the fact that she even gives her students “phone breaks” or lets them go on it if theyre done with their work is awesome. like dude why are you mad that she wont let you send snaps while shes physically teaching
Giving it back at the end of class too, so effing nice ! The nicest teacher I had is school would give it back at the end of the day, but most of the time it would be at the end of the week or until a parent came by to pick it up themself
fr! my school would suspend you for it. I have to hide to tell my grandmother (im a senior in highschool and have epilepsy so i cannot drive yet) that i have to stay later than my usual half day for extra work. sucks.
Because kids these days dont give a fuck about their education and theyd rather be on their phone while their teacher is teaching valuable information and fail then put their phone away for a couple hours. 🤷♀️
This feels like another case of tiktok going after well meaning people with 1 or 2 Meh Moments bc shes honestly WAY more lenient and kind than any teacher I had in highschool
I hate teacher hate. My mother is a teacher and she doesn’t get paid enough for this kind of treatment. RIDICULOUS!!! We need to appreciate our teachers more.
As someone w/ generalized anxiety disorder, I understand doodling in YOUR notebook or papers. But like, vandalizing the desks which others have to use/clean is just rude. Then using anxiety as an excuse? That's low for people (which is a lot more than you'd expect) w/ anxiety who need outlets to ground themselves back to reality
I draw on the desks when I'm super bored then I erase it sometimes or make it small. Its usually just shapes like stars or diamonds, nothing too graphic. I do it for other people to see some history on the desk. If there are drawings that are inappropriate I erase them, but their always by other students so it doesnt bother me too much. It's just digusting on my desk though. I sometimes do animal drawings to cheer people up since most of my classes are so boring and our desks cant have anything on them. Or they sometimes dont allow drawing at all so I cant have paper on my desk at instruction time.
Exactly! I'm 27, and many people doodle in meetings and zoom calls on their notebooks all the time in every office I worked in. But if a grown adult with anxiety started to draw on the office desk it would be so weird 🤣 I think a lot of things they tell you in school that "prepare you for the adult world" is BS, but this is fair enough.
I never had to clean for other people so honestly I don't see why some people here (the com) make such a big deal out of it as long as it's not like carved in the desk ( which I've seen happen), written in non erasable marker or something inappropriate I really don't see the problem I've litterally never met in my life someone who was bothered by that 🤷🏻♀️
people are getting mad at her for giving a kid TWO chances to get off their phone while they are explicitly on their phone and ignoring the warnings. At my old middle school, if your phone so much as buzzed, on it or not, teachers were required to confiscate the phone and take it to the office.
My middle school was like that too, but they would just take it. Ofc it depended on the teacher but when phones were too much of a problem they started just taking them
At my high school, (general rules) the rule was you get 1 warning, then the next time the teacher takes it until the ends of class, and then if it happens again, it gets confiscated to the office until the end of the day. But each teacher might be more lenient with phones, or more strict (you’ll have to put it in a phone dock), but generally it just has to be silenced and away unless you’re in lunch or study hall
my middle and hs were & are like that. if youre caught on your phone, or if it buzzes, it's immediately taken and you get either a detention or clinic depending on whether or not it's your first offense. tbh it IS law in la that no phones are allowed at school but yk
Back in my day, we didn't have cell phones. We'd have to walk all the way to the office to use a phone and only if it was okayed by a teacher. *Says in a decrepit, old lady voice with a shaking, wrinkled 40-year old hand pointing at nothing.*
@@pandeebean7657 They’re hating her because they kids/teens, many who critical thinking and proper judgement is not formed in the brain. I feel bad for the teacher.
@@hanatemonstas4485 the two about the students who brought back a snack and the one where she said how she would respond to a student taking long bathroom breaks were the only ones that actually anger me a little
i think shes a pretty good teacher from her videos. she seems passionate and kind about teaching and she also doesnt get paid very well (if she was doing really rude things, that may not be a great excuse lol) and taking away phones because youre using them in class instead of paying attention is pretty normal (at least in my past schools, thats what they would do) but yeah i dont really get the hate idk
She's totally the kindest teacher. One time, she got caught on cam being nice to her students saying nice things such as "F*ck you" and ""Sh*t." So glad her kindness went viral on Tiktok a YEAR ago.
yeah what this teacher does is standard. ive seen worse teachers who make the parents pick up the phones after one offense. so this teacher isn't that bad. she's just an average teacher who's tik toks reminded students of school
Anxiety isn’t a justification to draw on other peoples property. Just keep a sketch book on you or doodle on your paper/schoolwork. That’s what I did. I have anxiety. The only time I drew on desks was early in elementary school Also this teacher was pretty reasonable compared to teachers I’ve had experiences with. Just be respectful to your teachers so long as they’re being respectful to you. They’re just trying to do their job.
I have MAD anxiety, i have been sent to the hospital for hyperventilating, but i would never draw on others property, i love drawing, but that isnt a justification! Just use a paper lol
i have generalized anxiety disorder, and it was more of a nervous tick of mine to /erase/ or /clean/ desks as opposed to drawing on them. plus whatever you draw will disappear on a desk, at least on paper you can take it with you and admire it later?? yeah this teacher is completely reasonable, idk where people get it in their heads that teachers are basically just older peers/babysitters.
Her rules : Don’t ruin school property Don’t be on your phone during certain times (other times are fine) Ask to get a snack instead of asking to go to the bathroom Don’t take excessively long breaks . What a horrible teacher
She's looks like a genuinely kind teacher and absolutely being reasonable. That's normal for a teacher to do. I don't get why people hate on her for making proper decisions?
British teachers are very different to her which is what’s confusing to me, like there usually really nice and treat you basically like adults and joke around with you but when you annoy them they will literally explode
people are just idiots. when i was in school kids who disrespected the teacher for just teaching irked me so much but it's worse seeing adults still holding onto it like you're just outing yourself as a huge manchild lmao
I think its her tone? I'm not quite sure but her tone seems kinda derogatory? the one this I was slightly annoyed at was the comment of students taking a long time to use the bathrooms, because someone could be on their period or (like me) have to walk down 3 flights of stairs to go to the gender neutral bathroom but this is kinda a specific thing for me anyway I'm rambling, but this might be an answer to why she is getting hate.
I too, am a child of the Homeschool Disaster, and can vouch that if i made my teacher upset, she put the mashed potatoes on my plate for dinner with quite a bit of aggression.
Haha. I'm actually thinking about homeschooling my kiddos, but idk if I could do it. In Ohio they're very strict with even their homeschooling rules/requirements.
@@LynnAgain83 idk how it is in ohio but i live in texas and there’s a big homeschooling community in my hometown and a lot of the parents ran in similar circles and would take turns teaching different subjects so maybe you could look into a group that’s maybe doing that? the education system here is really subpar and i honestly wish i was homeschooled
@@LynnAgain83 hmm, are they? I mean I grew up homeschooled in Ohio, and I dont remember there being a super scary amount of regulations. But maybe things have changed. I will say though that there are some large homeschooling communities in Ohio, depending on where you live.
@@kaleighm993 also homeschooled in Texas and can attest to this. There are a lot of co-ops and homeschool groups where people collaborate. There's also a program called k-12 where homeschooled kids essentially do school online. I knew a few people who did this at least part time.
For the desk drawing thing with the redirection, that is often taught in classes for child development and psychology. She recognized a need for her student and replaced it with an alternative so the student could continue. That's just a sign of her being a good teacher.
@@rrrrssss156 exactly. Or another student ends up cleaning it because they are annoyed by the person who did it. It's really common for other students to be annoyed by writing on the desk. It's disrespectful and they could've just used a piece of paper
To be fair she is posting about dealing with angry teenagers on a platform that is comprised of 90% angry teenagers, this poor woman is fighting a losing battle
That's a great point! Everyone here is defending the teacher but the comments on tik tok just show entitlement on another level. I feel bad for teachers they all need a raise
@@alyssahamlett id honestly love to see these american kids come to our severely underfunded, corrupt, third world schools just to see how priviledged they are
She is getting this hate for applying basic school rules because there are a lot of children on tiktok that took that personally. When I was in school we weren't even allowed to bring phones to class.
Yep, if your teacher saw your phone at all when I was in school it would go in their drawer immediately. Chad Chad is correct, though: these kids need to step up their game on being sneaky!
@@thisrandomdude_ Seriously. Phone addiction is a real thing, and kids and teens think it’s just a silly “boomer” thing to say. If you’re on your phone, no, you’re not paying attention to class. It’s literally impossible for our brain to do multitasking with two high-attention demanding tasks. If you need your phone for emergencies, then keep it in your pockets, out of sight.
Well that's no good, because if there's an emergency how are you going to call/text your parents? Kids need their cellphones, they just need to learn not to get distracted and not use it when its unnecessary.
The reason why we can't just get up and use the bathroom if the teacher doesn't know you're going and there's a fire then they are going to be able to know somebody's in the bathroom or not so it's a major fire hazard
Also, not all schools are great and sometimes things can happen in the bathroom. We've had everything from drugs, fighting, and..."inappropriate contact with another student" in the bathrooms. So when something like that happens, people want to know when the kid left and how long they were gone. For example, sometimes there's just a HAZE of vape smoke in the bathrooms, to the point of making it unusable. Even if the kid who was vaping is gone, it's really easy to say "hmm, well we have Tommy, who was gone from science class for six minutes, Jesse, who was gone from math class for ten minutes, and George, who's been gone from English class for forty minutes and still isn't back yet. Who could possibly have been vaping?" Another time we had a kid straight up punch the soap dispensers, which aparently damaged them. Since there were only a few kids who used the bathroom in that time, they were eventually able to narrow it down to the kid that did it. So if some sort of rule is broken while you're using the bathroom, the adults can figure out who did it.
Honestly, the teacher was doing nothing wrong, TikTok was just being a toxic platform and slandering her because she was doing her job. Teachers don’t get the respect the deserve; they put up with so many bratty kids like the ones yelling at her on TikTok. Not even to mention how little they are paid for their hard work. Teachers are so amazing. This was just another case of the people on TikTok proving how toxic and horribly mean they are :)
I agree, we really need to not only pay teachers more but also teach students to respect them. But I must say that teachers have to be patient, kids are not going to be perfect and they have to be calm and supportive when it comes to kids. For example, if a student is drawing on the desk due to anxiety, perhaps the teacher should have provided the student a white board or sheet of paper for them to draw on instead. You have to realize how unaccepting the school system is of neurodivergent people, like for example if a student has ADHD. If the student requires something to draw on during class to help them focus on the lesson, they should be able to do that, and if they’re drawing on the desk a different resource to draw on should be provided. Each student is different which means that teachers have to be really really patient with everyone, which I understand can be tedious, but it’s important to try to make the learning experience a positive one for all students! Anyways, sorry, just wanted to provide my take. I also feel bad for the poor teacher getting bombarded on TikTok- the commenters are being unfair. Have a good day :)
@@etcismyinitials Sometimes the student could benefit more from something else, like a whiteboard/dry erase marker. I’m just saying that the school system is so flawed, not just for teachers but for students as well. It’s been designed by people who don’t have to deal with it and don’t like facing the ugly truth that it will take some large changes to fix our school system, not just pulling up anti-bullying posters in the hallways. If we altered it to make all parties more comfortable, more learning would be achieved in a school environment.
This is completely valid. She’s being respectful while talking to her students, she’s correcting them on their wrongs and trying to understand the situation. She explains her sides of things and works to make all the students feel better. I see no problem.
@@weirddd469 Honestly RUclips is the most sane social media app from my experiences (mostly talking about the comment sections) Of course there is still a group of bad apples, but definitely not as much as apps like TikTok or Twitter
It's the internet lol, just kids that think it's funny and that they have a pass to say "fuck you" to a teacher and bully her because it's easy to say that to someone you don't know behind a phone screen
She's respectful which is good, but also she's policing too much and crossing the line with some things and since she's like showing off that she does that, that's what makes it bad, students etc being mad are also valid
As someone with pretty severe anxiety, I think a lot of Tiktok users just…expect people to be okay with their destructive and unhealthy coping mechanisms? Like vandalizing someone else’s property is not a good coping mechanism, and people shouldn’t have to bend over backwards and let you RUIN THEIR STUFF because it makes you feel better. Literally just use paper.
Hell, what people on TikTok and Twitter label a "coping mechanism" isn't genuine 90% of the time. They're usually just reaching hard to label someone as "ableist" to justify getting pissy at them.
Re: drawing on the desks 1. Just draw on paper 2. Pencil doesn't come up as easily as one would like 3. Janitors are not paid to clean up vandalism and don't have the time to clean every desk thoroughly Students are just sometimes mindlessly destructive. It's not malicious but it is annoying. Completely unnecessary to stab holes through erasers, snap pencils in half, leave garbage everywhere, put gum on stuff, or draw all over nondrawing materials. I'm just glad we've mostly moved past "dangerous licks" AKA documenting theft of school property for attention on the internet from strangers.
If children were allowed on their phones in class, they wouldn’t learn anything. So I think phone jail is a good rule. In my school if you are caught with your phone, it is confiscated, you are given a detention and your parent has to pick it up. Phone jail would be amazing. No punishment and no telling parents?
Bottomline: The backlash is just because Tiktok is a platform full of kids around her students' age range. And they hate school, at least for the time being, so they take out their frustration on her.
Honestly, teaching is such a thankless job. I work in a movie theater and 95% of the time the worst customers are either parents or teenagers. Teachers have to deal with both and for an entire year instead of just a few minutes per person.
@@thingthang2904 teachers are basically the professional version of a babysitter. i was kind of a troublesome student back then but when i got caught, i am not spewing out some kind of illness to justify what i'm doing. i would take the punishment and be tough about it. nowadays, kids are competing on who's more softer. it's embarrassing.
The fact that in the "sus", bathroom break one, all she said was "hey, if you're getting snacks, just let me know." She didn't even say you couldn't have snacks. She just said she wanted to know, because it's HER responsibility if you're out of the classroom during the class period. Like why are people so offended? She seems like a completely rational teacher.
Nice circle jerk that was triggered by a few pissy teenagers--really showing them that you're not part of the snowflake generation! Lmao But to OP, yeah, a lot of kids don't realize that wandering the halls is a safety issue, but the vast majority will listen based on authority alone and even more will when you give students the respect of explaining policy. High schoolers are almost legal adults. If we want them to be ready for that, we have to start treating them like that
With the bathroom breaks I do understand as most kids especially at my school just “go to the bathroom” when they are really just skipping class to talk to others
Honestly she seems like a really nice teacher to have. All of her rules sound reasonable to me. I feel like the people who are upset with her are mostly high schoolers who do these sorts of things, and are upset that they cant
Honestly the only thing I thought was off limits was the asking why they were on the bathroom. Let them go? It's not disrupting the class, if they need to eat, it doesn't get food on the desk and if they're overwhelmed it gives them a break to go to the bathroom, breath a little, wash their face and come back. Also, "medical reason" is so stupid in a country people can't afford healthcare, sometimes you know what you have, but don't have a doctor's note
Honestly, with the drawing on table thing, no one ever considers the cleaning staff and I think that's very disrespectful. My mother is a cleaning lady at my ex school and any drawings that are left at the end of the day take away a bunch of time in their tight shift schedule. Yes, maybe one pencil drawing isn't an issue, but imagine having to clean 25 or more rooms worth of them with minimal time, while also having to clean everything else. It is worse with ballpoint pens, which do not come off easily, especially if they've been left for a while, as is the case with markers. For those you actually need to take out even more time and special cleaning material, which can get you stuck on one table for up to 30 minutes. Not to mention anything that doesn't come off is likely to get you yelled at by supervisors during inspections, even though they do not work at schools and don't know what it is like. So while the student may not think drawing on the table is a big deal, it makes someone else's day much easier to just draw on paper. The teacher is being respectful by watching out for other people.
I just automatically cleaned my desk whenever I drew on it. and I was never dumb enough to use pen. that pissed me off. it's prob why my teachers never said anything to me tho. because they knew I was one of the few who actually cleaned up after myself. and I rarely drew on tables, my notebook was for that.
Exactly! Thank you. It is something I actually don't understand. When I was teaching I literally had bins of different colored paper that were right there. And my first thought was always of the cleaning people.
Especially because drawing on a table is just plain property damage. The table doesn't belong to you, it's school property or state so drawing on it and not cleaning it is just damaging it
@@brokenbottle Hello, yes! Like I said, my mother is cleaning staff and when I still went to high school, I'd help her out as a holiday job. You're totally right! They really don't, and on the daily they often wouldn't rigorously clean each table, but they are told to do it every day if something big is on the tables (like drawings) and during school breaks they have to do every table quite intensively as a deep-clean. But this is from a german perspective so it might not be applicable to other countries. Because I worked during those times, I can confirm that scrubbing pen off a table can totally suck (and you for sure don't get paid enough)
as a teacher, yes we are supposed to be made aware of medical issues that require the student to be able to go the restroom without restrictions because you have to be aware of where the students assigned to you are and you have to let those students to just go without asking if its something medical.
The issue is that many school districts are absolutely shit at proper accommodations and the school board is responsible/ gets to say what they will or will not recognize and approve. So there could be students with medical issues that are legitimate but aren't on their file due to the board refusing to add it. I went through school without any accommodations (due to a shit mother), and luckily my teachers were understanding. However, I have seen countless cases of school boards treating disabled students horribly and refusing really basic accommodations without a legitimate reason. All because the disability wasn't one that was visible or one of the "real" ones the public thinks of when you say disabled. (think being blind, paralyzed, downs syndrome, seizures, and other more prominent disabilities)
@@skylerpoduska not a condition but it is something more important than going pee bc yknow you cant control the bleeding,, so yeah it might as well be an emergency if you didnt expect it to come that day, also BRING EXTRA UNDERWEAR AND PANTS TRUST ME THAT COULD SAVE YOU FROM A VERY UPSETTING TIME
bro my school literately makes us keep our phones completely silented in our lockers or, with a PARENT NOTE we can put them, still silented in a shoe holder in the front of the class. her policy is completely fair.
That woman is incredible patient and reasonable. The world is going insane if asking a kid not to vandalise a desk or to not pay attention to their phone during classes is harsh 🤷🏻♀️
like seriously. I have anxiety and I'd just draw in my notebook or something when i needed a bit of a distraction rather than right on the desk. perfectly reasonable.
This teacher gives her students PHONE BREAKS, that's EXTREMELY GENEROUS. Kids do need to learn how to read the situation and know when is a good time to be on their phone and when isn't, that's just part of being responsible and well adjusted.
The lack of accountability and entitlement in the comments of her videos make me very upset. If this is what the generation has come to, then I suppose absolutely no one can propose even the simplest of rules?
I know right? I was a student in a french highschool and we were not even allowed to use out phones during the whole day, not during breaks except in a special designated place, but for middle schoolers no phones during the entire 8h hours of school, which to me sounds normal, you are in a study and socializing environment, you can read, study, talk with your friends but phones are for when you’re at home
@@gelineaujuliette2465 It was the same in my old school except if you were caught using your phone at all, you would first get a warning, then they took it and gave it back at the end of the day and lastly they took it and your parents had to pick it up.
Her phone policy is pretty considerate. When I was in high school, if a teacher saw you with your phone, they’d take it, and your parent had to come pick it up in the front office. Of course, not all teachers did that, but most of them did.
I went to school before cellphones were a thing.. and I can't believe they're allowed in class at all. Unless there's a medical reason (diabetics using a CGM etc), you don't need your phone in class.
At my school, if you are seen with your phone, it gets taken up and they give it back after a day, or you could go up to the office and pay $20 for it. But every time it gets taken up to the office the price goes up another $20.
@@PinkOmenN7 it was exactly the same for me at my school, we even had one teacher who insisted we put them in little bags that hung on the wall each lesson (no surprise that was the same teacher who couldn't stand that we hung our coats on our chairs)
asking to go to the bathroom is a really good rule. they cant just let you leave the classroom without not knowing because they will get fired. also they're lucky they can get snacks in class; aus schools dont let you.
I’m pretty sure a kid with anxiety wouldn’t want to draw on the desk, where anyone can see what you’ve drawn, especially after being called out by the teacher
Tbh I have anxiety and used to doodle all the time on the desk. Mostly the ones that were already drawn on to hell. But I dont know if that was due to my *anxiety* of all things. Maybe it's just doodling or scratching with ur pen they meant but like kinda did help me but People gotta stop excusing things they want to do because of "anxiety" If ur called out for it, switch to paper. You dont get a free pass at destroying things :/ especially if you dont even have the mentall illness and are using it to excuse your behaviour.
i have anxiety and i usually just rip off a paper from a notebook and doodle on there. the only times i draw on the table is when i don’t have paper available and even then, i do it really lightly so it erases easily :p
I’m baffled that people are tearing her apart for saying “put your phone away” like when I was in high school the teachers would threaten to read the messages. Kids are really upset that they can’t use phones in school now? You telling me a movie theater deserves more respect than the place people are trying to get an education in?
I think it's just the way the teacher makes her videos. The way she talks and the looking down at the camera give a condescending vibe to me. She probably teaches small kids so she's used talking that way, but since TikTok is mostly teens it feels condescending and thus the backlash. Idk tho I'm just guessing.
@@Beeetlejjug She said she teachers high school in the video but the POV of the student seems exactly like you said. I think she tried to make it more realistic with the angle choice but it just doesn't look good. She should put the camera higher so she doesn't seem to be looking over kids even if it isn't as realistic
Fr, back in middle school our assistant principal would literally confiscate cell phones in the hallways and read text messages right in front of you, and if you made a scene he'd keep it and there was nothing you could do about it. Kids these days have the chillest teachers by comparison 😂
This is literally so normal for a teacher, and she’s being really nice about it. I had teachers call me out in front of the entire class for drawing on *my own looseleaf paper*. If I drew on the desks at school I would have been killed on sight. The problem is that tiktok is comprised of mostly teenagers who are still in school, so of course they’re going to be upset about teachers enforcing rules that they don’t like, and making weak “I’m so woke” arguments explaining why the teacher is bad, actually. “Drawing on the desk helps with anxiety :)” then just... draw on a piece of paper????? Would you draw all over your own belongings?? The entitlement hurts me agdjcdhhdjd
As I always say, mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse. I have a teacher who had a box of fidget toys in her class for people to use. You can doodle on paper, or get fidget toys yourself to help out. If anxiety is the problem (which I doubt it is, personally I’d be too anxious about getting caught lol) there are plenty of solutions that don’t constitute vandalism.
@@Natalie-lx4pr that we do! It’s definitely a struggle, but having a strong support system (haha pun) makes things a lot easier. Thank you for your kindness
Tbh she sounds like an incredible teacher. I'm a student who really likes to draw in class (I have Autism), and I only drew in the desk like two times when I was younger, but almost all the time I just draw in a SketchBook, it's actually paper and you can keep your artwork. And just getting a cheap notebook also works, just don't destroy the desks please, in my old school, the desks were horrible in the best scenario, they were sticky, full of gum, and filled with not family friendly drawings. Also her rules look reasonable, like she warned a student about using the cellphone while she's doing her job? That's fine, and sometimes is necesary to get those little fuckers out the students range. She always leaves everyone go to the bathroom? Cool. She leaves her students to *eat* in class? Incredible! Idk why everyone hates her, she looks neat, what do the TikTok mfs want? A "Cool" teacher? (I had a lot of those in my old school. I literally broke down getting home everyday, from how horrible the class was, they were throwing things at eachother, normally hitting me because I sat in the middle line, screaming at eachother and putting loud asf music. Oh and don't start what they would do with bullies. One time I defended myself from a bully and the person who was scolded was me 💀💀💀).
@@Moomoo000 becasue most people don’t realize there was a part 1 to the part where she has the phone jail bin. She doesn’t signify it’s a part two so people don’t realize it. They think she’s just taking the phone at the start of the class or things like that
From a teacher’s perspective: we are legally required to know where our students are (this is especially important in cases of emergency). At our school site, students have been vandalizing the bathrooms, so that’s another thing for teachers to monitor. I have had a few students just walk into other teacher’s classrooms to interrupt/visit their friends. Honestly, I don’t think anything she said on her Tiktoks were bad. I think it’s missing the key element of rapport that teachers build with students. Phone policies, desk drawing, bathroom rules are all things that teachers have to enforce from the school site/district; it’s like being upset at a cashier when they tell you to put a mask on? Of all the things teachers could be put on blast for (racism, sexism, ableism, etc.), I don’t think this teacher in particular deserves it.
Preach!! This teacher seems super awesome and chill. Her delivery on some.of her tik toks is a bit condescending, but she has every right to do so. Hell, she waited until her student had been on their phone for a good 5 minuites before saying anything. My old history teacher would see a phone and it would be gone.
I agree, as a high school student, I've noticed that alot of my peers don't like teachers solely on the fact that the teacher enforces rules. Like my graphic design and photography teachers have a great system for bathroom breaks. Its a simple check in and out system but its effective. Its really helpful for someone like me with social anxiety. But others in my class hate those teachers because they have a chart and don't just let them walk out without any notice. People also don't like them cus they don't allow us to play games on the computers!?! I don't get it. Teachers are just enforcing nessesary rules in a classroom, the kids in my high-school have no respect.
i totally agree. people are overreacting about the phone thing. teachers often tell us to put our phones away and if we get caught 3-5 times we get it taken away for the period. it honestly isn't that bad, it's just a bit frustrating sometimes lmfao. it's normal and a reasonable rule, students need to be paying attention and our teachers are a lot more lenient than the ones at my old school
@@Sp3ctralI more because of undiagnosed ADHD than anxiety, but I used to draw on myself all the time. I'd imagine the sensory input from it would actually be a lot more helpful than drawing on a desk tbh
Kids in my class used to draw on themselves all the time idk why she dont just do that. Hell even I drew 3 of my characters on my friends arm like some shitty tatto. I even painted my mf nails with black markers.
@@katharineeavan9705 probably because the marker feels cold or something(at the same time it’s really bad if you use sharpie or certain markers cause of the actual toxic chemicals)
Tbh she seems like a chill teacher. Most of mine didn’t allow any bathroom breaks and made us all put our phones in the cabinet as soon as we entered the classroom. If it was seen after that it was an immediate write up. This lady seems genuinely concerned for her students and actually wants to teach. 10/10. I don’t think that anyone who’s not a teenager would find issue with her
@little old me if our phones are seen at all at any point of the day even before school has started or after (you aren't allowed it on the school site) it gets taken off you, and your parents have to pick it up, if they cant pick it up that day, you don't get your phone back for however many days. you also get a detention if you get it taken off you too many times. i thought it was normal not being allowed phones?? 😐😐
im a teen and her rules are like bare minimum. they even get phone breaks! ours get taken to the deputy principal for our parents to collect if we get caught with them
As a high school student: I feel bad for this teacher. She’s doing her best, but because most of her platform is the same age as her students, she’s getting immense hate. I’ve most definitely had bad teachers, and this woman is NOT one.
i had a math teacher once that was so neglectful. i figured out that if i erased the title of my homework from the night before and just put the current assignment as the title, he wouldn't even notice that the answers i wrote didn't fit the assignment at all. at least this teacher clearly cares about an effective learning environment. limiting distractions helps both the teacher and the students. she's really just trying to make sure everyone does their job well.
No? It really is their property; or better yet the property of the parents. Teachers can put it somewhere else in the classroom for the day yes, but they cannot take it away as a form of punishment or for extended periods of time. The school officer thing is such a blatant over exaggeration and is obviously a threat rather than actual respect towards the student.
I don’t think you should be escorted by security to the fucking office like she said in the video When I went to high school the SRO officers they are our security loves to use tasers and pepper spray on kids
Holy hell, i don't understand how people are hating on her; generally speaking, she's not only doing fine as a teacher, she's actually going the extra mile by offering alternatives and being patient with the student's potential disrespect. It's pretty disappointing to see how teachers get treated that are (at least online) doing their best to fulfill their job. A job most people wouldn't even dare to commit to.
Relating to the “anxiety is an excuse to vandalize school property” thing, I just thought how weird it is that some people use their mental illnesses/disorders to rationalize their bad behaviors that actually affect others. When I was in secondary school, a kid in my class frequently bullied me, both physically and mentally. It got so bad to the point that he was cutting off my hair IN CLASS, while I was crying and unable to fight back. After that, his mom was forced to come to my house and apologize to me on behalf of her son. And you know what, SHE DID NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR SH*T. She told me that her son has ADHD, that’s why he did what he did and hopefully I will understand when I’m older. Okay, so your son’s ADHD somehow excuse him from the fact that he’s been bullying me for a year now? So I’m just gonna blame the suicidal thoughts on myself? A message to that woman and her son: f**k you, I’m better now but I had to deal with years of trauma after that experience 🖕
The way we both had the same experience LMAO. My bully pushed me around, smoked cigarettes, verbally abused me and dumped a handful of hair gel into my hair all while IN CLASS. The teachers were even afraid of her - she had ADHD and we never heard the end of it. The funniest part is that my own ADHD was undiagnosed for years because I had a very specific idea of what ADHD was based on those interactions 🙃
I have ADHD and oh man I cannot _tell_ you how many times I cut people's hair in school. Oh wait yes I can it was 0 times because I'm not a fucking psychopath
WTf adhd doesn’t even make you do any of these things 😭. Some people with adhd can be impulsive or hyperactive but it doesn’t make you a piece of shit. I know someone with diagnosed ADHD and they’re really friendly
I have adhd and I sure do love bullying kids because i have adhd. No, actually adhd is not an excuse to bully people. You arent a bully because you have adhd, you are a bully because you are a piece of shit
The people getting mad at her for taking a students phone cos "People might need it for an important reason" are acting like she didn't take the phone away cos the kid was playing a game
yeah, if youre sitting in class and briefly check your phone to see if someone has texted you, you arent getting your phone taken away. If you knew beforehand youd need to be on your phone for important reasons, then wouldnt the teacher have known that already? or wouldnt you have explained it to her the first time she asked? I have no idea why everyone is so upset at her, she seems perfectly reasonable to me
There was one comment I saw that had a lot of replys, most of them were high schoolers telling adults that there are reasons to be on their phone while some of the adults were saying that you shouldn't need your phone at all for no reason whatsoever, I am pretty sure it is the top comment right now you can check it out
Yeah if you just tell most teachers (most not all) they’ll be understanding about stuff. I’ve even had a teacher who would let people leave class to answer phone calls as long as it was something important (most common thing was work)
fr i think if something was really that important, the teacher would make an exception and let the student use it quickly to text their parents or whatever it is they need to do
Well no because I've had my phone taken for TEXTING MY THERAPIST BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK and "because I didn't ask" it was taken away. People often do need it for an important reason.
Bruh people clearly have never had an actual bad teacher. I once had a teacher who took my pencil away because I was drawing on my worksheet, I had another teacher take points off of my assignments if I had a drawing ANYWHERE on the paper. She’s a good teacher some people are just way too sensitive.
right! i had my phone in my lap durning middle school cause it makes me feel safer if i can feel it on me incase i need to call my mom or something quickly. and the teacher looked UNDER my desk to see my lap and just snatched my phone and didn’t let me have it even after i had a panic attack right in front of her, and she KNEW i have DIAGNOSED anxiety
i had a teacher yell at me in the middle of class for “not paying attention” to the lesson when i was getting a highlighter out of my bag and then blasted me in front of the class to ask me what she was talking about, which caught me so off guard that i forgot what she was talking about. she didn’t resume the lesson until i answered but i was so anxious i couldn’t think so the whole class stared at me for like 10 minutes trying to desperately figure this out while she used me as an example as to why you should pay attention in her class
@@donttellthehighpreist6530 I had an actual bad teacher who got super pissed off with students who asked questions. She had moved from being a regular teacher to a gifted teacher. I talked with her after class and explained that I only asked questions out of curiosity, not to be a dick, and that most of us who asked questions that she perceived as interruptions just wanted to know more. She was a bit less pissy after that but she still didn't really get the difference with gifted students so she wasn't the best.
Teachers need to be strict when dealing with high schoolers. My math teacher was the most kind yet strict teacher. Most kids hated her, but she was such an amazing teacher!
I work for a school district in maintenance and that was a timid interaction. What you saw was all teachers can do. I’ve been kicked in the head while working, I’ve seen chairs fly across halls, water bottles thrown through windows, and that’s just k-5th grade. Middle school is the worst, there’s a constant stream of kids wandering the halls all day because they won’t go to class. Middle school kids overdosing in bathrooms, and the amount of shit they destroy
Honestly, this teacher is what i would consider a NICE teacher. Everything she does it more than justified and she's acting in a respectful manner, makes me think the comments are from students who have some underlying rage as they had once been caught doing something against the rules.
Seems like misplaced anger they have from teachers who wronged them or something. I wouldn't have the patience to be a teacher if the classroom was the tik tok comments.
It's the fact that she thrusts these POV scenarios onto viewers where the viewers are getting the experience of being told off even if they're not actually doing anything irl. And it takes a lot of kids back to scenarios where they've actually been told off unfairly. It will always feel unjust no matter how much context she provides of how her students are drawing on the desk, not putting away their phones, etc
@@hyukleberry5567 I'm still in high school and am constantly a target for shitty teachers, but even I can see that she's justified. It doesn't feel unjust to people who can look past their emotions, quit projecting, and just take in information logically
@@unpreparedwithacapitalf I'm in uni. Unlike what you assumed, her videos don't bother me because I rarely got in trouble and the times I did, I could only wish my teachers were so patient. I have nothing to project. Now, I don't think peoole should be taking it out on her or being childish in the comments, but clearly there's a reason why people have swarmed her page. Imagine making a tiktok and it's dedicated to "POV Im your mom and I tell you to clean your room". Everyone can relate to being a little lazy, so no matter how much context you give about how the room was outrageously dirty (at a level that was unacceptable for most viewers), it will still invoke negative emotions because of their own memories. She also doesn't show what she's dealing with, she doesn't set it up so you can empathise with her, so people default to empathising with the student because most of us have been there before. Moreover, no matter how justified a teacher is in something like taking your phone, it just doesn't feel good being caught slacking. Even if you rationally understand that you kinda had it coming, most people understand the shitty feeling of getting in trouble when they deserved it. So it doesn't help her case. This is why people find her annoying even if she's technically right. And, this whole issue aside, the fact that a grown ass adult is making these videos to prove how justified and respectful she is in communicating with her students is just...weird, especially because she doesn't seem to be making a point about healthy student-teacher dynamics/healthy punishment to other teachers, but rather, pandering to kids and highlighting herself as a teacher better than what most people have. This isn't inherently wrong, but personally this is what rubs me the wrong way about her vids.
@@hyukleberry5567 I wasn't assuming anything about you specifically. I was referring to the people commenting on her videos. But my point still stands - the kind of fight or flight immediate reaction to being told off in person might be to blame the teacher (even when they're right), but it's different when it's thousands of people sitting at home and getting worked up in the same way over a video. They have time to reflect on what they're saying and think rationally because they themselves are not being told off. I agree though I don't get the idea of her videos and they're really not proving much but I guess there's only so much content you can make as a teacher.
Exactly, she seems like a chill teacher, it’s just that since TikTok’s target audience is mostly kids who’s ages are around the ones she teaches, they take out their anger on her.
@@diegode415 if you don't put your phone away after being asked once, you're dumb. In any other school they would've just taking it away without even asking and give it back to you after like a day
She seems like a pretty fair teacher. She’s not too strict, she just doesn’t want to be disrespected or have school property vandalised. She legit mentioned giving her students breaks to go on their phones? During class? Even though class is only 45 mins or so? Idk how anyone thinks that’s unfair, that’s incredibly lenient compared to the shit my teachers pulled I feel like all the people giving her shit are just students themselves who dislike her response because they’ve had teachers do the same to them before and it pissed them off. Seems immature to me.
Right?? I've had my *homeroom teacher* (i.e. not even an actual class) take phones away for pulling it out of your pocket for two seconds to glance at the time while the clock in the room was broken. This teacher is literally like a saint in comparison.
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 yeah, it was in this video? She asked the student to stop twice already and then asked them to give their phone. Going on your phone three times in one class, after being warned multiple tomes, and then not listening to your teacher sounds like something that might piss off a teacher.
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 Having your phone out at my school, not even during class just anywhere on the campus, meant it was immediately confiscated. The only way you could get your phone back was by waiting a few days or getting your parents to schedule a meeting with the SLT (senior leadership team). So in comparison, this is pretty tame.
Where I live, it’s literally against the law to use my phone in school, even at breaktimes and before school begins. If I get caught once, it gets taken away for the period. Twice? Taken away the whole day. Three times? I have a meeting with a Dean. And TikTokkers are complaining about her rules when they:re literally so fair
Same! I live in Turkiye and it's so rare here. Also we have parent element. When you will enter high school or university exams in that year, parents usually take your electronic devices months before the exam and force you to study and solve tests. School? %90 of schools take your phones obviously. No use in breaktimes, no use in lessons. You cant even call your parents with your phone with allowance from teachers. You have to ask to guidance counselor, if they allow, they will call themselves and they can lie if they want. I dont know what is wrong with other countries than America. I feel like there are really freedom. AND THEY CRY WHEN TEACHER ASKS THEM THREE TIMES, POLITELY! DUDE ENGLISH TEACHER LITERALLY HURT MY HAND TO TAKE MY PHONE EVEN MY MOM ALLOWED IT, ON REPORD CARD! DAY WHAT ARE THEY YAPPING ABOUT 😭😭😭
My teachers get in trouble for doing a bad job as basically doing their job and teaching. Test results from one class gets compared to other classes on the same level and if one teacher is seriously not doing well they tend to send other authority figures in schools to check there teaching okay
she’s being.. MORE than reasonable here. like this is just basic discipline and boundaries? idk why people are getting SO upset about this. like y’all realize educators are responsible for their students behaviors right,,,
The main problem that I see personally is that I have panic attacks at least once a day and sometimes several times a day. This leads me to use certain apps on my phone to help me regulate my emotions and get back to a state where I can actually do the work. If a teacher took away my phone while I was using it for coping and regulation, I would probably relapse into self destructive coping mechanisms like self harm and disordered eating. And if this is a problem I deal with regularly, I’m sure other students are as well.
@@theincompleterealm1582 Yeah, but you could communicate this to your teacher in this situation instead of just letting them believe that you are simply ignoring them. A teacher cant be cpnsiderate and make allowences for you if you don’t tell them that you are struggling with something in the first place. It’s unreasonable to just expect them to read your mind.
To be fair she’s responsible for their safety, if they’re going to the bathroom and always taking 10-15mins, they could be doing something other than going to the bathroom - if anything bad happens to them while they’re meant to be in her class, she’s held responsible /:
Exactly! And that’s why we ask to go to the bathroom. If kids just walk out of class how will you know where they are. What if there is an emergency and that teacher is now missing a student. People forget that the teacher is responsible for the kids
Yeah, I get in theory that nobody wants to have to ask to go to the bathroom but anyone who thinks that kids will NEVER just hang out there on their phones half the class and use it to skip has some serious rose colored glasses on. Kids are kids and that doesn't make them bad, but yes, they do need somewhat more structure and less freedom than adults do.
I can think of _many_times kids just went into the bathroom to avoid being in class. I think her wondering if the time-length is necessary is fully justified.
I agree that that's a suspicious length of time but also I feel like there are ways to address that other than asking about their medical conditions, which comes off (to me personally) as kind of passive aggressive, like they're trying to get you to admit to slacking off. If they do have a medical condition that causes them to stay in the bathroom, that can be super embarrassing and being asked about it out of the blue would suck. Better to address it neutrally without saying either "do you have takes-too-long-to-poop-itis" or "I accuse you of doing non bathroom things on your bathroom breaks" because you don't know what's going on, by definition you can't see them.
These TikTokers are being so sensitive for no reason I’m in a middle school and literally the first time you have your phone out you get a warning but if you’re caught a second time it’s immediately confiscated sent to the office and then your parent have to pick it up and if it ever happens again, you just get reported to the principal and get a referral
EXACTLY, like my teacher wouldn’t give “three warnings” before they would take the phone away, they would keep that sht till the end of class when they catch you 1st time, no warnings
@@leviichuu711 people have to understand that if they dont clean em.. the teacher will have to. Or the janitors,, and i think thats just unnecessary. As a person with chronic anxiety im not even allowed to draw on paper, but if u are.. pls do so!
Right!? Also, no one seems to realize the amount of sexism young women have to take from teenager boys when they teach high school. Of course she answers things by replying, “what you said to me is disrespectful so I have to call the office.” She needs to set boundaries with these boys, who are twice her size, and will try to break every single boundary she sets.
This is my AP lang comp teacher. She panders to those sexist boys. She constantly jokes around with them and has sat them next to eachother after changing the seating chart 3 times this year (despite them being disruptive). I totally see your point about sexism, but yeah she panders to the popular athletic boys. She does not act like how she portrays herself online.
@@Elegantly_Bored it's weird. She's not a bad person or anything, she's just a run of the mill incompetent teacher, but her focus on tiktok is just kinda weird
People forget that teachers aren't their babysitters. You go to school to learn. Not play on your phone or vandalize the tables and forcing your underpaid teacher to also be your butler. I have so much respect for teachers
@Magnar Creed if you’re the type of kid that was always on their phone when the teacher was talking then you’re probably disrespectful as an adult, no matter what your grades were.
dude the phone situation wasnt even bad, in the UK we cant use phones unless its a chill teacher and we're doing a quiz or smth otherwise they're taken off us if anyone notices not even in class either just in general, i have no clue why people got pissed off
In my state, teachers DO need to know of any medical needs they may have throughout the day, such as extra snacks, etc. Teachers are the legal guardian of the child while they are in their “custody”, because they are legally responsible for their wellbeing.
Yeah, people are acting like food allergies don't exist. If a student with a nut allergy ate cafeteria food or they were going on like, a field trip or something, they would need to tell their teachers (or whoever is taking care/watching over them) about their allergy, especially if it's a deathly allergy.
@@x_.mizuki._x3231 yea especially in elemantry when the kids bring birthday snacks and stuff so usually the teacher has snacks for the kid who can’t have it
As a person who has been diagnosed with clinical anxiety, can people please not act like public vandalism is an anxiety coping mechanism. You can literally just doodle on your notebook which is what I did when I got stressed out in school.
Public vandalism is more likely a symptom of some sort of attention seeking disorder, not anxiety. Literally everyone here with anxiety, including myself, is mentioning we used notebooks to deal with anxiety.
@@Nakia11798 Though, not everyone with anxiety can access a small notebook. Some families may not have the money to buy extra notebooks for their child's anxiety. This is just an opinion though, don't take this to heart. Just a statement and i fully do not agree with drawing on the desk.
The fact the phone one was the one most people got mad about is absolutely crazy. That's literally such a kind policy. My 9th grader computer engineering teacher would warn you once, and if she caught you twice, would take it away for the rest of the day (day, not period). Either way, what do you need your phone for so bad that you take out your phone even after being warned twice, you're in a school.
Honestly, as someone with anxiety and ADHD, the fact that she offers: being able to doodle (just not on the desk, duh), phone breaks (omg, I wish she was my teacher), and the fact that she doesn't ask to hide the snacks (she is a godsent); is amazing. She is such a good teacher, and I honestly think she doesn't deserve any of the hate she gets. Even the things you pointed out she shouldn't do still make sense. Asking why you go to the bathroom for 15 minutes: you are missing class time, and the teachers are responsible for your health and wellbeing while it's their class time; and pulling away your phone: honestly, I'm surprised she even allows phones, since the main reason you can't use them is because of their camera feature (you can't take photos of minors and publish them without their consent)
I'm autistic and i have adhd and school for mw is kinda tough for that reason, i really need breaks and such, if i could use my phone i would just cry on the spot. I was studying for like 7 years in a different country where phones are allowed at school fully and you can use them whenever you want (only in free time), but now when I've moved our phones are prohibited at school unless the teacher tells us to use it. It would be so much easier for me if i could use my phone. She's really respectful in my opinion and talk to other student like on the same level instead of making them feel like they're less than her. She's honestly cool
Yup same, I have adhd and i love to doodle. So its so nice that she allows it. Also it's totally reasonable to not doodle on the desk like bruh that's school property
FR that is so true like the kids hating on that teacher, must not have very good teachers that care about their education because she is literally so chill and I WISH I had a teacher like her.
So, her asking about the medical conditions regarding bathroom use is actually a legitimate policy. Some students abuse their bathroom privileges to wander the school and avoid class, so if a student is going every single day and is gone for over 10 minutes every time... they can miss up to an hour of instructional time during a week, which adds up and affects grades. Teachers are also still responsible for their students whereabouts when they're out. They can get in trouble for what the kids do while they're out. As well, with the school officer coming to pick up the phone, that's most likely a school specific policy that admin implemented to defer liability. If the teacher handles the phone, they could get attacked by the student or break it and that's a whole mess the school doesn't want to deal with. Having the officer take the phone would prevent possible backlash as they are armed. And if you're still reading and think any of that is fucked up for a teacher to deal with, then welcome to the world of education!
It's actually extra nice of her to ask if the student needs bathroom accommodations. In general, in the states the teachers do not have to give you any accommodations unless you've proven to the school that you need it. It is quite the shitty process to get approved by the way.
I always thought they couldn't ask you that since the parents sign papers that states there are issues, and those issues need to be accommodating. I've seen many of my classmates get up and go somewhere like the nurse's office and all they had to do was tell the teacher and the teacher would understand and they could go. They didn't have to explain anything because it was already written down since the beginning of the school year. I guess some schools work differently.
@@borngaga95 It's not illegal to ask-- it's just kind of inappropriate to do so. If you have accommodations-the school itself has to know *exactly* why you need accommodations and you don't get to hide why you need them; but the teachers as individuals don't have to know the reasons. Teachers are sent an email on what accommodations you're entitled to without the specifics of why you get them. If they start aggressively pressing for more information than they're privy to; you can complain to the education access center if you have one and get approval from them. The only thing a teacher needs to know is that you have accommodations and that's it. However, this rule and everything above goes completely out the window for religious private schools; they are completely exempt from ADA.
@@frozenraspberries1552 That's what I'm saying teachers are given information before the school year starts. Plus also, the teacher should call the parents or the guardians and never ask the student. Its embarrassing and yeah inappropriate
@@frozenraspberries1552 agreed but I don’t think the teacher was wrong asking if the student had a medical accommodation that she needed that obviously wasn’t brought to the teachers attention.
LMAO RIGHT, my teachers give paper to students they see drawing on the desk, they also make them clean it before they leave so the teacher themself and the student doesnt get charged with vandalism
I would draw in school all the damn time and I almost NEVER drew on the desk. Often it was my assignments, school folders, and notebooks. Just draw on the paper ffs it’s not scarce.
This is honestly a decent teacher, drawing on school properties which cost about $300 for like 1 desk she has a right to warn the kid. Also if they have quote on quote anxiety it does not give excuses to ruin items that are expensive now a days so in my perspective people shouldn’t be hating on her as she is just following the policies of the school.
6:30 teachers are absolutely allowed to ask if a student is having a medical issue that’s keeping them out of class for extended periods. A teacher is NOT allowed to discriminate against someone for having a medical issue, and they’re NOT allowed to FORCE a student to tell them. But if you do have a health problem that’s keeping you from class, even just saying “I’m having a medical problem, I can try to bring a doctor’s note” is enough
Fr! I have Crohn’s and I always made sure to bring that up to my teachers PRIVATELY after class or during a quiet time outside the classroom just a small one on one chat bc I had to be close to the door incase I had to all of a sudden use the restroom and I did always try to ask my teachers if I had to go I did have one teacher tho that made me feel really bad for asking and it was a theater teacher and when I asked him all he responded with was “is it an emergency” and I always felt guilted into saying no because I didn’t wanna draw attention to myself or make my teachers start asking questions that I didnt wanna answer in front of the entire class
I wouldn't even consider that a hugely invasive question, like she does. If there's something going on that means the kid CAN and HAS TO stay out of class for a third of the time, then that should've been disclosed beforehand and is almost grounds for a different kind of education or extra lessons/work. It's also a lot nicer to go "hey, kid" instead of "I've contacted your parents immediately, without even saying anything to you". Not like the teacher needs to know your exact medication and address of your doctor's office. It'd just be nice to know if you're in danger of collapsing/allergic/in excruciating pain in certain scenarios so those can be adjusted. Like asking if someone has a nut allergy after avoiding cookies, so you can bring some without nuts the next time and the kid feels included.
The school should have a policy as to how many bathroom breaks each student is allowed per class. If the student goes over that number the office will be notified and a parent/guardian will be contacted for a doctor's note or some such thing.
it makes sense, you have to have a reason to be out of the class. The teacher is responsible for their students, if anything happens during class and someone gets hurt, it's their fault. If the student is not in the classroom, the teacher can't keep an eye on them but will still be held responsible if anything happens. Besides, many students are literally being disrespectful and smug and use toilet breaks for just skipping class so it's totally understandable if the teacher gets suspicious about someone's behaviour if they leave the class often but as said, a simple chat after class is enough if you have a condition or other reason - just let the teacher know, be fair to them so they can be fair to you. uni on the other hand😂 at least in my country, they never care. If you skip too much class and don't pass it's your fault, they're gonna get money if you need to retake a course. And everyone is at least 19 at that point so they're not responsible for you anymore. You can even bring a laptop and play games, it's your call if you want to waste your time, money and opportunities
Nah this was a poor take. I’m an elementary education major and she’s doing…everything everyone would NORMALLY do. You shouldn’t allow students to draw on desks, you should have consequences set when directions aren’t followed - like taking the phone for the class period, and you should address students leaving your class for an extended period of time when it’s happening frequently. This “hate” is coming from children in her comments and duets who don’t understand foundations of education and classroom expectations.
it's really baffling that kids act very entitled nowadays. all of us used to be students but back then when a teacher gives us a punishment, it's justified because we are the ones being rulebreakers but now, kids justify their bad behavior by mentioning some illness that most likely they don't have. it's funny and ironic how they mention anxiety and doing something that will catch attention because i had schoolmates who *really* are anxious people and all of them are afraid to be a center of attention so they won't do something like that. also, these people have no clue about being a teacher. i myself am not a teacher but i know that they're being evaluated by school if their class is failing often. the blame would be on the teacher even though the student is the stubborn one. these people think that teaching is just about talking. if it were that easy, teachers wouldn't care if a student listens or not.
I've had anxiety my entire life and have never one thought about drawing on desks. It sounds like all the hate she's getting is from children who are the reason those rules exist in the first place. She acts respectfully and reasonably the entire time. She's literally just doing her job and is one of the kindest teachers I've seen
Idk man i dont think drawing on table is that bad. Like it's not exactly disrupting the class tho is it. Some neurodivergent people need to have this kind of physical activity and stimuli to focus, and while the most optimal circumstance would be letting them draw on paper instead of the desk, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
@@LizzyDizzyYopeople have to clean it up afterwards and it takes extra time and supplies, if you really need the stimuli or stress reliever than it's your responsibility to bring paper and pen/whatever. It's not that big of a deal, but more of like 'lol, just.. don't?'
@@desiderium6026 In my school, when some people get bored they doodle on the desks, but always with ink that can be rubbed out. Then when the other part of the school gets bored, they amuse themselves by rubbing out the drawings. It actually works out really well since there are more rubbers than drawers, the desks are almost always clean and when they do get drawn-on they can get cleaned out within a couple periods, haha. (Not trying to refute your point or start an argument, I get what you mean since in other places the janitors are the ones who have to clean the desks. Your comment just made me think of this.)
I would be SO happy if she was my teacher! I live in the uk and my school is definitely worse than this. The toilets are locked apart from at break time and lunch so you physically can’t go to the toilet in lessons, teachers literally snatch phones off of people and don’t give them back until the end of the day and normally give you a detention, you get sent out of the lesson if you draw on tables and you can’t eat apart from at lunch and at break if you’re outside
I feel bad for this teacher overall. When I was in high school (during the pink Razr and BlackBerry era), there was a strict “no phones” policy and everyone understood it was a big deal to get caught with your phone. It’s astounding to me that teenagers these days think they need to be on their phones all the time.
i'm currently a freshman in high school and we're allowed to occasionally look at our phones in class as long as we're not looking at them for five minutes at a time and doing other random things, but i do get the phone rules she has for her class room
Even that’s too much tbh classes are short as hell what does a high schooler really NEED to be on their phone for during the school day? If there’s a family emergency- get in touch with the school. That’s what we had to do “back in the day” and let’s be real here... not many family emergencies are happening on the daily (thank goodness, but still).

