I’m not even a teacher at all, yet I find these videos very entertaining and keep watching them in my spare time. Thanks for sharing your stories and all the work that goes into making these vids. 👍🏾

Same!
Same!
Same I'm a student and I feel for these teachers

The whole "misunderstanding" thing, I've got a good story: 2nd grade, my teacher friend said "if you guys put a little more effort into your homework it will really help you!" on the way out the door. The next day a girl handed in her eraser ridden homework in tears and said "my mom wont let write that word." The student 100% went home and put in a little more F-word, as opposed to "effort" and the mom freaked and made her erase it (obviously). Fortunately the mom calmly called and asked for clarification. Lol
LOL! That is an awesome story!
🤣🤣
Omg lol 😭😭😭
I’m a custodian in a big school district. This helps me understand the teachers side of things. I like this podcast a lot.
Away and clean up some sick janitor boy
@@boosie5501 Shut up.
You are awesome and very needed.
We appreciate you!
Thank you for all you do!
As their regular podcast listener I noticed they sometimes repeat same stories but I’m not complaining. It’s always interesting hahaha
But some haven’t heard some stories. So it is new to them
But I think they have repeated stories to eachother , because rebecca told a story and bri has heard it maybe twice but her reaction always make it like its the first time she’s hearing the story
Like the one where the older male teacher didnt let the girl go to her car
@@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage yes I totally understand that there are new listeners so the stories are new to them. Always love Bri reactions every time haha
You know that a common teaching technique is to repeat information. It helps the learner (pod listener) remember it.
Well i guess thats how you know they arent making random stories
So that’s why Mrs Rodger said she think she was repeating a story? I was so lost when she said that cause I’m just starting to watching all that
Can we get one just about tips and tricks for college kids trying to become teachers? Like observation time, student teaching, and for our interviews (like questions to ask admin) and for our first year teaching.
Yesssss please
Good idea for a video. Also good to talk to veteran teachers. I have taught for 14 years.
They have done one of those.
You still wanna be a teacher after watching these podcast episodes?
@@aspenisthebest yeah. I'm not going into debt over nothing. I don't care how much I'm getting paid. I want to teach and enrich kids lives. Help guide the next generation into being better individuals to work towards a better tomorrow.
Okay it’s Father’s Day so I have to brag on my dad. A big reason I love these podcasts so much is because my dad is a school teacher and y’all just remind me of him and his stories and sometimes I get ideas to talk with him about from here. He taught middle school math for over 40 years and is probably the sweetest most patient man I know. When he did loose patience he would feel bad about it for weeks afterwards. He used to be at his school 6am to 6pm everyday. He taught 2 nd grade Sunday school for years as well, but it basically became reading lessons for all the kids I put church who reached 2 nd grade and we’re still struggling. When I reached middle school he pulled me out and wanted me to homeschool (because the schools in our area were pretty bad) so I could have a more free and personalized education. He taught me history and math all the way through high-school. Which often meant he had to study my lessons for hours ahead of time I order to teach me. I got spoiled for teachers because he was the best at explaining things slightly differently each time until I understood (math is not for me.)
By his retirement at age 70 he has taught nearly every person in our small town at some point. Now he still tutors math and reading for free to kids at our church who need the help. Even setting up his own little zoom class room during Covid.
After watching him so many years I honestly believe teachers are heros
No one cares.
Your dad sounds like he was a wonderful person and teacher! I’m so sorry for your loss. I think anyone who loves teaching that much is indeed a hero.
My Uncle passed away earlier this year and he taught for 30 years in Special Education. He had students from his early years come to his service. I was really impressed by how many people showed up on a Monday in the middle of the day. He even had “grandkids” from students that he got pictures of.
@@XxXPunkXxXRockerXxX kindness is free and you should try it.
@@XxXPunkXxXRockerXxX maybe YOU don’t care! Don’t speak for the world
@@MxShadow8 Too late. No one cares.
Unfortunately, when crap happened at school that was unfair (especially to my sister) my parents usually brushed it off. My sister is a sensitive person, and my parents want to see the best in people, and my sister would shut down if she thought people didn't believe her.
She had a teacher who would ignore her medical needs, never remembered her name, made fun of her, and brought up her health issues in front of the entire class.
