I taught high school a few years ago and heard one of my students call me a “stupid bit*h” under her breath. I said, “that will be a referral for you!” Her mom called me after school. I was fully prepared for her to say that he daughter never said such a thing. Mom was just calling to tell me that her daughter would be at my service after school each day for however long I needed her. She said, “if you need a toilet cleaned in the teachers lounge, make her do it!” Lol!! Some parents are awesome!
Dear Charge-her-phone Mom: Let's ASSUME that you sent baby girl TO school with a fully charged phone. IF it came home uncharged MAYBE it's because baby girl was texting instead of paying attention in class. Just sayin'.
Yep, my going rate is about $2.5 million. 15 years left in teaching plus medical plus pension contributions. That sounds about right. My wife and I need to live after all. 😆
I was waiting my turn to talk to the teacher last year and heard the teacher mention to another mother that the boy's "hinky" haircut was causing him anxiety and the teacher agreed with the boy that it's not appealing. And that the child is bullied because of the hack job the boy's parents had done to his head. I looked at the boy's head and was like "yeah, I'd like to take offense to the teacher insulting this child's hair but damn, it's a hot mess. He got long spots over bald spots, his hairline and neck have done some parts shaved and some patches of random hair, etc. The boy's mother said "well, I can't take him to the barber every time he needs a trim! I did the best I could. You want his hair fixed you take his little ass to the barber then!" To my utter surprise, the teacher said "I'll have Saturday free. Would you like me to pick him up at home? What tine is good for you?" Followed by asking the child if he would be willing to go with him to get his hair cut.
For the past several years, I have been teaching in an alternative education setting for high school students who are behind in credits and are discipline problems. These kids' parents don't ask the crazy stuff - it was the parents at the middle school where I worked for a few years in a high socioeconomic neighborhood! I was teaching honors 8th grade history and 7th grade history. I had a parent call and ask if I could pass her daughter (who had a ZERO in the class along with a few other classes) so she could play soccer because that was all she liked to do. Didn't I know it since that child had not done one assignment the entire semester?!?! All she did was play with her hair and chat with everyone. Needless to say, that girl did not play soccer that year.
I worked at an alternative high school (teacher's side). I did see a couple in my 10 yr stint. Best one, we had a mom who was impossible to reach regarding her son's absence from school which was at 85%. Come near the end of the year, the teacher, myself and the student reach an agreement that if he attends school for 4 weeks with no absences, he can go to the end of the year trip. This trip was fully paid through fundraising and a school board grant. Keep in mind our program was 4 days/ week. This kid comes for 2 weeks straight then boom no where to be seen for a week and half. It is the week before the trip and he comes limping in. He "injured" his foot and he needed the trip form (that his classmates got the day before). My teacher was gone for the day training. Another staff, as she was coming back from the post office on lunch, saw him walking normally down the street until he was on the school grounds, so I knew his story was BS. So I tell him no, I am not giving you the form, you knew what the deal was, and your parent didn't call, you don't have a doctor's note. Next thing the mother, who never returned my or my teacher's call all year is on the phone screaming at me. I say "How lovely to hear your voice not a recording! And I repeat, no call, no doctor's note". She said fine, she will get the doctor to fax a note, just give him the form. I said no note, no form. Wait for an hour, no note. She calls and says the doctor's office is closed, can they just send one Monday. I say funny thing, I called the doctor's office to give them our fax number, they seemed very open. She slams the phone. Several minutes later our principal calls (we were a multi-campus school). I discuss everything and he is aware of the student's 85% absenteeism, he agrees with my decision. Later we find out she called the school board.
@@lucy-louthebeagle4511 Absolutely! Our teachers go to one at least twice a month....I invite my parents in to observe all the time. A mom and grandma stopped by, saw their little 7th grader along with 20 others losing their mind...(and I have good classroom management skills) They understood their child's behavior concerns and kept apologizing for their kid and the 20 other ones. This is the second to the worst year for me.
If the parent who asked for the exorcism was SERIOUS, and not just joking with the teacher, I would be very worried about that child. Not because of the alleged satanic possession, but because "my child is demonically possessed" has been used as an excuse for extremely serious child abuse. I mean, like LIFE THREATENING child abuse.
My school in Queensland, Australia, has a very clear stipulation in our "Responsible Use of Technology" policy that states, extremely clearly, STUDENTS MAY NOT CHARGE THEIR PHONES USING SCHOOL POWER
I teach 5th grade. My students know that their phones stay in their back packs and I better not hear them or they get to live in my desk for the rest of the day. OFF. Not charging.
My 6th graders think that having their phones on silent is OFF. We went around about it last time there was a statewide alert that went out on the phones. They insisted the alert would sound even if their phones were off, but I'm guessing their phones are never actually OFF. @@mallisaunders4565
The teacher who addresses us on you tube is hilarious. I agree whole heartedly with her comments. I was fed up with pur public school system, so I decided to home school all three of my sons. One day my son decided that he did not want to get out of bed for school, so I told him to get out of bed or I would drag him out into the dining room in his underwear. He was eleven and copping an attitude, he dared me to do it,so I pulled off the covers and dragged him by the arm into the dining room for schooling. Needless to say he never challenged me again. He had to sit all day in his underwear and do all of his schooling. I am now proud to say my son is 39yrs old,well adjusted, and has a very good job. Moral of this story, never challenge mamma bear because mamma bear always wins. We still to this day talk about it and share a good laugh together.
