We don’t need support we need parents to actually discipline/raise their kids at home so we don’t have to deal with their innapropriate behavior at school 😅
@@user-lt1jd1ye3vamen dude. Parents are the first teachers. They need to parent first and then when they send their kids to teachers they might actually learn something
@@boodledemic6430this is kind of the problem too though, most parents are overworked, might have 2-3 jobs and come home exhausted. This is a systemic problem; our productivity work-worshiping culture is broken from the top down. There’s also the issue of hyper-individualistic US culture isolating us from our communities and neighbors, who used to be involved in raising children, lifting some of the strain off of parents. “It takes a village to raise a child” is incredibly true.
That’s pretty much what stand-up is: a free therapy session where the feedkback comes in the form of cheers and claps instead of motivational words from a therapist. 😉
It’s frustrating when people are like you’re a nurse you’re a teacher you have to be so serious all the time. Like we need to vent with our dark humor and yes we’re dealing with people you love but it’s a coping mechanism which allows us to be better at our jobs
Hey I worked with a racist white trash dude who said "I ain't racist-- I like rap." He also once said "If you're not a little homophobic then you're a little gay." He was an asshole but I gotta admit he was amusing to be around. Ya never knew what absurdities would come outa his mouth. Love y'all, The Old Hippiebilly
I always had great teachers, but my brother always got teachers who were going through divorce or disaster, and the idea of mrs I with a gun haunts me. Maybe teachers wouldn’t be so strung out if they had materials covered instead of spending an average of $500 a year on pencils for kids who forgot their at home?
@@TeamCat1128 The lottery raises money and then politicians cut the taxes that fund the schools to fund other things.

delivery was solid and hilarious - and such a great basis for bringing everyone in because we've all gone to school right? um we've all gone to to school, right? ahh shit
I had an English teacher who was a heavy woman herself but oh boy I remember her comic timing was amazing. Her classes left us kids in splits every single time without fail. But then she had a fall out with the principal and she had to leave. I swear we all were so sad to not find her taking our next grade's English lessons. We all remember her fondly to this day. I was only 12, now I'm 31. I still remember her - Ms. Balmeet ❤
Come on, Mike - you're not fooling anyone. We all know old dogs can't teach new tricks. Who hired you? I'm alerting the school board. This is a nation that cannot and will not tolerate interspecies education! Who's with me?
everyday to and everyday from the school. Because we love knowledge get prepared, study, pay for extra education, get picked apart by admin, still have hope and see potential in future generations....and our students and parents don't see how much we care. Teachers invest so much and 2-3 students destroy the gift within seconds. Then the vicious cycle of "self improvement plan" micro managed by admin takes over and the teacher is out of work..takes about 1-4 semesters to kill a spirit of a teacher.
@@audreywoodcock3869I’m so sorry, from a student, I understand how hard you guys work all the time, and the pay is just insulting. I hope you are able to get out of that cycle soon. ❤

@sexy monkey We speak English, not French. There is no central authority regulating our language, it evolves constantly, and as such prescriptivism makes absolutely no sense. Words mean what people intend them to mean, and every English language dictionary reflects this by defining words as they're actually used. As a thought exercise, I recommend you go read something written in English from, for instance, the turn of the 20th century. You'll find all sorts of words used differently than how they're commonly used now. Ask yourself, how did those meanings change? If you'd like to speak a language regulated by a central authority, plenty exist, but English has never been and never will be one of them.
Hi, Kayley here. I’m shocked you spelled my name how I do because it’s not super common. 2nd person is right you can spell it Kayleigh but there’s like 30 or more ways to spell my name😅 The way you’ll find on any souvenir is Kaylee. And yeah my name is far more common than my parents anticipated.
