My son is in 2nd grade and has been "dating" the same girl since kindergarten. He bought her a sweatshirt that matches one of his with money he earned doing extra chores. His "dating" life is more stable than mine. 😅
That’s so funny 😂❤
Are the season two teacher coming back
So cute lmao
That is so funny
This is the most precious thing!!
Valentine's Day. High School. The day of teddy bears the size of Volkswagens, balloon bouquets big enough to lift the bearer, cheap dollar store candy and crying teens. Yep, loved it.
You're spot on about how awkward middle school relationships are. When my boys were in middle school, my youngest son would always end up in relationships he didn't really want to be in. The girls would come up to him and "say I like you. Do you wanna be in a relationship with me?" He would say,"I guess if you want to. " 🤷🏽♂️
Then, the girls would end up getting upset because he wouldn't call them 24-7 or want to stay on the phone all day with them. I had to tell him to stop getting into these types of relationships because it didn't seem like he really wanted to be in one. Lol
When my oldest son was in middle school he asked if I could buy some boxes of chocolate for his then "girlfriend" No lie he instead of giving her the chocolates he ate the one I bought for him and then ate the box he had for her 😑 🤣😂
Now they are both in HS and my oldest is "in love" they stay on facetime all day and even go to sleep while still on FT. Smh I always end up hanging up the phone because he's knocked out sleeping while she's on FT also sleeping 😴 lol awww the joys of puppy love.
I taught Kindergarten for 19 years and first grade for 7. I had the students write their name on their valentines, then each student just walked around placing one valentine in each student’s bag. It goes very quickly. Half of the class did it before lunch, then the rest after.
This is the type of expert advice we need in professional development these days! 😂
How are you so stable after teaching little hooligans for 28 years?
Yess that’s what teachers always did when I was growing up in elementary school. I think even up until 5th grade. I thought it was a common thing to bring valentines for everyone in the class because that’s what we used to do
I worked abroad for a while as a student teaching assistant. The teacher of the class was male and we became friends. There's was also a female 1:1 in the class with a student too, and she was also good friends with this male. teacher. The kids decided to ship me and the male teacher together. Then, when I wasn't there one day and he went to grab lunch with the 1:1, they were genuinely terrified he was cheating on me.
When I came back, they all gathered together like "Omg Miss Emily, I'm so sorry about Mr (male teacher). He went for lunch with the 1:1, and we thought you deserved to know.
I love that they had enough love for me to tell me that and also that they had no idea the male teacher was gay with a husband at home so therefore no interest in me. 😂😂
I'm definitely married to my middle school awkward boyfriend. After being obsessed for YEARS through school over him. Watching him in other relationships I finally move on and get pregnant at 19 then 3 years later we reconnected and have been together 8 years married 6
I love this for you ❤️ I just got done commenting saying that I was with the 2 same boys in middle school and they were best friends but all through middle school I would switch back-and-forth between which one I wanted to date it that yeand then when I moved on to high school I was done with them and it was like my 3rd week into high school and this boy walked into class and I was like I have to have this guy and we've been together over since.. You've been together since 2003 9th grade so almost 20 years..
I’m the lame mom that does “you’re such a cutie” with a mandarin, or “you make my ❤ pop” with a bag of microwave popcorn
*adorable mom ☺️💛
Ummm... No *AMAZING mom! We love a good Valentine's pun!
Exactly!
I take a break from studying to listen to your podcast to keep myself sane 😂❤ Thank you guys!
Are the season two teacher coming back
Thank YOU for listening!
@@TeachersOffDutyPodcast there was a historic figure In India my ansctors country. Named Durgawati Devi she married her husband another Indian Revolutionary at 11 years old after completing the 5th grade. In Brtish ruled India back when India was still a Brtish colony. The same age group of students Lauren teaches. It's hard to believe at one point in history that was common practice 11 years old 5th grade student getting married.
So im a teenager who is in year 9/9th grade and I am from England so we don't celebrate valentine's Day like how the Americans do. So I have a twin (obviously not gonna say her name) but she has had a boyfriend (not gonna say his name either) but one of my teachers is so nice but hates the boyfriends and girlfriends but we all still do it. So the day before valentines day we go to her class and our class is so excited and she didnte know how many boyfriends and girlfriend there were until that day. She was shocked that there was that many. But the assistant for helping out our sensory child asked me if I had a boyfriend I said maybe... 😬. And the day it turned valentine's Day we all just go to our lockers and the gift ceremony starts. We all go ALL OUT and it's so fun. When we go to her class she was confused why we were so happy. And I said that we all got valentine's Day presents and it was so sweet. There are about 5 pairs of boyfriends and girlfriends at our school and basically I have just spilled the tea ☕ about valentine's Day.
