As an Assistant Principal, I was asked (by his mother) to come to a child's home and wake him up because his mother couldn't. What, do we have to be the educator and the parent too? That was a big NO for me.
These parents are CRAZY!!! Nasocally, they want us teachers to do what they, themselves, aren't willing to do.. .. because, you know.... we are the teachers! LOL!!!
At my last school we had one mother ask if we could call the police to take her 6 year old son in just to scare him into behaving. What made it even more ridiculous is that her son wasn't actually a problem at school. He was a menace at home, and he was a menace the first month or so of school, but quickly changed his attitude as soon as he realized none of the teachers were going to put up with his shit. Literally discipline was all the mom needed to implement at home, but instead she wanted to go straight to the police scare tactic...
The city I used to work for had parents calling frequently asking for a police officer to come to their home and make the child go to school because the parent couldn't do it.
I've been asked to do that before as well. Ridiculous. Why do I have to be the bad guy and call the police on a child? Why don't you call the police if you want to have him arrested or scared, which is a ludicrous idea for a bad 6 year old anyway? If he continues to act up at home, maybe she'll get her wish as he grows up and the neighbors will call the police for her.
I'm a 10+ year teacher. Those are all true and not at all embellished. They are why I'm always hesitate to make parent contacts. The more familiar they get with you, the crazier the requests and expectations get.
Doesn’t matter what their expectations are. You are not the school nurse or the school psychologist You’re paid for one job, to teach not to be their babysitter. Parents have to make sure their children are doing what they’re supposed to be doing at school. Some parents are so damn lazy.
I can relate to the teacher having her baby in January. I had a parent upset with me and demanding that I move my surgery to summer because of the impact it would have on her kid’s education. I was scheduled to have a heart valve replacement in December. Nope, can’t do that. (My example was already shared in a previous video. Thanks, Bri!)
Sadly, many parents do not see teachers as humans with needs. She would rather you drop dead from future heart complications than to inconvenience her child. I guess if you were in a burning building, she would not want you to flee for your life until you graded all the papers.
Why did she know about your surgery? That is only your business not hers. Like it's your personal health situation. Why did you tell her that? HIPPA violation right there.
@@denismarquez2966 It’s not a HIPAA violation if it is my own health issue that I am willingly sharing. If my medical provider informed people who are not authorized to know, it’s a different story, and that would be a HIPAA violation. I was honest with my students when I told them I was taking time off for surgery and they wanted to know why and what kind of surgery I was having. Obviously one of my students went home and told mom who then complained. It’s up to individual teachers to share personal details. I had a teacher in high school who shared way too much about her life, but I had another who was going through cancer treatment at the time and was very honest about her situation. Honestly, some people will complain no matter what.
Retired for 10 years now and things have only gotten worse. They don't pay teachers enough, not only for what they're required to do in the classroom, but for dealing with delusional parents who ask these kinds of questions or call educators groomers who are indoctrinating their children. And people want to know why so many teachers are leaving!!!
If a teacher tells small children about sex in detail without parental consent or nonsense about gender, yeah, that IS grooming. I understand some parents are totally irrational and crazy - but so is some of the stuff people are trying to get teachers to tell kids!
@@boopdoop2251 NOBODY is telling children about sex in detail in preschool or in the primary grades. So if that's the BS you or anyone else wants to believe then you're all deranged people who spend too much time being fed lies and conspiracy theories on social media, and then show up at school board meetings ranting about "groomers" in the classroom as if that's something that is actually happening in every single school building across the land. Maybe these parents should look for all these groomers in their churches. As for what students are being taught in public schools as pertains to sex; in 4th grade science they learn about plant and animal reproduction. In 5th grade there is a brief course given on puberty, bodily changes that come with that, and basic human reproduction, with the boys and girls separated so they don't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. They are also given the opportunity to write any questions they may have and discreetly give them to the teacher so all questions can be addressed and no one knows who asked it. NONE of this human reproduction unit in science is taught to any student without written parental consent. No one is trying to "get teachers to tell kids" anything inappropriate for their age and their level of understanding.
This whole thing proves my observation that the level of entitlement in this society regardless of age, race/ethnicity is ON ONE. I mean the AUDACITY of these parents!
I'm an old guy who went to school in the 60's and early 70's. In those days the schools didn't even care enough to ask about food allergies. The only choice at lunch was "do you want to eat or not". Kids got paddled for just running in the hallways. I saw a teacher flip over a kid's desk . . . while the kid was sitting in the desk. Parents be crazy these days.