She reminds me of my favorite 8th grade math teacher. (He demanded we call him that.) He'd been in the military and had a buzz cut (weird for a teacher in the 1970s we'd tease him about). He had this drill sergeant schtick. He'd act stern and slam his ruler on your desk and bark, "Who's your favorite 8th grade math teacher?!" He never lost his temper, and always handled things with humor. Kept us in line with that ruler,, and his barking at us. Thanks, Mr. McMahon. I actually learned to love math from him.
TV gets teaching wrong a lot. Teachers are either humorless boring automatons, so over involved with their students it would likely get them fired (seen some shows/movies where they even let a student live with them or take them home), or Dead Poet Society knockoffs. Rarely see some of the true hurdles of being a teacher like the generation gap, students you have to be nice to even though you want to go full 1940s teacher on and paddle them, students you see making major easily avoidable mistakes but cant change, students suffering but you cant help without breaking some school rule, or trying to act professional even when you have no idea what to do. Kind of random but I always wonder how some teachers handle things like 9/11 or similar tragedies/major events, cant be easy especially when you're just as lost as the students.
You think she is joking but this is really what it’s like teaching teens. We had a budget freeze for two years and I had to start a can drive to make sure we had pens. Our principal doesn’t seem to respond to our ideas or extra things we volunteer our time to do. You tell a kid to put their phone away and they really do call you a dumb bitch. One kid threatened to snap my neck. Granted, I work in a therapeutic high school but I hear these things are common in typical high schools.

Yes !!! I was a teachers aide! I saw all this first hand. It was tough to watch the teacher struggle with admin, parents and the students. It was so overwhelming. But the teacher remained so caring and chill
My mom was a high school teacher for 30 years. This teacher is spitting 100% facts. She funny but it reminds me of seeing my mom stressed out expression at the end of every day.
Her almost monotone delivery to her act is funny. I like this girl. Never seen her before but she's good. I bet she really is many of her kid's favorite teacher. I'm sure she's loved by them. She's pretty awesome.
@@silverkitty2503 Ya. You might be right. But I'm sure there are still a lot of good kids out there today who love their teachers. Not all kids are evil these days. But you're right that times and attitudes have changed. It's just not the same.
I was in a parent teacher meeting with my son where the assistant principal said and I quote " kids behavior issues could have to do with moon phases that were going on these days" My son's teachers started looking down and up at the ceiling. My wife spoke up to break the silence in the room and changed the subject. We have been laughing at that one for years....
Loving the fresh take/content. Sadly, I can sense the pain in frustration behind the jokes. I have friends that are teachers in the US, and man, I honestly don't how they do it.
The non-educators can laugh wholeheartedly at these jokes, teachers laughter is marred with sadness because they know Liz just speaks the truth. The truth sometimes is so painful, you just gave to laugh about it. My R E S P E C T to all teachers.
Hard lived experiences plus her phenomenal one-two cadence for an unexpected delivery is amazing. I hope a lot of good changes will be inspired for how educators are valued and supported in addition to better times for her students and wish her all the best.
I had a male version of her for my study hall class...Dude would get pissed if a fight broke out in class, not because of the fighting, but because no one gave him a heads-up to 'have an excuse to leave the room' so he could at least have 'plausible deniability' when he said he didn't see anything. Lol! Basically he was like 'beat the ever-loving shit out of each other, I don't give a fuck, but don't you dare get me in trouble with the principal, cause that dude's a prick.'
Ba ha ha 😂 I can relate to the teaching part! Spent 30 year's of my life, as a Special Education Teacher Assistant. Working with disabled children, from Grade 1 - 12. In both the Public & Private sectors. A most "MASSIVE" shout out of appreciation🙌👏to her & ALL Teacher's plus TA's. I feel they are "essential" job's. Most definitely "not" paid enough, nor acknowledged for what we/they do. Beautiful Blessing's💐from here in Canada 🇨🇦🙋♀️👋

My cousin was teaching special Ed when an assailant entered the school. They left her with her students in the library and everyone else left except the classroom being taken as hostage. Crap is real. She protected her kids but one child was killed in the hostage room. Very sad she stopped teaching. Times have changed.