He was a two faced no good liar, and while I have great respect for many teachers, and love many of them greatly, I don't respect him at all.
That said, all the points made in the video are valid.
I agree with Bri on the importance of parents & teachers getting to know each other, & communicating. I was a teacher’s aid in an SDC class & one day two kids were at the top of the climbing equipment fighting. I had to go up and physically pull them apart to stop the fight. When it was over, I turned around to climb down the way I’d gone up but I didn’t know that a little boy from the other SDC class had climbed up right behind me. Do to our height differences, when I turned, my hand caught him in the face. Not a slap, by any means, but it was enough to startle both of us. I apologized to him, made sure he was ok, & let his teacher know what happened. But I also made sure when his mom came to pick him up that I told her what had happened as well. (Both SDC classes had the same pickup area) Understanding that it was a simple accident, she was really nice about it. Communication helps avoid a lot of bad feelings… unfortunately I also had to deal with some parents that no matter what I did, I was doing it wrong. 🙄
I love this episode. As a teacher who just wrapped their first year of teaching, I can’t say enough how insightful hearing Ms. Richardson talk about the mother instinct. I have no kids of my own, but I had a parent all year just taking her child’s word for what it was and never contacting me to clarify. Our contacts were always combative (one sided). I totally get her wanting to protect her student, however, she just was never able to have an adult conversation with me to clear up what “said.”
The story about the kid being the "alpha male" reminded me of a kid in my 5th grade class. His mother told my mom that she didn't discipline him for arguing/talking back because she wanted him to be a lawyer when he grows up. 🙄
I was 10-15 years younger than the other parents. My daughter’s classmates related to me differently. They thought I was like the goddess parent because I let my daughter dye her hair and triple pierce her ears, as early as third grade. I didn’t care, as long as she was responsible about proper care and hygiene. When I blew out my knee, on my daughter’s scooter, they adored me. So when the whole fifth grade class surrounded me, after school, to tell me how terrible the music teacher treated them, I had to keep their trust and act on it. I fought with the school, demanding to attend a class. They weren’t kidding. He told them they were stupid and yelled and degraded them, with me, in the room. I helped them file a formal grievance. Because I was young and apparently didn’t have an appropriate relationship, with the kids, no action was taken. I was treated horribly, by the other parents. I will never feel like I was in the wrong. All those children were asking multiple adults, for help. I was the only one that would listen. I followed proper complaint protocol. Discrimination against parents is also a very real thing. I dealt with it, for thirteen years at four different schools. Some teachers were great. But admin always treated me like a spoiled child.
I m sorry,but what kind of mothere lets their 8 year ols dye their hair AND triple pierce their ear?!
@@alex.profi27 A good one. Hair grows. Who cares? She liked it. She cleaned and cared for her ear piercings. Who cares? She was responsible and loved it. Better question: What kind of person judges a parent for allowing her child to be herself, in a way that is completely harmless to her and to absolutely anyone else. Let me infer where you can place that gavel Judge.
@@kidswithfins1788 its obvious you were a teen mom
You weren t grown up yourself,let alone parent a child
I feel really sad for your kid. You were a horrible mom
@@alex.profi27 Really? A college degree, a college certification, graduating those with high honors, experience working for the State Public Defender’s office, employment with the Bishop, assisting in successful court cases against two of the worlds largest companies, an incredibly close relationship with a daughter that was just promoted to supervisor. Yep. Terrible. Just terrible. If she were a boy wanting to wear dresses and pearls, that is what the closet would hold. The difference between our parenting is that the children, of people like me, go where ever they wish in life. Restrictive, judgmental parents, as yourself have children that go to therapists. My kids have never been without anything they needed, including emotional support and encouragement. And I did all that by myself. Don’t for a second ever think you out accomplish me. My girls are 28 and 30. They are successful in life. They have been taught to see beauty in diversity. I’m sorry children have accomplished something you are still working on.
While my mom wasn't a teenmom, I can relate to the situation of you and your child. My mom let me do most things, if she didn't have a good reason to say no. And societal norms or ideas about how I was supposed to be didn't count.
And I turned out perfectly fine. I always had good grades, great friends and was involved in community service. Not because she forced me to or because I needed some credit. I did that, because she let me develop my own compass of right or wrong. I was allowed to try and fix the problems I saw.
