Some of these requests show you that parents see teachers as private nannies and direct employees of the parents, rather than professional educators hired to...educate.
You are correct, and their children see that which makes them think the same thing. I used to teach at a private school in Brooklyn & one of the teachers told me that one of her students told her, "My father pays your salary, so you'll do whatever I say".
Parental narcissism and ignorance know no bounds.
I can’t 😂😂😂 and the parents who let their 6-9 year olds climb on furniture
I can’t. Teach them etiquette and MANNERS
Damn
Honey, I am afraid you are going to have a part 4, 5, 6 and so on. Because the stuff we hear, see, and are ask by our kids and parents is mind blowing and limitless.
Lol ikr
Absolutely…when I taught school I had a second grader that ask me if he could bring his mother for career day. Don’t get me wrong, I think mothering is one heck of career but for clarification purposes I ask him why. He told me she jumped out of birthday 🎂! The kids all laughed, me too. Come to find out she did occasionally jump out of cakes! His mother was quite stunning and worked at one of the high end hotels downtown. When they had conventions and other organized events she made extra money jumping out of birthday 🎂! Once she and her husband came in to see me about Todd’s temper problem. I immediately thought about the birthday story but before I could ask them I realized I had danced with the husband at a nightclub several times! Oh, my gosh these two were something, soI I didn’t say anything about the cake and got them out of there before he recognized me!
@@sharoncollins-chiasson9803 oml too funny! HA!!!!! The Apple never falls far 😂
Wow! 🤣 I just want to say thank God for the custodians who were willing to let me in whenever I showed up to get books I forgot in the school! So kind!
There’s a part 4 🤣
And 5
These teachers are not kidding, parents are wild. I have been involved in MULTIPLE child custody cases, threatened with a lawsuit because a kid hurt himself sharpening his pencil, and physically attacked in a parking lot by a mother and grandmother. The principal literally had to run out and rescue me. Parents. Are. Wild.
You are not paid enough. Holy sh**!!!
Wow 😮
And they both would have gotten molly whopped by me!!!
Child custody cases?!?!
This is all true stuff, non teachers. She is not exaggerating.
As a former preschool teacher I believe it
I'm so sorry. I promise that I never did this when my kids were in school. That's when parents were actually parents
what gets me is seeing comment sections in the news any time there's a teachers strike.
i'm always "dafuqqqqqqq. these people take care of your offspring. show some respect!".
@@HerMajesty1my parents occasionally did 😬🤣
As a 74 year old retired teacher, I have heard quite a bit, but these parent requests are beyond my comprehension, well I guess most people's comprehension. You have made my day contain many more laughs with these videos. Thank you.
Unfortunately these are true because parents have only gotten worse.
Some parents are inappropriate.
It is only getting worse.
“Don’t do it, it’s a set up, it’s a set up!” 😂 that was indeed 100% a setup
I am an older mom, so I usually consider everything involved. My daughter (6th grade) took her lunch to school from k5 on, everyday and I would make sure she could open every package on her own or I would wrap it in something different. A few of my statements through the years:
"Your teacher needs to eat so she doesn't need to have to open 25 bottles or bags."
"Do you know if you don't behave in class and your teacher has to stop, you are making her job harder?"
"You don't want to be the reason your teacher gets in trouble with her boss do you? So, it's very important you do your part to help her in the classroom."
Luckily my daughter likes to help so this worked for me!
My cousin is an older mother as well. Same way because she was a teacher before going back to being a SAHM to a very cute little baby boy
@@hannahscott6604 I am SO sure he is quite cute! 😍
aww, that’s so nice. reminds me of how my mom got me to stop refusing standardized test practice (and the tests as a whole) when i was a kid by explaining to me that my teachers were basically graded on how i did and they didn’t actually want to give me the repetitive boring work, they just had to. i tried to do my best on those tests from then to do right by my teachers
If more parents were like you, I think there would be more teachers staying in the teaching profession.
As a former teacher and current aunt, I often tell the niblings about why they don't want to be _that_ student.
I watch these to make sure I’m not THAT parent.
I’m not. Thank goodness.
