As a PREK teacher, Tell knows that the ICK is REAL. My least favorite ICK is teachers acting like they are in highschool and cliquing up; spreading rumors/personal business/favoritism, ESPECIALLY in front of the kids.
No bc literally I had this US Govt teacher who I had for freshmen year and who didnt like me for some reason and he's always looking at me disgusted like i did something. and ive heard he always talks abt me. and then a few days ago, i was literally walking down the hall minding my own business and he was talking to the other teachers and then he saw me and he was like "look its the weirdo" like do u have anything better to do?
My biggest ick is when admin sends an email getting on to the entire staff instead of addressing the issue with the one or two people that are the actual offenders.
When I was teaching music, I was in a classroom and told a kid to move to purple (move their clip up) and the poor kid was so used to moving their clip down that they almost put it on yellow. Luckily, I was watching and ready to go a group “whoop-whoop!” and helped him move it to purple. I got rid of my clip chart in my 1st grade classroom last year and was excited to throw it in the garbage where it belonged.
Ok my biggest idk period is ants but like mobs of them liek that makes me wanna barf 🤮 soo gross i cant look or i will throw up and then my skin feels like it’s crawling and it’s so bad
I just finished watching the podcast. One of my favorite things was on the first day of kindergarten when one of the dads who came to pick up his son recognized me as his kindergarten teacher! He ran into the room shouting “I knew it was you! I knew it was you!” He came over and gave me a big hug , and said to the other parents that I had been his kindergarten teacher. His son was a sweet boy, who looked just like his dad.
When I worked in our school's Freshmen Academy we used to joke about how cheap the TP and paper towels were..."the TP won't tear, and the paper towels tear too easily." Those brown towels are like unprocessed wood pulp, splinters and all.
Head Start teacher here: When your supervisor jumps to conclusions over an issue that never existed in the first place. Non-ick: When every single one of your students run up to you first thing when they get to school and have to give you a hug first thing!
I would like to give an ick and a yas (what I call a non-ick): 1. Ick - Teachers not supporting other teachers. Most of the things you described would be more bearable if your colleagues were supportive, but if they aren’t, it makes life in the classroom impossible. 2. Yas - when the students do something unexpected that brightens your day. I was dealing with a death in the family and unbearably sick last year at the same time. When I got back, my students came together and bought me a care package with treats, and Harry Potter mug, and gel pens! They also wrote a note that was so encouraging. They did it without any prompting from anyone else.
Teaching pre k for 27 years I had soo many iks but especially the nap time farts and poop accidents . 🥴 Tell would agree 🤮. But also I was asked to coodle the parents - 😮 HUGE ik for me . Appreciate the content this week . You guys ROCK.❤❤
On the ICK as a student, my brother was in the gifted program and they tested me almost every year from kindergarten to like third grade to see if I was gifted too. It made me feel stupid compared to him.
You fine folks are great to listen to. I remember back when I taught and it is good to know the more things change the more they stay the same. As an admin at the the HS level I appreciate your take and honesty. I hope you all work with teams you can be this honest with. Best wishes from the dark side. PS. Control of you rooms temp is no joke!!!
My ick is teachers who seldom give subs a compliment. I grade papers during plan time, always try hard to get the work done, and carry plans in my bag for teachers who don't leave lesson plans. Kudos to teachers who leave good ,clear plans.
My senior year government teacher could care less about teaching. I couldn’t tell you anything I learned cause I didn’t. Our tests and quizzes we were having our study guides with us. And the study guides we just filled in blanks by following it on the board. And we were always done like 30-45 minutes early. And we just did nothing the whole time. Like… while it was made an easy class to pass. But it would had been nice to be able to remember material we were taught. And I don’t. Cause we weren’t.
To be fair I think AP classes are super needed although the elitism is fucked up. I genuinely think educational standards are much lower than what students of high school ages can handle (but that’s a different convo). I would have been so terribly bored in regular classes. Like I had a friend who was having mental health issues and failed honors English 2 and had to do regular English 3 and she was venting to me about how they’d spent over a month writing a one page essay about patriotism. On the other hand I had an AP history teacher that told our class that we were all going to college and the kids across the hall (regular history) would be doing manual labor and I did think that was incredibly fucked up to say
OMG when i was in 7th grade two girls brought FART SPRAY in class and sprayed it in class, the windows wouldnt open. we had three girl puke and we had to be EVACUATED!!!!!!!!!!!
