You crack me up! I am ashamed to admit it, it took me 20 years to just give it up and leave those papers at school. At times I only took one or two class folders, just in case I got to them. 😂
I'm a retired middle school science teacher. Every time you mention the "aroma" in your classroom, my brain brings back that SMELL that was always in mine!! All my students had social/emotional IEPs and they would wear the same clothes for most of the week!!!! If you breathe in too deeply it'll kill ya!!
For several years I taught freshman, I had mostly football players (in one class I literally had 24 football players and 1, yes one girl!). Need I say more?! 🤢
Today I had to talk to a student about why he wasn’t wearing a shirt (got ripped off playing basketball the period before) and then gave him one of mine I keep just in case. Well it was way to small and pretty feminine but he wore it with pride. I could not hold back the laughing. It was great.
Today I asked M why he wasn't getting in line and he said because Talaylay tied him up. Yup. She used the strings from his hoodie to tie him to his desk. And he just let her without saying a thing.
I'm the daughter of 2 teachers and the sister if another and she cracks ME up! I'm the odd one as a nurse (not a school nurse though lol). People wondered why I was so good at "patient teaching". I come by it honestly!
🤣🤣🤣 I dragged a small suitcase on wheels home EVERY night and weekend and all they did was go on a field trip! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Most of the time I live a 1/2 hour from home. I was always early and dead by end of the day and had to come home to everything my home and children needed (single mom). They ate a lot of frozen pizza and McDonalds.🥴 I had to go on disability after a horrible year of being harassed by the superintendent. I loved teaching and my kids but at 62 I am sooooo happy I don’t have to get up at 5 on maybe 5 hrs sleep and no more dragging that small suitcase 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you and your videos ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
My period 3-4 6th grades - perfect!! My period 5-6 7th graders … let’s just say I had 2 campus supervisors and an assistant principal in my room to help me deal with the madness. I have about 3 Tristans in my class and they know how to push the right buttons to set the explosives and 💣💥
I love your stories! Unless you've worked in a school, been a classroom teacher, or support, there are just some things you wouldn't understand and have to laugh at! Thank you for bringing a bit of levity to the day.
I love what and how you work, love, and live. absurdity is my favorite form of humor, but only when those around you can recognize it - presumably - too! You have all. the qualities of my favorite teachers. Keep sharing - we all need to know how you're surviving these hyper-trying days. Blessings to all!
Technology always stops right before you need it to work. I remember when Google crashed (freaking Google didn’t work and we couldn’t Google why Google was down). Beyond that I almost expect PowerSchool to crash most days at some point in taking attendance
Perfume is a big one on my school bus. The other day I asked them to refrain from splashing it on until they were out in the open air because I couldn’t breathe.
Girl I had a baby (non-verbal sped) come up to me, take my hands, and start rubbing them. I am like baby why your hands so cold? It was vomit! The child puked, played in it and brought it to me!!! I am old, I am tired, and I am losing my whole mind this year!
I'm not trying to start a fight of any kind but I have to comment on one aspect of your note. You know that students aim to live up to high expectations, and will settle into poor behaviors if there are low expectations, right? And you know words have power, right? Well calling your student a "baby" infantilizes him/her. Please try to break that habit, for the students' sake. Thanks for reading.
@@Joy21090 first of all honey, I’m from the south. We do what we do. This sweet boy is six years old chronologically only. He is very low on the autism spectrum so definitely below grade level. He is my heart just like the other six babies in my classroom. Again, in the south baby is a term of endearment. So please think before you speak. Bless your heart!
I’m right with you on this disgusting behavior. No one would expect vomit on a child’s hands, and it has NOTHING to do with high expectations!! I retired after teaching all of 2020-21 virtually cuz I was old, tired, and had lost my mind! Now I’m very happily tutoring - no lesson plans or grading - and collecting my pension!
Grading papers is such a chore. I think my grandson 's teachers never grade papers because they give the kids quizzes on the Chromebook. I don't think the kids even do paper and pencil activities any more. Almost all the assignments are on the computers nowadays.