On behalf of all parents - I’m so sorry, Teachers 🙏🏼💖
Thank you for not being that one parent!
You’re probably that appreciative parent who apologizes for things they don’t have to. You’re the bright spot in our days. 🥰❤️
Thank you!
You’re not trust. If you ever ask this question you’re not
I needed this today. Real quick as a student, I now have a newfound respect for teachers.
The second grade kid who wouldn’t get the brother or sister
😂😂😂
I have a parent at my school who complains every single day. She threatens to remove her child from our school and storms off basically once a week. Yet, she always comes back.
"My child comes home EVERY OTHER DAY with a scratch, bruise, or bloody knee!! Are you guys neglecting my child? Does there need to be MORE teachers for each room, because clearly you guys are not watching them? I don't understand why this abuse keeps happening to my child!"
About a 3 year old who trips and falls on the playground because mom refuses to put him in running shoes.
I’m not saying you should I would probably just buy the shoes so she stops. But understandable, she is going to find a different way to complain
OML. Yep at the daycare I used to work at we had some parents bring the kids in Princess dresses and sometimes they’d expect the dresses to stay neat and tidy
@@hannahscott6604 My favorite! Too many parents buying their children name-brand clothes and sending them to preschool, too. As if the kids sit at desks all day and do math equations instead of exploring their world. Yes, ma'am. Your child wanted to see what happens when you mix red and blue paint together. I'm sorry he got paint on his brand new Jordans. This is why we use washable art supplies.
Goodness!
OMG 😂 when I was kid I tripped over my own two feet I was clumsy, my mother never complained to the school
These self-proclaimed "mama and papa bears" need to get some actual parenting classes. YES, it is normal for a young child to fall and get bruises. My favorites are the ones who get upset when their child plays in the dirt or sand and complain that their child is "ruining" their new clothes. TELL ME WHY you're sending your 3 year old to school in $70 Jordans and an Adidas track suit. They come to preschool to play, not make a fashion statement.
We had a child that was sent 6 hard boiled eggs, 2 sandwiches, biscuits and fruit for lunch and the mother wanted us to make sure he ate it all. He was 4.
🤣😂😅😂🤣🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Oml. I too have dealt with this type of thing
That’s child abuse
Funniest thing I've read yet!
😆 lol
I was a substitute teacher for one semester. Let's just say teaching was not for me, I'm an engineer now lmao
Teachers gotta have supreme patience to deal with all that crap every day.
My husband tried this after he received his Marine Biology degree. Having been a USN Chief (retired) Hospital Corpsman), he was used to ‘being large, & in charge’ (means .... no nonsense from lower rank/young underlings). Working as a high school substitute, after a month....... he came home and said: “I decided not to continue. For their (students) safety and my sanity!!!’.
Lollll
My father was a WWII Marine Corp Sargent and after he retired from driving a truck he decided to be a substitute bus driver for the public schools…lol. Listen, he had no problem raising us being that Marine! But add forty years and kids then and he drove three days and he told my mother there was no amount of money that would keep him there…lol. Now he would gladly have given the job a shot but you guys know discipline isn’t what what it used to be!!! He couldn’t believe the way those kids acted but worse than that were the policies about correcting the kids! You DON’T! He changed his tune about my sister’s high school teaching job but more surprising was his disbelief about the shocking behavior of the younger kids! But most of all was the attitude of the parents then! He felt it was. sad day for future generation and this was in 1982!
These are too funny! The lunch requests for me get stranger by the year. Each request, I want to ask, “Would you like me to play classical violin to ease your child’s digestion on my lunch duty?”
Honey, you are just hilarious! I am a retired educator. I was a classroom teacher, computer lab teacher, and finished up as a librarian. If anyone thinks you are exaggerating, I am here to back you up. I guarantee you don’t have to make anything up. You just need to decide which ridiculous requests to post. Bless you!
I had a mother who said nothing in the 9th grade English curriculum was appropriate for her child. She said I should design the entire school year around the only book she could think of as appropriate: The Old Man and the Sea. (P.S. My boss said I had to do it - design an entirely separate curriculum for one child based on one book I would rather stab myself in the eyeball than ever read again.)
