This was hilarious and I learned some new ones! Don't forget the "frequent flyers", the ones who always need to go see the nurse. 😀
We used to call roadrunners flight risks.
Or Escape Artists.
I’ve used the term “interior decorator” for a best friend who has a tendency to rearrange furniture (knock over chairs, throw books, etc.). I haven’t needed to use the term in a while though.
This! This I have to use!! Interior Decorator!! That is genius!! And you could use it as a verb. “Just have a little interior decorating going on. We’re going to visit the learning commons for a few minutes.” LOVE. IT.
🤣
I love "Apple Tree Situation"! As a psychologist, I see this A LOT!!!
I spit my coffee out with “our little special friend “!!!! That is universal!!!😂🤣
Oh yes, every teacher uses that one!
"Apple tree situation!"
Yep - I'm gonna use that further afield 😂🍎🌳
At the high school where my mom taught French, the German teacher headed up a club for teachers called the "safety committee" which was where teachers would get together for coffee or drinks and gripe about work 😂
That’s a good one! Safety Committee. Nice!
Great idea 😊
On point! Might grab the “book club meeting “- we call it our “ice cube meeting”🤣
We have "Choir Practice"! Lol
I’ve cube meeting… stamping my foot three times!!!
Going to “the library.”
We have a “porch meeting”!
Yep. It's Teacherese. There may be some district specific dialects, but the overall vocabulary is immediately recognizable. :) Here's to book clubs with unlimited teacher juice.
At my school we refer to “going to the library” after school - especially when you have some really “overdue books “ to return!
You should quit your job & do stand up girl! You'd make a WHOLE lot more $$$. (But we need a lot more teachers like you in the world 🌎 Thanks for all that you do! I pray that you hold on to your sense of humor...AND your sanity!!!)
Yes! She is hilarious 😂
I taught with a school full of teachers like her! It was a scream!
Love her! I have been homeschooling, but considering public for next year and wondering where we need to move to so you can be my kids teacher! 😆😘
@sharon c-c your students were/are blessed to have y'all!
That's the best learning environment.
You just did. I believe she quit her job recently because she had enough.
One of my administrators calls the "apple tree situation" McIntosh Syndrome
Teaching - one of the many “essential services” where you need a laugh, or you’ll start bawling!
Love your delivery, but even more? This makes me LOVE that after 39 years of teaching I’m retired! All the very best to all education staff still working their hearts out.
You enjoy your retirement. You deserve it.
@@raleemay thank you! I really appreciate your comment.
If I could work with people like her, I wouldn’t hesitate to enter the teaching profession😀
Best friend, this video was hilarious. Who knew there so many code names for each situation? Just loved this.
Special friends, runners, we’ve got lots of those. And the “delivery” given to the student who needs a break… definitely done that!! We call our “book club” Choir Practice. Had to let the newbies know there was NO actual singing required to come to choir practice! Open to all staff, teachers, EAs, ECEs, custodians, secretaries, even the principal if he wants. Like a very impromptu staff party! Fun!
I got sure have been using "not my circus" for more than just other people's wild classes. I also use it with students when they're asking me about events happening in the school that we as teachers have been given inadequate information about. For example "Ms. K, when are we going to book fair next week?" "Sorry, I don't know yet. It's not my circus."
I decided that was better than telling students I'm not paid enough to know.
"Above my pay grade" comes out a lot.
Seriously, I've actually used some of these with my teacher friends! 😂
“Not my monkeys, not my circus”!!!!!!!! I CANNOT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my students the other day just called me teacher, I asked why and she said she figured I was getting tired of my name being called all day!!!
I love when I become “Mrs.Um?” They can’t remember my name so Mrs. Um is said over and over🤦🏻♀️I told my 8th graders that my husband is going to think I’m cheating on him if they keep it up😬
🤣
Many of my students are the same way. I’ve told them that they can call me several different names since many of them cannot pronounce my last name for the life of them (just like money of my teachers could not when I was a child!!)… telling them they can call me what everything like as long as they are respectful of those options seems to has helped!!
Exactly! I can learn all 130 of their names in about a week but they can't remember 8 teacher names 🤷🏼♀️
“Special friend” might be my favourite one!!
So funny!! I began using the "important note" back in 1983!!! That really was before computers! I know, you weren't born yet.
My mom was a Kindergarten teacher for 30 years and I substituted all grades for several years, and I have to tell you, you are 💯% on point about everything!
As a matter of fact, I decided NOT to get my teaching degree after being a substitute teacher!
Substituting showed me I was not cut out to be a teacher and that my not becoming a teacher was probably the best for everybody involved!
I have absolutely no regrets! I would have lost my mind the first week of school!!🤪😳😱
I would get calls from parents, after I moved on to another grade.
After a day or two of substituting, parents would act like I could do something about what was happening with their child in the teachers class.