Mic drop 🎤💥.
I'm completely with Tell when it comes to eating chocolate. My go-to is always peanut butter cups!!! This episode was great & brought back a lot of school memories!!! Much love from this Oklahoma Grl 💋🖤
Are the season two teacher coming back
Much love from us and thank you so much for listening!
"You just have to crop dust them" Mrs. M should definitely be a perm member
I have 2 sets of kids dating in one class and they hold hands during class. It's sickeningly sweet
Awwwwwww
Awe
My bf and I have been dating since sixth grade, were juniors in college now, it’s so silly to look back though and see how cringe our relationship was in middle school
Dude I am in 7th grade and in a tech class of all boys and I hear all the drama out of the classroom and I get it from them by eavesdropping so my tech teacher will always come to me for the the gossip and complete stories it is the best thing ever
Oh also another thing in 4th grade a kid literally texted me on Google classroom where everyone could see and literally asked me to be his valentine! And everyone knew before me! I quickly responded No and felt so bad
I told my teacher my crush one time and then I told her that my friends boyfriend was Bearton and guess who was sitting next to me and GUESS WHO WAS SITTING NEXT TO MY FRIEND
then when I asked her a question and she said “*helping me* Oh and Maddy” “yes?”
“you’re welcome”
When he said toy story 3 I felt personally attacked 😂 I was finishing my undergrad when that movie came out 😂😂😂
I am dying at the MySpace conversations !!! It’s such the truth !!!
It was vicious back in the day out on MySpace!
@@TeachersOffDutyPodcast Now we have Facebook instead with that big tech lizard nerd.
Is it bad that I’m in 6th grade but LOVE watching these and think they are so funny? Plus it brings a positive mood to going to school and you get kick out it… remember that you are an amazing terrific beautiful human and you are loved..!!!
Wanted to share a story from my neice:
She said she liked this guy a lot. They flirted all during classes, did projects together, and overall hung out all the time. Oh and they dyed their hair with a matching purple streak. she thought they would become boyfriend/girlfriend soon and he would ask her to the school dance. When he didn't ask her, she finally asked him if he would go to the dance with her.
He said "yeah totally! Let me ask my girlfriend and if she says no, we can go!"
She said he said it like it was a causal Tuesday.
💀
I went back to visit my 5th grade teacher the day before Valentine’s Day because I had to pick up my little brother and we parked on a different spot than usual and one of the kids came out with there Valentine’s Day box and they had made a cardboard valentines day vending machine with like candy in a window and everything it was so creative and amazing but it was like have her size and it was just funny to see a little girl carrying around this huge thing
That twang in Gabe’s voice when he says Valentine’s 😆
My school was huge, the only 7-12 grade in the public schools. Every grade level had a graduating class of 400 approx. The benefits of being in the same building the middle schoolers got to partake in the programs that were meant for the upper class men like these Secret admirer roses that they sent out for Valentine’s Day. Every time someone came in to deliver roses there was someone crying when they left the room. Most of the classrooms were us girl’s writing these elaborate love notes on our black paper with silver jelly rollers. Everything seemed so life and death back then. Now, when I hear my friend’s teenager going on about the dating politics at school I just laugh. It was the end of the world back then, and how I would love for those to be my biggest issues lol!
Nice episode!! I love Ms. M..hopefully she can be a main cast member of the podcast...the four of you all have really great chemistry together as a group!!
I love this group so much!!! I love how open they are getting with one another
I love this episode. I remember Valentine’s Day being so traumatic every single year. But I never thought about how these adult teachers had to be the ones overseeing all of this trauma. I bet you all have ptsd from having to witness all of these kids little hearts breaking left and right
Ya know what I don't like...when the PTO sends out forms so that the kids can buy heart lollipops to give to their friends. Of course, there are kids who have no friends. (my one child) It so sad for that kid to come home with no lollipops. I get why the PTO does this but please think of those kids who never get a lollipop. They also did this for the Christmas holidays. Also, my kids went to a school in a low income area. People didn't have the money to buy these items (they charged a $1 each). I'm just happy my kids are older now. Great video as always.
I actually laughed out loud a few times, and that's hard for me to do right now because I'm sick. Thanks for the smiles and laughs!