My son told me, “I’m not getting dressed for school, and you can’t make me!” I snatched up his clothes, marched him to the van, and threw him and his clothes into the back seat. “You can get dressed on the way to school, or wait and change there. I really don’t care which,” I said. “I’d look really stupid going into school in my pajamas,” he yelled. I agreed and got into my seat. He was dressed by the time we got to the first light, and never tried that again.
When my oldest brother was in high school, he refused to wake up to get ready for school. My Dad told him he had the count of 3 and if he didn't get up by three, he was going to poor ice water all over him in bed. My brother didn't listen, Dad said, "THREE!" and ice water was thrown on him. He got up right quick and got ready for school. He didn't do that again. My dad has never bluffed.
I work with Infants and Toddlers and I had a parent bring her daughter in dressed in a new white down jacket in the middle of snow thaw. She asked me not to let her daughter get it dirty. I reminded the mother that it was her responsibility to bring her child in clothing that her child could play in without the fear of messy play, and asked if she had brought and alternative outdoor gear. She said no, but said that she would return with some. I called her twice, and neither time she answered, so her daughter went outside in the white jacket. And by the end of the day, you guessed it! It wasn't white anymore and basically was ruined. The mother demanded that I replace it or reimburse her the $200 she spent on the jacket. I told her I wouldn't, pulled out my policy book and reminded her of the signed document acknowledging her responsibility to provide appropriate outdoor gear, and my lack of liability. She shut up quick after that, and her child never wore anything white to daycare ever again!
Why, why would you send your child to school( especially at such a young age) in white,!?!? I don't even like wearing white because I know h I w messy I can be.
I love your videos!! As a FINALLY retired elementary school secretary, I can totally relate. I wish I had a dollar for every “I-can’t-believe-you-just-asked-me- that” question……could’ve retired long before now!!🤣 So many times I had to work really hard at keeping a straight face & then I’d crack up as soon as the conversation was over!! I wish I had written them all down…..would’ve made a hilarious book!!😂😂😂
As a card carrying member of the homeschool community…we do not claim the parent from that first story. 🙄😒 That’s not how that works. My sister is a teacher and I love these stories. Then I send them to her so she knows that it’s not just her. 😂 Keep the never ending song truckin’! Silly humans never disappoint.
I had a parent tell me not to talk about due dates for the assignments with their child because it's not good for their mental health. Face palm! How do you expect me to grade anything???
My mother a second grade teacher for many years, many years retired a few years past her eligibility date because she loved her job. I asked her why she chose to go at that point. She said, “It’s time to go when a second grader has figured out the teacher has no authority left over them.”
I don't understand that. I'm the ultimate authority for my kids as their parent (and have had to explain that to a few teachers and staff over the years) but I make it clear to my kids that when they're in a classroom, the teacher is the adult and they're to be respectful and do what they're told. I recently had a teacher call me bc my oldest bonus kid was being rude and disobedient. She was nearly in tears when I said "how can we help you make sure this doesn't happen again?" I'll be damned if *my* kids are the problem.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah yeah it definitely changed back in the 90s. That's when they told teachers they shouldn't grade in red pen anymore because it was distressing the kids to see all that red.
OMG. You are just too much 😂! I am not a teacher but a retired Pediatric RN and let me tell you your stories sound very much like the ones we encountered on our hospital floor. Parents seem to think that “being the parent” can be dropped at the entrance to school or hospital. Keep them coming. Love you❤
My brother worked for a children's hospital for 33 years. In that time they had parents drop off the kids and never checked on them. Or when the parents stayed in the hospital apartments for long term patients they would steal the towels and everything else not nailed down. Blew my mind!
I'm a music teacher. I had a parent request to tune their child's guitar. I said, "Sure, child can bring it in, I will tune it." Parents responded, "We don't want to send it to school, can you come over to our house to tune it?"--guess the answer. HARD NO
I was a middle school art teacher. I had a parent ask me to help her daughter make a piece of art for her stepmother for Christmas AND WRAP IT so she didn't have to get involved in "spending money on that skank me ex married" AND SHE SENT EXAMPLES of what she wanted. Um sorry, we actually have lesson plans, learning goals, and bench marks for the art we make. None of them include your awkward family dynamics.
YOU ARE TOOOOO FUNNY WITH THE REBUTTALS!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LAUGHS!!!! SHOUT OUT TO THE PARENTS PROVIDING THIS FREE MATERIAL!! 🤣🤣...dumbasses!
I just found this channel. I was a preschool teacher for 5 years and have worked in daycares and elementary schools for over 17 years. I almost owed my pants listening to this. Soooo true and funny at the same time. We become therapists, nurses , psychologists, “ moms”, caretakers and so much more for other people’s children. It can be a tough and draining job but also very rewarding and luckily many times make us laugh and eye roll simultaneously. Looking forward to watching more from here.
Parent teacher days were me introducing myself as my son’s mother and having his teachers saying that he a wonderful student etc etc, and I am sure as sugar they sent the wrong kid home everyday.
I was teaching a kids program at our zoo during spring break one time. When the parents signed them up they knew that the kids would have actively out in THE ZOO learning about the animals/vet center/horticulture/ etc and doing projects assigned by the keepers etc. One day we were with the elephants and they were supposed to make big like paper mache balls that could be filled with treats for enrichment, as well as helping prep some of the food. After the program ended that day Mom came in livid because her 10 year old "got dirty" and they were leaving to go straight from the zoo to a "fancy lunch".....