Having a parent that is willing to see you as a valued human being, maybe young or inexperienced, but worthy of trust and respect is the best thing that can happen to a child.
I am sure you did a great job raising your child. And remember no parent in the history of the world has been perfect, making mistakes is part of the deal we sign with life.
In the end we all do the best with the information we have.
Don't let a boring person tell you that a colorful life is horrible. Everything beautiful seems scary, if you are afraid to feel it all.
Funny story... I have a very modern family where I am 11 months older than my niece.
We were in the same class and told our teacher we are aunt/niece who promptly told us to stop joking around. It got to the point that she was fed up with us and she said she was going to have a strong conversation with our parents. Well my parents showed up and asked about her meeting with my sister. Well our teacher was totally surprised. The next day she apologized for not believing us!
Im 27, been out of school for awhile now but I wish I had Bri as a teacher when I was younger. She seems so fun. 😂
My mom micromanaged me a ton. I was really involved in theatre and had a project due where I had to compare the different nights of our play (different actors each night). It's was a pretty big project and a part of my huge IB project. Well my mom happened to go out of town the nights of the play and said I couldn't go. I begged. I was driving and asked if a friend could pick me up, still no. She wanted me home right after school. She just said I had "work it out." My theatre teacher was aware of my strict mom but she told me to try and work something out because it was really important. She wanted to talk to my mom but she knew that could make it worse. So she went out of town and I went anyway. I remember showing up and my theatre teacher said "Candice, does she know you are here" I said no. She wasn't happy that I disobeyed my mom but was proud that I stood up for myself. I was a senior and 18. I got the project done (literally did everything at school, from the pictures I took to the binder I put together). Made the highest grade on the project and even got an award for it that was given to me in private. I didn't tell my mom about it until a few years later. she tried to tell me she knew the "whole time" until I told her about the award and she was sad she missed the opportunity to see me receive it. To this day she says I'll understand when I have kids one day. It baffles me. Most kids lie and have a party when parents are out of town, I wanted to do HW.
My oldest had a horrible kindergarten experience with a teacher who literally bullied her, and I even had her assistant confirming what my child was telling me was happening. This momma went all the way off, and put a stop to all of it. Had her classroom being supervised because of her behavior. She is now going on 13 and luckily has not had any issues like that since. My other daughter has had some awesome teachers and we have went out of our way to show our appreciation for them! This year, right before school started, her 4th grade teacher literally came to her students homes to introduce herself and give us a paper with info about her and her family, it was so awesome and obviously she did not have to do that, it made me appreciate her so much!
I loved when all of you talked about having a colleague’s child in your class. That didn’t happen too often in the 27 years in my school. I had one really sweet little girl whose mom was a teacher, and I became good friends with her. Parent teacher conferences were fun-all I could say was just to keep doing what you are doing. Their daughter was the lead in our kgn/1st grade play that I wrote, produced and directed about the first immigrant to be processed through Ellis Island.
One of my favorite parents had a very sweet, smart little guy. When her son started kgn, she started law school. I taught him for kgn and 1st grade, and he was simply a pleasure to teach. When the mom graduated law school (with honors, and was a graduation speaker, also passed the bar exam on her first try), she wrote a letter to the principal to let her know how supportive I had been, and how she felt that I was her teacher, too. The principal posted the letter on her office bulletin board and made sure to let the superintendent read it the next time she came in.
But I think my favorites were the children in my class whose parents I had also taught. During my last few years, I had a number of “alumni” children. I enjoyed showing them things that their moms or dads had used or liked when they were in my class. I often wonder though, what kind of stories they had told their children about me.
I agree entirely with the "don't always believe the 12yo word thing". I'm one of those 1% with horror story teachers. Mine literally turned 180 and functionally abandoned me and reiterated repeated that I didn't deserve to be in 6th form (UK equivalent to high school) because I was autistic (the school also cut my special needs support)... I've still felt sorry for them watching parents rip into them cause a classmate went home and told their parents something that's clearly not true.
Gonna be honest I was terrified to send my kids to school when they first started, because I had a few horrible teachers an a lot of horrific experiences. I moved counties and these teachers are amazing! I’ve learned as well that all these kids lie, I’ve had to have a few of these “there is no way that happened” conversations with teachers.
