I'm so glad I taught during the eighties when teachers had control over their own classroom. I pray for all of you out there risking your lives in school and doing double duty teaching online.
Me, too!! Love that the parents can see the good and the bad of their child's behavior. Heard a story of a friend of a friend that had a misbehaving student and when the mom asked, "Is he this bad in your classroom?" the teacher answered, "No." but when the mom said, "Oh good" the teacher continued and said, "He's usually MUCH louder!" LOL!
Teachers can't say or do anything. The curriculum sucks, no one ever passes the test the is even worse. Suddenly the entire school is Special Ed? If no one is being bussed in, why do we have 300 neighborhood kids special ed? I call it lazy parenting. I'm about done with this silliness.
"Teachers keep a bruise on their neck because the district always got they foot on it!" 😂 I salute you teachers, thanks for caring enough to keep pushing.
STAAR test is the ONLY thing our admin knew of for sure (“It’s happening, you’re not getting off that easy!”...yeah cause it’s easy 😬) next to virtual learning TTESS Observations! Are you kidding? We all got reamed in an email yesterday.
@@heismightytosave527 Why aren't you teaching children then? I am a teacher I would love to be back in school. Lazy people like you love to criticize others for doing things that you would never do. Why do idiots like you criticize teachers when teachers never made the decision to shut down? Every teacher I know wants to get back to normal. If they shut down again this year, I may leave teaching. I hate working online all day. Did you write your legislator yet and demand schools reopen, or do you just enjoy spitting on people who do more than you do?
Mary Jeremiah No. Like the first responders we the teachers care about the health and safety of our kids and community. We will sand against ignorant fools who want childcare more than safe children. My first responder loved ones said to tell you that teachers have the right heart, but you are missing yours.
Jay Campbell another classy teacher calling names....lazy, idiot, wow wee you’re so articulate, by the way I do work on the front line 40-50 hours! Why do the democratic teacher unions keep protesting they refuse to go back in the schools! Let me remind you the suicide rate has gone up! Children are being more abused physically, mentally, and sexually, because of mad parents jobs are on hold or cancelled! You don’t have control over these things I realize that but all the teacher in my state are fighting against the Conservative party. I would never call you lazy or ignorant maybe rebellious to the conservative God fearing agenda! And maybe research if the Democrats are just wanting to destroy this Great America? Lord Jesus help us all! We the People are One Nation Under GOD🙏🏾🙏🏼✝️🙏🏾🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
I am that teacher that only turned on my audio during those virtual staff meetings. No I don’t want you to see my face, but mostly I don’t want you to that am still in pjs and my house is messy af in the background. 😂😂😂 I don’t need no judging eyes on me.
Even if you got on Khan one time, you're going to pass. I'm tired of calling parents where kids were lazy in school so why would they be different at home?
What have we learned from "Distance Learning"? How little American parents are expected to do for their own child's education. If parents don't know how to help their child make a gmail account so they can login to Google Classroom please explain to me how they make a Facebook, Instagram and Tick Tok account that they have been posting on every day for the past 10 years???? A teacher in USA making an average income of $45 K /yr is expected to the following jobs: (reading , writing, math, science/computer science, history, art,/music , physical education) AND psycologist, social worker, marriage counselor, doctor, nurse, police officer, fund raiser, community organizer, best friend and confidant, hygenine specialist, food server, potty trainner, EMT, trip planner and tour guide, janitor, supplier of most school supplies , natural diaster trainner and rescuer, human shield, cirriculum specialist, party planner, chef, baker, drug counselor, sex educator, campus monitor, etiquette trainner, clergy, and NOW we can add tech support to the list. And teachers are expected to do this for 30 kids or many more everyday. Yet, they are not given any authority , money or respect to do all of these jobs even somewhat properly. And yet they try to do the impossible everyday for our kids. ALL Teachers should get paid at least $100k /yr. So why are they having to go on strike for things like a 3% pay increase? NUTS.
bruins9696 I will probably will have to do it. I sent my students this past school year a video and PDF tutorial from our reading company for the parents to watch plus my own written instructions. 👍 You’re a Bruins fan? Let’s go Pens!😃
I've loved it!!! No kids showing up without a pencil. I can turn off the camera during lessons and meetings lol. Kids not online, nothing I can really do. Get classes done by noon... enjoy the nice weather outside in the afternoon. No testing determining if I get to teach at the same school next year. Loving it.
