Dear Pernicible Gerry, I would like you to know that my life has changed drastically since RUclips recommended me one of your videos a few days ago. I clicked on it and that's when I ruined everything. I can not stop watching your videos and it has caused me great deal of trouble. I'm a mother of 3 little girls 7/5/2yo and I'm also 38 weeks pregnant (with a boy). I have lost precious hours of sleep binge watching and laughing so hard I was afraid of going into labor. I have also laughed so loud watching the grinch series that I woken up my little one and my husband came to check what was going on. All I can say is that you are the funniest and I can only imagine how hilarious it must be interacting with you as a parent or a colleague. My only request is that you keep making more videos and spreading laughter to all of us parents and erducators. Your humor is unique and unmatched! Much love from your newest biggest fan! 🏆🥇😃
@@ellengrace4609 They're all so accurate and hilarious I can't pick one grinch favorite! I've watched each more than once, and I can't wait for new ones!!! 😊
My last school ~ we use to play BINGO~. We create a list of words that might be said at the meeting and then put them on a homemade BINGO card. Then when the word is said, you get to mark it off. The winner gets adult beverages.
Jennifer Osburn LOL I was going to say the same thing. And whoever got bingo would raise their hand and ask a stupid question. My favorite was someone who asked if we could have a bingo night for staff team-building! 😂
You are now my FPIDK (favorite person I don't know). I'm a retired Special Education teacher and "taught" in a residential treatment program for adolescent girls. You would have fit in quite well, that is if you like flying pigs and gazing balls. My first goal was to make every girl feel safe and loved. They would have loved you. My assistants and I would have, too. I don't binge watch TV, but I binge watch you. Candyland meets Stranger Things.
I actually had a school staff meeting yesterday afternoon where all they did was throw acronyms and statistics at us - essentially the same ones as last year.
But these ACTUALLY sound useful lol. I'm going to use these at the next girl scout parent meeting where we have to hear for the gazillionth year in a row, what to expect during fall product and cookie season.
If we did any of these during a meeting they would go on and on and on and on and on and on because the princerbal would be irritated and mad at our actions. Loved the ideas though 😁
Judy Scarbeck I have no idea! No staff meetings being written into our contract predates my hiring into the district! Where I was before, we had one once a month and they were definitely a pain!
You are hilarious! I want to go to a staff meeting while this is going on. I don't even have staff meetings since I am a home educator but that would make meetings worth being in. 🤣
Be careful with those hand gestures. Someone might think that you are throwing signs! How about a shot of this concoction: 1 shot Reyka Vodka, 6 ounces Simply Lemonade Raspberry Lemonade, 1 ounce pineapple juice, 1 ounce Malibu Bay Coconut Rum. Add all ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice. This is called Teacher's Ade!
Our school leaders underwent new active shooter training in which they were taught that children should be scattered throughout a room in the case of an active shooter. Evidently, statistics show that a breached room with scattered students suffers about 2/3rds less fatalities. Imagine keeping students scattered all over the room quiet and calm for the 20-35 minutes it takes for our admin and police personnel to clear the building. Imagine standing by the door with a bat in your hand in preparation for the "attacker" next to the barricaded door. Imagine seeing all of your students scattered and about half not completely hidden from sight. I was a fifth grade teacher last year... Now, today I was setting up my new classroom. It's half the size of the last one. I did it all with the thought in mind, "What if the room is breached?" Where am I going to hide 16 2nd and 3rd graders with an entrance on each end of the room? Sad that this has to be a thought process in the organization of a classroom that must also be optimized for learning. Teaching is tough folks...
I need acronym what what. I'm doing my online orientation and 98% of my notes is "biydrttayaf stands for biddy if you don't remember to take attendance you are fired" its so hard to keep up 😅
Our perncipal is so cool. While stuck at home he, his wife, and their kids made a TikTok video and posted it on FB. You met his wife at a middle school in Shreveport, LA this school year, I think.
I'm imagining every one he said..
I'm dying! 😂🤣👍
This is great. Please send this idea to Congress. They would have so much fun and get along together. We will get better laws.
I thought that the less Congress gets done, the longer we keep our freedoms?

Ludmila Troutman Thanks a lot Ludmila, now I have to go watch the grinch series. Guess I won’t have time for dinner tonight. 😏 😉😂
@@ellengrace4609 They're all so accurate and hilarious I can't pick one grinch favorite! I've watched each more than once, and I can't wait for new ones!!! 😊
@@ellengrace4609 Ahh and don't miss the "Public Service Announcement" video! 😂😂😂
I hope you homeschool.
“Perncible”!!! lol lol lol
Great suggestions Gerry. Seeing this live would be hilarious. New reality show..."When the principal isn't looking."
I'd watch that!
You are the funniest man alive. Thank you for making me laugh. God bless you.
Well, I was sure you could never do one as funny as “Laminating is Forever” but I was wrong. This one is golden!
LOL. This so funny. I wish we had those kinds of meetings when I taught!!
I just found your video. You are so funny. I so appreciate all the daily challenges the school staff are faced with.

Love this!
Adult beverages!
I almost wished I’d stayed in teaching, just to use these!!! Thanks for the laughs.
I’m afraid the TicTock one may cause the principal to think he’s slowly going crazy...
kf527 Gaslighting!
Probably one of my favorite Gerry videos!

