It drove me nuts when a student acted up, was taken out, never had to complete their work, played an activity in the office, and then comes back with candy and a toy. And the rest of my students who are working hard to try and do the right thing see that and get discouraged. It angered me to my core!
Yes!!!! Plus reward strengthens the preceding behavior which in this case was naughty. Better to have a buddy system with another teacher who will make the naughty kid bored to death or worked to death lol
the standoffs I had with admin over this issue! He's leaving or I'm leaving full stop.
I'd just like to signpost you towards neurodiversity challenges in the classroom -
What!?
This happens somewhat where I work.
Teachers deserve a raise!! I have a 15-year-old daughter, and she will get in the car and tell me she had a test she didn't know about that day. I am like...🤔🤨.
For real. At least double their salary!
when my daughter tried that I asked to see her calendar and sure enough it was on there. So I said it wasn't that you didn't know, you chose to ignore it.
@@shannonbrice8012 Thank you, mama! We need more parents like you!
They deserve more than a raise, they need to be like politicians, they get paid (generously) for life after they retire.
It baffles me and doesn’t baffle me. I was that student who was always shocked about a test or homework. Now that I’m a teacher I repeat and write and repeat and write a million times and I’ll still have a student say “I had no idea” 😅😂 and that time the notice has been on the board in red the whole week. I repeated it everyday the whole week and sent emails out 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣. I just think it’s funny cause I totally understand, Iv been a kid once too😅😂🤣
As a teacher for forty-three years (yes, I lived to tell about it, and my sanity is still intact), I can verify everything in this video because EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT happened in my classroom at one time or another - many multiple times.
I am on year 15 and feel ancient at this point lol. Bless you and your service to our babies!
Aaaaammmmmmeeeen! Aaaaammmmmeeeen! Preach!
The animal noises? Wow.
As a student who's left school thirty-four years ago, I can verify EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT happened in our classroom at one time or another - many multiple times. We were some dumb kids. Obviously NOTHING has changed. ♫
42 year veteran teacher here. AMEN
I love this teacher! Watching her videos is more helpful than going to therapy....which I can't afford to pay for anyway.
I laughed way too hard at this. Because I live this.😂
Right, I love watching these videos. Bored teachers>therapy
Ikr she makes my day I start laughing in the am and laugh all day
She’s spot on! ❤️
I went to therapy and she is still the best! Everything pictured here is SO freaking true plus!
I am a second grade teacher. I can absolutely relate to this. Specifically, the frustration of no names on papers, the not bringing a pencil to school, the weird noises students make while I am teaching and the “I didn’t do it” claims.
Teachers deserve a raise!
I tell my students that I will take 2 points off their grade if there is no last name on their paper. (Some asked me if they can get extra credit for middle name 🤔🙄).
@@dorotaneff8796 I have with some classes given an extra point each for name, date and class period. It actually did prompt some students to work on remembering to make sure the required information was on their papers, at least for my class.
I don't really like the idea of getting mad at kids for not writing theirs names down.
They obviously don't look at the 'Name:' and then just laugh and decide they want to annoy you. They forgot, like a human. I see teachers forget things way more often than the students.
@@broskify What do teachers forget?
@@broskify
In my experience it's the same kids that forget to write their names over and over again then the same ones will tell you that they turned it in and wonder why they didn't get a grade. Then of course accuse the teacher of losing it.
I had the pencil/pen issue until I did two things. When asked for a writing utensil ask for a trade. “You want a pen? Sure, I’ll take your phone until you return the pen.” Likewise, if you buy a small box of golf pencils and hand out only them (and still require a trade for the receipt of a pencil), kids soon start bringing their own; they hate those small pencils.
I’m no longer a teacher (retired after 32 years), but I LOVE these videos because they remind me what every day used to look like. Thankfully, every day is now Saturday!
Keep the faith and continue the fight; it truly DOES matter. 🙏☕️🍷
I can't sleep with the ceiling fan on because it sounds like a student tapping a pencil. Woke myself up yelling at a student for tapping in my dream from the fan noise! SMH!
😂🤣I am an elementary school teacher. Whenever the bell rings I have students that make that sound. Drives me nuts.
That is FUNNY!!
😂😂
I love this lady! She is too funny!😂 I can tell that she is an awesome teacher and I bet it’s so much fun being in her class as long as you behave.😂
You nailed all of them. I’m smiling while simultaneously eye rolling. Thanks for the laugh. ❤️
I'm a college professor, and I still have some of these issues.