I wish I could say the same about cologne this week. I was handing out papers today when suddenly I hit a wall of cologne during my period 6. I backed up so fast. I then proceeded to cover my nose with my sweater and then continued forward into the cologne zone. Smh teenagers.
@@Joy21090 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. Hopefully it can combat the mix of sweat, Axe body spray, an outlet store for Bath and Body Works and the lack of deodorant that constantly assaults my nostrils.
Oh technology! My school’s had internet problems since December. IT has said it’s been fixed since Christmas, but one of the 4 Wi-Fi networks doesn’t work in my room and the one that does censors everything. Recently, the internet was out all day so I put on King of the Hill and we learned about how tv shows have elements of literature. And we did it all on paper . They were happy and pissed at the same time! 😂 I’m just glad we get this week off.
I started a habit of saying "It's not going to work" when trying to set up tech and my freaking Kindergarten students picked up on it and started copying me. One even high fived me after he kept repeating it while I set up a benchmark test on his school laptop 🤣
After 2 years spent online, I decided I was tired of screens. Plus, some of my high school English students "have the writing of a serial killer" to quote Clairee from "Steel Magnolias" and they need the practice. So I'm making them write EVERYTHING. Notes. Spelling word definitions. Their discussion question assignments. I'm so mean I'm even making them write out their unit literary terms on NOTECARDS! To hear them speak, I've completely ruined their lives by this. I always think to myself, "You're precious. What do you think we did before laptop computers were a thing?"
I teach writing and social studies...I tell them to get out a sheet of paper and a pencil every single day and make them take notes and write every single day...all year long...every time they complain...LOL
Internet went down on me this year during my one formal observation. Of all the dang days! I was stressing and trying to adapt the lesson to paper based on the fly. 😢
I can *feel* the air when the eighth graders come in from recess on a hot day. It wafts down the hallway and hits me in the face with a stank that is just nasty. 🤢
That is the worst! Happened to me last week, I finally turned it off and back on! Thank God that worked! I still have an overhead stashed in my room in case of emergency!
True story; brought my homework home for the weekend. And it sat in the corner, in its bag, like a good little soldier. Hopefully I remember to bring it back tomorrow morning……
High-lerrus! TRUTH: When technology messes up it’s sometimes a wasted class period. Plain and simple. If it takes me out of the zone too long this car is off the track until class ends. Ooooo 👃 and them smells-ugh! 😱 🤮 Locker clean outs every quarter is a must! I’ve been where they only do it twice a year. It’s always needed sooner! Just take that time and throw that molded, stinky, nasty sh$t out!
That's my new catchphrase duri g middle block, most of my middle school class has PE right before, I'm walking in shouting,"why's it smell like wet chitlins in here? Now take out a sheet of paper and a pencil!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are too funny!!! I think the "technology's fault" has happened to all of us at one point or another. Administrators always come in and observe when the students are acting crazy or the technology is acting crazy.
Technology has it out for everybody. Always have an analog option. (You can write on the board too, even if that means the whiteboard feature on the smart screen.) But my papers take field trips home too. Lol
I just got to where I loved takin notes and writing bc I knew I had to do it 😂😂🤷🤷 All those years copying the board n the teacher goin too fast n erasing it before I could get all of it n kids these days have computers lol
Ya'll are spoiled with the technology. LOL I taught in the mid 80's and the only "technology" we had at that time was a desktop computer. No Promethean board, no digital projector, no document camera, nothing but a green chalkboard, chalk and textbooks. Eventually worked up to a dry erase whiteboard. When I retired in 2013, the school had the modern equipment however but no document cameras. We did have a tablet cart that rotated between classrooms for each class to use once a week. Everything ya'll speak of "slides' and such didn't get used back then.