OMG, so sorry to hear this! Hopefully your cousin is able to get some appropriate help for her trauma. She is truly a hero, and she is fortunate to have such an empathetic relative as you in her life.
There’s literally a Golden Corral next to my Planet Fitness. And a dive bar, and a Starbucks, and a dollar tree, and a suspicious looking massage parlor with blackout tinted windows. Whatever your addiction is, this plaza has it.
As a veteran high school teacher of 11 years, she had me in tears of laughter because she is my psychological ID unleashed. Preach, Liz! 🤚🏻Preach, Sister!
She was hilarious! This bit was so funny I sent it to all my teacher friends and listened to it twice. The kids in those classrooms are crazy as hell and although she was humorous, she was being truthful!
I remember in 7th grade we got a new science teacher, brand new young woman coming into the field, and my class just absolutely destroyed her, she would go in the hallway and cry, other teachers would see her and then come in and yell at the class (there was one teacher who taught 8th grade and she was like a drill sgt) eventually she just stopped going to work and we were left with substitutes for the rest of the year, she didn't even last till the end of winter. She was such a good teacher too, she knew everything about the material and as a person who science comes easily i got to enjoy hearing what she had to say in the field. Really wish i could meet her again, i cant even remember her name it was so long ago. I hope shes doing well.
She could have made one comment like, “y’all aren’t attractive enough to be stupid and not learn this” and shut it down. The problem is, children, like dogs, can smell fear. Once you let the idiot children have control over your emotions… you’re done.
I wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud because I usually don’t at many comedians nowadays but I actually did! I felt like her “one child left behind” joke was genius and the crowd didn’t get it
Oh yes so glad you raised this -- I'm just now catching the layers to that joke, wow! It definitely speaks to the educators and those who lived through the initial buzz during the Bush era for No Child Left Behind initiatives.
Assuming the ones who laughed got the reference. But yeah: leave 'em all behind. That was the beginning of the end, the start of the serious investment in dumbing down the US. Heavily tie funding to yearly test scores and blame the current state of things as opposed to acknowledging that there was any systemic issue... Really evil stuff.
You have to be aware of the "No Child Left Behind" law Bush started along with understanding how some states are encouraging teachers to pick up arms to protect students from shooters...
Just well done, well-executed stand-up comedy. She actually kind of gives me Mama Cass vibes, like Mama Cass reincarnated in the 21st century. Can so easily imagine her playing a public high school teacher on a sitcom as well, maybe have her in the same cinematic universe as "Abbott Elementary". LOL
Hilarious!!! I relate to everything she said!!! As a former school teacher in a very ethnically diverse school, I have been called a "fat b!tch" in at least 4 different languages 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@cutiedopo17 The real difference is if you are Corporate Social Media native, or merely a digital native. The Corporate Social Media natives are the wired-up half-feral ones she's talking about in this set
@@cutiedopo17I feel the same way about my fellow Millennials. Those of us Millennials who were born in the ‘80s are very different from Millennials who were born in the ‘90s.
As a millennial I really like Gen Z. High schoolers are always troublesome. I think you guys were probably less than the generations prior, and waaay less then gen x or boomers.
@@digitalpickles1277As a Gen X’er, can confirm was troublesome. Even us with great GPA’s and test scores did not hold back on being extra to the teaching staff. Teacher deserve hazard pay.
I wish she had more material on RUclips, she's hilarious. My favorite part was her bit about teachers carrying guns: "There are people around who whole heartedly believe I should carry a gun at work. I'll be the first one to tell you I should not. I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any who want guns, I know a lot who want markers, you know? If I get a school-issued glock, and I'm still buying my own pencils, I'm taking that gun, I'm holding up a Staples. I'm getting the sh*t I need to do my job!" 🤣🤣🤣
damn that was one of the tightest sets i've seen in a long time. she was CRUSHING, and such a unique point of view! i'd love to see more of miss marm! *chefs kiss*
A student says to me in front of the rest of the class, "You can teach however you want." Uh, _how_ many dotted-line bosses do I have? And how many of them contradict the training I've received?