Ditto for me!
No name on the tests is one of them. And I saw a classmate came to a test without a pen 🤣🤦♀️
@@dayanacba I gave up on reminding them about pencils for the exam. I just keep extra pencils and erasers on hand. 😆
I don't see how you guys do it. So many times I've walked into a classroom(I'm a custodian), and I've had teachers tell me all of these crazy stories. I admire you guys and gals.
Don't think teachers don't appreciate both the listening ear and the clean working environment.
@@k.c1126 That really means a lot to me. seriously, thank you! :)
O.M.G. - I love the "...this is not a drum line..." I say that repeatedly......I finally gave out foam stress balls for their nervous energy. It worked!
Love your channel!
All so true. I make my kids who forget to put their name on a paper write an apology to whoever named them for forgetting their name. I teach 8th grade so they should know this by now, especially when there is a NAME: line at the top😀📝
I just don't take the work. No name means nobody did it, and since I don't have nobody in my class, I don't have to collect it.
It was the first thing we were taught in grade one, soon as you get an assignment you put your name on it BEFORE looking at that assignment. People in University would still forget to put their names on papers....They have time to put the date, the prof, the class and the title but not their names?
I love the middle school and high school students who say when reminded to put their name on their paper "I do that last", which of course they don't do but hand me a un-named paper as they race out of the classroom because the bell went. I share this with elementary school children and ask them to guess what happens, they say they didn't put their name on their paper. I explain this is why they need to develop this habit while they are young.
funfair. Other favorite is getting paper with "your name" on it. I do a whole little song and dance about where I write "your name" on the displayed sample project. Is Billy going to write N- A-M-E? No he will write B-I-L.... and still some write name. SMH
My son volunteered with me at summer school. Told his dad he didn't want to be a teacher because I work too hard and don't make enough money.
My daughter volunteered at summer school for at-risk kids and decided she does want to be a teacher. I'm trying to talk her out of it.
That’s similar to my daughter as a teen, when she was a teen volunteer at the hospital where I was the Charge Nurse. She told me that nurses work all those weird shift hours and most holidays and weekends. By the time I retired, most of my peers children didn’t go in to nursing either.
Summer school stories take you to a different LEVEL! I experience things teaching summer school that others cannot begin to comprehend!
@@22dramamama Let her get a degree and then privately tutor kids with an educational planning course (either via Uni. or other library/free resources.) No need to be hired by a school district to teach kids. She only needs some time to volunteer for at risk kids using the school textbook that provides more benefits and free time in any other career field. Money is what matters in this world, and unless she moves abroad, the U.S isn't looking to pay teachers what they are due.
I would definitely have a list just like this! I would have to add my pet peeve; a student returning from an absence and asking, “Did you do anything when I was gone?” I would reply, “I told all my 180 students, we would all have to wait until you came back to do anything!”
I too told them that we did nothing but waited with bated breath until their return
I say, “ No, we missed you so much we spent the whole time crying.”
The no name on the paper is my favorite... I always tell them that the invisible man is going to get the grade... that invisible man is heading straight into Yale and Harvard on scholarships due to the number of assignments he got As on. 😂
With every passing year, I have simply reached the conclusion that these types of things are all deliberate on the students' parts. They come to school ready NOT to learn, NOT to try, NOT to show respect; the list goes on and on. Students of all ages have plenty of practice each and every day of each and every school year to get their repetitive routine right. I never once believe the whole "it's because they don't know any better" and/or "they're still getting used to things" spiels. Apart from many parents and admin. not enforcing discipline of any kind, when students enter the classroom on a mission to make everybody's lives around them unjustly difficult by pulling these antics that are not cute, funny, or purposeful in the slightest, then teaching becomes not only utterly impossible but also purely pointless. If literally everything a teacher says goes in one ear and out the other of the average student, then really, what. is. the. point?! It's a sinking ship, a derailed train, with everything and everybody going nowhere fast. But if that's how the people at the top want it, then let them and their "true followers" reap what they sow!
Preach!
Its the job of the teacher to love what they do and to inspire and teach with passion. If you don't like your job or love teaching, then your students are going to pick up on that and not care also about what you teach. I remember my daughter loved science, it was the teachers that put her off due to there lack of passion, why my daughter stopped caring about the subject. If you don't like kids or your job, go do something else.