I teach young preschool (3 year olds). A physical ICK for me is when kids pick their nose then eat their boogers, or lick their snot instead of getting a tissue 🤢 A mental/emotional ICK would have to be spending a ton of time on sub plans and then nothing getting done. Like, why did I even bother prepping all of these materials??
My biggest ick as a student is the fact that my school is implementing an electronic hall pass where no more than three boys and three girls can go to the bathroom at one time... for the entire school.
My 6th grade history teacher first day said if you have to throw up. Get up, grab the trash by the door and just leave.. that was back in 2002.. I hope mr Thomas is enjoying his retirement
Im still a student but in my 5th grade year, the teachers only sent out one student at a time and then a new rule came out saying that after the fifth grade lunch everyday the bathrooms got closed down so nobody could go. I HATED it. Cause our lunch was like, 1-2 hours away from the end of the day. We had to go but the teacher said we couldmt unless we wanted to walk all the way down to the nurse's office (whicj was at the front, we were at the back) and go to the bathroom.
At recital last year, a group of girls decided that spraying their Bath and Bodyworks spray in the small dressing room with a girl that’s extremely asthmatic was a good idea and even after asking them multiple times not to apply spray on deodorant or to use Bath and Bodyworks they continue to do it, causing the girl to have a major asthma attack when all of them had a stick deodorant in their bag also because it’s a requirement.
The head janitor at my husband's school decided he was going to do his part in helping the district save money by having the building's AC turn off at noon. School dismissed at 2:40 and it was miserably hot by the time school got out. By the time my husband's afterschool clubs finished, it was so hot it was hard to breathe. I should probably mention that he's a Network Security and Information Technology instructor and has 30 computers in his room that run all day long. He begged them for two years to keep the AC on because his room would be over 90 degrees by the end of the day. It wasn't until he reminded the district that the building's computer servers were housed in a closet in the back of his room, they must be kept cool, and would cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace should they overheat that they finally decided it wasn't worth the savings to keep shutting the AC off at noon. His building is the newest building in the district (built almost 20 years ago) and was built without windows that open in the classrooms because it's fully air conditioned (unlike the other buildings in the district), so opening a window wasn't an option.
Never allow a veteran teacher or administrator talk down to you in front of your kids. If an admin has questions, redirect and tell them your planning period and state it is educational time. Veteran teachers stop them immediatley and redirect.
I had to laugh at the handkerchief part. My Dad carried a handkerchief from as early back as I can remember. He had a job that his hands got dirty. And finally after ruining the nice white handkerchiefs, my Mom started getting him dark colored handkerchiefs . And I remember laughing about it. Thinking how gross it was he snotted in it and then stuck it back in his pocket. And plus with the dark color of the square of fabric the snot showed up well. But also dirty finger prints didn’t show up either.
Not giving a pen back is terrible edicate. I'm in a choir, and some never bring a pencil (required because we mark things that may need to be later erased). Someone borrowers my pencil because I always bring two and they don't give it back. I'm like hum.... same with pens. During VBS, someone borrowed a pen and walked off. Bless her heart, she returned it 2 hours later. I love that! It was a good pen, too.
AP courses WERE for me, but the school only had a few classes. ONLY the "good" kids could get in. Not about grades. I had 2 jobs and was straight As. Could have saved at LEAST a year of college.
I was a prek teacher for 4 months and it was the most rewarding experience. However, many of the teachers believed since the kids were so young that they wouldn't remember what was said around them. Some of the things the teachers said about a kid *infront* of that kid... I totally understand needed to talk about them, but it should always be to try and help the kids, not just vent. I swear that place was one of the most toxic places I worked with teacher cliques and the trash teachers would say behind eachothers back.... Teaching college ain't that much better, but at least the standards aren't what they are in the public education, K-12 system
I didnt put gum under the desk but when a teacher yelled at me infront of everyone (idk I think she called on me and realized I zoned out for a minute) I did chew a bunch of gum and leave it on a teachers seat right before lunch knowing she would be eating the food in her room. I hope she found some empathy after ranting at me infront of 20+ other kids i was in tears bc i felt so embarrassed. I was generally a good student, I think they were adjusting my medication and that's just how ADHD is. Former student, teachers without empathy are my ICK. Don't bully your students.
