I'm a teacher 12 years semi seasoned and I just told the counselor yesterday "these kids are Not the kids Whitney Houston sung about #notourfuture #dontletthemleadthewayLordJesus
But on a serious note, I’m a teacher as well & the future honestly looks horrific based on the leadership of THIS generation. And I’m not even talking about the Coronavirus pandemic, just speaking of the kids!
@@MrKellyELA I know...but they can still be ok...we just can't give up on them like most everyone else has. It's not too late. They're struggles and their language is different, but many of them do care...they just lack inspiration sometimes
Parents do not teach the kids that school is a privilege and teachers and all adults should be respected. I taught my grown boys to show respect to teachers. Not to act up.in class and if you get into trouble you will be nan in trouble at home also. Parents kids can call 911 but tell them liken mine were told by the deputy your behind was made to spank not to be bruised but spanked lol.. amen. EJ keep them coming love this site..
When I was a cashier at Walmart I had a parent ask me to threaten their child to behave because apparently their regular cashier used to do it. I was just like “ Cool, a blank check for mayhem. I’m down.”
As a former teacher I can honestly say walking back into that building after summer vacation is like a march to the scaffold. I was singing spirituals, praying, rubbing a rabbit's foot, with a Buddha statue in one pocket and a crucifix in the other just to make it through day one.
“Last week when she got the flu, it was the BEST WEEK that this class has ever had...Im actually hoping she gets another round of the flu..” Dude Im DEAD ☠️ 😂😂😂 This is why I wait on these videos everyday!
KnowlegeIsPower1 She speaks the truth! Most children act up because they know their parents won’t do anything about it. As teachers it’s difficult because we have goals to accomplish and deadlines to meet. The worst are those parents who are always in defense mode when they know the are raising little savages.
I KNOW that's how ALL of the adults feels about a child I know. When I say he is the worst child I have ever met in my life I am not telling a lie. The school literally called his dad every day. The boy stole a kids lunch. He vandalized the school. He started fights. He lied and said he had to go to the bathroom but never went back to class. His list of terrible behavior goes on and on. I know when he didn't return to the school the staff felt like they won the lottery.
This is STILL Hilarious!!... I threatened to "call Santa to come repo" one kid's stuff...I had a Santa Facebook page up on my laptop and the kids knew there was a camera on it and were SHOOK!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ##OrderByAnyMeansNeccessary
As a teacher, and after today’s very trying day- I can’t tell you how perfect the timing was for this video and how much this made my evening! Thank you for the laughs and for summarizing and saying out loud what we all fight to keep inside and from our face giving these thoughts away too! 😆 Love your content after a long day!!! Keep up the great work!! ❤️❤️
“He acts like that here because you let him act like that at home.” Maaaaan, let me tell you! If I had a dollar for every time I’ve had to stop myself from saying this...
Absolutely. These parents get on my nerves sometimes lol how bout I had a parent ask me how come my class can’t use hand sanitizer any more but have to wash their hands 😒🤦🏽♀️
mstiffany81 As a master level registered nurse whose degree is public health nursing, I have two certifications, and I’m a former infection control nurse, I am not surprise. Why people do not want to wash their hands no longer bewilders me. I know that since the Civil War, Florence Nightingale in England and Clara Barton in the United States were teaching people about infection control. It’s the 21st century and people don’t want to wash their hands, after using the bathroom, blowing their noses, or before they eat. 😣😕🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
I've been in the teaching profession for nearly 15 years and have taught Pre-K for the last 3. We wash our hands a minimum of 6 times a day. More if someone is sick! It makes a difference. I don't get sick like I used to when I taught 1st, 2nd, Kindergarten, or 5th. Other than pollen season I'm good.
EJ!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I pray for the teachers of today! And I appreciate them because they can do a job that would make me end up in jail! I have a neighbor who lives above me and her KIDS almost made me go up there and split her in half!
