My older daughter was in her preschool Christmas program and stood with her classmates in the risers with the deer in the headlights look the entire program. When we got in the van to go home she opened her mouth and sang the entire program to us all the way home.
I so understand teaching in Florida when the AC goes out. There is nothing like it in the world. When they bring the kids otter pops before lunch you know it’s going to be bad.
I have always had “hidden” supplies for my poorer students, even famine supplies. I get paid under 37,000$ a year and have 4 children with a spouse that only works every few months. I still buy stuff including to decorate my classroom and the science lab. I also buy a lot of science stuff too. Even though I say I can’t afford anything. I have been at schools that limited our amount of prints per month. My colleagues and I started to share our codes so we could all print what we needed.
my teacher fell asleep once in class and we held a court case, there was like a judge, lawyers and someone couldent afford a lawyer. I was giving more attention to the court case than i ever have in class.
9 more days - i am in single digits! I am relieved. First year teacher. I have bought soo much for my classroom this year. And i went from a single person household to supporting a 2nd adult and a child in January. I am looking forward to a break. My income is spread over 12 months so I am able to do so but i am having a staycation
It hurts to feel like you can't afford to help your students with a little snack or supplies, but I straight up can't afford my own snacks or supplies.
A teacher quit. Im subbing in a behavioral class. If I dont bring snacks there are epic meltdowns during the day. Some of the kids have bad food insecurity. The school does have bare bones snacks but some of them have sensory issues. Its a whole thing. If they are hungry everyone suffers. I spend a few dollars and everyones life is better. I cant afford not to bring in snacks.
@@artsygal1923 I work with foster children and have been a foster parent and a foster child. I disclose this to say thank you for recognizing what trauma does to a child's brain especially in terms of food insecurities! You are amazing ❤️ even if no one has told you lately.
@@MarieA22 thanks! I appreciate it. Sometimes I wish I could do more like I cant be there every day despite the kids begging me to be there every day. Sometimes when I am not there they end up getting suspended and I dont blame anyone its just sad because they are acting out for a specific reason and sometimes that reason is just that they aren’t getting enough attention. Sometimes just having a safe place to go and talk to someone during the day can change the day for them. I was sick and my daughter was sick and a few things happened I missed several days. No one will volunteer for the class if I dont take it so they literally lock the door. Well one of the kids was in class for 30 min ran away. I walk out to look for him because I didnt have anyone else in the class. I see this head peak out from behind a bunch of stuff he immediately gets out, comes to me grabs my hand and says are you in bbase today? I say yes are you ready to go there with me. He nods and says Im happy you are here. We held hands all the way back to class. It just makes me smile and melts my heart.
I love listening to you guys! I teach Kindergarten and my students get out a week before everyone else. So yesterday (5/19) was my last day! I have 3 kids in elementary and a 3 year old. I love those few days the following week of a quiet classroom and doing things in my room I WANT to do. No distractions from my 4 kids or students 😂Love you guys!!
Watching this on the first day of school 2024-25. I am not a teacher; but ya’ll are great to listen to. Hearing this about buying personal printer/ink/paper is an outrage. I’m going to send my grandson’s teacher a message and ask her specifically if this is required.
Y’all have to know as a non teacher parent when my daughter goes to kindergarten I’m going to do my very best to help support her teachers and staff! I’m already brainstorming ideas of how to fundraise and help the teachers. ❤
The issue around having to buy your own printer and printouts infuriates me. I worked as an advisor for a pre-college program on a college campus... the amount of times I had to ask "Is this a budget issue or are we having a control issue (power trip)?" about *allowing* teachers to have supplies was atrocious. Admins feel entitled to withhold supplies from teachers because they can and they pretend it's a budget issue... but baby, NOBODY better be gettin raises if we're making teachers buy their own classroom supplies with no pay compensation. I don't want to see any admin getting a bonus when their teachers are allotted 1 whiteboard marker for the whole year. No. Our kids cannot succeed when the system is actively attempting to speed-run their teacher's breakdowns. It's insane.