That father that said the devil was in his son. That family needs help. The police and or CPS should be contacted. Because people like this can end up killing the “receptacle” if they can’t get the devil out. That is a very dangerous situation for that child to be in. 😱
One is paid by salary from taxes and the other is paid by the hour. Though you didnt get paid much not that long ago. It was $5 an hour across the board
I absolutely cannot, sour patch kid, lololo, the game is afoot,!!!! All I can do is laugh and your facial expressions over the parents’ request just make it so much funnier!!!
We know a terrible teacher/parent who couldn’t understand why her child was suspended from school for throwing a chair at his teacher. Her reasoning was that he missed.
Some people would think we made that up but sadly know. Ps, my husband is a retired teacher. Thanks Dawn Lizakowski for showing the world even a teacher can suck at parenting
Sometimes other teachers are the worst parents. I'm a music teacher, and one parent, who was also a music teacher, was constantly mad at me for expecting her son to practice his instrument. The kid could barely play anything, but if he got less than a B in my class, she'd blame the practice part of the grade for it. @@56karenandjim
@@56karenandjim That happened to my daughter also about 10 years ago. I think the child eventually got expelled. Not all kids were little brats. Some had very sad stories, one poor child was being raised by his aunt. That child committed suicide only a few years after she taught him. He was not even 10 years old.
At Back to School Night, I had a parent tell me to give him my lesson plans two weeks in advance so he could approve them. I actually laughed until I realized he was serious. I told him, no sir, my administrators approve my plans and the state standards are public online. He was appalled and incensed that I told him no. He said he’d go to the district office. I gave him the Superintendent’s name and contact information and wished him a good evening. Never heard from him again and his daughter was a dream in class. Jerk.
My school announced that parents could come in just before the start of school to review the curriculum and "approve ' the materials the teachers would use the whole year. No materials were to be used unless approved by the district.. and parents. Apparently they dropped that idea.. wonder why?!
A parent asked what time staff were at school. We asked why. She wanted to drop her child off early so they could go start food prep at their family restaurant early. When we told them no they tried to say it was so easy just give them an iPad and we wouldn't know they were there. They were again told no. Fast forward a week later and I heard crying outside the door. They left their kindergarten and third grade children alone, outside, in a rough neighborhood (check the playground for needles each morning), in the dark, at 7am!! Outdoor supervisors don't go out until 8:15am, school starts at 8:30am! I had actually gotten to work early that day. When confronted by the admin the parent's logic was she saw a cars in the parking lot so someone would have let them in. It was the custodian's car, who was busy with the loud floor cleaner, and mine who thankfully went to the classroom first.
To leave children that young in those circumstances is criminal. When I was in high school I'd get there really early because my dad would drop me off on his way to work. Otherwise, I'd have to walk. But that was HIGH SCHOOL!! The teacher responsible for the school canteen noticed me one day and gave me a job refilling the vending machines. I can still hear the sound of the soda cans rattling through the machine as I dropped them in the chutes.
@@blugreen123 the school social worker was notified and something must have happened. The kids weren't in school the next day. Then they were dropped off and picked by an elderly auntie who didn't speak English. Neither of the parents came to any events or parent teacher nights while I was at the school.
I don't understand....if they're so easy with an iPad, then why not put them in the restaurant dining room with an ipad and drop them off when school opens? Good lord some people shouldn't have kids.
We call CPS and police when parents do this at my school. Parents only make the mistake once. We also have big signs on school exterior staying, "Children are only supervised start time to finish time." The sign states the exact times
You are hilarious. I’m retired from being a kindergarten teacher. You have hit the nail on the head with your comedy. Laughing so hard. Keep it up please!
Last year I had a family who lived in the house behind mine. The parent messaged me asking if I could drive their kids home that week and watch them until the grandparents would be home.
One teacher I knew had a parent come up to the school with cake mix and wanted her to make cupcakes at school for her child's birthday. The grandmother got the mix from the teacher and was embarrassed about her daughter's request. We nicknamed the teacher Betty Crocker. Lol
These are some of my favorite videos. Last year, I had a parent ask me to tell her everything her child ate for lunch because she wanted to know if he was easing enough. I told her the best way she could do that was to pack his lunch every day then she could see what was left over when he got home. Well, she never packed his lunch and I never told her what or how much he ate every day. 😂 🤷🏾♀️
I had a student steal paint from my room, two brand new bottles. There is video of the child throwing it away at lunch. Called Mom, was told that her child would ever do such a thing. Lady! There is video of your child throwing it away! Total denial!
I had a parent ask me to teach her 15-year-old son how to count money. She even demanded it be put into his IEP. The student was functioning at grade level in Algebra 1 and Geometry. I set up a tutoring session and my first question to him was how he paid for things at the store. The student responded his parents will not let him have any money. 15 years old, and the student has never held money. This parent also asked the OT to teach him how to cut his meat because she was tired of doing it for him at dinner.
This was so funny!!! I’ve got one from a long time ago. I’m a homeschool mom and one day a public school kid (neighbor), carrying her algebra book, let me know she was there for free tutoring since I was a teacher that was home all the time. She was serious. Umm sweetie pie. I teach my own 4 children, who are in 4 different grade levels at the same time for hours a day, and also cook dinner after it’s all over. I don’t have the time or the patience, especially if you’re not going to pay me. 😅
If a teacher had EVER had to call home about me I wouldn’t have been able to sit for a week That’s how the world actually worked in the 70s & 80s. Instead of spinning off its wheels the last 2 decades!!
