CGP Grey 2011: Teachers should not have a poor life balance. CGP Grey 2021: I have stared at this metric paper for two minutes, and I have seen everything in the universe and nothing in the universe are the same, no matter how you put it.
I know this is just a liiiittle late, but they "deal with" you because they care. Perhaps they didn't quite know what they were getting into when they took this career path, but the good teachers, the ones who do their job amazingly well, will continue to care because despite the hardship they know that their job is rewarding and that it's necessary. I'm not a teacher, so it's possible I'm speaking out the ass, but that's the only reason I can think of to deal with such a stressful and financially unrewarding career. If you're a student who tends to be a bit difficult to deal with, then please thank your teachers for their effort, especially if they go above and beyond the call of duty, like some of mine did when I was in High School.
mockingjay I don't know if I was the worst student for teachers or the best. I never did any homework (or very rarely, and only for those teachers who really checked them). When homework was checked verbally (teacher asks the questions, people raise their hands to answer) I raised my hand, not because I had done anything in home, but because my edietic memory (I think that's how it's spelled??) had my back and I just remembered from last class. The same memory made me get better than average (not saying the best of all, but better than most people) grades, without even reading for the tests (exception being biology, which I sucked at, but was still too lazy piece of doo doo to read). That was my primary schools (age 7 -> 15) and my high school (age 16 -> 18). Now I'm studying mathematics in College... My teachers did like me as a person but most likely not as a student..
as always, cgp grey’s planning systems make so much sense. is this 11 years old? no worries, still makes complete sense. am i a student and not a teacher? yes, doesn’t mean i can’t implement these into my own work process.
None of the teachers I know actually get summers off. They have to teach camps, go to training and a bunch of other stuff. Somethings are just to get by and others because of contractual obligations. The myth of free summers hasn’t been a reality for several decades.
"As a teacher, sometimes missing a day of work is more of a hassle than just going..." I felt the exact same way as a student. Keep in mind, I wasn't the perfect student, but I have always treated school like a 9 to 5 job (or 8 to 3). Outside of studying (occasionally haha), my aim was to cram as much work into the school day as possible. Students and even teachers don't often realize how much time is actually wasted in a given school day. I hardly ever thought about school after the last bell rang, but I busted it during the day. Worked great for me.
My school is shit (learning wise), I missed 3 weeks due to being really sick and I just had to do 1 hour of catch up at home. I caught up with 3 weeks of work in 1 hour and I understood everything I needed to know and was no longer behind. That means I can get through 1 semester of work and learning in a month instead of 4 months, and that's being nice.
Nick Jones that used to work for me but now I have an art teacher who gives a ton of homework every month, I can't get out my art supplies in the middle of class so I end spending at least an hour every day doing projects. I used to like art, but I'm burned out
+Julia Lin The advice contained in this video is applicable on other tasks as well, I'm sure you can use some of the knowledge gained from watching this video on parts of your life. If nothing else, an understanding of your teachers' problems can help you to work with them as a student. The fact that you took interest in this bodes well for your future!
Oh my god you are so clever! Everyone on the internet thinks you are funny now and you have everyone's approval and attention! Using greentext on youtube, wow, you are so cool!!!
"Dont forget the reason why you have this career, the summer vacations." -CGP Grey I forgot that summer vacations only exists in school. Oh my... OH MY.
And even then given how being a teacher works, a teacher’s summer vacation is effectively a weekend compared to everything else a teacher must handle and they must never break
Antonio Pérez Bejarano same but it's not for the summer holidays, it's for the kids. I've always had great teachers (until now, fuck Mrs. Crew), and I want other students to have good teachers, too.
A few random thoughts. What's missing from this is that a teacher's workload is potentially infinite, and practically all-consuming. There is *always* something you can that will help someone in your class. The only limit is your conscience. Should you improve your lesson tomorrow for Billy? You really care about Billy because you really care about all the children in all your classes - even, or sometimes *especially*, the disruptive ones). Or should you just relax and waste time on the internet? For a few years you can and you will improve the lesson for Billy - but it's not sustainable. Eventually without downtime - at Billy's expense don't forget - you will burn out. Most teachers I know, especially the younger ones, think about the job pretty much all the time. Wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet - you're thinking about work for the reasons given above. And for this you will get at best no or token thanks and in a lot of schools you will be treated with contempt, Senior leadership will routinely tell you you're not good enough. Politicians will treat you with open public hostility. Different teachers obviously have different experiences - but I've seen that basic scenario play out dozens of times.
