- I have over 190 additional teacher comedy sketches, and stand up on this channel. Hit subscribe and get to watching. Find me on tour and merch at classroomcomedian.com and catch my weekly podcast, Crying in My Car: A Podcast for Teachers.
In my first year of teaching i was in a small town and I went to the doctor. I was physically fit. He took my blood pressure and he straight away went, “ Let me guess. You’re a teacher?”
Oh wow...that's interesting.
That's what happened to me! Is it that obvious?
In my first year of teaching I was sick ALL the time. It is like working in an infectious disease lab but without any safety PPE.
So true, y’all! My doc wanted me to leave teaching for years. I had a mental breakdown at work and couldn’t return without a signed doctor note. He refused and I don’t blame him. Even though it was a huge financial hit and took a while to recover, five years out of teaching I am so happy and I have my doctor to thank for that.
My mom was a teacher and the medical history is ACCURATE! I needed this! Is it really still September? 🤣
It's almost October even...
Very true. I really think the stress of teaching causes many ailments.
@@lisadiconti Very true.... Just searched for this video after grading mountain of papers with weird solutions written by students of class 5th......gave me a headache......a really bad one.... Year two teacher here
@@ratnasanyal1774 Oh my. I think this will be my last year. Good luck to you. :) I teach 4th grade.
@@lisadiconti Hi , I teach 4th grade too along with 3rd and 5th grade maths and it gets horrible day by day. I know. Good luck for your future.
The thing about a former student making after 3 months at Amazon was real.
I've seen a couple instances where teachers are working 2nd jobs in restaurants with former students being their supervisor. That is some serious humility that should not be required.
Doctor Mike should react to this, too.
Yes
Lol, hey from the first comment section
YES YES YES.l I was thinking the same. Send the clip to him; I'm not techie minded enough to do that.
@@terrynorton4561 I just left a comment on one of his videos with a link to this one (if you put a URL in a comment, TH-cam automatically makes it a link).
Talked to my psych about leaving the profession today. Trying to last until June 2023 when I can get full retirement. This week I mainlined peanut butter and enjoyed sharpie smell when I made anchor charts. 😂 Starting 6th week.
I'm thinking of retiring early. My health is vulnerable, and I'd rather just have to make less money than go all the way to full retirement.
I am retiring early and will not look back.
I am not a teacher, but my heart really goes out to all educators.
@@YahuahsDaughterLuke Thank you. ❤
@@lisadiconti You are welcome 🙏🏾
omg shutting that door during lunchtime is so accurate. ours lock, thankfully.
I just discovered you. You are hilarious!!! My parents were both in education and both encouraged me to go into medicine. I am happy I did but have huge respect for teachers.
The more I watch you the less I laugh. These skits might become a documentary someday. Its only funny till you live it. I guess there is some comfort knowing you are not the only one suffering. Schadenfreude. Seeing your loved ones come home crying on the daily is hard and no one really appreciates their efforts.
Well the jokes are still there, just harder to break through with all teachers are going though.
@@DevinSiebold Don't get me wrong, I find you very funny and have laughed at many of your videos. Have shared you with many teachers who have gotten a kick out of it.
You killed me with the worlds finest chocolate bars comment my high school is going to sell them to pay for our senior dues .
Been there, done that with the Swedish fish and gummi bears. At the doctor today,- blood pressure is a little high. Gee, you think?
My son's high school French teacher - someone with a PhD - quit teaching to work at Amazon simply because the salary was higher and she needed to pay off her student debt. So that's how America's education system is doing. Awesome.
I know quite a few teachers that have done the same. Not sure what we will do, the system seems at a breaking point.
Most of the early-career teachers I know had second jobs during the school year as well as in summer. One mid-career teacher was taking time off work to work his UPS job so he would have enough part-time experience to go full time. All pre-covid. No one I know now now has the energy to work a teaching job and then go to part time jobs.
Sad- teachers can actually get loan forgiveness after 10 years of teaching and paying loans.
Dual beds in the exam room. Must be the overcrowding.
Ouch, that last joke about going into real estate hit a nerve.
"I just breakout-of work." 😆😆😆😂😂😂😎
2:36 yes sir, my throat is sore as hell from stress and all the talking I have to do everyday. my feets hurts and I can't find the right shoes to minimise the pain. and don't let me start to talk about my colon issues. I'm only 24 and I feel like dying.
Best wishes. You deserve to take care of yourself.