"Is this the same school where the internet doesn't work?" 😄😄😄. My oldest granddaughter started virtual school this week . 24 First graders, no one understands how to find/operate the microphone and camera buttons. Kids showing up late and they and their parents talking over the teacher. Somebodies big dog would bark every time it heard the teacher speak. The sound and picture kept messing up, and the internet connection on her end was awful. My granddaughter and I got the giggles over how ridiculous it was. So, yes, virtual school isn't ideal , BUT I am so thankful that our district did the safest and smartest thing for our children , teachers, and those around them.
A couple of things. Everyone is on mute during the lesson which should be no longer than 15 -20 minutes. Parents should not be talking or asking questions at all during the instructional time. Then students can break out into groups and come together at the end of the lesson. If the parents are doing all of the work, what is the point? The teacher should have office hours everyday to take specific questions. If there are 30 students in a class and 30 parents asking questions, how is any work going to get done? Send the teacher an email and questions will be answered when they can. Everyone has to work together..
@@mariaclayton9892 I definitely agree with you. We are now on day 11 of virtual school and each day gets better. Kids are learning about keyboarding and how to find all the different buttons. Parents, caregivers, and animals( 😊) are all learning about virtual school etiquette.
It was a short virtual experience for my district since we go back October 1st, they’ve organized a quarentine area which should make me feel safe that they took the just In case precaution but it doesn’t make me feel any safer. Parents also need to fill out a questionnaire before sending kids to school but I know many rush to get their kids ready and not be late to work. I’m a Junior currently.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've said it perfectly. As a teacher and a parent I cannot express the levels of stress this has been. Of course we're all doing our best in the most unconventional way, but I do believe the higher-ups are disconnected from the gravity of the situation per usual. Although, I will say that I think our principal has kept a healthy dose of perspective and reality during these past couple of months. Hang in there and stay strong.
Could not have said it better myself....I have been teaching for 24 years...and the last two months have been brutal....I needed the laugh...Thank you....
What's sad is it's brutal for everyone but the higher ups! And why in the hell is my kids school district pushing Pearson realize? It didn't work right 10 years ago when I was in highschool for free and in college when I had to pay for it and I won't lie I get triggered when my kids school district pushes it. I'm hoping I see more teachers and etc cover that online.
@@lisadiconti Like all teaching, its brutal on behalf of the kids when you see them getting stressed. You try to keep things simple for them and try to tell them not to stress, but they are kids and are still learning coping skills. You get a lot of emails from kids expressing stress or confusion. Most teachers are not going to tune that out but try to help. And then you don't really know if you are helping or not because everything is online. I would much rather be in front of kids teaching all day. If I am going to be on a computer all day, I might as well go back to my old job in IT and make more money. I actually left a higher paying job and went into teaching because I hated being in a cubicle working online all day. Now it seems like there is no difference.
@@jaycampbell6402 Thanks for sharing. I used to work in a bank, and I left the bank for the same reason you left your old job. But at least we have jobs unlike some people in this pandemic, and we still get to communicate with kids rather than work with documents. I'm just trying to look at the good things. I also won't have the long commute. But anyway, I'll let you know how I feel about it. I guess I shouldn't talk about it yet till I try it. I have a few friends that like online teaching. Nobody has mentioned to me anything about kids' frustrations. I teach elementary school so perhaps it's different. I assume you teach high school?
You know this is SO TRUE. District should have ended school March 13th...just dragging out this mess. Kids ain't been trying to engage all year, but you think they gonna login for voluntary work that don't count...everybody passes.
If we got a dollar for every time we said: unmute yourself, mute yourself, unmute yourself.......💰💰💰💰 Plus, someone needs to give these principals something to do! Every week they are visiting our Zoom Classes by the grade levels. LEAVE US ALONE! This is already stressful enough. I agree I would rather be in the classroom.
I agree that make sense I comprehend the problems of teaching but we need someone to teach them...ruclips.net/video/fgOplVzv_jc/видео.html you are telling the truth. Please read my book.
LOL Thank you for this clever view of what teachers have to go through even during this social distancing time! Teachers Lives Matter!! 🤣❤️😂🥰 You’re awesome!!
i wanna be a teacher someday but yeah... i’m a semi truck driver now, and we definitely still had to work 😂 and we had to work like travel all over the country and go inside different shops and warehouses every day. instead of being in our cushy homes. cause guess who doesn’t eat, get clothes, medicine, toiletries, if we don’t work? america.
