary while working 20 years was for the needy kids. RIP Sis. Well done good and faithful servant.
God bless your sister (I am sure he did/is). My kids had a teacher exactly like that. What a treasure she was, and a great help to this poor single parent! I think of her often. Nothing I wouldn't do for that woman!
That’s nice, but we are NOT required nor should we be asked to spend our paychecks on students. I have my own bills to pay. The sheer ENTITLEMENT of this comment-as if I go to work to spend my hard earned money on your children and I should be looked at critically if I don’t.
And as far as a help to a single parent-not my job. My mom was a single parent and a teacher. No one helped her. Would you have expected my single parent teacher mother to pay for your kids things too? Cmon- there has to be some boundaries.
❤️
@@5mayalevi funny, 🧐, what I read was what this woman’s sister did which was go BEYOND what she needed to. I presume it made her happy to do that and that she maybe had someone else helping out with her bills. Not at all did I take the story as if you don’t do this you are a miserable failure to your profession and humanity. She simply shared her sister’s story because maybe she’s proud of her choices & likes to praise her. Relax. I’m sure you are an awesome teacher in spite of not choosing to donate your paycheck to your students. No one expects that. Ok, sane people don’t expect that. I’m sure there are some.
Teachers are supposed to teach children to read, write and do math. Parents are supposed to RAISE their kids.
It would be nice if teachers stuck to reading, writing, and arithmetic instead of trying to push their own agendas.
Apparently that teacher do not understand that she is responsible for teaching writing and reading . At least not to the non-native speakers. Hence the quality of an American Education.
wow parents need to grow up and stop being helicopter parents.
@@joyceutt3419 You mean so teachers can take over and teach kids pervy stuff and make sure they don't tell their parents?
@@TheMaryAnn75 She's not an ESL teacher.
I don't know why I continue to be SURPRISED by the audacity of parents today.
I need to find out where to submit some
Stories! The urge to quit is real!
@@PsychGirlRaven I’m so sorry. I teach in a small, Christian international school and don’t really see the same issues that are in these videos, but even without the drama, I know that teaching is hard and that teachers are underpaid and under appreciated (I have only been teaching for 3 years). THANK YOU for all you do!!
Exactly, since we pay your salary and you're supposed to know how to teach kids (reading, math, etc, not sex)
@@colorcolorwad1202 I’m not sure how to take your comment. It comes across in a rude way - maybe that was intentional, maybe not. But paying taxes does NOT equal parents having the right to make these asinine requests. Teachers are not personal servants. Yes, we expect teachers to be able to teach. But I would say we can do our jobs a whole lot better when our students aren’t acting up and when parents actually support what we’re doing instead of blaming us for their precious babies’ mistakes.
@@jengentry06 I understand parents need to teach their kids how act (I agree with that). I don't see teachers as "servants". I understand your job isn't the easiest, but I've seen A LOT of lousy teachers (esp those with special needs) that just don't give a damn about these kids. Maybe I'm on the wrong video, but (most) parents aren't the arch-enemy of teachers. I've heard special needs teachers yell at Autistic kids to "STOP DOING THAT!" when the kid is stemming....it's part of what they do and a teacher should be smart enough to know that. I'm really frustrated at the way our "educational" system is going.
I lasted 3 years in education and I would NEVER go back 😂😂 Godspeed to the people still in the trenches
Love love your comment. I tutor one on one. I love kids and I love my job, but I can only handle two maybe four parents at a time. There is no amount of money that could make me want to deal with 20 kids and 40 parents at once. Like you said, Godspeed to the ones that can lol!!
I've been noticing a lot of teachers talking about how they finally left teaching and are now making exponentially more than they were before, by doing only fans, and stuff like that!
Whoever is running the show just doesn't get it. These people _want_ to be a good teacher, they just aren't allowed to be. Not without spending ALL their hard earned money and time on OUR kids.
I can't blame them, one bit, for doing whatever it takes to finally take care of themselves. This is what you get when you don't appreciate what you have! This is why we should treat teachers better and it must start by paying them MUCH BETTER salaries!!
@@jeaniebird999 so true. You have to do one size fits all an leave kids behind that don’t pick it up as fast or bore the kids that learn quick. I can’t handle that. Let teachers teach an stop putting things on their plate that don’t belong like training your child to have manners an follow directions
May I ask what you do now?
I would love a new job.
There is a special place in "Teacher Heaven". I truly believe.
Teaching was great until I had to deal with moronic parents and administrators who thought their insane requests should be accommodated. Now I'm happily retired and don't miss those days at all.
My mom wanted to be a pediatrician when she was in UCSD. Then she decided against it because parents.
Ditto..... the year one of the teachers got bitch slapped on the stairs by a third grader on the last day of school, and the principal fired for molesting a female student was the year I quit.