I was barely 50 years old when I retired (with full benefits) from teaching over a year ago, and when people ask me why I retired so young, my response each time is “because I could” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I taught briefly.. I kept it real with the parents.. loved having black parents so I could let them know straight up, no filter!! I told one mom..."I know your kid has anger issues and aggression but lil PJ is NOT gonna whoop my ass. I WILL reach out and touch, okay ma'am? Thanks👍😉
Teachers MUST be paid properly for all they have to put up with!! The teachers that actually care, get bullied and berated by lazy, non-particiting parents! Once again Ej you NAILED it!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love it you make my kids and my day!!! Keep allowing God to use you for laughter is medicine. I was a teacher for 12 years and you nail it everytime!!!
My heart goes out to the educators who love what they do and are really trying to make a difference in the future. Hats off to the good teachers that don't get paid nearly enough to deal with the madness. Parents only have to deal with their own children, teachers deal with every kind of child entering the door. I do not take them for granted. Being a teacher is a gift, a lot of parents had to find out the hard way when the pandemic came and they were forced to deal with teaching their own children. The hardest part is when they have these children Chromebooks and tablets to do classwork, you can see exactly what some of these children are going through. Parents hitting them, cursing them out etc. Even if the parent turned off the video you could still hear what's going on. I'm so glad the classes could be recorded. None of us are perfect parents. I can sympathize with teachers having to deal with all these children coming from different households and trying to help kids get through a lot of stress from home and day after day even when they are dealing with their own crisis.
You have made an AWESOME video. It is 2020 and education has become a victim chained in a cold, dark basement with rats and spiders running around while waiting for that creaky door to slowly open and ... well, torture is probably the best word to define what awaits the educator today when that door opens. Sometimes administration hands you a barber's razor and says, "Here, .. have fun." ... and sometimes the parents come in, .. and give you that eerie, sly, Tim Burton smile that reads, Lawsuit, Lawsuit, Lawsuit ... No. It's no fun anymore. My wife is an Educational Assistant at an unnamed Middle School here in Hawaii and she has taught 6th, 7th, and 8th graders how to read. THIS is what makes teaching rewarding. The rest of it is the Nightmare before Christmas in real life.
I was a sub for 2 whole months and knew right then and there, I would NEVER be a teacher. A few bad apples DOES spoil the bunch, lol! Shoutout to all educators. You're role extends far beyond just teaching. Y'all parent, counsel, correct, discipline, babysit, de-escalate, reinforce, and the list goes on. It aint in me, but I'm so glad it's in all of you. *SN: Out of all the grades I subbed for, 4th grade was the absolute best! Hands down!
Oh how true this is, I'm a after school tutor & all of these children can drive you up a wall. I can't tell you how many times I just wanted to scream. And they will lie in a heartbeat even when you looking at them with your own 2 eyes.😧😩 but that part about when the girl got sick was hilarious, can she get sick again bc that was an awesome week.😂😂😂
@@kwil9599 oh I know how sad & true that it is & the class runs so much smoother. Bad children are a real ache. And what I hate is when the parents don't care & act like it's not an issue.
kwil9599 I have two in my classroom. When I come home and tell my family about their shenanigans I refer to them as Letter if Resignation and Two Week’s Notice! They have perfect attendance. 😣😩
🤣🤣HAHA!!! The BOOGIE MAN!! Once I actually DID threaten two 2nd Graders with the boogie man!!! 🤣🤣🤣 It was around Halloween time. We were walking in line. These two boys were cuttin up, kinda low key bullying some other kids, talking back, being chaotic, wouldn't stay in line, kept yelling hello and waving like crazy to the kids in the classrooms with open doors we were walking by. They were really testing me. So I got down and whispered to them like I was telling them an important secret. I said: "the Boogie Man comes out this time of year, so you better be quiet and act right, bc the Boogie Man comes for loud kids who don't behave." Their eyes got real big like saucers and I couldn't help but smile a little. One of them said "there's not really a boogie man, though, you're just playing, right?" With a straight face, I said: "I wouldn't risk it if I were you." And it WORKED!! They acted right for the rest of the day!! 🤣🤣 They seemed skeptical, but they clearly didn't want to take any chances. They would whisper to each other and giggle a little, but then tell eachother to shuussh🤫. They must have thought I was some kind of witch! 😂 Hey, whatever works! 😁
Oh my goodness! My daughter is a teacher and she expresses so many of these sentiments. So funny! Especially, "I know you don't care, and sometimes I don't either."
