@@boodledemic6430this is kind of the problem too though, most parents are overworked, might have 2-3 jobs and come home exhausted.

@@silverkitty2503 Ya. You might be right. But I'm sure there are still a lot of good kids out there today who love their teachers. Not all kids are evil these days. But you're right that times and attitudes have changed. It's just not the same.
This set she does is hilarious, and that is because its from truth. I could type a novel here about how all the things she mentioned exist, but I won't. All I can say is, if you have never seen this kind of behavior, and you have never seen teachers completely dehumanized in this way, then count yourself lucky. It means you've never had to see this abuse first hand. Her humor here is coming from stuff she had to go through, or things people she knows have gone through.
Yes !!! I was a teachers aide! I saw all this first hand. It was tough to watch the teacher struggle with admin, parents and the students. It was so overwhelming. But the teacher remained so caring and chill
My mom was a high school teacher for 30 years. This teacher is spitting 100% facts. She funny but it reminds me of seeing my mom stressed out expression at the end of every day.
I was in a parent teacher meeting with my son where the assistant principal said and I quote " kids behavior issues could have to do with moon phases that were going on these days" My son's teachers started looking down and up at the ceiling. My wife spoke up to break the silence in the room and changed the subject. We have been laughing at that one for years....
I had a male version of her for my study hall class...Dude would get pissed if a fight broke out in class, not because of the fighting, but because no one gave him a heads-up to 'have an excuse to leave the room' so he could at least have 'plausible deniability' when he said he didn't see anything. Lol! Basically he was like 'beat the ever-loving shit out of each other, I don't give a fuck, but don't you dare get me in trouble with the principal, cause that dude's a prick.'

Loving the fresh take/content. Sadly, I can sense the pain in frustration behind the jokes. I have friends that are teachers in the US, and man, I honestly don't how they do it.
There’s literally a Golden Corral next to my Planet Fitness. And a dive bar, and a Starbucks, and a dollar tree, and a suspicious looking massage parlor with blackout tinted windows. Whatever your addiction is, this plaza has it.
The non-educators can laugh wholeheartedly at these jokes, teachers laughter is marred with sadness because they know Liz just speaks the truth. The truth sometimes is so painful, you just gave to laugh about it. My R E S P E C T to all teachers.
TV gets teaching wrong a lot. Teachers are either humorless boring automatons, so over involved with their students it would likely get them fired (seen some shows/movies where they even let a student live with them or take them home), or Dead Poet Society knockoffs. Rarely see some of the true hurdles of being a teacher like the generation gap, students you have to be nice to even though you want to go full 1940s teacher on and paddle them, students you see making major easily avoidable mistakes but cant change, students suffering but you cant help without breaking some school rule, or trying to act professional even when you have no idea what to do. Kind of random but I always wonder how some teachers handle things like 9/11 or similar tragedies/major events, cant be easy especially when you're just as lost as the students.
Ba ha ha 😂 I can relate to the teaching part! Spent 30 year's of my life, as a Special Education Teacher Assistant. Working with disabled children, from Grade 1 - 12. In both the Public & Private sectors. A most "MASSIVE" shout out of appreciation🙌👏to her & ALL Teacher's plus TA's. I feel they are "essential" job's. Most definitely "not" paid enough, nor acknowledged for what we/they do. Beautiful Blessing's💐from here in Canada 🇨🇦🙋♀️👋
Hard lived experiences plus her phenomenal one-two cadence for an unexpected delivery is amazing. I hope a lot of good changes will be inspired for how educators are valued and supported in addition to better times for her students and wish her all the best.
Prior to retiring in 2019, I taught all four generations currently alive. I dealt with my share of unmotivated and disinterested Boomers, GenXer, and Millennials. It is part of the job. But until I taught Zoomers, I had never worked with people who were willfully, militantly ignorant.
As a veteran high school teacher of 11 years, she had me in tears of laughter because she is my psychological ID unleashed. Preach, Liz! 🤚🏻Preach, Sister!
As a millennial I really like Gen Z. High schoolers are always troublesome. I think you guys were probably less than the generations prior, and waaay less then gen x or boomers.
@@digitalpickles1277As a Gen X’er, can confirm was troublesome. Even us with great GPA’s and test scores did not hold back on being extra to the teaching staff. Teacher deserve hazard pay.
She was hilarious! This bit was so funny I sent it to all my teacher friends and listened to it twice. The kids in those classrooms are crazy as hell and although she was humorous, she was being truthful!
I wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud because I usually don’t at many comedians nowadays but I actually did! I felt like her “one child left behind” joke was genius and the crowd didn’t get it
Oh yes so glad you raised this -- I'm just now catching the layers to that joke, wow! It definitely speaks to the educators and those who lived through the initial buzz during the Bush era for No Child Left Behind initiatives.
Assuming the ones who laughed got the reference. But yeah: leave 'em all behind. That was the beginning of the end, the start of the serious investment in dumbing down the US. Heavily tie funding to yearly test scores and blame the current state of things as opposed to acknowledging that there was any systemic issue... Really evil stuff.
You have to be aware of the "No Child Left Behind" law Bush started along with understanding how some states are encouraging teachers to pick up arms to protect students from shooters...
I remember in 7th grade we got a new science teacher, brand new young woman coming into the field, and my class just absolutely destroyed her, she would go in the hallway and cry, other teachers would see her and then come in and yell at the class (there was one teacher who taught 8th grade and she was like a drill sgt) eventually she just stopped going to work and we were left with substitutes for the rest of the year, she didn't even last till the end of winter. She was such a good teacher too, she knew everything about the material and as a person who science comes easily i got to enjoy hearing what she had to say in the field. Really wish i could meet her again, i cant even remember her name it was so long ago. I hope shes doing well.
She could have made one comment like, “y’all aren’t attractive enough to be stupid and not learn this” and shut it down. The problem is, children, like dogs, can smell fear. Once you let the idiot children have control over your emotions… you’re done.
@@cutiedopo17 The real difference is if you are Corporate Social Media native, or merely a digital native. The Corporate Social Media natives are the wired-up half-feral ones she's talking about in this set
@@cutiedopo17I feel the same way about my fellow Millennials. Those of us Millennials who were born in the ‘80s are very different from Millennials who were born in the ‘90s.
My cousin was teaching special Ed when an assailant entered the school. They left her with her students in the library and everyone else left except the classroom being taken as hostage. Crap is real. She protected her kids but one child was killed in the hostage room. Very sad she stopped teaching. Times have changed.
OMG, so sorry to hear this! Hopefully your cousin is able to get some appropriate help for her trauma. She is truly a hero, and she is fortunate to have such an empathetic relative as you in her life.
This video deserves a lot more likes. It is a laughing-out-loud funny, top shelf performance. Top marks for this one, Liz Blanc. I thank you and I believe in you!
A student says to me in front of the rest of the class, "You can teach however you want." Uh, _how_ many dotted-line bosses do I have? And how many of them contradict the training I've received?
damn that was one of the tightest sets i've seen in a long time. she was CRUSHING, and such a unique point of view! i'd love to see more of miss marm! *chefs kiss*
I think she was hella funny I think she was blowing off steam from how hard it is to be a teacher . I wish I had a teacher like her maybe someone would of understand me .
I said something to my 15 & 16 y/o kids on the way to school that I thought was super funny, and my 15 y/o daughter said "You thought you ate".. I said "yeah, I ate breakfast"?? She just laughed at me... I googled what "you thought you ate" meant and quickly I realized that my daughter told me I was pretty much lame... I literally have no idea what my kids are saying to me 75% of the time.
I wish she had more material on TH-cam, she's hilarious. My favorite part was her bit about teachers carrying guns: "There are people around who whole heartedly believe I should carry a gun at work. I'll be the first one to tell you I should not. I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any who want guns, I know a lot who want markers, you know? If I get a school-issued glock, and I'm still buying my own pencils, I'm taking that gun, I'm holding up a Staples. I'm getting the sh*t I need to do my job!" 🤣🤣🤣
Just well done, well-executed stand-up comedy. She actually kind of gives me Mama Cass vibes, like Mama Cass reincarnated in the 21st century. Can so easily imagine her playing a public high school teacher on a sitcom as well, maybe have her in the same cinematic universe as "Abbott Elementary". LOL
Hilarious!!! I relate to everything she said!!! As a former school teacher in a very ethnically diverse school, I have been called a "fat b!tch" in at least 4 different languages 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Incredible material! It has comedy with a lot of sadness and drama. I especially felt the joke about taking the gun... and holding up a Staples to get school supplies. That one really cut deep. I wish the absolute best and hope to see you make it on the biggest stages.
that cant be easy. teaching little kids vs teens is such a wide gap i havent known many who could make the change without being shit at one of the 2. Had a teacher for a short time who went from Kindergarten to teaching teens (district moved her to fill some gap) and even as a kid i could tell she was struggling since talking to teenagers like they're 5 is like running through a minefield.
