As a public school teacher with a doctorate in education my daughter (Autistic and ADHD) tried school a few months where I work- I happen to be popular with all grades and with parents - this is important- I put her in school where I work to keep an eye on her but also the person educating her. My daughter began to have outbursts and anxiety she is 5 in TK so I started keeping an eye on her and sending kids to keep an eye on her. One day I found out someone was picking on her calling her names at lunch because of her disability which her teacher always pointed out rudely to other kids they began touching her food throwing her lunch- again I have eyes everywhere so I know… finally my kid got frustrated and she pushed the mother fucker away from her food- no one had brought up all the incidents where she was getting bullied but the minute she pushed back her teacher was “concerned” and demanded I give up my lunch time to supervise my “aggressive” kid at recess. When I asked “was her behavior a response to your nasty students touching her food dropping it on purpose and making fun of her?” She goes “oh I wasn’t there I just heard..” I said “oh ok first of all fuck you. Secondly I have eyes everywhere including your class so I know what goes on in there with my kid. HR knows about your silver tooth favorite and how you use her to make fun of my kid.” She was too stunned to speak… I then said “sorry my kid is an inconvenience. Again, fuck you. She’s out.” I pulled my kid out unenrolled her and took her to my class for the day and then started homeschooling her. Ask me if she’s had outbursts… no she hasn’t she’s excelling she’s calm she is sleeping.. I wish I could put that TK teacher (she teaches 4-5 year olds) name on blast because she doesn’t deserve a credential.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 STANDING OVATION MAMA!! I am so so sorry your baby had to go through something like that and to have a teacher continue to poke at her in front of the kids is heartless. Good on you Mama! I’m so happy to hear that your baby is thriving!! So much loveeee!! 💞🥰
I have a doctorate in Education. The minute I found out the kids were SPECIFICALLY calling out my child for her disability, I burst into the principal’s office and let her know and then I drove to HR and told them too. I filed a complaint and there is an investigation currently.
As someone who works with students with disabilities and wants to be a teacher I am so upset that any teacher would let one of her students be treated that way and be encouraging it, SMH. It really gives a bad rep to teachers, especially when there are those who will and do genuinely care about their students well being. However, I am so glad your daughter is doing so much better and was advocated for by a great mom like you she is very lucky 🤍🤍 all the best luck 🫶🏼
Girl I understand u completely. I had a teacher tell me in 9th grade that I was a waste of space and waste of air. I literally had been molested in my home 3 yrs prior and had attempted to take my life several times before this and he pushed me over the edge. He damaged even to this day those intrusive words come into my head and I am 40 yrs old. It's heartbreaking the words that affect us. And these are educators around our growing children for a long time.
@yamilet7933 thank you and it has taken me a long time and many years in therapy to move on but those intrusive thoughts still get to me on my bad days. This is why it's so important that we choose our words wisely. Not everyone is meant to be an educator.
When i was in 10th grade my science teacher told me I had no future and to justdropout … those word honestly changed my life. I would skip school almost everyday especially his class. My gpa was a 1.2 and i was really considering dropping out at 16! Finally, I came to my senses and thought there is no way im proving this man right. I graduated with a 3.0 and am now about to receive a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Girl yes! I had a French teacher try to fail me because I broke up with her favorite student! Like what? I was tired of her failing me because she was being irresponsible with her grading, so I put her in her place in front of my whole class and told her I would go to the principals office, and that same day she changed my grades and pulled me aside after class and told me it was fixed. I was going through a lot at the time so I didn’t actually do anything about it but looking back it makes me so upset how she treated me because of a boy😂
I remember being in primary school and actually being scared to go to school on some days, and not just because of the kids, but also the teachers and teaching assistants. Now, as a 19 year old, I always want to make sure my brother who is 4 never goes through what I did. Despite what I went through, I would still like to become a primary school teacher, because children really are precious souls and have so much potential. Anyways, I really appreciate this storytime because it reminds me of my grandma (who recently passed away) and mum who are both the strongest women I know and always made sure I had more opportunities than they ever did
We homeschool our son. We are ending our second year. It was always something we thought of for him because my husband and I both had bad experiences with our grade school teachers. Sometimes it’s not kids that bully it’s the teachers! Not all of them are bad but it just takes one teacher to cause damage. Plus as a parent you know your kids best and how they learn. What best teacher for your kid than you? I know not all people have the luxury to homeschool but try if you can. You don’t have to do 8 hours a day like a classroom. My son and I do an hour a day. That’s really all they need or break it up throughout the day. We also have a huge homeschool group and we have park days. So that “how would he have friends” question is answered for those who think homeschool kids do nothing but stay home. My son has friends and other homeschooling parents offer co-op classes and we do nature walks. It’s the best! My son is free and is so happy and not stuck in a classroom all day being yelled at my a teacher telling him not to talk
My 9th grade Art teacher, Mr. Plumstead mocked my stutter relentlessly. Even after I told him I had a disability and I couldn't help how I spoke, he continued. I eventually had no choice but to stand up for myself and someone else in the class when he mocked her disability as well. All of this, and then some, went on. Some people are just NOT meant to teach.
My mom's a teacher and when I had issues in school, she would be in the meetings referencing the state education laws and the technical names of teaching methods. Them teachers didn't know who they were messing with but you f* around and find out🤷🏾♀️
I'm at the moment getting my degree to become a Spanish teacher. I am so worried about having students in my classroom that have behavior problems or other problems that may be too extreme to be in class. I have a full passion to teach all students, no matter who they are or the way they are born. I'm there to teach, guide and provide them with new strategies that can help them learn and cope with their problems such as disorders and disabilities. I just hope everything will go well when I become a teacher.
I am homeschooling. This fall will be my third year and my son will be in second grade. I love being able to tailor his curriculum and schedule to his learning style. With oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD it’s easier to be with him and let him have breaks when needed.
With this your mom demonstrated what being a boss and a grown woman looks like and you can tell that you got that from her by the way you carry yourself. i love you! ❤
We have come full circle!!! The original of this was the first video of yours I watched, in my childhood bedroom. I'm now 2 months away from graduating as a teacher 🤍 every child has potential and education is freedom. I hope no child gets down trodden by a teacher like you did and I'm so glad you proved him wrong 🤍
This makes me feel so sad bc I went through something similar with my 2 math teachers when I was in elementary school. I never told my mom until YEARS later. They would lie on me to get me in trouble at home and I’d get lit up by my parents so often bc of them lying and me never speaking up on their treatment bc I was so scared. To this day I have this odd fear of math bc of how bad my experience was with my teachers. I’m sorry you dealt with this
People always say “kids are gunna be socially awkward if their homeschooled” but that’s not always the case. I’ve met homeschooled kids that talk better than me and are conversationalist also you can always put them in academics around ur area so they can have friends. I hope to God I have the opportunity to homeschool my kids 😩
I agree tho I have a friend who's parents were shit at homeschooling. They never took him anywhere to make friends and he ended up developing depression and bad social anxiety due to being isolated so much. He told me he didn't have a "best friend" til after he graduated high school.
@@DanceLouisDance that's what's happening right now with my little sister. i went to public school k-12 but my mom pulled my little sister out two months into kindergarten (she started kindergarten the same year i graduated high school) because she kept getting sick. my sister would be in the 6th grade right now, and she hasn't gone back to public school. my mom isn't very responsible about her homeschooling, doesn't really teach her much, and does the same thing you mentioned where she doesn't take her anywhere to let her make any friends. her social skills are severely stunted and she tells me all the time she really wishes she just had some friends ://
Something similar happened to me. As a child I had a very active imagination. I’m class we had to write a short story. Rather than nurture my imagination my teacher decided to read out my story in front of the class and humiliate me. While as an adult I realise the story sounded ridiculous, at 8 it’s hurtful and harmful to have a whole class of your peers laugh at you. It’s something I’ve never forgotten.
I’ve had the same conversation with my partner when eventually we have kids we thought about homeschooling with a long list of activities to do like sports or other outside gatherings, but this just adds to the list of reasons .