I was in 2nd grade (7th grade now) but my teacher got mad bc my table did sm dumb I don’t remember but if you got on red or orange you had to walk laps but I got on yellow and my 2nd grade Brain thought on had to walk laps and then my teacher came over and told me I did not have to walk laps and I cried for the rest of recess
Lunch in the trash can be smelled over the middle school body and foot odor? I can’t even imagine how y’all can live through those people kind of odors. 🤮 At least first graders only smell like dirt and sweat (no b.o.) after recess when the weather is hot.

Sorry but have to disagree about AP and Honors classes being ick. Would you say special Ed classes are ick? Why is it different?? Kids work hard to get into those upper courses!
I had a friend still in HS after I graduated and I was trying to be badass by bringing him fast food. They made him eat that food in the office so the other students didn't see it 😅
I hated the clip when i was younger, apparently in 1st grade my teacher thought i was so much of a terror, she'd move my clip so often, i don't even remember half the things i did so it didn't help me to learn how to behave.she then set up a teacher's conference with the principal and my mom just said rap her on the fingers with a ruler,then its done with, because she hated how that witch of a teacher would single me out when all of my other teachers had no problems. And in elementary i had mostly female teachers,it wasn't because i was more respectful towards male teachers. And my mom was actually volunteering in the library one day when my 1st grade class was in there,and when the kids were waiting for instructions quietly,1st grade lady and the librarian were talking about the union. She didn't even let me get a book from the book fair because it was beyond my reading level,so my mom hated her for that.
My school district made national news during the last major cold front because the units were not working properly and people called the local news station. The temperature was in the 30's in some of the schools.
My biggest ick made my colleague throw up. A little girl found a used tampon on the floor in the bathroom and walked out into the hall to me and handed it to me. Yes. I put my hand out and took it before realizing what it was. 🤢
My very first day of school when i was little i went to school one day and i was just not having it that day and i just didn’t want to do my school work and my teacher was so shocked cause i just came in class got my clip and pulled it all the way down to red
for my school we have 2 bathroom breaks a day keep in mind we have 7 classes, so if we have to use the bathroom outside of those bathroom breaks we have to use a emergency bathroom pass that we only have 4 of those emergency passes a semester and if we fill up those passes we get a tracking signature.
There was a rotting frog in my classroom so a kid in my class sprayed cologne to masks the smell but our teacher was allergic to cologne so she literally had to go to the hospital like we felt so bad but we didn’t know she had a allergy to cologne
My son just started 5th grade and I told his home room teacher that he’s a sped student so he will get pulled and she flat out told me no I won’t allow it bc we have stat testing for science so she won’t allow him to get pulled for his sped program
I had an ick when I was in middle school. One of the aids on staff thought that it was ok to share my personal information with another STUDENT! I was mortified and honestly kind of hurt. I really liked and respected the aid before that and ended up having to defend myself from a verbal attack from a classmate because an aid opened her mouth and was talking about my mental diagnosis with this other student.
So I'm a student in middle school, and the biggest ick that I had was about like gun violence. Because a treat went trough on snap for the highschool and my school was a part of it. So we went on a semi lockdolockdown and the internet was down too. Then at the end of the day we found out it was a fake threat... That was such an ick
I just can't get over the sound of kids (well or anyone) chewing on hard plastic or metal (like pencils, forks, pens)- I started bringing mints and lollipops to my class specifically to prevent this!!!, it was just sooooo freaking cringe-worthy (and I get that some folks have an oral fixation but you shouldn't risk chipping a tooth! Dental visits are PRICEY). Also not necessarily applicable to Middle or High School, but the weird food combinations my elementary kiddos would eat always made me gag.
look up chewy necklaces, they are designed for people ho crave oral stimulation, they are non-toxic, many are designed to even be cool, chic, fad, age-appropriate looking, id say give em out to all of the people in your classes, they are a huge help for folks who suck or chew / mouth to relieve stress, regulate sensory needs, to help focus and concentrate and so on.