This is why I always say teachers should get the same tax credit parents get. To put up with that child for 8 hours a day, 180 days (give or take based on the district), a teacher has custody of that for just about the same time a parent does. Plus, if a child sleeps for 8 hours... I mean, it only takes a few good reads before the sense of it all becomes logical.
teemoneybaby hang in there. Teachers are special people🥰 you are really making an impact on young lives even if you don’t see the fruitage immediately. I admire teachers☺️
If teachers and administrators were allowed to tell the raw and ugly truth to these parents about their kids, I think things could really change in the classroom. I have no doubt it would piss off a lot of parents, and spark some serious backlash from those same angry parents. Those parents that are angry are the ones who have kids with behavior problems. We have too many parents out here in denial about their kids' behaviors, and are quick to point the finger at any and everyone else when their child is not doing well in school. After being a substitute for 11 years, I have sometimes come under fire by administrators for standing up to those rude and disrespectful kids. Just like students felt they had permission to say what they wanted to say to me, I simply leveled the playing field. They learned over the years, you disrespected me, watch out! You said something crazy to me, I said something right back. If they tried to clown me in class, I roasted them in front of all their classmates. When I submitted my resignation last year, I found out that I earned a reputation among the students I subbed for, and was crowned "the queen of roasting". The good kids loved me, the disrespectful kids hated me. I refused to tip toe around their feelings and ever changing moods, even though our training strongly suggested otherwise.
I absolutely love EJ! I find many truths in your videos and the humor. Thank you for these. I have read many of these comments and a lot are confirming your statements. I know this is all to make us laugh (oh and it does) but, it's kind of sad. I hold all teachers and child care workers in high esteem! I always have! I believe, that is the key! I have 9 year old twin boys and they know I do not tolerate them to disrespect kind and respectful people; all people. Especially teachers! I understand that some children have challenges even when their parents have taught them how to treat others. However, what I'm hearing in this hilarious video is, the parents don't care and they pass that attitude on to their children. Its sad. Some children may have a genetic disorder and by the grace of God, there are teachers trained for that purpose. May the light shine through your crazy day! Thank you to all types of child care professionals that keep on keeping on!!! Thank you EJ for shining your light, love and humor!
Baby when that one kid is out sick or on a tax refund sponsored vacation class is sooooooo amazing! I had a kid say I failed him because he's a Trump supporter, but dude never did his work. Parent came in blazing and said the same thing, I'm like "is Trump the reason y'all don't turn in work or send back signed progress reports with notes? Cause I'm confused!"
Ooohhhh eeeeem geeee!!! The folder!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Those types either never send it back or send it back with everything still in it untouched 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...and if you teach preschool, how about the book bag that comes back on Monday with theee SAME soiled clothing and lunch box with leftovers in it that you sent home Friday...as WELL as that folder with last week's work and art crafts still in it.. like "did you just leave the whole thing in the car over the weekend..??..ignoring the fact that it so full that the zipper is struggling to make ends meet..???"
I know 100% that every time I come to watch one of your videos I am not going to be disappointed and I am going to be howling and almost falling on the floor! Love love love love love your content please keep it coming! 😂😂😂😂😂😂💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
My mom retired early because of the lack of support from parents,the lacks of support frm principals, and the kids that literally needed psychiatrists and meds...also not being able to punish kids anymore n public schools,they can call u a b*tch or fight and the principal won't even suspend them.she retired at like 56..last yr
Your child can improve upon using their classtime wisely ( Aka: doesn’t do sh!t in class) Then I give them a list of all the missing assignments that they had hours to complete during class.