When I was in college I had one professor who was very bitter and mean. My mother died a few months before I took this class and I was extremely depressed so I wasn’t participating much in class (on top of my usual quietness because I’m very introverted). We had a meeting and she brought up the fact that I didn’t talk much in class and she told me I was “never going to get anywhere in life if I didn’t learn to speak in public.” I ended up just walking out of the room and crying. It sucks that there are teachers at all levels that don’t actually care about the well being or mental health of their students.
i went through something very similar. when i was in 7th grade, my math teacher humiliated me every single day. i was never amazing at math, but i always tried my best. i also had braces and i was on the tennis team so i was getting checkouts here and there for orthodontic appointments or tennis matches. one day, i got a checkout and as i was packing up my stuff, she said “you know what grades you make in this class, you shouldn’t be leaving all the time.” that day, i stopped asking questions and talking. i just wanted to be invisible. even before that when i did ask questions she made me feel so dumb and unworthy. i had been telling my mom and she had emailed her numerous times asking for a parent teacher conference, but never got a response. my dad ended up going up to the school, had a meeting with her and the principal ON THE SPOT, and i never had any problems with after that. of course, she gave me attitude for ratting her out. turns out, she was pissed because she got moved to 7th grade “basic” (what she called our class) from 8th grade advanced math and she took it out on me. i am now a freshman in college, and i have never asked a question in class since.
I LOVE when you elaborate on super old stories!!! I have been rewatching your storytime playlist over the past week just to get me through work everyday and I LOVE your stories
I’m a 31 year old homeschooled mother of 5 who is also homeschooling her own children. My siblings and I were pulled out of PRIVATE school for an issue where a teacher was bullying my older sister. I 100% advocate for homeschooling, circumstance permitting. There is something so empowering to be able to teach one’s own children and know they’re safe. Most people worry about whether they’re qualified to teach their own children or if their children will be properly socialized. To that I say: we live in one of the most educated and interconnected societies in history. If you have a bachelor’s degree (which most people do nowadays), a car, and internet, there is no reason your children can’t be properly educated and socialized by their parent.
I'm a teacher and I totally understand where you're coming from. I would probably homeschool my kids if I had any at this point. The only reason I'm still teaching is because I'm in an international school and I'm working on going to teach abroad forever. The education system in the States is so broken right now and I don't know how we're going to fix it.
Girl I’ve been watching you for YEARS. since I was like 13 and you have never switched up 😭 I’ve watched RUclipsrs change up cause they let the popularity influence them and change up but you haven’t. You’ve stayed real and honestly, someone I grew up with and appreciate the way you look at life. I’m glad there’s people with common sense and stability around that also mentions God. With all love 😌
I am for sure homeschooling. I have 2 kids and 1 on the way. I was homeschooled k-12 and it was an amazing experience…no negative impact on my college education, if anything it helped me because I was a self starter already. My younger brother went to a private school and he had a terrible experience with teachers saying hurtful and nasty things to him. And it impacted his mental health into adulthood. You are driven, organized and intelligent. You would be an AMAZING homeschool Mama. I could totally see you leading co-op classes and setting up field trips tbh.
I’m a daycare teacher and work with 4-5 year olds so we have a hand in getting them ready for kindergarten and we always tell them how smart they are and compassionate/caring towards their friends etc. Seeing the smiles on their faces makes my day
I’ve never met Mama Glamour and even I know she is not to be tried, ESPECIALLY when it comes to her children! She does not play around when it comes to her babies!
I agree 100% with you. This is why I've been so adamant about being able to stay home with my kids. I do not trust strangers with my children and I think it sucks that it's so expensive to live now that more families don't have that option. Raising and teaching children is such an important and difficult job but it's deprioritized in a lot of areas because people are so focused on surviving and making money. I'm sure that most people are doing their best but being on social media also made me realize how many people seem to hate children which is wild to me. So you have to stay vigilant, lol!
Crazy story time Nikki, I am grateful that I grew up with teachers who poured into me and saw my potential when I didn't. ESPECIALLY in elementary, there is an influence we have the show Abbott Elementary because Quinta was influenced by her elementary teacher, they really deserve the world for what they have to go trough, caring for other people's kids, and actually leading the future generation. My parents raised me on respecting teachers and as someone who saw my middle school teachers boycott and protest for better pay, being in the middle of that.. I completely understand homeschooling
This has happened so many times, I can't remember when it first happened. I am Indigenous (First Nation Peoples). I am a fair native. It's not visible to the eye unless I bring it to people or to their attention or talk my native tongue. It doesn't matter how old you get. People will always put you in boxes or say you're one thing over another. God bless you, beautiful soul! ❤
I see people in the comments worrying about the social aspect of home schooling and while a reasonable worry, being able to monitor your children’s friends through taking them to their play dates/letting them hang with family, can be a blessing in disguise! Not to combat something negative with something MORE negative but in my country the rates of children acting up have been rising through the roof, and in my small town specifically I’ve heard a few cases of children who’ve been torturing (etc.) poor baby animals ☹️. I’m not sure if this is something common. But where I’m from I’ve never heard of stuff like this, especially not in my small area. I think some parents are letting school & the internet raise their children and there’s a lot of sick people out there we can’t protect our children from. While not a reason to completely isolate a child as with good parenting children won’t end up that way of course, I see home schooling as a benefit to the prevention of them socially deviating from what has been taught at home by associating with friends we can’t monitor from home. Again not a reason to homeschool as prevention isn’t always the cure but just another look at the “children will become socially awkward at home” stance (I also myself believe social awkwardness is a multifaceted issue, & isn’t all to blame on homeschooling every time, plenty of debilitating awkwardness exists in school children and plenty of social butterflies exist as homeschool kids)
One of the things that really messed me up as a kid was being so young and experiencing racism from my teachers. I’m Mexican(chicana) my first language was English, but so many of my teachers would treat me poorly and make remarks about me, in front of my face and say it was ok to others teachers because I didn’t speak English. This one coach was furious because he thought I was placed in his class(first day, I was sitting in the wrong area) he was yelling in the coaches office “did you put some Mexican in my class?!” I remember being so embarrassed and sick to my stomach. I would never tell my mom because she was like your mom and would have come up to my school ready to set fire to everybody. My son is in Kindergarten and I was so worried and anxiety ridden with how his teachers and faculty would deal with him, but so far he’s only had positive experiences and I’m thankful for it, but I’m still scared because we still have 11 years to go. So I just talk to him everyday how was your teacher treating you today and how were your friends treating you today. He’s happy at the end of the day, but I still worry.
I agree with you nikki ❤ i am homeschooling my autistic child. I don't need these schools and teachers putting things is my kids head when he already has enough to deal with , with his disability.
And as for socializing because some people think homeschool kids miss out, we actually don’t. There are plenty of local sports programs you could get your kids involved in, acting in plays, dancing, gymnastics, martial arts, art classes..... What have you. You could also get equated with other homeschool parents locally. Plan field trips. Hell my dad would take us fishing and call it field trip. Haha. So many great things you can do. Tons of stuff to get your kids involved in as well.
I'm late to this party, but I homeschool my 10 year old! I did so in kindergarten. Then she was in public school for a little while in 1st grade until covid hit, then she was doing the online thing on and off through 1st and 2nd grade. By the time she was in 3rd grade, her and all her classmates were so far behind. Plus she's got ADHD. So I was done. I homeschooled her last year for 4th grade and I'm doing it now in 5th. And I'll homeschool my son when he's old enough. These public schools are a WHOLE MESS right now. So many teachers quit during the pandemic and now they're hiring people who aren't even qualified because they just need a body in the room. And my kid got so far behind thanks to her adhd and the pandemic that I knew sending her back would just commit her to a life of being that left behind kid. NOT ON MY WATCH! She's thriving now with me at home, getting excited about learning, and I have the time to be one-on-one with her and help her with her struggles, and let her work ahead if she's finding things easy, etc. It's SO much better for her. Don't get me wrong, it's WORK! But it's worth it ❤
Girl, I've had teachers that I've had to HEAL from! I don't blame you. My future kids will be homeschooled too! Because you're right, these weirdos will straight up sow seeds into these children!
I resonated with this story so much. I’ve had more than a few incidents that have affected me. I was the same kind of student you were and I remember I got detention because I finished my homework the day of and turned it in. My family went to the school to talk to the teacher and her excuse was that when she tells the students to go home and finish their homework then they should do that. I don’t understand why individuals take on roles they clearly are unfit for.