ME TOO!!! Serious teacher shortage is coming down the pike!!
@@bluefinch6504 I know. I could see that coming 30 years ago. When public education gets short shrift, science and history become political footballs, and teachers are made out to be the enemy, it's not a surprise.
Parents schools and teachers aren't babysitters. Good God Girl Get a Grip!
Lmao; I taught teens for 12 years. Parents are frequently jackasses and they DO ask for things like this. It’s sad but true.
They must be the same people who call the police at a Drive- Thru restaurant.
And when you meet the parents you realise why the child is a jackass/is useless/a snowflake 😒
As a retired teacher of young children this was hilarious and I can sooo relate😂🤣😅
Three words: DUTY FREE LUNCH. And we don’t “give” grades; students EARN them!
Amen!!!!!!
She does not have to eat lunch with her student but she should be more than happy to help her make friends. There's an unwritten rule that teachers should go the extra mile for their students. If you're not willing to help a student who is going through stuff - even if you're just meeting with them after school once or twice - you're not a good teacher.
I once had an assistant principal tell me that when she was in the classroom a parent kept badgering her about her child's grade. She said her response was to the parent, "What grade would you like for me to give her?" The parent's response was, "I don't want you to give her a grade." My assistant principal said her to the parent was, "Well, that's exactly what you are implying, because your child earned the grade in question and you are not satisfied with that grade, so just let me know what grade you want her to have and I will put that in the grade book."
My favourite was the “round up” from a D to an A! That’s not a round up, that’s a steeplechase!
@@sadem1045 yes teachers will go the extra mile to teach their students. It’s not their job to be the social director too. Maybe that’s when the parent can step in and find activities for their child, outside of school and make friends.
Just a thought. 🤷🏻♀️
I WAS A TEACHER FOR 35 YEARS AND IVE SEEN MANY NOTES LIKE THESE FROM PARENTS. UNBELIEVABLE.
I’m sure you have stories 😂
One time one of my friend’s request from a parent was to give him 50 pounds for after school snacks 😂😂
I once had a kid ask me if I'd round his grade up for $20. I told him if that's where he's starting he couldn't afford me.
But if he had offered more you would have huh? YOUR A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!!
@@virginiasmith5895 yeah I should be replaced for telling a joke. You also seem like the type who would go around banning books because someone on Facebook said we should.
#VirginiaSmith It was a joke. Why on earth would you think anything else? Teachers are allowed to joke. In fact it's necessary to deal with any job that is stressful, and how people behave at work is different than how people behave on social media.
@@JesgateOnDown I had daughter-in-law who was a good teacher & have known other teachers! They are not teaching school subjects & far too many students are being passed from one grade to next simply to get them moving too many can't even read & write! Teachers far too many are teaching hate racism & anything but what is supposed to be taught in school! Like the fundamental reading writing math by teachers that try & care, not just doing their time knowing their job is always there year after year! THERE SHOULD NOT BE TENURE AMONG HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE TEACHERS! THEY ARE TOO LAX ALREADY & SIMPLY DO NOT CARE EXCEPT FOR THEIR OWN AGENDA OF THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT!!
@@thetrainhopper8992 yes I certainly reintegrate what have already stated!! Qualified school teachers are certainly needed! NO SCHOOL TEACHER SHOULD BE TENURED! They have no incentive to even try! This fits most & gets worse every day especially with the sex & sick lunacy they are trying to teach small children! Try school subjects!!
I work in the office and I once had a student that had a bathroom accident, #2, not #1. I called mom and asked her to come change her and or take her home to shower. Mom comes to the school, takes her into the bathroom and when she come back out she's screaming at me because her daughter had a runny bowel movement and I didn't tell her that on the phone. I said, there was no way for me to know that. Mom says, you could've stuck your hand in to check. 🤔👎😶😱 I'm serious. Can't make this stuff up. SMH.
I would tell her it's above my pay grade. Way, way above.
I would have said "ma'am you wanted me to put my hand in your daughter's backside. should I call CPS "
What the actual heck is wrong with parents today?! My parents would never had dared to say anything like this, they’d be so embarrassed that they weren’t doing their job.
There needs to be a mandatory courses + certification to being a parent. Lol
LOL! This cracks me up. "The only thing I wipe is the white board". Well-said, Teacher. Oy, what a parent to ask a teacher to do such a thing. She's not a babysitter, she's a teacher.
If a kid is old enough for school, he should already know how to clean his own butt.
Only kids with special needs will will have this, but they have a paraprofessional to do it. However, it sounds like this isn’t the case here. In that case, the child needs to learn.
It’s downright dangerous asking non-caretakers to do anything in the bathroom! My son has sensory issues and fought wiping but I was adamant that he learn to do it himself because he can NOT ever ask for help in the bathroom when he gets to school. The idea is horrifying.