Say youre a highschooler with a job, there is no reason for you to be texting anyone from your work during school hours and you have no legal or moral obligation to do so, i genuinely cant think of a single situation other than a family emergency in which youd need to be on your phone in class and it cant wait until between periods, lunch, or after school
I'm a senior now and as I went into high school they stopped allowing them at all even if we finished our assignments early so everyone stopped working as much
@@acrimonyy yes, but also it can feel like the teacher is taking away your freedom. I do believe that students shouldn't be looking at their phones for like more than 3 minutes (with exceptions) every kid who has taken out their phone in class has been for just a few seconds to check a notification then put it away so
@@blanca3806 THIS! I never drew on a table with my anxiety. I never really doodled much at all. I just suffered in silence and thought I was insane. (I'm from Texas so mental illness doesn't exist there, apparently.)
Never doodled on desks, but definitely on my school papers. It got to the point where all my teachers told me to stop doing that and I started to fail my classes. I had one teacher that would let me draw and I had the highest grade in the class bc of that.
@@jennaa.1645 Sorry if this comes across as rude, but could you not use your own paper to doodle on? If you were having problems because of doodling on classwork/tests, you could have used your own paper or notebook, right?
@@starsiadraws then they complain you’re off task. In my experience, teachers who get pissed at you for innocent doodles on work will get equally angry at you doodling anywhere during class. They get this idea that drawing means not taking things seriously, though that isn’t always the case.
Fr, she was literally acting like an average teacher. If all my teachers acted like this, I wouldn’t hate school so much. ALSO, in my school if you don’t give stour phone to the teachers at the start of the day, you’re suspended. She’s acting so chill about it all
Honestly the teacher is not in the wrong here imo. There are rules and expectations for a classroom and if the students are not following those rules then that's on them.
gonna be honest a phone is essential its 2021 as a college student I don't use my phone in class, but I have my phone on me, school shooters, break ins, my covid pass, if any sort of disaster happens your phone should be in your pocket you don't need to give your phone to your teacher just keep it on vibrate in your pocket. Not too mention I use it as a calculator in math.
I only disagree with the bathroom one. I always struggled with the bathroom, but never got diagnosed with anything until this year, even though I’ve been complaining to doctors since I was 11. I’m now 20. I was always looked at as “trying to miss class” or “skipping” but I was in a lot of discomfort and pain.
I have anxiety, and here's a hot take: You can actually draw on this magical substance called paper instead of vandalizing school property. I _know,_ it's a really controversial opinion, but I felt like I just couldn't keep it to myself.
As a teacher-student and substitute teacher in Sweden we have a no phone rule in the classroom (with a dedicated bin) they hand in the phones at the beginning of class and get them back at the end. If I catch anyone with a phone I get the bin and let them put it in themselves since it is their property. The only exception is if a student have to take a call and I just remind them kindly to keep the phone away while waiting for the call. Never had an issue… The restroom brakes: I remind everyone that if they are leaving for the restrooms/ getting a snack/ refilling their water bottles give me a heads up and return as soon as possible. Sometimes I catch maybe 1-2 student slacking or playing table tennis which gives them 5min absence. And since I have a bit of a streak of dark humour within me, when I have to get coffee/ go to the restroom or get supplies I tell the class “Don’t kill anyone and don’t burn anything down” and when returning 2-3 minutes later “Oh great, everyone is alive!” + when the students inform me about their restroom break I also say “Don’t die” which is either met by confusion or a chuckle and the reply “I can’t make any promises!”
one of my teachers does that! honestly wish more teachers did because it's so helpful to people who maybe forget them or can't afford them. (theyre expensive affff)
@@Drider_Drow ur probably a boy, if they forget the pads, they have toget toilet paper which doesn’t help.. and if it doesn’t work, blood will be everywhere and it would be embarrassing so yes it does make her a good understanding teacher
@@Drider_Drow it’s helpful, having sanitary products is helpful. and if you’re a helpful teacher, you’re a good teacher. so yes, it does make her a good teacher
@@Drider_Drow well both of us haven't sat in her class and listened to her teach exactly, but it does show she genuinely cares about her students and has good intentions
At my school not only do you get detention, but it gets taken away for a week. My teacher said that at the school he used to work at, your phone would be taken for the whole year.
@@cringequeen2928 I don't agree with allowing phones in the classroom but how can they take it away?? Isn't it illegal or something? (I'm not from the us)
honestly she seems like a nice teacher with normal rules and I genuinely don’t understand the hate she‘s getting. Most of these comments are probably just a bunch of angry teens
For the most part, I agree, but her condescending attitude and tone along with demanding respect is annoying. I'm not a student anymore (just finished a Master's) but it irks me that she acts like that towards students. Although that might just be me due to shitty parents acting like I have to 100% respect them even as an adult when they have done very little to earn that respect. I wouldn't write hate comments or anything towards her though
@@zebraloverbridget condescending attitude? Where? I didnt hear her make any snarky remarks, she wasnt being sarcastic, nor insulting. She actually seems very nice and patient
I’m a teen in high school and i can say that i agree with this teacher, the hate she’s getting is so pointless, like it’s just ppl who want to criticise others because they are bored or smth, the could find something more useful to do
i swear, tell me you weren't raised right without telling me you weren't raised right. the teacher is perfectly valid in pretty much all of these points. these kids on TikTok seem like they're all brewing with anger issues.
yeah my moms a teacher and i dont think kids realize that most rules are not made by the teachers. its up to the principal and teachers can lose their jobs over not enforcing certain rules
She just seems like a normal, caring teacher. She’s not insanely strict she just wants her material to be the focus and it honestly sucks to see tiktok comments ragging on her when she’s not doing anything wrong lol
The problem is that tiktok is full of kids who don't like school, and since they wouldn't ever talk to their actual teachers like this _in person_ they leave anonymous comments on the internet. Except that one unfortunately phrased "blatant disrespect against me, your teacher" everything I've seen looks about right, even nice. There are lots of teachers who wouldn't ask once to put your phone away, they'd actually demand it and you wouldn't want to get on their bad side.
As a teacher, I can tell you that there is NOTHING you can do to force a student to pay attention to your subject. If the students are showing a total disinterest that speaks more of YOUR teaching style. If even after doing your best to make the class interactive the students aren't paying attention, there's NOTHING you can do. Take away the phone? They'll doodle. Tell them to stop doodling? They'll play with their pencils. Tell them to stop doing that? They'll at this point be so agravated by the constant telling them what not to do that they won't be able to concentrate at all, especially teens who haven't got the emotion-regulation thing down yet. A much better tactic is to understand that everyone has their off-day, and if they can't pay attention that day, hopefully they can use your hour of class to reset, calm down, self soothe, so they can at least pay attention to the lesson after yours. Surely they can ready up on what they missed later. This will make students respect you and like you more for being understanding towards them and their insane workload that CAN cause burn-out, and also allows the OTHER students who ARE paying attention to have an uninterrupted lesson.
@@kamataros5172 Absolutely. That’s not even saying that these kids are bad or anything. They’re just kids. They just don’t get these teachers are trying to help them yet. They’ll get there eventually
@@cecisharp yea sure, let's not try to ask them to do basic shit like not use their phone. imagine when you get your principle or HOD walking in to evaluate. like seriously? we need some basic discipline. you are right. we can't force people to actually pay attention but that's just basics that people in general need to learn. and it's frustrating when your whole profession is to teach and it seems no one except a few ever want to learn. I've had teh most atrocious shitty teachers ever, but I also was lucky enough to have parents who are teachers, and had a select few wonderful teachers of my own so I can see both sides. at some point, the problem is the student alone. students can have insane work loads, but so do the teachers, especially good teachers. half the problem with teaching is admin honestly, even when you have great students you love. I truly don't like how one sided your statement feels. teens are always gonna be emotional and crap, so what? other teens listen. other teens were raised with respect or innately listen and see the value of not using their phones even if they can't pay attention. an effort needs to be made. and not every teacher has teh energy to baby and do make up works or remedies for a student not trying. like teachers have a workload as well, and they are also adults with outside lives. they often have bills to pay and adult responsibilities unlike students, and they need to constantly find workarounds and alternatives? no. for the few amazing teachers I had that went out of their way to do those things, I appreciate them. because I know it wasn't each investing so much effort in something that doesn't always work out. thankfully, I always utilised their opportunities so I didn't waste their efforts.
as someone who goes to school in austria, its normal to give your phone when school starts. its LITERALLY in the school rules! that you need to give your phone to the teacher, who then puts it in a desk and then in a cabinet which then gets locked with a key so the kids cant take it in the 5-min breaks. also if a teacher(at least in my school idk if its the same in others) catches you with your phone/that you have your ohone on you, they, if it happens for the first time, tell you to put your phone next to the others, if it happens for the second time, they take your phone with them for the rest of the day, and if you geth caught three times, your phone will end up at the principal office and your parents/Guardian has to pick it up. and seeing ppl get so worked up over something thats so normal for me makes me realize how intitle some ppl online think they are. and i watched this vid 100s of time and i never can understand how this teacher can get sooo much hate. like she is probably one of the chillest teacher i seen in a while online. like other teachers wont even let youe DRINK WATER and she is over here letting her students eat, be on their phones when the lesson is very long, AND isnt like one of those teachers who doesnt allow you to go to the bathroom and blames you for it. and there are many of those teacher in my school.
as a former 'bad student' who would constantly ignore the teacher, draw on desks and go on my phone, i honestly have to agree with her tiktoks. the delivery isnt the best but the rules of putting their phones in the box when they have been asked multiple times to stop using them is completely fair, its disrupting the rest of the class when the teacher has to keep stopping to tell them off. as far as drawing on desks goes, its illegal and considered vandilism; teachers will be told off and sometimes even charged if their students vandilise school property while under their care, they have enough work as it is, and so do the janitors!
Literally! I have anxiety, and if I really needed to doodle, draw on your own property imo! Like, why are you drawing on the school desk. It's not yours.
Me and another kid used to write in pencil on our science desks (they were black slab tables, rather than wood desks). I used to leave messages for another kid and vice versa, never found out who they were lol. My teacher knew about it but since it could be easily wiped away, she never told me to stop. It was never particularly destructive. For the most part, I agree with this lady. Depending on the teacher, sometimes you'd get your phone back at the end of class or have your parent pick it up at the office. Not to be this guy, but its better than a teacher raging at you or "giving you the ruler" like in the "old days." These rules are pretty standard lol *also one of my favorite teachers hated people sitting on the desks, because of in her words, "you get your anal juices on them" lol She'd make you wipe the desk. No phones unless allowed in her class, no gum, no snacks. She was kinda strict, but I actually loved that lil lady. She was my homeroom teacher all 4 years. Another harmless case of vandalism: my lunch table used to leave a decorated apple for the janitors regularly (we cleaned up otherwise) One of em was a stoner apple with a little joint n all like the little edgy craps we thought we were lols
@@doodoodoodle no offence but as someone who works as a cleaner in a school I would hate to have been your cleaner 😭😅 scrubbing notes off of desks is so time consuming and tedious. And we cleaners get in trouble for all these "harmless" things that students do to school property.
I don’t even think the delivery is bad. She always starts with something respectful. She only becomes more firm once they refuse. And these are probably battles she has to fight all day when she just wants to teach.
@@Toribell1928 some of it does seem kinda passive aggressive and condescending, but i imagine that's only after having told them politely 50 different times so i can't even be too upset by it
@d b im pretty sure teachers dont draw on their desks or leave the class for 15 minutes in the middle of teaching. "respect" does not mean treating someone as more worthy than you, it means acknowledging they are a person with responsibilities and not making it harder for them when they are trying to teach you. of course that doesnt apply to all teachers, theres a lot of horrible ones, but this one seems like a good one and she only asked for the phone the THIRD time she saw this person use it.
@d b that's so immature, the teacher is already giving you an éducation, just be respectful. And it is basic decency to not use your phone when someone is talking to you...
@d b What example do you want them to lead with? Attending class while not on their phone or vandalizing property lol? They are...and while kids may not view it this way, the teachers are well, teachers. I think you should give at least a basic amount of respect (common courtesy) to everyone, especially those that are choosing to use their time to provide knowledge to you..
I dunno about her actual classes, but any teacher that passive aggressively asks me questions is going to meet resistance. And that's the tone of pretty much every tiktok in this video.
@@ItzJustJay_ Tiktoker: has issue with student Playing teacher: i asked you to stop drawing on the desk. Clean it up Playing student: [eye rolls] fiine The fact that she's making the tiktok is already passive aggressive. Like if i made a twitter post about people named after rocks in the sky who don't know what it means to be passive aggressive. And who like to name call as if that helps their argument rather than make them look like they had no real comeback. If you saw it, you'd know it was about you even if i didn't call you out specifically, and it'd be my way of passively showing aggression towards you. Does that help?
I’ve been homeschooled all my life so I’ve gone to a homeschool group. The way the group would work is this huge group of kids from ages 5 to 18 and their moms. There were 10 classes, which were the daycare-ish thing with the kids under the age of 5, the next class up had kids from preschool to kindergarten, the next class was 1st grade-3rd grade, then the next class had 4th grade to 6th grade, the next class had 7th graders, next had 8th graders, 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade. There was also a program for kids from 3rd grade to 6th grade that you would go to in the afternoon. In the elementary classes there would be the kids parents sitting in. So basically you would need to tell the parent next to you that you’re going to the bathroom and that would be fine. I was always the lucky one to sit next to the nice adults.
As a person who draws to cope with my anxiety, it really isn’t that hard to pull out a notebook or have scratch paper on hand to draw on when I need it. I think the teacher is in the right. It’s a different story when they don’t let me doodle at all, but they’re just looking out for the school property, and they don’t get new desks or chairs often so they have to make sure to take care of the ones they get.
I like drawing in class but I have terminal anxiety that someone will peak over and see my drawings. It would be so embarrassing if someone saw me drawing hentai
As someone who is currently in college trying to become a teacher, she's really doing nothing wrong lol. These tiktok teenagers are just mad bc they didn't follow basic classroom rules in high school. Teachers don't get paid enough for the amount of disrespect they get on a daily basis from teens who are in their rebellious stage of development.
I have been concluding my work in education leading up to a degree, and I agree with you. The lack of respect, accountability, and the sheer amount of entitlement I've had to deal with is immense. This teacher is very lenient.
Drawing on the desk is damaging school property no matter if it comes off, I’ve been told that in school and I completely agree with it. If a student is playing games on the phone and not learning, then I I feel like the teacher would have a right to take the phone away until the end of class.
She seems like a very reasonable teacher, I would have much preferred to have her over many of my secondary teachers I've had, and I was a kid good, albeit with attention difficulties! I actually had a teacher grab the paper I was drawing on (my own paper) and throw it in the bin without saying a word. THOSE are the ones who misguide their frustrations and those who are in it for power that I dislike. This teacher seems to actually respect her student. The people who don't like her are just the disrespectful disruptive teens who would get in trouble, hah. I'm a real shame she's getting flack.
Ohh I had a similar teacher. He once just grabbed all of my things off my desk and threw it out of the classroom. Like just like that! Without even ever saying one word. I despise that man. I wish I could meet him sometimes, like just bump into him, so I could fucking kick him in the dick,
Ooooh! How freaking rude! I hope to hell now that I have my own kid he'll feel okay to tell me if a teacher ever does shit like that cause OH I'd have words! Like is he learning the material? Is he doing the homework? Is he testing fine? Then leave him the hell alone! I had teachers that pulled crap but being a kid you always have the mentality that all the adults are on the same page... lol. My parents now are like "OMG! I would have screamed at that jerk!"
I don't think that teacher was in it "for the power". Its simply because they've had to tell students to stop messing around so many times that they are just tired of it and instead of wasting time trying to be nice to you, will simply take it off you without any kind of temper tantrum. I had teachers simply walk up to kids and grab their phones off them if they were seen using them, it was simple and effective. If they had a problem with it then they could just leave the class, because lesson time is for learning, not going on your phone.
@@emz1412 that is true! Bad choice or words, it's more so teachers who "misguided venting frustrations." I would have no issue if they ask me politely to stop or even just move the paper away from me, but it was not that... Man I've been on the end of a teacher's frustrations so many times unjustly so and it's only something I've realised looking back as an adult.
You are legally allowed to ask your students if they have medical condition. This is actually the preferred way to deal with students who are taking long bathroom breaks as they could be skipping. Instead of accusing them, you ask them if everything is okay. I have Tourette’s and would often leave the classroom if I felt like i was ticking too much and my teacher would come find me if I was gone too long and asked if I was okay, usually if I didn’t come back it was because I went to the nurse, having a tic attack. Also with the phone thing, I’m in high school and am on my phone all day. I wear my headphones and usually listen to a video like this while doing school work. My teachers 1) don’t care because I have straight A’s and 2) only get onto the students with their phones out who are failing their class or when we’re taking a test.
Bro I remember my p.e teacher asking me if I was faking it and straight up accusing me when I was having a panic attack mixed with an autistic meltdown in freshman year. Sucked :/
@@IATEALLTHECHEESE I’m sorry that happened :( people can really suck sometimes. They don’t know our personal situations but are so quick to jump to conclusions.
im reaaaallly hopping my teachers don't mind me listening to music when i go to high school next year because i have the attention span of a door frame, and music helps with that. unfortunately if my teachers need a reason for that, my parents refuse to believe i have any mental health conditions so i literally cannot get tested for them!
Yeah. She's first addressing the possibility of a physical health issue that may need addressing, but the discussion is ultimately about the reason WHY the student is skipping most of her class. It could be a health issue, but in many cases it's their mental health, attitude to the class or relationship with the teacher. It seems a bit cynical in the way she acted it, but overall it's supposed to be a way to approach the issue that makes it clear that the goal of the confrontation is not punishment but accommodation.
@@donutstew4117 Exactly, teachers don’t know if you’re using that class to recover from other classes being difficult or if they’re being bullied. So it’s best to approach the situation with no anger and with compassion for whatever the student is going through.
I'm genuinely confused at the people getting upset. What teacher allows phones at all? She is being nicer than most teachers and is entirely reasonable based on these clips.
My senior year of high school they finally allowed us the use of our phones so pretty much after I finished my school work or was in a study hall I was on my phone or school issued laptop
@@payelizabethh2131 You don't have to be specific but are you newly graduated? Like you were a senior a few years ago? Because this seems VERY new to me. Though I do think kids should be able to use their phones during any free time, just can't imagine this happening when I was in HS.
Yeah the only time I was allowed my phone in school is if you were doing a class-based activity (like in French we were looking up French current-affairs articles and translating them.) or on the last day where we were just playing Kahoot and stuff.
@@disasterhamuaku they are. When I went to highschool only a few people had phones and if a teacher saw one it was gone for the whole day/week, sometimes forever. Seems reasonable to me, kids don´t need phones in the school.
I’m in high school and there are no punishments for having phones out. It’s frowned upon to use them in class, but the teachers don’t call you out or confiscate your phone if they see it out. A lot of my classmates use them frequently. There’s kind of a “mind your own business” mentality and if you aren’t paying attention and subsequently your grades suffer, that’s completely on you.
this is the least harsh teacher i've ever seen. When i was 14 if a teacher thought they saw one person using their phone, everyone's would be put in a basket.
the fact that she even gives her students “phone breaks” or lets them go on it if theyre done with their work is awesome. like dude why are you mad that she wont let you send snaps while shes physically teaching
right she’s actually such a good teacher
@@0seunggf seriously! it’s so annoying
Giving it back at the end of class too, so effing nice ! The nicest teacher I had is school would give it back at the end of the day, but most of the time it would be at the end of the week or until a parent came by to pick it up themself
fr! my school would suspend you for it. I have to hide to tell my grandmother (im a senior in highschool and have epilepsy so i cannot drive yet) that i have to stay later than my usual half day for extra work. sucks.
Because kids these days dont give a fuck about their education and theyd rather be on their phone while their teacher is teaching valuable information and fail then put their phone away for a couple hours. 🤷♀️
This feels like another case of tiktok going after well meaning people with 1 or 2 Meh Moments bc shes honestly WAY more lenient and kind than any teacher I had in highschool
Exactly, it's just entitled children acting as though rules are unfair.
Way more than the one's in my Jr. High
Same(I'm a junior)
She’s nicer than my teachers now.
I hate teacher hate. My mother is a teacher and she doesn’t get paid enough for this kind of treatment. RIDICULOUS!!! We need to appreciate our teachers more.
As someone w/ generalized anxiety disorder, I understand doodling in YOUR notebook or papers. But like, vandalizing the desks which others have to use/clean is just rude. Then using anxiety as an excuse? That's low for people (which is a lot more than you'd expect) w/ anxiety who need outlets to ground themselves back to reality
I'm 99% sure the "anxiety" of the teens drawing on desks is self diagnosed.
I draw on the desks when I'm super bored then I erase it sometimes or make it small. Its usually just shapes like stars or diamonds, nothing too graphic. I do it for other people to see some history on the desk. If there are drawings that are inappropriate I erase them, but their always by other students so it doesnt bother me too much. It's just digusting on my desk though. I sometimes do animal drawings to cheer people up since most of my classes are so boring and our desks cant have anything on them. Or they sometimes dont allow drawing at all so I cant have paper on my desk at instruction time.
Exactly! I'm 27, and many people doodle in meetings and zoom calls on their notebooks all the time in every office I worked in. But if a grown adult with anxiety started to draw on the office desk it would be so weird 🤣 I think a lot of things they tell you in school that "prepare you for the adult world" is BS, but this is fair enough.
I never had to clean for other people so honestly I don't see why some people here (the com) make such a big deal out of it as long as it's not like carved in the desk ( which I've seen happen), written in non erasable marker or something inappropriate I really don't see the problem
I've litterally never met in my life someone who was bothered by that 🤷🏻♀️
You cant even shade on the desk lol, paper is so much better desks have the worst texture to try and draw on it all gets smudged
people are getting mad at her for giving a kid TWO chances to get off their phone while they are explicitly on their phone and ignoring the warnings. At my old middle school, if your phone so much as buzzed, on it or not, teachers were required to confiscate the phone and take it to the office.
My middle school was like that too, but they would just take it. Ofc it depended on the teacher but when phones were too much of a problem they started just taking them
At my high school, (general rules) the rule was you get 1 warning, then the next time the teacher takes it until the ends of class, and then if it happens again, it gets confiscated to the office until the end of the day. But each teacher might be more lenient with phones, or more strict (you’ll have to put it in a phone dock), but generally it just has to be silenced and away unless you’re in lunch or study hall
my middle and hs were & are like that. if youre caught on your phone, or if it buzzes, it's immediately taken and you get either a detention or clinic depending on whether or not it's your first offense.
tbh it IS law in la that no phones are allowed at school but yk
Back in my day, we didn't have cell phones. We'd have to walk all the way to the office to use a phone and only if it was okayed by a teacher. *Says in a decrepit, old lady voice with a shaking, wrinkled 40-year old hand pointing at nothing.*
I'm so glad everyone here understands that she's a very kind teacher. She definitely doesn't deserve the hate she's been getting.
I just see it as she wants the best for her students and they're hating on her for absolutely no reason, there's nothing she does that is unreasonable
@@pandeebean7657 They’re hating her because they kids/teens, many who critical thinking and proper judgement is not formed in the brain. I feel bad for the teacher.
@@hanatemonstas4485 the two about the students who brought back a snack and the one where she said how she would respond to a student taking long bathroom breaks were the only ones that actually anger me a little
i think shes a pretty good teacher from her videos. she seems passionate and kind about teaching and she also doesnt get paid very well (if she was doing really rude things, that may not be a great excuse lol) and taking away phones because youre using them in class instead of paying attention is pretty normal (at least in my past schools, thats what they would do) but yeah i dont really get the hate idk
She's totally the kindest teacher. One time, she got caught on cam being nice to her students saying nice things such as "F*ck you" and ""Sh*t." So glad her kindness went viral on Tiktok a YEAR ago.
She's a very typical teacher, as someone who's had actually bad teachers she's nice and fair with rules :/
right
Yup
Honestly agreed
Agree, she's not that bad. And she just wanted to teach students to follow simple rules.
yeah what this teacher does is standard. ive seen worse teachers who make the parents pick up the phones after one offense. so this teacher isn't that bad. she's just an average teacher who's tik toks reminded students of school
Anxiety isn’t a justification to draw on other peoples property. Just keep a sketch book on you or doodle on your paper/schoolwork. That’s what I did. I have anxiety. The only time I drew on desks was early in elementary school
Also this teacher was pretty reasonable compared to teachers I’ve had experiences with. Just be respectful to your teachers so long as they’re being respectful to you. They’re just trying to do their job.
Exactly… I don’t recall anyone drawing on desks in high school…. What…
I have MAD anxiety, i have been sent to the hospital for hyperventilating, but i would never draw on others property, i love drawing, but that isnt a justification! Just use a paper lol
Exactly! Someone had to pay for those desks at some point and vandalizing them is just disrespectful.
Can't wait for when anything is justifiable with "bUt I hAvE aNxIeTy"
Those kids will have a rough time in the real world. At least, I hope.
i have generalized anxiety disorder, and it was more of a nervous tick of mine to /erase/ or /clean/ desks as opposed to drawing on them. plus whatever you draw will disappear on a desk, at least on paper you can take it with you and admire it later??
yeah this teacher is completely reasonable, idk where people get it in their heads that teachers are basically just older peers/babysitters.
Her rules :
Don’t ruin school property
Don’t be on your phone during certain times (other times are fine)
Ask to get a snack instead of asking to go to the bathroom
Don’t take excessively long breaks .
What a horrible teacher
Such a horrible teacher
Shes so horrible man
Yeah what a “bad” teacher 😔
Fr like what a shit teacher /sarc
Yeah what a meanie (cap she's chill)
She's looks like a genuinely kind teacher and absolutely being reasonable. That's normal for a teacher to do. I don't get why people hate on her for making proper decisions?
Same. She seems so nice.
British teachers are very different to her which is what’s confusing to me, like there usually really nice and treat you basically like adults and joke around with you but when you annoy them they will literally explode
A lot of kids don’t really want the education, which I get; they’re young. A lot of people treat high school like daycare for young adults.
people are just idiots. when i was in school kids who disrespected the teacher for just teaching irked me so much but it's worse seeing adults still holding onto it like you're just outing yourself as a huge manchild lmao
I think its her tone? I'm not quite sure but her tone seems kinda derogatory? the one this I was slightly annoyed at was the comment of students taking a long time to use the bathrooms, because someone could be on their period or (like me) have to walk down 3 flights of stairs to go to the gender neutral bathroom but this is kinda a specific thing for me anyway I'm rambling, but this might be an answer to why she is getting hate.
I too, am a child of the Homeschool Disaster, and can vouch that if i made my teacher upset, she put the mashed potatoes on my plate for dinner with quite a bit of aggression.
Oop
Haha. I'm actually thinking about homeschooling my kiddos, but idk if I could do it. In Ohio they're very strict with even their homeschooling rules/requirements.
@@LynnAgain83 idk how it is in ohio but i live in texas and there’s a big homeschooling community in my hometown and a lot of the parents ran in similar circles and would take turns teaching different subjects so maybe you could look into a group that’s maybe doing that? the education system here is really subpar and i honestly wish i was homeschooled
@@LynnAgain83 hmm, are they? I mean I grew up homeschooled in Ohio, and I dont remember there being a super scary amount of regulations. But maybe things have changed. I will say though that there are some large homeschooling communities in Ohio, depending on where you live.
@@kaleighm993 also homeschooled in Texas and can attest to this. There are a lot of co-ops and homeschool groups where people collaborate. There's also a program called k-12 where homeschooled kids essentially do school online. I knew a few people who did this at least part time.
For the desk drawing thing with the redirection, that is often taught in classes for child development and psychology. She recognized a need for her student and replaced it with an alternative so the student could continue. That's just a sign of her being a good teacher.
your pfp is so punny
I agreed what you said
yeah. also the main reason why they get so upset when kids do that is because either they or the custodian has to clean it up.
@@rrrrssss156 exactly. Or another student ends up cleaning it because they are annoyed by the person who did it. It's really common for other students to be annoyed by writing on the desk. It's disrespectful and they could've just used a piece of paper
unrelated but nice pfp heheh ♠️
besties, teachers have anxiety too which is made worse when we get in trouble for permanent stains on the desks
love, a teacher with anxiety
To be fair she is posting about dealing with angry teenagers on a platform that is comprised of 90% angry teenagers, this poor woman is fighting a losing battle
Haha 😆 So true! She's got more guts than me!!
That's a great point! Everyone here is defending the teacher but the comments on tik tok just show entitlement on another level. I feel bad for teachers they all need a raise
Toxic Tiktok
Some kids need a reality check. I wouldn’t be offended by anything she said.
I get the feeling the teens want to yell at their teachers irl but can’t so they yell at her instead cause she can’t give them detention