I think that if the educational environment is distracting (bad teachers, bullies, lack or resources) from what kids are supposed to be there for , which is to learn then homeschooling is a great option. Some kids thrive with the independence, some kids can become unmotivated because they don't have the structure of a classroom. It is about what works best for the kids or just make sense for the family.
I had a teacher tell me she was glad I wasn’t going to be in her class next year 😅 all because my mom came to talk to her cause some boy was bullying me. This was years ago and I still think about the hurtful words she said to me. Words stay with you forever wether you realize it or not.
I love the new outro girl and i love this old story being told in a new perspective. You have always been one of my favorite storytellers/youtuber. Much love and God loves you to girl ❤ God bless you Mama❤
I’m homeschooling my kids this upcoming school year and I can’t wait. I’m nervous but I’m gonna suck it up and be the best teacher I can be for my kids 🎉
I'm gonna say this short to the point. My non verbal son with down surrendering was accused. His teacher and aid charged with assault and battery, neglect, and first degrees child abuse from what they did to him and a couple other kids. The damage they wrought had impact for years!! None of my kids have stepped foot in public education. This role isn't for everyone. For those that do it right, who for six years had the most amazing impact on him I humbly thank you.
As a teacher, I have witnessed everything you just talked about. Colleagues taking their personal frustrations out on the kids, not being there for the right reasons, speaking negativity into these kids and damaging their self-worth. It’s disgusting to watch and a lot of times there are no repercussions to the teachers that do it because they have seniority at the school and have been doing it for years. I’ve only seen one teacher fired for this behavior because he took it too far and wound up shooting a kid with a nerf gun and it hit the kid’s eye. The nerf bullet had a thumb tac in it so the kid had to get surgery and could have sued the school. School are CRAZY, these parents need to be diligent in keeping up with what is going on. I’m also considering teaching my kids myself when I have school-aged kids.
My sister is autistic and currently extremely sick and has so many problems with anxiety and we were told by the doctors that because of the continuous brutal bullying not only from the students in her class BUT THE TEACHERS TOO! She is now suffering because of how much stress and anxiety she had from the bullying and fear of going to school daily and she is now suffering from an extremely rare illness and literally suffering, and so because of this my sister has to suffer and live with this for the rest of her life, I really wish there were less cruelty especially in school and your teachers should be the ones protecting these children NOT bullying them and intimidating them and calling them out over things they can’t control in front of everyone!
Im HS, I had two teachers who had a thing going on too! Math and Science teacher. Math was married with kids and the science teach would tutor his oldest kid after school!!! They have use us to pass notes to each other. “Can you take this note to…” and we didn’t know until one day a kid read the note and it talked about how he had told his wife he was staying late, but he was really gonna meet up with her after school. Wife left him and he lived in his van until he married the science teacher 😬
I had a vice principal accuse me of being anorexic in 8th grade. I went to the principles office to get a detention slip (I was reading a novel during math class and teacher wrote me up for a Friday school----3 hour detention on a Friday & no school dance). She looked at me and asked what size jeans I wore, told me I looked sick, asked if she should call my mom, and then proceeded to hand me the slip out of a drawer filled with twinkies and junk food. It was so hurtful. I skipped my next class and cried in the locker room that day. Never forget.
I will be homeschooling my children as well!!! Had terrible experiences growing up and I don’t want to have to worry about my child’s elementary school getting shot up.
I agree with you. What you be told as a kid stay with you forever. When i was in school it was back in the day when it was a thing to wear capris you know the pants that go to your ankles. Well a teacher said to me "you cant afford pants that fit you? Only go to you ankles" & laughrd.i was so hurt i never wanted to wear those pants again my mom found out because duh why dont you want to wear what iv bought you.. she steped in and talked to school about it & he never said a word to me again. I was so little & still remember that i cant believe he said that. I pray my kid dont go thru no bs in school. Its a blessing to those that can home school. If you can do it do it .
If I had kids they would all be home schooled. My ex home schooled his kids (during the pandemic) and they started excelling at everything. They wouldn't pay attention at school and the teachers didn't help. One on one is the best way to teach your kids anything! Best decision ever! You won't regret it!
I’m not a teacher, but I do work at the front office. For myself, I don’t have to be a teacher to show these kids that they matter. I’ve seen so many kids (I work at an intermediate 12-14 yr olds) come in upset because of many reasons. A few of them confide in me because I listen to them. I also TALK TO them, not AT THEM. This is where a lot of adults fail these kids, they think “been there, done that” so you’re not going to get away with the attitude. It just takes sitting with them and talking to them, see what’s going on and try to help them. Instead, we’re pushing them away like their feelings don’t matter because they’re just being “kids/ teenagers”. We definitely have to do better with our kids.
I remember you told this story a while back. I like it. I'm gonna go back to school to get my masters in education. I'm nervous but excited. I want to help prevent rude teachers like that. 😊😇👍
I’ll never forget my teachers in middle school. Some of them where the absolute worst. One of them had a problem with the kids for years, and the kids and parents kept complaining about this man. He finally got fired after her slapped a kid in the face. He passed away a few months after that….
Hey Nikki! I graduated in 2022 and due to the pandemic I’ve seen both sides. I think I’m my early years if I was homeschooled that would have affected my social capacity. I think later on in highschool or middle school, online schooling programs like flvs, etc could be beneficial for accelerated learning and an early graduation, but elementary school at least should be in person. No whether you choose public or private is completely up to you, but just coming from a very recent student of the public education system, homeschooling can be beneficial but what age you start can really impact how much they know about the world and how well they’re able to interact with other people and other personalities in groups, etc.
Public school is very Trumatic for me too. I found that teachers took a personal turn when it came to me. I was always targeted and I never knew why but I remember this one time when I was in like kindergarten or first grade and I didn’t wear sneaker on a Tuesday I had boots on and Tuesday was the day for the gym so usually you would sit out all day and watch the other kids have fun but this day she decided that she was going to make me run around and do all the activities by myself in front of the entire class and laugh with the class at me. This was at independence elementary school in rock Hill South Carolina, and her name is Miss Brown and she is a PE teacher still to this day.
Girl I felt this in my heart 💔. My little brother has mild autism and he wanted to play violin, which he never had an issue with until he went into middle school. The teacher was so cold and rude to him because he had a disability and wasn’t the best violin player. Instead of trying to help him be better he would just belittle him in front of the class. My mom tried her best to speak with the principals and teacher but in the end my brother just gave up and quit his orchestra class 😞 sometimes these people just have a shitty personal life and project it onto their students. It’s sad but this is what we do without even realizing.
My FiRST grade teacher Mr. Gonzales made a little boy cry in front of the class because he didn’t understand his math. On the last day of school Mr. Gonzales blocked the door and didn’t let any kids leave until we kissed him on the cheek. And tons of other inappropriate things went on throughout the school year.
As a teacher I totally agree about speaking positively. There been moments when it is hard because there has been so much behavior issues. I will be lying if I didn’t get upset and frustrated with them. If I do I do apologize for it because like you said they are individuals. I always say they affect me as much as I affect them. I think homeschooling is a great option if you can do it. I thought when I have kids
As a teacher myself, I completely understand being worried or cautious. There are many laws in place to protect kids. And most teachers, if not all, go through alot of training about how to speak to children and what not to say. And then still many choose to do the wrong thing. Anyway I've always been passionate about teaching, but its even more important to teach kids to be good kind human beings
I truly do believe that teachers have to be passionate & love their job in order to be able to reach the next generation. They need to be patient with the students and help them any way they can not break them down. I get that teachers have a lot of their plate but we do appreciate the ones that do their job correctly and put their all into it.❤ That’s so disgusting what the teachers were doing at school grounds taking away your & your classmates time to learn. When your ready to enroll your kids in school or if you decide your good with home schooling them until graduation that’s YOUR choice & nobody else’s except your Husbands hehe. I love you Nikki been here since the long run I love to see you grow 🥰🥰🙌🏽 Take care God Bless
I remember when I moved to my third and final school I was in grade 8 (which by me is year 8 or form 1)and my new teachers tried so hard to build a relationship with me they all tried so hard to make me believe I was worth but I wouldn’t listen I was so hurt by those words of my previous teachers that I just could t take the thought of being bullied by my own teacher anymore
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was in 3rd grade, I'm 25 and working on my degree right now and I'm one semester away from being done.This degree has been seven years in the making, and I'm so concerned I'm going to complete the program, teach and not want to do it anymore. I'm scared for my future, for the safety of these kids, and it's not right. No one should go to school or work afraif that they may not come home. I'm genuinely consideriing becoming a homeschool teacher and when the time comes homeschooling my own kids. It's so terrifying.