I don't know what I enjoyed more... the ridiculous requests or the wonderful narrator. Time to go back and find Parts 1 through 5. Your animated narration put the biggest smile on my face watching this. Thank you.
Daughter of a teacher here & based off my moms stories, I knew every detail of every story he just told, was true. It’s honestly depressing to see how wide spread delusional parents are & honestly, I think it’ll lead to society’s collapse in the near future. 🤷🏻♀️
Retired teacher here. Insanity doesn't begin to describe the situation of our culture now and how that shows up in the classroom, so I do have to wonder.
Except that teaching has the highest rate of sexual abuse against minors of any profession , and many teachers are now openly talking to their students about gender and sexuality... So I think the insanity is on both sides
I've watched nearly all of these now... and the sheer amount of parents who want teachers to: - track/deal with poop - get their child ready in the morning (dressed, and transported) - Do special favors for their specific special spawn - Plan their pregnancies and surgeries around THEIR Child's needs is absolutely MIND BLOWING. I expect Teachers to get requests that pertain to a child's medical needs like excuse diabetics eating something quickly, allow for a student to be excused to the nurse to take a medication, and making teachers aware of allergies- but uh... that's it. and I know there are way too many entitled parents out there who ask for grades to be changed, but holy cow I didn't know how bonkers some of these things are.
The pregnancy one made me laugh soooo hard bc my mom (a highschool teacher) literally had me and my brothers planed to have us at the end of the year and in summer April may and June to be exact so that she would be out for the last few weeks and not deal with the crazy parents complaining about her maternity leave
Laughed so hard I scared my cats off my bed. Daaaaaam. That last request resulted in me spraying blue raspberry slurpee all over the phone screen. Did I mention daaaaam? Thank you and your fellow teachers for serving our communities while facing budget cuts,unruly kids,and parent requests. Y'all deserve sooo much more money for what ya deal with daily.
I taught American Sign language at a community college. I had a mother come in and ask me to teach the whole class the signing system her son used so he could get all A's. The 19 year old "Child" was using a system he and his mother created so the answer was NO.
Disagree with the ending - teachers DON’T get paid to put up with shit, it’s just a “side benefit”…..as NO WAY is our salary anywhere NEAR enough to compensate for all of this crap! Keep strong.
Teachers should not have to do the things that are the parent's obligations, like dressing them, checking their poo, or teaching them to tie their shoes.
And these same entitled parents are the ones that go crazy if the child is reprimanded for rude or bad behavior like talking back or disrespecting the teachers.
Helping teach really small children to tie their shoes isn’t the bother. When working with pre-K and Kindergarten children, I enjoyed helping show them how to make the “bunny ears” to lace their shoes, especially since I struggled tying my shoes for a very long time. Especially at that age, they are so eager to show they are big kids and it’s really adorable to see them watch you as you go through every step. Those are life-skills which should be the teamwork of a teacher AND a parent, and children should be able to ideally be proud of their teachers AND their parents for helping them to be independent adults. Checking a child’s poop and getting handcuffs off them? That’s another story entirely. Absolutely not. I’d prefer helping tie a child’s shoes any day.
I was a head teacher of an infant room for 10 years. My hours were 6:30-3:00. I had an entitled parent tell me I had to come to her house before work and get her baby ready for daycare and bring him in because she had two other kids to take care of. She was a stay at home mom and her baby was in school from open to close. Our kids start at 6 weeks and she actually talked the owner into starting the baby at 5 weeks.
I am a parent of school age kids. I feel for teachers everywhere. I spent 17+ years as on site Facility Manager. for a major Corporation. I had adults ask me ridiculous building requests and make ridiculous demands. I think the parents in these letters worked in my buildings. 😂😂😂
One year, I had a parent drop off unsigned Valentine's Day cards. He said, "Can't you fill them out?" I said "sir I have 20 prek kids and don't have time to do so. He stood there and signed him himself.
I had parents ask me if I could teach their kids...twins in the same class...a different unit because they weren't into the one I was currently teaching. They wanted me to teach chemistry. A subject I had no materials for, nor was I trained to teach and it was the last month of my first year of teaching . 👀
My mom had to send extra worksheets home with one elementary school student because the mom had so much fun she would do them for her kid if there weren't extras for her.
