I gave my daughter's 4th grade teacher an emergency kit. It was a school pencil box and it had cough drops, lip balm, Tylenol, energy drink packets, a roll of tums, candy, gum and a gift card.
Oh that sounds so nice!
Bless your ❤️!
That's such a good deed I'm sure the teacher loved ut
I read it as your daughter and I was like “why would she need a gift card at school and for forth grade gum?!?”
Genius!
What teachers Really REALLY need is for parents to teach their kids to behave in the class room and respect their teacher.
🤣 Well if we're asking for magical things that are never going to happen, I'm asking class unicorn to the list.
THIS
Parents need to PARENT their children if they expect Teachers to be able to TEACH them
While I do think kids spend far too much time sitting down (at least then did when I was in school), I don't understand the screaming thing. I was not allowed to scream as a kid unless it was an actual emergency (and I usually didn't then, either). Screaming would not get me literally anything except told to "Shut up" and come back when I calmed down. It wouldn't get me attention. It wouldn't get me snacks. It wouldn't get me literally ANYTHING. What on Earth makes kids scream so much? (My backyard neighbors are raising a herd of banshees, I'm convinced. Gosh! All. Summer. Long. Seriously?!)
AMEN !!!!!
They do! I was taught to give everyone my respect. But when we have subs my class is extremely rude, EVERY CLASS, they will be like 5 kids who will behave and that’s if we are lucky!
Student: "Are you gonna die if you don't drink coffee?"
Teacher: "No, but you might."
😂
Solid! 😂
"And if admin walks in and wonders about the pillows, we will just call it flexible seating."
I spit out my drink. I love it! 🤣
Again, not allowed in school. Head lice.
@@catsinhouse my school allows it
This was my favorite part 🤣
My school had pillows and bean bags when I was still in school.
@@catsinhouse it is allowed if you follow proper sanitation processes.
You know she's a real teacher when she mentioned alcohol.
I once saw this bottle with a picture of a kid with a statement of "we think you might drink because of our kid, so here's a bottle on us"
I used other coping mechanisms
This woman understands my soul ☺️
I’m making a list of all the things you mentioned so I can give my kid’s teachers a back to school gift this year. After homeschooling last year I have a hole new appreciation for my kid’s teachers. Thank God for teachers!!! I’m so glad we’re going back in person this year 🥂🎉🎈
That’s super nice of you 💜 My sister is a preschool teacher.
That is amazing. Good for you!
I love to see your support ❤️👏🏼
Good idea..
B/c I've given my kids teacher a end of the yr gift basket every year for about 8 + yrs now. Nothing super special, but they've all were appreciative.
I am doing the same.
I don't have any kids but I think my next door neighbor is still a school teacher or she maybe a principal now, I am not sure. But I know she and her older sister both do some kind of work at school. They will both get a couple gift cards each. Starbucks and bath and bodyworks.
I mean...I homeschool two of my kids and I need almost all of this so I can't imagine a whole classroom of kids all day long. Keep the coffee and chocolate coming.
Same!!
Also add some cases of disposable water bottles to that list. Because there is NO WAY we are drinking out of the germ-filled water fountain or refilling our water bottles from home with that same fountain-infested H2O at school!
Right because nobody ani't drinking out of them water fountains anymore!
They need to take them out of the schools
Totally. They are already off limits for schools that have returned to in-person learning, due to the pandemic.
I'm a sub and thankfully more schools have started putting in those water bottle fountains. Those are the best because then you can reuse bottles without having to worry about germs from people's mouths.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 exuse me what if a child forgot their water bottle? Kids always use water fountains
@@Rigyang2000 im sure kids not drinking out of the fountain since the covid 19.
The parents need to make sure they pack bottle waters
I am not a teacher, but with what i deal with at home, I have a humongous deal of respect for teachers and can see this is a good list. For moms too 😂
"Are you gonna die without your coffee?' No, but you might."
That is definitely me in my classroom haha
How about many cans of Lysol so that I can spray some while I run around the room as soon as the students leave? We also need stock in throat lozenges after the first week back in class.
My school requires kids to choose between tissues, Lysol, or whipes to bring to school
Hell, yeah, throat lozenges. Sore throats and laryngitis all yr long!
One year for cold and flu season (long before covid) I put together a full kit for my son's teacher. Lysol wipes, Neocitron, sanitizer, the good 3 ply tissues ect) she loved it!
I have 100% gone to my car to nap on my prep period. Everyone knows when I "left something in my car" 😂
I just pushed my desk out of my room and installed a couch. My admin knows better than to question my motives, there aren't any available teachers for a 100 mile radius.