These 2 weren't my teachers, they were my sister's. I didn't know at the time but they had always been this way. They were racist bullies to 2nd graders. Yup they were, there's no denying. One day, I'm not sure why but it was the only time my teacher needed these 2 teachers to take us in for an hour or so as a class. We come in, they have us read. They tell us to partner up and read with each other. Everybody instantly partnered up and I couldn't find anyone. I was 8, and I was nervous and shy because there was no one left to be my partner. My younger self didn't know what to do and was honestly scared for some reason. So I sat there quietly by myself while everyone had the comfort of having a partner and were able to perform the assignment. One of the teachers, Lord Farquaad, noticed I was just sitting there. Instead of asking to me personally as to why I wasn't reading and just sitting there. She immediately gets furiated looking at me, announces in front of the whole class (mind you it was 2 whole classes) and says, "Why aren't you reading?? Where's your partner?!" I sheepishly replied because not only was I already scared and embarrassed that I couldn't find a partner I told her that there's wasn't anyone else to partner up with. She says to me, again in front of everyone, "Oh..so you just sit there like a lump on log?" and then referencing me with her face with a dumbfounded look. The sheer shame I felt by that. That I couldn't intelligent think for myself at 8 years old to somehow just force my way into a pair something, that was so vile of her. It's so inconsequential to be so un-gentle with a kid over not finding a partner. It takes emotional intelligence to be kind, consider that it's a nervous kid without a partner that probably needs help. The fact that she had the future in her hands, little beings in her care and this is how she handled us...i would say she's worse than a lump on a log. And I just know I'm so much more than what she did to me as a young kid and that she's out there reaping her rewards somehow.
I feel you 100 percentttttt I was going to homeschool my son ….my teacher he was a really old man had a crush on me nd would make sexual remarks tooo me one day he followed me home nd I told my mom he got fired the day. Mind you he was always watching me go home I just never new. That school was just horrible they cared more about havin rips in ur jeans than actual learning . I had rips in my jeans nd the iss teacher would call me a hoochie mama just a lot of disrespectful names. like you never really know what’s going on unless ur kids tell you
I’m so glad I listened to the whole video before commenting on my thoughts about homeschooling 😅 I completely agree with you! If people are not passionate about helping children grow in a safe and healthy environment, they should not go into social services/education. Regarding homeschooling: I was homeschooled by my mom for 18 years and I will only say I wish she had set the “mom” versus “teacher” boundary better for the sake of our relationship. That would be my only piece of advice if you choose this route. There are great homeschool programs that include a Child’s Bill of Rights so you can safely homeschool 😊 Sometimes parents want to homeschool as a trigger response to things in the news, and they don’t consider the cons of homeschooling (there are many!)
girl your story reminds me so much thinking at a age when i had a speech impediment and i had a speech teacher name mrs.Duffy she was a really nice teacher to me one day i was crying about something she made me feel better i also to had anxiety and learning ability with speaking up and i was a very quite lil kid i feel like i regret of being a what they so called favorite student out of all my classes now looking back i was always a student that stayed getting yelled at i was used to it for a while until one day i got tayed of it everyday cause i never took advantage of being bad towards others some teachers i knew were real meaner and one of em was my very first grade teacher out of all of them she was not nice not once she would mostly yelled at me for nothing for the little things i remember and my feelings would be hurt and that was probably one of my sad moments being treated as a student i never transferred schools but passed up to the next grades i had mostly nicer teachers as well i knew not only me but my sisters and my brothers and i also have too lil brothers they had difficult abilities like me to they felt the same way i did they would go the same speech class like me almost everyday they were in the same other class like me out of all my regular classes cause i'am the oldest after a while i remember things started changing my mama she would talked to the teachers at times about me just to help me and my sisters and brothers and one day my teachers they started puting sweet on towards me out of mostly my classmates i was so confuse and i come to realize these teachers or not getting the amount of paying money i remember you talking about this in your O.G story and it happens to other kids as well i always thought i was the only one for years all the time i'm so glad they considered homeschooling for kids this year
Ooooooh girrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllll, this hits HARDDDDDDD.... Now being a new mum myself I struggle thinking about putting her into school because of these types of things... I just know that I will put my all into creating her to be the best her she can be so that no one can diminish her self worth 💖💖💖 forever a Glamazon with my mini Glamazon
My husband and I are also debating homeschooling. It’s hard being a parent right now. There’s so much up in the air that it’s difficult to decide what’s the right decision for us. Sending all the other fellow parents love 💗❤💙💜💚💛
My 6th grade teacher laughed at my science project while I was presenting it in front of the class and literally told me I couldn’t have done that myself tagt broke me to pieces 💔😞 fast forward a couple years later that same teacher was charged for messing with one 20:56 of her 6th grade boys…
When my daughter was pregnant, I asked her if she would let my granddaughter go to a Christian school and I would pay for it. Thank the good Lord she agreed because I could not imagine my granddaughter going to a public school, especially in California!
In 6th grade I had a teacher who used to tell us ALL the time that we were never going to amount to anything and would be flipping burgers at Burger King because we didn’t know something. It was so over used that we all eventually just ignored him but it was the saddest thing because you could tell we were all really effected by him for a while.
In the middle of year 8 I stopped school and started home school and I realised my true capabilities because I tried. My teachers spoke nothing but good onto me and told me yes i have issues yes I’m lazy but if I tried I would be unstoppable and they were right. In my igcse exams which is like the sat for you guys I topped all 7 of my subjects with A stars all 99 percent the first ever to do so where I live that to while being a private student.
If y’all are OG’s she’s talked about this before and I’m happy to hear about this 🙈🙈🙈🙈
As soon as she said mister stone and Daniella, I was like SHE TOLD US ABOUT THEIR MESSY ASSESSSS
My exact thought!!!!!
@@raysquiggz I was like omggg I loved this story
Yes i remember! "My messy teachers"
lmaoo yuppp true ogs remember !!
As a public school teacher with a doctorate in education my daughter (Autistic and ADHD) tried school a few months where I work- I happen to be popular with all grades and with parents - this is important- I put her in school where I work to keep an eye on her but also the person educating her. My daughter began to have outbursts and anxiety she is 5 in TK so I started keeping an eye on her and sending kids to keep an eye on her. One day I found out someone was picking on her calling her names at lunch because of her disability which her teacher always pointed out rudely to other kids they began touching her food throwing her lunch- again I have eyes everywhere so I know… finally my kid got frustrated and she pushed the mother fucker away from her food- no one had brought up all the incidents where she was getting bullied but the minute she pushed back her teacher was “concerned” and demanded I give up my lunch time to supervise my “aggressive” kid at recess. When I asked “was her behavior a response to your nasty students touching her food dropping it on purpose and making fun of her?” She goes “oh I wasn’t there I just heard..” I said “oh ok first of all fuck you. Secondly I have eyes everywhere including your class so I know what goes on in there with my kid. HR knows about your silver tooth favorite and how you use her to make fun of my kid.” She was too stunned to speak… I then said “sorry my kid is an inconvenience. Again, fuck you. She’s out.” I pulled my kid out unenrolled her and took her to my class for the day and then started homeschooling her. Ask me if she’s had outbursts… no she hasn’t she’s excelling she’s calm she is sleeping.. I wish I could put that TK teacher (she teaches 4-5 year olds) name on blast because she doesn’t deserve a credential.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 STANDING OVATION MAMA!! I am so so sorry your baby had to go through something like that and to have a teacher continue to poke at her in front of the kids is heartless. Good on you Mama! I’m so happy to hear that your baby is thriving!! So much loveeee!! 💞🥰
Thank you so much! My kids are UNTOUCHABLE! Follow your heart and your mama instincts when it comes to educating your babies!!! 🤍🤍🤍
As a person who also has a disability the teacher is never supposed to publicly disclose that to anybody let alone in front of a classroom
I have a doctorate in Education. The minute I found out the kids were SPECIFICALLY calling out my child for her disability, I burst into the principal’s office and let her know and then I drove to HR and told them too. I filed a complaint and there is an investigation currently.