Said you had to do it?!?!?!
I absolutely believe this. I used to teach elementary school reading groups. My principal told me I wasn't allowed to have my group read the book "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" because the kids in the story were "mean and pulled pranks." 🙄 I left that job the next year. 😐
I wish I could say I hadn’t experienced this kind of “bend over backwards for the parent” insanity from administration, but it was endless! Remember, they are administrators because they couldn’t handle the classroom!
@@blugreen123 I hope your next job was much better. What a ridiculously ignorant request from a principal. I love that book!
@@im2cuteferu I was saved by the mother's decision to switch her kids to a premade distance program..one that ALSO used Romeo and Juliet and the Odyssey, so ~~~
1:15 That reminds me of my retail days at Toys R Us. Over the years, I had maybe a dozen parents request that I tell the child that the toy they wanted couldn't be sold. Yeah...you let them carry it all over the store, and you want me to have that conversation? Nope. Didn't do it. You have to be a parent, not a friend. Don't get other people to do stuff for you so you can avoid your child being mad at you.
What!? These lazy ass parents omg. They want to push their own responsibilities on a stranger behind a counter making minimum wage (assuming since retail). 🤬 good for you not doing it.
Young lady your commentary & facial expressions are hysterical 🤣. If you are no longer teaching you should seriously consider giving stand-up comedy a try!! 😉 🤗
I'm so glad I taught adults!
And I thought the email I got one year on the first day of school wanting to know why I hadn’t entered any grades yet was bad.
god, those parents are the worst thing about online report cards. i’ve never taught, i’m barely old enough to have a degree, but i remember the kids of those parents being so embarrassed that their teachers were being spammed by these grade request emails before we’d even had any assignments. like ma’am if your 11 year old son is explaining to you the very real reasons why your request is ridiculous and impossible, maybe re-evaluate your reactions to some things
I have seen too many episodes of “Stalked: someone’s watching” to give a parent my address 😂😂
i feel like some of these parents would make the stalkers from that show nervous lmao
My favorite this year so far- We use Chromebooks at my school. I have a student who constantly is playing video games during class. When I reached out to her about this, her response was that I should stay behind him at all times.
Apparently the 20 plus other kids in the class do not need supervision!
It happens in high school as well. I told my peers that they should not be playing games but of course, they ignored me because as a fellow student I had zero authority over them. (I should stress that it was high school in the Australian Education system.)
I teach typing, I read this somewhere and use it, I have my students turn their desks around and face the back wall! So I can always see.
@@Anonymous09981 That’s a good idea.
@@MK8MasterJunjie I know there are a lot of districts in the US that use programs where we can see what the kids are doing on their computers. We can block websites and close out their tabs. We don't use chrome books a lot in my class, but it's always fun to see their stunned faces when they realize I know they are doing something inappropriate.
@@EmmaAdams87 I mean my high school did block certain websites but they couldn't actually tell what sites we were on. By the way, do you watch my content?
I love when parents send their kids late and with no breakfast but go back home to eat. Crazy. Lol
At my school, we really did reprint a yearbook when a parent complained that her daughter was not in it. I am not sure how it went down, but apparently her daughter was there on picture day and somehow got left out, and she was so persistent that they made a yearbook just for her.
A parent bugged my head teacher (I'm a para) for two solid months because her kid's school pictures got lost in the mail. She finally got them two weeks ago. 🙄
I mean, I don't see why the parent should be okay with her vhild being excluded through no fault of theirs. The ones in the video are outrageous but I don't think the yearbook one is the same.
Oh my Lord! You reprinted a yearbook! Jesus… how self important! When students were absent or whatever and didn’t get in the yearbook for years it was sad BUT it happened! Lord have mercy.
that’s so expensive and excessive… some girl got left out of one of my middle school yearbooks and her friends just kinda took it upon themselves to print out her school photo to scale with all the other ones and walked around with glue sticks to give everyone in our grade one to glue in. i’m not sure the girl even asked for any of that, her friends were just nice kids who wanted their friend included and for some reason thought it would be incredibly unrealistic to have the entire yearbook reprinted just for a 1 x 1.5 inch photo of jill’s school picture day look in seventh grade
@@sidoniegabrielle269why didn’t the school offer to give her free yearbooks for that year and future?