Perhaps you should teach your kids to have respect and intrinsic motivation to learn and excel. You can’t place the responsibility for instilling intellectual curiosity in children upon the teachers. It begins at home with the values you teach your child.
Your child will have nonchalant and bad teachers, but they should maintain their own will to learn because at the end of the day it is their future and they have to take ownership of their education. Learning is not restricted to a particular environment, encourage your kids to be life long learners and to obtain new information everyday on their own, then a teacher’s enthusiasm or lack their of won’t deter them.
The animal noises is the most bizarre thing I’ve experienced as a virtual high school teacher. I’ve been high school teacher in Ontario, Canada for over 12 years, and I’ve been teaching virtually since the pandemic began, and for some reason, students have been randomly turning their mic on when everyone is working silently or at absolutely random times like when I’m explaining an assignment, and saying “meow.” 🙄 I find new trends very interesting and try to learn them myself to stay up to date with what my students find trendy and interesting (I was a high school student in the 90s myself, and there were some great trends, albeit now nostalgic, that I experienced), but I can say for certain that the animal noises need to stop! I don’t know if I would even call it a trend per se, but seriously?!? Stop it with the animal nosies!!
Omg I go to school in Ontario
Yes the trends are interesting because it’s whatever teenagers find funny these days haha
I say it’s a complete and total lack of mental, verbal, and physical impulse control on the students’ parts. Whatever pops into their heads at any given moment, somehow everybody present needs to see, hear, and know about it right at that very moment as if the world is going to end less than one second later. Plus, it’s such students’ stupid ways of intentionally distracting their peers and teachers from the learning going on all in a relentless effort to draw attention to themselves nonsensically.
I’m in college and last year during a lockdown we were doing online classes. It was in a shit lesson, and the teacher sounded like he was depressed. All of a sudden one of the lads starts talking about fifa, and then energy drink sales at his local corner shop. It went on for about three minutes, all while people were typing in the chat on teams, the teacher was going “can you hear me? Name can you hear me? Your language is getting very ripe.” It’s still spoken about to this day, almost a year on.
I've been there as a student granted back in high school it wasn't virtual. Noise (besides music) to this day distract me so I understand.
I'm not a teacher, but I remember a class from my HS days where the teacher pulled me aside and apologized for me being in the class. She wished I could be moved to an earlier class because the one I was in had all the trouble makers. I was one of her smartest and I constantly got irritated like my teacher with all the shenanigans everyone was pulling. Everything from stupid questions (as in she JUST explained the equation and if they hadn't been talking they wouldn't have missed the answer), the group of boys in the back that kept talking or texting, and on and on it went. One day we got a our quiz back and I had a 100, with class average of low C. One of the boys piped up when some asked what I got. The boy called me a teacher pet. Before my teacher could respond I wiped around in my seat and shouted at him "well if ya'll would shut up, maybe you might learn something!" Never heard them talk in class again. Mind you I was the "quiet one". I miss that teacher, she was an awesome trig/ pre cal teacher.
I’m a retired teacher, and now subbing a bit. The kids were telling me that the teacher did not leave them an exam review. I’m thinking to myself, yeah she probably passed it out, passed out extra copies, posted it on Canvas, emailed it to you, and reviewed it fifty times before she left.
My top 5
1. Forgetting your supplies but not your phone
2. Coming to class without anything leaving them in another class
3. Always asking to use the restroom everyday
4. Asking for extra credit but didn’t do what’s required
New for 2021-2022
5. Not wearing your mask or wearing it incorrectly
I am a student and the last one was so true. A lot of my classmates always wore their mask at their chin..Like, if you do not wear a mask correctly, just don’t wear one..
Oh yes! No name on paper = trashcan for my classroom. Need to borrow a pencil- give me something for collateral like your phone 😂. Yup I'm old school
‘Students saying “I didn’t do it.”’ 🙄 I taught special ed in a ‘self-contained ‘ classroom and this STILL happened. Drove me bonkers. Also- miss paper referrals. They were sooo helpful for this.
I had a preschool student try to convince me he didn't write on the wall. Really? Someone else wrote YOUR name on the wall in YOUR handwriting and then put the marker in YOUR hand?
Admin handing out treats or giving privileges rather than consequences. One of the many reasons this year is AWFUL!!!!!!!