Yea because McDonald’s isn’t open every day… oh wait yea it is. I’ve also not missed a day of work and I’m a security guard. It’s not just teachers. Try not to insult everyone else just to make teachers feel better.
I was wondering about subs. I feel bad I can’t help them earn money. There have been a couple days I needed to call out and was just available by direct Dojo message. I even told some of the parents that I would have to respond the next day. (Mostly because they would message late at night and my old computer takes forever to boot up). We love our awesome subs! Don’t give up on us!
@@NoliMeTangere1163 What? That's unreal!!! What state do you stay in? I' so glad that he found some work!! There's also delivery companies like uber eats, grub hub, door dash, instacart, etc....
I have been so grateful I got hired in December to finish out this school year, just in time, cause I was subbing in my district for the past 11 years. I don't know how I would've made it financially if I hadn't been hired on. I'm actually interviewing today for a position for next year and I really hope I get hired for next year, cause if I go back to being a sub and we're still online in the fall, I won't survive financially.
Im a sub but that would be kool if they let us do online subbing. They actually just emailed us about that a few days ago. I would be interested.. TBC..
Great video. I was going crazy trying to get my child setup for school on his laptop. He isn't lying when he said "busy work". I was saying the same thing to my wife when I had to follow all of the redundancy. But some things I thought about over the past couple weeks getting used to the "new normal". How many teachers will be losing their jobs in the near future as people get used to online school whereas instead of one teacher having 20 children, now can manage 50-100. These teachers no longer have to live in the district and can live other places, so no need to have teachers live in the community. At how long before they figure out with technology, they can outsource the education to a lower paid teacher possibly even in another country? And that those that will continue to go to brick and mortar schools will be your problem children that are neglected at home by poor parents. Your good students will be distance learning. I have some empathy for you teachers here. Good luck!
Omg. Amen brother! Why couldn’t the district or superintendent or whatever just give the kids an early summer? There’s a reason why some of us put our kids in school. It’s because we don’t have the time or patience to do the teachers’ job for them.
We don't all teach to the "test". I am so glad I am in the arts. Teaching to a "test" would be SUPER boring. The arts TRULY drive our students IQ. Don't get me wrong, memorization has its place. According to Bloom's Taxonomy, memorization is the lowest form of learning. To create is classified as the highest form of learning. To all those core teachers under the "testing" gun who employ creativity to make learning a little less dry, YOU ROCK! To all those who show up daily when things are hard- You also ROCK.
All teachers are still teaching, and generating data. We are required to input daily, long spread sheets. We are tracking students and they need all the hands they can get. Why would the arts be halted? Visual art is an academic elective. The observational portion of the study alone is more than beneficial to developing minds. I appreciate the inquiry.
J Blank The reason I asked is because art and music is considered an elective in most schools, so I wasn't sure if it was an option or mandatory for you all to teach during this time. Initially, I couldn't think of a way Visual Arts could be utilized through virtual learning since its so hands on, and children may not have all of the needed supplies at home. Yes of course, fine arts is definitely important in the school system for sure!! I didn't mean to offend you, so I apologize if it came off as offensive. I actually have a Bachelor's degree in Visual & Performing Arts so if anyone is supportive of the arts, its me. Trust me, I was not trying to offend at all Lol. One day I will be a Performing Arts Coordinator/Specialist for an Arts Center. I taught voice and piano for a tiny bit after I graduated, so I defintely respect you as an arts teacher. I wish you the very best in your career, God bless!
Now I understand- students usually do not begin earning credit for art courses until high school. Their elementary and junior high school experience is designed to lay the foundation for a deeper study. Usually, students studying via the arts in high school are interested in art scholarships. This means they begin the production of a portfolio in 9th grade to present to recruiters, colleges, and universities. I acquired a degree in painting and one in drawing. I worked in the field, then studied to get my teaching certification. Performance art has always employed a fascinating collection of human behavior as tools. The variables are equally as vast as they are in the visual arena. Hopefully you will always remain creatively mobile. Thank you for your interest and time. God bless you as well.
J Blank wow, that's awesome! I've always wished I was great at painting and drawing. If I could trade my talents, that would be it Lol. Thanks so much for the additional insight. Its always great to talk to someone that appreciates the arts field and value its importance! Thanks for your support, I certainly hope to stay creatively mobile as well! Take care!
Preach!! Amen, brother!! Try virtual counseling with students that did not want counseling in the first place and ducked you all year long hiding in the bathroom!
