As a mother of a special needs kiddo, and as a teacher, I have only ever asked about calories in the only acceptable way. “I will be sending a lunch, could you please put what was not eaten back in the lunchbox, so I can calculate the calories. If this is not something that can be done easily, then don’t worry about it. Thank you”
These parents baffle me. Utterly baffle me. Did they never go to school growing up? Were they selected to have their childhood memories in school erased? When did their teachers track their calories, potty train them, went ER on them digging through poo and taking temperatures rectally? Where did their brains go?
Hey, don't sweat it about those calories. You don't personally have to track that student's caloric ntake. You can just have their student planner do it.
Bingo, yes! However the school I work at has muddied the waters by offering clothing bank, shoe bank, free food,free school breakfast & lunch, etc. So parents now think the school is like a nanny/total care for their brats. I started teaching 35 years ago and it wasn't this way.
Girllllll, I love you!! I was a teacher for 32 yrs. I retired last year in Jan. and sub now. You hit the nail(s) on the head every time!! Keep up the fantastically funny vids!!! You just can't make this stuff up. The average joe in a "regular" career would not get it - just teachers and spouses of teachers. My husband loves your videos, too!
I’m a Paraeducator at an elementary school. Teachers and paras don’t have enough time to do the things we actually get paid to do, nor do we get paid enough money to do the things we’re required to do. So all the other ridiculous stuff parents ask for are out of the question. 😊😊😊
do they want the dime back? i was a school bus driver - they expect from us as well. like, "i need you to come earlier/later because we need our sleep/leave earlier for work". sure, i'll change the entire bus route (not that i have that authority) that's been carefully planned out (for instance, so a minimum of children have to cross a road to board/exit) so you can sleep in.
This is my thought… Just thinking.. when I was working my way through college, one of the places I did so was at a child care facility where some children’s care was state funded. Things like numbers of diapers changed and what kind (and some kind of description of it) was required. Maybe these people are so used to those things, that they believe that’s the way public schools work as well. Am I defending them for asking these things of teachers? Absolutely NOT in any way, shape, or form. I am just trying to wrap my mind around what makes these people think it is acceptable, and I can not come up with anything that makes any kind of sense! 😅
This one is on "a whole nuva levul"! Sometimes, I suspect these notes should be signed, "Sincerely, My Mom". And, Ma'am, who in your wildest imagination told you this school has air conditioning?!
These would be funnier if I knew they weren't real requests. My mother would have moved to Alaska before she asked anyone to do these things. (And yes - I'm a boomer, so this was lots of years ago.)
How could any parent think potty training is in a teacher's job description? That's one of parenting's most rudimentary duties, as it has been throughout the history of human civilization. This is caveman hominid level common sense.
I am amazed at how many parents want us as teacher to be the parent too. I teach high school and even at that level they want us to be the parent. Nope, that's your job.
I’m concerned at the amount of parents who feel it appropriate to ask a teacher to perform some kind of intimate function for their kid. No wonder so many kids end up abused if they see no wrong in that kind of thing.
If parenting erodes brain cells, like it did with the parents in all of these Ridiculous Parent Request videos, then they need to start doing some sort of testing before any conception. Better yet, like in Brave New World make them in labs (might also be the way to rid of cancer and other diseases, or The Giver where certain woman are used for lab-grown embryos-pregnancies, then only certain couples can raise them.
Here is a good one have you ever going to school with people and then you taught their kids and you’re looking at them going yeah that Apple did not fall far from the tree
Parents hear this, teachers aren't Gastroentrologists, Proctologists or Urologists. A doctorate in Education (ED.d) or PH.D is VASTLY different than an MD. So don't get upset if your request is denied by your child's teacher to monitor their excrement if they happened to swallow something other than food or drink.
I'm just imaging one of these parents going, "Why are you giving my child an agenda? This is the problem with our country today! Everyone's got an agenda! The gay agenda, the woke agenda, I'm sick of it!"
We have planners, it's a little different because there is room for them to actually plan their homework as well. There's to do lists for each day so they can make sure they don't have to cram all of their studying in one day because they forgot it was tomorrow.
Go back to calendars as a term. Words are so twisted now it's hard to keep up. And so when I buy my annual planner, I have to ask, what section holds the written agenda, calendars, planbers? Before the clerk of whatever age tells me the new term, followed by why not just use your phone?
I just don’t get it. SMH. How did this happen? Are these all people with unresolved childhood trauma? I just could not teach with the stuff flying around. Respect to teachers.
Believe it or not my wife and me had a parent in children's ministry who wanted us to only focus on the child and constantly change the diaper come on there is other kids here
My children had Dr's notes requests sent to school and home and the school careless. Every time for two years, I had to stay at the hospital because the school acted recklessly 🙃. YES! We find out that prep meals at school were life treading for them. We sent food to school, and their excuse was. We can't stop your child from eating at school. 🤯😡😤 WHAT‽‽‽ STUPID IDIOTS. IT'S AS SERIOUS AS NUTS ALERGY. MY CHILDREN ARE ALLERGIC TO FAKE FOOD, ASTRONAUTS FOODS, LAB FOOD, CARDBOARD FOOD, WHAT EVER IS NOT NATURE. SINCE I LOST MY JOB FOR TAKING CARE OF MY KIDS I WILL KEEP IT THAT WAY. I UNDERSTAND SCHOOL IS FOR LEARNING. BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO IGNORE A KIDS LIVES TREATING. THEN SAY SOMETHING. I KNOW, I DON'T DRIVE AROUND WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS. BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTROL OTRERS DRIVERS. I KNOW MY PLACE.

