I got called in by the principal because a parent complained I didn’t do my nails. I told her as soon as the parent was willing to pay for weekly manicures I would be more than happy to go.
I'm sorry you have to deal people like that, that is ridiculous.
Honestly, there’s something wrong with your principal.
@@Yibambe. I asked her why she felt she had to tell me this and what did she say to the parent. SILENCE
Hahahaha ikr
Omg but imagine IMAGINE how cool it would be if they really paid you for manicures just so your hands can be aesthetically pleasing to them !
“What in the Hannibal Lector?!?” 😂😂😂
I got called into the principal’s office for failing a student who had a 4% average - yes, four.
"did you reach out to the parents? Did you offer the child the opportunity to make up the work?" Yes and yes. And student has been absent 90 days of the school year. Why hasn't administration followed up the child welfare referral form I left 4 months ago?
@@rebeccafoster-faith6647 yes!!!
@@rebeccafoster-faith6647 right?!
@@rebeccafoster-faith6647 Did you provide accommodations 1-12 every day? NO, you didn't? Then that's your fault! Accommodation 1, structured reminder: remind him every single minute to stay on task. You can't even do that? I see why he's failing. Letting alone the other 11 accommodations. You are a horrible teacher!!! 😂😂
No child left behind.
Imagine the bliss of retirement after 35 years of this insanity. Everyday is heaven.
I taught 40 years and have many retired teacher friends. All of them said how glad they were to not be teaching anymore. Respect by parents and students has gone out the window. Spot on from what she is saying too.👍👍
Should have left sooner if you hated it so much.
@@willp.8120 maybe. But it’s like any job. You weigh the pros and cons. It may stress you out all day everyday, but you may still be good at it and find value in it. If we all left when it got hard, there would be no one left.
Cannot wait!!
I won’t be making it that long 🤣
“Ma’am, what are we gon’ do with your child’s lost tooth? Please tell me- do we look like the tooth fairy? I mean maybe we look like the tooth fairy maybe you can add that to the the long list of jobs y’all expect us to do and not get paid for.”
OMG I LOVE HER
I' be like "Sir, I do NOT get paid enough to smile during meetings. I attend, and you lucky I do that. Add a few zeros to my paycheck and I'll smile all damn day"
Who has time to eat at school when we're given 20 minutes for lunch BUT have to monitor the kids while they're eating? Newsflash kids, your teacher scarfs down an energy bar (OKAY...a Snickers. Get off my back!) during her planning period, because that's all the time she has during the day to eat.
Exactly
At preschool I’m at we get an hour
i've seen my teachers having a free period and just planning and forcing their lunch down. no wonder they sometimes look sick. all the stupidity they deal with on top of eating an extremely fast(or no) lunch
God's truth spoken here. Though for me it was peanut butter crackers and usually at the END of the day as I had last period planning.
"I don't understand why we can't keep any teachers!" "THIS IS WHY" also because they should get paid waaaay more than they do.
YUP EXACTLY
Then ask them to do crazy stuff because a Karen is upset
And because some parents are raising Juvenile delinquents
How about a dose of respect with that raise?
Also don't bully teachers who are 'different' out of the field! I mean disabled teachers, teachers of other religions, teachers of other ethnicities, teachers with bright coloured hair and so on.
Y'all know y'all kids lie for a living! Ain't it the truth. 😆
The more I hear stories like these and the fact I didn't finish my teacher's certification, the more I realize I just dodged a huge ICBM
I am a principal and I hope to goodness I would NEVER do any of these things! My goal is to ALWAYS protect my teachers….they have the hardest job in the building (along with the custodians of course). I believe it is my job to be there for them, to be of service to them. Sometimes that looks different. Sometimes it is having hard conversations. Sometimes it is putting things in place to correct a behavior. Sometimes it is cutting out lamination for them, running copies for them, finding them a sub, covering their class so they can go to their child’s pre-school Christmas program, covering their dismissal duty because they came to work feeling like crap b/c they could not find a sub and they needed to go home and go to bed……every day it is something different but it is all for the same goal and purpose. Helping those who are working the front line to teach children day in and day out. They are dedicated to teaching content AND providing/creating a loving and safe environment so the whole child is taken care of. I could go on and on. Teachers are the most over-worked people in my building and they are my heroes. I have a job b/c of them!