I think sometimes they have just lost their minds. Too many people are selfish and think only about themselves and their child. They forget about the teacher and the other students in classroom with their child.
My mom taught high school math. Honors Algebra 1 and Geometry to 9th graders. She had a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force ask her to help his son increase his grades and work with him before and after school. (He was doing no work.) She looked at him and said with a straight face, “What do you expect me to do? Spoon feed him.” The parent had nothing to say to that.
Now that was one spoiled Air Force brat if I ever heard one: life being handed on a silver platter. I would have expected more toughness from the Lt. Col. on his discipline of the boy at home though.
Today I had a parent that wanted to know why her son's coat was dirty. As if I was suppose to do something about it. If he is going to put it on the floor it seems like the problem is between her and her son, not me.
& now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head. Thanks! 😂 & yes, i remember enough of it to be annoying. I sang it to my bf one day recently. 😂 i dont remember why.
At my school we have to hand in our phones at the first lesson, we get only them back at the end of the day or if we need to make an emergency call home. There is also a school rule that no chargers are to be plugged in at school
I teach college. you would think we don't have to deal with parents. I had a parent come to school and say that her daughter took a quiz and didn't make a 100 on it. This was an autograded quiz in our Learning Mangagement System. She demanded I reset the quiz for her now that her daughter knows the correct answers because the quiz gave her the correct answers once she took the quiz. The mother was irate that I couldn't discuss her child's grade with her because there was no FERPA release. I had to threaten to have campus police escort her off campus before she walked out of the classroom.
Secondary school, had two twins (think 'the shining'), they were 11 and the parent called in furious that I wouldn't stop my class, take them to the toilet, and wipe afterwards... uh no mam..... that's a crime......
Oh my days! You have had me in stitches laughing, I never heard so many hilarious requests from parents to teachers. For real ??? Like, imma subscribe now so I can hear some more of your hilarity as a teacher. By the way, you're a great teacher, but you also have great comedic timing!😊
Gurl, if there are saints out here, it's the public dealing with the pUbLiC (esp. with them kiddos.) You might have the double halo these days, teacher folk. ❤😂
My son’s teacher called me one day to say he was not putting any effort in and told her he wished he had not taken the sociology option. I said well ‘ that’s tough titty for him and assured her she would see a change. Son comes home and I told him to change his ways or his guitar would be put in the loft. That put fear into him and he actually got an A. His teacher said my response was so refreshing as she dreaded these calls as usually parent would be defensive. Let’s back our wonderful teachers.
I called a teacher to discuss my son's performance in (middle school) class. When I called I could hear the tension in her voice. She briefly filled me in, and when I asked her what we could do together to address the problems he was having I could literally hear the tension just drain out of her voice. We worked together and got through the rest of that year. Ultimately I, with the help of a doctor, figured out he has ADD without the hyperactivity component. It took a lot of work and effort and more than a few tears but he graduated university, has a good career, and a family of his own. So although I don't remember her name, if Daryl was in your class in the mid 90's in GB middle school, he turned out OK. Thanks for caring.
Some school are stopping children from using the electricity by charging their phones and other devices, school are on budget, utilities are a big on after personal. Should be concerned about the parents that thinks his children is possessed.
I just stumbled across your channel by accident. I freakin’ love it. You have made my day! Haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Sad to say, but it’s probably all true.
Your Channel was recommended in me feed. I really think it is funny. My kids are grown, I would have never thought to ask their teachers to do anything like you described.
I understand that these are real requests from parents but these parents must not understand what a teacher really does. Did they never go to school themselves? When I went to school, years ago, our parents agreed with the teachers and we had to respect our teachers or our backside got paddled from the teacher and then the parent.
I taught high school a few years ago and heard one of my students call me a “stupid bit*h” under her breath. I said, “that will be a referral for you!” Her mom called me after school.

When I worked at a Montessori school, a student called me an idiot in Japanese, hoping I didn't know what that meant
That mom was on the ball!!!
If all parents would back teachers up like this, the world would be a better place!
That mum is iconic and I'm in love with her 🤭🤭
My son knows I'd have him scrubbing floors for the red cross in Mexico City by morning if he ever said anything like that to a teacher.
There needs to be a show where parents go undercover as subs for a week at their child’s school just to see what teachers really go through.
Duuuude I'd so watch that. But.... due to privacy stuff and there being so many creeps now I don't think anyone would greenlight it >>
I don’t think any of them would make it one day 😄

What it means is the child isn't off their phone long enough to charge it
When kids ask if they could pay for a grade, I always say it has to be enough for me to live on if I get fired.
Yep, my going rate is about $2.5 million. 15 years left in teaching plus medical plus pension contributions. That sounds about right. My wife and I need to live after all. 😆

That response made me laugh out loud! Good answer!

To my utter surprise, the teacher said "I'll have Saturday free. Would you like me to pick him up at home? What tine is good for you?" Followed by asking the child if he would be willing to go with him to get his hair cut.

That's awesome! We should implement that rule in all schools!