Love your expressive delivery! There’s certainly some wacka-doodle parents out there, though unfortunately they’re not FAR enough out there, but at a school where we teach......🤪
Love her! “Issa setup!!!! Issa setup!!!” She’s fantastic 😂🤪🤪😎😎
Brilliant.
In my country, we have boarding schools. When I was a teacher in one of them, the parents of a student asked the school to send their child for her monthly medical treatment appointment at a hospital NEAR their home (but about 2 1/2 hours away from our school) as they were busy.
To do so, a teacher had to be relieved of her duty that day of teaching other students to take their kid for her appointment🤦🏻♀️ by bus (my friend couldn't drive).
Just to make it clear, it's not a requirement to send your child to a boarding school here- it's a choice.
These parents are so ridiculous. I love your reactions to these requests. I literally wheeze from laughter. Thanks for bringing me joy🤣😁
Hello Bored Teachers, can we have more of these videos? Please give this lady ALL OF THE MONIES to make more videos. Please and thank you. Also, ma'am- you are a delight :)
She has her own channel :)
Part 4 PLEASE
Sad to say I think she will have part 4 before Christmas exams ....
@@k.c1126 Perhaps sooner, after parent-teacher conferences...
i had many friends who were teachers, they mostly all quit due to parents and the utter ridiculous demands and the behavior of said parents. It's no longer the case of a few bad parents but 1 or 2 good parents and the rest are entittled
I also had parent whose son did nothing in class each day but disrupt the class by making rude comments to me & trying to make the other kids laugh. He did no class work, no homework, and failed all his tests & quizzes. His mom called me at work to ask, "I know my son is a handful, but can't you just *give him* a passing grade so he won't get left back?"
When I said "I don't *give* grades to my students; they *earn* their grades" she got mad & hung up the phone. For the rest of the school year whenever I saw her around campus she'd give me dirty looks & roll her eyes at me. #StayMad 😂
Sometimes I think just a bit more diplomacy on the teachers part would go a long ways …
@Susan Cook right.... so just pass them all right? Just because they dont do anything and they are disruptive... 🤣🤣🤣
I love it! You are great and after working in schools for 30 years, I believe all of those stories! lol! I would love to see you and Devin Siebold do a video together. Hilarious.
They're both great!
Crazy. Also, not sure why but you look extra cute today
I thank you for providing humor in this crazy time. Notice I didn’t use the phrase, “unpredicted time”, that every school district has used to death!
Teachers always do their best for each child. If you think you can do better, step into a classroom for just one hour and then make a statement. It’s the hardest job you will ever do.
I pray for all teachers!
Love you all still fighting the fight,
A 29 year veteran in education
hope you’re still doing well or even enjoying the start of your summer in these unprecedented, unpredictable, unique times. man, i never thought i’d have such disdain for a word like “unprecedented”. thank you for teaching and continuing to teach. as a young adult who struggled a lot with school when i was younger and got through it with the help of a lot of wonderful teachers, i always want to thank teachers for their service 💕
I didn't know as teachers we got our MD too! I must have missed this in my graduation!
Right?! and our psychology degree
and an engineering degree
and a mailman
I'm starting my student teaching next semester. You guys are making me nervous.... AAAHHHH
You will have fun
Today I sent out the link to my Google calendar for my parents to schedule virtual conferences with me. They are Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (our work days are Sunday to Thursday in the country that I'm currently in) Thank God I make a habit of checking the calendar meets before I confirm them because this parent had not chosen one of these slots that were indicated for parent-teacher conference. No no, she is trying to schedule a parent teacher conference with me at 6:30 on Friday night. I'm like ma'am, I plan on spending most of my Friday not sober, not trying to act professional in front of you while trying to explain to you how much help your son needs.
lol once we had yearbooks misprinted in my school and one girl’s picture was over two names. rather than have her mother request that the entire yearbooks be reprinted, the girl’s friends printed and cut out little versions of her school photo and walked around w glue sticks handing them out to everyone in our grade so that the girl would have her picture in the yearbook like everyone else. i never liked that girl much but i glued her picture in because i thought it was really sweet of her friends to make that effort. pretty sure the only questions they asked the teachers at the time were “can we use the library printer for this” and “is homeroom an okay time to hand the pictures out to everyone”
Parents: Teachers can’t medically treat your kids!