@@abigailtrumbo178 my daughter has autism she is 4 and not potty trained yet I know preschool would help her out but I can't risk her being in a dangerous situation if she doesn't learn by school time she is getting homeschooled
@@beckydustin4713 She needs preschool and school for the socialization, but oh I get your concern. I know of a girl with Autism (or similar diagnosis) and she was difficult in preschool because of some of her behaviors, however once she was school aged and was able to be matched with a Special Ed classroom, an individual aide, and the correct behavior management plan for her, she's made strides in her behavior within the past two years.
Don't give up on your daughter and investigate the Special Ed options within your local school district, and ones in the surrounding districts (if open enrollment is an option too) to be able to find the best fit for your daughter. As well, her current issues with toileting may sort themselves eventually anyway. Several years ago my sister worried about that in regard to her son when he was 4, and interestingly he was able to suddenly become better potty trained just before he started preschool at age 5.
We homeschool and people always say “we couldn’t do that because my kids don’t listen to me” I have started saying “are you ok with them not listening?” Because that seems like an issue! How do you expect them to listen to the teacher?
I’ve never said this out loud, but I always think it to myself, “User error.” Your child doesn’t listen to you, they refuse to sleep in their bed and will only sleep in yours, they only eat garbage carbs for every meal… That’s not the child’s fault! You’re doing it wrong!!
@@Rosie_C yep! they let the kids run the house and that is why society is messed up
One day they will have to listen to someone, the cops or the judge.
Good for u, my dau. has homeschooled her 4, and those kids are way ahead of their peers. Ppl who knock homeschooling should really find out what they don't know. My dau. would spend about 2 hrs. a day on lessons and the rest of the time was outdoors, hiking, field trips, library time, baking, canning, gardening, etc.
Yuuuup.
As a mom with 3 elementary school aged children, my gift to my kids’ teachers is not being this kind of parent😂😂. I’m really easy going… I can’t believe (but also can) some of these.
As a teacher, I just to say thank you!💙🙏👏👌⭐
@@lorsange1107 as a parent.. THANK YOU!! I couldn't do it. My MIL was a teacher and FIL/SIL are teachers. The parents are the hardest part of the job it sounds like. THANK YOU!
Writing a thank you note to the teacher at the end of the school year is a lovely gift!
Weird parents' requests is an international diagnosis, I presume. Cheers from Russian teachers!
When I was teaching in the late 1990s, I had a parent find my number in the phone book. Called me to tell me to tell her daughter to clean her room.
The child got on the phone, I asked why are you not cleaning your room? The child screams OMG I'm doing it now. The mom comes back on the line to say, see I told you I would call your teacher on you! Then says thank you. Get this the child was in pre-K! Unreal
Abusively manipulative parent, right there. Poor kid.
I love how these parents think teachers get paid enough to deal with this stuff.
Teachers are highly paid for the number of hours and days they work during a year. But I don't think one teacher could accommodate doing the requests given the number of kids in a class.
@@wilberslater9967 First of all teachers are notoriously underpaid for all of the work that they do--who else is going to educate your children and prepare them for the world? Secondly when your kid goes home that's not necessarily when the teachers go home: my mom was a teacher for over 20 years and she would come in on weekends, she would stay late three, four, sometimes five hours after school & do lesson plans for hours. Obviously, you don't know any teachers or you would realize how mistaken you are. Or you do know teachers and you're just painfully oblivious.
@@wilberslater9967 That's actually false. The workday is longer than kids are in school, which is a full workday for most people outside the school. Grading, lesson planning, reports, etc, are done after class ends. Continuing education is required. Teachers work their asses off, and most of them pay for school supplies out of pocket in order to adequately teach despite underfunding.
@@wilberslater9967most are overpaid and can barely perform at their jobs.
As for teachers pay let’s not forget the long, fully paid holiday they enjoyed during covid.
I was a conscientious student and did well in school (graduated HS 1977). I would like to say I feel your pain but I only profusely apologized to one teacher due to my parent’s behavior. My mother had screamed at my honors chem teacher, who had given me a “C” the 1st marking period. It made no difference no matter how many times I told my mother I deserved it.
Such a crappy behavior from her.
@@lorsange1107 I was embarrassed, especially since I still had 3/4s of a school year to go in the class. I did work harder to bring my grade up.
“I didn’t want to grade it the first time”. You killed me with that line.
Best one is still when parent called asking the school secretary to put a plastic grocery bag over the child's head (to protect hairdo). Our secretary was as funny telling it as this gal...😂
🤣 Oh boy
Was it a colored child? Their hair dos can be uber expensive. I would not be surprised at a request like that but you think the mother would have sent a scarf wrap or something.