US schools are required to provide a hot/warm lunch option. It is the parents choice to have their child eat the hot school lunch or bring their own cold lunch from home. Not teachers responsibility to re-heat a child's lunch. If I had to re-heat 5 student lunches that would leave only 10 min to eat my own lunch
Because they even expect your childbirth to fall in you time off… comes back to the idea that they don’t see teachers as being allowed to have any free time or time for themselves. Ever.
These are absolutely true! Last year during a Professional Development day (kids were virtual for the day) a mom frantically emailed me asking me if I can call the home and get her child, who she was at home with, to start his assignments. He wouldn't listen to her and she didn't know what to do 🙄😳 I didn't even respond. Lady, hell nawh...
I have worked in autistic classrooms where trampolines are available as it helps with sensory issues, motor coordination, and stress reduction. But these are supplied by the school, not the teacher. I feel that this could also be beneficial in a general classroom where there is a student or students with autism, adhd, or just can't sit for long periods of time and needs a way to get out the excess energy so they can focus better.
A parent requested that I get certain things approved by her first before I proceed with her son. So one day I called to get approval but not from her but instead from her HUSBAND who works out in the field. I called his office they radioed him and said it was his son's school on the line and his teacher needed to speak directly to him. In those years there were no cell phones. He drove to the office called me back and I asked him, "could his son go to recess today." He was bewildered so I read his wife's letter to him. Needless to say I never had any more requests, instruction, suggestions, comments or questions from her. The rest of the year got real quiet.🤐
I had a parent tell me once to" whip his butt" if his child got out of line. Another parent did not want to pick up her child who came form with the chicken pox because she said she caught it at the school in the first place. Thsts only a few out of my 25 years as teacher! Feel free to use these😂🤣😅
S O and I taught inner city. One of the great things about that is there was very little interaction with parents. They were just too busy. But…a boy came to school and asked SO about a physical problem he had because his mother said “Ask the doctor” Sorry not that kind of doctor. Another women who was called into school because her son had all ‘F”’s said she didn’t know there was a problem because her son told her F meant fantastic.
Haha my Dad was head of transportation. He sas screamed at by a parent because he wouldnt allow his bus driver to leave the bus with children on it and go into the parents house and get the child ready for school.
😂❤. Counting calories…I gave that up decades ago 😂 I’m so grateful that I’m a boomer. People have no clue that they are sooo stupid!🤯 I used to read the encyclopedia when I was young. Love history. My first President was Eisenhower. Lots of history gone by. Take care!😊
People are straight up nuts! Being a retired respiratory therapist and knowing the strange things people have asked me, teachers must hear hundreds of crazy asks by the time they retire.
LMAO, do it, buy the trampoline. Then when parent comes to pick up the kid at the end up the day, tell the parent that little Johnny is still stuck in the damn ceiling and she can get him down. Then charge her for new ceiling tiles. 😂
I am an EA. I had a parent find me online using the information ony names tag. They proceeded to make all kinds of requests of me and asked questions about grading, other students in the class, ect that in no way am I going to disclose. They had tried to get the information from the teacher and were stonewalled, do I was their next target. Since then I cover all but the first three letters of my last name on my name tag, and go by that with students.
Unfreakinbelieveable! These entitled arrogant parents! My mom was a teacher for 30 years in San Francisco and she would die laughing if she heard this! Some people really shouldn't 'be parents because their kids will be just like them--like they walk on water! These parents should be publicly shamed! Love this teacher!
What make me not want to have kids is other parents, and that is truly it. I already know it's gonna be drama. So many parents are self conscious, ashamed, and plain dumb, and they do not like it being pointed out.
I can't believe the requests of these parents! Teachers don't make what they deserve to make already and expecting them to jump through hoops is insane!
Honestly this needs to be a segment at the end of the nightly national news. Show all of America what is up.
YES!
👏👏👏👏👏YES!!!!
Yes!!!
The most brilliant idea I've heard in a long time.
I wonder if it's passive aggressive to email all the parents a list of what I get paid to do
“I don’t trust these students with a glue stick”! Too funny!
Also true, and never with scissors. 🤣 ✂️
I know, I actually burst out laughing at that!
I don't trust most adults with a glue stick let alone kids
The parent's attitude of entitlement is passed on directly to their offspring.
Recently retired secondary school teacher here. I can attest that those stories are all true-and not reserved for the elementary grades.
UNBELIEVABLE!
This is scary! These people are our future? 😳
@Mary D - your kitty is adorable ❤❤
Do you mind sharing some of the craziest parent request you have had as a teacher?