frrr
for real, i dont know why so many people are mad-
I have the same rule in my class.
And I didn't know that someone might find it terrible ...
She is getting this hate for applying basic school rules because there are a lot of children on tiktok that took that personally. When I was in school we weren't even allowed to bring phones to class.
Yeah, and it should stay that way. I say that as a high school student, mind you.
Yep, if your teacher saw your phone at all when I was in school it would go in their drawer immediately. Chad Chad is correct, though: these kids need to step up their game on being sneaky!
I see you everywhere 😭 (btw hello fellow swiftie)
@@thisrandomdude_ Seriously. Phone addiction is a real thing, and kids and teens think it’s just a silly “boomer” thing to say. If you’re on your phone, no, you’re not paying attention to class. It’s literally impossible for our brain to do multitasking with two high-attention demanding tasks. If you need your phone for emergencies, then keep it in your pockets, out of sight.
Well that's no good, because if there's an emergency how are you going to call/text your parents? Kids need their cellphones, they just need to learn not to get distracted and not use it when its unnecessary.
The reason why we can't just get up and use the bathroom if the teacher doesn't know you're going and there's a fire then they are going to be able to know somebody's in the bathroom or not so it's a major fire hazard
I hope this cleared some stuff up
It's mainly just an issue of not knowing where kids you're legally responsible for are in case of an emergency, not just fires /lh
Yes. thank you.
Also, not all schools are great and sometimes things can happen in the bathroom. We've had everything from drugs, fighting, and..."inappropriate contact with another student" in the bathrooms. So when something like that happens, people want to know when the kid left and how long they were gone. For example, sometimes there's just a HAZE of vape smoke in the bathrooms, to the point of making it unusable. Even if the kid who was vaping is gone, it's really easy to say "hmm, well we have Tommy, who was gone from science class for six minutes, Jesse, who was gone from math class for ten minutes, and George, who's been gone from English class for forty minutes and still isn't back yet. Who could possibly have been vaping?" Another time we had a kid straight up punch the soap dispensers, which aparently damaged them. Since there were only a few kids who used the bathroom in that time, they were eventually able to narrow it down to the kid that did it. So if some sort of rule is broken while you're using the bathroom, the adults can figure out who did it.
Honestly, the teacher was doing nothing wrong, TikTok was just being a toxic platform and slandering her because she was doing her job. Teachers don’t get the respect the deserve; they put up with so many bratty kids like the ones yelling at her on TikTok. Not even to mention how little they are paid for their hard work. Teachers are so amazing. This was just another case of the people on TikTok proving how toxic and horribly mean they are :)
preach!!!!
I agree, we really need to not only pay teachers more but also teach students to respect them. But I must say that teachers have to be patient, kids are not going to be perfect and they have to be calm and supportive when it comes to kids. For example, if a student is drawing on the desk due to anxiety, perhaps the teacher should have provided the student a white board or sheet of paper for them to draw on instead.
You have to realize how unaccepting the school system is of neurodivergent people, like for example if a student has ADHD. If the student requires something to draw on during class to help them focus on the lesson, they should be able to do that, and if they’re drawing on the desk a different resource to draw on should be provided.
Each student is different which means that teachers have to be really really patient with everyone, which I understand can be tedious, but it’s important to try to make the learning experience a positive one for all students!
Anyways, sorry, just wanted to provide my take. I also feel bad for the poor teacher getting bombarded on TikTok- the commenters are being unfair.
Have a good day :)
@@maxstone6545 Bruh everyone got paper in HS, the teacher doesn’t need to give you one
Both of my parents are teachers and they have dealt with so many shitty disrespectful students. They really don’t get paid enough.
@@etcismyinitials Sometimes the student could benefit more from something else, like a whiteboard/dry erase marker.
I’m just saying that the school system is so flawed, not just for teachers but for students as well. It’s been designed by people who don’t have to deal with it and don’t like facing the ugly truth that it will take some large changes to fix our school system, not just pulling up anti-bullying posters in the hallways. If we altered it to make all parties more comfortable, more learning would be achieved in a school environment.
This is completely valid. She’s being respectful while talking to her students, she’s correcting them on their wrongs and trying to understand the situation. She explains her sides of things and works to make all the students feel better. I see no problem.