Especially when they are sugary treats, i.e. candy. I remember some former teacher colleagues of mine went to a professional development workshop some years back to learn how to improve their classroom management and student discipline on the job, and those teacher colleagues of mine told me and even our admin. that that so-called "professional development workshop" literally told all the teachers present to just give out candy to the students every time they did something right. I was like, "WHAT?! Oh heck no!" Glad I didn't go to that workshop. Most Professional Development Workshops are an absolute joke, just like the people running them and the schools whose ignorant admin. require their teachers to attend them.
I left 3 years ago and thstbsort of stuff was going on. It discouraged my students who were striving to do their work and do the right thing. They would get bullied by that student and that bully got prizes and excepted from doing the work. Angered me.
Heh...I once had a teacher who passed out an assignment which was a list of 20 instructions. #1 was to read everything before doing anything. #2 was to write your name on the paper. The rest indicated other things to write on the paper, which if you did would fill out at least half the sheet, and there was additionally one instruction that said to call out "I have!" if you felt you were following the instructions correctly. Then the #20 instruction said, "Now that you have finished reading everything, go back to the beginning and only do items 1 and 2 before turning in your paper." As I recall, only a few of the class got an "A" for the assignment (thankfully, my parents had already stressed to me the importance of reading everything first before writing anything, and I was one of them). And the amount calling out "I have" in the class was hilarious.
😂😂😂😂 I'm a school bus driver and a driver's ed teacher. Yep, I've encountered all these. I have a lot of cats and dogs on my bus...
Teens wanting licenses but can't follow basic instructions. I tell them to write on the top of the homework sheet when the assignment is due and at least one will say they didn't know. A specific spot on the test that says Name. How hard can this be???? I give these kids the answers to the three most missed questions (out of 20) all three days that we meet. On the board, in their faces until I pass out the tests and they still can't get them right. Come on! It's multiple choice!!!🤪
Then they will complain that they're not begin taught anything that applies to "real life" .... smh
THE PENCIL THING THOUGH!!! I will NEVER understand. You take out a pencil. You write with said pencil. You put the pencil in your pencil case. You take the pencil out when you needed it again and repeat. HOW IS THAT HARD?? How do people manage to lose so many pencils so quickly??!!
I think it’s because pencils like other learning tools are not valued by their student users. Otherwise the utensils would be kept tucked away safely in the students’ desks, backpacks, pockets, etc.
I don't know either! They just disappear! Happens with paper too. I have it and then I don't :/
It's a talent. Like how Zoro from One Piece can get lost in a straight line. Something I hate is my classmates borrowing pencils from me and not returning them or using the eraser on top completely(not that I have ever said it to them). I use mechanical pencils and doing that makes it hard for me to put lead in. I have tried pressing down and pushing the lead through the tip, but somehow I always break it.
Because their parents don't hold them accountable and buy more of whatever they lose! This is the same reason there are heaps of lost jackets, lost water bottles, lost brand name tennis shoes, and other expensive lost stuff that never gets claimed. Entitlement.
I can almost forgive lost pencils but deliberately breaking them in two??? I supply them from a meager classroom budget.
Here’s a funny one for you:
Student - “Do I need to read the book?”
Me - “It’s for a book report.”
Student - “Yeah, I know. But, do I need to read it?”
Me - 😐🧐😒🤦🏼♀️🥴
I always tell my students who ask those questions, “that’s a rhetorical question.”
“ Do we need to do this in Spanish?” “ Will the test be in Spanish?”
Uhhh…. It is Spanish class.
-blinks slowly- Uhh....
Lol
Was there a ‘bored admin’ channel video that gave the advice that feeding chips to misbehaving students was the all-in-one answer to discipline? Because returning to the classroom chip-bearers has happened at my school too.
I haven't found a RUclips channel of sorts (yet). But no, admin., just like parents and pretty much everybody else involved in education, always want the quick fix to "solve the problem immediately" so that they don't actually have to do the necessary dirty work to put things right right away or over a period of time. A parent friend of mine whose kids I never taught but she had a son with special needs and wholeheartedly respected teachers herself, once said to me: "America wants fast food" with regards to aspects of (lack of) discipline and education leadership like those exercised by school administrators.
I have the exact same students in France. I don't know if I should laugh or cry!
As usual- spot on. I would venture to say that i encounter almost one of those on a daily basis. I KNOW that when WE were teens we NEVER did any of those behaviors.