Don't think your ex getting an easy summer, bruh. Since teachers have shown what we can do online, school district supervisors have everyone signed up to take all kinds of online training this summer, including training about how to log on and teach the online.
I'm so sick of having to hunt down parents to get to kids. I don't need to hear you in the background cursing out a fifth grader. On the bright side, now the parents don't believe their kids when they tell them I'm mean, because they see the actual session, and hear me in the background. I think one quote was, "Get the hell back in there, and stop playin', that poor white boy's tryna help you! Is this how you act in class?!"
Lol 🤣 On the bright side, now these parents see how it really is. In the past he was probably the one trying to blame the teacher for his kid's behavior
There's so much noise in the background that my teams keeps muting. Parents what are you thinking, turn off the tube. You complain when your kids are in school that their not learning and you make it impossible for them to learn at home.
My kids all have internet and devices, or we provided them. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I upped my teaching game this past quarter and I'm vowing to keep the momentum going in the fall. Boom!
We got the "best" of both worlds at our school. Virtual learning and F2F in the classroom together. I think by the end of this semester, about half the faculty are going to go on anti-depression or anti-anxiety meds. No one knows until they've done it. On paper, it doesn't sound that bad. Had the counselor come in to present to some seniors, and by the end of it, she was looking at me wide-eyed and going "how do you all do this?" Sound issues. Video issues. Wifi issues. Attendance issues. Students refusing to show their faces...most citing shyness or anxiety but then about 80% of those step away and then never return. Teaching the same thing five or six times because they don't pay attention and get distracted by temptations and goings-on at home - so much of attentiveness really is dependent on proximity and being in a classroom setting. Everything on an electronic platform but then huge chunks of class time spent teaching them how to use the tech to teach them, and we aren't talking about obscure programs either. We're talking how to make an editable copy of a docs or navigate the links on a website. Then you have children with special needs who are elearning and the extra time and energy to accommodate them while also trying to see to the classroom of students you have, and if you think they just diligently work while you're at your computer remediating for a virtual student, you have not stepped into a modern day classroom in a while or else grew up in Stepford. Finally, whatever paperwork you imagined we did before, triple it. I could go on, but I'm just too dang tired.
Lol I’m a sub for Atlanta Public Schools and I’m still getting a check AYYY! Lol but I also had to do remote learning with my son who was in K-5. He was SLAMMED and I was exhausted. But it’s finally over. Thank you Jesus!
Keep on messing with us and every teacher in the world is gonna log off. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!! Admin better recognize this long-term before every teacher in the world quits the profession and all American schools go under.
If things make a turn for the worse and this is required in the Fall, we will be in the midst of a Great Depression where there will be no other jobs. Since the governments were so steeped in debt before this started, we may not be able to spend our way out of it.
Your teachers are not all teachers. Every teacher in my district, including myself, clocked 50-60 hours per week on a platform we've never used before.
I know that. They do WAY more than just teach. I am very grateful for that. I am just saying that now they don’t have to deal with the students on zooms, google classroom, etc. I know the work is never done. In fact I know that almost every single one of my teachers is currently cleaning out our classrooms and lockers for us.
LOVE IT !! My daughter's teacher just told me she's also confused and has no idea how in the world we would pull this off. I am completely confused with these meetings the teacher spend more time explaining the Spanish speakers what in the world things mean then teaching.
FINALLY!!! Someone who is willing to REALLY tell the truth. Online teaching is SUCH a waste. Illinois is moronic enough to tell everyone that if a kid hands in something they get an A? Really, is that what we've become? Why dont we give them lollipops too for just signing on? There will never be a replacement for that one-on-one contact with students in class. Hell, what we are doing is no more than youtube direction videos for kids. This is NOT teaching, especially when there is no accountability. I hope and pray we get back into school and into a REAL classroom. And can someone please invent a pill so that when i hear terms like: "Teams, Google Docs, Virtual Learning, Online Teaching and especially SOCIAL DISTANCING (I know, has nothing to do with teaching)" I don't profusely vomit! :) :) :) :)
That’s how it was here at my school in Texas. If you did the work, even if you put no effort into it at all, you would get a 100. There were some kids writing answers that didn’t even pertain to the lesson, but because they had something, they automatically get a 100 due to our new district rules.
And then when teachers are laid off and parents are complaining their children need to learn, you will understand why education can never be on hold. Education represents the future of our country.