As a student i find these conversations beneficial on how I as a student can make a teachers day easier and have healthy communication skills when situations arise. I love your podcast and I show this podcast to all of my favorite teachers!!!!! Thank you guys so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Has anyone else ever had a teacher call out a couple students when they were talking and not supposed to be and just say "Hey, stop flirting"?
As a soon to be teacher (music education-orchestra), I am so glad I found this podcast because it feels like it’s preparing me to be prepared for teacher.
I'm a student in a college (in the UK) and I find this podcast really enjoyable but also use it as a way to go into my teachers shoes.
I am a good student regardless but I make it my priority to keep a healthy relationship with my teacher as I know if I have a good relationship with them and they have a good relationship with me , we will both enjoy it, I will strive academically and they will continue to grow their passion for teaching.
Teaching goes both ways with student and teacher and a positive experience just makes everything better. I want my teacher to enjoy themselves as much as I would being taught by them. Granted there is always bumps along the way but its usually nothing much than a sorry cannot fix :)
Totally agree...I also have to say I do the exact same thing
Here’s an idea! In light of all the teacher stories you all have been receiving, maybe you guys can have a segment where you read a story and each of you give your perspective on it! I think that would be really cool
Agreed, that would be cool
I agree as well. Mrs. Rogers already does something to this with her "Am I the Bad Apple" series, but having all of them do that would make it even better
My sport is doing horseback, and I used to think that my mom was living her dreams through me! Then she started riding to and all of that pressure to just disintegrate!!
I have had one of my Principal's daughters in my class for two of the last three years and will likely have her next year. Thank goodness she's a sweetheart 💕
I start 4 years with the principal daughter next year
One of the most special parents I ever had was a wonderful woman who had probably one of the most amazing boys I’ve ever taught. Mom was raised in foster care, but worked hard , got through college while raising her two sons, and when her younger son was in my kindergarten class, she entered law school. Her husband’s family was supportive in picking up the boys from school and otherwise helping out.
At the end of the kindergarten year, she came to visit me to thank me for being her son’s teacher (doesn’t happen very often, does it?), and she said that she felt that I was like her teacher too. She said that she would miss me in September, but I told her that I was going to be teaching 1st grade the next year and her son was going to be with me. She was very happy and I gave her the option of telling her son that we would be together for another year. She decided to let it be a surprise on the first day.
We continued to keep in touch even when her son entered second grade. She graduated law school at the end of her son’s second grade year, and was given the honor of speaking at graduation, during a part of the ceremony that a student had never
been invited to speak at.
At the end of that school year, she gave me a small gift, with one of the most heart felt letters I’ve ever received. My principal kept a copy of that letter on her bulletin board for years.
The family moved upstate the next year, but I did get a chance to go to her son’s 5th grade graduation ceremony.
I still remember the family and think of them often, particularly when I think of the parents who were not so easy to deal with.
There were a few teachers that I’ve had over the years and they felt like a second parent and those people helped me when I was at my lowest when my parents weren’t and I’m very very thankful for those teachers that worked so hard and cared about everyone.
I would like a episode on teacher pets I want to see the perspective of a teacher and I know this wouldn't get seen but it would be a pretty entertaining video but just a request
in my case my parents whole heartedly trusted my teacher and literally would NOT listen to me until a teacher that wasn’t even mine contacted my parents to tell them that i was constantly in trouble for things i literally didnt do or just because my pregnant teacher was moody, i wish to this day i could tell mrs.dunning how horrible she was. gave me absolutely awful anxiety issues when it came to school. some teachers shouldn’t be teachers. i also had a teacher in middle school (a female) that refused to let me go to the bathroom and i ended up bleeding through my pants and she did not care at all even after telling her “hey im on my period please let me go to the bathroom”..