@@NoliMeTangere1163 😂
@@NoliMeTangere1163 Sounds like you're in demand. Do what you gotta do to stay sane
Don’t most teachers get paid to work during their prep period?
@@jonicole7762 probably but they don’t get paid for the extra 10 hours of work for marking, grading and creating content for kids to learn from
Been teaching for 33+ years and am so glad I have "Bored teachers" to help with the stress relief!! I love listening to all of you!! And hands down you got it girl!! God Bless and thank you!!!
What are the biggest differences between when you started and today. It seems like 1990 wasn’t too long ago but when you compare the ways kids are treated today... It’s like you may as well as started teaching in the ice age...
@benhaney9629 when I began teaching in 1997, the students were less spoiled and parents took the raising of their child more seriously; no cell phones, no automatic believing that their child's utterances as fact. The Administrators are still horrible, lots of belief for the lies, of the chronic misbehaver, as it is easier than standing up for the teachers. I have been teaching for 26 years and can't wait to retire.
Making a list. My kids are middle and HS now. I feel like those teachers needs some extra LOVE!
They do. Elementary teachers get all the stuff..and too many mugs....but MS and HS teachers don't really get anything. The parents are over it by then.
OMFG. I didn't even thing about anti-fatigue mats. I could get my daughter's teacher a couple where she stands a lot, that's a great idea. My district's teachers are underpaid and they deserve so much more 💔
I can't hear it anymore...teachers are underpaid. ....checkers are underpaid, retail help is underpaid, hairdressers are underpaid, accounting clerks are also underpaid etc. They all deserve more....so many hard working people not even making 40 K per year or not even 20K despite working full time. I know for a fact that dental assistants are also underpaid. They don't make enough to afford to live alone and are forced to shake up with room mates because of the cost if living....
After what I have seen recently going on on the school board meetings I am shocked about the number of nit so well meaning teachers the kids have to put up with. So quit whining. Teachers have it better than many other workers in othwr occupations.
Hats off to every teacher that is not abusing their position. You want Febreese....my coworker and myself had to keep perfume bottles in our desk cause Febreese was not cutting it for the foul smelling customers that would come into the office. They needed soap first.
As a middle / high school math teacher, I can verify that all these things are necessary and appreciated!
LOVE the "flexible seating" really great!!! My kids are long graduated and moved on with their lives. But I STILL pick up supplies and yummy stuff for many of the Teachers they had. Teachers and Nurses, the most underpaid, underrecognized ( if that is even a word). Profession that there is. They should be THANKED each and every day, for the INCREDIBLE things they do for us.💝your Teachers, and 💖your Nurses.MANY MANY Thanks to you all!!!!!
I love this lady in these videos! When I see that it is you , I click on it quick. Your personality is very relatable and you really get the struggle. I want to add one more turn a closet into a padded room so we can bang our heads against the wall.
As a retired teacher all i can say-- is So True!!!!1
As a student i had no clue the literal hell we put you all through. Love ya teachers!
I got a headache just thinking about those screaming kids
Chocolate IS the recommended remedy for dealing with dementors.
agreed
Hilarious and sooo true!! Next school year will be my 26th yr teaching Kindergarten and 28th at my school!! Pray for me, ha!!
Best supply list ever!!!!
when my kid is old enough for school im getting her gift cards to target or Walmart for her teacher so they can buy whatever they want or need
yes we teachers love gift cards!
Excellent idea - I love this teacher’s suggestions but you may not know your child’s teacher’s preferences, allergies, or medical issues that might mean they can’t actually use your gift. Not a concern if they’re choosing!
If I had a child, I would care for my teachers. After all, if not for the teachers, I would have to deal with home schooling them.
Don’t forget to give your teachers a BIG thank you .For all the work they do.💟
Bless all the teachers for putting up with our children... I will make notes when my child goes to school
Teachers are amazing and deserve everything on this list and more! You all do so much with so little, for so little. And lord knows every parent uses all/most of these things to survive... can't imagine having 30+ in a room.
My friend, I only hope plenty of parents are watching and LISTENING. You speak the truth!
I’m watching this to get ideas cause I’m making a gift basket/ bag for my 5 year old kindergarten teacher as a heads up apology in case she acts up. She should listen but just in case we’ve been talking to her and letting her know to give her teacher a easy time and be a good girl
Target and all these suggested products shoukd be sponsoring this video and giving her all the supplies she needs. Love these.
Friend! You Speak The Truth!!!😃
Not a teacher or a parent but I loved this video! Super funny but.... behind the laughter it's a grim reality to realize what teachers go through every day and what they need to get through it. Coffee + alcohol + chocolate = super unhealthy diet. I hope you teachers are eating right! Parents, please teach kids to respect their teachers and not give them a hard time.