@@arthas640 So the solution is not to talk to teenagers like they’re 5 then. And really, in one-on-one tutoring, I speak to students based on their abilities, not their chronological age. A 15-yr-old with Down syndrome requires much different teaching strategies than a 15-yr-old with ADHD. My tutoring sessions are very individually tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each person and the purpose of our lessons together.
@@KaiLucasZachary that's ideal. Even without some disability or disorder even talking to different kids the same age differently is good since some kids are more mature than their parents and some grade school kids are more mature than high school kids. Some kids can be given a task and run with it while others need constant guidance. Kids with disabilities or disorders need to have their lesson plans and teaching styles tailored to fit that.

The not-even-a-vibe she was giving along with such incredibly well written and timed material? WORLDSTAR
Can you tell me what Worldstar means in this context? I'm missing the joke :(
@@annebruecks7381 Worldstar was a website where people would post fighting videos. It got to a point where if people were fighting you whip out your phone record them and yell Worldstar in the background so you could upload it. (Not that that is a requirement to upload it.)

Thank you! I also didn't get that reference 😅
a high school English teacher telling a yo mama joke is just mwah~ chef kiss
Her deadpan tone, pauses and timing were absolutely spot on 👍👍
"I'm not racist, my Dad is white" had me creased laughing 😂😂😂😂
I hope she goes far in comedy.
“Just one child left behind” had me🤣🤣
Her almost monotone delivery to her act is funny. I like this girl. Never seen her before but she's good. I bet she really is many of her kid's favorite teacher. I'm sure she's loved by them. She's pretty awesome.

yeah you dont know todays kids ..no teacher is their fav they hate them all equally
@@silverkitty2503 Ya. You might be right. But I'm sure there are still a lot of good kids out there today who love their teachers. Not all kids are evil these days. But you're right that times and attitudes have changed. It's just not the same.
@@silverkitty2503I have favourite teachers
@@silverkitty2503That's definitely not true. Everyone's always fighting over who's the best teacher (and occasionally the most attractive 🙄)
As a high school English teacher, I can attest that she rocks!
And as a high schooler who ADORES my English teachers I can attest that you're doing amazing:)
English teachers were the best in my high school! Two in particular were some of the funniest guys. I have them on social media now haha
This set she does is hilarious, and that is because its from truth. I could type a novel here about how all the things she mentioned exist, but I won't. All I can say is, if you have never seen this kind of behavior, and you have never seen teachers completely dehumanized in this way, then count yourself lucky. It means you've never had to see this abuse first hand. Her humor here is coming from stuff she had to go through, or things people she knows have gone through.
Yes !!! I was a teachers aide! I saw all this first hand. It was tough to watch the teacher struggle with admin, parents and the students. It was so overwhelming. But the teacher remained so caring and chill
My mom was a high school teacher for 30 years. This teacher is spitting 100% facts. She funny but it reminds me of seeing my mom stressed out expression at the end of every day.
I was in a parent teacher meeting with my son where the assistant principal said and I quote " kids behavior issues could have to do with moon phases that were going on these days" My son's teachers started looking down and up at the ceiling. My wife spoke up to break the silence in the room and changed the subject. We have been laughing at that one for years....
It's Real, though. 😳 Doesn't make Sense, but on a full moon, the kids are wild. ERs say the same thing.
I dont get it
@@fierdrages6523 She was saying that as the moon cycles it affects a kids behavior in a negative way. And that we should be aware of that.
@@jawsvvvvv how would Moon cycles do that? Like the phases? How would a moon's phase affect behavior
She’s the teacher I needed when I was young 😂
She was probably your classmate then
I had a male version of her for my study hall class...Dude would get pissed if a fight broke out in class, not because of the fighting, but because no one gave him a heads-up to 'have an excuse to leave the room' so he could at least have 'plausible deniability' when he said he didn't see anything. Lol! Basically he was like 'beat the ever-loving shit out of each other, I don't give a fuck, but don't you dare get me in trouble with the principal, cause that dude's a prick.'
same.
Don´t worry. You´re not the oldest bitch on the planet.
A gym having a pizza party is like a dentist giving out candy on Halloween: a long term investment.
yep. I think Wednesday was pizza day.
😂
There's been cases of Planet Fitness doing that with pizza or donuts
or like the big pharma companies in cahoots with the media companies in cahoots with the politicians who are in cahoots with....