This video deserves a lot more likes. It is a laughing-out-loud funny, top shelf performance. Top marks for this one, Liz Blanc. I thank you and I believe in you!
I think she was hella funny I think she was blowing off steam from how hard it is to be a teacher . I wish I had a teacher like her maybe someone would of understand me .
Prior to retiring in 2019, I taught all four generations currently alive. I dealt with my share of unmotivated and disinterested Boomers, GenXer, and Millennials. It is part of the job. But until I taught Zoomers, I had never worked with people who were willfully, militantly ignorant.
Thank you Liz. I hope writing and delivering your comedy is therapeutic and keeps you centered. I enjoyed it! Love to all the teachers like you fighting to make a difference despite how society values us. Stay golden.
Incredible material! It has comedy with a lot of sadness and drama. I especially felt the joke about taking the gun... and holding up a Staples to get school supplies. That one really cut deep. I wish the absolute best and hope to see you make it on the biggest stages.

Yes !!! I was a teachers aide! I saw all this first hand. It was tough to watch the teacher struggle with admin, parents and the students. It was so overwhelming. But the teacher remained so caring and chill
My mom was a high school teacher for 30 years. This teacher is spitting 100% facts. She funny but it reminds me of seeing my mom stressed out expression at the end of every day.
“Just one child left behind” had me🤣🤣
She's funny as hell. As an educator, you can tell that she's exhausted and deals with so much disrespect
Not entirely unwarrented, ACAB includes teachers😎😎😎 /hj

Her almost monotone delivery to her act is funny. I like this girl. Never seen her before but she's good. I bet she really is many of her kid's favorite teacher. I'm sure she's loved by them. She's pretty awesome.

yeah you dont know todays kids ..no teacher is their fav they hate them all equally
@@silverkitty2503 Ya. You might be right. But I'm sure there are still a lot of good kids out there today who love their teachers. Not all kids are evil these days. But you're right that times and attitudes have changed. It's just not the same.
@@silverkitty2503I have favourite teachers
@@silverkitty2503That's definitely not true. Everyone's always fighting over who's the best teacher (and occasionally the most attractive 🙄)
I was in a parent teacher meeting with my son where the assistant principal said and I quote " kids behavior issues could have to do with moon phases that were going on these days" My son's teachers started looking down and up at the ceiling. My wife spoke up to break the silence in the room and changed the subject. We have been laughing at that one for years....
It's Real, though. 😳 Doesn't make Sense, but on a full moon, the kids are wild. ERs say the same thing.
18 yrs as a middle school English teacher and this was 🔥🔥
Respecting my pronouns, not me as a person was the funniest, most relatable thing I’ve heard. Immediately shared with my 3 teens! Freaking love her!
Best line agree, I will remember that one!
I mean it’s simple. I don’t have to respect you. But I’m not gonna disrespect you.
As a high school English teacher, I can attest that she rocks!
And as a high schooler who ADORES my English teachers I can attest that you're doing amazing:)
English teachers were the best in my high school! Two in particular were some of the funniest guys. I have them on social media now haha
Loving the fresh take/content. Sadly, I can sense the pain in frustration behind the jokes. I have friends that are teachers in the US, and man, I honestly don't how they do it.
Comedy is a good way to get it out? 😅
student loans leave them no other choice
@@carisoul2180 not to mention the shootouts
actually i think she is above it and she has no pain about it but rather pity for those who try giving her trouble.
As a teacher in the UK I can confirm the situation is just as dire. Only saving grace is we don't have to worry as much about the possibility of guns.