Legit gives me an idea for a teacher's gift basket LOL
Kids: “Are you going to die if you don’t have it?”
Teacher: “No, but you might!”
🤣
Truth!!! I have about 30 people I need to share this with right now. LOL
shoutout to all my teachers who needed coffee/drugs/alcohol due to my #adhd . only when i became an adult and then a teacher did i realize what a handful i was!
Loving this channel!! I’m not a teacher, but I know why there’s a teacher shortage - You all deserve more money and respect.
Yassssss!!!! Just about everything on my list for my Teacher Bugout Bag!
I used to keep under my desk one of those rectangular plastic cake carriers filled with beach sand. At the end of the day, I’d slip my feet in the box and de-stress by pretending I was at the beach. 😎
I am a teacher and I endorse this message! :)
I am a HUGE fan - thank you so much = Im just gonna invite my Teacher friends over after school { on days when we arent too exhausted to have an actual adult conversation AFTER - school } and drink, laugh and commiserate about how much of everything you say is so DAMN TRUE !! . Peace and love from the Teachers in Berkeley/ Oakland, Ca xoxo
Oh my goodness! You are hilarious and you tell it like it is!!!! Teachers everywhere know exactly what you are talking about! 🤣
As a student, idk how y’all teachers deal with us. Thank you, for all you do. Have a great day/night everybody, stay safe out there, and God bless!!!!!!!!!!! :D❤️✝️❤️
After the housing crash, I spent 4 years as a substitute teacher. From that I learned that 1. I do not love teaching 2. Even without my own kids, I try to donate to nearby schools 3. Admin is more of a burden than any of the "actual" teaching 4. Admin needs to ask themselves how they can be more helpful--judging and assigning training is bullshit 90% of the time.
PREACH!!!
#3 is the TRUTH!!
90% is a low estimate...
One year I saw a large amount of file folders on clearance at Walmart. Big packs for 50 cent a pack. I bought 5 or 6 dollars worth and drove it to the nearest school. They looked at me funny- can't blame them. Didn't have any kids. But when I dropped them off and left I could hear them fighting over them behind me.... >.< Now that's broke.
I had a substitute for a whole year. She was 20. She was new. Imagine what nightmare year i had.
I love this woman. She is so funny and sooo right. 24 years in middle school here. Yes parents, your child is the reason we drink lol.
The not sitting part is sooooo true! I remember the absolute guilt I felt while I was 8 months pregnant and just had to finally give in and start sitting down sometimes. I just couldn’t do it any longer and decided that if admin walked in and said something to me about it I would just have to say ok tag you’re it because my back and feet can’t do this anymore. 😂
That's nuts...it's not healthy to stand all day and esp. when pregnant...a system that demands this is sick indeed. Glad our district hasn't gotten this totalitarian...yet. I'll wait.
You have the balls to say what I could never. I tip my hat to you, milady. Now that I'm not teaching anymore, I try to spoil the teachers who put up with my son. He has six teachers (including SPED and therapists) and he's in Kindergarten. He can be a handful lol
I'm school shopping for next year to take the stress out of September (which is also my son's 13th birthday month) and now I'm down a rabbit hole of your videos. Thank you, for all of the tips!
As a high school teacher, I LOVE this list!!! 😅😝🙌
My 5th grade teacher had a coffee machine in the classroom and before we would read our stories she would make a cup of coffee
Epic PSA for parents!😅
I get headaches from dehydration, but it’s either that or be in agony because I don’t have time for a potty break. My lunch is at 1:00-if I get one. Some days, we’re so understaffed that we eat with the kids and that’s our *break* for the day.
Former high school teacher here! 5000000 yeses to the air fresheners! Despite my efforts my 9th grade classroom had no window and always smelled like feet.
"might have to get us some of these (motions to diapers) if they don't give us more restroom breaks" speak it loudly!
I feel this deep in my soul! I’ve been teaching preschool for 33 years. Those little hands that are just learning the proper grip can’t even make a mark with a rose art crayon.
Headache medicine also works for that perpetual stress tension that I had in my neck. It finally went away here in the beginning of August.
I approve this list😂
During warmer months if you've ever walked into your kids room and noticed the funk, now imagine those hallways and classrooms after gym or recess! Especially in middle school when kids haven't quite figured out daily bathing and deodorant is a MUST! So a GIANT YES to the air fresheners!
I'm a teacher myself, but I am so doing this for my own kids teacher. This is brilliant and so true.