+Woody Eckerslyke I never had any problems with colleagues, bosses or public figures about my job - but then you have to start to not take public criticism personal, especially when everybody sees your "short days" and "long holidays", not seeing that being in place isn't everything. Parents sometimes have complaints, sometimes justified but often not IMO, but that's a different story. But I found out pretty quickly that caring too much is a double edged sword. Maybe because I didn't start out as a teacher but worked in the banking business (technical organization, not individual client interaction) before: in many jobs you can get away with a grumpy day. You sit in your cubicle and hammer at the keyboard. You go to the workshop and just get things done. This doesn't work if your primary job is interacting with other humans. Even less if you are in a position of power over them so they cannot stop you. So relaxing yourself (not physically, you need to do some sports in your spare time) is very, very important. And will help Billy. And will help his classmates. Of course this doesn't mean not thinking about Billy at all. But there's only so much you can do on a single afternoon for him. So go the bricks way. "5 minutes for Billy" isn't working as well as "5 minutes getting acquainted with the PC" since you also need inspiration, but take your time when you are relaxed. Take a walk in the park. Let your mind wander while relaxing.
Ulkomaalainen Grey had a great speech in Hello Internet about how companies will fire you as fast as they can if they find out you have a second income :P
Me: (A High School student with no interest in teaching, knowing this is a twelve year old video) Also me: Wow…that is a really effective time management system.
Honestly my AP Biology teacher didn't assign homework because, and I quote, "You don't want to do it and I don't want to grade it." And honestly a lot of schools have done better with no homework than with it tbh
I like how some of my teachers always start off the school year making sure all the homework is in and making sure we actually learn and by the end of the year they are far more care-free
The best teacher I had last year was also the most organised he also had the largest work load. He was so organised that that he could deal with three extended essays on top of all the classes that he had. I did IB and had a three person class but for our Jan mocks he had to mark 15 essays of roughly 800-1000 words each at the same time he had to mark A-level work across two classes as well as keep up with GCSE homework. He was the first teacher to get our papers back to us
Note: All of these (except keeping tabs on students) are extremely helpful to students too. Electronics are great, but if you still use a backpack you should have a physical planner in these forms.
Abraxis_98 For example, teachers aren't allowed to actually take the homework and correct it. They have to check who has done it and then together with the class go through the exercises and everyone corrects it.
Wait, so if everyone corrects their own, are their any conflicts of interest? Or do other people just get to see your grade? How does the teacher know what score you got on the homework?
LIZILETSPLAY No offence, but I think that is just your school and not ALL schools in Germany, because the same thing happens in some select schools in other countries but mainly most schools are completely different in terms of rules and other things.
Ah yes, the summer holidays. Also as a future teacher, I would like to thank you for this. It's amazing how crappy they teach us how to organize ourselves in our teacher prep classes.
I have a History/English teacher who think like him. She is one of the best teachers I've had. Connecting abstract ideas and thoughts into something coherent through a variety of methods is amazing to see. I appreciate the time these teachers put in for us. :-)
Hey Grey, Want to say thank you for posting this. I'm a high school student who started organizing in similar manner based off of this video. Since then I have a much more manageable schedule and even though it doesn't really help me get through my homework faster it really did help me get into a better groove of going from assignment to assignment. Overall I feel significantly less stressed and deadlines for assignments are nearly as scary to me anymore. Thanks a ton! VA
I'm a trainee teacher who is nearing completion of the course in Scotland and until embarking on this course I never imagined just how physically and mentally draining this career is, however I do love it and wouldn't do anything else with my life. Thank you soooo much for this advice I will be sure to share it with my colleagues and you're other videos are fantastic! Especially the UK explanation lol
Unless those students are young Grey, who chooses not to do homework because it's too much time and effort for only 10% of the final mark, so he skips homework and reads some books instead.
Teacher here. No problem with that calculation. Just learn by whatever means necessary. BUT, we do try pretty hard to make the whole package (including homework) work to the goal of max learning with minimum effort. In a well-arranged class, skipping homework may have a cost that is not worth paying, even for bright sparks who are ready to take those calculated risks, like CGP Grey in the (guessing) 90s. If you can skip my homework and still learn everything you need to, I'm doing it wrong.