@@en3myspott3d54 Very true
She's respectful which is good, but also she's policing too much and crossing the line with some things and since she's like showing off that she does that, that's what makes it bad, students etc being mad are also valid
As someone with pretty severe anxiety, I think a lot of Tiktok users just…expect people to be okay with their destructive and unhealthy coping mechanisms? Like vandalizing someone else’s property is not a good coping mechanism, and people shouldn’t have to bend over backwards and let you RUIN THEIR STUFF because it makes you feel better. Literally just use paper.
@Sleeping Quest yeah, i draw on paper in classes a bunch, just dont draw on the desk
Yes. You shouldn't be vandalizing the desks, you can get a sketch book out and doodle/draw there, but don't draw on the desks. It's not hard
It's as if they think a teacher is just gonna let them be distracted and learn nothing lol
Hell, what people on TikTok and Twitter label a "coping mechanism" isn't genuine 90% of the time. They're usually just reaching hard to label someone as "ableist" to justify getting pissy at them.
Draw on paper 🙂
Re: drawing on the desks
1. Just draw on paper
2. Pencil doesn't come up as easily as one would like
3. Janitors are not paid to clean up vandalism and don't have the time to clean every desk thoroughly
Students are just sometimes mindlessly destructive. It's not malicious but it is annoying. Completely unnecessary to stab holes through erasers, snap pencils in half, leave garbage everywhere, put gum on stuff, or draw all over nondrawing materials.
I'm just glad we've mostly moved past "dangerous licks" AKA documenting theft of school property for attention on the internet from strangers.
she was honestly being super reasonable like idk why people hated her lmfaooo
I agree
If children were allowed on their phones in class, they wouldn’t learn anything. So I think phone jail is a good rule. In my school if you are caught with your phone, it is confiscated, you are given a detention and your parent has to pick it up. Phone jail would be amazing. No punishment and no telling parents?
@Maplebark I agree 100%
fr
Some of my teachers had phone jail too, and so I knew not to be on my phone in those classes
Bottomline: The backlash is just because Tiktok is a platform full of kids around her students' age range. And they hate school, at least for the time being, so they take out their frustration on her.
Honestly, teaching is such a thankless job. I work in a movie theater and 95% of the time the worst customers are either parents or teenagers. Teachers have to deal with both and for an entire year instead of just a few minutes per person.
@@thingthang2904 teachers are basically the professional version of a babysitter. i was kind of a troublesome student back then but when i got caught, i am not spewing out some kind of illness to justify what i'm doing. i would take the punishment and be tough about it. nowadays, kids are competing on who's more softer. it's embarrassing.