Yea some teachers are actually demons. If you believe the teacher a literal stranger over your actual kid them you are a bad parent
Great episode. What I have found that often works well with parents is to call them in tge first days of school just to introduce yourself. That starts the year with a positive beginning. Also, maybe make a schedule throughout the school year to make good calls to parents. Another thing is to have a class website, a monthly class newsletter, or email blast about things that are going on in your classroom ( i.e., skills the kids are learning,, calendar updates, asking for help from hone, spotlighting various students, etc.). It a homeschooling connection, keeping them informed. So when you do have to make that behavior call, they are more likely to listen and support your program because they can see you're not after their kid and you are trying g to keep the lines of communication open. It can pave the way for a collabirative, peaceful, and successful school year. That's coming from a teacher with 20+ years experience. 😉
I was in 3rd grade when the pandemic started and me now going into 6th grade I love watching these videos seeing what teachers go through just for mine and others education and it makes me appreciate all of you teachers so much more than what I did in the past.
As someone who was a SPED teacher candidate and now works in daycare, I love these videos so much. I've seen what schools are like from the inside, but I've also had my own parent situations. I can tell you that you can tell from when kids are little (0-3 years), you can tell what kind of parent they will be to school aged kids. I love having a range of parents, because there is always someone who starts drama and someone who gives great chats and gifts. It's great lol
My twin sister is a high school teacher. She introduced me to your pod cast. I love listening to ya'll. Hilarious
I feel like I’m healing from my teacher trauma from watching you guys. I appreciate y’all so much more now.
First off can I just say I absolutely love y'all's podcast and this is coming from a middle school student!! It's cool to see teachers way of thinking and what they have to go through. I have to say it really has made me think about how my classmates and I act and I have been working hard to help my teachers as much as possible (partially by taking y'all's experiences into account.) I hope one day (probably not any time soon though) I can speak for everyone when I say I appreciate everything you teachers do for us!!! Love y'all 🥰
Earlier in my career I taught 1st grade, now teaching middle school. I have a parent of one of my students who is still in contact with me sharing the highlights of her daughter's life. She is in high school and went to junior/senior prom last year. She was looking so cute. I love parents that stay in contact and really became a friend. Bless yall
I had an aunt call her child on three way whilst he was in gym, I was on planning, and chewed him out. It was so amazing hahaha 🤣
i love this podcast so much I'm a recent high-school graduate and I'm going to college for elementary education after years of swearing i would never be a teacher. but during my high-school i had 2 amazing teachers who let me find a way to relies just what i want to do with my life.
Right at the start Venny looked like an npc waiting for you to speak to them
I love these videos! I look forward to these every time you post! You are all the highlight of my day. TY!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Having worked in schools in Kansas City and New Jersey and at all levels, I can definitely relate to all of you! I worked in special Ed and guidance so I have seen it all. I am now see in second generations of the kids who were bullies in school who are now screaming about teachers “ignoring” bullying their kids!!
I am loving all of these episodes! As a mom with 3 school aged kids I try to be empathetic and encouraging to all the teachers and staff. I know I am not cut out to be a teacher so I will do everything I can to help those who do what I can't. I tried the PTO thing but it's not my thing either. Teacher have put in the effort to make lists of things they want or need so I make things most will like and buy what I can for anyone in the school. Everyone deserves a bit of kindness and reprieve from time to time.
Im a martial arts instructor, so i guess im a teacher of sorts.. but these types of parents apply to my career as well 😂 of course, you all are in a league of your own; I have so much respect for educators!!! I actually remember ALL my teachers and their names from kindergarten to 5th grade, and my orchestra teacher from middle school. Im 29 now, but those teachers were so influential in my life.
You guys always make my day better😂 keep up the good work!
As a reading teacher, I have fomo for never getting to write the note in that book. I did get to write a letter to a former first grader who graduated in an entirely different country when he moved mid year, my first year teaching. They were from Africa and I set up a presentation where these awesome parents could educate the classmates on their heritage.
I had a world history class my sophomore year. We were in our Middle East unit. I was telling my dad about what we were talking about after school. He almost immediately sent an email to my teacher and offered to do a presentation on the Middle East (He’s in the Air Force and has deployed to Diego Garcia for six months, Iraq for six months, Afghanistan for a year, and Jordan for six months) the school accepted his offer and he came dressed in traditional Afghan clothing and even let some kids try on different headwear. He brought pictures from his deployment and talked about the culture, history of Afghanistan, the United States involvement in the Middle East, and the current events happening in Afghanistan (late 2021). A girl who happened to be from Kazakhstan even came up afterwards and thanked him for briefly talking about her country as well.