As someone who works with students with disabilities and wants to be a teacher I am so upset that any teacher would let one of her students be treated that way and be encouraging it, SMH. It really gives a bad rep to teachers, especially when there are those who will and do genuinely care about their students well being. However, I am so glad your daughter is doing so much better and was advocated for by a great mom like you she is very lucky 🤍🤍 all the best luck 🫶🏼
Girl I understand u completely. I had a teacher tell me in 9th grade that I was a waste of space and waste of air. I literally had been molested in my home 3 yrs prior and had attempted to take my life several times before this and he pushed me over the edge. He damaged even to this day those intrusive words come into my head and I am 40 yrs old. It's heartbreaking the words that affect us. And these are educators around our growing children for a long time.
🤗🫶🏼
i hope that teacher dies in hell. i’m very sorry ab all that that happened to you and i really hope you’ve overcome those words ❤️
@yamilet7933 thank you and it has taken me a long time and many years in therapy to move on but those intrusive thoughts still get to me on my bad days. This is why it's so important that we choose our words wisely. Not everyone is meant to be an educator.
@gabiravioli5075 thank you 💕
@@lalizscorpio82 you’re absolutely correct. i’m very glad you overcame those hurtful words. you never deserved to hear them in the first place. 🩷
Your mom is truly a ride or die❤some parents really be believing the teachers and adults over their own kids
My mom needs to read this.
facts.
My mom lol. I was so gaslit it’s taken years to realize I had a whole adult picking on me as a 5 year old.
It sucks
When i was in 10th grade my science teacher told me I had no future and to justdropout … those word honestly changed my life. I would skip school almost everyday especially his class. My gpa was a 1.2 and i was really considering dropping out at 16! Finally, I came to my senses and thought there is no way im proving this man right. I graduated with a 3.0 and am now about to receive a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Girl yes! I had a French teacher try to fail me because I broke up with her favorite student! Like what? I was tired of her failing me because she was being irresponsible with her grading, so I put her in her place in front of my whole class and told her I would go to the principals office, and that same day she changed my grades and pulled me aside after class and told me it was fixed. I was going through a lot at the time so I didn’t actually do anything about it but looking back it makes me so upset how she treated me because of a boy😂
Girl I did homeschool through a academy it was the best decision in our life. They graduated two years early. Sending kids to school is scary
HOMESCHOOL YOUR KIDS! I’m here for it! School isn’t a safe place no more!
I remember being in primary school and actually being scared to go to school on some days, and not just because of the kids, but also the teachers and teaching assistants. Now, as a 19 year old, I always want to make sure my brother who is 4 never goes through what I did. Despite what I went through, I would still like to become a primary school teacher, because children really are precious souls and have so much potential.
Anyways, I really appreciate this storytime because it reminds me of my grandma (who recently passed away) and mum who are both the strongest women I know and always made sure I had more opportunities than they ever did
We homeschool our son. We are ending our second year. It was always something we thought of for him because my husband and I both had bad experiences with our grade school teachers. Sometimes it’s not kids that bully it’s the teachers! Not all of them are bad but it just takes one teacher to cause damage. Plus as a parent you know your kids best and how they learn. What best teacher for your kid than you? I know not all people have the luxury to homeschool but try if you can. You don’t have to do 8 hours a day like a classroom. My son and I do an hour a day. That’s really all they need or break it up throughout the day. We also have a huge homeschool group and we have park days. So that “how would he have friends” question is answered for those who think homeschool kids do nothing but stay home. My son has friends and other homeschooling parents offer co-op classes and we do nature walks. It’s the best! My son is free and is so happy and not stuck in a classroom all day being yelled at my a teacher telling him not to talk
Your kids are so blessed to have you as their mother and have ur mom as their grandmother. You’re raising such strong individuals, Nikki. WE LOVE YOU
My 9th grade Art teacher, Mr. Plumstead mocked my stutter relentlessly. Even after I told him I had a disability and I couldn't help how I spoke, he continued. I eventually had no choice but to stand up for myself and someone else in the class when he mocked her disability as well. All of this, and then some, went on. Some people are just NOT meant to teach.
@Denise thank you 😩
My mom's a teacher and when I had issues in school, she would be in the meetings referencing the state education laws and the technical names of teaching methods. Them teachers didn't know who they were messing with but you f* around and find out🤷🏾♀️
I'm at the moment getting my degree to become a Spanish teacher. I am so worried about having students in my classroom that have behavior problems or other problems that may be too extreme to be in class. I have a full passion to teach all students, no matter who they are or the way they are born. I'm there to teach, guide and provide them with new strategies that can help them learn and cope with their problems such as disorders and disabilities. I just hope everything will go well when I become a teacher.
I am homeschooling. This fall will be my third year and my son will be in second grade. I love being able to tailor his curriculum and schedule to his learning style. With oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD it’s easier to be with him and let him have breaks when needed.
With this your mom demonstrated what being a boss and a grown woman looks like and you can tell that you got that from her by the way you carry yourself. i love you! ❤
We have come full circle!!! The original of this was the first video of yours I watched, in my childhood bedroom. I'm now 2 months away from graduating as a teacher 🤍
every child has potential and education is freedom. I hope no child gets down trodden by a teacher like you did and I'm so glad you proved him wrong 🤍
WOW !! awesome i watched the same video tooo, im in my jr year in highschool, hoping to go into teaching for this EXACT reason
This makes me feel so sad bc I went through something similar with my 2 math teachers when I was in elementary school. I never told my mom until YEARS later. They would lie on me to get me in trouble at home and I’d get lit up by my parents so often bc of them lying and me never speaking up on their treatment bc I was so scared. To this day I have this odd fear of math bc of how bad my experience was with my teachers. I’m sorry you dealt with this
People always say “kids are gunna be socially awkward if their homeschooled” but that’s not always the case. I’ve met homeschooled kids that talk better than me and are conversationalist also you can always put them in academics around ur area so they can have friends. I hope to God I have the opportunity to homeschool my kids 😩
I agree tho I have a friend who's parents were shit at homeschooling. They never took him anywhere to make friends and he ended up developing depression and bad social anxiety due to being isolated so much. He told me he didn't have a "best friend" til after he graduated high school.
@@DanceLouisDance that's what's happening right now with my little sister. i went to public school k-12 but my mom pulled my little sister out two months into kindergarten (she started kindergarten the same year i graduated high school) because she kept getting sick. my sister would be in the 6th grade right now, and she hasn't gone back to public school. my mom isn't very responsible about her homeschooling, doesn't really teach her much, and does the same thing you mentioned where she doesn't take her anywhere to let her make any friends. her social skills are severely stunted and she tells me all the time she really wishes she just had some friends ://
If yall wanna hear more about these teachers she has a storytime called My Messy Teachers and she goes IN 😌😂🫢🖤
Something similar happened to me. As a child I had a very active imagination. I’m class we had to write a short story. Rather than nurture my imagination my teacher decided to read out my story in front of the class and humiliate me. While as an adult I realise the story sounded ridiculous, at 8 it’s hurtful and harmful to have a whole class of your peers laugh at you. It’s something I’ve never forgotten.
I’ve had the same conversation with my partner when eventually we have kids we thought about homeschooling with a long list of activities to do like sports or other outside gatherings, but this just adds to the list of reasons .
