I never had to run errands in school because the one time I was asked I ended up crying because I didn’t know where anything was and gave it to another kid in the hallway to do
My favorite teachers always gave me options. Physics was always "so long a you're not bothering others, do what you want", so I was messing around in the physics modeling software we were using. Others were "you can do some reading (bonus, big reader, always had a book with me) or do you WANT to run some errands (sure, I like wandering around), least of course was "just put your head down and stay quiet. Of the teachers I liked.
I often got rude hostility… accusations of just “skimming” it or sloppiness by “speeding” thru. Uhm no. Check my work. Me: “A minus? why the minus? I got them all right.” Teacher: “Because I told you before to slow down and not be sloppy.” Me: “I did go slower just for you.” Teacher:”Oh you think you are so smart. Keep it up with being a smart alek and I’ll send you to the principal!” Some of the teachers HATE smart kids. Jealous of the high IQ kids. i didn’t understand it back then but I can see it now. I just didn’t know why I got hostility from some teachers. I was a good well behaved kid.
Lmfaoo no she is not. While she is a wonderful human and I love her style of teaching as it humanizes kids a lot of parents would have a pure tee damn fit! They are actively trying to pass laws that will suppress and erase teachers like her
God, I hated that in primary school. It is literally impossible to have a set time for 'how long' assigned work takes. Every student has their strengths and weaknesses, and their own pace that works best for them. Mine just happened to be slightly faster than the others 🤷♀️
I’d recheck and then go up to the teacher for them to recheck because I’d be anxious about how long it took me but I also didn’t trust myself when I did recheck
Man, the day a standardized testing proctor asked me if I was sure I paid attention and I looked her in the eye and said yes was the day I first challenged my anxieties. And the joy of watching her backtrack to “and if it’s this good now, imagine how good it would be if you took your time next time” was beautiful.
Many teachers who use the errand runner method are giving kids who need to move about a chance to do so. It also empowers some children to feel important by having a task. I loved running errands!
I sometimes got into trouble for finishing work early, but I discovered most teachers were ok if you finished then started reading a book (which was all I wanted to do anyway), so I always had a book in my bag to bring out when I'd finished my class work.
@@roche320 that's horrible!! i understand if the work that's being done in class is to lesson homework load but i have a feeling that's not what's happening here... those poor kids i wish the school systems and all were more conducive to fostering independence and personal growth yk :( i remember i used to love love love reading in elementary and middle school and would get so excited whenever i was able to have some reading time in class!
Or they were okay with coloring/drawing/doodling. As an inspiring artist, who only wanted to do art 24/7, I loved finishing early then getting back to drawing. Math was alway interrupting my art time 😊
@@fairygrl999 i had a teacher tell me specifically i wasnt allowed to read while all the other kids were allowed to because i "Read too much" since i always finished my work quickly
I was tutor for hire and the errand runner. On the latter my second grade teacher had me convinced I was the best note passer-oner ever to grace her presence. She would tell me I was very trustworthy and quick. Anyway took me years to realize the errands weren’t for her, they were for me. She prevented me from boredom and also gave me some confidence, even if she was just being strategic it means a lot that she put in that extra attention and care, other teacher would make me seem like a discipline case, but the teacher I had like her made the biggest difference.
When I was in elementary seeing other kids have free time would make me hurry and not take my time. I would eventually give up on the assignment or fill in random bubbles.
as somebody who finished their work early in elementary almost every single time, I truly loved when teacher has me do errands. I struggled with being quite and stuff so i was sent on “Missions” and it was the highlight of my day. I also enjoyed helping others. I felt useful and it helped a lot with me not disturbing the class.
THIS.IS.IT. The last one is how I aspire to be simply parenting my children. Every person desires to be recognized &/ or encouraged when they complete something earlier than anticipated, and some students find added responsibility more of a challenge, and not a chore. I so very much appreciate your content and your humanity.