I appreciate when teachers genuinely care about the students growing up I ended up having alot sever mental health problems with school I was even on medication and therapy and it wasn't enough my mom tried so hard for me to go and I tried at some points but I wasn't consistent with going to school and the teachers that stuck with me were the ones who told me and my mom that it wasn't that I was dumb I just needed to apply myself because most of my teachers would give my mom dirty looks and give up on me because I wasn't in the class room and they didn't care the reason the formed their own opinions early so it was so touching those moments when teachers would try and figure out how they can help
Hi everyone have a blessed Father’s Day!!!!!!!!
Found this podcast on Facebook and I love all of these stories!!! Yall are way too funny 🤣🤣
The lady that made the video is Dena Blizzard of One Funny Mother. She has her own comedy tour and does another tour with two other mothers called My Name Is Not Mom. I have been following her for two years and she is hilarious
Ms wooly reminds me of my 5th grade teacher so much. My whole elementary school experience was just made so great by my 5th grade teacher. Love you Ms Schrader if your here.
Mrs.Wooley, I too love Dena Blizzard and her video about getting teachers stuff at target. She’s hilarious .
I work in a nursery (0-5 years) in the UK. I can relate to so many of the descriptions of parents. Some of our parent expect so much from us we are a parent, Dr, teacher, cleaner therapist and admin rolled all into one. 🤦♀️
I wait all week every week for a new episode! I'm so excited to watch
I loved the video! I'll be looking forward to next week's podcast!
"Get dragged through that teacher parking lot". haha. I am so sick of the empty threats from kids and parents.
I look forward to your podcast every week. I can relate to so many of your stories as a 2nd grade teacher. Thank you for podcast each week!!
As someone who (barely) graduated a year ago, and was a horrible student, I love hearing from teachers perspectives on topics. I know there were some of my teachers who were just really not great people. However, there were those that I understand were trying their best, and I didn’t need to take my issues out on them.
I feel like now that I’m out of the environment, I look back on it and understand how much they were trying to help me; And that I was just a kid who didn’t want the help they were offering and regrets it.
Don’t regret what happened. Take it as a learning opportunity. Bless you for trying to look at other perspectives! We learn and grow so much in life 😊
As someone who has a learning disability I remember it being hard to be accepted in school even by teachers. There were so many times I felt like a bother to my teachers for asking for things to be explained to me in a way I could understand. Watching all you makes my heart warm knowing there are teachers who care so deeply for each individual student and taking extra step to make sure there needs are met while still giving them fun and positive experience ❤️
My mom was a teacher while I was growing up. She always made the best gifts for my teachers.
I had my first student that was “mine” at my job (an enrichment center) and I’ve had her since I started in November. Her last day is at the end of the month and I’m planning on giving her “oh the places you will go”
As a mental health counselor m a high school I really appreciate these podcast. I also have tremendous respect anyone that manages classroom management well. Every Spring I have the privilege teaching a general psychology elective and that is much more challenging than counseling one-on-one or having group counseling sessions. Having said that what happened to the sexy daddy kindergarten teacher that used to be on this podcast? I really hope he's okay I really enjoyed the chemistry between you all
Hello this is random, but I saw your profession and was wondering about the steps you took or any information at all really. I have researched/still am, however I feel like hearing the actual irl process would really help give a better insight. I understand if you're busy as well. Keep it safe and healthy all year round :)
@@samalexis1382 thank you for your interest. Everyone likes talking about their careers. I don't know how far along you are in your educational Journey but I earned a bachelor's degree Child and Adolescent development and then a master's degree in mental health counseling. Sometimes those programs are called counselor education but it's the same thing. After you earn a degree in counseling it takes a minimum of two years become licensed in all states as far as I know. During those first two years after earning my Master's degree I worked as an unlicensed counselor at an adolescent crisis center and temporary homeless shelter. In theory it was temporary anyway but a lot of the times we got the Overflow of foster children between the ages of 11 and 17 who would stay with us long-term because there were not enough foster parents in our area. Agencies such as this are allowed to hire newly graduated unlicensed counselors or unlicensed social workers legally at a reduced rate while offering what is called supervision services. Supervision is when you meet with somebody after working hours to talk about clients and particular cases ask for professional guidance and whatnot. That person supervising you is by definition already licensed plus has additional certification to act as a supervisor to unlicensed people. The newly educated person seeking licensure has to register are official transcripts and graduate syllabi with the health department along with other documentation which says they are being supervized by someone with a license and necessary credentials. In most States those supervision hours range between two and three thousand hence the two-year time period or how ever long it takes a person to complete the hours. Once I had my license I took both the general education certification exam all teachers have to take Plus the certification exam for School counseling. And was able to get in the school system. However the piece of advice I would give you is that it took a long time to find me school position they are very highly coveted especially due to shorter working hours and vacation time. If I had to do it over again I would get bachelor's degree in some type of education and then a master's degree in social work. I say that because it was harder getting a counseling job in a school setting without having been a teacher first. And I recommended degree in social work versus counseling because, while I believe you learn more about counseling directly with a counseling degree, with a master's degree in social work and becoming a licensed clinical social worker, you can get the same job or work in a greater variety of settings. A masters and license in social work just gives you more opportunity and is more marketable. As a side note in some areas of the country they don't have mental health professional working directly in the schools. The schools will contract with outside social service agencies to have me Master Level social workers or counselors come into the School or variety of different schools a couple times a week. It just depends on how your desired District chooses to function. I'm sorry for being so long-winded you know if you have any other questions.