I adore you! You just put a big ol' smile on this burned out and jaded teacher's face. Now that's sayin' somethin'!
I once picked up my 14 year old student and her mom from her monthly prenatal appointment.
The child’s appointment. Not the mum’s. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, the paperclipectomy was a real request! Happened in 1996!
Hey that’s when I was born! Lol
@@hannahscott6604 Make me feel ancient? I was 42.
@@mariekatherine5238 lol oops
Your videos and comedic commentary are 👌 as a former teacher I just reminisce about what I miss lol 😆 #Godblessteachers
Yeah I would ignore the call at 4am lol
You are phenomenal! I love how you totally understand what we as teachers go through each and every day!
Why can’t these people’s kids do anything for themselves?! Lol
You are hilarious, every word is true, even here in Australia
When I was in 5th grade, every Tuesday, we brought home our already completed and graded assignments from the prior week in a blue folder, and our parents had to sign the first page. These were called "Signed Papers" and it was a good way to keep the parents abreast about the kinds of assignments that, we, the students, are doing in class
Oh girl! I’m dying over here! I haven’t taught in years but it takes me back!
The paper clip and yearbook hahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her laugh is the best
My husband teaches Yearbook. He gets that parent request EVERY YEAR.
I just love the energy you bring to these videos!!
In short teachers are ;
Nurses , councilors, divers , and go too girl
You nailed it along with many more categories too!
Wow, what are the directions to your house? I would’ve gave her some Dwight Schrute directions!
“Drive down the road until you smell the slaughter house…if you hear the bee hive, you went too far!”
😜🤪😜
😂😂😂
I love the stories and your responses to each of them!! Please do more.
You have to be having fun with this series. It is absolutely ridiculous.. I am 😂😂😂
I teach high school. A parent asked me to email him resources for his son every day in the topics we covered in class...and resources to find the correct answers for each individual question he misses in assignments...and send home books from the library for both of them to read based on both topics covered in class and missed questions on assignments...and email the answer key to assignments, quizzes, and tests beforehand so his son knew what to study...and allow him to come in every day during my planning period for one-on-one tutoring...and to send him progress reports for EVERY CLASS...and provide a report of how each assignment affected his grade...and hold a PTC anytime the kid fails an assignment. The guy wound up calling the superintendent saying that I was not providing adequate support for his student when I said that I cannot do all of that, offered a semi-weekly phone call, and emailed a copy of the notes and a website where they can search the topics covered in class.
Girl! You look FABULOUS! Love your makeup in this one!
The requests are crazy and your responses are priceless!
I really, really like this channel. I love her facial response, as well as her own response. Sometimes I just can't stop laughing. 😆😆🤣🤣😂😂
I can't...just can't. AND your makeup is beautiful!!
I love your videos! 😂 Your energy and expressions always lighten my mood and crack me up!
Lint roll her son 🤣💀. I can’t. I just can’t.
Here’s a request! I’d like all parents, guardians or others making these ridiculous requests to play the quiet game…READY…GO!
The AUDACITY!! all of them.
oh Oh MY GOd! Oh my God! I can't help laughing out loud. 🤣🤣😂😂
These requests are hysterical!! I sincerely hope the teachers did NOT comply with such requests lol !
I love these videos so much!💕
Teacher here. You will never run out of material for this, sadly
I just discovered this channel and y'all just posted love it
Hello from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I would like to thank you for your honesty and integrity
No S .... fine sensitivity.
So many people Teaching
In a dimension no longer important seen.
Heads are all down scrolling ,
not hearing outside of the Dome of information.
LOVE watching you, Bri!!!
I love this lady so much!