So dang funny!! I’m actually doing pretty well with my students and distance learning...so far, now that daily attendance and participation is REQUIRED but dang it’s a LOT more work for me having to post everything online!! Only problem I’m having is getting pictures for my yearbook class to actually produce a yearbook cuz umm...err...no sports, no activities, no classes meeting to take photos in.... ya, it’s awesome trying to collect photos from students and parents! 😂 Been in school for 5 days today and have maybe 15 pictures submitted, not all of them usable! LOL! But we’re working on it! On the plus side I did get to over 500 followers on my yearbook IG page in just 36 hours! It took me two years just to get to 175! LOL! Some of the kids claim internet doesn’t work to log into zoom or google classroom but that IG and TikTok sure do work! HAHA! 🤔🤔🤔
“The only thing we’re not confused about is how confused we are!” CLASSIC! 🧡

Most teachers are not going to tune that out but try to help. And then you don't really know if you are helping or not because everything is online. I would much rather be in front of kids teaching all day. If I am going to be on a computer all day, I might as well go back to my old job in IT and make more money. I actually left a higher paying job and went into teaching because I hated being in a cubicle working online all day. Now it seems like there is no difference.
@@jaycampbell6402 Thanks for sharing. I used to work in a bank, and I left the bank for the same reason you left your old job. But at least we have jobs unlike some people in this pandemic, and we still get to communicate with kids rather than work with documents. I'm just trying to look at the good things. I also won't have the long commute. But anyway, I'll let you know how I feel about it. I guess I shouldn't talk about it yet till I try it. I have a few friends that like online teaching. Nobody has mentioned to me anything about kids' frustrations. I teach elementary school so perhaps it's different. I assume you teach high school?
You know this is SO TRUE. District should have ended school March 13th...just dragging out this mess. Kids ain't been trying to engage all year, but you think they gonna login for voluntary work that don't count...everybody passes.
If we got a dollar for every time we said: unmute yourself, mute yourself, unmute yourself.......💰💰💰💰 Plus, someone needs to give these principals something to do! Every week they are visiting our Zoom Classes by the grade levels. LEAVE US ALONE! This is already stressful enough. I agree I would rather be in the classroom.
Yeah, what are the first five letters of TEACH er? It’s an art-let us sculpt their lives!
I agree that make sense I comprehend the problems of teaching but we need someone to teach them...ruclips.net/video/fgOplVzv_jc/видео.html
you are telling the truth. Please read my book.
LOL Thank you for this clever view of what teachers have to go through even during this social distancing time! Teachers Lives Matter!! 🤣❤️😂🥰 You’re awesome!!
Whole world is on pause except for teachers! Louder for those in the back!!!
Seriously!! I'm over this bullshit
Frontline workers??
@@dsprev8509 Agreed. I see a lot of people out there working. The whole world is definitely not on pause.
i wanna be a teacher someday but yeah... i’m a semi truck driver now, and we definitely still had to work 😂 and we had to work like travel all over the country and go inside different shops and warehouses every day. instead of being in our cushy homes. cause guess who doesn’t eat, get clothes, medicine, toiletries, if we don’t work? america.
Yea because McDonald’s isn’t open every day… oh wait yea it is. I’ve also not missed a day of work and I’m a security guard. It’s not just teachers. Try not to insult everyone else just to make teachers feel better.
Relatable in so many levels.
I was wondering about subs. I feel bad I can’t help them earn money. There have been a couple days I needed to call out and was just available by direct Dojo message. I even told some of the parents that I would have to respond the next day. (Mostly because they would message late at night and my old computer takes forever to boot up). We love our awesome subs! Don’t give up on us!
@@NoliMeTangere1163 What? That's unreal!!! What state do you stay in? I' so glad that he found some work!! There's also delivery companies like uber eats, grub hub, door dash, instacart, etc....
I have been so grateful I got hired in December to finish out this school year, just in time, cause I was subbing in my district for the past 11 years. I don't know how I would've made it financially if I hadn't been hired on.
I'm actually interviewing today for a position for next year and I really hope I get hired for next year, cause if I go back to being a sub and we're still online in the fall, I won't survive financially.
Im a sub but that would be kool if they let us do online subbing. They actually just emailed us about that a few days ago. I would be interested.. TBC..