When I was in college I had one professor who was very bitter and mean. My mother died a few months before I took this class and I was extremely depressed so I wasn’t participating much in class (on top of my usual quietness because I’m very introverted). We had a meeting and she brought up the fact that I didn’t talk much in class and she told me I was “never going to get anywhere in life if I didn’t learn to speak in public.” I ended up just walking out of the room and crying. It sucks that there are teachers at all levels that don’t actually care about the well being or mental health of their students.
i went through something very similar. when i was in 7th grade, my math teacher humiliated me every single day. i was never amazing at math, but i always tried my best. i also had braces and i was on the tennis team so i was getting checkouts here and there for orthodontic appointments or tennis matches. one day, i got a checkout and as i was packing up my stuff, she said “you know what grades you make in this class, you shouldn’t be leaving all the time.” that day, i stopped asking questions and talking. i just wanted to be invisible. even before that when i did ask questions she made me feel so dumb and unworthy. i had been telling my mom and she had emailed her numerous times asking for a parent teacher conference, but never got a response. my dad ended up going up to the school, had a meeting with her and the principal ON THE SPOT, and i never had any problems with after that. of course, she gave me attitude for ratting her out. turns out, she was pissed because she got moved to 7th grade “basic” (what she called our class) from 8th grade advanced math and she took it out on me. i am now a freshman in college, and i have never asked a question in class since.
I LOVE when you elaborate on super old stories!!! I have been rewatching your storytime playlist over the past week just to get me through work everyday and I LOVE your stories
I’m a 31 year old homeschooled mother of 5 who is also homeschooling her own children. My siblings and I were pulled out of PRIVATE school for an issue where a teacher was bullying my older sister. I 100% advocate for homeschooling, circumstance permitting. There is something so empowering to be able to teach one’s own children and know they’re safe. Most people worry about whether they’re qualified to teach their own children or if their children will be properly socialized. To that I say: we live in one of the most educated and interconnected societies in history. If you have a bachelor’s degree (which most people do nowadays), a car, and internet, there is no reason your children can’t be properly educated and socialized by their parent.
I'm a teacher and I totally understand where you're coming from. I would probably homeschool my kids if I had any at this point. The only reason I'm still teaching is because I'm in an international school and I'm working on going to teach abroad forever. The education system in the States is so broken right now and I don't know how we're going to fix it.
Girl I’ve been watching you for YEARS. since I was like 13 and you have never switched up 😭 I’ve watched RUclipsrs change up cause they let the popularity influence them and change up but you haven’t. You’ve stayed real and honestly, someone I grew up with and appreciate the way you look at life. I’m glad there’s people with common sense and stability around that also mentions God. With all love 😌
Girl preach! Those words at the end are so powerful!
I am for sure homeschooling. I have 2 kids and 1 on the way. I was homeschooled k-12 and it was an amazing experience…no negative impact on my college education, if anything it helped me because I was a self starter already.
My younger brother went to a private school and he had a terrible experience with teachers saying hurtful and nasty things to him. And it impacted his mental health into adulthood.
You are driven, organized and intelligent. You would be an AMAZING homeschool Mama. I could totally see you leading co-op classes and setting up field trips tbh.
If your an OG you know this story 🥰
yesss❤
I’m a daycare teacher and work with 4-5 year olds so we have a hand in getting them ready for kindergarten and we always tell them how smart they are and compassionate/caring towards their friends etc. Seeing the smiles on their faces makes my day
I’ve never met Mama Glamour and even I know she is not to be tried, ESPECIALLY when it comes to her children! She does not play around when it comes to her babies!
I agree 100% with you. This is why I've been so adamant about being able to stay home with my kids. I do not trust strangers with my children and I think it sucks that it's so expensive to live now that more families don't have that option. Raising and teaching children is such an important and difficult job but it's deprioritized in a lot of areas because people are so focused on surviving and making money. I'm sure that most people are doing their best but being on social media also made me realize how many people seem to hate children which is wild to me. So you have to stay vigilant, lol!
Crazy story time Nikki, I am grateful that I grew up with teachers who poured into me and saw my potential when I didn't. ESPECIALLY in elementary, there is an influence we have the show Abbott Elementary because Quinta was influenced by her elementary teacher, they really deserve the world for what they have to go trough, caring for other people's kids, and actually leading the future generation. My parents raised me on respecting teachers and as someone who saw my middle school teachers boycott and protest for better pay, being in the middle of that.. I completely understand homeschooling
This has happened so many times, I can't remember when it first happened. I am Indigenous (First Nation Peoples). I am a fair native. It's not visible to the eye unless I bring it to people or to their attention or talk my native tongue. It doesn't matter how old you get. People will always put you in boxes or say you're one thing over another. God bless you, beautiful soul! ❤
I see people in the comments worrying about the social aspect of home schooling and while a reasonable worry, being able to monitor your children’s friends through taking them to their play dates/letting them hang with family, can be a blessing in disguise! Not to combat something negative with something MORE negative but in my country the rates of children acting up have been rising through the roof, and in my small town specifically I’ve heard a few cases of children who’ve been torturing (etc.) poor baby animals ☹️. I’m not sure if this is something common. But where I’m from I’ve never heard of stuff like this, especially not in my small area. I think some parents are letting school & the internet raise their children and there’s a lot of sick people out there we can’t protect our children from. While not a reason to completely isolate a child as with good parenting children won’t end up that way of course, I see home schooling as a benefit to the prevention of them socially deviating from what has been taught at home by associating with friends we can’t monitor from home. Again not a reason to homeschool as prevention isn’t always the cure but just another look at the “children will become socially awkward at home” stance (I also myself believe social awkwardness is a multifaceted issue, & isn’t all to blame on homeschooling every time, plenty of debilitating awkwardness exists in school children and plenty of social butterflies exist as homeschool kids)
One of the things that really messed me up as a kid was being so young and experiencing racism from my teachers. I’m Mexican(chicana) my first language was English, but so many of my teachers would treat me poorly and make remarks about me, in front of my face and say it was ok to others teachers because I didn’t speak English. This one coach was furious because he thought I was placed in his class(first day, I was sitting in the wrong area) he was yelling in the coaches office “did you put some Mexican in my class?!”
I remember being so embarrassed and sick to my stomach. I would never tell my mom because she was like your mom and would have come up to my school ready to set fire to everybody.
My son is in Kindergarten and I was so worried and anxiety ridden with how his teachers and faculty would deal with him, but so far he’s only had positive experiences and I’m thankful for it, but I’m still scared because we still have 11 years to go. So I just talk to him everyday how was your teacher treating you today and how were your friends treating you today. He’s happy at the end of the day, but I still worry.
I agree with you nikki ❤ i am homeschooling my autistic child. I don't need these schools and teachers putting things is my kids head when he already has enough to deal with , with his disability.
“If you go low, I’ll go lower.” Beachhhhhhhhh, why is that my whole personality 😂😂😂😂😂
And as for socializing because some people think homeschool kids miss out, we actually don’t. There are plenty of local sports programs you could get your kids involved in, acting in plays, dancing, gymnastics, martial arts, art classes..... What have you. You could also get equated with other homeschool parents locally. Plan field trips. Hell my dad would take us fishing and call it field trip. Haha. So many great things you can do. Tons of stuff to get your kids involved in as well.
I'm late to this party, but I homeschool my 10 year old! I did so in kindergarten. Then she was in public school for a little while in 1st grade until covid hit, then she was doing the online thing on and off through 1st and 2nd grade. By the time she was in 3rd grade, her and all her classmates were so far behind. Plus she's got ADHD. So I was done. I homeschooled her last year for 4th grade and I'm doing it now in 5th. And I'll homeschool my son when he's old enough. These public schools are a WHOLE MESS right now. So many teachers quit during the pandemic and now they're hiring people who aren't even qualified because they just need a body in the room. And my kid got so far behind thanks to her adhd and the pandemic that I knew sending her back would just commit her to a life of being that left behind kid. NOT ON MY WATCH! She's thriving now with me at home, getting excited about learning, and I have the time to be one-on-one with her and help her with her struggles, and let her work ahead if she's finding things easy, etc. It's SO much better for her. Don't get me wrong, it's WORK! But it's worth it ❤
Girl, I've had teachers that I've had to HEAL from! I don't blame you. My future kids will be homeschooled too! Because you're right, these weirdos will straight up sow seeds into these children!
Yess girl 🙌🏼 I always tell my kids they’re smart brilliant beautiful handsome. Cuz there are people who can be just so mean to them 🤦🏻♀️
I resonated with this story so much. I’ve had more than a few incidents that have affected me. I was the same kind of student you were and I remember I got detention because I finished my homework the day of and turned it in. My family went to the school to talk to the teacher and her excuse was that when she tells the students to go home and finish their homework then they should do that. I don’t understand why individuals take on roles they clearly are unfit for.