Sadly some principals too busy protecting themselves with a safety circle of minions to block them whilst micro managing all the wrong staff, it is so strange. Look how many stories this clip has triggered, which shows you how common it is. I was screamed at by a parent and verbally abused for 20 minutes, I just let her talk did not intervene, she threatened me etc., because, wait for it, her son did not come to reception to pick up what she had dropped off that she should have given him either the night before, or that morning. Son not fussed at all. When I put in a written complaint myself and asked for stages warning letters to abusive parents, lots of schools do that and a sign regarding respecting the staff, like lots of places including train stations have and a barrier ....radio silence!
Principals like you or my principal who also happens to be supportive, is what will make us teachers WANT to work for the school and the kids in our school! Sure we could use more money, but ultimately we want what youre saying support and respect! You seem to do that and if so, then may I say you are doing an amazing job! My principal does this and has created a family atmosphere. This makes it a wonderful place to work with despite what challenges we face and what hard work we do as teachers. So if youre this principal and no one has told you, THANK YOU for all you do
As a parent who spent A LOT of time in my kids schools volunteering, I want to say thank you for not only your teachers but also your students. Teachers who feel supported and respected are all around better teachers for our kids. A teacher who is respected at work will enjoy being there and enjoy teaching our children. The children are the most important part of education and they only win by having a teacher who likes being at their job.
Sounds like a good boss.
I am sure that you are lying. Principals are all crooked ass foxes who are self centered and arrogant.
Every meeting I attended while I was a teacher could have been an email.
Pretty much
"Y'all know you're kids lie for a living" 🤣🤣🤣
I quit teaching FOR GOOD two weeks ago! Your videos crack me up because this stuff really happens! What sent me out the door mid October after the worst year of teaching last year? My principal called me into the office along with the head of school. She said that she received 3 emails from PARENTS of 8th grade girls, who said that I asked a 7th grade girl in my advisory, over my microphone, if she was pregnant!! How did 8th grade girls hear anything from my 7th grade advisory? I thought of your funny videos immediately, and even told my principal that I thought this was UA-cam worthy! I laughed. But seriously, that was the final straw after a ridiculously long list of lies that kids and/or parents said that got me called into the principals office. I only worked at this school for 2 years, but it was the worst bunch of parents I have ever seen! I tell everyone I know to NEVER become a teacher for all the reasons that you list in your videos. We all start out loving our profession, but after years and years of decline in PARENTING, it is a terrible job. Keep making these funny videos :-) because all teachers can do is laugh about their profession at this point to survive. Thank you for the fun!
Good for you, congratulations! I quit about three months ago & I'm so glad I did. I'm now my own boss setting my own hours. Also, I never had high blood pressure until after I started teaching 18 years ago, but just two weeks after I quit my job, my doctor noticed my blood pressure is back to normal & said I no longer have to take the b.p. pills.
@@kamikahz186
That's incredible isn't it!
Luckily my mom, taught 5th grade for 20 plus yrs, didn't have those experiences. Her principal loved her & was the best principal a teacher could ask for! BUT... my mama's been gone 20 yrs & she retired 7 yrs before she passed. Parents, way back then, weren't Crazy like they are today!
I'm so sorry you and other teachers have to go through that type of Crap!!! And Yes... it's an Absolute Wonder why there's a teaching shortage!
God Bless you and teaches Everywhere! ❤️
I was only called into the principal’s office one time during my student career. That walk was the longest walk ever for me. Turns out the superintendent of my school district wanted to interview me and gave me a job offer.
These are so ridiculous 🤣 the embezzler saying there was "trust issues" 🤣🤣🤣 understatement of the year
Got called into the principals office because a student had called me a whore in front of the whole class. I sent him right to the principals office, they called the parent to pick up their child and the parent had the audacity to say that they wanted me to explain why their child would call me a whore because frankly I must've done their little angle wrong in some horrible kind of way. Instead of talking to me first, my principle called me into their office with the raging parent in there and made me defend myself against said parent who was absolutely positive that A their child didn't call me a whore (whole class heard it) and that B I was making that entire thing up to put the child in a bad light. Principal didn't even say a word im my defense. Talk about feeling supported and safe in your workplace.
ICKY!!!! I’m so sorry
That's crazy but not surprising. Please go find a better school and don't waste your time. They will hire anyone to be a principal. Don't put yourself through it.