Update: I got hired for next school year! 😁😁😍😍👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I was going crazy trying to get my child setup for school on his laptop. He isn't lying when he said "busy work". I was saying the same thing to my wife when I had to follow all of the redundancy. But some things I thought about over the past couple weeks getting used to the "new normal". How many teachers will be losing their jobs in the near future as people get used to online school whereas instead of one teacher having 20 children, now can manage 50-100. These teachers no longer have to live in the district and can live other places, so no need to have teachers live in the community. At how long before they figure out with technology, they can outsource the education to a lower paid teacher possibly even in another country? And that those that will continue to go to brick and mortar schools will be your problem children that are neglected at home by poor parents. Your good students will be distance learning. I have some empathy for you teachers here. Good luck!
Omg. Amen brother!
Why couldn’t the district or superintendent or whatever just give the kids an early summer?
There’s a reason why some of us put our kids in school. It’s because we don’t have the time or patience to do the teachers’ job for them.
Rafael Alonzo we do parents jobs for them. A little tit for tat never hurt nobody. That’s a double negative. I don’t care.
This guy is awesome. If you didn't know what it's like to teach virtually, now you know for real!
AMEN!!!! YOU said what we're all feeling.
“Professional up top .. SLEEPY on the bottom”😂😂😂😂😘dying.. Same!
We don't all teach to the "test". I am so glad I am in the arts. Teaching to a "test" would be SUPER boring. The arts TRULY drive our students IQ. Don't get me wrong, memorization has its place. According to Bloom's Taxonomy, memorization is the lowest form of learning. To create is classified as the highest form of learning. To all those core teachers under the "testing" gun who employ creativity to make learning a little less dry, YOU ROCK! To all those who show up daily when things are hard- You also ROCK.
J Blank as an art teacher, are you still required to do online teaching as well during this pandemic?
All teachers are still teaching, and generating data. We are required to input daily, long spread sheets. We are tracking students and they need all the hands they can get. Why would the arts be halted? Visual art is an academic elective. The observational portion of the study alone is more than beneficial to developing minds. I appreciate the inquiry.
J Blank The reason I asked is because art and music is considered an elective in most schools, so I wasn't sure if it was an option or mandatory for you all to teach during this time. Initially, I couldn't think of a way Visual Arts could be utilized through virtual learning since its so hands on, and children may not have all of the needed supplies at home. Yes of course, fine arts is definitely important in the school system for sure!! I didn't mean to offend you, so I apologize if it came off as offensive. I actually have a Bachelor's degree in Visual & Performing Arts so if anyone is supportive of the arts, its me. Trust me, I was not trying to offend at all Lol. One day I will be a Performing Arts Coordinator/Specialist for an Arts Center. I taught voice and piano for a tiny bit after I graduated, so I defintely respect you as an arts teacher. I wish you the very best in your career, God bless!
Now I understand- students usually do not begin earning credit for art courses until high school. Their elementary and junior high school experience is designed to lay the foundation for a deeper study. Usually, students studying via the arts in high school are interested in art scholarships. This means they begin the production of a portfolio in 9th grade to present to recruiters, colleges, and universities. I acquired a degree in painting and one in drawing. I worked in the field, then studied to get my teaching certification. Performance art has always employed a fascinating collection of human behavior as tools. The variables are equally as vast as they are in the visual arena. Hopefully you will always remain creatively mobile. Thank you for your interest and time. God bless you as well.
J Blank wow, that's awesome! I've always wished I was great at painting and drawing. If I could trade my talents, that would be it Lol. Thanks so much for the additional insight. Its always great to talk to someone that appreciates the arts field and value its importance! Thanks for your support, I certainly hope to stay creatively mobile as well! Take care!
Something fishy...right on
Every thought I have thought. This guy is awesome. Teachers have a collective consciousness.
My goodness! What did I just watch four times!! This is a gem!!!
Preach!! Amen, brother!! Try virtual counseling with students that did not want counseling in the first place and ducked you all year long hiding in the bathroom!
The kids weren’t engage to begin with! Yes
Don't think your ex getting an easy summer, bruh.
Since teachers have shown what we can do online, school district supervisors have everyone signed up to take all kinds of online training this summer, including training about how to log on and teach the online.
Oh yeah, in my district we've got 30-40hrs of online professional development to complete in the next 2 weeks.
@@chrissyjoy08 😮
You speak for us all... 😒
#GladImNotATeacher 🤣🤣🤣
I'm a homeschool mom for the past 2 years and thankful I had that prep before the world lost their whole mind! Lol
Omg 🤣🤣 YES!! I'm with you. I think we just need to chill til this crazy over!
This is no longer parody; this is revolution.