The non-educators can laugh wholeheartedly at these jokes, teachers laughter is marred with sadness because they know Liz just speaks the truth. The truth sometimes is so painful, you just gave to laugh about it. My R E S P E C T to all teachers.
Hard lived experiences plus her phenomenal one-two cadence for an unexpected delivery is amazing. I hope a lot of good changes will be inspired for how educators are valued and supported in addition to better times for her students and wish her all the best.
She’s the teacher I needed when I was young 😂
She was probably your classmate then
I had a male version of her for my study hall class...Dude would get pissed if a fight broke out in class, not because of the fighting, but because no one gave him a heads-up to 'have an excuse to leave the room' so he could at least have 'plausible deniability' when he said he didn't see anything. Lol! Basically he was like 'beat the ever-loving shit out of each other, I don't give a fuck, but don't you dare get me in trouble with the principal, cause that dude's a prick.'
same.
Don´t worry. You´re not the oldest bitch on the planet.
This woman needs her own HBO series ASAP. I need MORE ...
She's slaying all the way!! Can't wait to see more of her comedy!
Love this! “It’s not racist my dad’s white” 😂😂❤❤
Ba ha ha 😂 I can relate to the teaching part! Spent 30 year's of my life, as a Special Education Teacher Assistant. Working with disabled children, from Grade 1 - 12. In both the Public & Private sectors. A most "MASSIVE" shout out of appreciation🙌👏to her & ALL Teacher's plus TA's. I feel they are "essential" job's. Most definitely "not" paid enough, nor acknowledged for what we/they do. Beautiful Blessing's💐from here in Canada 🇨🇦🙋♀️👋
I love that she was able to pull off a callback on a 10 min set. Love it!
A gym having a pizza party is like a dentist giving out candy on Halloween: a long term investment.
yep. I think Wednesday was pizza day.
😂
There's been cases of Planet Fitness doing that with pizza or donuts
or like the big pharma companies in cahoots with the media companies in cahoots with the politicians who are in cahoots with....
@@arthas640 If it's once a week that's not bad and I'm sure their not giving out whole pizzas and a dozen of donuts per customer. I believe in having a cheat day I did I lost weight still worked out it keep me sane. You have to do what works for you, cutting everything out usually results in binge eating falling off the wagon all together.
56 year old high school English teacher here…I am laughing so hard…I’ve done the span from Gen X to Gen Z…So I REALLY get it!
If ur 56, then u ARE Gen X. 😊
😂
@AllThat Remains yeah but when she was in her twenties she would have been teaching the youngest Gen X.
This made me laugh harder than I have in a long time!
My cousin was teaching special Ed when an assailant entered the school.
They left her with her students in the library and everyone else left except the classroom being taken as hostage.
Crap is real. She protected her kids but one child was killed in the hostage room. Very sad she stopped teaching.
Times have changed.
OMG, so sorry to hear this! Hopefully your cousin is able to get some appropriate help for her trauma. She is truly a hero, and she is fortunate to have such an empathetic relative as you in her life.
This is horrible. I'm so, so sorry
Times have NOT changed. It's still like that today.
"No Principle Kaylie, my classroom is not a vibe. Please leave"😂💀
Her punchlines are magnificent. It's all unexpected! As a teacher I relate so much. Good stuff, slay kween💅
I laughed at EVERY joke. So good
Ironically, I didn’t laugh at ANY jokes.
@@rightchordleadership Well, I laughed at this one 🤣😂
There’s literally a Golden Corral next to my Planet Fitness. And a dive bar, and a Starbucks, and a dollar tree, and a suspicious looking massage parlor with blackout tinted windows. Whatever your addiction is, this plaza has it.
I also teach high school, can totally relate! This is a wonderful, well-written set!
Me too!
As a veteran high school teacher of 11 years, she had me in tears of laughter because she is my psychological ID unleashed. Preach, Liz! 🤚🏻Preach, Sister!