Then most teachers are doing it wrong, because homework provides little to no benefit, especially compared to the amount of stress it causes and time it consumes, and especially if you give too much or if the student is already doing well. I would modify your last sentence to be "If you *can't* skip my homework and still learn everything you need to, I'm doing it wrong." Students already spend 5 hours every weekday at school - forcibly, I might add. If you can't teach them what they need to know using the time that you have them in front of you, someone is doing something wrong (though it's not necessarily you; honestly the whole school system is to blame for this). Giving homework is cheating; you're not allowed to physically keep them in the classroom longer, so you keep them in it psychologically, stealing time you're not entitled to.
@@NoriMori1992 Are you just getting into high school or something? Or at least, at the time that you wrote this? This is completely wrong. Homework is an important part of an education, *any* research will prove that to you. It is not theft, and it is definitely not an unessential aspect of schooling. Reinforcing concepts learned in the classroom through homework is key, especially with certain subjects like math. Hopefully, this comment was written when you were young and just hated homework because it is, admittedly, a huge drag.
i think that it is for the first time that i realize that teachers work is an never ending story and how much i have to thank to people which had give me their time.thank you
I am also not a teacher. However, a lot of these time management techniques are applicable to several professions. I am in a management training program at my company and some of these techniques have helped me to accomplish much more work in a much smaller time frame. Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful.
I'm in high school but I still watched this because I enjoy your explanations! I really think it was this year that I realized how much time my teachers put in even OUT OF their work day to get assignments graded/essays read/classes planned. There was one teacher I had in my sophomore year, though, that i REALLY didn't like-because he just didn't seem to care whether or not we understood the curriculum and would read ESPN articles while we did the homework. It was honestly my lowest grade EVER.
Hey CGP Grey, I loved this video and have been using a tweaked version of your clipboard system. Do you have ideas about lesson planning as well? And also classroom management?
I liked the old CGP Grey, where is the depressed life management Grey that we used to have!? WHERE!!! No but seriously, why dose he sound so crushed in this video?
Ah, these kinds of videos ... the ones that give amazing advice, and I nod my head and agree while I'm watching, but I'm too lazy to actually implement in my life
I'm going to email this video to every teacher from my school I get lessons from. Hopefully a few days later, class is going to actually be more fun and relaxed for everyone.
This was a great video, even though I am not a teacher (I happen to be a student) many of these time management and organizational strategies are applicable. I tend to make a single to-do list but I will begin to make a must-do and a to-do list. Thanks Grey!
Education Major at UCF and i love this. side-note: i would listen to Grey read a frackin shopping list. All in all I appreciate the hard work and time he puts into his videos. :]
This is actually good. Everyone has different ways of managing things. However, all of our ways actually came from something that we add and mix. Thus, some of these tips are actually good and I would love to try this and do it step by step.
Might be slightly offtopic of this video. But in my opinion, the way public schools treat and handle homework is a waste of the students and the teachers time. Assigning homework to a student that already excells in the subject, or part of the subjects, you are assigning them homework in just wastes time the student could use to learn subjects they are less good at. Correcting this homework then also wastes the teachers time that could be used for other things like creating interresting lessons or thinking off ways to teach certian students more effectively. Instead, giving students a selection of homework like material that covers what ever you are currently teaching in that subject, and then having regular small tests to see which students have, or have not learned what was assigned to them, would be vastly more efficent for the students and the teacher.
Homework is a decent way of studying. It's easier to remember something you wrote down rather than something you heard or saw. Of course, homework is useless when there's too much of it, it just becomes boring work that you need to write out and it all just fades away in your brain due to its dullness. A small or moderate amount of it is alright though.
Having my first class tomorow as a newly ordained history-geography teacher near Paris. Good advices! I'll make sure to follow them. (OMG I'm starting to stress out... 😬😬😬)
All of these things (with the exception of keeping tabs on students, although I find that helpful too) can be used directly or changed moderately to fit a student's lifestyle.
0:57 as a strategical student as myself, yes this is true. i often dodge task that were never graded by my teacher and so i have more time doing task that actually counts!
I think Grey has said that he never once called a parent in his entire teaching career (though I might be misremembering that). Whenever someone asked him to call a parent about something, he just ignored it, on the assumption that if the parent really needed something, they would eventually contact him. Apparently he was right, because as far as I know he didn't get any angry parents on his ass about it.