I have some good news, and some bad news. You won't die....aaannd that's about it.
Take some time for yourself. I left teaching, and when I did my body healed almost overnight. I didn't even think that stress could impact my health as much as it obviously was.
Totally relate to eating all the students' treats myself, and lunch being whatever the fundraiser food is! 🤣
Feels like June to me...... or that down time right after the holidays but just before testing lol
So true!!! And they wonder why there’s a teacher shortage! 🤣🤣🤣😢
When he said World’s Finest Candy Bars yah currently sell those wanna buy some?😂😂
Interesting how Devin the doctor didn't ask if Devin the teacher had recently caught any sicknesses (sans Covid) from any of his students.
How’s your diet?
I had lunch at 5(?) yesterday because I had no other time to… school lets out a little after 2
I appreciate you. I wish this wasn’t so common.
Thank you
Excellent. So much joy watching you.
Perfect 10!!! Nailed it! The weight of teaching and Swedish Fish 🤣
Thank you fellow teacher!!! Keep up the great work! I love your humor!
This is all too true. If I don't go to sleep in front of a murder documentary (haha!) for at LEAST an hour after school, I am not able to function for the evening or the next day. It makes me feel weak sometimes that I do that instead of the stay up late and get up early thing that so many teachers talk about, but I literally can't even drive if I miss that hour. (See Spoon Analogy) Thank you so much for showing this side of it. 😃
I needed this laugh! Thank you! -From a teacher 🤣🤣🤣
I used to force myself to smile as I drove into the school... in the hopes the muscle movements from fake smiles might generate enough endorphins to get me through the day!
I taught for 39 years - all in low socioeconomic, “challenging” school environments.
While I enjoyed working with my students - mostly - the added stresses of inept or inefficient “leadership”, along with increasing & never ending data & curriculum requirements, meant I felt positively ECSTATIC when I retired! 🥳
If your mental & physical health are shattered, or well on way, remember, they don’t pay extra for martyrs.
Look after yourselves, as your students - & more importantly YOU - deserve better!
So accurate!!
Part of that advice is what I wish everyone could be told when they enter the workforce. I worked myself to the bone before I became disabled. No pay raises or promotions ever came my way. They take for granted what they get already for no extra cost.
@@doubtful_seer I’m so very sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing okay now.
truth!
Teaching will drain you more mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than just about any other job. Then there's the just plain physical fatigue.
There's no tired like end-of-the-year-teacher-tired.
My wife is leaving teaching to become a real estate agent lol
I buy snacks for my Quiz Bowl team's after school practices. I figured that if I didn't they would all scatter looking for food after the last bell and be late. I am guilty of raiding the stash most days.
I love this guy 😂
Oh my gosh, this feels so true. I get headaches regularly entering my school. Is it Thanksgiving break yet??
I totally understand your feeling sister.... I have the same problem... Really really bad headache and anxiety.
I can SO relate and that's why it's funny. I retired after 25 years of teaching high-school math. Teaching is one of my life's biggest regrets. Horrible profession to be in. Personal experience, of course. ...causes depression, anxiety , 2 nervous breakdowns....praise God I'm out!!!
“And dont forget the $90 copay on the way out.
“Ah, i forgot… he is American”
*laughs in european*
Ha ha ha...I feel like this describes my career as a pediatric nurse. 🤣
My Dr keeps offering me Klonopin ...😆
Ahhhh....the treats that were supposed to be for the kids. 😬🤣
This is awesome!!
In 1999, after my classroom was torched by arsonists, destroying 20 year’s worth of books and resources, I was allocated a day a week for about 4-6 weeks for reorganising, ordering, etc.for my class & another which was partially affected.
The next term I found I couldn’t cope with full time teaching, so asked for a further 9 days out of class - meaning a day a week for the rest of that term. I was told I had to be first assessed by a psychiatrist.
He said I was “mildly depressed”. You THINK?! My assessment? Majorly pissed off!
19 years later I had cancer and my return to school - after successful surgery & not needing chemo - was hampered by my principal, who didn’t give me the correct information or organise the paperwork on time.
I retired at the end of that year & my farewell? A gift left in my tray in the staff room.
So my advice? Look put YOUR health FIRST, because no one else will!
How come I can no longer edit my comments? The last sentence of my comment above should’ve started with “Put”, not “Look”. Technology....
@@heatherjay8802 They don't care if you have cancer. It actually bugs them when someone is sick. It is really tragic. I am glad you retired, and I am sorry for a gift left in your tray. I had something similar happen to me.