I think that if the educational environment is distracting (bad teachers, bullies, lack or resources) from what kids are supposed to be there for , which is to learn then homeschooling is a great option. Some kids thrive with the independence, some kids can become unmotivated because they don't have the structure of a classroom. It is about what works best for the kids or just make sense for the family.
I had a teacher tell me she was glad I wasn’t going to be in her class next year 😅 all because my mom came to talk to her cause some boy was bullying me. This was years ago and I still think about the hurtful words she said to me. Words stay with you forever wether you realize it or not.
Girlll you have told us part of this story B4 but that's wild!!!
I love the new outro girl and i love this old story being told in a new perspective. You have always been one of my favorite storytellers/youtuber. Much love and God loves you to girl ❤ God bless you Mama❤
I’m homeschooling my boys and I don’t give a 💩 what anyone says about it. My kids cry whenever I tell them I’m sending them to public school again 😅
I’m homeschooling my kids this upcoming school year and I can’t wait. I’m nervous but I’m gonna suck it up and be the best teacher I can be for my kids 🎉
I'm gonna say this short to the point. My non verbal son with down surrendering was accused. His teacher and aid charged with assault and battery, neglect, and first degrees child abuse from what they did to him and a couple other kids. The damage they wrought had impact for years!! None of my kids have stepped foot in public education. This role isn't for everyone. For those that do it right, who for six years had the most amazing impact on him I humbly thank you.
As a teacher, I have witnessed everything you just talked about. Colleagues taking their personal frustrations out on the kids, not being there for the right reasons, speaking negativity into these kids and damaging their self-worth. It’s disgusting to watch and a lot of times there are no repercussions to the teachers that do it because they have seniority at the school and have been doing it for years. I’ve only seen one teacher fired for this behavior because he took it too far and wound up shooting a kid with a nerf gun and it hit the kid’s eye. The nerf bullet had a thumb tac in it so the kid had to get surgery and could have sued the school. School are CRAZY, these parents need to be diligent in keeping up with what is going on. I’m also considering teaching my kids myself when I have school-aged kids.
My sister is autistic and currently extremely sick and has so many problems with anxiety and we were told by the doctors that because of the continuous brutal bullying not only from the students in her class BUT THE TEACHERS TOO! She is now suffering because of how much stress and anxiety she had from the bullying and fear of going to school daily and she is now suffering from an extremely rare illness and literally suffering, and so because of this my sister has to suffer and live with this for the rest of her life, I really wish there were less cruelty especially in school and your teachers should be the ones protecting these children NOT bullying them and intimidating them and calling them out over things they can’t control in front of everyone!
Im HS, I had two teachers who had a thing going on too! Math and Science teacher. Math was married with kids and the science teach would tutor his oldest kid after school!!! They have use us to pass notes to each other. “Can you take this note to…” and we didn’t know until one day a kid read the note and it talked about how he had told his wife he was staying late, but he was really gonna meet up with her after school. Wife left him and he lived in his van until he married the science teacher 😬
I had a flight from LAX with a layover to denver on Thursday. Flying over denver & Landing, I was like omg my girl Nikki is here somewhere ❤
Right as I’m about to start my shift I get this lovely notification but will have to wait til lunch to watch
girl....when you said the classes would merge together.....I ALREADY KNEW THE ENDING!!!! I KNEW IT!!!
I had a vice principal accuse me of being anorexic in 8th grade. I went to the principles office to get a detention slip (I was reading a novel during math class and teacher wrote me up for a Friday school----3 hour detention on a Friday & no school dance). She looked at me and asked what size jeans I wore, told me I looked sick, asked if she should call my mom, and then proceeded to hand me the slip out of a drawer filled with twinkies and junk food. It was so hurtful. I skipped my next class and cried in the locker room that day. Never forget.
I will be homeschooling my children as well!!! Had terrible experiences growing up and I don’t want to have to worry about my child’s elementary school getting shot up.
I agree with you. What you be told as a kid stay with you forever. When i was in school it was back in the day when it was a thing to wear capris you know the pants that go to your ankles. Well a teacher said to me "you cant afford pants that fit you? Only go to you ankles" & laughrd.i was so hurt i never wanted to wear those pants again my mom found out because duh why dont you want to wear what iv bought you.. she steped in and talked to school about it & he never said a word to me again. I was so little & still remember that i cant believe he said that. I pray my kid dont go thru no bs in school. Its a blessing to those that can home school. If you can do it do it .
If I had kids they would all be home schooled. My ex home schooled his kids (during the pandemic) and they started excelling at everything. They wouldn't pay attention at school and the teachers didn't help. One on one is the best way to teach your kids anything! Best decision ever! You won't regret it!
The second I heard Mr Stone I screamed "I remember this!!!"
Words cut so deep especially at such a young age! 😢
I’m not a teacher, but I do work at the front office. For myself, I don’t have to be a teacher to show these kids that they matter. I’ve seen so many kids (I work at an intermediate 12-14 yr olds) come in upset because of many reasons. A few of them confide in me because I listen to them. I also TALK TO them, not AT THEM. This is where a lot of adults fail these kids, they think “been there, done that” so you’re not going to get away with the attitude. It just takes sitting with them and talking to them, see what’s going on and try to help them. Instead, we’re pushing them away like their feelings don’t matter because they’re just being “kids/ teenagers”.
We definitely have to do better with our kids.
I remember you told this story a while back. I like it. I'm gonna go back to school to get my masters in education. I'm nervous but excited. I want to help prevent rude teachers like that. 😊😇👍
I’ll never forget my teachers in middle school. Some of them where the absolute worst. One of them had a problem with the kids for years, and the kids and parents kept complaining about this man. He finally got fired after her slapped a kid in the face. He passed away a few months after that….
Hey Nikki! I graduated in 2022 and due to the pandemic I’ve seen both sides. I think I’m my early years if I was homeschooled that would have affected my social capacity. I think later on in highschool or middle school, online schooling programs like flvs, etc could be beneficial for accelerated learning and an early graduation, but elementary school at least should be in person. No whether you choose public or private is completely up to you, but just coming from a very recent student of the public education system, homeschooling can be beneficial but what age you start can really impact how much they know about the world and how well they’re able to interact with other people and other personalities in groups, etc.
I can’t imagine being a parent in a time where school shootings are something to prepare for. Do what you feel is needed girl❤
Public school is very Trumatic for me too. I found that teachers took a personal turn when it came to me. I was always targeted and I never knew why but I remember this one time when I was in like kindergarten or first grade and I didn’t wear sneaker on a Tuesday I had boots on and Tuesday was the day for the gym so usually you would sit out all day and watch the other kids have fun but this day she decided that she was going to make me run around and do all the activities by myself in front of the entire class and laugh with the class at me. This was at independence elementary school in rock Hill South Carolina, and her name is Miss Brown and she is a PE teacher still to this day.
I’m sat here saying to my man ‘she told this story before’ I thought I was tripping I’m excited about thisssss
loved this! Can you please do more storytimes on the "working ice cream shop" I loved that story!!!
Girl I felt this in my heart 💔. My little brother has mild autism and he wanted to play violin, which he never had an issue with until he went into middle school. The teacher was so cold and rude to him because he had a disability and wasn’t the best violin player. Instead of trying to help him be better he would just belittle him in front of the class. My mom tried her best to speak with the principals and teacher but in the end my brother just gave up and quit his orchestra class 😞 sometimes these people just have a shitty personal life and project it onto their students. It’s sad but this is what we do without even realizing.
My FiRST grade teacher Mr. Gonzales made a little boy cry in front of the class because he didn’t understand his math. On the last day of school Mr. Gonzales blocked the door and didn’t let any kids leave until we kissed him on the cheek. And tons of other inappropriate things went on throughout the school year.
I have been homeschooling for 6 years and it’s been great. Could be hard at time but at the end it’s all worth it
Hey beautiful!! Miss you lots! I’m so late lol, I had work the finally spent quality time with my Moms🥰 Now I’m here for the teeaaaa☕️❤️
“I love you guys so much but God loves you more” I LOVE THAT!!!!❤️ YESSSS✝️🫶🏻🙏🏼💞👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
As a teacher I totally agree about speaking positively. There been moments when it is hard because there has been so much behavior issues. I will be lying if I didn’t get upset and frustrated with them. If I do I do apologize for it because like you said they are individuals. I always say they affect me as much as I affect them.