I teach 5th grade. My students know that their phones stay in their back packs and I better not hear them or they get to live in my desk for the rest of the day. OFF. Not charging.
You missed the loophole, in this case it would be the TEACHER charging the phone. Perfectly reasonable. 😂
My 6th graders think that having their phones on silent is OFF. We went around about it last time there was a statewide alert that went out on the phones. They insisted the alert would sound even if their phones were off, but I'm guessing their phones are never actually OFF. @@mallisaunders4565

Whispered: "Do you hear how crazy you sound?" That cracked me up!!!
😂
The scary thing is that they DON’T hear how crazy they sound.
The teacher who addresses us on you tube is hilarious. I agree whole heartedly with her comments. I was fed up with pur public school system, so I decided to home school all three of my sons. One day my son decided that he did not want to get out of bed for school, so I told him to get out of bed or I would drag him out into the dining room in his underwear. He was eleven and copping an attitude, he dared me to do it,so I pulled off the covers and dragged him by the arm into the dining room for schooling. Needless to say he never challenged me again. He had to sit all day in his underwear and do all of his schooling. I am now proud to say my son is 39yrs old,well adjusted, and has a very good job. Moral of this story, never challenge mamma bear because mamma bear always wins. We still to this day talk about it and share a good laugh together.
My son told me, “I’m not getting dressed for school, and you can’t make me!”
I snatched up his clothes, marched him to the van, and threw him and his clothes into the back seat. “You can get dressed on the way to school, or wait and change there. I really don’t care which,” I said.
“I’d look really stupid going into school in my pajamas,” he yelled. I agreed and got into my seat. He was dressed by the time we got to the first light, and never tried that again.
When my oldest brother was in high school, he refused to wake up to get ready for school. My Dad told him he had the count of 3 and if he didn't get up by three, he was going to poor ice water all over him in bed. My brother didn't listen, Dad said, "THREE!" and ice water was thrown on him. He got up right quick and got ready for school. He didn't do that again. My dad has never bluffed.
The spawned demon of the Sour Patch!🤣
I work with Infants and Toddlers and I had a parent bring her daughter in dressed in a new white down jacket in the middle of snow thaw. She asked me not to let her daughter get it dirty. I reminded the mother that it was her responsibility to bring her child in clothing that her child could play in without the fear of messy play, and asked if she had brought and alternative outdoor gear. She said no, but said that she would return with some. I called her twice, and neither time she answered, so her daughter went outside in the white jacket. And by the end of the day, you guessed it! It wasn't white anymore and basically was ruined. The mother demanded that I replace it or reimburse her the $200 she spent on the jacket. I told her I wouldn't, pulled out my policy book and reminded her of the signed document acknowledging her responsibility to provide appropriate outdoor gear, and my lack of liability. She shut up quick after that, and her child never wore anything white to daycare ever again!
🙄🙄🙄🙄 …….. and $200 for a child’s coat they’re going to outgrow in a season?!?!?
@@ellen-marie6692 - I know!
Geez, sounds like my cousin.
Why, why would you send your child to school( especially at such a young age) in white,!?!? I don't even like wearing white because I know h I w messy I can be.
At that age, the TEACHERS don’t wear white!
When you meet the parent, you understand the kids!
“Excuse me, can you exorcise my child? Thanks.” 😂
Exercise? Yes ma'am they have PE on Tues and Thurs
I love your videos!! As a FINALLY retired elementary school secretary, I can totally relate. I wish I had a dollar for every “I-can’t-believe-you-just-asked-me- that” question……could’ve retired long before now!!🤣 So many times I had to work really hard at keeping a straight face & then I’d crack up as soon as the conversation was over!! I wish I had written them all down…..would’ve made a hilarious book!!😂😂😂
As a card carrying member of the homeschool community…we do not claim the parent from that first story. 🙄😒
That’s not how that works.
My sister is a teacher and I love these stories. Then I send them to her so she knows that it’s not just her. 😂
Keep the never ending song truckin’!
Silly humans never disappoint.
I know a number of die hard homeschoolers, and they would be APPALLED at that request!
I also send these to my sister, who is a teacher, so she knows she's not alone in the craziness.
I had a parent tell me not to talk about due dates for the assignments with their child because it's not good for their mental health. Face palm! How do you expect me to grade anything???
That patent will be showing up to their interviews and college classes
And doing the real job that has a deadline
My mother a second grade teacher for many years, many years retired a few years past her eligibility date because she loved her job. I asked her why she chose to go at that point. She said, “It’s time to go when a second grader has figured out the teacher has no authority left over them.”
Same here, Debra, same here, only with 4th graders.
So true.
I don't understand that. I'm the ultimate authority for my kids as their parent (and have had to explain that to a few teachers and staff over the years) but I make it clear to my kids that when they're in a classroom, the teacher is the adult and they're to be respectful and do what they're told.
I recently had a teacher call me bc my oldest bonus kid was being rude and disobedient. She was nearly in tears when I said "how can we help you make sure this doesn't happen again?"
I'll be damned if *my* kids are the problem.
That’s y my dad retired in 1998
NOW???
No, that happened over 25 yrs ago!!!!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah yeah it definitely changed back in the 90s. That's when they told teachers they shouldn't grade in red pen anymore because it was distressing the kids to see all that red.