@@lisadiconti I appreciate your comments Lisa & I’m very sorry to hear you had similar experiences. Unfortunately, too many “essential workers” AREN’T actually treated as if they ARE essential!
It’s often the education dept. policies people at schools have to implement, which cause the most angst. The best leaders, I’ve found, are those who manage & minimise the “angst”!
Fortunately, I did have some wonderful teaching experiences & received a lovely farewell from the school I was at, 3 years before my retirement, so I don’t count my last school. I hope you are able to take good care of yourself!
@@heatherjay8802 Thank you, Heather. It is true what you say about "essential workers". I do my best to take care of myself. I am glad you had some wonderful teaching experiences and had a lovely farewell at one of your schools. :)
Even for a teacher, if we work ourselves to death, the organization (school) will replace us quickly and move on as if we never existed. Absolutely out your health and your family first.
It's a balance I've come a LONG way with, bug still work towards.
A few years ago, my friend Erik (the kids all loved him and called him "Mr. Erik") died because of this. He literally worked himself to death the second week of school. Now, it's like he was never there. Miss you, bro.
Very accurate lol
Very accurate.
thanks for existing LOL .... teach-Rex hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I feel personally attacked. Got a bag of fun size candy and ate all those little packs of Swedish Fish. By myself. While grading. One day after school.... Yep
Same. But my vice was skittles fun packs
I see myself in this post and I weirdly kind of like it.
That's why you're the professional 😂
Omg this is on 😂
Sour patch kids for me today lol
OMG I feel this
"I cry."
Whoa! You get duty free lunch?? What kind of teacher are you??
Greetings from a teacher in Argentina 👋 Here is also a complete disaster 😞
I was a children’s social worker for the government for two years and began having insomnia the day I had to take a 3 year old boy home after our session, knowing there was glass in the top shelf of a closet he loved to explore and after picking him up with an imprint of a vhs tape on his forehead AND only being able to make a report, and do nothing. It was heart wrenching to be so emotionally involved and not be able to control the broken system.
You’re hilarious 😁
Ah.... grape Mr. Sketch is no lie.
Great jokes, thanks!
Hysterical 😂😂😂
Omg he needs to do this same skit but with a psychologist LOL.
I actually have three of them! lol. They are on my channel.
@@DevinSiebold Oh my goodness somehow I missed those. Gonna go back and find them now! :P
We don't even get lunch breaks at my school.
Looks like a doctor.
Nurses and teachers are the same! Love your channel!
Yes! Thank you!
Lol nurses don't have to have conferences with their patients, their boss, and their parents.
This guy sounds like Owen Wilson
I think I want to be a teacher as my future profession, but seeing these videos, is it really worth all the stress? I'm genuinely wondering.
No. I'm a chemical engineer and I did exams for teaching. I can always go to classrooms if I want. Right now I teach adult high school, just a side job.
No. I tell my own children the same thing.
No. Absolutely not. My children will hear the same advice from me once they begin to choose their path in life.
I've been a teacher for over a decade, and I say: absolutely, yes. If you're passionate about helping others and your community, then yes, you can take on the stresses and strains. But it's worth being aware that it's a lifestyle you're committing to, not a tidy 9 to 5 that you leave behind at the office at the end of the day.
I'm happy to answer further questions if you have them!
Yes, if you have a strong and secure personality. If you are easily pushed around and insecure about the wisdom of your decisions, it may not be the profession for you. I've been teaching for for 20 odd years and love it. I enjoy every day. I share a room with a teacher who is stressed out of her mind daily and is often angry. We teach the same profile of high school student and have the same admin influences on us. I think a great deal of it is just personality.
😂😂😂😂😂
💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Murder podcasts 🤣🤣🤣
I started reading murder mysteries . And I retired early after tearing rotator cuffs in both shoulders. And tore a bicep muscle. 3 surgeries in 2 years. I had to set up and tear down my orchestra classes several times a day for 26 years. Fortunately I had purchased my years that I had worked at a state university so ended up with full retirement . Teaching is not easy.
I’m so glad to hear this about teachers. I hated school too.
Between the risk of sending a child to school and the fact that teachers are hindered from teaching, it makes more and more sense to not send kids to school. Poor teachers are overworked as it is.
This video is inaccurate. I don't have time to see a doctor!
If you cry so much at your job, you should quit your job and find a new career path.
I did!
Teachers are certainly delusional.