I have a colleague’s kids in my class, two from one family since it’s a daycare/school and it can be awkward when they come to our room to pick up and I have to explain that their kids tried climbing on a table for half the day or that they were the reason we had to put the lights on early after nap and had half a room of crying toddlers who didn’t get enough sleep since they wouldn’t quiet down. But then it’s also kind of fun when I see them in the break room and get to tell them that one of their kids stayed calm and shared a toy when a friend was grabbing at it and when they said another new word!
High school Senior here, absolutely love to hear teacher’s perspective of teaching!
So I just graduated from a elementary/middle school that I’ve been at for 10 years and my mom presented me with the oh the places you’ll go book signed by all my teachers it was so sweet and heartfelt I loved it
11:56
“It was just me and my cauldron, stirring the pot”
🤣🤣🤣
Bri - my son and I listen to these and he constantly says Mama yall must be related. Love your sense of humor and wish you were in our school system because our school would've supported you. You are a rockstar!!!!!
We need next episode now please I just rewatched the entire series I can’t wait much longer love you
they need to keep Vinnie permanently he's hilarious
As a high school student, it’s really interesting to hear things from the teacher’s perspective as I only hear the complaints of my classmates 😭
That is exactly why I tell the school about my worries and concerns right off the bat! I was bullied really bad from 1st-5th grade (all at the same school) and the principal and superintendent did nothing to help or make it stop. Now my kids are having to go to the same school and I am trying to look at the things that have changed (principals, superintendent, teachers etc) but I am terrified that my kids are going to have the same experience I did!
I would love to see a podcast episode where you discuss how teachers are portrayed in the media (news, literature, music, film, etc) and how that plays into parents’ and community members’ subconscious when interacting with teachers and their attitudes towards educators.
Love the twilight movies & life & death book. Love the channel. Happy father's day❤❤❤
16:02 I can just imagine the boy at recess like, IM THE ALPHA IM THE LEADER😂
I love that these teachers can all come together to Laugh about such out of control kids
Talk about the pressure of teaching a colleague's child! During my student teaching, I had the principal's daughter and the assistant principal's two sons in my classes. The daughter and one of the sons were in the same class, and that was always the class I had to take videos of to prove my teaching abilities, so that class period was always a little extra stressful. Thankfully they were all good kids and strong students, because I did not want to have to "call home" to the principal!
After watching this episode I sent both my son’s teachers a thank you note for the year. I’m sure it’s a small gesture but hopefully they know they had an impact on him.
This is my fourth year teaching. The school year has just started and it's been really rough. I've been dealing with depression and anemia and really questioning if I should quit after this year because I'm absolutely exhausted already, and it's been five days. I teach elementary music, so normally my job is really fun (most of the time). But at the end of the day I've decided I'm gonna stick it out and your videos give me motivation knowing that I am not as clinical as I thought I was, lol
Going off of 34:30 I wanted to tell you guys about my family tradition where at the dinner table my parents will go around and ask what each person’s favorite thing is and I was thinking how these are similar
Me as a high schooler that know I am NOT the best kid I could be watching these are preparing me to try to e better for the teachers. Thank you for these videos ill be here watching
I love this channel. Their videos are very interesting, entertaining, and funny I really enjoy watching their videos
My first year of teaching, the niece of my (now former) principal was in my class. I was so stressed out because she would just randomly come and sit in my room without warning during that class.