It was a small town, and most of the parents I dealt with were people I had known all my life, which for some teachers makes it worse.😳😱
I seriously don’t know why more teachers don’t lose their minds.
One teacher I subbed for literally had a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized.😢
I will say this, teachers are the most underpaid people in any job requiring a 4 year college degree.
That’s a fact Jack.
Teachers needs to be paid wayyyyyyyyy more for what they paid.
With all the things they have to deal with on a daily basis, they should get hazard pay!☄️💥🔥💵💰
Teachers will always have me as an advocate!
Thank you for all you do to make this world better educated.
Your nomination for Sainthood is forthcoming!❤️🙂😉
Combat pay, free counseling, BTW in MI, Teachers in MI have a 5 year degree. The 5th year you pay the University to teach for a whole year. No pay to you! I had PTSD by retirement, even though I loved my job. The kids were, getting so difficult , some parents were awful and Admin kept adding on more and more BS. This is not to mention that my classroom, (art) seemed to always be the first room from the entrance making me the first that an active shooter would get to!
"I'm about to change my name and move to another country!" I laughed to hard at this one!
Lmaoo the “friend” thing is so true! I have, on many occasions, talked to my principal w kids around and told him that “our friend is at it again today”.
Fortunately, I've heard some of these. One of our staff meetings was an email with the title SHBAE. I've also had a fellow teacher admit that he was continually invited to book club as a 1 year temp at a school and he always politely declined. It wasn't until April that someone filled him in that it was drinks. He was definitely bummed that he wasn't informed earlier. Great stuff!
"Best friend." I call them special blessings. 🤣
My “little pumpkin…”
You are amazing! Thanks for the laugh from a tired teacher
I literally use “special friend” all the time 😂
Sis, we ALL do, lol!
“Important note” we send the envelope with the word “Ping” and the important note comes back at me with the answer “pong” so we play ping pong lmao :o)
The 10 paper clips is my favorite. “I need 10 minutes away from him before I lose my job”.
"Book club". :D At my last job we called that place "the post office" because the bar was right next to the post office.
“I’m done with it”
I felt that!!
We had a Click Clack Admin last year; her high heels announced her before you ever saw her.
Best friend, I hope you are making all the money from these videos because they make me happy and you deserve a raise.
I've worked Elementary age child care for 5 years, it's taken that long to gain the classroom management skills to feel ready to complete a Education program and get licensure to become a classroom teacher. I've learned the lingo and how to handle certain situations...of course the students will always surprise you with something new up their sleeve
Omg I hate to say it but 99% I understood right away...yes I am a teacher too. 👊
My sisters and brothers in arms, keep going. This year of covid is worse than 2020 covid and 2021 school year covid. I didn't think it could be worse, but it is sadly.
Some of these I definitely use 😂 and the others I never had a name for… I do now! 💕
Me, too but since I’ve retired I am making gift bags for incoming student teachers at my local school… lol.
@@sharoncollins-chiasson9803 aren’t you just the sweetest!! How thoughtful! And thank you for your teaching service 🙏💕
My service, lol !!!! Geez, I use that with military veterans but hey, it works at times. Listen, my father was a WWII Marine Sargent in the South Pacific. We were raised in baby Marine Corp boot camp. My oldest sister and I had except discipline and the husbands of other teachers used to ask me if I had been in the military…lol!
Wacka moles when you get that one kid to sit down and get to work and then the next one jumps up and you gotta take care of him too. I also don't have them calling my name - it's Miss! Miss! Miss!
Yes!!! Whacking moles (not literally!!) all the time.
I get the Miss, Miss, Miss also. I am male........??????? Why???
I know it’s not exactly the same but i do work at a daycare in the preschool class room. And ur videos crack me up cause i have experienced all those situations at least once. And thought i was the only one. Lol😂
Ur videos crack me up. And help me make lite of some crazy situations at work. Keep up the good work girl.
Keep that teacher juice a coming.
I'm a teacher and may have to use some of these. AWESOME video.
Thank you for the laughs!! I had SUSI today,,, students using sexual innuendos ... Yeah I teach high school and these were my freshman!
I've had SUSI moments with elementary kids.
Best friend… cracks me up. Love the lingo!
At my school we also send kids to look for the “long stand” … and when a kid asks you if you have the long stand you make them wait at least 5 min before sending them off the the next teacher to ask (code for ‘keep this kid out of my room’)
Don't forget to mention our little "artist" friends that make masterpieces in the bathroom.
I have used most of these, but you put such a humorous spin on them. The USO is new to me. I taught 33 years (until my cardiac arrest???!!!???) Cause and effect lesson there. I think God was telling me, "This technology is getting ahead of you, Becky, time to go." You are my favorite, and I hope you still teach. The kids need your humor. Thank you!
If this is the kind of stuff you teachers have to go through---you all need a yearly four week, all-expense paid vacation to the Bahama's--food, hotel, alcohol and entertainment included.