I think homeschooling is a great option if you can do it. I thought when I have kids
As a teacher myself, I completely understand being worried or cautious. There are many laws in place to protect kids. And most teachers, if not all, go through alot of training about how to speak to children and what not to say. And then still many choose to do the wrong thing. Anyway I've always been passionate about teaching, but its even more important to teach kids to be good kind human beings
I truly do believe that teachers have to be passionate & love their job in order to be able to reach the next generation. They need to be patient with the students and help them any way they can not break them down. I get that teachers have a lot of their plate but we do appreciate the ones that do their job correctly and put their all into it.❤ That’s so disgusting what the teachers were doing at school grounds taking away your & your classmates time to learn. When your ready to enroll your kids in school or if you decide your good with home schooling them until graduation that’s YOUR choice & nobody else’s except your Husbands hehe. I love you Nikki been here since the long run I love to see you grow 🥰🥰🙌🏽 Take care God Bless
I remember when I moved to my third and final school I was in grade 8 (which by me is year 8 or form 1)and my new teachers tried so hard to build a relationship with me they all tried so hard to make me believe I was worth but I wouldn’t listen I was so hurt by those words of my previous teachers that I just could t take the thought of being bullied by my own teacher anymore
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was in 3rd grade, I'm 25 and working on my degree right now and I'm one semester away from being done.This degree has been seven years in the making, and I'm so concerned I'm going to complete the program, teach and not want to do it anymore. I'm scared for my future, for the safety of these kids, and it's not right. No one should go to school or work afraif that they may not come home. I'm genuinely consideriing becoming a homeschool teacher and when the time comes homeschooling my own kids. It's so terrifying.
Omggg i remember this storry from back in the dayyy !! Thanks for posting!! ❤
I’m a teacher and OMG my mouth is on the floor!
These 2 weren't my teachers, they were my sister's. I didn't know at the time but they had always been this way. They were racist bullies to 2nd graders. Yup they were, there's no denying.
One day, I'm not sure why but it was the only time my teacher needed these 2 teachers to take us in for an hour or so as a class.
We come in, they have us read. They tell us to partner up and read with each other. Everybody instantly partnered up and I couldn't find anyone. I was 8, and I was nervous and shy because there was no one left to be my partner. My younger self didn't know what to do and was honestly scared for some reason.
So I sat there quietly by myself while everyone had the comfort of having a partner and were able to perform the assignment.
One of the teachers, Lord Farquaad, noticed I was just sitting there. Instead of asking to me personally as to why I wasn't reading and just sitting there. She immediately gets furiated looking at me, announces in front of the whole class (mind you it was 2 whole classes) and says, "Why aren't you reading?? Where's your partner?!"
I sheepishly replied because not only was I already scared and embarrassed that I couldn't find a partner I told her that there's wasn't anyone else to partner up with. She says to me, again in front of everyone, "Oh..so you just sit there like a lump on log?" and then referencing me with her face with a dumbfounded look.
The sheer shame I felt by that. That I couldn't intelligent think for myself at 8 years old to somehow just force my way into a pair something, that was so vile of her. It's so inconsequential to be so un-gentle with a kid over not finding a partner. It takes emotional intelligence to be kind, consider that it's a nervous kid without a partner that probably needs help. The fact that she had the future in her hands, little beings in her care and this is how she handled us...i would say she's worse than a lump on a log. And I just know I'm so much more than what she did to me as a young kid and that she's out there reaping her rewards somehow.
I’m only 22, and I think about what I’ll do in regards to education and all the news and kids thinking they can do whatever they want now.
I feel you 100 percentttttt I was going to homeschool my son ….my teacher he was a really old man had a crush on me nd would make sexual remarks tooo me one day he followed me home nd I told my mom he got fired the day. Mind you he was always watching me go home I just never new. That school was just horrible they cared more about havin rips in ur jeans than actual learning . I had rips in my jeans nd the iss teacher would call me a hoochie mama just a lot of disrespectful names. like you never really know what’s going on unless ur kids tell you
I love mama glamour. ❤ for real wish i could meet her seems like such an admirable person. 🙏🏻
I’m so glad I listened to the whole video before commenting on my thoughts about homeschooling 😅
I completely agree with you! If people are not passionate about helping children grow in a safe and healthy environment, they should not go into social services/education.
Regarding homeschooling: I was homeschooled by my mom for 18 years and I will only say I wish she had set the “mom” versus “teacher” boundary better for the sake of our relationship.
That would be my only piece of advice if you choose this route. There are great homeschool programs that include a Child’s Bill of Rights so you can safely homeschool 😊
Sometimes parents want to homeschool as a trigger response to things in the news, and they don’t consider the cons of homeschooling (there are many!)
Public schooling has more cons than homeschooling.
girl your story reminds me so much thinking at a age when i had a speech impediment and i had a speech teacher name mrs.Duffy she was a really nice teacher to me one day i was crying about something she made me feel better i also to had anxiety and learning ability with speaking up and i was a very quite lil kid i feel like i regret of being a what they so called favorite student out of all my classes now looking back i was always a student that stayed getting yelled at i was used to it for a while until one day i got tayed of it everyday cause i never took advantage of being bad towards others some teachers i knew were real meaner and one of em was my very first grade teacher out of all of them she was not nice not once she would mostly yelled at me for nothing for the little things i remember and my feelings would be hurt and that was probably one of my sad moments being treated as a student i never transferred schools but passed up to the next grades i had mostly nicer teachers as well i knew not only me but my sisters and my brothers and i also have too lil brothers they had difficult abilities like me to they felt the same way i did they would go the same speech class like me almost everyday they were in the same other class like me out of all my regular classes cause i'am the oldest after a while i remember things started changing my mama she would talked to the teachers at times about me just to help me and my sisters and brothers and one day my teachers they started puting sweet on towards me out of mostly my classmates i was so confuse and i come to realize these teachers or not getting the amount of paying money i remember you talking about this in your O.G story and it happens to other kids as well i always thought i was the only one for years all the time i'm so glad they considered homeschooling for kids this year
Ooooooh girrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllll, this hits HARDDDDDDD.... Now being a new mum myself I struggle thinking about putting her into school because of these types of things... I just know that I will put my all into creating her to be the best her she can be so that no one can diminish her self worth 💖💖💖 forever a Glamazon with my mini Glamazon
My husband and I are also debating homeschooling. It’s hard being a parent right now. There’s so much up in the air that it’s difficult to decide what’s the right decision for us. Sending all the other fellow parents love 💗❤💙💜💚💛
So are my husband and I. The main reason we aren't yet is our schedule. He works 12+ a day 5 days a week and I'm in college and work full time.
My 6th grade teacher laughed at my science project while I was presenting it in front of the class and literally told me I couldn’t have done that myself tagt broke me to pieces 💔😞 fast forward a couple years later that same teacher was charged for messing with one 20:56 of her 6th grade boys…
Yes I remember u telling us this story before but its good to bring it up..Love u ....ur Awso.e!❤❤😊
I think most of us are happy for the decision you’ve made.💯🥳
You know your Glamazons be riding at down ❤️😭💀
When my daughter was pregnant, I asked her if she would let my granddaughter go to a Christian school and I would pay for it. Thank the good Lord she agreed because I could not imagine my granddaughter going to a public school, especially in California!
In 6th grade I had a teacher who used to tell us ALL the time that we were never going to amount to anything and would be flipping burgers at Burger King because we didn’t know something. It was so over used that we all eventually just ignored him but it was the saddest thing because you could tell we were all really effected by him for a while.
Mama Glamour is like my mom. Any issues with the school regarding bullying or anything she was at the school .
In the middle of year 8 I stopped school and started home school and I realised my true capabilities because I tried. My teachers spoke nothing but good onto me and told me yes i have issues yes I’m lazy but if I tried I would be unstoppable and they were right. In my igcse exams which is like the sat for you guys I topped all 7 of my subjects with A stars all 99 percent the first ever to do so where I live that to while being a private student.
Nikki i loveeee you for this video… you legit hit the nail on the head ❤