Yes, to being lonely when you didn't have a bf/gf and then what do you with your crap if you don't have a car or stuff doesn't fit in locker. I'm sure it's the most distracting day for teachers of teens
My kids school isn't having parents send anything. They are having friendship day and doing things for each other at school. When they could take things I may have been the extra mom (before I became a teacher haha).
I got my very first boyfriend at the end of 4th grade, and it lasted for almost 2 years and ended in 6th grade because he cheated on me. I later found out that it was a mis communication and the girl was his female friend not his girlfriend.
Middle school. What a time to be alive.
It’s probably just me, but I get so distracted by Gabe moving his leg around so carefully so he doesn’t hit the mic😂😂 It’s not a big deal, but I laugh to myself every time
I’m in 6th grade and today my science teacher told me a story about a friend at a different school, and I wanted to share it with you. This teacher has asthma, and her students know that. One day when she had left the classroom, all her students started spraying room spray, perfume, body spray, etc. This caused her to have a MAJOR asthma attack in the middle of class. This is so awful and it’s very sad bc my teacher used to teach there but switched to my school bc of the horrible students.
Enjoyed Mrs.M on the Podcast would love to see her as a permanent member of the cast.
Dear teachers off duty, every Sunday night I get in bed and I listen to your podcast, it’s basically a personal tradition at this point,but I have a topic that I would really like for you to talk about on the pod, it doesn’t have to be the whole episodes topic but I would like if you atleast included it in a episode. I am personally homeschooled, but my friend is not and she is very very smart and has the best grades in her class, her teacher made a partner work where you make a poster with someone, or a group, idk. But the teacher told her “ you won’t work with a partner because your grades are the highest in the class”. Personally I don’t think this is ok, That actually should not be ok, working together isn’t because you need someone else to help you do something or because your not the smartest person ever, it’s for working on your team work and partnership, the school should not allow someone to work alone because their “better” or have “better grades compared to others” even if you are the smartest you still need to learn how to work with others and compromise and work with new people. Kids still new to learn life skills, school is not just for math, reading, grammer, etc. kids need to learn how to cope and work with new people in their future, they need to be inconvenienced sometimes, and they need to be good at working with someone who does not have the same knowledge as them. I may not be right in this topic, I’m only 11 but it would mean absolutely everything if you could include this in an episode! Thankyou so much for your time!! 🫶🏻
That's a good idea for a topic.
@@julvwildcat190 thankyou !!
This is a great idea! I was surprised when you said you were 11. The way your comment is written, i assumed you were a high school student. You're very articulate and definitely have a lot of emotional intelligence, as well as obvious book smarts. That's awesome! Keep on questioning things and thinking critically.
Same
First episode I've ever watched and I def lol-ed a few times. Y'all wrong for crop dusting the students... Not. They deserve it 🤣
I was subbing once on Valentine's Day and due to the general class schedule at that school the teacher had set out the time for Valentine's right before snack/recess and had even left a bunch of sugar cookies from the grocery store for her class and specifically mentioned in the sub plan, "they can have these in addition to their school snack" which will be before recess. Two kids in the class ALSO brought sugar cookies to hand out and as soon as the kiddos got into their Valentine's Day candy (in addition to the three cookies they got) there was no stopping them from devouring everything (especially since they had a substitute that they did not want to listen to). So basically recess that day ended up being a hurricane of sugar rush + kids getting sick from all the sugar. >.
I watch all of these videos! I want to be a teacher when I'm older.
I don’t think these kids could handle MySpace friend rankings.
When i was little my mom made me give everyone a valentine and if i was going to give my friend a birthday invite,i had to give everyone an invite,even the boys,even though they never came to not one of my birthday parties. All that really did would make me feel bad when my mom would prep all these things and only less than 10 people would show up. The last birthday i had,only my best friend showed up,so we ate all the snack bags my mom made.
YOOO shout out to AVID! Made me break my back every year with the single binder for a whole school year each year!
It's basically a college preparedness course that takes place of an elective for all 4 years of your HS career. It's things like career exploration, college tours, resumes, etc
OMG , I was in AVID from 7-12 grade. And came back as a tutor for 3 years after I graduated high school. I loved my AVID teachers!
I was with the same 2 guys back and forth all through 6-8th grade lol. Joey and A.J. Also they were bestfriendss lmao. They also are still bestfriends to this very day..then I move onto high school and I see this guy like the 2nd week of school in my 3rd hour and I was like OMG I gotta have this guy lol,Well I got him and were still together. Married with 3 kids. Literally 20yrs we've been together. Since October 2003 we been together ❤️ 💛 💗
Oh honey.. the batman valentine story just broke my heart 💔 All the more reason to teach kids that you can like boys or girls or both or none and that's fine.