@@tomandamandasmolik523 Colored?…We’re not in the Jim Crow era anymore ma’am you can say black….
@@yasmeen8097 wow…just wow… your angry at a commenter for having politeness? You are definitely what’s wrong with todays generation.
@@sapphirerain70 So using an antiquated term from a time of racial segregation is being “polite”?? The word “colored” is offensive and racist because of its association with Jim Crow Laws. Hopefully you’re not anyone’s educator because I shouldn’t have to explain that to a teacher. If they were trying to be politically correct they could have just said African American. But no let’s choose a word from America’s racist past 🙄 I’m NOT what’s wrong with my generation, I’m what’s right. And I’m proud my generation knows better and educates our students to be better people.
At a certain point I told my kids their homework was their responsibility. If they had to repeat a grade or go to summer school, so be it.
I hope that point was first grade.
@@shangobunni5 Yeah, screw those kids, who cares why they are struggling with homework. It’s not like it’s a parent’s job to pay attention ti them.
So you'd let them fail rather than help if they needed it?
@@dianeladico1769 As cruel as it may sound - and I am saying this as both a parent and as a teacher - YES, you "let them fail." At some point, especially very early on, we have to teach young people to take responsibility for their actions. And the earlier, the better.
Also, see the response below about asking for help. Yes, children can always ask for help. To do so is part of the realization that they need it, and that they are taking responsibility. Asking for help is a good thing, especially if they don't wait until breakfast of the day an assignment was supposed to be handed in, and then reveal to the parents that they didn't do it.
@@jd3422 Everyone makes their own choices for themselves and their children and responsibility needs to be taught and fostered from the beginning, as developmentally appropriate. Actions have consequences and some only learn when it hurts. That being said, I agree with letting them blow a quiz/exam/assignment or two and learn from that. But to let them fail an entire grade without any intervention? If a child is slacking off to that degree something else is going on-some sort of learning or developmental challenge or something in the home that's not supporting the child's education in the way they need. Or they are just a late bloomer to being a self starter and need extra guidance. I am not for coddling in any sense but we can't forget they are still children and ultimately our responsibility as adults. We wouldn't tell a dyslexic kid to tough it out and not offer support, their brain is wired differently and that needs to be addressed. Learning time management and deferred gratification and responsibility is no different. Some kids are naturals, some need more guidance. You have to be able to tell the difference between needing help and making a poor choice, and respond accordingly, but I don't think a blanket 'sink or swim' is appropriate, not to the level where it costs them an entire year.
Among the many reasons I homeschool my kids. They get hot lunches AND friends all day ❤️ I’m happy to raise them and teach them!
Teachers do not get paid enough as it is. There should be some kind of a fee system that teachers can charge parents for asking stupid questions and making stupid requests.
I guess the schools need screeners who reject inappropriate communications from parents. But then the teachers wouldn’t have a full picture of what he kids are the way they are. The messages could be sorted into a “do not reply” box.
We’d all be rich I tell you!! 😂
There is a thing called a thermos . The other parents need to watch the family fudge to help with their need for hot food for their kids.
Right? Pack it in something that will keep it warm.
This one floored me. As someone who brings my lunch to work, I have my own small thermos, just big enough for soup, stew or a serving of hot food. It works great. How is it that a mother, an adult, doesn’t know about thermoses? Unbelievable!
When I as a school-aged child in the 70s I regularly received peanut butter & banana sandwiches, Kraft cheese slice sandwiches (one time mom left the wrapper on) and one time I actually had a full bag of cookies!!! (my dad insisted that my mom reuse the cookie bags because they were 'perfectly good' as lunch bags. Needless to say, I was the most popular kid at lunch that day 🙂
On more than 1 occasion I've had a message that a child won't leave the car could I come out and do something about it. What about the rest of the class supervision. But importantly when have children been in charge and parents can't control a 7/8 year old.
Id say they would need parenting class and how to communicate with their child... Like wow.. Heard of 2/3 year old roddlers doing that but... Not older kids THAT AGE. 😅🤔
Then get mad when you do not let their kids do whatever they want
I'd be worried if my child was so terrified of going into his school that he refused to get out of the car. You never know nowadays what kind of things are going on.
I have an idea. Since teaching is such an easy job, everybody should do it! I challenge all those naysayers out there who scoff at teachers to become one!
Excellent idea. They cannot even begin to fathom what we go through on a daily basis.
I think they are getting the idea in a small way with homeschooling during COVID-19. Now they need to multiply that by 30, and they might get some idea of what we do.
@@tsugima6317 Yeah, notice how pissed many parents got when they had to keep their kids home and deal with them all day instead of being able to send them off to daycare (school). Parents didn’t get a break from parenting and it wasn’t good for them or their kids. But some parents still don’t get that all the services they provide at home for their kids cannot possibly be scaled up and provided to the dozens, hundreds, or thousands of kids at each school.