the few times i finished early I had a lot of the teachers that would be rude about it, so I started quietly going on ahead on a separate piece of paper so i could cover it if they didn’t want me to go ahead. Or I would just pretend to be very interested in one of the questions. Either way I didn’t need them making me feel bad for being productive.
I loved running errands for the teacher, gave me time to get out of the class room and breath. I was always anxious from being overstimulated and need a break from social interaction. 😅 I would quietly drop things off without saying a word
“Just be quiet” and “free time” were the best. I could either take a nap and wake up, half way zoned out, or I could listen to music/read a book/novel/take a nap.
I loved helping other kids when i was in school. My mom was a teacher and i may go into teaching myself. I've already worked as an aid for special needs students and i loved it
Ha! Send that to Megan Trainer! Thanks Jere for being real, true, & honest. ❤ your message. Keep up the videos. I love watching u eat lunch on my lunch. As I work in an elementary life skills class & need to laugh on my break. You'd be awesome on our team. Your kids are lucky to have u MS. Chang!
I've always LOVED doing errand runs for teachers, im in high school and still get SO excited for the runs. I get to roam around to find places and not get in trouble for it.
I teach high school students. I love to allow them the opportunity for chill breaks. These kids are always on the go and taking a minute to just look out the window and appreciate life never hurt anyone.
We had coloured folders assigned to us and we would just pick an assignment out of the folder and work on it till everyone else finished. Each student got their own folder and depending on the colour the work was a different level so that everyone can work at there own level.
But don't even THINK about getting out work for another subject (or worse...another TEACHER). I never understood why ALL of my K-12 teachers we so dang strict about that.
I liked the teachers who made me into a deputy tutor honestly. I liked (and still like) explaining stuff and I feel kind it made me understand it better
honestly having adhd was really difficult when id finish early and have nothing else to do but fidget around, so i'm super grateful for the teachers who'd give me little errands to run or talk to me/engage me with my interests until everyone else had also finished. made me feel useful and less awkward for being a little different. ^_^
Me and my friends are my teacher’s favorites we always run errands and he lets us pick out what games we do during class it’s honestly going to be hard going into the next grade not having that 😐
I loved the free time. Most teachers eventually picked up that I just wanted to read my book of the day, and gave me blanket permission to just start reading when I finished work, no need to ask.
I used to finish my work really early in 7th grade honors math. My teacher would loan me books to read. Including 1984! The whole class tended to finish early, so we ended up finishing the entire curriculum a few weeks early. He had a couple of old Apple computers in the back (this was mid-90s, so OLD, black screens with green text), so we spent the last couple of weeks of the spring semester learning how to program!
getting a break is great 'cause it's very rare to actually get them during school I used to get breaks during spanish but sometimes I walk up to my teacher and ask questions about words or ask if she needs me to do anything like grabbing papers or smth I've actually made the executive decision to only use my off hour for schoolwork if it's absolutely necessary because otherwise I'd go crazy with all the work and whatnot
I taught 4th/5th grade. They had options, but free time was always their choice! I loved it, not trying to give myself more work by telling them to do more work. They liked their down time and always preferred reading or a quiet game while they waited. They were awesome!
All my math teacher says is just to not get on her nerves and that’s pretty much it so you could like walk around and play games on your iPad ( my school uses iPads) and she just lets us walk out of class if we need to use the restroom but one of her number one rules is to not throw up in her class so yeah! :D
Some of these are super necessary (not the sarcastic one) for children who get bored/need stimuli. If I tell some of my students to relax or take a break they’re climbing the walls in minutes.
I have a done bin for kids when they are "done" and they love it! Threw some play dough, coloring pages, educational card games (matching types) and on the box it gives a list of other free time things they can do (read, practice handwriting/write a story) I think it helps them be focused on what to do, but keep them relaxed enough that they actually want to finish their work lol!
My teacher is always like either help the students, put your head down, read a book, sit quietly, check your work, do the next problems or unfinished work