Tic Tock would be my FAV next to Dance Off!
In this time of the 'rona virus, these are fabulous ideas
This is awesome! I have a staff meeting tomorrow morning and I'm not gonna be able to keep a straight face 😂
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You make me smile so big!
When the teachers turn into their students😂
Ooh... we have a full day of PD coming up. Can’t wait!
Gerry u r a genius! I will never be bored in meetings again! What-What 👐
From one princiPAL to another, 😍 I love you!
Add the word "rigor" to that list.
lol
I teach in two different buildings. I might have to change my schedule next year so I can attend our after school meeting. Love these ideas!
oh Gerry... love it:)) you are amazing! Thank you for making me a laugh every time!!
I actually had a school staff meeting yesterday afternoon where all they did was throw acronyms and statistics at us - essentially the same ones as last year.
Do you know what makes staff meetings more fun? When you turn around and Gerry Brooks walks in! Best teacher PD day ever.
I used to have a long winded boss in corporate America. We needed these rules for staff meetings😂
I couldn't keep a straight face when the principal WAS looking LOL
But these ACTUALLY sound useful lol. I'm going to use these at the next girl scout parent meeting where we have to hear for the gazillionth year in a row, what to expect during fall product and cookie season.
You are hilarious!!!
The fantastic for words is the entire meeting. Everyone's gonna have a hangover 🤣😂
Soooo funny👍going to send this to my colleagues ASAP (AWW)
Staff meeting party games 🎉 such a wonderful idea
OMG needed these ideas YESTERDAY!
Ah to sit in on that staff meeting!!
These are awesome!!
A ray of bright sunshine. Thanks for being you.
If we did any of these during a meeting they would go on and on and on and on and on and on because the princerbal would be irritated and mad at our actions. Loved the ideas though 😁
I SO need to get our staff to do these!! 😁
I love it, I absolutely love it!
LOVE this guy!!!
I love it! You are AWESOME! I'm a Nurse not a teacher. Would love to teach with you if I was a Teacher.
😂😂😂Acronym What What! 🙌🙌👏👏
Where are more of these videos???? 😂. Thanks so much for the laugh!!!
Boy, am I glad it’s written into our teaching contract that we don’t have staff meetings! 😂
Judy Scarbeck I have no idea! No staff meetings being written into our contract predates my hiring into the district! Where I was before, we had one once a month and they were definitely a pain!
Whoa - you can say a "What-What" to that while the rest of us are thinking "WHAT? WHAT? HOW? HOW?"
Jan Mathews Lol true! Believe me, I worked at a district that always had them, so I deeply feel the pain!!
Wish I could go to one of those meetins
You are hilarious! I want to go to a staff meeting while this is going on. I don't even have staff meetings since I am a home educator but that would make meetings worth being in. 🤣
My teacher told me about you in class and I just had to see your video it hilarious 😂 she even tried to talk in your accent
These all are GREAT ideas! 👍

I love this so much.
My favorites are tic tock 🕒 and dance party. 💃🕺 😄
I am tempted to come out of retirement just so I could do these at a staff meeting or inservice .
I truly wish you had been my school's principal when I was teaching!!!
All the dislikes are the Principals at the schools 😂😂
If teachers and principals could really say what must be said.
OMG I wish I could do this. My staff wouldn't be up for them though.
I love it!!!
Mr. Brooks! I’m crying. X’D
I love the tic tock idea
Errrr body - love it!

So, it's not just our school then?? We WILL be playing these party games!!
And on and on…😂😂😂
LOVE the conversation confusion one, but I would not be able to control my outbursts of laughing. How in the world do you work in JLo naturally? 😂
kf527 I’m having more difficulty imagining Saran Wrap. 😂
@@ellengrace4609 I was about to wonder this. I think saran wrap would be a challenge.
You would be a great bus driver. They ALL would have sit in the in the first two rows just so they could hear you and HAVE FUN.
These are historically funny
Love this lmao 🤣
My big 4 would be: fidelity, rigor, data, personalized......
I need acronym what what. I'm doing my online orientation and 98% of my notes is "biydrttayaf stands for biddy if you don't remember to take attendance you are fired" its so hard to keep up 😅
Hysterical 🤪
Hello how are you doing??
This is great. The 32 that gave this a thumbs-down are admin.
Brilliant!
Our perncipal is so cool. While stuck at home he, his wife, and their kids made a TikTok video and posted it on FB. You met his wife at a middle school in Shreveport, LA this school year, I think.
This is hilarious!!!
I bet your real staff meetings are so funny that the teachers can't wait for them..lucky crew!!
I told mine that when I get emails with acronyms I delete them. We used to have a ball library for teachers who don't have them.
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
UR the best!
How about Florida palm tree we do that here! Principal turns around you got a look like a palm tree and then point
What's a palm tree?
Funny.i like this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How many people watching this wants him to speak in front of Congress seriously?
If c-span had this it would get so many views.
Hello how are you doing today??
I was going to say in comments (drinking game!) And they bamg 4 shots cads pops up we think alike!
I like your A.W.W. idea. LOL what what
I agree 😅
My teacher got called out in a meeting once lol
Have one scheduled Monday. Some of these may occur!
Boom!
Did you secretly move into my place for observation? Hilarious-us!
OMG !!
Acronym What What😂😂😂
In the year of corona-virus, the word to use for the drinking game is "pivot".
Wait no jam session?
😂😂😂❤
I'm not an erducator, but just a quick question, when does all of the learnin' by the kids get done?
Not in a staff meeting....
Can I come work on your school?
I'm watching titanic I forgot what happened in the car 😅
Lol😂
We need suggestions for Zoom meeting party games!
Omg!😂
🤣🤣🤣