I *must* comment on this most righteous video. You speak truth, for sure. I was just saying to my partner some of the EXACT same things not 10 minutes ago, lol. Extra credit to compensate for actual planned activities and homework missed? Not understanding an assignment because of failure to read the directions? Yes. Preach teach! 😆
This is just mouth watering awesome for teachers worldwide, we can all relate to these scenarios.
You forgot an important one: Students not doing their homework because they missed the previous lesson and "no one told them they had homework".
If you end up burned out on teaching you have a back up plan in singing. Maybe cover some songs in your next video. You could change the lyrics to fit the school theme. Thank you for these videos!
ALL.OF.THIS.
My favorite this week:
At the END of the day, just before bus dismissal:
Student: Mrs. A, What day is it?
Me: Monday, but it's almost over.
Student: Oh.....that was fast....
Middle Schoolers are the best lol
When kids don't read the instructions on a test, just say, "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200."
Like Monolopy
How have I never seen this channel until now??? Great stuff all-around!
Is this some sort of collaboration from multiple teacher RUclipsrs?
When students come back to class from the principal's office with snacks, we should say, "Oh, they wanted you to give those to me. Thank you. Now go sit in the corner."
Lol! My kids were notorious for failing to include their names or putting first name only. I once griped at my daughter that she wasn’t Cher or Madonna, so she needed both names. Her response? ‘Who are Madonna and Cher.’
So funny and yet sad at the same time. You are on spot on!
Yes to ALL of them! I had at least 6 of those happen to me just today. 😒
Thing that drive us crazy is THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. (no names, sounds, pencil tapping, I didn't do it, don't know how to sneeze, and no pencils and bad attitudes) And it is just Tuesday people. I STILL HAVE 3 days this week and 2 and a 1/2 next. HELP😫😱
🙏🤗You are almost there, just make it through today. That's how I make it. I also pray in class (silently) for peace, kindness, and that the students' hearts and minds be open to learning.
“Stop tapping your pencils this ain’t drum line” 😂
I’m glad I found this channel - I’ve never seen something more relatable in every aspect ~
I love this channel! It lets me know I am not crazy.
Right? This is the only place I feel like I'm not crazy. I don't know what I'd do without these videos.
When i was in HS, my friends and i would always leave to mcdonalds for lunch or starbucks or panda express etc. We would come back with other people's foods when 1 of our teachers saw, we extended that offer to her because she was sweet and funny and always a pleasure. As long as we didnt interrupt her lessons or be nuisance while she spoke she let us be. We could eat in her class as long as we all cleaned up after ourselves, we could talk while "doing" our work, if we didnt "feel good" we could sleep in class. [She thought rather have you buggin the nurse just stay here and be quiet. But if you snore you're out] she would encourage us to do better and so much more. She never asked us to bring her anything even though we offered but every now and then we'd bring her a starbucks drink and it was her fave so she would take it but transferred to her own cup. It was our secret.
Every single one of those things happened to me YESTERDAY! Got to love middle school.
EVERY point you make in this ‘make me crazy’ video has been said by me over the years. Except I’m a bit more sarcastic than you, I’m sure. Keep it going, teacher-sister!!
Hey ... I don't instagram, but I wanted to wish the entire Bored Teachers crew a Happy New Year, and to say how happy I am that I saw NO VIDEOS from y'all for the last 2 weeks ... LOL .... You all, every one of you, deserve a peaceful, restful break totally unrelated to WORK. I hope you enjoyed your time.
I also wanted to say you have provided moments of laughter and sanity in the midst of an increasingly insane experience for teachers. I have no idea what Omicron is going to bring for teachers this spring, but be encouraged! You are a force for good in this upside down world teachers inhabit, and I look forward to your continued contributions over the rest of the school year ... and beyond!
Blessings!
Kids coming to school sick drives me crazy. Their crud wouldn't last two weeks if their parents/guardians would keep them home for a day or two. 😐
With many parents now working from home, they are out of excuses as to why they can’t care for their kids. Yet they still look for more excuses not to fulfill their parenting responsibilities. The tree doesn’t fall far from the apple in this case!
We've had parents who wouldn't even have their child come to school except every now and then so CPS wasn't notified due to attendance or they were sick. It's a shame they wouldn't take care of them when they are sick and are depriving them of an education as well
The bell doesn't dismiss you I dismiss you 😂
These videos make me feel much better that my collegues and me are not the only ones to suffer like that 🤣
Definition of extra credit---- what you have the opportunity to do AFTER you have done ALL of the assigned work ( including class participation) AND want to do more. ....from a high school math teacher of 44 years. Love your videos!