🤣 this was great! Bless all teachers. You have one of the hardest jobs on the planet. Sending you love and happiness. ♥️
Yeah for the whole list especially alchohol.
EMERGENCY CHOCOLATE!!!
I graduated from in-soles to crocs everyday all day, year round🙌🏽
Preach!
Also making a list for our twin's new kindergarten teacher! Great suggestions.
What teachers really need in order to survive not just the school year, but the actual calendar year (365 days) is to allow students more time for exercise during the school day. More exercise might help some (but certainly not all) students to focus better. If outside conditions are unfavorable for outdoor activities, do you think you can discuss with the principal or superintendent about having recess in the gym?
Many schools have to use the lunchroom as their gym because there is no separate gym. Yeah, that would be great, but recess time has been slashed to the bare bone bc administration has no clue what kids need, and they sure don’t give a shit about teachers’ sanity. There is no recess on any inclement weather day.
That's cute but recess is not important for the data lol. America has a problem with education and obesity.
You are correct but it isn’t the priority that it should be.
I love this lady! So funny! So entertaining.... and truthful! Lol
THE INSOLES!!!!!
Pro tip- those headphones you were holding, they suck. They’re cheap, and good quality, but they break after about a month. Won’t charge, wont connect to anything, etc. Speaking from experience.
Girl you make me wanna go buy all this for a teacher. 😆 loved this video
She’s like the grownup teacher version of kid president
I'm second week in summer break and finally got rid of the headache.
My last 4 years, I was an program coordinator. I kept a bowl of chocolate near my door for teachers. I could tell what kind of a day we were having by how fast the bowl emptied. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I worked in a Montessori school, one of the teachers I worked with would often go to the supermarket to pick up her lunch and would come back with dark chocolate filled with a praline mousse. I would sometimes get us some before I started work, and we would call it our medicine/survival rations. I bought her some for her birthday this year!
Honest to goodness one year one of my kids parents, who knew her child was a “little trying” gave me a large boxed gift at the end of the year. When I opened it up it was slightly smaller than a fishbowl wine glass with a large bottle of wine! They know!
YES!!!! This woman is PREACHING!!!
One of the schools I was on PTA for the teachers wanted to use the PTA funds for Keurig machines in each classroom and thre was a major fit thrown when we wanted to upgrade textbooks instead of keurigs.
Best teacher haul I have seen so far. Thank you, friend. Made me laugh about the pillows. I was thinking flexible seating before you even said it.
Oh see got real serious in that liquor section! Lol 😆🤭😆
Always appreciated teachers. ❤ You are the real deal! My sister was a teacher overseas for 7 years. I homeschool my 1st grade daughter and my pre-k age son now. Definitely need all the chocolate and all the coffee. My daughter is strong willed and a perfectionist like I was as a child. 😳
Flexible seating 🤣😂😅
The insoles! The real deal. My back, hip, and knee pain was about to drive me to cry, being on my feet on concrete for eight hours straight. Insoles are a life-saver.
Note to self. Make a care basket for first day of school containing these items
Hell yeah to every item!!!!
I'm taking this message to heart...thank you...added to my shopping list!
I would need the same list here in Brazil.🤭
It's universal..ha ha!
my boyfriend is a high school math teacher and this video just made me want to make him a little gift basket
Gurl, you are sooooo good at this. Are you a teacher? You must be. The tips were excellent. I am sharing them. You take care. Be safe. Be well. Nuff blessings all year through to all educators.
Actually, those are good ideas. Aside from the beer (ha ha), those would be great in a care package or Christmas gift for a teacher.
You are so funny!! I DREAD going back Monday!!! All of the things you mentioned are on point!!
The funk that follows them 😂
Why DO kids scream when they’re right next to each other?! I had a kid this year who screamed and hollered so much I have no IDEA how his throat wasn’t swollen and sore 24/7.
Thank you for this video! Now I know what to get my son's teacher for "Meet the Teacher" night!❤❤❤
💗 u … you are soooo right. Have a great school year. 😊
Very funny - she's a REAL teacher!
So true so true and I was a teacher's assistant for 10 years. Yes 😂 . Believe it or not I bought a case of cases of Red Bull and placed it in the teachers lounge and didn't say not a thing. Boy those teachers were so appreciative of all the Red Bull that was there. 😂
this made me laugh hard, but i totally shared it on my facebook because not only are a bunch of my friends from school teachers now, I'm also facebook friends with a few of my former teachers and i think they'd appreciate this video.
I feel so sorry for any teacher that will have my son when he starts. I think I’ll just buy everything you mentioned as a way of saying I’m sorry and lord help you.