It is truly ridiculous that this happened........... are too many principals idiots?!?!
Principals are afraid of the school board, the school board is afraid of the parents, parents are afraid of the kids but the kids are afraid of no one.
Jesus. My GF once had a parent deny that his son had hit another boy; they had it on film. The school CCTV had recorded this kid just walking up to one of his classmates and punching him.
He (the kid's dad) then accused my GF and her colleagues of singling his son out: the kid was swearing at his teachers, shouting abuse at strangers who were walking past the school, and threatening other students in front of the whole class. Which the headteacher (principal) did nothing about, which of course in turn meant that the rest of the staff were severely limited in what they could do to discipline this child (the kid was 11).
It's terrible when you can't rely on your manager to support you. I'm genuinely worried about my GF's mental health; that kid has left the school now, so she's certainly happier with her new class, but if something like that happens again I know that her idiot boss is just going to leave her high and dry again, and I'm going to see her cry about a job that she used to love. Again.
OK, that turned into more of a rant than I expected; apparently I have stronger opinions on my GF's boss than I thought I did. The point is that I'm sorry that happened to you; a bad principal can be incredibly damaging for a school and everyone in it.
I once got called into the vice-principal's office because he was suspicious that every time I showed up on school grounds to do my job, the students "seemed unusually happy". No one complained to the principal to get me called in there. The students at that school LOVED me, and I adored them as pupils in return! We always got good work done and the students respected me through and through. But, this VP had the most fragile ego and used it as a reason to scapegoat me to the entire faculty. Then he fired me at the end of the year because of a personality clash, even though he had it in for me and I didn't do anything to provoke his jealousy. Well, except for my doing my job the right way (for people whose heads are still on planet Earth, that is). I appealed to the school principal, but he took the VP's side. Grow a pair, dudes!
Omg this sounds awful.
@@shayanadavis4554 Believe me; it definitely was. :(
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251 im so sorry for you. Scumbags
You need a union.
How is it legal to fire you on those grounds?!?! I’m so sorry you had to deal with dickheads like that. They are unbelievable!
Woooow....... ridiculous...... absolutely ridiculous. I am so sorry for every single one of you teachers that have to put up with all that crap. There's more of us that truly appreciate all that you do. Unfortunately, the annoying ones have the bigger mouths. We love you our teachers!
"This is why we can't have nice things."
Omg the birthmark one resonated with me because I also have a birthmark on my neck! I would be horrified if someone called me out like that 😑
IKR, it's like some people just want to shame and humiliate other people's lives without thought just to superior and vindicated, but start crying when people call them out on their terrible behavior.
How do you work with someone at not notice the "hickey" never moved, faded or left?! If a parent noticed, wouldn't a coworker?
Also, how about mind your own freakin business. How about that as a possibility? Why do parents/people in general think that everything is up for discussion and comment?
I also have a birthmark on my neck. People either assume my neck is dirty or it a hickey.
I was called to the principal's office to talk to a parent whose son was upset about my new seating chart (SIXTH GRADE) Um... "her son' was the inspiration for my new seating chart.
ANother time I was called down for not being friendly to a child who had stopped by my room. That particular student had not told mom she had opened my door and stuck her head in to say 'hi' in the middle of class!
Please do a vid on how teacher colleagues throw one another under the bus!
Ooh yeah that gets ugly.
I've found that regardless of the profession colleagues tend to throw each other under the bus when they feel helpless in the face of bad management or administration.
@@karenwood2928 : yes, you are so right!! I’m a retired RN now, but when I was working ............ that happened far too often!!!
I got called into the principals office because a child lost her boots and I would not stop my lesson and look for them
🙄
I was called into the principal’s office bc a student’s mother reported that I was eating paper in the classroom.
Umm the parent and child knew very little English… I was eating green bell peppers at lunch!!!
I was a teaching major until I became a student teacher. It was supposed to be 4 semesters of student teaching/shadowing. I quit after the first semester. Just watching what teachers went through week after week.
😂those laughs are so pure and contagious
I taught for 38 years, and you can't imagine how many incompetent teachers and principals I encountered.