There was a teacher in my school who hated the kids clicking their pens. She told them to stop. Not only did the students do it more, but they told their siblings and friends. She had every class doing it all day until she retired. It drove her crazy, and the kids loved every minute of it.
OMG! This is my classroom this year. All of it. Every one of these!!!
I'm French and I teach english in France, it struck me to see that we had the same incidents ! 😂
Except for the snacks from the principal, it's not in our culture, but I understand the fact that they send you back the student while you expect not to see them back anytime soon!
I love your videos!
The “I didn’t do it” drives me BONKERSSSSSS
Packing up before the bell is just efficient time management, and if the bell told me when to be here, it tells me when to leave. I only have a few minutes (In my school it's 3 minutes) to get to my locker, go to the bathroom, and get to the other end of the school before I'm late for the next class. So I think teachers should cut a little slack there. But everything else I am totally with you on!
Teachers aren't doing it as a form of control. It's that they have a lot to get through in a given amount of time. Just about every minute counts. If they fall behind even a little it throws things off for the next day. Sure kids have to get to next class. But teachers have to wait three minutes for kids to get in get there stuff out and be ready to get started. That's if things go perfectly.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078 Uh hello, kids can pack up and listen at the same time. Not to mention, 3 minutes will NOT make much difference. Half the time the teacher was already done talking anyway. It’s not that critical. Half the time it’s just work time too. It’s just a power trip. My brother missed the bus once because a teacher did this to him. My mom was pissed.
You crack me up every time! My dear husband is a high school math teacher and tells me these exact same things every day when he comes home.
Spot. On.
My “favorite” was students coming in halfway through the class period and getting bent out of shape when I told them that I was glad to see them, but that I couldn’t give them credit for attendance.
Especially when I could look out the window and see them in the “smoking ring” just across the street (and therefore not school property). One girl insisted she was in the bathroom, so I sent her to the nurse.
Oh. My. Goodness!!! I’m a teacher and this whole video just spiked my blood pressure! All the things I deal with on the daily.
I love these videos! I was a substitute for four years and I saw and heard a lot of crazy. Teachers put up with so much!!!
How about a student asking for a pencil only to rip the eraser out to throw at a classmate?
That poor pencil... that is savage!
Or bite it off
my classmates used to sharpen the metal part on top of the pencil when the eraser ran out.
@@hi.dawnstar LOL!!! My students did that and I took away the pencil sharpener. ✏
Ughhh the random noises drive me up the fucking wall 🤬🤬😂😂 like whyyyyyy
I have a student who pretends to be a dolphin and makes weird dolphin noises.
The bell thing is annoying though. I had many teachers dismiss the class AFTER the bell which makes me late to my next class. Then the next teacher yells at me for being late. It’s a lose lose situation. Teachers really need to be aware of the time.
Oh we're aware of the time. We're also aware of students running around like clowns at a circus instead of sitting in their seats.
I am sorry that’s the case for you. But often times, students will start packing up and getting ready to leave several minutes before the bell rings and while the teacher is still teaching too! It’s very rude and only delays the dismissal because if the students weren’t already packing up ahead of schedule, the teacher could have finished the lesson instead of pausing to tell the students to stay put and then resuming the last bit of instruction.
Passing periods are usually long enough even if students are released a bit late
@@happycook6737 they were 2.5 minutes. not long at all.
@@mariamshah338 My school is 4 minutes.
12th graders who can't bring their own pencils and paper to class. Ugg. And really, why are you still writing with *pencil* when you're about to go to college?
Well, not sure about your school, but most schools don't allow assignments to be written in pen. We either had to type ours, or the stuff had to be in pencil.🤷♀️
@@chrisbecker4412 Rlly????
We're the opposite: only lines in diagrams can be done in pencil. If you label in pencil you don't get credit.
Math should be in pencil!
And high schoolers making animal noises in class, come on now students how immature. Get with the program!
🤣😂 Thank you for posting these videos!
Where’s the lie? There is none! So on point.
I must have had only missed writing my name one time on an assignment in my entire life. I was rushing to get in my assignment because I didn't want to hand it in late. I was so extremely embarrassed when my teacher handed it back to me 5 seconds later cause I forgot my name. Never made the mistake again. I never wanted to experience such embarrassment again.
I shudder knowing its experienced often for teachers now that I'm an adult.