In a well-arranged class, skipping homework may have a cost that is not worth paying, even for bright sparks who are ready to take those calculated risks, like CGP Grey in the (guessing) 90s. If you can skip my homework and still learn everything you need to, I'm doing it wrong.
Then most teachers are doing it wrong, because homework provides little to no benefit, especially compared to the amount of stress it causes and time it consumes, and especially if you give too much or if the student is already doing well. I would modify your last sentence to be "If you *can't* skip my homework and still learn everything you need to, I'm doing it wrong." Students already spend 5 hours every weekday at school - forcibly, I might add. If you can't teach them what they need to know using the time that you have them in front of you, someone is doing something wrong (though it's not necessarily you; honestly the whole school system is to blame for this). Giving homework is cheating; you're not allowed to physically keep them in the classroom longer, so you keep them in it psychologically, stealing time you're not entitled to.
@@NoriMori1992 Are you just getting into high school or something? Or at least, at the time that you wrote this? This is completely wrong. Homework is an important part of an education, *any* research will prove that to you. It is not theft, and it is definitely not an unessential aspect of schooling. Reinforcing concepts learned in the classroom through homework is key, especially with certain subjects like math. Hopefully, this comment was written when you were young and just hated homework because it is, admittedly, a huge drag.
As a student teacher for now... thanks for great tips! They really helped a lot
i think that it is for the first time that i realize that teachers work is an never ending story and how much i have to thank to people which had give me their time.thank you
i'm a teacher my self and i must say this has changed my life. :)
Cool
While this is helpful content, I am encouraged by how much CGP Grey has learned and improved his videos over the last 8 years.
can u make one 4 students????
Thonk the first comment on the second first video of CGP
Old
Very first CGP grey comment (captain obvious)
b r u h
msInternationalmusic your the first comment of the first video on CGP grey’s channel, congratulations
I am also not a teacher. However, a lot of these time management techniques are applicable to several professions. I am in a management training program at my company and some of these techniques have helped me to accomplish much more work in a much smaller time frame. Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful.
Not just for teachers, but for life :) Very good idea about the Tracking List, I'm going to start using it for my business.
I'm a grant writer and I'm going to use these awesome tips!
Lmao that ending though; that is so CGPGrey. And I say that only because I've listened to a lot of HI.
I'm in high school but I still watched this because I enjoy your explanations! I really think it was this year that I realized how much time my teachers put in even OUT OF their work day to get assignments graded/essays read/classes planned. There was one teacher I had in my sophomore year, though, that i REALLY didn't like-because he just didn't seem to care whether or not we understood the curriculum and would read ESPN articles while we did the homework. It was honestly my lowest grade EVER.
Thank you so much! I am an independent ESL instructor trying to organize myself and your video has greatly helped me.
Happy 10th anniversary of TH-cam! Congrats!
Congrats on 10 years Grey!
Dude, what an evolution about your videos and narration above the time. Its amazing.
But the best: even with those evolution, you make amazing videos!
I told my teachers this year to watch this video. Everything is so much better now. Thanks!
Hey CGP Grey, I loved this video and have been using a tweaked version of your clipboard system. Do you have ideas about lesson planning as well? And also classroom management?
I liked the old CGP Grey, where is the depressed life management Grey that we used to have!? WHERE!!!
No but seriously, why dose he sound so crushed in this video?
This was during a time of bad laptops for him give him slack
As I hope to become a teacher after high school, I found this video very helpful. Thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated.
hey man just wanted to say I respect the time and effort you put in to your channel
Ah, these kinds of videos ... the ones that give amazing advice, and I nod my head and agree while I'm watching, but I'm too lazy to actually implement in my life
...the summer holidays. I lol'd
As a teacher in training, thanks! It's well worth a try to use this.
This doesn't just help teachers, students like me find this very helpful in organizing my work :)
I wonder where time management for teachers v1 is
Wow the last comment was 4 months ago
It's insane how high quality this is after 9 years
I'm going to email this video to every teacher from my school I get lessons from. Hopefully a few days later, class is going to actually be more fun and relaxed for everyone.
0:01 The first second... of the first video...
Not the first video. This is v2.
I want you as my teacher (and i don't say that to everyone)
This was a great video, even though I am not a teacher (I happen to be a student) many of these time management and organizational strategies are applicable. I tend to make a single to-do list but I will begin to make a must-do and a to-do list. Thanks Grey!