The fact that in the "sus", bathroom break one, all she said was "hey, if you're getting snacks, just let me know." She didn't even say you couldn't have snacks.

Nice circle jerk that was triggered by a few pissy teenagers--really showing them that you're not part of the snowflake generation! Lmao
But to OP, yeah, a lot of kids don't realize that wandering the halls is a safety issue, but the vast majority will listen based on authority alone and even more will when you give students the respect of explaining policy. High schoolers are almost legal adults. If we want them to be ready for that, we have to start treating them like that
With the bathroom breaks I do understand as most kids especially at my school just “go to the bathroom” when they are really just skipping class to talk to others
Honestly she seems like a really nice teacher to have. All of her rules sound reasonable to me. I feel like the people who are upset with her are mostly high schoolers who do these sorts of things, and are upset that they cant
I feel like those ppl have had worse teachers do abusive things to them and they took all their anger out on her
@@Name-tn1zg that actually makes a lot of sense. I didn’t think about that
Honestly the only thing I thought was off limits was the asking why they were on the bathroom. Let them go? It's not disrupting the class, if they need to eat, it doesn't get food on the desk and if they're overwhelmed it gives them a break to go to the bathroom, breath a little, wash their face and come back. Also, "medical reason" is so stupid in a country people can't afford healthcare, sometimes you know what you have, but don't have a doctor's note
The people who legit complain about this woman's teaching are probably entitled little kids who think they are grown.
@@Pepperkit I mean that’s pretty much tiktok’s audience, at least the kind who would give enough of a shit to comment on her videos.
Honestly, with the drawing on table thing, no one ever considers the cleaning staff and I think that's very disrespectful. My mother is a cleaning lady at my ex school and any drawings that are left at the end of the day take away a bunch of time in their tight shift schedule. Yes, maybe one pencil drawing isn't an issue, but imagine having to clean 25 or more rooms worth of them with minimal time, while also having to clean everything else. It is worse with ballpoint pens, which do not come off easily, especially if they've been left for a while, as is the case with markers. For those you actually need to take out even more time and special cleaning material, which can get you stuck on one table for up to 30 minutes. Not to mention anything that doesn't come off is likely to get you yelled at by supervisors during inspections, even though they do not work at schools and don't know what it is like. So while the student may not think drawing on the table is a big deal, it makes someone else's day much easier to just draw on paper. The teacher is being respectful by watching out for other people.
I just automatically cleaned my desk whenever I drew on it. and I was never dumb enough to use pen. that pissed me off. it's prob why my teachers never said anything to me tho. because they knew I was one of the few who actually cleaned up after myself. and I rarely drew on tables, my notebook was for that.
Exactly! Thank you.
It is something I actually don't understand. When I was teaching I literally had bins of different colored paper that were right there. And my first thought was always of the cleaning people.
Especially because drawing on a table is just plain property damage. The table doesn't belong to you, it's school property or state so drawing on it and not cleaning it is just damaging it
Teacher perspective. Most cleaning crews definitely don’t clean the desk surfaces. They don’t make enough for that!
@@brokenbottle Hello, yes! Like I said, my mother is cleaning staff and when I still went to high school, I'd help her out as a holiday job. You're totally right! They really don't, and on the daily they often wouldn't rigorously clean each table, but they are told to do it every day if something big is on the tables (like drawings) and during school breaks they have to do every table quite intensively as a deep-clean. But this is from a german perspective so it might not be applicable to other countries. Because I worked during those times, I can confirm that scrubbing pen off a table can totally suck (and you for sure don't get paid enough)
as a teacher, yes we are supposed to be made aware of medical issues that require the student to be able to go the restroom without restrictions because you have to be aware of where the students assigned to you are and you have to let those students to just go without asking if its something medical.
The issue is that many school districts are absolutely shit at proper accommodations and the school board is responsible/ gets to say what they will or will not recognize and approve. So there could be students with medical issues that are legitimate but aren't on their file due to the board refusing to add it.
I went through school without any accommodations (due to a shit mother), and luckily my teachers were understanding. However, I have seen countless cases of school boards treating disabled students horribly and refusing really basic accommodations without a legitimate reason. All because the disability wasn't one that was visible or one of the "real" ones the public thinks of when you say disabled. (think being blind, paralyzed, downs syndrome, seizures, and other more prominent disabilities)
Does having a period count as a medical condition ?
@@skylerpoduska not a condition but it is something more important than going pee bc yknow you cant control the bleeding,, so yeah it might as well be an emergency if you didnt expect it to come that day, also BRING EXTRA UNDERWEAR AND PANTS TRUST ME THAT COULD SAVE YOU FROM A VERY UPSETTING TIME
@@skylerpoduska it does, but it's something you should explain to the teacher if you're spending 15 minutes in the bathroom.
bro my school literately makes us keep our phones completely silented in our lockers or, with a PARENT NOTE we can put them, still silented in a shoe holder in the front of the class. her policy is completely fair.
That woman is incredible patient and reasonable. The world is going insane if asking a kid not to vandalise a desk or to not pay attention to their phone during classes is harsh 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you!!!!!!!!
like seriously. I have anxiety and I'd just draw in my notebook or something when i needed a bit of a distraction rather than right on the desk. perfectly reasonable.
This teacher gives her students PHONE BREAKS, that's EXTREMELY GENEROUS. Kids do need to learn how to read the situation and know when is a good time to be on their phone and when isn't, that's just part of being responsible and well adjusted.
The lack of accountability and entitlement in the comments of her videos make me very upset. If this is what the generation has come to, then I suppose absolutely no one can propose even the simplest of rules?
Oh she gives phone breaks :O THATS kibda dope
I know right? I was a student in a french highschool and we were not even allowed to use out phones during the whole day, not during breaks except in a special designated place, but for middle schoolers no phones during the entire 8h hours of school, which to me sounds normal, you are in a study and socializing environment, you can read, study, talk with your friends but phones are for when you’re at home
@@gelineaujuliette2465 It was the same in my old school except if you were caught using your phone at all, you would first get a warning, then they took it and gave it back at the end of the day and lastly they took it and your parents had to pick it up.
@@moasamuelson my school literally
Her phone policy is pretty considerate. When I was in high school, if a teacher saw you with your phone, they’d take it, and your parent had to come pick it up in the front office. Of course, not all teachers did that, but most of them did.
I knew a teacher who would outright sell the phones if he took them away
I went to school before cellphones were a thing.. and I can't believe they're allowed in class at all. Unless there's a medical reason (diabetics using a CGM etc), you don't need your phone in class.
@@misterkitethey’re not allowed in class, but you’re allowed to have them if they’re in your bag or something.
At my school, if you are seen with your phone, it gets taken up and they give it back after a day, or you could go up to the office and pay $20 for it. But every time it gets taken up to the office the price goes up another $20.
@@PinkOmenN7 it was exactly the same for me at my school, we even had one teacher who insisted we put them in little bags that hung on the wall each lesson (no surprise that was the same teacher who couldn't stand that we hung our coats on our chairs)
asking to go to the bathroom is a really good rule. they cant just let you leave the classroom without not knowing because they will get fired. also they're lucky they can get snacks in class; aus schools dont let you.
I’m pretty sure a kid with anxiety wouldn’t want to draw on the desk, where anyone can see what you’ve drawn, especially after being called out by the teacher
Tbh I have anxiety and used to doodle all the time on the desk. Mostly the ones that were already drawn on to hell. But I dont know if that was due to my *anxiety* of all things. Maybe it's just doodling or scratching with ur pen they meant but like kinda did help me but
People gotta stop excusing things they want to do because of "anxiety"
If ur called out for it, switch to paper. You dont get a free pass at destroying things :/ especially if you dont even have the mentall illness and are using it to excuse your behaviour.
i have anxiety and i usually just rip off a paper from a notebook and doodle on there. the only times i draw on the table is when i don’t have paper available and even then, i do it really lightly so it erases easily :p
It’s best to offer them some paper to doodle on or something else to fidget with
@@pogpogpurinn why can’t y’all just use paper ? Ya don’t have paper ????