When I was a Sped Para, I hated dealing with vomit or snot/drool/spit. I could handle blood and change the gnarliest diaper blow outs, but vomit was 🤢. The last classroom I worked in was next to the door to the outside, and would get so humid that the floor would become slippery, which is a falling hazard. 😬
Tell, I couldn't read in second grade, but could spell any word in the dictionary... I get it man. I truly do. Until I gave birth to my son I read at a 9th grade level... after I had him, I placed out of all college English classes. Suddenly, it just. made. sense.
This is a question for Mrs.Wolly why is it that teacher have to make up these stupid ways to do division or multiple a like Tarzan for example like just teach us regular long division
Unfortunately, teachers don't really have control over that. We get the curriculum and have to teach it. At least in public schools, idk about private or charter.
Ick: teachers who call their kids best friends. That’s just so creepy to hear someone say that to the kids. Build relationships but not BF status. Non-ick: teaching a subject I really love, and getting to show that passion to the kids. Clip charts are fine to use, competition between kids is good, embarrassment is good for kids. Just be there to teach the lesson afterwards
Not me over here like, my apartment is always 85°+ cus of no A.C and I have to sleep in that 😅😂😂😂💀 and at work, I be sweating so much it stings my eyes and it looks like I just stepped out the shower...I work for a big chain grocery store, they don't give a crap about if we're "comfortable"
31:37 My social studies teacher once was talking about another teacher (Who happens to be my advisory teacher) and was saying that she was apparently yelling the f word at student in the halls because they were running.
disruptive students returning from the principals office, the PRINCIPAL, loudly and sloppily eating a bag of DORITOS, dropped off with HIGH FIVE, kid comes in, now the whole class wants to be sent to the principals office!!
(student here) an ick I have is how lax schools (spesifically Canadian schools) have gotten, i'm hearing people throw slurs and just hate speech around in the hallways and in the classroom, I, and others have tried to bring up this issue to staff but nothing has been properly done to stop it, we've had talks about it but that doesn't stop anything. we need to hold students acountable for their speech in the classroom, you don't know who it could affect. (like theres ALOT of homophobia, and as a (openly) queer student I try to educate people on why that's wrong but it always goes in one ear and out the other)
Hey y'all, factory workers regularly also have the no-ac issue. Their union leaders (if they even have one) can't/ won't get with the head honchos to update or install something better than a fan. People I know have to work in swampass conditions from May to Nov. and I don't know if it's bc OSHA looks the other way or what. :(
At my school we call the opposite of "trigger" a "sparkle" Some of the best (primary) teacher sparkles: Silly dress up days Sitting and coloring with kids Getting letters in the mail from past students When the kids get in to a read aloud Closing the book at the end and having the kids at such rapt attention that they just sit there for a second like 😮 Accidental phallic artwork Accidental naughty spelling Getting to brag to parents about their kids, especially if their kids are "tough" Getting to learn all about their niche intrests, dinosaurs, eagles, greek mythology So many more
As a PREK teacher, Tell knows that the ICK is REAL. My least favorite ICK is teachers acting like they are in highschool and cliquing up; spreading rumors/personal business/favoritism, ESPECIALLY in front of the kids.
Bus drivers do this it drives me nuts
Me too !!!! I strongly dislike when they do that. Then get mad when you don’t want to be apart of the foolishness
No bc literally I had this US Govt teacher who I had for freshmen year and who didnt like me for some reason and he's always looking at me disgusted like i did something. and ive heard he always talks abt me. and then a few days ago, i was literally walking down the hall minding my own business and he was talking to the other teachers and then he saw me and he was like "look its the weirdo"
like do u have anything better to do?
My biggest ick is when admin sends an email getting on to the entire staff instead of addressing the issue with the one or two people that are the actual offenders.
I agree 100%! That is one of my biggest pet peeves.
Just causes rumors too because now everyone is talking about who it could be.
Or they make us go to a hour long meeting that could have been a email
FACTS. Those emails suck cause you know you didn't do it, but now you know someone did...
When I was teaching music, I was in a classroom and told a kid to move to purple (move their clip up) and the poor kid was so used to moving their clip down that they almost put it on yellow.

The fear of vomit, vomiting yourself or seeing others vomit is Emetophobia

The reaction of the other cast at the missed fist bump moment was both super sweet but hilarious seeing Gabe be super petty afterwards 🤣

Because they’re learning and growing. They’ll get there.