I love his voice, I keep trying to convince myself that I might need this information sometime to justify watching this instead of doing my homework
I wish teachers would do that
HI sent me here. ;P
Thomas Giles yup
Thomas Giles Ditto
Thomas Giles Cortex sent me here!
Thomas Giles which one? where is it in the video?
Jeffy Samuel H.I. (Hello Internet) is a podcast made by CGP Grey and Brady Haran. They referred to this video in an episode.
As a new teacher (Starting my first year this upcoming fall!) I appreciate this video more than I can say!! Thanks, CGP Grey
How ya doing?
Education Major at UCF and i love this. side-note: i would listen to Grey read a frackin shopping list. All in all I appreciate the hard work and time he puts into his videos. :]
summer holidays ahahahah

4:25 as an A-Level student that test paper makes my blood boil.
😂😂😂yup😑🙊

Well good job because that's actually a GCSE paper, but we get your point ;)
ark_ryl I
As a student in Cambridge International Examinations same here
MyNameIsCocoa lol that's what my reaction was
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Just what I needed in the last week of the holidays. Good work.
I want to be a biology teacher myself. This is indispensable information. Kudos to you for posting this.
How will watching this video fit into my schedule?
Before school or am I to late
Interesting watching to this after listening to the podcast.
it's like he's not the same person...he recommended using "paper" for organisation.
Paper - The original Ipad
This is actually good. Everyone has different ways of managing things. However, all of our ways actually came from something that we add and mix. Thus, some of these tips are actually good and I would love to try this and do it step by step.
I love this advice and will keep this in mind for my peace corps tour, thank you
I’m 10 so this video was made 2 years before I was born, Wow.
I am a student trying to learn about the teachers way of lifestyle
I loved this video! It motivates me as a teacher and to make some improvements on my planning. Gotta Love the ending!
As a new masters student for teaching, thank you Mr. Grey.
Might be slightly offtopic of this video. But in my opinion, the way public schools treat and handle homework is a waste of the students and the teachers time.
Assigning homework to a student that already excells in the subject, or part of the subjects, you are assigning them homework in just wastes time the student could use to learn subjects they are less good at.
Correcting this homework then also wastes the teachers time that could be used for other things like creating interresting lessons or thinking off ways to teach certian students more effectively.
Instead, giving students a selection of homework like material that covers what ever you are currently teaching in that subject, and then having regular small tests to see which students have, or have not learned what was assigned to them, would be vastly more efficent for the students and the teacher.
Homework is a decent way of studying. It's easier to remember something you wrote down rather than something you heard or saw. Of course, homework is useless when there's too much of it, it just becomes boring work that you need to write out and it all just fades away in your brain due to its dullness. A small or moderate amount of it is alright though.
Who is here after watching the 10 Year Q&A?
Me! =)
THIS IS THE BEST TIPS VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCH. THANK, HOPE I CAN DO THIS!
Having my first class tomorow as a newly ordained history-geography teacher near Paris.
Good advices! I'll make sure to follow them. (OMG I'm starting to stress out... 😬😬😬)
6:00 dammit, my opinion is incorrect
bro this was made before i was born
Hey man maybe get out of youtube bro you are to young or just put on restriced mode i won't tell you how
@@LXBKG hah don’t worry my parents allowed me to use these apps and well i already know everything 😅
@@nicoleonscreen You know nothing…
I'm not a teacher, however its good to see someone making a system for the teachers plus i just like watching your videos so i watch whatever :3
SAVED!!! Could not save this video fast enough. thank you!
Can u do time management for students. I need that!!!
All of these things (with the exception of keeping tabs on students, although I find that helpful too) can be used directly or changed moderately to fit a student's lifestyle.
Point; Students are the worst. I as a student agree with this logic.
this is basically modern learning management systems, it is crazy how far we have come in the last 10 years
0:57 as a strategical student as myself, yes this is true. i often dodge task that were never graded by my teacher and so i have more time doing task that actually counts!
...and then there's calling parents.
I think Grey has said that he never once called a parent in his entire teaching career (though I might be misremembering that). Whenever someone asked him to call a parent about something, he just ignored it, on the assumption that if the parent really needed something, they would eventually contact him. Apparently he was right, because as far as I know he didn't get any angry parents on his ass about it.