I’m baffled that people are tearing her apart for saying “put your phone away” like when I was in high school the teachers would threaten to read the messages. Kids are really upset that they can’t use phones in school now? You telling me a movie theater deserves more respect than the place people are trying to get an education in?
I think it's just the way the teacher makes her videos. The way she talks and the looking down at the camera give a condescending vibe to me.
She probably teaches small kids so she's used talking that way, but since TikTok is mostly teens it feels condescending and thus the backlash. Idk tho I'm just guessing.
@@Beeetlejjug She said she teachers high school in the video but the POV of the student seems exactly like you said. I think she tried to make it more realistic with the angle choice but it just doesn't look good. She should put the camera higher so she doesn't seem to be looking over kids even if it isn't as realistic
Fr, back in middle school our assistant principal would literally confiscate cell phones in the hallways and read text messages right in front of you, and if you made a scene he'd keep it and there was nothing you could do about it. Kids these days have the chillest teachers by comparison 😂
It's kids. Kids hate being told what to do.
I think reading the messages is way too far though.
This is literally so normal for a teacher, and she’s being really nice about it. I had teachers call me out in front of the entire class for drawing on *my own looseleaf paper*. If I drew on the desks at school I would have been killed on sight. The problem is that tiktok is comprised of mostly teenagers who are still in school, so of course they’re going to be upset about teachers enforcing rules that they don’t like, and making weak “I’m so woke” arguments explaining why the teacher is bad, actually. “Drawing on the desk helps with anxiety :)” then just... draw on a piece of paper????? Would you draw all over your own belongings?? The entitlement hurts me agdjcdhhdjd
Ikr theyre so spoilt :/ theyre the reason i dont like school, not the teachers
As I always say, mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse. I have a teacher who had a box of fidget toys in her class for people to use. You can doodle on paper, or get fidget toys yourself to help out. If anxiety is the problem (which I doubt it is, personally I’d be too anxious about getting caught lol) there are plenty of solutions that don’t constitute vandalism.

Tbh she sounds like an incredible teacher. I'm a student who really likes to draw in class (I have Autism), and I only drew in the desk like two times when I was younger, but almost all the time I just draw in a SketchBook, it's actually paper and you can keep your artwork. And just getting a cheap notebook also works, just don't destroy the desks please, in my old school, the desks were horrible in the best scenario, they were sticky, full of gum, and filled with not family friendly drawings.
Also her rules look reasonable, like she warned a student about using the cellphone while she's doing her job? That's fine, and sometimes is necesary to get those little fuckers out the students range. She always leaves everyone go to the bathroom? Cool. She leaves her students to *eat* in class? Incredible! Idk why everyone hates her, she looks neat, what do the TikTok mfs want? A "Cool" teacher? (I had a lot of those in my old school. I literally broke down getting home everyday, from how horrible the class was, they were throwing things at eachother, normally hitting me because I sat in the middle line, screaming at eachother and putting loud asf music.

hello sinners-
From a teacher’s perspective: we are legally required to know where our students are (this is especially important in cases of emergency). At our school site, students have been vandalizing the bathrooms, so that’s another thing for teachers to monitor. I have had a few students just walk into other teacher’s classrooms to interrupt/visit their friends. Honestly, I don’t think anything she said on her Tiktoks were bad. I think it’s missing the key element of rapport that teachers build with students.
Phone policies, desk drawing, bathroom rules are all things that teachers have to enforce from the school site/district; it’s like being upset at a cashier when they tell you to put a mask on? Of all the things teachers could be put on blast for (racism, sexism, ableism, etc.), I don’t think this teacher in particular deserves it.
Preach!!
This teacher seems super awesome and chill. Her delivery on some.of her tik toks is a bit condescending, but she has every right to do so.
Hell, she waited until her student had been on their phone for a good 5 minuites before saying anything. My old history teacher would see a phone and it would be gone.
I agree, as a high school student, I've noticed that alot of my peers don't like teachers solely on the fact that the teacher enforces rules. Like my graphic design and photography teachers have a great system for bathroom breaks. Its a simple check in and out system but its effective. Its really helpful for someone like me with social anxiety. But others in my class hate those teachers because they have a chart and don't just let them walk out without any notice. People also don't like them cus they don't allow us to play games on the computers!?! I don't get it. Teachers are just enforcing nessesary rules in a classroom, the kids in my high-school have no respect.
i totally agree. people are overreacting about the phone thing. teachers often tell us to put our phones away and if we get caught 3-5 times we get it taken away for the period. it honestly isn't that bad, it's just a bit frustrating sometimes lmfao. it's normal and a reasonable rule, students need to be paying attention and our teachers are a lot more lenient than the ones at my old school

Tbh she seems like a chill teacher. Most of mine didn’t allow any bathroom breaks and made us all put our phones in the cabinet as soon as we entered the classroom. If it was seen after that it was an immediate write up. This lady seems genuinely concerned for her students and actually wants to teach. 10/10.

@little old me if our phones are seen at all at any point of the day even before school has started or after (you aren't allowed it on the school site) it gets taken off you, and your parents have to pick it up, if they cant pick it up that day, you don't get your phone back for however many days. you also get a detention if you get it taken off you too many times. i thought it was normal not being allowed phones?? 😐😐

As a high school student: I feel bad for this teacher. She’s doing her best, but because most of her platform is the same age as her students, she’s getting immense hate. I’ve most definitely had bad teachers, and this woman is NOT one.
i had a math teacher once that was so neglectful. i figured out that if i erased the title of my homework from the night before and just put the current assignment as the title, he wouldn't even notice that the answers i wrote didn't fit the assignment at all. at least this teacher clearly cares about an effective learning environment. limiting distractions helps both the teacher and the students. she's really just trying to make sure everyone does their job well.
She’s not, like, *the best* but yeah she’s fine and reasonable

No? It really is their property; or better yet the property of the parents. Teachers can put it somewhere else in the classroom for the day yes, but they cannot take it away as a form of punishment or for extended periods of time.