@@shangobunni5 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the laughter is at you not with.
You are right! Most people who had to spend a full day in a classroom, taking care of issues, would have a rude awakening about the way the job works!
[Said as a retired teacher, 34 years in urban public schools]
Don’t even get me started on the contradictions involved in how teachers are supposedly grooming children but are also expected to help them in the bathroom.
...And are supposed to spend lunchtime ALONE with one student in the classroom. WTF ?!?!
Well, there ARE people in the school system (not saying only/all teachers) grooming children… And that’s horrendous.
Unfortunately, a lot of too-busy parents are oblivious to how they neglect teaching their own children in very basic and important areas of life (integrity, responsibility, etc.,). These things have fallen on the teacher’s shoulders.
More and more children are born with autism each day and the issues is they have bathroom issues for year and schooling helps them more than being at home my daughter has autism but I'm terrified to send her to school I might homeschool as she is 4 and not potty trained. I don't want the school to have to help her I want her to be doing that herself something about it seems wrong
no contradiction there. Some teachers ARE groomers. And teachers should be helping kids in the bathroom when they need it. You don't have to have an all or nothing approach. Both are true.
@@beckydustin4713 You may want her to do it herself but if she can't, she will need help. The school is required to provide the necessary supports to students to meet their needs. If she has a formal diagnosis you can get an IEP or a 504 which will outline the schools responsibilities. My autistic son is now 26, still wears diapers and cannot speak. I always had to fight for his rights. It is rare for a school to offer the right thing on their own accord, you will have to make them do it. They are required to diaper your child, give medications if needed, and offer speech therapy ect. There may be advocacy groups in your area that can help you learn and understand the laws and how to navigate the system to get what your daughter needs.
Hilarious!! I LOVE: "My first name is NOT Rosetta; and my last name sure ISN'T Stone!!" 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
This is hilarious. I am a teacher and most of those parent requests are sadly very familiar.
Are parents really so inadequate these days? If you can’t raise them don’t have them. This must drive teachers crazy.
"If you can't raise them don't have them." ...You might want to have a LONG chat with the entire Republican Party and the fundamentalist bible-thumping fanatical Christians on the Supreme Court of the United States about that...
This explains A LOT. I’m also guessing many of these so-called mothers, were Bridezillas too.
My goodness, this is crazy 😂Hey other parents- teachers are there to teach!
I’ve had some crazy requests from family members as a geriatric caregiver. But parents with school aged children take the cake! 😂🤣
That last one: "I didn't wanna grade it the first time, so what makes you think I'm gonna grade it a second time?"
Oh my goshhhh! I am cracking up- 25 years of teaching and I have experienced every single one of those “ requests”. This is hilarious- thank you!
Love your delivery. You must be a hoot in class. The child who wouldn’t get out of the car… I had the same situation, my son suffered from anxiety and depression. He eventually went to a residential situation. He graduated, but still suffers from severe anxiety.
My wife is a teacher and she has similar stories.
The funny thing is that the most ridiculous parent requests many times come from parents who are also TEACHERS!
Yes! I hate teaching children of teachers because sometimes the kids act entitled simply because mommy is principal, etc. Not all kids of teachers but oh so many.
You are hysterical! You need to take this on the road. People need to see you, lol. I needed this today.
I feel for you teachers. I use to be a teachers aide back in 2000s; I would never step foot in a public school again. It was bad then, I am sure it is way worse now.
Set foot.
“Step” has the meaning in a single word.
@@genxx2724 Well I stand corrected! I guess that is my backward school in Idaho!
@@77Tadams It’s a common error. There is a lot of misuse of idiomatic expressions nowadays. Nobody reads anymore, and they hear things incorrectly.
@@genxx2724 I use to use the idiom "Nip it in the Butt." It is "Nip it in the Bud".....But then again, I read, but I am schooled all the time. No worries! You should always correct people if they make an error. I take no offense of it.
maybe it is used to use. See. There are issues I have with our English and idioms. LOL
I've had the but wipe one.
No I didn't but I explained to the child how to clean properly 🤷🏾♀️ which the parent should have done
Every question: “Can you parent my child?”
Keep them coming. I love them.
Parents... I was a school nurse and I couldn't even give kids snacks because they might have allergies we aren't aware of... So to ask teachers to provide snacks is just unreasonable.