@@arthas640 If it's once a week that's not bad and I'm sure their not giving out whole pizzas and a dozen of donuts per customer. I believe in having a cheat day I did I lost weight still worked out it keep me sane. You have to do what works for you, cutting everything out usually results in binge eating falling off the wagon all together.
Respecting my pronouns, not me as a person was the funniest, most relatable thing I’ve heard. Immediately shared with my 3 teens! Freaking love her!
Best line agree, I will remember that one!
I mean it’s simple. I don’t have to respect you. But I’m not gonna disrespect you.
Thats Wild... "that you think your teacher can have a house in L A". She is something special. ¡Love her! Love her punch lines.
Love this! “It’s not racist my dad’s white” 😂😂❤❤
56 year old high school English teacher here…I am laughing so hard…I’ve done the span from Gen X to Gen Z…So I REALLY get it!
If ur 56, then u ARE Gen X. 😊
😂
@AllThat Remains yeah but when she was in her twenties she would have been teaching the youngest Gen X.
Loving the fresh take/content. Sadly, I can sense the pain in frustration behind the jokes. I have friends that are teachers in the US, and man, I honestly don't how they do it.
Comedy is a good way to get it out? 😅
student loans leave them no other choice
@@carisoul2180 not to mention the shootouts
actually i think she is above it and she has no pain about it but rather pity for those who try giving her trouble.
As a teacher in the UK I can confirm the situation is just as dire. Only saving grace is we don't have to worry as much about the possibility of guns.
She's slaying all the way!! Can't wait to see more of her comedy!
There’s literally a Golden Corral next to my Planet Fitness. And a dive bar, and a Starbucks, and a dollar tree, and a suspicious looking massage parlor with blackout tinted windows. Whatever your addiction is, this plaza has it.
The non-educators can laugh wholeheartedly at these jokes, teachers laughter is marred with sadness because they know Liz just speaks the truth. The truth sometimes is so painful, you just gave to laugh about it. My R E S P E C T to all teachers.
This woman needs her own HBO series ASAP. I need MORE ...
"No Principle Kaylie, my classroom is not a vibe. Please leave"😂💀
I taught 30 years...finally someone keeps it real ....tv always sugarcoats the kids/teaching...she nailed..love her!!!!!!!
TV gets teaching wrong a lot. Teachers are either humorless boring automatons, so over involved with their students it would likely get them fired (seen some shows/movies where they even let a student live with them or take them home), or Dead Poet Society knockoffs. Rarely see some of the true hurdles of being a teacher like the generation gap, students you have to be nice to even though you want to go full 1940s teacher on and paddle them, students you see making major easily avoidable mistakes but cant change, students suffering but you cant help without breaking some school rule, or trying to act professional even when you have no idea what to do. Kind of random but I always wonder how some teachers handle things like 9/11 or similar tragedies/major events, cant be easy especially when you're just as lost as the students.
Ba ha ha 😂 I can relate to the teaching part! Spent 30 year's of my life, as a Special Education Teacher Assistant. Working with disabled children, from Grade 1 - 12. In both the Public & Private sectors. A most "MASSIVE" shout out of appreciation🙌👏to her & ALL Teacher's plus TA's. I feel they are "essential" job's. Most definitely "not" paid enough, nor acknowledged for what we/they do. Beautiful Blessing's💐from here in Canada 🇨🇦🙋♀️👋
Hard lived experiences plus her phenomenal one-two cadence for an unexpected delivery is amazing. I hope a lot of good changes will be inspired for how educators are valued and supported in addition to better times for her students and wish her all the best.
I've never felt a series of jokes more than these. Being a first year teacher for Gen Z is....a ride for sure!
Yes, first year teaching in public school. This shit is crazy.
I love that she was able to pull off a callback on a 10 min set. Love it!
I laughed at EVERY joke. So good
Ironically, I didn’t laugh at ANY jokes.
@@rightchordleadership Well, I laughed at this one 🤣😂
“You think your teacher can have a house in LA” could have been followed by “I teach English, but math seems to be failing you”
Prior to retiring in 2019, I taught all four generations currently alive. I dealt with my share of unmotivated and disinterested Boomers, GenXer, and Millennials. It is part of the job. But until I taught Zoomers, I had never worked with people who were willfully, militantly ignorant.
As a veteran high school teacher of 11 years, she had me in tears of laughter because she is my psychological ID unleashed. Preach, Liz! 🤚🏻Preach, Sister!
Her punchlines are magnificent. It's all unexpected! As a teacher I relate so much. Good stuff, slay kween💅
I'm Gen Z and I was super respectful to teachers when I was a student. Mad respect to teachers.