You can make biodegradable plastic out of starch.

Yet after all these ick’s teachers are still here giving it their all. We need to appreciate them more.
Or I’m sweating through my . . .
Me: “balls”
Him: pants

Tell was right on why many teachers are leaving the classroom in droves…..the pay is the LEAST amount of our concern!!! #SelfRespect
I hated the clip when i was younger, apparently in 1st grade my teacher thought i was so much of a terror, she'd move my clip so often, i don't even remember half the things i did so it didn't help me to learn how to behave.she then set up a teacher's conference with the principal and my mom just said rap her on the fingers with a ruler,then its done with, because she hated how that witch of a teacher would single me out when all of my other teachers had no problems. And in elementary i had mostly female teachers,it wasn't because i was more respectful towards male teachers. And my mom was actually volunteering in the library one day when my 1st grade class was in there,and when the kids were waiting for instructions quietly,1st grade lady and the librarian were talking about the union. She didn't even let me get a book from the book fair because it was beyond my reading level,so my mom hated her for that.
My school district made national news during the last major cold front because the units were not working properly and people called the local news station. The temperature was in the 30's in some of the schools.
My biggest ick made my colleague throw up. A little girl found a used tampon on the floor in the bathroom and walked out into the hall to me and handed it to me. Yes. I put my hand out and took it before realizing what it was. 🤢
My very first day of school when i was little i went to school one day and i was just not having it that day and i just didn’t want to do my school work and my teacher was so shocked cause i just came in class got my clip and pulled it all the way down to red
Axe Chocolate was my jam. If a boy was wearing that in Highschool I'd let him ruin my life.
for my school we have 2 bathroom breaks a day keep in mind we have 7 classes, so if we have to use the bathroom outside of those bathroom breaks we have to use a emergency bathroom pass that we only have 4 of those emergency passes a semester and if we fill up those passes we get a tracking signature.
Axe Chocolate was my sad jam in high school/college. I am femme non-binary. Sorry 😂😮😢
omg handkerchiefing with a tissue is literally a crime and they have the audacity to look at it 🤮🤮🤮
There was a rotting frog in my classroom so a kid in my class sprayed cologne to masks the smell but our teacher was allergic to cologne so she literally had to go to the hospital like we felt so bad but we didn’t know she had a allergy to cologne
My son just started 5th grade and I told his home room teacher that he’s a sped student so he will get pulled and she flat out told me no I won’t allow it bc we have stat testing for science so she won’t allow him to get pulled for his sped program
Emetaphobia fear of being sick
I had an ick when I was in middle school. One of the aids on staff thought that it was ok to share my personal information with another STUDENT! I was mortified and honestly kind of hurt. I really liked and respected the aid before that and ended up having to defend myself from a verbal attack from a classmate because an aid opened her mouth and was talking about my mental diagnosis with this other student.
It's a sugarcane straw I believe
I’m 32 and had bagged milk since elementary school down in Louisiana
So I'm a student in middle school, and the biggest ick that I had was about like gun violence. Because a treat went trough on snap for the highschool and my school was a part of it. So we went on a semi lockdolockdown and the internet was down too. Then at the end of the day we found out it was a fake threat... That was such an ick
My mom has been a culinary teacher for 6 years her sick is chewing loudly like omgggggg it really grosses her out
I put gum under the table twice in 8th grade and I have no idea why. I just wanted to be bad.
I felt 34:58 because I heard a teacher talk about me but I found out because of my friends and it wasn’t even true😭
I just can't get over the sound of kids (well or anyone) chewing on hard plastic or metal (like pencils, forks, pens)- I started bringing mints and lollipops to my class specifically to prevent this!!!, it was just sooooo freaking cringe-worthy (and I get that some folks have an oral fixation but you shouldn't risk chipping a tooth! Dental visits are PRICEY). Also not necessarily applicable to Middle or High School, but the weird food combinations my elementary kiddos would eat always made me gag.
look up chewy necklaces, they are designed for people ho crave oral stimulation, they are non-toxic, many are designed to even be cool, chic, fad, age-appropriate looking, id say give em out to all of the people in your classes, they are a huge help for folks who suck or chew / mouth to relieve stress, regulate sensory needs, to help focus and concentrate and so on.