I'm so sick of having to hunt down parents to get to kids. I don't need to hear you in the background cursing out a fifth grader. On the bright side, now the parents don't believe their kids when they tell them I'm mean, because they see the actual session, and hear me in the background. I think one quote was, "Get the hell back in there, and stop playin', that poor white boy's tryna help you! Is this how you act in class?!"
I'm dying! 😂🙈
That's priceless. I've heard it some many times before. Lasts for 2 days and it's over. Ground ZERO!
chrisserrific 💜‼️👍
Lol 🤣
On the bright side, now these parents see how it really is. In the past he was probably the one trying to blame the teacher for his kid's behavior
There's so much noise in the background that my teams keeps muting. Parents what are you thinking, turn off the tube. You complain when your kids are in school that their not learning and you make it impossible for them to learn at home.
Well said! Loom, zoom, quizizz, quizlet, flipgrid, dojo, etc, etc.
OMG! You hit the nail right on the head. I hear you loud and clear! Thank you for expressing every teachers thoughts.
"Is this the same school where the internet never works"
So trueeee😂😂😂
Oh my God he is saying everything I am thinking 🥺😂😂😂
My kids all have internet and devices, or we provided them. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I upped my teaching game this past quarter and I'm vowing to keep the momentum going in the fall. Boom!
Oh my gosh! Right on!!!
Truth was spoken here!!
Well said my brotha, well said!!
I was so mad when this video ended! 😂😂😂 .... cant follow instructions but can execute the hell out of tik tok. Bwaaahahaahaa!!!
Best thing I every saw, from one teacher to another
We got the "best" of both worlds at our school. Virtual learning and F2F in the classroom together. I think by the end of this semester, about half the faculty are going to go on anti-depression or anti-anxiety meds. No one knows until they've done it. On paper, it doesn't sound that bad. Had the counselor come in to present to some seniors, and by the end of it, she was looking at me wide-eyed and going "how do you all do this?" Sound issues. Video issues. Wifi issues. Attendance issues. Students refusing to show their faces...most citing shyness or anxiety but then about 80% of those step away and then never return. Teaching the same thing five or six times because they don't pay attention and get distracted by temptations and goings-on at home - so much of attentiveness really is dependent on proximity and being in a classroom setting. Everything on an electronic platform but then huge chunks of class time spent teaching them how to use the tech to teach them, and we aren't talking about obscure programs either. We're talking how to make an editable copy of a docs or navigate the links on a website. Then you have children with special needs who are elearning and the extra time and energy to accommodate them while also trying to see to the classroom of students you have, and if you think they just diligently work while you're at your computer remediating for a virtual student, you have not stepped into a modern day classroom in a while or else grew up in Stepford. Finally, whatever paperwork you imagined we did before, triple it. I could go on, but I'm just too dang tired.
I'm soooo tired.
This collaboration was heaven sent
Maaaan..... That hit hard in my heart seriously.... Like this man told all my frustrations in like 3 minutes...
This is the most accurate real video i have seen all day
Lol I’m a sub for Atlanta Public Schools and I’m still getting a check AYYY! Lol but I also had to do remote learning with my son who was in K-5. He was SLAMMED and I was exhausted. But it’s finally over. Thank you Jesus!
Jennifer Quetant that's a blessing! Im a sub too in Georgia, and I'm still waiting on my unemployment money smh.
Keep on messing with us and every teacher in the world is gonna log off. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!! Admin better recognize this long-term before every teacher in the world quits the profession and all American schools go under.
Never in my life have I seen so many listings for teaching jobs. I'm wondering...
@@margybernard You guessed right.
If things make a turn for the worse and this is required in the Fall, we will be in the midst of a Great Depression where there will be no other jobs. Since the governments were so steeped in debt before this started, we may not be able to spend our way out of it.
You are my hero! I just sent your video to 3 tv stations! You said what we all think!!
Lucky for my teachers, this is the last day of having to teach my moronic school. Now they actually get to enjoy not having to teach
Your teachers are not all teachers. Every teacher in my district, including myself, clocked 50-60 hours per week on a platform we've never used before.
I know that. They do WAY more than just teach. I am very grateful for that. I am just saying that now they don’t have to deal with the students on zooms, google classroom, etc. I know the work is never done. In fact I know that almost every single one of my teachers is currently cleaning out our classrooms and lockers for us.
Thank you teachers for doing what you do every day cause I AIN'T the one!!