My Gen Z students tend to be super respectful. I truly appreciate y'all!
As a millennial I really like Gen Z. High schoolers are always troublesome. I think you guys were probably less than the generations prior, and waaay less then gen x or boomers.
Sure it didn’t go unnoticed ❤
@@digitalpickles1277disagree on the less than prior gens like tiktok sorta encouraged alot of Z to do some awful stuff like the “devious licks” thing
@@digitalpickles1277As a Gen X’er, can confirm was troublesome. Even us with great GPA’s and test scores did not hold back on being extra to the teaching staff. Teacher deserve hazard pay.
I also teach high school, can totally relate! This is a wonderful, well-written set!
Me too!
Great set! Not a teacher but you paint a vivid picture of today's teacher struggles.
As a teacher I was rolling and trying to hold back the tears. Everything is accurate to the T!!!!
Thank you for teaching. You don't deserve any bullying! The kids should be thanking you.
She was hilarious! This bit was so funny I sent it to all my teacher friends and listened to it twice. The kids in those classrooms are crazy as hell and although she was humorous, she was being truthful!
I wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud because I usually don’t at many comedians nowadays but I actually did! I felt like her “one child left behind” joke was genius and the crowd didn’t get it
Oh yes so glad you raised this -- I'm just now catching the layers to that joke, wow! It definitely speaks to the educators and those who lived through the initial buzz during the Bush era for No Child Left Behind initiatives.
Assuming the ones who laughed got the reference. But yeah: leave 'em all behind. That was the beginning of the end, the start of the serious investment in dumbing down the US. Heavily tie funding to yearly test scores and blame the current state of things as opposed to acknowledging that there was any systemic issue... Really evil stuff.
You have to be aware of the "No Child Left Behind" law Bush started along with understanding how some states are encouraging teachers to pick up arms to protect students from shooters...
I remember in 7th grade we got a new science teacher, brand new young woman coming into the field, and my class just absolutely destroyed her, she would go in the hallway and cry, other teachers would see her and then come in and yell at the class (there was one teacher who taught 8th grade and she was like a drill sgt) eventually she just stopped going to work and we were left with substitutes for the rest of the year, she didn't even last till the end of winter. She was such a good teacher too, she knew everything about the material and as a person who science comes easily i got to enjoy hearing what she had to say in the field. Really wish i could meet her again, i cant even remember her name it was so long ago. I hope shes doing well.
She could have made one comment like, “y’all aren’t attractive enough to be stupid and not learn this” and shut it down. The problem is, children, like dogs, can smell fear. Once you let the idiot children have control over your emotions… you’re done.
You are the funniest new comedian I’ve seen in a long time! You’re too smart and too funny to be teaching. God bless you I could never do it.❤
I just woke my roommate up from laughing so hard. Thank you for representing teachers and thank you for being you
It's funny because I'm a Gen Z teacher teaching Gen Z students and the interactions and the moments are hilarious 🤣
Older gen Z and tail end gen Z are soooo different. Older gen Z are mini millennials
@@cutiedopo17 The real difference is if you are Corporate Social Media native, or merely a digital native. The Corporate Social Media natives are the wired-up half-feral ones she's talking about in this set
lol what's your age? I teach too but I'm 22
@@cutiedopo17so true!
@@cutiedopo17I feel the same way about my fellow Millennials. Those of us Millennials who were born in the ‘80s are very different from Millennials who were born in the ‘90s.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a minute. Her deliveries were on point. I hope she continues to do more standup
My cousin was teaching special Ed when an assailant entered the school.
They left her with her students in the library and everyone else left except the classroom being taken as hostage.
Crap is real. She protected her kids but one child was killed in the hostage room. Very sad she stopped teaching.
Times have changed.
OMG, so sorry to hear this! Hopefully your cousin is able to get some appropriate help for her trauma. She is truly a hero, and she is fortunate to have such an empathetic relative as you in her life.
This is horrible. I'm so, so sorry
Times have NOT changed. It's still like that today.
This was such a good set. Heartwarming, funny, chill and real
“I can’t cover my coffee and yell worldstar”
😂😂😂
You can tell she’s a teacher with great set ups & punchlines lol. This was great!
'Hit-after-hit' with the jokes! So funny and intellectually stimulating
This video deserves a lot more likes.
It is a laughing-out-loud funny, top shelf performance.
Top marks for this one, Liz Blanc. I thank you and I believe in you!