Marissa my sons teacher last year got mad at us because he didn’t do his in class homework in class. Well I mean you didn’t have him bring it home to do either so that ones on you. He’s always gotten good grades though,almost perfects every time(he’s in 2nd grade now). His dads family tells him school is stupid & to just drop out & become a TH-camr. 2/4 live with their parents so my son wants to go mooch off grandma &’papa too because they let him do & have whatever he wants all the time. It took me ten years (just a few months ago) to finally convince his dad to move & that’s only because I’m paying almost all the bills,& he still complains sometimes.
Moments formoms I do notice it’s hard for some students because both parents have different priorities as far as school is concerned. I always email parents when a student is behind because of missing work. I hope your son finds the value in school eventually 💕 Best.
@@mlmj1994 Thank you,I do too. I keep encouraging him. My dad wanted us to be perfect and I couldn't handle it. I went from being smart to really dumb because it seemed useless to me to learn. I couldn't get good grades because then he'd know I was lying to him about not knowing anything(I'd get quizzed,until I got one wrong and then get lectured for getting one wrong). I have a really bad life,and I don't want my son to grow up the same,so I take a gentler approach as long as he does his homework.
As a teacher, I approve this message. 🤣😂😅 You learn tact very early in the game, but sometimes . . . you want to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Your forgot to call out the parents who give one number at the start or the year, and the next week, it’s already disconnected because they’re tired of getting calls from the school. 🤭

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know a lot of that goes for babysitters too!!
EJ, the accuracy.
Tee D On point!
Oh my goodness! My daughter is a teacher and she expresses so many of these sentiments. So funny! Especially, "I know you don't care, and sometimes I don't either."
This is why I always say teachers should get the same tax credit parents get. To put up with that child for 8 hours a day, 180 days (give or take based on the district), a teacher has custody of that for just about the same time a parent does. Plus, if a child sleeps for 8 hours... I mean, it only takes a few good reads before the sense of it all becomes logical.
You hit the nail on the head with the third graders and Tik Tok! 😂
This lady is a treasure!!🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙
You're obviously a teacher. LOVE YOU! - from a 7th grade ELA teacher
I’m three years in and ready to throw in the towel! The migraines are no joke!!
teemoneybaby There is money to be made homeschooling rich kids. Find some. 🤣
What jauchelle said
So that’s why I get headaches all the time 🤔🤔 lol
teemoneybaby hang in there. Teachers are special people🥰 you are really making an impact on young lives even if you don’t see the fruitage immediately. I admire teachers☺️
If teachers and administrators were allowed to tell the raw and ugly truth to these parents about their kids, I think things could really change in the classroom. I have no doubt it would piss off a lot of parents, and spark some serious backlash from those same angry parents. Those parents that are angry are the ones who have kids with behavior problems. We have too many parents out here in denial about their kids' behaviors, and are quick to point the finger at any and everyone else when their child is not doing well in school. After being a substitute for 11 years, I have sometimes come under fire by administrators for standing up to those rude and disrespectful kids. Just like students felt they had permission to say what they wanted to say to me, I simply leveled the playing field. They learned over the years, you disrespected me, watch out! You said something crazy to me, I said something right back. If they tried to clown me in class, I roasted them in front of all their classmates. When I submitted my resignation last year, I found out that I earned a reputation among the students I subbed for, and was crowned "the queen of roasting". The good kids loved me, the disrespectful kids hated me. I refused to tip toe around their feelings and ever changing moods, even though our training strongly suggested otherwise.
I absolutely love EJ! I find many truths in your videos and the humor. Thank you for these.