With 10 days of school left I'm sad it's the end of the school year. My anxiety spikes so bad at the end of the year. Knowing that the safe place for these kids is going away makes my heart start pounding as a worry whether or not we'll see them next year. And what additional trauma they're going to incurre over the next few months
Where I live, we go right up until the end of June. (The 29th is the students'last day, and the 30th is an "administrative day" which generally means staff breakfast, pack up anything that we want at home for the summer (tech, plants, etc.) and typically saying goodbye by early afternoon. But we get a full two weeks off in December, two more weeks off in March, and we don't go back until the day after Labor Day, so I guess it all evens out.
I sent an email to my professor when student teaching talking about the frustration with my cooperating teacher and principal who were ripping me apart, and my professor, sent an email to talk to them and accidentally attached my email. I was so confused the next day when the teacher seemed to be saying things about what I said to my professor and I thought maybe they has talked and was upset. Then I got an email for my professor apologizing profusely once she realized her mistake. Then the head of ed dept at college came a rescued me from the school and said I could go rest at home for 2 weeks until the next student teaching position started. Still traumatized by that 10 years later XD
Had something similar happen to me. Only it was a private in person conversation. Turns out the cooperating teacher and the professor were besties from way back. I was getting marked off for "sounding and talking fast like a Yankee" and "looking exhausted on Wednesday" when I had to get up at 5AM to be at the school at 6:30AM after having classes until 10:00PM. Long story short I had to take an incomplete to avoid failing a the entire thing; next swing was so amazingly easy and I was treated so well I can almost cry in relief 15 years later.
Regarding supplies, it depends on the admin and what they prioritize, they control the money. I’ve had admin where they spent every penny on the kids and our classes. Other admin, basically told me that if kids needed books make a gofundme or a donors choose. Its all about the admin and the school board being receptive to criticisms of the admin.
I worked at a school that said I had to buy and keep plants alive in my classroom… I looked the admin in the face and said not with my personal money. I didn’t cave. Then 1 day before the kids started school an admin brought me a small plant and said, “you can start with this and grow your garden during the year”. So, I said, “Mmmhmm”, and let that plant die. 😅
Hi, I retired last year after 33 years teaching high school. Throughout my teaching career, I gave up keeping track ( on a yearly) basis how much of my own money I spent on ink for my home printer ( to do copies for school), paper for the printer etc. etc. My final year of my career, I was teaching First year Spanish, 3 Senior English classes, 1 class of Technical Writing, 1 class of Creative Writing. So… you can only imagine how much computer paper that I paid for not to mention ink cartridges for my printer. This is not to mention all of the other materials that I bought throughout the year for special projects ( my expense). Most of the districts that I worked for were districts were students were poor. Elizabeth Clark Goodrich, Texas
This brought back memories of when I had a wax museum in 5th grade! I was davey jones and I had a tambourine and everything. I'll be a senior in highschool next year.
I work at the Prek center in my district and state recently showed up after what was supposed to be our spring visit in March we were all like why are you here! It's over this all the fun stuff😂
35:14 there was this one time a substitute unplugged the main router for the school to plug in their laptop and literally it took like 2 hours for us to get internet back. For a high school of around 2500 kids.
The teachers in our district are not allowed to put printer paper on the supply list. :( They always put it on their special request lists, and I will gladly purchase it for them!! There is no other profession that requires so much upfront costs.
When I was a High School Math Teacher I worked in a district where we didn't have enough books for all the students and we only had so many copies per month. We were also on a block schedule so 3 classes with 25-35 students each. So if you ran out of copies before the end of the month you were paying for your own copies for your students.
I know it’s the end of the school year without looking at the calendar when the kids have the “don’t want tos” and I really don’t care because I HAVE THEM TOO!!!
Hey Gabe! New York City kids feel the pain every year 😅 the school calendar for public schools is September (after Labor Day) to late June. I graduated June 28th
As a middle schooler who had a 6 month relationship with this guy, I know FOR A FACT that all the teachers knew about it. They would all stand out in the hallway and watch us walk to our class together and on Valentine’s Day and Christmas we exchanged gifts in this one teachers class and she was watching us and she was so damn interested 😂 it was hilarious. And then he broke up with me over text and the next day they watched me run past him and I heard them be like “oh no” Becouse like we were like “made for eachother” at least that’s what everyone said and that was the end of it. He was kinda an asshole tho so it worked out. Now I’m dating the sweetest guy named Andrew. NO REGRETS!!!!