My now twelve-year-old thinks that she has a boyfriend currently but I also found out she's had like 3 or 4 different boyfriends since 6th grade and she legit thinks she's dating these people I just laugh at her and say yeah I had middle school boyfriends too but bottom line is you can't even date them. #1 its our rules and they could not pick you up in a car they can't buy you anything with their own money And you're not allowed to date until you're graduated so good luck with that sister..
AWWWW!!!
My kids tried to hook me up with single staff in their elementary. I was like absolutely not. Like we would just be a great match since we are both single and alone. 😂
I just hate that we were forced to give everyone a valentines card or candy even to the bullies.
Frank. Frank was my first fckboy. We met in 6th grade & it went on & off for practically a decade!
I'm good now though. Dear Frank, if you find this, you did your damage & I forgive you now that we're in our later 20s. Lol the algorithm would be the only reason we cross paths.😆
man imagine being attracted to a Frank when you're this pretty😭
@@luxursunsets ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
At my school we do not celebrate any holidays.
We are allowed to have friendship parties at valentines day time. We give them bags to decorate them at school. They can bring valentines day cards or treats to share.
I dare Gabe to not say, and every 2 seconds while he's telling us storeI dare Gabe to not say, and every 2 seconds while he's telling a story.
Some of this drama is hilarious!
I love your videos so much happy Valentine’s Day teachers of duty❤😊
Why does Gabe make me feel older than heck?! 😭
I have my first graders address them with names. It takes less than 30 minutes for all deliveries to be made. I like for them to be personal. If they bring other cards/gifts for other teachers, I have them all deliver them by groups after that. Two kids take all the ones addressed to PE coach; 2 kids take to the office staff, etc. No sweat. Veteran teacher. 😉
If am your friend and you fall I’ll make sure you are ok, maybe I’ll snicker, but if you are my bff then I will laugh so hard I can’t breath, and than I’ll help you up.
One year in elementary a student brought a really cool valentines box that was a vending machine
Ohhh the MySpace top friends 😂🤣
You guys said "family project" and, as a single mom of two littles, I physically cringed. Please teachers lol I love you! But Mamma works full time, college part time and raises these two littles by myself. No . More . Family . Projects . Pleease 🤣
OMG I hate Valentines Day as a teacher! It is better in PreK because I do not give parents homework. Students can sign their Valentines or not. They must bring 20 NON ADDRESSED Valentines and I put them in the bags during nap. Then we eat snacks and put treats in their 🎒.
Thanks for making me feel old, lol 😆
Gilmore Girls with Mr Medena isn't real 😂
I have a younger sister who’s in 6th grade and like she came home from school and started talking about this wedding that was going to happen but never happened a kid that was born custody of the kid and in one day 😂
NAH MY MIDDLE SCHOOL DOESN'T EVEN DO VALENTINES DAY i thought i heard some teachers saying stuff about bringing it back this year but yk still it was so much fun in elementary school like why cant we do it now? i mean there probably would be problems along with it but just keep a close eye yk?
Lmfao, I had a teacher in high school and she was specifically my English and art teacher. And she was so into literature to the point she would "ship" students lmao. She "shipped" me and my friend and right before we graduated, we actually did date for a little while lmfao.🤦♀️ she did the same to my sister and my sister really likes the guy already but they haven't ever dated.
omg i did avid in middle school 😭😭😭
I dated someone in year 4 and it was a 1 year thing and then another person for 4 months in year 5
who took a bite of the cookie and put it in the box for all to see the whole episode?
Nice ❤❤❤

What’s a Leroy
I had a first grader last year who brought in a "rabbit" but she knew exactly what it was and how to use it
I actually married my middle school sweetheart. 🥰
Ok why does head start fall under Health and human services and not the department of education. Also not being allowed to have to candy ya I can guarantee you no one follows that rule.
Please have mr mctiktok on the podcast!!!
High school dating was the best virgin years of my life because I think when u r that age it’s really no expectations well in MY high days I had 2 boy friends for 2 years in the same school I had our schedules down to the tee it blow up my senior year my 12th English teacher pulled me to the side and definitely told me how toxic I was because she knew both of them were loved me she told me my mind and heart was not in-line but both of those men now are still amazing men!!