I have read many of these comments and a lot are confirming your statements. I know this is all to make us laugh (oh and it does) but, it's kind of sad. I hold all teachers and child care workers in high esteem! I always have! I believe, that is the key! I have 9 year old twin boys and they know I do not tolerate them to disrespect kind and respectful people; all people. Especially teachers! I understand that some children have challenges even when their parents have taught them how to treat others. However, what I'm hearing in this hilarious video is, the parents don't care and they pass that attitude on to their children. Its sad. Some children may have a genetic disorder and by the grace of God, there are teachers trained for that purpose.
May the light shine through your crazy day! Thank you to all types of child care professionals that keep on keeping on!!!
Thank you EJ for shining your light, love and humor!
Baby when that one kid is out sick or on a tax refund sponsored vacation class is sooooooo amazing!
I had a kid say I failed him because he's a Trump supporter, but dude never did his work. Parent came in blazing and said the same thing, I'm like "is Trump the reason y'all don't turn in work or send back signed progress reports with notes? Cause I'm confused!"
Ooohhhh eeeeem geeee!!! The folder!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Those types either never send it back or send it back with everything still in it untouched 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...and if you teach preschool, how about the book bag that comes back on Monday with theee SAME soiled clothing and lunch box with leftovers in it that you sent home Friday...as WELL as that folder with last week's work and art crafts still in it.. like "did you just leave the whole thing in the car over the weekend..??..ignoring the fact that it so full that the zipper is struggling to make ends meet..???"
Lol🤣😂
As a teacher myself I can totally relate😵🤣. And as a parent I pray my children are NOT that horrible😩
"Yesterday she cursed me out and I quietly cursed her back out"😂😂😂😂😂
Every 👏🏾 damn 👏🏾word👏🏾!!!! I 👏🏾mean👏🏾every👏🏾damn👏🏾word🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I'd rather be a tree than a teacher to your child" 😩😆

Are you an educator?!? Cause sis you’re dead on🤣🤣🤣
Clicked thumbs up before the video ended. I am a teacher and Yesssss. These are all of the things I have thought. 🤔. This was on point.
Omg, I teach middle school and all of this is spot on!
This just spoke to my soul!
My mom retired early because of the lack of support from parents,the lacks of support frm principals, and the kids that literally needed psychiatrists and meds...also not being able to punish kids anymore n public schools,they can call u a b*tch or fight and the principal won't even suspend them.she retired at like 56..last yr
Your child can improve upon using their classtime wisely ( Aka: doesn’t do sh!t in class)
Then I give them a list of all the missing assignments that they had hours to complete during class.
Marissa my sons teacher last year got mad at us because he didn’t do his in class homework in class. Well I mean you didn’t have him bring it home to do either so that ones on you. He’s always gotten good grades though,almost perfects every time(he’s in 2nd grade now). His dads family tells him school is stupid & to just drop out & become a TH-camr. 2/4 live with their parents so my son wants to go mooch off grandma &’papa too because they let him do & have whatever he wants all the time. It took me ten years (just a few months ago) to finally convince his dad to move & that’s only because I’m paying almost all the bills,& he still complains sometimes.
Moments formoms I do notice it’s hard for some students because both parents have different priorities as far as school is concerned. I always email parents when a student is behind because of missing work. I hope your son finds the value in school eventually 💕
Best.
@@mlmj1994 Thank you,I do too. I keep encouraging him. My dad wanted us to be perfect and I couldn't handle it. I went from being smart to really dumb because it seemed useless to me to learn. I couldn't get good grades because then he'd know I was lying to him about not knowing anything(I'd get quizzed,until I got one wrong and then get lectured for getting one wrong). I have a really bad life,and I don't want my son to grow up the same,so I take a gentler approach as long as he does his homework.
As a teacher, I approve this message.
🤣😂😅 You learn tact very early in the game, but sometimes . . . you want to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Your forgot to call out the parents who give one number at the start or the year, and the next week, it’s already disconnected because they’re tired of getting calls from the school. 🤭
BRILLIANT !!💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💃🏿💃🏿
The social butterfly thing got me
I was so happy to hear that lol
Just crush my dreams lol