As a teacher myself, I love my job I work with 2nd-5th and the kids are so loving and kind. I hope this makes you want to be a teacher more than not because we need more teachers in the district. ❤
I definitely feel like Ms. Trunchbull these days 😅 I used to have to buy copy paper, but now all supplies are provided. It changed with covid funding 🤷♀️ Our wifi stops working at 8:30 a.m. and does not stsrt working until 3 p.m.
I'm not a teacher...never have been!! But I used to be a Juvenile Case Manager for the local Justice of the Peace. They only paid me $10/hr. with no benefits!! And my hours were limited so $275 a week!! That meant I dealt with all the truancy cases, and for some reason the judge I worked for thought I should supervise the mental health of the kids on my caseload!! I was expected to do home visits, transport juveniles to court and other destinations, without reimbursement or being covered under County insurance!! I quit a year and a half ago...they still haven't found anyone that wants that job!!😂
Aussie childcare educator here, we ONLY get public holidays off, i only get two to four days off over Christmas at the end of our school year and then were back into it unless we were successful in booking off leave which less than a full handful get over Christmas
I work at a school that allots us 100 copies per month. We have 18 students in kindergarten. Each morning we are expected to do a power hour lesson which requires a practice worksheet per child and that’s not including math and ELA blocks or homework packets which are also expected. For that assignment alone I’d be over 300 copies 🙃 I bought a printer and started splitting my copies between home, school and my husband printing at work smh
Kids that young should not be doing worksheets. When I was in kindergarten twenty years ago, the kids played in the classroom and all of the lessons were hands-on and play based. So sad the direction education is heading
I work in a nursery in the uk, we're private so we dont close at all, its a lot but defo feel the burn out from bout February to July where we kinda get a bit more of a break cause lots of kifs on holiday and some finish up for starting primary school. Oh and the suncream on 20 children get it but make it 34 3-5 year olds 😂
Tell not goin lie some person tell ourselves that too “you maybe my child BUT in a fee hours i get to give u to a teacher for 8 hours and get a break” 😂😂
One of my principals said to us "our parents send us the best they have." My district is the largest in my state (100K students) and every child gets free breakfast and lunch. Teachers are not allowed to buy lunches from the school. That being said....testing will be over next week, and I'm at the point where if they want to watch Holes (I teach middle school) for the 150th time...that's what we're doing. It keeps them quiet, and me sane. My last day of school tshirt says "I'm just here so I don't get fined..."
Just went to an iep meeting, at a very affluent HS in our district, with my bestie yesterday. The edu personnel was so toxic I wanted to flee. The end of the yr hell wasn't just the students. They want to give guns to these teachers & admin. I guarantee you school shootings would increase. No, the kids don't get off the hook. They were dressed like they were going to a strip club. I do not exaggerate, bikini shorts, bra tops, torn jeans in indiscreet places, boys & girls. The students were in charge & the adults look defeated. The adults are out numbered & the kids are out of control. The parents who entered saw nothing wrong with their toxic kids looking like the work the streets.
In my state it is normal for schools to be in session until the third week of June. This year the students' last day is June 22nd and the teachers' last day is June 23rd.
When our internet goes down, I'll use my phone for attendance and nothing else. I can't stand the redundancy of them knowing the internet is down then me getting a phone call or email from the front office that my attendance is missing in the system. "Really?! Let's synthesize, analyze, and inference why that is."
Head Start was one of the most challenging jobs I’ve had. Ten years at HS. The amount of must haves and must do’s was astronomically more than when I taught kindergarten in a title one school. The pay at my HS was just above the poverty line.
Yeah he's being serious. By time you get all the kids sunblock on and get outside you are annoyed that the temp is only allowing 10 minutes outside. I just did a conveyor belt with kids and sent them one at a time from the fence and then started the timer after the last kid is sunblock.