Love your delivery. It makes the absurd palatable.

I think some parents expect daycare level documentation from the public school system. Another reason is to feel like they are being a good parent.
I feel like the only rational parent here. OMG lmao these parent requests are nuts.
Hey, don't sweat it about those calories. You don't personally have to track that student's caloric ntake. You can just have their student planner do it.
😂
LOL
I swear, some of these parents think that the school teacher is an all-around servant to cater to their child all day in every way!

Nailed it.
@@happycook6737. All that was designed to help the less privileged, but MAYBE the PARENTS could go with THEIR OWN KIDS to use the services?
2:51, had me howling!!!!!!! These people seem to need a little bit more than divine intervention. Although tbh, I have no idea what that is!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
"...cuz I like croutons" killed me! 🤣
Parents actually think of these things AND think they’re logical!

3:41 Chances are, if an oral or ear temp wouldn't do, they need to be in the hospital if they need that precise of a temp!
Forehead temp scanners exist
@@joywebster2678. Or maybe if they’re sick they could stay HOME
The Spanish class story has me in stitches!! 🤣
How to get sued 101. Lesson 1: attempt to “take a student’s temperature” rectally. Also see How to get arrested 101. 🤦♀️
0:29 lord have mercy 😑Potty training starts at HOME! Some parents think it’s the teachers job to raise their kids 🤦🏾♀️
It could be worse! BBC has a story about how some kids in Wales (UK) are STILL not potty trained at age 7 or 8 and they expect the teachers to do it!!
We actually potty train in Headstart, but the parents don't expect or demand us to. We offer it as a service.
I work in special needs classrooms and we've had the "log everything they eat" request! We were almost always too busy to do it. 😂
Nothing better than a laugh before I go for my walk 😂😂
"Im not an archeologist! " 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Some parents be trying it like why does potty training got to do with me and child education
This is my thought… Just thinking.. when I was working my way through college, one of the places I did so was at a child care facility where some children’s care was state funded. Things like numbers of diapers changed and what kind (and some kind of description of it) was required.

LMAO Cause I like Crutons. I died.
This one is on "a whole nuva levul"! Sometimes, I suspect these notes should be signed, "Sincerely, My Mom".
And, Ma'am, who in your wildest imagination told you this school has air conditioning?!
Hey there😆 good to see ya! Happy new year🙂
As a master student of history with no kids, I still feel called out with the archaeology comment.
Wait a minute a child who isnt potty trained at age 4 😮😮
It's becoming more common. Parents just don't want to parent anymore. They want the state to do everything for them.
Some kids are stubborn
Happy New Year
Great work...
Parents are BANANAS
I'm no longer A teacher; I'm now a horticulturist, far more gratifying!!!
How weird are these parents?!
Yes😂
These would be funnier if I knew they weren't real requests. My mother would have moved to Alaska before she asked anyone to do these things. (And yes - I'm a boomer, so this was lots of years ago.)
Also a boomer, and we were potty trained before we ever got to Kindergarten! No parent ever assumed it was the teacher's job to do that!
Omg these people. 😅😂

I have had to track carbs, but only to give insulin.
Teaching has become less about teaching education and more about parenting. It’s sad
A kid not potty trained by 2 years is basically the fault of lazy parents.
1:30 this is exactly what needs to happen.
I’m concerned at the amount of parents who feel it appropriate to ask a teacher to perform some kind of intimate function for their kid. No wonder so many kids end up abused if they see no wrong in that kind of thing.
0:38 “Excuse me…?”

Only classroom that i have ever heard of helping with potty training are preschool ( ages 0 to 5 years) and special education classroom.
Ridiculous stuff!
Here is a good one have you ever going to school with people and then you taught their kids and you’re looking at them going yeah that Apple did not fall far from the tree
I used to be an assistant daycare teacher and we had a parent ask us to save her 1 year olds dirty diaper

Where do these people come from LMAO!!!
I met my son’s English teacher at his graduation.
Please read questions/suggestions before sending them. The audacity 😒
Are these real? I can'tbelieve the stupidity
Where can we submit ridiculous parent requests?
Do parents ever recognize their requests, then become irritated, humbled or remorseful?
There ARE such things as stupid questions…::sigh::
Our schools call those planners agendas.
I'm just imaging one of these parents going, "Why are you giving my child an agenda? This is the problem with our country today! Everyone's got an agenda! The gay agenda, the woke agenda, I'm sick of it!"

I think these videos should be retitled “Ridiculous Parents”.
Or dr wanting a stool sample for medical reasons not don't ask teacher to do it
Believe it or not my wife and me had a parent in children's ministry who wanted us to only focus on the child and constantly change the diaper come on there is other kids here
BWAAAHAHA