best response. fucking kids and pre-teens thinking they know how the world should work
I don’t think you should be escorted by security to the fucking office like she said in the video When I went to high school the SRO officers they are our security loves to use tasers and pepper spray on kids
"let kids have their phones" buddy the people she teaches are probably older than you
Holy hell, i don't understand how people are hating on her; generally speaking, she's not only doing fine as a teacher, she's actually going the extra mile by offering alternatives and being patient with the student's potential disrespect. It's pretty disappointing to see how teachers get treated that are (at least online) doing their best to fulfill their job. A job most people wouldn't even dare to commit to.
Google en passant?
@@Joshpods its a chess thing right? What about it?
Relating to the “anxiety is an excuse to vandalize school property” thing, I just thought how weird it is that some people use their mental illnesses/disorders to rationalize their bad behaviors that actually affect others.
When I was in secondary school, a kid in my class frequently bullied me, both physically and mentally. It got so bad to the point that he was cutting off my hair IN CLASS, while I was crying and unable to fight back. After that, his mom was forced to come to my house and apologize to me on behalf of her son. And you know what, SHE DID NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR SH*T. She told me that her son has ADHD, that’s why he did what he did and hopefully I will understand when I’m older.
Okay, so your son’s ADHD somehow excuse him from the fact that he’s been bullying me for a year now? So I’m just gonna blame the suicidal thoughts on myself?
A message to that woman and her son: f**k you, I’m better now but I had to deal with years of trauma after that experience 🖕
The way we both had the same experience LMAO. My bully pushed me around, smoked cigarettes, verbally abused me and dumped a handful of hair gel into my hair all while IN CLASS. The teachers were even afraid of her - she had ADHD and we never heard the end of it. The funniest part is that my own ADHD was undiagnosed for years because I had a very specific idea of what ADHD was based on those interactions 🙃
I have ADHD and oh man I cannot _tell_ you how many times I cut people's hair in school. Oh wait yes I can it was 0 times because I'm not a fucking psychopath
WTf adhd doesn’t even make you do any of these things 😭. Some people with adhd can be impulsive or hyperactive but it doesn’t make you a piece of shit. I know someone with diagnosed ADHD and they’re really friendly
I have adhd and I sure do love bullying kids because i have adhd.
No, actually adhd is not an excuse to bully people. You arent a bully because you have adhd, you are a bully because you are a piece of shit
As somebody who’s best friend has ADHD, I can confirm in class he just sneaks behind people and cuts off their hair.
The people getting mad at her for taking a students phone cos "People might need it for an important reason" are acting like she didn't take the phone away cos the kid was playing a game
yeah, if youre sitting in class and briefly check your phone to see if someone has texted you, you arent getting your phone taken away. If you knew beforehand youd need to be on your phone for important reasons, then wouldnt the teacher have known that already? or wouldnt you have explained it to her the first time she asked? I have no idea why everyone is so upset at her, she seems perfectly reasonable to me
There was one comment I saw that had a lot of replys, most of them were high schoolers telling adults that there are reasons to be on their phone while some of the adults were saying that you shouldn't need your phone at all for no reason whatsoever, I am pretty sure it is the top comment right now you can check it out
Yeah if you just tell most teachers (most not all) they’ll be understanding about stuff. I’ve even had a teacher who would let people leave class to answer phone calls as long as it was something important (most common thing was work)
fr i think if something was really that important, the teacher would make an exception and let the student use it quickly to text their parents or whatever it is they need to do
Well no because I've had my phone taken for TEXTING MY THERAPIST BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK and "because I didn't ask" it was taken away.
People often do need it for an important reason.
Bruh people clearly have never had an actual bad teacher. I once had a teacher who took my pencil away because I was drawing on my worksheet, I had another teacher take points off of my assignments if I had a drawing ANYWHERE on the paper. She’s a good teacher some people are just way too sensitive.
right! i had my phone in my lap durning middle school cause it makes me feel safer if i can feel it on me incase i need to call my mom or something quickly. and the teacher looked UNDER my desk to see my lap and just snatched my phone and didn’t let me have it even after i had a panic attack right in front of her, and she KNEW i have DIAGNOSED anxiety
i had a teacher yell at me in the middle of class for “not paying attention” to the lesson when i was getting a highlighter out of my bag and then blasted me in front of the class to ask me what she was talking about, which caught me so off guard that i forgot what she was talking about. she didn’t resume the lesson until i answered but i was so anxious i couldn’t think so the whole class stared at me for like 10 minutes trying to desperately figure this out while she used me as an example as to why you should pay attention in her class
I had a teacher give me detention for copying down the notes off the board which is literally what we were supposed to be doing.
@@donttellthehighpreist6530 I had an actual bad teacher who got super pissed off with students who asked questions. She had moved from being a regular teacher to a gifted teacher. I talked with her after class and explained that I only asked questions out of curiosity, not to be a dick, and that most of us who asked questions that she perceived as interruptions just wanted to know more. She was a bit less pissy after that but she still didn't really get the difference with gifted students so she wasn't the best.
Teachers need to be strict when dealing with high schoolers. My math teacher was the most kind yet strict teacher. Most kids hated her, but she was such an amazing teacher!
I work for a school district in maintenance and that was a timid interaction. What you saw was all teachers can do. I’ve been kicked in the head while working, I’ve seen chairs fly across halls, water bottles thrown through windows, and that’s just k-5th grade. Middle school is the worst, there’s a constant stream of kids wandering the halls all day because they won’t go to class. Middle school kids overdosing in bathrooms, and the amount of shit they destroy
Honestly, this teacher is what i would consider a NICE teacher. Everything she does it more than justified and she's acting in a respectful manner, makes me think the comments are from students who have some underlying rage as they had once been caught doing something against the rules.
Seems like misplaced anger they have from teachers who wronged them or something.
I wouldn't have the patience to be a teacher if the classroom was the tik tok comments.
It's the fact that she thrusts these POV scenarios onto viewers where the viewers are getting the experience of being told off even if they're not actually doing anything irl. And it takes a lot of kids back to scenarios where they've actually been told off unfairly. It will always feel unjust no matter how much context she provides of how her students are drawing on the desk, not putting away their phones, etc
@@hyukleberry5567 I'm still in high school and am constantly a target for shitty teachers, but even I can see that she's justified. It doesn't feel unjust to people who can look past their emotions, quit projecting, and just take in information logically
@@unpreparedwithacapitalf I'm in uni. Unlike what you assumed, her videos don't bother me because I rarely got in trouble and the times I did, I could only wish my teachers were so patient. I have nothing to project. Now, I don't think peoole should be taking it out on her or being childish in the comments, but clearly there's a reason why people have swarmed her page. Imagine making a tiktok and it's dedicated to "POV Im your mom and I tell you to clean your room". Everyone can relate to being a little lazy, so no matter how much context you give about how the room was outrageously dirty (at a level that was unacceptable for most viewers), it will still invoke negative emotions because of their own memories. She also doesn't show what she's dealing with, she doesn't set it up so you can empathise with her, so people default to empathising with the student because most of us have been there before. Moreover, no matter how justified a teacher is in something like taking your phone, it just doesn't feel good being caught slacking. Even if you rationally understand that you kinda had it coming, most people understand the shitty feeling of getting in trouble when they deserved it. So it doesn't help her case. This is why people find her annoying even if she's technically right.
And, this whole issue aside, the fact that a grown ass adult is making these videos to prove how justified and respectful she is in communicating with her students is just...weird, especially because she doesn't seem to be making a point about healthy student-teacher dynamics/healthy punishment to other teachers, but rather, pandering to kids and highlighting herself as a teacher better than what most people have. This isn't inherently wrong, but personally this is what rubs me the wrong way about her vids.
@@hyukleberry5567 I wasn't assuming anything about you specifically. I was referring to the people commenting on her videos. But my point still stands - the kind of fight or flight immediate reaction to being told off in person might be to blame the teacher (even when they're right), but it's different when it's thousands of people sitting at home and getting worked up in the same way over a video. They have time to reflect on what they're saying and think rationally because they themselves are not being told off. I agree though I don't get the idea of her videos and they're really not proving much but I guess there's only so much content you can make as a teacher.
You know she actually seems like a nicer teacher compared to a lot of other ones you'll have
I don't see any of what she's doing as wrong💀
Exactly, she seems like a chill teacher, it’s just that since TikTok’s target audience is mostly kids who’s ages are around the ones she teaches, they take out their anger on her.
Same
How about her bringing in a school officer over someone not giving their phone
@@diegode415 if you don't put your phone away after being asked once, you're dumb. In any other school they would've just taking it away without even asking and give it back to you after like a day
Fr shes actually doing her job right , but no some people want the teacher thats their bestie ... not the teacher
She seems like a pretty fair teacher. She’s not too strict, she just doesn’t want to be disrespected or have school property vandalised. She legit mentioned giving her students breaks to go on their phones? During class? Even though class is only 45 mins or so? Idk how anyone thinks that’s unfair, that’s incredibly lenient compared to the shit my teachers pulled
I feel like all the people giving her shit are just students themselves who dislike her response because they’ve had teachers do the same to them before and it pissed them off. Seems immature to me.
Right?? I've had my *homeroom teacher* (i.e. not even an actual class) take phones away for pulling it out of your pocket for two seconds to glance at the time while the clock in the room was broken. This teacher is literally like a saint in comparison.
n one of her videos she threatens to call the school security and admin down to have a meeting with their parents for not handing over their phone.
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 yeah, it was in this video? She asked the student to stop twice already and then asked them to give their phone. Going on your phone three times in one class, after being warned multiple tomes, and then not listening to your teacher sounds like something that might piss off a teacher.
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 Having your phone out at my school, not even during class just anywhere on the campus, meant it was immediately confiscated. The only way you could get your phone back was by waiting a few days or getting your parents to schedule a meeting with the SLT (senior leadership team). So in comparison, this is pretty tame.
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 but thats the only thing you comment on. Just never speak again
Where I live, it’s literally against the law to use my phone in school, even at breaktimes and before school begins. If I get caught once, it gets taken away for the period. Twice? Taken away the whole day. Three times? I have a meeting with a Dean.
And TikTokkers are complaining about her rules when they:re literally so fair
Same! I live in Turkiye and it's so rare here. Also we have parent element. When you will enter high school or university exams in that year, parents usually take your electronic devices months before the exam and force you to study and solve tests. School? %90 of schools take your phones obviously. No use in breaktimes, no use in lessons. You cant even call your parents with your phone with allowance from teachers. You have to ask to guidance counselor, if they allow, they will call themselves and they can lie if they want. I dont know what is wrong with other countries than America. I feel like there are really freedom. AND THEY CRY WHEN TEACHER ASKS THEM THREE TIMES, POLITELY! DUDE ENGLISH TEACHER LITERALLY HURT MY HAND TO TAKE MY PHONE EVEN MY MOM ALLOWED IT, ON REPORD CARD! DAY WHAT ARE THEY YAPPING ABOUT 😭😭😭
I feel so bad for this teacher. She genuinely sounds reasonable. High school teachers are not there to pamper and spoil students, but to teach.
My teachers get in trouble for doing a bad job as basically doing their job and teaching. Test results from one class gets compared to other classes on the same level and if one teacher is seriously not doing well they tend to send other authority figures in schools to check there teaching okay
@@emilybeaumont7104 when in reality the kids arent paying attention and its their own fault they fail
how is having a police officer escort a kid for using a phone reasonable? Did you comment before finishing the video?
@@morganb673 It's not so black and white but that can be a factor.
@@fauna8049 Yeah, that's too much, but pretty much everything else she said was reasonable.
she’s being.. MORE than reasonable here. like this is just basic discipline and boundaries? idk why people are getting SO upset about this. like y’all realize educators are responsible for their students behaviors right,,,
Maybe they are entitled assholes?
I honestly wish she was my teacher, I have a lot of just rude teachers that don’t care about the students.
The main problem that I see personally is that I have panic attacks at least once a day and sometimes several times a day. This leads me to use certain apps on my phone to help me regulate my emotions and get back to a state where I can actually do the work. If a teacher took away my phone while I was using it for coping and regulation, I would probably relapse into self destructive coping mechanisms like self harm and disordered eating. And if this is a problem I deal with regularly, I’m sure other students are as well.
@@theincompleterealm1582 Yeah, but you could communicate this to your teacher in this situation instead of just letting them believe that you are simply ignoring them. A teacher cant be cpnsiderate and make allowences for you if you don’t tell them that you are struggling with something in the first place. It’s unreasonable to just expect them to read your mind.
@@theincompleterealm1582 get a 504 so your allowed to?
To be fair she’s responsible for their safety, if they’re going to the bathroom and always taking 10-15mins, they could be doing something other than going to the bathroom - if anything bad happens to them while they’re meant to be in her class, she’s held responsible /:
Exactly! And that’s why we ask to go to the bathroom. If kids just walk out of class how will you know where they are. What if there is an emergency and that teacher is now missing a student. People forget that the teacher is responsible for the kids
Yeah, I get in theory that nobody wants to have to ask to go to the bathroom but anyone who thinks that kids will NEVER just hang out there on their phones half the class and use it to skip has some serious rose colored glasses on. Kids are kids and that doesn't make them bad, but yes, they do need somewhat more structure and less freedom than adults do.
I can think of _many_times kids just went into the bathroom to avoid being in class. I think her wondering if the time-length is necessary is fully justified.
literally. my school has a huge vaping problem so it's justified.
I agree that that's a suspicious length of time but also I feel like there are ways to address that other than asking about their medical conditions, which comes off (to me personally) as kind of passive aggressive, like they're trying to get you to admit to slacking off. If they do have a medical condition that causes them to stay in the bathroom, that can be super embarrassing and being asked about it out of the blue would suck.
Better to address it neutrally without saying either "do you have takes-too-long-to-poop-itis" or "I accuse you of doing non bathroom things on your bathroom breaks" because you don't know what's going on, by definition you can't see them.
These TikTokers are being so sensitive for no reason I’m in a middle school and literally the first time you have your phone out you get a warning but if you’re caught a second time it’s immediately confiscated sent to the office and then your parent have to pick it up and if it ever happens again, you just get reported to the principal and get a referral
She's literally just enforcing classroom rules lmao. If only my teachers were as kind as she is
EXACTLY, like my teacher wouldn’t give “three warnings” before they would take the phone away, they would keep that sht till the end of class when they catch you 1st time, no warnings
Like she seems completely reasonable
right, the only one i don’t love is the drawing on desks but still reasonable to ask to clean up afterwards
@@leviichuu711 people have to understand that if they dont clean em.. the teacher will have to. Or the janitors,, and i think thats just unnecessary. As a person with chronic anxiety im not even allowed to draw on paper, but if u are.. pls do so!
Exactly!!
I love how this lady is just being a reasonable teacher and people are flipping their sh1t for no reason
fr she ain't doing anything wrong
Right!? Also, no one seems to realize the amount of sexism young women have to take from teenager boys when they teach high school. Of course she answers things by replying, “what you said to me is disrespectful so I have to call the office.” She needs to set boundaries with these boys, who are twice her size, and will try to break every single boundary she sets.
This is my AP lang comp teacher. She panders to those sexist boys. She constantly jokes around with them and has sat them next to eachother after changing the seating chart 3 times this year (despite them being disruptive). I totally see your point about sexism, but yeah she panders to the popular athletic boys. She does not act like how she portrays herself online.
@@elizabrockhoff6850wait, that lady in your video is one of YOUR TEACHERS??? that’s crazy
@@Elegantly_Bored it's weird. She's not a bad person or anything, she's just a run of the mill incompetent teacher, but her focus on tiktok is just kinda weird
People forget that teachers aren't their babysitters. You go to school to learn. Not play on your phone or vandalize the tables and forcing your underpaid teacher to also be your butler. I have so much respect for teachers
Yes I agree
@Magnar Creed if you’re the type of kid that was always on their phone when the teacher was talking then you’re probably disrespectful as an adult, no matter what your grades were.
I'm a teacher. I wish more people understood what you just said
dude the phone situation wasnt even bad, in the UK we cant use phones unless its a chill teacher and we're doing a quiz or smth otherwise they're taken off us if anyone notices not even in class either just in general, i have no clue why people got pissed off
let’s not act like some aren’t rude.
When I see a student drawing on a desk, I quietly get them a sheet of paper to draw on. It works pretty well.
In my state, teachers DO need to know of any medical needs they may have throughout the day, such as extra snacks, etc. Teachers are the legal guardian of the child while they are in their “custody”, because they are legally responsible for their wellbeing.
It’s the same for most schools in the uk as well
Yeah, people are acting like food allergies don't exist. If a student with a nut allergy ate cafeteria food or they were going on like, a field trip or something, they would need to tell their teachers (or whoever is taking care/watching over them) about their allergy, especially if it's a deathly allergy.
@@x_.mizuki._x3231 yeah especially because if anything happens the teacher is responsible for the students during school hours
@@x_.mizuki._x3231 yea especially in elemantry when the kids bring birthday snacks and stuff so usually the teacher has snacks for the kid who can’t have it
true but you shouldn't not be able to eat or not use the bathroom as much just bc you dont have something diagnosed
As a person who has been diagnosed with clinical anxiety, can people please not act like public vandalism is an anxiety coping mechanism. You can literally just doodle on your notebook which is what I did when I got stressed out in school.
Exactly, writing on the desk is just blatant disrespect for things that aren't theirs.
Public vandalism is more likely a symptom of some sort of attention seeking disorder, not anxiety. Literally everyone here with anxiety, including myself, is mentioning we used notebooks to deal with anxiety.
@@Nakia11798 Though, not everyone with anxiety can access a small notebook. Some families may not have the money to buy extra notebooks for their child's anxiety. This is just an opinion though, don't take this to heart. Just a statement and i fully do not agree with drawing on the desk.
@@harbor641 but teachers give students free notebooks tbh and some local organizations provide school material. in my opinion there is no excuse
@@harbor641 Schools have paper in them. You can find some before class, maybe even take some from a school printer, it's better than drawing on desks.
The fact the phone one was the one most people got mad about is absolutely crazy. That's literally such a kind policy. My 9th grader computer engineering teacher would warn you once, and if she caught you twice, would take it away for the rest of the day (day, not period). Either way, what do you need your phone for so bad that you take out your phone even after being warned twice, you're in a school.
Honestly, as someone with anxiety and ADHD, the fact that she offers: being able to doodle (just not on the desk, duh), phone breaks (omg, I wish she was my teacher), and the fact that she doesn't ask to hide the snacks (she is a godsent); is amazing. She is such a good teacher, and I honestly think she doesn't deserve any of the hate she gets.
Even the things you pointed out she shouldn't do still make sense. Asking why you go to the bathroom for 15 minutes: you are missing class time, and the teachers are responsible for your health and wellbeing while it's their class time; and pulling away your phone: honestly, I'm surprised she even allows phones, since the main reason you can't use them is because of their camera feature (you can't take photos of minors and publish them without their consent)
Frr
I'm autistic and i have adhd and school for mw is kinda tough for that reason, i really need breaks and such, if i could use my phone i would just cry on the spot. I was studying for like 7 years in a different country where phones are allowed at school fully and you can use them whenever you want (only in free time), but now when I've moved our phones are prohibited at school unless the teacher tells us to use it. It would be so much easier for me if i could use my phone.
She's really respectful in my opinion and talk to other student like on the same level instead of making them feel like they're less than her. She's honestly cool
Yup same, I have adhd and i love to doodle. So its so nice that she allows it. Also it's totally reasonable to not doodle on the desk like bruh that's school property
yup I have adhd this is amazing I wish I had teachers like this.
FR that is so true like the kids hating on that teacher, must not have very good teachers that care about their education because she is literally so chill and I WISH I had a teacher like her.
So, her asking about the medical conditions regarding bathroom use is actually a legitimate policy. Some students abuse their bathroom privileges to wander the school and avoid class, so if a student is going every single day and is gone for over 10 minutes every time... they can miss up to an hour of instructional time during a week, which adds up and affects grades. Teachers are also still responsible for their students whereabouts when they're out. They can get in trouble for what the kids do while they're out.
As well, with the school officer coming to pick up the phone, that's most likely a school specific policy that admin implemented to defer liability. If the teacher handles the phone, they could get attacked by the student or break it and that's a whole mess the school doesn't want to deal with. Having the officer take the phone would prevent possible backlash as they are armed.
And if you're still reading and think any of that is fucked up for a teacher to deal with, then welcome to the world of education!
It's actually extra nice of her to ask if the student needs bathroom accommodations. In general, in the states the teachers do not have to give you any accommodations unless you've proven to the school that you need it. It is quite the shitty process to get approved by the way.
I always thought they couldn't ask you that since the parents sign papers that states there are issues, and those issues need to be accommodating. I've seen many of my classmates get up and go somewhere like the nurse's office and all they had to do was tell the teacher and the teacher would understand and they could go. They didn't have to explain anything because it was already written down since the beginning of the school year. I guess some schools work differently.
@@borngaga95 It's not illegal to ask-- it's just kind of inappropriate to do so. If you have accommodations-the school itself has to know *exactly* why you need accommodations and you don't get to hide why you need them; but the teachers as individuals don't have to know the reasons. Teachers are sent an email on what accommodations you're entitled to without the specifics of why you get them. If they start aggressively pressing for more information than they're privy to; you can complain to the education access center if you have one and get approval from them. The only thing a teacher needs to know is that you have accommodations and that's it. However, this rule and everything above goes completely out the window for religious private schools; they are completely exempt from ADA.
@@frozenraspberries1552 That's what I'm saying teachers are given information before the school year starts. Plus also, the teacher should call the parents or the guardians and never ask the student. Its embarrassing and yeah inappropriate
@@frozenraspberries1552 agreed but I don’t think the teacher was wrong asking if the student had a medical accommodation that she needed that obviously wasn’t brought to the teachers attention.
You know what else you can draw on when you have anxiety?
Paper. It's paper.
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
LMAO RIGHT, my teachers give paper to students they see drawing on the desk, they also make them clean it before they leave so the teacher themself and the student doesnt get charged with vandalism
I would draw in school all the damn time and I almost NEVER drew on the desk. Often it was my assignments, school folders, and notebooks. Just draw on the paper ffs it’s not scarce.
ayo until you draw on paper and the teacher takes it away from you
EXACTLY OMGG!!!!. The anxiety argument was so dumb here. Like just use paper xD
This is honestly a decent teacher, drawing on school properties which cost about $300 for like 1 desk she has a right to warn the kid. Also if they have quote on quote anxiety it does not give excuses to ruin items that are expensive now a days so in my perspective people shouldn’t be hating on her as she is just following the policies of the school.
Yeah if they want to draw they can just do it on a notebook or something.
6:30 teachers are absolutely allowed to ask if a student is having a medical issue that’s keeping them out of class for extended periods. A teacher is NOT allowed to discriminate against someone for having a medical issue, and they’re NOT allowed to FORCE a student to tell them. But if you do have a health problem that’s keeping you from class, even just saying “I’m having a medical problem, I can try to bring a doctor’s note” is enough
Fr! I have Crohn’s and I always made sure to bring that up to my teachers PRIVATELY after class or during a quiet time outside the classroom just a small one on one chat bc I had to be close to the door incase I had to all of a sudden use the restroom and I did always try to ask my teachers if I had to go I did have one teacher tho that made me feel really bad for asking and it was a theater teacher and when I asked him all he responded with was “is it an emergency” and I always felt guilted into saying no because I didn’t wanna draw attention to myself or make my teachers start asking questions that I didnt wanna answer in front of the entire class
I wouldn't even consider that a hugely invasive question, like she does. If there's something going on that means the kid CAN and HAS TO stay out of class for a third of the time, then that should've been disclosed beforehand and is almost grounds for a different kind of education or extra lessons/work.
It's also a lot nicer to go "hey, kid" instead of "I've contacted your parents immediately, without even saying anything to you".
Not like the teacher needs to know your exact medication and address of your doctor's office. It'd just be nice to know if you're in danger of collapsing/allergic/in excruciating pain in certain scenarios so those can be adjusted. Like asking if someone has a nut allergy after avoiding cookies, so you can bring some without nuts the next time and the kid feels included.
They don’t have the right to make a student tell them their PRIVATE medical history.
The school should have a policy as to how many bathroom breaks each student is allowed per class. If the student goes over that number the office will be notified and a parent/guardian will be contacted for a doctor's note or some such thing.
it makes sense, you have to have a reason to be out of the class. The teacher is responsible for their students, if anything happens during class and someone gets hurt, it's their fault. If the student is not in the classroom, the teacher can't keep an eye on them but will still be held responsible if anything happens. Besides, many students are literally being disrespectful and smug and use toilet breaks for just skipping class so it's totally understandable if the teacher gets suspicious about someone's behaviour if they leave the class often but as said, a simple chat after class is enough if you have a condition or other reason - just let the teacher know, be fair to them so they can be fair to you.
uni on the other hand😂 at least in my country, they never care. If you skip too much class and don't pass it's your fault, they're gonna get money if you need to retake a course. And everyone is at least 19 at that point so they're not responsible for you anymore. You can even bring a laptop and play games, it's your call if you want to waste your time, money and opportunities
Nah this was a poor take. I’m an elementary education major and she’s doing…everything everyone would NORMALLY do. You shouldn’t allow students to draw on desks, you should have consequences set when directions aren’t followed - like taking the phone for the class period, and you should address students leaving your class for an extended period of time when it’s happening frequently. This “hate” is coming from children in her comments and duets who don’t understand foundations of education and classroom expectations.
It wasn't really just one take, she had various takes throughout the video depending on the Tiktok...
@@kaemincha oh no I know it just felt like the overwhelming consensus was that this teacher sucks
it's really baffling that kids act very entitled nowadays. all of us used to be students but back then when a teacher gives us a punishment, it's justified because we are the ones being rulebreakers but now, kids justify their bad behavior by mentioning some illness that most likely they don't have. it's funny and ironic how they mention anxiety and doing something that will catch attention because i had schoolmates who *really* are anxious people and all of them are afraid to be a center of attention so they won't do something like that. also, these people have no clue about being a teacher. i myself am not a teacher but i know that they're being evaluated by school if their class is failing often. the blame would be on the teacher even though the student is the stubborn one. these people think that teaching is just about talking. if it were that easy, teachers wouldn't care if a student listens or not.
I agree.
@@farlonmuentes6004 Finally, someone who understands.
I've had anxiety my entire life and have never one thought about drawing on desks. It sounds like all the hate she's getting is from children who are the reason those rules exist in the first place. She acts respectfully and reasonably the entire time. She's literally just doing her job and is one of the kindest teachers I've seen
Idk man i dont think drawing on table is that bad. Like it's not exactly disrupting the class tho is it. Some neurodivergent people need to have this kind of physical activity and stimuli to focus, and while the most optimal circumstance would be letting them draw on paper instead of the desk, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
@@LizzyDizzyYopeople have to clean it up afterwards and it takes extra time and supplies, if you really need the stimuli or stress reliever than it's your responsibility to bring paper and pen/whatever. It's not that big of a deal, but more of like 'lol, just.. don't?'
@@desiderium6026 In my school, when some people get bored they doodle on the desks, but always with ink that can be rubbed out. Then when the other part of the school gets bored, they amuse themselves by rubbing out the drawings. It actually works out really well since there are more rubbers than drawers, the desks are almost always clean and when they do get drawn-on they can get cleaned out within a couple periods, haha.
(Not trying to refute your point or start an argument, I get what you mean since in other places the janitors are the ones who have to clean the desks. Your comment just made me think of this.)
exactly, she's nicer that most teachers. Plus, if you have anxiety, don't vandalize, just bring a pen and paper its that easy 😓
@@LizzyDizzyYo When I'm anxious I will draw on your shirt, "it's not that big of a deal"
I would be SO happy if she was my teacher! I live in the uk and my school is definitely worse than this. The toilets are locked apart from at break time and lunch so you physically can’t go to the toilet in lessons, teachers literally snatch phones off of people and don’t give them back until the end of the day and normally give you a detention, you get sent out of the lesson if you draw on tables and you can’t eat apart from at lunch and at break if you’re outside
She literally has her classroom stocked with the student's needs and has time for the students to take a break and etc. She is not a bad teacher.
Pretty far above most teachers I’ve had
people who say she's a terrible teacher haven't seen an actually bad teacher before
real
Fr she isnt bad
I feel bad for this teacher overall. When I was in high school (during the pink Razr and BlackBerry era), there was a strict “no phones” policy and everyone understood it was a big deal to get caught with your phone. It’s astounding to me that teenagers these days think they need to be on their phones all the time.
i'm currently a freshman in high school and we're allowed to occasionally look at our phones in class as long as we're not looking at them for five minutes at a time and doing other random things, but i do get the phone rules she has for her class room
Even that’s too much tbh classes are short as hell what does a high schooler really NEED to be on their phone for during the school day? If there’s a family emergency- get in touch with the school. That’s what we had to do “back in the day” and let’s be real here... not many family emergencies are happening on the daily (thank goodness, but still).
@@shannonceleste5557 there’s nothing wrong with quickly replying to a text lmao. high schoolers have important things that they are doing besides school. it’s annoying how adults act like high schoolers don’t/can’t have important lives outside of school
@@kaleighm993 you can have a life outside of school and adults recognize that, but that life is OUTSIDE of school, its not something you should be bringing with you to school. Say youre a highschooler with a job, there is no reason for you to be texting anyone from your work during school hours and you have no legal or moral obligation to do so, i genuinely cant think of a single situation other than a family emergency in which youd need to be on your phone in class and it cant wait until between periods, lunch, or after school
I'm a senior now and as I went into high school they stopped allowing them at all even if we finished our assignments early so everyone stopped working as much
@@acrimonyy yes, but also it can feel like the teacher is taking away your freedom. I do believe that students shouldn't be looking at their phones for like more than 3 minutes (with exceptions) every kid who has taken out their phone in class has been for just a few seconds to check a notification then put it away so
As a person who's dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, people should please stop excusing bad behaviour as anxiety. It's not.
same like dude anxiety doesn’t make you draw ON THE TABLE drawing on paper has the same effect
@@blanca3806 THIS! I never drew on a table with my anxiety. I never really doodled much at all. I just suffered in silence and thought I was insane. (I'm from Texas so mental illness doesn't exist there, apparently.)
Never doodled on desks, but definitely on my school papers. It got to the point where all my teachers told me to stop doing that and I started to fail my classes. I had one teacher that would let me draw and I had the highest grade in the class bc of that.
@@jennaa.1645 Sorry if this comes across as rude, but could you not use your own paper to doodle on? If you were having problems because of doodling on classwork/tests, you could have used your own paper or notebook, right?
@@starsiadraws then they complain you’re off task. In my experience, teachers who get pissed at you for innocent doodles on work will get equally angry at you doodling anywhere during class. They get this idea that drawing means not taking things seriously, though that isn’t always the case.
My school doesn’t allow phones at all let alone 5 minute phone breaks (which sound super nice btw), why are people so mad? 😭
She's literally so calm and chill. Tik tok kids are so stupid and spoiled I can't.
Fr! That teacher never should have gotten hate!! If it’s her classroom, then she can do what she wants.
Fr, she was literally acting like an average teacher. If all my teachers acted like this, I wouldn’t hate school so much. ALSO, in my school if you don’t give stour phone to the teachers at the start of the day, you’re suspended. She’s acting so chill about it all
Fr she didn’t do anything bad
True, i’d like school more if my teachers were like this.
I agree. I’ve had teachers rip things out of my hands and verbally abuse me before. That’s not what this is, she’s just firmly asserting boundaries
Honestly the teacher is not in the wrong here imo. There are rules and expectations for a classroom and if the students are not following those rules then that's on them.
Their generation are delinquents anyway. 75% of em.
anyway why draw on the desk when you got paper???
It's not just your opinion, it's pure facts.
gonna be honest a phone is essential its 2021 as a college student I don't use my phone in class, but I have my phone on me, school shooters, break ins, my covid pass, if any sort of disaster happens your phone should be in your pocket you don't need to give your phone to your teacher just keep it on vibrate in your pocket. Not too mention I use it as a calculator in math.
I only disagree with the bathroom one. I always struggled with the bathroom, but never got diagnosed with anything until this year, even though I’ve been complaining to doctors since I was 11. I’m now 20.
I was always looked at as “trying to miss class” or “skipping” but I was in a lot of discomfort and pain.
I have anxiety, and here's a hot take: You can actually draw on this magical substance called paper instead of vandalizing school property. I _know,_ it's a really controversial opinion, but I felt like I just couldn't keep it to myself.
And if you run out of paper, you can do what I did and *draw on your skin*
@@tamiwu0346 yes! Literally a new hand/arm tattoo every time