As a former teacher of 20 yrs you have no idea how much I identified with this-
"Teachers can get called down to the principal for discipline." New fear unlocked!! 😬
A student says to me in front of the rest of the class, "You can teach however you want." Uh, _how_ many dotted-line bosses do I have? And how many of them contradict the training I've received?
Being a teacher, I feel this in so many ways even though I'm not from the US. She is really good 😂🤣
damn that was one of the tightest sets i've seen in a long time. she was CRUSHING, and such a unique point of view! i'd love to see more of miss marm! *chefs kiss*
This is was one of the best sets I’ve seen in a long time! Hope to see a lot more of Liz Blanc!
"I met your mom on conference!" 🤣
She was fire! ACTUALLY funny. Crazy that’s where comedy is today where a lot are not.
18 yrs as a middle school English teacher and this was 🔥🔥
Shoutout to the guy who yelled "yeah" after the seven joke like it proved a personal argument that he is still mad about.
I think she was hella funny I think she was blowing off steam from how hard it is to be a teacher . I wish I had a teacher like her maybe someone would of understand me .
I said something to my 15 & 16 y/o kids on the way to school that I thought was super funny, and my 15 y/o daughter said "You thought you ate".. I said "yeah, I ate breakfast"?? She just laughed at me...
I googled what "you thought you ate" meant and quickly I realized that my daughter told me I was pretty much lame...
I literally have no idea what my kids are saying to me 75% of the time.
She’s the reason y all my English teachers were my fave, growing up. They def had the most heart & personality 😆👏👏👏
I taught English in LAUSD for 16 years. Absolutely one of the most stressful jobs in the world, just behind soldier, cop, and fire fighter.
Been there. Done that.
This woman killed it! Every joke was so good and the delivery was on point! Glad to know she's tenured haha
I wish she had more material on TH-cam, she's hilarious. My favorite part was her bit about teachers carrying guns: "There are people around who whole heartedly believe I should carry a gun at work. I'll be the first one to tell you I should not. I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any who want guns, I know a lot who want markers, you know? If I get a school-issued glock, and I'm still buying my own pencils, I'm taking that gun, I'm holding up a Staples. I'm getting the sh*t I need to do my job!"
🤣🤣🤣
Just well done, well-executed stand-up comedy. She actually kind of gives me Mama Cass vibes, like Mama Cass reincarnated in the 21st century. Can so easily imagine her playing a public high school teacher on a sitcom as well, maybe have her in the same cinematic universe as "Abbott Elementary". LOL
The delivery was pretty decent but the jokes were brilliant 🤣
Hilarious!!! I relate to everything she said!!! As a former school teacher in a very ethnically diverse school, I have been called a "fat b!tch" in at least 4 different languages 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. What has this world come to?
She had SOOOO many good one liners, the story telling and delivery were incredible too
I'm a substitute teacher and it's relief listening to this. ❤ U
Incredible material! It has comedy with a lot of sadness and drama. I especially felt the joke about taking the gun... and holding up a Staples to get school supplies. That one really cut deep.
I wish the absolute best and hope to see you make it on the biggest stages.
I started off as a preschool teacher and then transitioned into being a private tutor for all ages. So much of this is too accurate. lol
that cant be easy. teaching little kids vs teens is such a wide gap i havent known many who could make the change without being shit at one of the 2. Had a teacher for a short time who went from Kindergarten to teaching teens (district moved her to fill some gap) and even as a kid i could tell she was struggling since talking to teenagers like they're 5 is like running through a minefield.
@@arthas640 So the solution is not to talk to teenagers like they’re 5 then. And really, in one-on-one tutoring, I speak to students based on their abilities, not their chronological age. A 15-yr-old with Down syndrome requires much different teaching strategies than a 15-yr-old with ADHD. My tutoring sessions are very individually tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each person and the purpose of our lessons together.
@@KaiLucasZachary that's ideal. Even without some disability or disorder even talking to different kids the same age differently is good since some kids are more mature than their parents and some grade school kids are more mature than high school kids. Some kids can be given a task and run with it while others need constant guidance. Kids with disabilities or disorders need to have their lesson plans and teaching styles tailored to fit that.
I substitute teach at the high school level, and having a razor wit and good comedic timing is ESSENTIAL to survival.
Ms. Blanc is hilarious and likely has a few students who realize how fortunate they are to have her as a teacher.
Wow, need a full special from her. Incredible delivery and the punchlines were awesome.
“I had no idea I was in the running,” I lost it. Hilarious.