In primary grades (K-2), my teachers supplied is with snacks (usually big bags of crackers, etc.). After that, we were expected to bring our own snacks. And obviously we were careful of any allergies. (In 6th grade of we had something with peanuts, we had to sit at a side table and my "homeroom" teacher would spray the table down because some of the kids in other classes were allergic.)
no more unreasonable than the school providing lunch. The kids eat at school every day. I think the point here is that some kids were going hours and hours without eating. When my daughter was in first grade she had a schedule like that, due to space issues they had several lunch shifts and she didn't get to eat lunch until almost 2. Well when a 6 year old is eating breakfast at 6 am to get on a 6:45 bus, 2 in the afternoon is way too long to make them wait to eat. I don't see anything unreasonable about a parent wanting to address that or offering a solution or asking for the school to set aside a time for them to have a snack between those meals. A good teacher would notice this in her students and try to help them without parents having to ask. Teacher should have went to the principle/school board ect and said hey I have elementary age kiddos going way too long between meals, what can we do to make this better? Oh, I know, it's just a job; they don't really care.
Hilarious ! Are we all crazy, or what???!
I have 5 kids. I’m completely convinced teachers are among the most amazing people on earth! I want to train for the job…next life. Because it would seriously be the end of me in this one!
🤣🤣🤣
My five kids also were taught well. The public school system needs our support. My middle son now teaches High School English. He won the best teacher award in his district. He was just voted by the students as their favorite. He cares, he makes a difference, he is dedicated to student success. How was he so inspired? By some of his own incredible teachers. Not a school in a wealthy area, just a low to middle income neighborhood. The majority of teachers are in the profession because it is a calling; they sure are not in it for the money.
OMG! You are too funny! I taught elementary school music for 37 years and heard some doozies from classroom teachers. Your presentation is awesome. Made me laugh and I sure need to do more of that these days. Thank you! Bonnie, North Carolina
Teachers need to immediately send a note back to the parent with a similarly unreasonable request or at least a solution for them. It is unfortunate that parents need to also be taught some lessons.
This is hysterical. I taught kindergarten and I remember being scared of some of the parents
I am a retired teacher. You are so funny. Thank you for making me laugh.
LOL!!! Teachers are super hero's the stuff they have to put up with is just unreal. Normal humans would break... LOL!!
OMG, I'm not a parent, but even if I was, I would never even think to make a request for any of these things --- EVER. The nerve of some ppl. SMH.
😟🙄🤪
🤣 She's hilarious!
I ran a daycare for 30+ years, very similar requests LMAO
Daycare is different. Daycare is a mommy substitute, although of course it has to be regimented.
OMG! You have me laughing my butt off! I am so glad I found this video! Can't wait to watch more of them. You totally need your own sitcom!
Back in the early 90s they certainly did pry my little brother out of the car every morning. Equal parts Therapy and elbow grease sorted him out by second grading period
Both of my parents were teachers, both retired decades ago. Even then, too many parents were expecting to raise their kids and teach them morals and values. But now it’s gone to a whole new level.
LMAO!! I love you! Your responses are funnier than the parent requests!
21 years ago , I gave birth to a beautiful daughter. By the time she was in 2nd or third grade ,we knew and the school knew ,my child had anxiety.Years later diagnosed with autism, now almost 31 still lives with me.I love my child to the moon and back. I see your channel is about the things teachers do and go through. I want to reach out to the teachers who DID sit with my daughter at lunch time. My daughter has not graduated or even gotten her GED, not that I didn’t try. Therapists in the morning, therapists that would visit the school to check on her there,2 nights a week for 2 hours therapy at home.Since ,my daughter has been diagnosed with autism. When I look back on the teachers who cared and gave their time to my daughter ,to have a meal and a conversation. I thank you for your compassion, I know it is not your job to do so, but knowing you have that character and compassion gives me hope for other children, the children that are often called troublesome. You all brought a beautiful spark to an other wise uncomfortable day for her.❤
What a beautiful reminder that teachers are role models and that children learn best when they know the teacher cares. Schools bureaucrats and parents who want babysitters have made it hard for teachers to just do the basics of their jobs. Every child matters🥰.
Hats off to all teachers! I couldn't do it. Parents don't even wanna be around their own children, and for teachers to have to deal with them most of the day, and then have to deal with the parents too!!! No thank you.
I don’t understand why people have kids when they don’t want to raise them properly.
@@genxx2724 probably similar reasons teachers get into teaching but don't want to teach kids properly.
This is hilarious. I’m a nurse in a nursing home and I feel your pain. I have family members asking me to heat up their food to a certain temp, make sure their cell phone is charged…etc, etc. I don’t have time to pee, let alone heat food up. Take your family member home.
I love this! ❤ At the end, the last parent request is very familiar to me as a high school teacher, including my AP classes. 😂
Oh, Lordy! That’s depressing. I hope those kids go far away for college so their parents’ interference in their development toward adulthood will be somewhat hampered.
"I didn't want to grade it the first time!” Love this lady!
These parents willl be raising their kids forever. Burp me mom, wipe my ass mom, feed me mom. 😂😂😂😂
I like when parents were hard on their kids at home so school came easy for them.