@@tamiwu0346 yess I do that all the time
I was literally shouting this at the screen
As a teacher-student and substitute teacher in Sweden we have a no phone rule in the classroom (with a dedicated bin) they hand in the phones at the beginning of class and get them back at the end. If I catch anyone with a phone I get the bin and let them put it in themselves since it is their property. The only exception is if a student have to take a call and I just remind them kindly to keep the phone away while waiting for the call. Never had an issue…
The restroom brakes: I remind everyone that if they are leaving for the restrooms/ getting a snack/ refilling their water bottles give me a heads up and return as soon as possible. Sometimes I catch maybe 1-2 student slacking or playing table tennis which gives them 5min absence.
And since I have a bit of a streak of dark humour within me, when I have to get coffee/ go to the restroom or get supplies I tell the class “Don’t kill anyone and don’t burn anything down” and when returning 2-3 minutes later “Oh great, everyone is alive!” + when the students inform me about their restroom break I also say “Don’t die” which is either met by confusion or a chuckle and the reply “I can’t make any promises!”
The fact she leaves out pads and tampons shows that she's a good teacher.
I know! That’s honestly amazing of her, I wish more teachers would do this tbh
one of my teachers does that! honestly wish more teachers did because it's so helpful to people who maybe forget them or can't afford them. (theyre expensive affff)
@@Drider_Drow ur probably a boy, if they forget the pads, they have toget toilet paper which doesn’t help.. and if it doesn’t work, blood will be everywhere and it would be embarrassing

@@Drider_Drow well both of us haven't sat in her class and listened to her teach exactly, but it does show she genuinely cares about her students and has good intentions
honestly she’s better than every single one of my teachers- if a kid has their phone out in class most of them will give a detention
At my school not only do you get detention, but it gets taken away for a week. My teacher said that at the school he used to work at, your phone would be taken for the whole year.
@@cringequeen2928 I don't agree with allowing phones in the classroom but how can they take it away?? Isn't it illegal or something? (I'm not from the us)
Girl please, in my school, very few teachers care about phones and most kids are on them half the period.
In my school phone were not allowed
Literally I've been in detention for pouring paint and not spilling it in art class 🤣
honestly she seems like a nice teacher with normal rules and I genuinely don’t understand the hate she‘s getting. Most of these comments are probably just a bunch of angry teens
For the most part, I agree, but her condescending attitude and tone along with demanding respect is annoying. I'm not a student anymore (just finished a Master's) but it irks me that she acts like that towards students. Although that might just be me due to shitty parents acting like I have to 100% respect them even as an adult when they have done very little to earn that respect.
I wouldn't write hate comments or anything towards her though
@@zebraloverbridget She's a teacher talking to high schoolers. Yes, she deserves their respect. She is not their equal.

I’m a teen in high school and i can say that i agree with this teacher, the hate she’s getting is so pointless, like it’s just ppl who want to criticise others because they are bored or smth, the could find something more useful to do
“Oh let them draw on the desk it relives their anxiety” hello that’s vandalism? And we should teach that to kids😭😭
i swear, tell me you weren't raised right without telling me you weren't raised right. the teacher is perfectly valid in pretty much all of these points. these kids on TikTok seem like they're all brewing with anger issues.
Exactlyyy
Theres a bunch of bad people on the internet
Could not have said it better, myself.
Fr
Okay it’s like cause of anger issues that is like mental illness it’s just because they’re unhappy with teachers.
She is just literally doing her job. She’s not being rude about it at all. High schoolers think they are all high and mighty when they aren’t
yeah my moms a teacher and i dont think kids realize that most rules are not made by the teachers. its up to the principal and teachers can lose their jobs over not enforcing certain rules
Fr the rules aren’t bad at all 😟
As a high school student:
Most of us wish we had teachers this nice. Idk I who is leaving these comments
@@sandwichguardian8544 and she supplies some pad and tampon? She’s a freaking great teacher
frr
She just seems like a normal, caring teacher. She’s not insanely strict she just wants her material to be the focus and it honestly sucks to see tiktok comments ragging on her when she’s not doing anything wrong lol
The problem is that tiktok is full of kids who don't like school, and since they wouldn't ever talk to their actual teachers like this _in person_ they leave anonymous comments on the internet.
Except that one unfortunately phrased "blatant disrespect against me, your teacher" everything I've seen looks about right, even nice. There are lots of teachers who wouldn't ask once to put your phone away, they'd actually demand it and you wouldn't want to get on their bad side.
As a teacher, I can tell you that there is NOTHING you can do to force a student to pay attention to your subject. If the students are showing a total disinterest that speaks more of YOUR teaching style. If even after doing your best to make the class interactive the students aren't paying attention, there's NOTHING you can do. Take away the phone? They'll doodle. Tell them to stop doodling? They'll play with their pencils. Tell them to stop doing that? They'll at this point be so agravated by the constant telling them what not to do that they won't be able to concentrate at all, especially teens who haven't got the emotion-regulation thing down yet. A much better tactic is to understand that everyone has their off-day, and if they can't pay attention that day, hopefully they can use your hour of class to reset, calm down, self soothe, so they can at least pay attention to the lesson after yours. Surely they can ready up on what they missed later. This will make students respect you and like you more for being understanding towards them and their insane workload that CAN cause burn-out, and also allows the OTHER students who ARE paying attention to have an uninterrupted lesson.
It's usually the nice teachers that get called nasty things and get hate in my experience as a former high school student.
@@kamataros5172 Absolutely. That’s not even saying that these kids are bad or anything. They’re just kids. They just don’t get these teachers are trying to help them yet. They’ll get there eventually
@@cecisharp yea sure, let's not try to ask them to do basic shit like not use their phone. imagine when you get your principle or HOD walking in to evaluate. like seriously? we need some basic discipline. you are right. we can't force people to actually pay attention but that's just basics that people in general need to learn. and it's frustrating when your whole profession is to teach and it seems no one except a few ever want to learn. I've had teh most atrocious shitty teachers ever, but I also was lucky enough to have parents who are teachers, and had a select few wonderful teachers of my own so I can see both sides. at some point, the problem is the student alone. students can have insane work loads, but so do the teachers, especially good teachers. half the problem with teaching is admin honestly, even when you have great students you love. I truly don't like how one sided your statement feels. teens are always gonna be emotional and crap, so what? other teens listen. other teens were raised with respect or innately listen and see the value of not using their phones even if they can't pay attention. an effort needs to be made. and not every teacher has teh energy to baby and do make up works or remedies for a student not trying. like teachers have a workload as well, and they are also adults with outside lives. they often have bills to pay and adult responsibilities unlike students, and they need to constantly find workarounds and alternatives? no. for the few amazing teachers I had that went out of their way to do those things, I appreciate them. because I know it wasn't each investing so much effort in something that doesn't always work out. thankfully, I always utilised their opportunities so I didn't waste their efforts.
as someone who goes to school in austria, its normal to give your phone when school starts. its LITERALLY in the school rules! that you need to give your phone to the teacher, who then puts it in a desk and then in a cabinet which then gets locked with a key so the kids cant take it in the 5-min breaks. also if a teacher(at least in my school idk if its the same in others) catches you with your phone/that you have your ohone on you, they, if it happens for the first time, tell you to put your phone next to the others, if it happens for the second time, they take your phone with them for the rest of the day, and if you geth caught three times, your phone will end up at the principal office and your parents/Guardian has to pick it up. and seeing ppl get so worked up over something thats so normal for me makes me realize how intitle some ppl online think they are. and i watched this vid 100s of time and i never can understand how this teacher can get sooo much hate. like she is probably one of the chillest teacher i seen in a while online. like other teachers wont even let youe DRINK WATER and she is over here letting her students eat, be on their phones when the lesson is very long, AND isnt like one of those teachers who doesnt allow you to go to the bathroom and blames you for it. and there are many of those teacher in my school.
as a former 'bad student' who would constantly ignore the teacher, draw on desks and go on my phone, i honestly have to agree with her tiktoks. the delivery isnt the best but the rules of putting their phones in the box when they have been asked multiple times to stop using them is completely fair, its disrupting the rest of the class when the teacher has to keep stopping to tell them off.
as far as drawing on desks goes, its illegal and considered vandilism; teachers will be told off and sometimes even charged if their students vandilise school property while under their care, they have enough work as it is, and so do the janitors!
Literally! I have anxiety, and if I really needed to doodle, draw on your own property imo! Like, why are you drawing on the school desk. It's not yours.
Me and another kid used to write in pencil on our science desks (they were black slab tables, rather than wood desks). I used to leave messages for another kid and vice versa, never found out who they were lol. My teacher knew about it but since it could be easily wiped away, she never told me to stop. It was never particularly destructive.
For the most part, I agree with this lady. Depending on the teacher, sometimes you'd get your phone back at the end of class or have your parent pick it up at the office. Not to be this guy, but its better than a teacher raging at you or "giving you the ruler" like in the "old days." These rules are pretty standard lol
*also one of my favorite teachers hated people sitting on the desks, because of in her words, "you get your anal juices on them" lol
She'd make you wipe the desk. No phones unless allowed in her class, no gum, no snacks. She was kinda strict, but I actually loved that lil lady. She was my homeroom teacher all 4 years.
Another harmless case of vandalism: my lunch table used to leave a decorated apple for the janitors regularly (we cleaned up otherwise)
One of em was a stoner apple with a little joint n all like the little edgy craps we thought we were lols
@@doodoodoodle no offence but as someone who works as a cleaner in a school I would hate to have been your cleaner 😭😅 scrubbing notes off of desks is so time consuming and tedious. And we cleaners get in trouble for all these "harmless" things that students do to school property.
I don’t even think the delivery is bad. She always starts with something respectful. She only becomes more firm once they refuse. And these are probably battles she has to fight all day when she just wants to teach.
@@Toribell1928 some of it does seem kinda passive aggressive and condescending, but i imagine that's only after having told them politely 50 different times so i can't even be too upset by it
the people hating on her are honestly just immature. shes literally doing her job as a teacher, and simply demands the respect that she deserves
Fr!
@d b im pretty sure teachers dont draw on their desks or leave the class for 15 minutes in the middle of teaching. "respect" does not mean treating someone as more worthy than you, it means acknowledging they are a person with responsibilities and not making it harder for them when they are trying to teach you. of course that doesnt apply to all teachers, theres a lot of horrible ones, but this one seems like a good one and she only asked for the phone the THIRD time she saw this person use it.
Sadly idiots at my high school do this kind of shit.
@d b that's so immature, the teacher is already giving you an éducation, just be respectful. And it is basic decency to not use your phone when someone is talking to you...
@d b What example do you want them to lead with? Attending class while not on their phone or vandalizing property lol? They are...and while kids may not view it this way, the teachers are well, teachers. I think you should give at least a basic amount of respect (common courtesy) to everyone, especially those that are choosing to use their time to provide knowledge to you..
This woman seems like a perfectly reasonable teacher. Quite undeserving of this obviously intense hate.
Kids hate teachers...
I dunno about her actual classes, but any teacher that passive aggressively asks me questions is going to meet resistance. And that's the tone of pretty much every tiktok in this video.

The fact that she's making the tiktok is already passive aggressive. Like if i made a twitter post about people named after rocks in the sky who don't know what it means to be passive aggressive. And who like to name call as if that helps their argument rather than make them look like they had no real comeback.

I’ve been homeschooled all my life so I’ve gone to a homeschool group. The way the group would work is this huge group of kids from ages 5 to 18 and their moms. There were 10 classes, which were the daycare-ish thing with the kids under the age of 5, the next class up had kids from preschool to kindergarten, the next class was 1st grade-3rd grade, then the next class had 4th grade to 6th grade, the next class had 7th graders, next had 8th graders, 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade. There was also a program for kids from 3rd grade to 6th grade that you would go to in the afternoon. In the elementary classes there would be the kids parents sitting in. So basically you would need to tell the parent next to you that you’re going to the bathroom and that would be fine. I was always the lucky one to sit next to the nice adults.
As a person who draws to cope with my anxiety, it really isn’t that hard to pull out a notebook or have scratch paper on hand to draw on when I need it. I think the teacher is in the right. It’s a different story when they don’t let me doodle at all, but they’re just looking out for the school property, and they don’t get new desks or chairs often so they have to make sure to take care of the ones they get.
Yes this is so true, like i just draw on my notebook cover or just like IN it ... its not that hard

As someone who is currently in college trying to become a teacher, she's really doing nothing wrong lol.

Teachers don't get paid enough for the amount of disrespect they get on a daily basis from teens who are in their rebellious stage of development.
I have been concluding my work in education leading up to a degree, and I agree with you. The lack of respect, accountability, and the sheer amount of entitlement I've had to deal with is immense. This teacher is very lenient.
As a teen who has way worse teachers than her, I would kill to have a teacher like this.

Drawing on the desk is damaging school property no matter if it comes off, I’ve been told that in school and I completely agree with it. If a student is playing games on the phone and not learning, then I I feel like the teacher would have a right to take the phone away until the end of class.
She seems like a very reasonable teacher, I would have much preferred to have her over many of my secondary teachers I've had, and I was a kid good, albeit with attention difficulties!
I actually had a teacher grab the paper I was drawing on (my own paper) and throw it in the bin without saying a word. THOSE are the ones who misguide their frustrations and those who are in it for power that I dislike. This teacher seems to actually respect her student. The people who don't like her are just the disrespectful disruptive teens who would get in trouble, hah. I'm a real shame she's getting flack.
Nice bi reimu pfp
Ohh I had a similar teacher. He once just grabbed all of my things off my desk and threw it out of the classroom. Like just like that! Without even ever saying one word. I despise that man. I wish I could meet him sometimes, like just bump into him, so I could fucking kick him in the dick,
Ooooh! How freaking rude! I hope to hell now that I have my own kid he'll feel okay to tell me if a teacher ever does shit like that cause OH I'd have words! Like is he learning the material? Is he doing the homework? Is he testing fine? Then leave him the hell alone!
I had teachers that pulled crap but being a kid you always have the mentality that all the adults are on the same page... lol. My parents now are like "OMG! I would have screamed at that jerk!"
I don't think that teacher was in it "for the power". Its simply because they've had to tell students to stop messing around so many times that they are just tired of it and instead of wasting time trying to be nice to you, will simply take it off you without any kind of temper tantrum. I had teachers simply walk up to kids and grab their phones off them if they were seen using them, it was simple and effective. If they had a problem with it then they could just leave the class, because lesson time is for learning, not going on your phone.
@@emz1412 that is true! Bad choice or words, it's more so teachers who "misguided venting frustrations." I would have no issue if they ask me politely to stop or even just move the paper away from me, but it was not that... Man I've been on the end of a teacher's frustrations so many times unjustly so and it's only something I've realised looking back as an adult.
You are legally allowed to ask your students if they have medical condition. This is actually the preferred way to deal with students who are taking long bathroom breaks as they could be skipping. Instead of accusing them, you ask them if everything is okay.
I have Tourette’s and would often leave the classroom if I felt like i was ticking too much and my teacher would come find me if I was gone too long and asked if I was okay, usually if I didn’t come back it was because I went to the nurse, having a tic attack.
Also with the phone thing, I’m in high school and am on my phone all day. I wear my headphones and usually listen to a video like this while doing school work. My teachers 1) don’t care because I have straight A’s and 2) only get onto the students with their phones out who are failing their class or when we’re taking a test.
Bro I remember my p.e teacher asking me if I was faking it and straight up accusing me when I was having a panic attack mixed with an autistic meltdown in freshman year. Sucked :/
@@IATEALLTHECHEESE I’m sorry that happened :( people can really suck sometimes. They don’t know our personal situations but are so quick to jump to conclusions.
im reaaaallly hopping my teachers don't mind me listening to music when i go to high school next year because i have the attention span of a door frame, and music helps with that. unfortunately if my teachers need a reason for that, my parents refuse to believe i have any mental health conditions so i literally cannot get tested for them!
Yeah. She's first addressing the possibility of a physical health issue that may need addressing, but the discussion is ultimately about the reason WHY the student is skipping most of her class. It could be a health issue, but in many cases it's their mental health, attitude to the class or relationship with the teacher. It seems a bit cynical in the way she acted it, but overall it's supposed to be a way to approach the issue that makes it clear that the goal of the confrontation is not punishment but accommodation.
@@donutstew4117 Exactly, teachers don’t know if you’re using that class to recover from other classes being difficult or if they’re being bullied. So it’s best to approach the situation with no anger and with compassion for whatever the student is going through.
I'm genuinely confused at the people getting upset. What teacher allows phones at all? She is being nicer than most teachers and is entirely reasonable based on these clips.

Yeah the only time I was allowed my phone in school is if you were doing a class-based activity (like in French we were looking up French current-affairs articles and translating them.) or on the last day where we were just playing Kahoot and stuff.
@@disasterhamuaku they are. When I went to highschool only a few people had phones and if a teacher saw one it was gone for the whole day/week, sometimes forever.
Seems reasonable to me, kids don´t need phones in the school.
I’m in high school and there are no punishments for having phones out. It’s frowned upon to use them in class, but the teachers don’t call you out or confiscate your phone if they see it out. A lot of my classmates use them frequently. There’s kind of a “mind your own business” mentality and if you aren’t paying attention and subsequently your grades suffer, that’s completely on you.
this is the least harsh teacher i've ever seen. When i was 14 if a teacher thought they saw one person using their phone, everyone's would be put in a basket.