I think you guys should have a guest teacher that is older to hear some more stories ☺️ I love y'all though thanks for the inside of teachers voices
my daughters about to start day care anddddd im doing the book now
I have had good and bad with colleagues kids. My favorites are the ones who know their kid isn’t a perfect angel and are like “please use your classroom management skills, help me because they don’t listen to me” like they are amazing with other kids but their kid is their kid ya know?
My step mom was a head start teacher and my daughter is following in her footsteps. But I was one of those hard to get in contact with parents, but I worked midnights and unless my child was bleeding, I would snap at the teachers for interrupting my sleep. But those who would reach me learned it was much easier to get a coherent conversation in the afternoon, because I always spent the evening with my children.
I’m a camp counselor and one year I was working in the youngest bunk. I was 16 when a camper’s parent told me her *2 year old* who was in my bunk “talks about me all the time”. I almost cried.
the best friend parent is the best! I had one this yr and loved it!
I love Mr. Thomas. He's so sassy and jolly ❤️
As a student in the british school system i love hearing about the ameerican one as its funny to see how screwed up everyones are lmao
These teachers are amazing.
I've had the "parent besties" who stayed in touch past me moving away and past their sons graduation. Every conference they brought me my favorite tea, and always remembered my birthday. Her kid is 21 and I've been out of the state for 5 years and we still text and she still sends me birthday gifts. (And occasionally Calls me to talk sense into her now college kid) If only they could all be like that!
I worked in a daycare. I worked with the babies. I was so nervous to reach out through the brightwheels app to the parents. Only one of the four had an older child. She was the one I had to contact constantly for formula, extra clothes, diapers, and wipes. The newest Mama that had her 6 week old in there was a joy to contact.
Ngl, I tell my sons teachers ALL the problems I have in parenting. My son has autism and adhd, my only child. Like, hey, I cant solve this, so let me lay this all out and we can brainstorm on how to fix this. Its been an amazing learning oppourtunity for me and we've been able to have my son in a regular classroom with JUST an IEP. No meds.
My moms a teacher and a lot of my family are teachers and it's fun to learn about this stuff
I love listening to you guys while I craft❤️
Thanks for another great episode guys!
For tech team behind the scenes I'm not sure what was going on with the microphones but sometimes the teachers, Lauren in particular could hardly be heard and other times the sound echoed. Thanks for your hard work, I just wanted to give you a heads up.
So my grandma was super involved in my school. In my younger grades she visited my school once a month to bring me lunch, she became best friends with the people in the office because she would help every time she was in there. They knew her really well and were always very happy to see her. She would get the office ladies gifts for appreciation weeks and things like that. After lunch she would come back to class with me because all of my classmates and teachers loved her she would read us stories and bring us goodie bags for special occasions. Everyone adored her. The office ladies my sixth grade year got her a gift and thanked her
I try very hard not to jump to conclusions when my daughter will tell me something happened at school. Like one day she came home crying and saying that all the kids and her teacher laughed at her when she fell. I immediately thought that doesn’t sound right. I called her teacher (not on the defensive) to see what happened. In reality, my daughter had told a joke after she fell and that’s what they were laughing at, not her falling. You always need to communicate first and react second.
This reminds me when I was in 6th grade I’m now going into 10th grade and I remember we made fanpage for our art teacher we all loved him and it would get updated every week and kids all throughout the school because our school is 6-12 but he only taught middle school but kids throughout the school would come visit him even if they have never had him but we all had pictures of him that he knew we took and we would upload them all to this fan page and he adored his students and he is the reason I love art
I'm doing the "Oh the Places You'll Go" books with my kids too. My son's in year 6 and my daughter's in year 3, so we have a while to go...
We do the ‘Oh The Places You’ll Go’ book but I get to see what the teacher wrote every year (I’m still in school) so it’s not a secret for me but I still think it’s a really cool thing people do!! Luv this channel!!