Like, what happen?!
Right?!
I've had so many requests for reheating lunches! Others about making sure they're drinking the daily recommended water amount and even making sure they're peeing without having drops on their clothing. It's shocking really! 🤣
well my experience as a parent is that the teachers expect small children to never make a mess, don't care if they are sick, have unrealistic expectations of them. My daughter had teachers who did not schedule regular bathroom breaks and I found out some of the kids were wetting themselves, I mean really? I took care of that real quick. Also many of the teachers don't give the kids time to actually get a drink. It's like your kids are only a number and this is only a job and they don't care at all if they are not even taken care of.
@@cmnr8487 That's a shame you've had such bad experiences with multiple teachers. Fortunately, I don't work with any like you described!
Oh WOW! 🤯😆
I love her delivery...it's spot on!
You can’t “round up” from D to A. That’s called vaulting…🤣🤣🤣
Buaaaahhhhaahahha “Can you round my sons grade up from a D to an A?” 😂😂😂
As if it’s one point, the question was ambiguous, and the child gave one of two correct answers.
I love your facial expressions! 😂
Her faces are Giving!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I ❤️❤️ It
Adding a coffee maker, personal food warmer and 6-can fridge to my class has improved my life drastically. Highly recommended 😂😂😂
I assume you also paid for all that yourself? Too bad there isn’t enough money to supply the schools with things like that to make life easier.
My cousin teaches French and Spanish at our local high school, and he just spent his own money on an air conditioner and a solar panel to supply electricity for it, because his classroom was so hot in the summer months.
If we keep neglecting the schools, we’re going to produce more morons like these parents!
I know right, it's like this grown woman doesn't even know how to make a sandwich and just thrives on complaining about how bad she is treated as a teacher.
I have quite literally heard parents asking teachers to help “wipe” their children when they go to the bathroom. It takes everything I have inside NOT to ask the parent why they are not toilet training their kids AT HOME.
Dear Parents: as a mom of two grown kids, IT IS THE PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS KNOW HOW TO WIPE THEIR OWN ASSES. If they are coming home with skid marks, grade yourself as a parental “fail” in the area of toilet training for that week . . . and UP your home training game.
Full stop.
Abso-friggin-lutely!! I’m thinking teachers need to add some diplomatic statement regarding this problem to back-to-school-night presentations in an effort to nip this sh*t in the bud. Something like, “School staff are not permitted to help students with personal hygiene issues that may arise in the restroom.” (Of course special ed is different.)
I was wondering about hat one, too! Does this mean that that mother wipes her kid's butt for him at home?!?
@@ttintagel
Sure does.
Sometimes little kids have accidents. I appreciate that this is something that it is difficult for teachers to deal with because of safeguarding. That said, as a parent classroom help I took the risk to help a little one in a situation of extreme distress and embarassment and spoke to the mum at the end of the day to explain what happened and how I had helped the situation. I did know the mum and child concerned and the little girl had been very seriously poorly and was newly returned to school. The mum appreciated the help rather than her little girl be in an upsetting situation. I feel sorry for teachers and children in this difficult situation...perhaps the answer is to be as kind as possible and call the parent to come in and resolve the situation to spare embarassment and distress to everyone.
@@shelleyphilcox4743
Accidents and daily expectations are completely different. Even adults have accidents. Though, yes, kindness is key in every situation.
Pampered kids with helicopter moms. Great stories…thanks for sharing!
These requests from parents are prime
examples of why kids these days feel and act entitled. It all starts at home!
Oh my gosh, I love you so much. ❤ 😂 Fight the good fight you amazing Soul You!!
Teachers aren't recognized enough for what they do. A fireman may respond to fire once in 5 years or so and he or she is haled as first responder heroes. A teacher is a hero every minute of every day of every year. They are attacked by students, parents, and the media. They deserve more respect for trying to make educated out off the nearly impossible to be educated. Thank you so much teachers.
I love you!! You are hilarious. But it’s so true these requests! Thank you for putting it out there so that people can see (and hopefully understand ) the crazy….
😂😂😂 You made me laugh 😂 I have 3 daughters & am stunned at these requests ha ha , My 3 daughters all have 2 children
Our principle came to our home and took our teenage son school when he was having school axiety. We were so grateful that he cared so much. Now our son is doing great in his secondary education to become a trained plummer.
she’s hilarious!!
And real!!
Yes she is. Also she is working with great material. Apparently some nut job parents are comedy writers.
Omg, I just found your channel and I'm in Love!!! How have I gone this long without you being recommended before?! You are freaking Awesome!!!✌️❤️😊
As a para, I got asked to reheat kids' lunches all the time. It was such a time suck. 😐
The PTSA at my campus purchased 2 microwaves for our cafe. Kids spend 10 minutes waiting to heat/cook their food and the complain they don't have time to eat!!