OMG. You are just too much 😂! I am not a teacher but a retired Pediatric RN and let me tell you your stories sound very much like the ones we encountered on our hospital floor. Parents seem to think that “being the parent” can be dropped at the entrance to school or hospital. Keep them coming. Love you❤
My brother worked for a children's hospital for 33 years. In that time they had parents drop off the kids and never checked on them. Or when the parents stayed in the hospital apartments for long term patients they would steal the towels and everything else not nailed down. Blew my mind!
I'm a music teacher. I had a parent request to tune their child's guitar. I said, "Sure, child can bring it in, I will tune it." Parents responded, "We don't want to send it to school, can you come over to our house to tune it?"--guess the answer. HARD NO
I truly enjoy the way you deal with the frustrations of teaching with such humor.
I was a middle school art teacher. I had a parent ask me to help her daughter make a piece of art for her stepmother for Christmas AND WRAP IT so she didn't have to get involved in "spending money on that skank me ex married" AND SHE SENT EXAMPLES of what she wanted. Um sorry, we actually have lesson plans, learning goals, and bench marks for the art we make. None of them include your awkward family dynamics.
YOU ARE TOOOOO FUNNY WITH THE REBUTTALS!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LAUGHS!!!!
SHOUT OUT TO THE PARENTS PROVIDING THIS FREE MATERIAL!! 🤣🤣...dumbasses!
I just found this channel.
I was a preschool teacher for 5 years and have worked in daycares and elementary schools for over 17 years.
I almost owed my pants listening to this.
Soooo true and funny at the same time.
We become therapists, nurses , psychologists, “ moms”, caretakers and so much more for other people’s children.
It can be a tough and draining job but also very rewarding and luckily many times make us laugh and eye roll simultaneously.
Looking forward to watching more from here.
That child most likely swallowed his tooth 🤦 mom can find it in a couple days 😱 thanks 😊 you are so damn funny 😂
Your reactions are PRICELESS
Parent teacher days were me introducing myself as my son’s mother and having his teachers saying that he a wonderful student etc etc, and I am sure as sugar they sent the wrong kid home everyday.
: )
I used to hear the same thing. Oh, well, at least he knew how to act in public. . .
😂😂😂😂
This lady's reactions and comments are brilliant 😹😹
I was teaching a kids program at our zoo during spring break one time. When the parents signed them up they knew that the kids would have actively out in THE ZOO learning about the animals/vet center/horticulture/ etc and doing projects assigned by the keepers etc. One day we were with the elephants and they were supposed to make big like paper mache balls that could be filled with treats for enrichment, as well as helping prep some of the food. After the program ended that day Mom came in livid because her 10 year old "got dirty" and they were leaving to go straight from the zoo to a "fancy lunch".....
“If you’re mad you can put on a cap and be super mad.” Has me dying over here.
That father that said the devil was in his son. That family needs help. The police and or CPS should be contacted. Because people like this can end up killing the “receptacle” if they can’t get the devil out. That is a very dangerous situation for that child to be in. 😱
It's very good you have a sense of humor about all of these ridiculous requests. It will save your mental health.
I’m not a teacher and I could never see myself asking ANYONE to do the things these people ask! So many adults are lacking in just plain common sense!
Stupidly and entitlement is just not a good combination!
Nope, babysitters get paid more than teachers.
Would LOVE to have been paid babysitter rates for my 32 students!
Honestly facts though cuz they get paid by the hour and babysitters charge a lot like my friends in high school charged 10 bucks an hour
I can charge $20/hour per kid for babysitting. But teachers barely get $20/hour for 20-30 students.
I quit teaching and started being a nanny I make 4 tines as much as teaching and less kids, no paper work, no crazy coworkers.
One is paid by salary from taxes and the other is paid by the hour. Though you didnt get paid much not that long ago. It was $5 an hour across the board
I absolutely cannot, sour patch kid, lololo, the game is afoot,!!!! All I can do is laugh and your facial expressions over the parents’ request just make it so much funnier!!!
I love the one about the child's hairstyle!! Priceless.😀😀
Oh my, I am laughing so hard! Where the heck did these parents come from? What pecan tree did they fall out of? Now I know why kids act like they do.
Don't mean coconut tree😅😅😅
We know a terrible teacher/parent who couldn’t understand why her child was suspended from school for throwing a chair at his teacher. Her reasoning was that he missed.
Some people would think we made that up but sadly know. Ps, my husband is a retired teacher. Thanks Dawn Lizakowski for showing the world even a teacher can suck at parenting
No
Sometimes other teachers are the worst parents. I'm a music teacher, and one parent, who was also a music teacher, was constantly mad at me for expecting her son to practice his instrument. The kid could barely play anything, but if he got less than a B in my class, she'd blame the practice part of the grade for it. @@56karenandjim
She just didn’t want the child at home. Many parents use schools to escape their kids and only has a problem when they have to be home
@@56karenandjim That happened to my daughter also about 10 years ago. I think the child eventually got expelled. Not all kids were little brats. Some had very sad stories, one poor child was being raised by his aunt. That child committed suicide only a few years after she taught him. He was not even 10 years old.
Absolutely hilarious! I’m laughing so hard that my ribs are hurting!😂😂😂😂😂
At Back to School Night, I had a parent tell me to give him my lesson plans two weeks in advance so he could approve them. I actually laughed until I realized he was serious. I told him, no sir, my administrators approve my plans and the state standards are public online. He was appalled and incensed that I told him no. He said he’d go to the district office. I gave him the Superintendent’s name and contact information and wished him a good evening. Never heard from him again and his daughter was a dream in class. Jerk.