I've never felt a series of jokes more than these. Being a first year teacher for Gen Z is....a ride for sure!
Yes, first year teaching in public school. This shit is crazy.
She was hilarious! This bit was so funny I sent it to all my teacher friends and listened to it twice. The kids in those classrooms are crazy as hell and although she was humorous, she was being truthful!
Great set! Not a teacher but you paint a vivid picture of today's teacher struggles.
You are the funniest new comedian I’ve seen in a long time! You’re too smart and too funny to be teaching. God bless you I could never do it.❤
As a teacher I was rolling and trying to hold back the tears. Everything is accurate to the T!!!!
Thank you for teaching. You don't deserve any bullying! The kids should be thanking you.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a minute. Her deliveries were on point. I hope she continues to do more standup
I just woke my roommate up from laughing so hard. Thank you for representing teachers and thank you for being you
“You think your teacher can have a house in LA” could have been followed by “I teach English, but math seems to be failing you”
I remember in 7th grade we got a new science teacher, brand new young woman coming into the field, and my class just absolutely destroyed her, she would go in the hallway and cry, other teachers would see her and then come in and yell at the class (there was one teacher who taught 8th grade and she was like a drill sgt) eventually she just stopped going to work and we were left with substitutes for the rest of the year, she didn't even last till the end of winter. She was such a good teacher too, she knew everything about the material and as a person who science comes easily i got to enjoy hearing what she had to say in the field. Really wish i could meet her again, i cant even remember her name it was so long ago. I hope shes doing well.
She could have made one comment like, “y’all aren’t attractive enough to be stupid and not learn this” and shut it down. The problem is, children, like dogs, can smell fear. Once you let the idiot children have control over your emotions… you’re done.
I wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud because I usually don’t at many comedians nowadays but I actually did! I felt like her “one child left behind” joke was genius and the crowd didn’t get it
Oh yes so glad you raised this -- I'm just now catching the layers to that joke, wow! It definitely speaks to the educators and those who lived through the initial buzz during the Bush era for No Child Left Behind initiatives.
Assuming the ones who laughed got the reference. But yeah: leave 'em all behind. That was the beginning of the end, the start of the serious investment in dumbing down the US. Heavily tie funding to yearly test scores and blame the current state of things as opposed to acknowledging that there was any systemic issue... Really evil stuff.
You have to be aware of the "No Child Left Behind" law Bush started along with understanding how some states are encouraging teachers to pick up arms to protect students from shooters...
You can tell she’s a teacher with great set ups & punchlines lol. This was great!
Being a teacher, I feel this in so many ways even though I'm not from the US. She is really good 😂🤣
Wow, need a full special from her. Incredible delivery and the punchlines were awesome.
Just well done, well-executed stand-up comedy. She actually kind of gives me Mama Cass vibes, like Mama Cass reincarnated in the 21st century. Can so easily imagine her playing a public high school teacher on a sitcom as well, maybe have her in the same cinematic universe as "Abbott Elementary". LOL
Hilarious!!! I relate to everything she said!!! As a former school teacher in a very ethnically diverse school, I have been called a "fat b!tch" in at least 4 different languages 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. What has this world come to?
It's funny because I'm a Gen Z teacher teaching Gen Z students and the interactions and the moments are hilarious 🤣
Older gen Z and tail end gen Z are soooo different. Older gen Z are mini millennials
@@cutiedopo17 The real difference is if you are Corporate Social Media native, or merely a digital native. The Corporate Social Media natives are the wired-up half-feral ones she's talking about in this set
lol what's your age? I teach too but I'm 22
@@cutiedopo17so true!
@@cutiedopo17I feel the same way about my fellow Millennials. Those of us Millennials who were born in the ‘80s are very different from Millennials who were born in the ‘90s.
I'm Gen Z and I was super respectful to teachers when I was a student. Mad respect to teachers.
My Gen Z students tend to be super respectful. I truly appreciate y'all!