This is not a problem at schools where I live. Kids don’t have access to a microwave and no one is heating up no one’s lunch, period. They better bring food that can be eaten cold or at room temperature.
@@chrism9294 yea, and this is why your school fucking sucks. Find it kind of strange the pride you take in knowing that there will not be a single “heat source” provided to your students. Grow up man, learn to be understanding of student circumstances. Some of you should not be in this profession.
Ugh. This.
We have to say no…(I barely have time to heat and eat my own lunch 🙄)
🤣🤣🤣omg you got me in stitches laughing so much..... how do these people survive day to day? I watched a few of your videos so far and just had to comment here on the first one I watched...🤣🤣🤣and the multiply too.... why
I overheard some Paras at my school. They said a parent told them they didn't want their kid on the bus because it went to several different schools. She thought the bus only went to our school and they said when he's not on the bus he gets to school late everyday
I don’t understand you have school buses that makes stops at different schools? i’ve never heard of such a thing. Around here everybody on the bus goes to the same school
@@beckycaughel7557 I'm in NYC they probably have too many students for that
@@danastahl-herz298 huh?? in NYC, we use public buses for school bus. You get a metro card from the school..
Non city, more than two miles away would get a bus. Public city schools are not required unless special needs or field trips.
If it's a special needs situation, I could understand going to more than one school but it also would be a requirement to let the parents know and they gotta sign off on the transportation release 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks everybody that makes more sense now. I didn’t know that they used public buses in New York. That would scare me to death as a parent. Do they even put elementary school kids on the city bus?
Just ran across your channel. You are so funny. Thank you as the world needs to laugh right now.
Friend at lunch one was just sad.
When I was younger, my grandma was sort of like this. I was in 1st grade and every day she would demand that the teacher should stop turning on the AC because I was constantly getting sick. And obviously it was a lose-lose situation, because I literally didnt care abt the AC, and obviously I wasn't getting sick from it, instead children often get sick from just being arround eachother. And my teacher had to put up with nasty calls from a mean angry grandma. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!
Yeah, and let’s give all these parents more input into the curriculum. Had a parent of a chronically tardy child tell me that a caring school would start class when her child arrived. 🤷🏼♀️
I love your expressive face! Subscribing!
Wow. I needed a good laugh. Thank you!!! I work in customer service and entirely understand these ridiculous comments, unbelievable how out of touch with reality people can be!
Seeing a lot of slamming on SPED teachers. My 30 years working with kids with all kinds of disabilities in classrooms from K-12, I only once witnessed a unprofessional teacher, which I reported to Administration. She was removed. These criticism are unwarranted. These teachers displayed great patience, compassion, dedication to these precious students. As did I.
I had the pleasure of getting 2 special ed aides fired for not doing their jobs. My son wore diapers and one aide started calling me everyday to come change him. I finally reported her to the head of special ed and they let her go. The other aide was a therapist the school sent to my house once a week to work with my son. I found out she reported me to DFS because she did not like the way I was feeding him. He had severe food allergies, so that is why I was "mean" to him and only let him eat certain foods. When I told the school how I knew she reported me, they fired her. It is against school policy to report a student to dfs without filling out forms ect and she did not follow that policy. I had one teacher who had the special ed students sorting trash for a recycling program. I said he can't do that, he puts stuff in his mouth, that's disgusting. She was like oh, well too bad. I went back the next week, still bins of trash by the door. I told her if they were there again the following week I would seek legal counsel. By the way, is the schools star football player sorting trash too? I never seen it there again. The list is SOOOOOO lengthy. I had to fight all the way. He is 26 now, and still lives at home. I will always care for him until I am dead. Since he doesn't speak, I can't trust anyone.
Oh my. You just popped up on my feed. You are awesome. Keep up the good work.
You are sooo funny 😄
All is soo true 👍
Parents need to be educated before the kids..that will make everything better
WOW!!!!! Just WOOOOOOW!!!! These parents aren't doing their children any favors...or our society!! This lack of parenting will absolutely be blatantly obvious when these children are "adults"...the ripple effects are in effect already! Thank you so much to all our incredible teachers!!!
Lol, people go to jail for that .. everyday!!
Bless all you saints who put up with this nonsense!! I tell all my son's teachers every year the only "request" I have is to let me know if he gives them ANY problems. Only had to happen once.
You are funny! And parents are nuts.
I just stumbled upon this channel, and I gotta say …
OMG, I LOVE IT 👏👏👍👍!!! THIS is the GREATEST WOMAN OF ALL TIME 🥰💪❣️!!!!!!!
Hilarious!!!!☺️🙆♀️🤭😂
What a funny gal!