It’s hip to be lazy in today’s world. But this lack of effort and caring that students put towards their work is a reflection of their nonexistent discipline. Until the day arrives when the other adult parties involved in education wake up and smell the coffee, things will only get worse.
Love your delivery of the ridiculousness of it all!
This is my life... in high school, no less
This made my night 😂😂I promise it’s very accurate
Lol my students randomly make animal noises! I thought it was just me!
the noises are the worst
I'm going to start giving referrals for animal noises.
I have students that make the bell sounds. There are so many bells.😩
If it was just animal noises, I could probably deal with it, but the constant monotonous humming drove me insane.
I finally figured out the reason because I have great nieces and nephews who do it too. Their homes are so noisy and chaotic, they are creating their own form of white noise when they need to tune it all out and think.
Parents need to consider the consequences of constantly having TV, videos games, music, etc. blaring away in their homes!
I Love this woman!!!
As a specials teacher, I can happily say I haven't had to deal with too many of these. That being said, I roll my eyes internally when the minute you give 6th grade work is the minute the entire room needs to sharpen their pencils or go to the bathroom.
You forgot when students misspell words that are written either on the assignment or on the board. 😂
Love your videos!
My favorite, "He's looking at me!"
I knew it was time to retire when I refused to give pencils and felt this was a perfectly reasonable response.
I use to be the tapper and early packer. The tapping/clicking was a nervous or concentration habit. I didn't realize I was doing it until someone told me to stop. Lol
With packing up early:
When you only have 3 minutes to get to your next class and your next class is on the other side of campus... I'm packing up early.
-When your bus is first in line to leave and if you miss it there is no other way for you to get home...🙃🙃🙃 I'm packing up early.
- When I need to pee but I didnt want to go in the middle of you teaching because everything that you are saying is important and needs to be written down and I know damn well my teacher next class wont let me go or is also teaching a hard subject... I'm packing up early so I can go between the 3 minute time I have before I get to my next class. Lol
These are so true!!!!! Love your videos.
Same conversations I’m having with my college students- except the animal noises (not yet anyway 🤔🙄) God bless us all. Thanks for keeping us with a good spirit in these final weeks! ❤️🙏🏾
These are all so SPOT ON!!! Omg! Especially the “I didn’t do that!” When you just saw them do that! And the animal noises! I had high school kids for the longest time doing a turkey gobble sound at random moments. I so wanted to smack someone but I never knew who did it.
Veteran teacher here and all she speaks of is TRUE!
Every last one of those things drive me insane!!!!
I love her so much!!! Everything she says is exactly right!!!
UGH, THE EXTRA CREDDDDDIT. Yessssss. "I didn't feel like doing any of the assignments you gave the class, but my mom will kill me if she sees that I've got an F, so can I have some extra credit?"
We (teachers) clearly live the SAME life! 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣 Love your content! ❤❤❤
Thank You! Y'all should write a book about all this stuff and call it The Day in a Life of a teacher or even Teacher Survival Guide (what you really need to know about the Classroom) lol lol 😆
Thanks again for showing the struggle is real and I'm not alone. ❤
So true. Other things that annoyed me was students asking for an extension of time for an assessment task when it was already several days late. I taught textiles and design and when it came to practical work, students bringing in a garment that they obviously didn’t make and try to pass it off as their own work. I had one student who handed in a black T shirt as a garment she had made. I pointed out to her where the label had been cut off and it had been worn as it had pilling (little fibre balls on the fabric surface from abrasion) over it. They had to keep a visual diary of their work and a minimum of 50% of the work had to be done at school. Obviously this wasn’t done.
"Kids Packing Up Before the Bell": my teacher would say the same EXACT thing!! 😂
You hit the nail on the head Lady! The not listening! Aargh!!!
Our teachers never gave us pencils! If you forgot or lost your pencil, you had to beg one off your nearest classmate, without getting caught by the teacher for talking.
Totally agree with you on the extra credit
This year I have had more students lie to me about what I just saw them do than I ever have before. Kid, I have eyes. I literally stood here and watched you do that thing. This is not zoom. You did not shut off your camera. This is real life. For all that's holy, I lie about something I didn't see.
I did the pencils sounds and made sounds in the classroom from middle school to high school - the only things that kept me sane as a kid 😅
I feel the irritation with my pencils on the floor in my soul. This year they'll break them in half and trash then in the hallway. I see red. XD
I taught college classes for 10 years. I promise you, it doesn't get better as the students get older.