But honestly in elementary school it was the best feeling when the teacher would have you run errands for them
Fr!! I always do errands for my teacher, and I always feel great after!

Errand runner and free time have to be the best two, imo. I love just getting a break from thinking during school lmfao
The head down one also if you can get a nap in
I liked these options.. errand running you got to roam the halls and see what everyone was doing 😂
Yeees! I never got to do chores at home, so when my teacher gave me an errand it made me feel really useful!
You are the teacher every parent wishes their child had. You are an awesome teacher. More need be like you.
Thank you 😊
I often got rude hostility…

My current school doesn't want us to allow students to even read a book. They're expected to continue with other work or study.

Just remember not to be the sarcastic teacher: it's invalidating and just makes you feel like shit
Theres also the "doubter" that tells you to go back ajd do it again because thry dint believe lol
I love that the other teachers are Clue characters.
My favorite movie
@@mschanggifted Me too! It’s the funniest movie ever!
@@mschanggiftedoh my gosh same!! I knew you were cool, but now you’re like, COOL cool!!

Man! I spent more time with my head down on the desk more than I did with it up.
Running errands was my favorite thing to do at school lol.
Samee
I’m in middle school Its still my favorite thing because I have ADHD and not allowed to move in class so doing it makes me feel less twitchie

I loved running errands for the teacher, gave me time to get out of the class room and breath. I was always anxious from being overstimulated and need a break from social interaction. 😅 I would quietly drop things off without saying a word
Don’t forget the one that says check your work or the one that says to read
The sarcastic one made everyone feel so bad about themselves, I’m glad you recognize the correct reaction😂
always make sure to check that tutors finished work though! can imagine the horror of them going around showing how they got the wrong answers LOL
I've learned sarcasm when they present a small achievement like finishing work early actually hurts the child, it's better to just be gentle ❤
“Just be quiet” and “free time” were the best. I could either take a nap and wake up, half way zoned out, or I could listen to music/read a book/novel/take a nap.
Or the "You should go over it and look for mistakes."
This
I loved the errands, and free time. But also lowkey the extra work. It just made me feel smart lmao.
The last one is always my fave cuz it's an incentive for finishing and not a punishment lol
My class LOVED being the tutor so much
Were those the names of characters from clue? Or was it just me?
Nah. 100%.
Yes they were
i literally had all those teachers, the errands running got me laughing. just spot on ahaha
The errand runner and free time is the fun ones. I also liked when my teacher asked us to help her do stuff
The last one fits the most for you for sure.
I loved the errand runner and the helping other kids. Also the sit there and read was nice too.
I loved helping other kids when i was in school. My mom was a teacher and i may go into teaching myself. I've already worked as an aid for special needs students and i loved it
Running errands for the teacher was awesome! At least a nice chance to stretch your legs and maybe say hi to a friend in another class
The sarcastic one 😂

I've always LOVED doing errand runs for teachers, im in high school and still get SO excited for the runs. I get to roam around to find places and not get in trouble for it.
i have had every single one of these teachers lmao
As you get older putting your head down is godly in class
I loved running errands for teachers simply because I hate not being able to move around, I get too sleepy if I'm in one spot for too long
I was always the tutor, I’d go around helping everyone else
I teach high school students. I love to allow them the opportunity for chill breaks. These kids are always on the go and taking a minute to just look out the window and appreciate life never hurt anyone.

errand running >>>
I loved running errands for teachers. I was the teacher’s pet even though I was one of the slowest people to finish my work every time.
The last one and the head lay is the best out of them all
I loved being the errand runner and honestly didn’t mind the tutor
I love the errands that teachers gave me
I just love that you know she is always the last one
I love the last teacher those where the best times about to graduate bring back them memories
I loved running errands for teachers, I did it ALOT in high school.
I loved the tutor, errand runner and free time parts so much.
I liked the teachers who made me into a deputy tutor honestly. I liked (and still like) explaining stuff and I feel kind it made me understand it better
I love it when they gave us options
this is why i would only tell certain teachers when i was finished, depending on what sort of reply i figured they would give hahah
I loved the runner type ones. They let me do stuff i normally was never able to.. like walking…
I had almost every single one of these teachers at one point in time.
The last one was always the best ngl
I'm the break kind, I love rewarding the kids when they work thier hardest. As the saying goes, "Work hard, play hard."
honestly having adhd was really difficult when id finish early and have nothing else to do but fidget around, so i'm super grateful for the teachers who'd give me little errands to run or talk to me/engage me with my interests until everyone else had also finished. made me feel useful and less awkward for being a little different. ^_^
I liked being the gopher kid, you get to go for this and go for that but you always felt important helping out
In Elementary for 3rd grade the last one was definitely my teacher
I loved doing the errands because I got to get out of the classroom lol
Honestly who doesn't love free time
My teacher is every one of those except the last one
The second one makes me feel like my quick work means nothing
The put your head down one is what me and my class had to do after SPAC testing
Last one is the best one

The first one is honestly just every middle school math teacher out there
I love running errands for my teacher. When I was in third grade the teacher used to alway ask me and my friend to run errands.
Honestly I've done the break, the errands run, and the helper thing. The helper only works well in elementary lol
Errand running was my favorite thing to do when I was in middle school 😂
The break and errand is my favorite
The “read a book teacher” has left the chat
Part 2 should include‘I hope you got them all right’

My teacher is always like either help the students, put your head down, read a book, sit quietly, check your work, do the next problems or unfinished work
I was legit motivated to be picked to run errands though! 😂😂😂
“You finished quick. Did you double check your work?”
I love that the teachers are clue characters??
Yep 😀
Gotta love those teachers who let you do hw when finished
The second one is me when my classmates yell DONE in class 😂