The students in my district also get free breakfast and lunch, but that’s because they are in a low income area. It’s Such a blessing though because when I was little some days I went without eating because I couldn’t afford it
My teacher back in elementary school Would take us outside when we had like work sheets and stuff and who ever did the worksheet got to the play in the ground it was so fun
We are going until June 8th with kids and I think June 11th for us teachers. My kids are just doing things they know better than to do. Things they wouldn't have done at the beginning of the school year. It's crazy.
On the last day of school a boy told a girl he didn’t want to be her friend anymore cause she was toxic and stuff. He said it very polite but the principal got involved and the boy had to serve dentition on the last day of school for simple telling the girl he didn’t want to be her friend
I hate how much money dictates every chance for these kids. Being in the music department saved my life in more ways than one. The band director I had from 6-12th grade became like a dad to me and was the one to catch what I was doing to myself before anyone else did. If I would’ve had to pay thousands to be in band my family couldn’t afford it, and I don’t know where I would be. I prob wouldn’t have even survived school. There are teachers who go above and beyond that make differences in their kid’s lives, and then there are the ones just there for a paycheck. Clearly you guys care or you wouldn’t speak out!
I'm glad Bri is back 😊

I so understand teaching in Florida when the AC goes out. There is nothing like it in the world. When they bring the kids otter pops before lunch you know it’s going to be bad.
We love you, Mr. Hamilton
It’s cool to see Casey on the podcast. I graduated college with him. Congrats on all your successes!
I am a new teacher (in Japan, of all places). This podcast is such lifeline. Our school year just started though.
I know the breaks and school year are different but how so?
You guys should feature some specialists (art, music, gym, etc) - would be interesting to hear their perspectives!!
I have always had “hidden” supplies for my poorer students, even famine supplies. I get paid under 37,000$ a year and have 4 children with a spouse that only works every few months. I still buy stuff including to decorate my classroom and the science lab. I also buy a lot of science stuff too. Even though I say I can’t afford anything.

As someone who gets the majority of their kids’ clothes from yard sales, including their winter coats, thank you for helping those families stay warm.
9 more days - i am in single digits! I am relieved. First year teacher. I have bought soo much for my classroom this year. And i went from a single person household to supporting a 2nd adult and a child in January. I am looking forward to a break. My income is spread over 12 months so I am able to do so but i am having a staycation
Bri and Gabe are the ultimate duo
This is the best podcast to listen to at 2am, on a school night of course.
You know when it’s the end when you refer yourself in 3rd person. “Yup Ms.Nelly is short now get back in line for lunch” 😂😂😂
It hurts to feel like you can't afford to help your students with a little snack or supplies, but I straight up can't afford my own snacks or supplies.
A teacher quit. Im subbing in a behavioral class. If I dont bring snacks there are epic meltdowns during the day. Some of the kids have bad food insecurity. The school does have bare bones snacks but some of them have sensory issues. Its a whole thing. If they are hungry everyone suffers. I spend a few dollars and everyones life is better. I cant afford not to bring in snacks.
I tell my kids that I will only give my snacks to the ones who actually ate nothing because I need to be able to feed my family too
FACTSSS!!!

I can’t believe y’all actually get to wait until 8 am to get to school! We have to be there at 7 am!
Brett, stop playing games are gonna put that Chromebook off the roof😂😂😂😂😂

I'm a school speech-language pathologist and relate to some of this. ❤
Me too! Definitely notice shorter fuses for ALL of us towards the end of the year. And we still have until 6/22!
@@peggytrummell3606 🥴 we are done on 6/7. Im in MD, where are you?
I am also Elmer’s glue. I’m all about the sun screen. I feel like with 2 kids I never stopped putting sun block on I can’t imagine with 20.
I work in a nursery in the uk, we're private so we dont close at all, its a lot but defo feel the burn out from bout February to July where we kinda get a bit more of a break cause lots of kifs on holiday and some finish up for starting primary school. Oh and the suncream on 20 children get it but make it 34 3-5 year olds 😂
We call one of our small closet storage rooms “the chokey “.