#SubsLivesMatter😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my God, so true it hurts! Being a teacher right now sucks and it ain't the kids. Love that district micro managment plan! Yep
This said it all!
LOVE IT !! My daughter's teacher just told me she's also confused and has no idea how in the world we would pull this off. I am completely confused with these meetings the teacher spend more time explaining the Spanish speakers what in the world things mean then teaching.
LOL 😂 this is getting ready to be a crazy year!
😂 that was perfect!
LMBO!!! EVERbody DUN went CRAY CRAY!!!BEST video EVER THANK-YOU for being soooo humble
😂🤣 Thanks for saying everything I want to!!!
Mr. Eddie speaks the TRUTH!
This is perfect. Every word. I relate on so many levels!
FINALLY!!! Someone who is willing to REALLY tell the truth. Online teaching is SUCH a waste. Illinois is moronic enough to tell everyone that if a kid hands in something they get an A? Really, is that what we've become? Why dont we give them lollipops too for just signing on? There will never be a replacement for that one-on-one contact with students in class. Hell, what we are doing is no more than youtube direction videos for kids. This is NOT teaching, especially when there is no accountability. I hope and pray we get back into school and into a REAL classroom. And can someone please invent a pill so that when i hear terms like: "Teams, Google Docs, Virtual Learning, Online Teaching and especially SOCIAL DISTANCING (I know, has nothing to do with teaching)" I don't profusely vomit! :) :) :) :)
That’s how it was here at my school in Texas. If you did the work, even if you put no effort into it at all, you would get a 100. There were some kids writing answers that didn’t even pertain to the lesson, but because they had something, they automatically get a 100 due to our new district rules.
I love this video. It definitely sums up what everyone is thinking during covid shut down
I needed this! Thank you for the laughs!!
BRAAAAHHH!!! EXACTLY!!!! THIS IS HOW THE STUDENTS FEEL, TOO!!!!(LOL ALL DAY)🤣🤣🤣🤣😏😏😏
In Florida, U.S.A. School ends next week 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💕💕💕🙀🤗
Lucky
Piggie Time lol
@N Lee, it’s so exciting!🥳But we go back earlier than you do.🥺😂
lucky for u guys
In eastern Nebraska, school ended on the 15th.
Love this video!! So true.. I'm quarantining from the stress in
the fall. For real!
This was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! "these kids wasnt engaged when they were in school"
"If it's not a requirement, why are the teachers required to do everything".......THAT PART!
Thank you!!! You just described my last two weeks!!!
Keep it up...school districts are crazy right now!!!!
“Is this the same school where the internet never works???” 😂😂😂 Facts!
Yesss!! That part!! Everything you said.
My mom is a teacher so I know what it’s like from both perspectives
Yessssss to all of it!!! Thank you!!!
As a Phys Ed teacher doing the distance learning I just subbed so fast!! Sleepy down low...🤣🤣🤣
Yes, thank you! This seems more stressful!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I sure wasn't bored listening to this guy! I wish my videos were as lively as his!
Hahahahaha... reality. I am glad we have a week left...
Sooooo great!!
Well said!! I wish gov and districts are cool as you are! Just pause everything
Not a teacher and my children are out of college, but I am so glad I watched this because it’s hilarious.
This was So funny.. 😂😂😂😂😂my country has now decided to do these things... and I feel EXACTLY the same....
And then when teachers are laid off and parents are complaining their children need to learn, you will understand why education can never be on hold. Education represents the future of our country.
I hope you are an educator because this was funny for the exact reason it needed to be
I need this in my life right now. 😂😂😂😂 I cant believe he said “subs lives matter” #teacherlife
So dang funny!! I’m actually doing pretty well with my students and distance learning...so far, now that daily attendance and participation is REQUIRED but dang it’s a LOT more work for me having to post everything online!! Only problem I’m having is getting pictures for my yearbook class to actually produce a yearbook cuz umm...err...no sports, no activities, no classes meeting to take photos in.... ya, it’s awesome trying to collect photos from students and parents! 😂 Been in school for 5 days today and have maybe 15 pictures submitted, not all of them usable! LOL! But we’re working on it! On the plus side I did get to over 500 followers on my yearbook IG page in just 36 hours! It took me two years just to get to 175! LOL! Some of the kids claim internet doesn’t work to log into zoom or google classroom but that IG and TikTok sure do work! HAHA! 🤔🤔🤔
"that's why I require liquor" - love you!
Need to make a video of what teachers really do at conferences and conventions they attend.