My school announced that parents could come in just before the start of school to review the curriculum and "approve ' the materials the teachers would use the whole year. No materials were to be used unless approved by the district.. and parents. Apparently they dropped that idea.. wonder why?!
😳
LOVE this channel! I retired after 29 of teaching and this brings back lots of memories...I loved teaching but I can honestly say I don't miss it!
A parent asked what time staff were at school. We asked why. She wanted to drop her child off early so they could go start food prep at their family restaurant early. When we told them no they tried to say it was so easy just give them an iPad and we wouldn't know they were there. They were again told no.
Fast forward a week later and I heard crying outside the door. They left their kindergarten and third grade children alone, outside, in a rough neighborhood (check the playground for needles each morning), in the dark, at 7am!! Outdoor supervisors don't go out until 8:15am, school starts at 8:30am! I had actually gotten to work early that day.
When confronted by the admin the parent's logic was she saw a cars in the parking lot so someone would have let them in. It was the custodian's car, who was busy with the loud floor cleaner, and mine who thankfully went to the classroom first.
I hope someone called CPS. 😬
To leave children that young in those circumstances is criminal. When I was in high school I'd get there really early because my dad would drop me off on his way to work. Otherwise, I'd have to walk. But that was HIGH SCHOOL!! The teacher responsible for the school canteen noticed me one day and gave me a job refilling the vending machines. I can still hear the sound of the soda cans rattling through the machine as I dropped them in the chutes.
@@blugreen123 the school social worker was notified and something must have happened. The kids weren't in school the next day. Then they were dropped off and picked by an elderly auntie who didn't speak English. Neither of the parents came to any events or parent teacher nights while I was at the school.
I don't understand....if they're so easy with an iPad, then why not put them in the restaurant dining room with an ipad and drop them off when school opens?
Good lord some people shouldn't have kids.
We call CPS and police when parents do this at my school. Parents only make the mistake once. We also have big signs on school exterior staying, "Children are only supervised start time to finish time." The sign states the exact times
You're hilarious!!! Love all of your videos, but because I drive a bus, you were spot on!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for dealing with the kids and insane parents of this generation. I appreciate you.
You are hilarious. I’m retired from being a kindergarten teacher. You have hit the nail on the head with your comedy. Laughing so hard. Keep it up please!
Last year I had a family who lived in the house behind mine. The parent messaged me asking if I could drive their kids home that week and watch them until the grandparents would be home.
Ha! Ya right
One teacher I knew had a parent come up to the school with cake mix and wanted her to make cupcakes at school for her child's birthday. The grandmother got the mix from the teacher and was embarrassed about her daughter's request. We nicknamed the teacher Betty Crocker. Lol
The gift that keeps on giving! 😂😂😂 Girl, you are hilarious! Love your videos!❤️
I love the way you represent these crazy parents. That’s why children today have no boundaries.
These are some of my favorite videos. Last year, I had a parent ask me to tell her everything her child ate for lunch because she wanted to know if he was easing enough. I told her the best way she could do that was to pack his lunch every day then she could see what was left over when he got home. Well, she never packed his lunch and I never told her what or how much he ate every day. 😂 🤷🏾♀️
I had a student steal paint from my room, two brand new bottles. There is video of the child throwing it away at lunch. Called Mom, was told that her child would ever do such a thing. Lady! There is video of your child throwing it away! Total denial!
Not her little angel! Unbelieveable
The laugh I needed after a stressful day. Three days until Christmas break...God save us from the germs.
I had a parent ask me to teach her 15-year-old son how to count money. She even demanded it be put into his IEP. The student was functioning at grade level in Algebra 1 and Geometry. I set up a tutoring session and my first question to him was how he paid for things at the store. The student responded his parents will not let him have any money. 15 years old, and the student has never held money. This parent also asked the OT to teach him how to cut his meat because she was tired of doing it for him at dinner.
Ooh...my spidey senses are tingling and a little angry with this one.
This parent sounds... Off... Like potentially dangerous to the child off.
Yeah.. like more than half the reason the student needs an IEP ...
Here's another definition of helicopter parenting.
This was so funny!!! I’ve got one from a long time ago. I’m a homeschool mom and one day a public school kid (neighbor), carrying her algebra book, let me know she was there for free tutoring since I was a teacher that was home all the time. She was serious. Umm sweetie pie. I teach my own 4 children, who are in 4 different grade levels at the same time for hours a day, and also cook dinner after it’s all over. I don’t have the time or the patience, especially if you’re not going to pay me. 😅
I agree with you...Happy Hour after school. Ha-ha 🤣
SMH at the audacity/entitlement/stupidity of these parents. So glad that you bring it all to us with humor and some compassion.
The phone thing, good lord!!! Some parents act like teachers have nothing else better to do during the day!!!
As a student of the 70"s and 80's somehow I doubt teachers got any requests at all back in my day. What has happened to people since then?? SMH
If a teacher had EVER had to call home about me
I wouldn’t have been able to sit for a week
That’s how the world actually worked in the 70s & 80s. Instead of spinning off its wheels the last 2 decades!!
I think sometimes they have just lost their minds.
Too many people are selfish and think only about themselves and their child. They forget about the teacher and the other students in classroom with their child.
Oh, I bet they did, it was just by phone or in person instead of via text or email.