Tell not goin lie some person tell ourselves that too “you maybe my child BUT in a fee hours i get to give u to a teacher for 8 hours and get a break” 😂😂
My son's school is part of a program that allows them to continue providing free breakfast and lunch for all students.
One of my principals said to us "our parents send us the best they have." My district is the largest in my state (100K students) and every child gets free breakfast and lunch. Teachers are not allowed to buy lunches from the school. That being said....testing will be over next week, and I'm at the point where if they want to watch Holes (I teach middle school) for the 150th time...that's what we're doing. It keeps them quiet, and me sane. My last day of school tshirt says "I'm just here so I don't get fined..."
Just went to an iep meeting, at a very affluent HS in our district, with my bestie yesterday.
The edu personnel was so toxic I wanted to flee. The end of the yr hell wasn't just the students.
They want to give guns to these teachers & admin. I guarantee you school shootings would increase.
No, the kids don't get off the hook. They were dressed like they were going to a strip club. I do not exaggerate, bikini shorts, bra tops, torn jeans in indiscreet places, boys & girls.
The students were in charge & the adults look defeated.
The adults are out numbered & the kids are out of control.
The parents who entered saw nothing wrong with their toxic kids looking like the work the streets.
Great Video!!!
In my state it is normal for schools to be in session until the third week of June. This year the students' last day is June 22nd and the teachers' last day is June 23rd.
Sees tiktok. Goes to spotify to listen. Comes here to watch instead. Hey girl heyy
When our internet goes down, I'll use my phone for attendance and nothing else. I can't stand the redundancy of them knowing the internet is down then me getting a phone call or email from the front office that my attendance is missing in the system. "Really?! Let's synthesize, analyze, and inference why that is."
Head Start was one of the most challenging jobs I’ve had. Ten years at HS. The amount of must haves and must do’s was astronomically more than when I taught kindergarten in a title one school. The pay at my HS was just above the poverty line.
Mr Hamilton is funny af 😂😂😂
Bruh, I know it's the end of school when we end up with a new building, or they FINALLY give us a door to 1 of the door less stalls
31:23 IT’S $3.50 FOR LUNCH NOW?? I’ve only been out for 5/6 years & the highest it got was $2.25. Wow.
I’m in western WA and we have school until 6/22!
Anything on the school router is 100% accessible and can be read, including things from many many years earlier. Everything is saved on the router.
Yeah he's being serious. By time you get all the kids sunblock on and get outside you are annoyed that the temp is only allowing 10 minutes outside. I just did a conveyor belt with kids and sent them one at a time from the fence and then started the timer after the last kid is sunblock.
We got a countdown going in our classroom too! And I'm in a Special education classroom... you all have not been in a special education classroom
Ugh, we start before 7:30 am! The struggle is real! 😢😮😢😮
The students in my district also get free breakfast and lunch, but that’s because they are in a low income area. It’s Such a blessing though because when I was little some days I went without eating because I couldn’t afford it
My teacher back in elementary school Would take us outside when we had like work sheets and stuff and who ever did the worksheet got to the play in the ground it was so fun
Love them they are so funny!!
We are going until June 8th with kids and I think June 11th for us teachers. My kids are just doing things they know better than to do. Things they wouldn't have done at the beginning of the school year. It's crazy.
Good to know that the teachers experience the same hell as the students lol
Why do all of them have the most teacher last names ive ever heard 🤣
This is so good who else agrees ❤
On the last day of school a boy told a girl he didn’t want to be her friend anymore cause she was toxic and stuff. He said it very polite but the principal got involved and the boy had to serve dentition on the last day of school for simple telling the girl he didn’t want to be her friend
I hate how much money dictates every chance for these kids. Being in the music department saved my life in more ways than one. The band director I had from 6-12th grade became like a dad to me and was the one to catch what I was doing to myself before anyone else did. If I would’ve had to pay thousands to be in band my family couldn’t afford it, and I don’t know where I would be. I prob wouldn’t have even survived school. There are teachers who go above and beyond that make differences in their kid’s lives, and then there are the ones just there for a paycheck. Clearly you guys care or you wouldn’t speak out!
Count the weeks. The number is smaller 😂