The apple tree situation!!! Lol!
These were great!
We call students that run off elopers. I loved the let me get back to you on that! So true.
I have heard several of these used by other teachers, though I do not use them myself. However, I am a BIG fan of "CTJ"s. Being a middle school teacher, it is a REQUIREMENT. That one I use at least once a month.
Pretty sure my 7th grade team and I will start using "book club" once a month on Friday paydays....
We get paid the first of each month so “First Friday” is our monthly happy hour - of course this year, we had some months where we also did the “First Friday” of the week! It’s been that kind of year…
Too funny--reminds me of when I started teaching--6th grade! So glad that I graduated to high school. Loved the "Teacher Juice".
Certainly use “special friend” on a frequent basis.
Love this lady. I would be *HONORED* if my child had her as a teacher back in the day.
She’s my favorite!!! Hilarious, great delivery!
I love this channel. My kids are long out of school, but I get the biggest kick out of your videos.
ShBAE!!! that one hits home as health care professional too!
This woman is hilarious. Love her videos.
If you know, you know. I'm sharing this!
Cannot believe that these sayings are true everywhere. Most of these can be found in the district I work.
Love this video! In our school, when one of our smoker colleagues needed a lighter for their smoke break, they would send a child to another smoker's classroom for the lighter that all the teachers used for "lighting the children's birthday cakes"!
Hilarious! I’m going to have to steal a few of these codes 😁😁😁
"Should've been an email" and "company" for management higher than usually onsite being onsite are pretty much universal
growing up, they would use 'going to the pool' as the code about happy hour on fridays which always confused me because my mom was a teacher and never brought her bathing suit.
"Choir Practice" is my favorite. ;)
...."Change my name and move to another country"....I hollered!!
Hahaha! 😅 I am laughing out loud by myself. No more fake LOL You're the best!
All of the things, facts and all truth
Yeah… you don’t actually want to be one of our “favourite” students.
I had a principal who would announce "The eagle has landed." on pay days. He also would announce the staff was meeting for "diet pepsi" after school (especially after the eagle had landed) which meant we were meeting somewhere for happy hour. Best principal ever!
Super true!! Love ur videos
Oh my. We may not use these direct "code names" for where I work, but as a preschool TA, this is TOTALLY relatable!
as someone who made "deliveries" for teachers all throughout elementary school, i apologize
You are special. Love the lingo. We didn't have so many special words. I did nicname the President. He was special and I loved him. More when it was time to go.
Omg I love your videos. And I always like your hair and head bands
This is ALL THE LINGO of Washington teachers for sure!!!
I need laughing. More videos like this. U had me on floor.
Every day I remind myself "not my monkeys, not my circus"
That's me every cold, wet morning as I lie in bed, listening to the elem. students at morning recess three blocks away. I giggle, pull the covers up, and think about those monkeys. Yep, retired. No more long drives cross-county in the dark at the crack of dawn and back again at night. Bliss.
Girrrll, you had me laughin! You is good! Lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m saving and sending this to my peeps
My dad was a "Jingle Jangle admin," but it was because he would walk down the hallways jingling the change in his pocket. I have NO idea why. Lol!
This is so hilarious you should do a part two!!
Lol learned some new ones I’m so going to use
One year we called Admin Clickety Clack for their high heels on the tile.
As a former teacher at multiple parochial schools, we had PLENTY of CTJs in every sense of the idea lol. And everywhere I have taught throughout my career, there have always been multiple "special friends" and an abundance of "apple tree situations". Never heard the "go cockroach" expression though; that's a good one! Mainly because most admin. are nothing but ugly cockroaches themselves!
Lol I need a “snackpack” = Blunt 🤣😂🤣
So true!
I laughed so hard at this because we use most of those at my school! Best friend, I love these videos.
Hilarious!!! I've learned a lot of new code words.
I think my favorite is apple tree. I suppose in different fields we'd have to call it a different name. I was a CSR for a long period of times. We have lots of spouses and even parents calling for customers over 18. I wonder what kind of tree we could use for that? My mother and aunt were teachers that's why I'm so interested in the education field.
With kids being back in school, it seems like there's been an increase in roadrunners.
My faves: Search Al Gore's Internet; Not my monkeys, not my circus; Roadrunner (I have one of those); The tide is rising; Jingle Jangle admin.🤣🤣🤣🤣
We called our "Book Club" Choir Practice. We sang.....alot.
The only ones I have heard are special friend, code yellow and code brown. (Or an accident)
Ok I need to start using these instead of saying it all out loud. Cause I say it all out loud.
As for the important note, at my old school several of us had a folder system. We literally bought purple (SOS-20 mins), blue (imma get fired-10), and green (I just need him to stop being the main character for five minutes).
Teacher juice😂😂😂I call mine relaxing juice
That was so right on!!
Our school used to have "choir practice" on random Fridays.
Special friend got me!