As a millennial I really like Gen Z. High schoolers are always troublesome. I think you guys were probably less than the generations prior, and waaay less then gen x or boomers.
Sure it didn’t go unnoticed ❤
@@digitalpickles1277disagree on the less than prior gens like tiktok sorta encouraged alot of Z to do some awful stuff like the “devious licks” thing
@@digitalpickles1277As a Gen X’er, can confirm was troublesome. Even us with great GPA’s and test scores did not hold back on being extra to the teaching staff. Teacher deserve hazard pay.
I wish she had more material on RUclips, she's hilarious. My favorite part was her bit about teachers carrying guns: "There are people around who whole heartedly believe I should carry a gun at work. I'll be the first one to tell you I should not. I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any who want guns, I know a lot who want markers, you know? If I get a school-issued glock, and I'm still buying my own pencils, I'm taking that gun, I'm holding up a Staples. I'm getting the sh*t I need to do my job!"
🤣🤣🤣
This was such a good set. Heartwarming, funny, chill and real
'Hit-after-hit' with the jokes! So funny and intellectually stimulating
damn that was one of the tightest sets i've seen in a long time. she was CRUSHING, and such a unique point of view! i'd love to see more of miss marm! *chefs kiss*
She’s the reason y all my English teachers were my fave, growing up. They def had the most heart & personality 😆👏👏👏
"I met your mom on conference!" 🤣
As a former teacher of 20 yrs you have no idea how much I identified with this-
“I can’t cover my coffee and yell worldstar”
😂😂😂
"Teachers can get called down to the principal for discipline." New fear unlocked!! 😬
A student says to me in front of the rest of the class, "You can teach however you want." Uh, _how_ many dotted-line bosses do I have? And how many of them contradict the training I've received?
Shoutout to the guy who yelled "yeah" after the seven joke like it proved a personal argument that he is still mad about.
This video deserves a lot more likes.
It is a laughing-out-loud funny, top shelf performance.
Top marks for this one, Liz Blanc. I thank you and I believe in you!
I think she was hella funny I think she was blowing off steam from how hard it is to be a teacher . I wish I had a teacher like her maybe someone would of understand me .
She had SOOOO many good one liners, the story telling and delivery were incredible too
The delivery was pretty decent but the jokes were brilliant 🤣
This woman killed it! Every joke was so good and the delivery was on point! Glad to know she's tenured haha
I'm a substitute teacher and it's relief listening to this. ❤ U
Prior to retiring in 2019, I taught all four generations currently alive. I dealt with my share of unmotivated and disinterested Boomers, GenXer, and Millennials. It is part of the job. But until I taught Zoomers, I had never worked with people who were willfully, militantly ignorant.
She was fire! ACTUALLY funny. Crazy that’s where comedy is today where a lot are not.
I taught English in LAUSD for 16 years. Absolutely one of the most stressful jobs in the world, just behind soldier, cop, and fire fighter.
Been there. Done that.
I substitute teach at the high school level, and having a razor wit and good comedic timing is ESSENTIAL to survival.
This is was one of the best sets I’ve seen in a long time! Hope to see a lot more of Liz Blanc!
Omg the vision board bit hahahahahha oh so “enlightened”, “emotionally intelligent”, and “empathetic”😂😂
Ms. Blanc is hilarious and likely has a few students who realize how fortunate they are to have her as a teacher.
“If I’m getting a school issued GLOCK” lolll, totally took me out.
Thank you Liz. I hope writing and delivering your comedy is therapeutic and keeps you centered. I enjoyed it! Love to all the teachers like you fighting to make a difference despite how society values us. Stay golden.
Incredible material! It has comedy with a lot of sadness and drama. I especially felt the joke about taking the gun... and holding up a Staples to get school supplies. That one really cut deep.
I wish the absolute best and hope to see you make it on the biggest stages.
“I had no idea I was in the running,” I lost it. Hilarious.