We have ONE TECH GUY for the projectors and smart boards for our entire district. We have 31k students and 3200 teachers. If one of them breaks, who knows when they’ll get fixed. And they updated internet security, so videos that are required in the curriculum are now blocked. I give up. 🤬
School sure has changed in the 53 years since I graduated. Our "technology" WAS a pencil and paper! If anyone back-talked a teacher, that kid was walking funny the rest of the day. Today's students need a bite of a reality sandwich!
I just recently started watching you you make me laugh I hate admit this but I am the mother of a child who probably drove a teacher crazy did terrible things like fake seizures pretending like he was peeing in the science room sink pull the fire alarm once told the teacher once I never fed him and he was starving that's why he was bad at school( and she fed him( I'm sure on the hope that he would be good the rest of the day LOL my point to all this is the Revenge comes later when they have their own children and that child is worse than they were because I went to pick my grandchild up one day and he came running out the door my son that is and he said Mom whatever I did to you growing up and to my teachers I'm sorry!
"The papers go on a field trip to my home" 😂😂😂 Love it!!💯⚜️😄
I love this. My papers are chillin’ on the counter right now. 😂
💀🤣
You crack me up!
I am ashamed to admit it, it took me 20 years to just give it up and leave those papers at school. At times I only took one or two class folders, just in case I got to them. 😂
My students papers regularly do this!!! 😂😂😂
Yup I always brought them home, left them by the door, & brought them back to school. 🤣
Five in the morning being "up before jesus" is definitely entering my metaphors LOL! SO TRUE!!!!!!!!
My best friend in DC calls it 'fo dawn!
I just love your videos as you crack me up too. Your laugh is contagious, you would be a wonderful coworker and teacher. Thank You for making my day.
You absolutely cracked me up! Love, love your "Day in the Life" of a School Teacher!!!! Keep bringing "Teacher Life Be Like" when possible!

Elementary school child funk is worse!
For several years I taught freshman, I had mostly football players (in one class I literally had 24 football players and 1, yes one girl!). Need I say more?! 🤢
I love taking notes cause it means it’s not a quiz day 😭
🤣😂🤣 The SMELL! The worst is when you leave the room for something come back and realize the festering funk that you've been living in all day! 🤢🤮

That is adorable lol
I love hearing you laugh!🤣. You crack yourself up…and me too😂
Love all the segments- unless you are or were a teacher, you don't get it.
You can't make this stuff up!
I absolutely love listening to you! You are so funny !
Your laugh is a special kind of joy!
You are absolutely hilarious! I love your joy
You cracking up at the end😂😂 made my day😊❤️
As a college student: it STILL ruins our day when we’re told to take out a paper and pencil!!!! 😂
Today I asked M why he wasn't getting in line and he said because Talaylay tied him up. Yup. She used the strings from his hoodie to tie him to his desk. And he just let her without saying a thing.
😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
I retired this past spring after 27 years of teaching and I still crack up at your videos! You’re so real and funny!
I'm the daughter of 2 teachers and the sister if another and she cracks ME up! I'm the odd one as a nurse (not a school nurse though lol). People wondered why I was so good at "patient teaching". I come by it honestly!
I would’ve lost it completely. Glad you were able to get through 😅
So stinking funny! You always Crack me up! When you start laughing, that really gets me!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have stopped taking papers on field trips! LOL! Give your shoulder a rest. 😆😆😆

AMEN!! Yes! I hate flippin’ technology! I Thank God for my techie teacher friends! Love ya girl - I don’t feel so alone❤
It's a great week for us. We've been blessed with your content multiple days in a row 🤗

My projector tan always decides it needs to be changed during a big wig district walk through.
Bless your heart sounds like you had one rough morning 😂
And….that’s why I quit taking papers home. Because I know they will know they will never get graded!!
Tired, hungry, and have to pee is me all day every day!
Please please make the time to pee so that your pelvic floor muscles don't go on rebellion when you are in your 50s.
@@Joy21090 hahaha too late I'm 62.
So true about the taking papers home, putting them on the table…. Then taking them back to school to grade there😂😅