Your reactions genuinely make me laugh out loud 👏😅
honest teacher vibes always makes me laugh!! lol
Haha I love these
Your reactions are priceless!
Loving you from Canada. My-oh-my how you make me laugh. Seems we share some of the same parents 🤪🤣
Chiiile my response: Please come and get your kids cause what we NOT GONE DO...😂😂
These requests are so crazy 🤣
If that child is allergic to dog hair they need to provide evidence of that to the school via an allergy test and a doctors note
And still it isn’t the teacher’s job to lint roll a kid. It’s the parents’ job. My kid is allergic to cats and we just wait until he gets home and have him change his clothes and take a Benadryl.
@@pnwflipper2089 if he’s allergic to the smell then yes, the class does need to be lint rolled. that can be a severe allergy (I was going to nanny for a baby but the entire family was allergic to cat smell, so I was booted the second day. Even after rolling my clothes)
@@pnwflipper2089 but how does your kid get any schoolwork done all day?? With continuous sneezing…
@@hannahscott6604 I am a teacher. Believe me-- it is not in the bounds of my duties to lint roll every kid in the room. If a student has a pet dander allergy he or she needs to take Claritin etc. If there is a kid who comes to school with pet hair all over them, I can seat that kid on the other side of the room. As for my son, there are lots of other kids in the class with cat dander on them I'm sure, but as long as he doesn't touch their clothes or backpacks or sit right next to them, he is fine. And if he does come home a little sneezy, we can always just change his clothes and give him a benadryl.
These videos make me feel like the best parent EVER!!!! I’m so sorry you have to deal with BS like this! It makes me worried for the human race. These parents need to have their parent cards revoked!!!!
The one about answering the phone at 4am, girl I have learned my lesson. I refuse to respond to parent messages between the hours of 8pm-8am, unless it is something urgent about something happening the next day. Answering parents around the clock is gonna make any teacher burnt out real quick. The nerve of parents...why on God's green earth would they think it's okay to call a teacher at 4am? Ridiculous.
Do the parents ever get mad at you and give you attitude for that?? I totally agree about not answering them during off hours.
@@stereotypea123 Actually, no, I have not had parents get mad or give me attitude about it. Actually, at my current job, the principal gives me attitude when I do not respond to her emails on Sundays. After I reply to them the other 6 days a week....she's such a workaholic, it's scary.
😳😵💫😳 The evidence of human devolution just keeps mounting. 🤦♀
Lint roll all the students? I’m dying!
BAHAHAHAHAA
Next we gon shave all the students 😂
love your shirt, hey best something. the font and hearts are great.
Thanks for making me laugh! 😀
Is this a joke? Seriously are parents really asking teachers to do this stuff?!?!? But they want these same parents to be able to examine curriculum and tell teachers what to teach! OMG!!!! Teachers are doing God's work. Bless you all!
Oh, lawd. A teacher friend had a parent ask her to please brush and RE-BRAID her little princess's hair after every recess (there are like 3 or 4 in a day) because she was looking a little raggedy by the end of the day. I thought that was pretty extra, but these requests actually make that seem reasonable. WOW.
that’s wild.
We occasionally do the children’s hair but not that much
Nah, that’s just as unreasonable a request to me. I’m a teacher. Usually there’s no time for stuff like that because the daily schedule is tight.
Your makeup looks gorgeous!
I had a coworker who had a parent ask her to explain menstruation and how to use a pad. She sent the student to the nurse with said pad.
That’s just plain sad!! Why are parents seemingly so uncomfortable about basics like that?!?!??? Well, at least she tried to get someone knowledgeable to do the teaching. When I was a student nurse doing my rotation in L&D, a very young teen had been told (by her own mother) that a girl gets pregnant when I guy kisses her on the lips (she had been allowed to go on dates at age 13)!!!
These are just too funny, and I'm not even a teacher! lol
Omg how am I just seeing your channel. Great stories. New subbie🌻
Love that music at the end!
Exactly why I could never be a teacher. My sister is, GOD BLESS HER!!
Just getting better!
oh girl you are hilarious!
I call it "outsourcing parenting"