@@Shannonbarnesdr1 They look pretty affordable (if we're thinking of the same ones)- I'll keep that in mind!
The paper straw is actually bad for your health because of the glue that holds them together.
When I was a Sped Para, I hated dealing with vomit or snot/drool/spit. I could handle blood and change the gnarliest diaper blow outs, but vomit was 🤢.
The last classroom I worked in was next to the door to the outside, and would get so humid that the floor would become slippery, which is a falling hazard. 😬
Was anyone else playing the "Teacher said, Kid said" game? Lol
Yes I work at a daycare and we aren’t supposed to say no to the kids. I’m or sure what we are supposed to say.
I know that in my school most of my teachers can control the temperature in their classrooms
Tell, I couldn't read in second grade, but could spell any word in the dictionary... I get it man. I truly do. Until I gave birth to my son I read at a 9th grade level... after I had him, I placed out of all college English classes. Suddenly, it just. made. sense.
I have a fear of head lice is it true they don't send kids home anymore for it???
I love Gabe 🤣🤣
I can't stand the pucking sound. If i see actual pucking i puck too
My biggest ick it the school toilet paper that feels like sand paper
This is a question for Mrs.Wolly why is it that teacher have to make up these stupid ways to do division or multiple a like Tarzan for example like just teach us regular long division
Unfortunately, teachers don't really have control over that. We get the curriculum and have to teach it. At least in public schools, idk about private or charter.
Ick: teachers who call their kids best friends. That’s just so creepy to hear someone say that to the kids. Build relationships but not BF status.
Non-ick: teaching a subject I really love, and getting to show that passion to the kids.
Clip charts are fine to use, competition between kids is good, embarrassment is good for kids. Just be there to teach the lesson afterwards
No that's not very trauma informed. Adding more trauma via embarrassment to a child is horrible and counter productive to changing their behavior.
i feel like the opposite of an ick could be a yay!
The phobia of vomit is called emetaphobia
gabe and i being the same age is crazy bc axe chocolate came out when i was in middle school 😭😭
Do you guys like parents that are teachers?
Eating boogers
Head lice
16:33 do you mean the arts school ??
I just laughed so hard I shat myself😂
I’m the opposite. I’m mean if I’m hot lol
opposite of icks = yums????
Gimkit is better than blooket!
yay I was the 17th person to like
Not me over here like, my apartment is always 85°+ cus of no A.C and I have to sleep in that 😅😂😂😂💀 and at work, I be sweating so much it stings my eyes and it looks like I just stepped out the shower...I work for a big chain grocery store, they don't give a crap about if we're "comfortable"
This is so goood hands up if you agree
31:37 My social studies teacher once was talking about another teacher (Who happens to be my advisory teacher) and was saying that she was apparently yelling the f word at student in the halls because they were running.
disruptive students returning from the principals office, the PRINCIPAL, loudly and sloppily eating a bag of DORITOS, dropped off with HIGH FIVE, kid comes in, now the whole class wants to be sent to the principals office!!
(student here) an ick I have is how lax schools (spesifically Canadian schools) have gotten, i'm hearing people throw slurs and just hate speech around in the hallways and in the classroom, I, and others have tried to bring up this issue to staff but nothing has been properly done to stop it, we've had talks about it but that doesn't stop anything. we need to hold students acountable for their speech in the classroom, you don't know who it could affect. (like theres ALOT of homophobia, and as a (openly) queer student I try to educate people on why that's wrong but it always goes in one ear and out the other)
Hey y'all, factory workers regularly also have the no-ac issue. Their union leaders (if they even have one) can't/ won't get with the head honchos to update or install something better than a fan. People I know have to work in swampass conditions from May to Nov. and I don't know if it's bc OSHA looks the other way or what. :(
At my school we call the opposite of "trigger" a "sparkle"
Some of the best (primary) teacher sparkles:
Silly dress up days
Sitting and coloring with kids
Getting letters in the mail from past students
When the kids get in to a read aloud
Closing the book at the end and having the kids at such rapt attention that they just sit there for a second like 😮
Accidental phallic artwork
Accidental naughty spelling
Getting to brag to parents about their kids, especially if their kids are "tough"
Getting to learn all about their niche intrests, dinosaurs, eagles, greek mythology
So many more