These stories are one of several reasons why my husband and I decided early on to NOT have children.

He drove to the office called me back and I asked him, "could his son go to recess today." He was bewildered so I read his wife's letter to him. Needless to say I never had any more requests, instruction, suggestions, comments or questions from her. The rest of the year got real quiet.🤐
I had a parent tell me once to" whip his butt" if his child got out of line. Another parent did not want to pick up her child who came form with the chicken pox because she said she caught it at the school in the first place. Thsts only a few out of my 25 years as teacher! Feel free to use these😂🤣😅
These people don’t know teachers don’t get paid enough for what they already do ….. I can’t Lmfaoo
S O and I taught inner city. One of the great things about that is there was very little interaction with parents. They were just too busy. But…a boy came to school and asked SO about a physical problem he had because his mother said “Ask the doctor” Sorry not that kind of doctor. Another women who was called into school because her son had all ‘F”’s said she didn’t know there was a problem because her son told her F meant fantastic.
Haha my Dad was head of transportation. He sas screamed at by a parent because he wouldnt allow his bus driver to leave the bus with children on it and go into the parents house and get the child ready for school.
Wow!😅😅
No maaaam. No, I’m not doing that😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣I love you❣️
I wish these stories surprised me but they don’t - anybody out of education just doesn’t understand!
Unbelievable the audacity so many parents have!
“I’m not going anywhere new your child’s poop.”! I lost it! I just busted out laughing! I needed that laugh!
Your reactions to these are gold!
I stand by the gluestick example
I could never understand why some of my classmates in early grades would eat paste and/or glue. Can’t see the appeal.
You get paid to put up with shit! But not on that personal a level!!!!😂😂😂😂
😂❤. Counting calories…I gave that up decades ago 😂 I’m so grateful that I’m a boomer. People have no clue that they are sooo stupid!🤯 I used to read the encyclopedia when I was young. Love history. My first President was Eisenhower. Lots of history gone by. Take care!😊
People are straight up nuts! Being a retired respiratory therapist and knowing the strange things people have asked me, teachers must hear hundreds of crazy asks by the time they retire.
"I don't trust these kids with a glue stick", yep, I lost it.. coffee all over the floor now. Thank goodness I missed my computer, lol.
That ending was PERFECT 😂
The entitlement is CRAZY!! 🤦
LMAO, do it, buy the trampoline. Then when parent comes to pick up the kid at the end up the day, tell the parent that little Johnny is still stuck in the damn ceiling and she can get him down. Then charge her for new ceiling tiles. 😂
I was a school nurse... And some parents requests 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Teachers like you don't get paid enough. I thought 6:30 was sleeping in
This is refreshing to watch, as a teacher I can definitely relate. The request are ridiculous. RIDICULOUS
He's hilarious 😂
That last request regarding the fecal test, that could not be for real!!!.
The sheer audacity of these people. I'm a parent and even I don't understand these insane people.
What 🤦🏾♀️🤣👏🏾🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
I am an EA. I had a parent find me online using the information ony names tag. They proceeded to make all kinds of requests of me and asked questions about grading, other students in the class, ect that in no way am I going to disclose. They had tried to get the information from the teacher and were stonewalled, do I was their next target.
Since then I cover all but the first three letters of my last name on my name tag, and go by that with students.
"Ma'am" is my favorite way to start my "no" lol
Unfreakinbelieveable! These entitled arrogant parents! My mom was a teacher for 30 years in San Francisco and she would die laughing if she heard this! Some people really shouldn't 'be parents because their kids will be just like them--like they walk on water! These parents should be publicly shamed! Love this teacher!
These parents are completely
Delusional 🤣
What make me not want to have kids is other parents, and that is truly it. I already know it's gonna be drama. So many parents are self conscious, ashamed, and plain dumb, and they do not like it being pointed out.
I can't believe the requests of these parents! Teachers don't make what they deserve to make already and expecting them to jump through hoops is insane!
The ENTITLEMENT OF THESE PARENTS!
"No." , says it all.
So funny... I love his answers.
Wonder if you could post these parents requests in the school yearbook under the students class picture?
That would be a great idea.
Hilarious delivery. I was always able to deal with kids. They were great. Most parents too. Most. Just most.
Regarding the hand cuff's, you would need to be a locksmith not a blacksmith..
Legit 99% of this is filed under "S" for "Sounds Like A You Problem" 😂