Your sense of humor is fantastic. The requests are insane, but your responses are soooo good.
My mom taught high school math. Honors Algebra 1 and Geometry to 9th graders. She had a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force ask her to help his son increase his grades and work with him before and after school. (He was doing no work.) She looked at him and said with a straight face, “What do you expect me to do? Spoon feed him.” The parent had nothing to say to that.
Now that was one spoiled Air Force brat if I ever heard one: life being handed on a silver platter. I would have expected more toughness from the Lt. Col. on his discipline of the boy at home though.
"I don't do public math!" You crack me up!
However, as a retired physics and math teacher, I have done nothing but public math for decades. 😆
😆😆 I wish I was intelligent enough to do public math. Heck, I get booted out the grocery line trying to count the exact change lol
Me too.
That one about asking the teacher to come and wake the child up for school had me rolling- seriously??!! What in the actual thpppt??
Your videos are by far the funniest videos on utube. Thank you so much for brightening my day. Keep them coming.
The Snark did not disappoint!! 🍿🤣🤣 I love these! And yes, they'll never end. 😅
Today I had a parent that wanted to know why her son's coat was dirty. As if I was suppose to do something about it. If he is going to put it on the floor it seems like the problem is between her and her son, not me.
🤣🤣🤣
The patience of these teachers amazes me.
I am dying. Just the look on your face after reading some of these says it all.
& now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head. Thanks! 😂 & yes, i remember enough of it to be annoying. I sang it to my bf one day recently. 😂 i dont remember why.
Hey girl, so happy to see you!! I am ready for another SMH session!!
I LOVE watching your program. You are awesome!!!!
"The game is afoot!" 💀😆
At my school we have to hand in our phones at the first lesson, we get only them back at the end of the day or if we need to make an emergency call home. There is also a school rule that no chargers are to be plugged in at school
I teach college. you would think we don't have to deal with parents. I had a parent come to school and say that her daughter took a quiz and didn't make a 100 on it. This was an autograded quiz in our Learning Mangagement System. She demanded I reset the quiz for her now that her daughter knows the correct answers because the quiz gave her the correct answers once she took the quiz. The mother was irate that I couldn't discuss her child's grade with her because there was no FERPA release. I had to threaten to have campus police escort her off campus before she walked out of the classroom.
I just love your channel and it couldn't be more timely that our school year has just began😂 and prayers for you angel😇🙏❤
Secondary school, had two twins (think 'the shining'), they were 11 and the parent called in furious that I wouldn't stop my class, take them to the toilet, and wipe afterwards... uh no mam..... that's a crime......
😮
Oh my days! You have had me in stitches laughing, I never heard so many hilarious requests from parents to teachers. For real ??? Like, imma subscribe now so I can hear some more of your hilarity as a teacher. By the way, you're a great teacher, but you also have great comedic timing!😊
Gurl, if there are saints out here, it's the public dealing with the pUbLiC (esp. with them kiddos.) You might have the double halo these days, teacher folk. ❤😂
My son’s teacher called me one day to say he was not putting any effort in and told her he wished he had not taken the sociology option. I said well ‘ that’s tough titty for him and assured her she would see a change. Son comes home and I told him to change his ways or his guitar would be put in the loft. That put fear into him and he actually got an A. His teacher said my response was so refreshing as she dreaded these calls as usually parent would be defensive. Let’s back our wonderful teachers.
I called a teacher to discuss my son's performance in (middle school) class. When I called I could hear the tension in her voice. She briefly filled me in, and when I asked her what we could do together to address the problems he was having I could literally hear the tension just drain out of her voice. We worked together and got through the rest of that year. Ultimately I, with the help of a doctor, figured out he has ADD without the hyperactivity component. It took a lot of work and effort and more than a few tears but he graduated university, has a good career, and a family of his own. So although I don't remember her name, if Daryl was in your class in the mid 90's in GB middle school, he turned out OK. Thanks for caring.
Some school are stopping children from using the electricity by charging their phones and other devices, school are on budget, utilities are a big on after personal. Should be concerned about the parents that thinks his children is possessed.
I really, REALLY hope that the teacher who had the patent say the child had the devil in them made a report about that to CPS.
I just stumbled across your channel by accident. I freakin’ love it. You have made my day! Haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Sad to say, but it’s probably all true.
The amount of videos in this 12 part series where parents ask teachers to check the kids vomit or poop is INSANE!!!!
Never mind that you’re not supposed to send your child to school with diarrhea or vomiting…
This is my 8th épisode in a row... you are so adorable and am too awe stricken about these parents.
And these people, have voting rights!!
Thank you for sharing your anecdotes. I work with the public and it amazes me what people will ask me to resolve.
This s**** is ridiculous. Looking forward to seeing the show in May!
Your Channel was recommended in me feed. I really think it is funny. My kids are grown, I would have never thought to ask their teachers to do anything like you described.
Your delivery of these crazy requests are absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for all you do!!!❤
What are these parents on?! Omg!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂😂🤬😂😂😂
I understand that these are real requests from parents but these parents must not understand what a teacher really does. Did they never go to school themselves? When I went to school, years ago, our parents agreed with the teachers and we had to respect our teachers or our backside got paddled from the teacher and then the parent.
3:53 “I’m not dealin’ wit lil Lucifa” got me rolling 😂
God bless you and all teachers.
Bottom line, I love this channel!