Love that story about a kid telling the mom he's never seen his teacher eat. As a nurse I can honestly say I rarely eat at work. Not an 8 or 16 hour shift. I just don't like to eat in front of people. I literally hate restaurants. Maybe it's a eating disorder but never got sent to the DON's office for it 🤣🤣. I also have one of those faces that when resting (listening at a meeting or charting) etc. just doesn't smile. You know what I mean, just minding my own business, with people saying "what's so sad" and me not realizing what the hell they were talking about? Oh, and of course the old line "you'd be so much prettier if you smiled" 😳😖🤯 Good golly I'm sorry 😬
So true for me too. People have asked during staff meetings, “What’s wrong are you mad?” No not at all!!
Eating at all, when you are a working nurse!? ............ rarely!!! Most every nurse that I know, worked with, or met....... taking a break (suppose to be two of those a shift) was a figment of some administrators imagination. NO meal breaks, is the norm!! On most shifts, there wasn’t even time to go to the bathroom!!
I got called into the P's office because I refused to give up my lunch and do stupid "lunch and learn" instead. Needless to say, I was labeled "unprofessional" and had to explain WHY I had the right to eat in peace.
I could listen to her all day. She’s HILARIOUS
I was once called into the principal’s office because I didn’t say « Excuse me » after walking past a colleague. The colleague was in the room when I was called into the principal’s office. It was very difficult to keep a straight face.
That’s ridiculous!!!
@@Christine____ Yes it was!!
I’m glad that parent complaining about the “hickey” was there when the principal called the teacher in. That doesn’t look bad on the teacher, it looks bad on the parent!
I had a principal who used to call us in to her office for the most ridiculous reasons. No one could stand her.
Former teacher. Would have loved to work with you! You are sooooo funny!
That first one touched me. They have a meeting norm “watch facial expressions “. How? I am not in control of what my face does when you say something stupid.
OMG! I don't even know how teachers do it! My sister in law was a TA, and she loved her job, but ended up quitting because of the terrible parents! These people (and some of their children) are crazy! This is what happens when everyone feels entitled and feels that their feelings always need to be addressed. Some of these complaints are not just crazy, they are downright offensive and rude!
I could listen to these stories for an hour! I was sad the video ended so soon. Some of these were so ridiculous, correction, ALL of these were ridiculous.
My old principal told me "You make too many faces." What in the world...
I’ve watched this 10 times. Besides your delivery which is great, it resonates better than a tuning fork with truth.
I’m a high school students I have always had respect for teachers, but now I have a lot more after listening to all this y’all don’t get paid enough for this craziness I’m all in my ASB leadership class giving all the teachers baked potatoes and pie because we’re “thankful for them” y’all don’t need potatoes and pie you need a freaking raise!!!! 😳
I was called into the principal's office at my old school, because I didn't sign in the day before. I wasn't in the building the day before, and my absence had been approved in advance. By the principal. She did not apologize.
I don't know why they are so hung up on the signing in thing. Why can't we sign up on the Google document? We literally have to sign in on paper and use the same pen. Treated like children.
Yeah, principals don't pay attention to crap- I was observed by the principal who approved my military absence- when I wasn't there- AND he didn't get a sub, either- he walked in to an UNATTENDED class and couldn't tell there was no adult in the room🙄
We had a young blond kindergarten teacher walking a mixed student out of the classroom hand in hand, nothing unusual. A couple minutes later as they're walking in the hall, the boy throws himself on the floor scream while holding onto her hand. A faculty member, saw it and instead of going over to help, they watched and reported her to central office. So there was a big investigation and everything. After it was all over, then the principal wants to approach her during dismissal and ask her how she was doing. Kindergarten teacher was busy getting her kids ready to have small talk. Then the principal comes up to her and says, "how do you think that boy is going to feel when he's older thinking back on this and remember that a white teacher was grabbing him". 🤯 like what the ****! that kindergarten teacher transferred after that. I don't blame her...
What a beauty to not only NOT help but to then tattle when the person didn't know the whole story. Been there. A little help please... THEN you can tattle. Seriously.
If they thought that kid was in such peril, they should've immediately intervened by checking on them both to see if assistance was needed 🤦🏾♀️ I've had my niece throw a tantrum randomly like that in the store. She was still latched onto my hand. Thankfully the store was family owned and the lady knew she was just having an outburst as 5 yr olds do, and no other customers were present.
Oh great video. I have some wils stories like this to. I was told that I looked too young to teach. I was given a book by the administration so I could learn how to deal with children who are being abused. A book. No specialist, no councilor for the kids. A BOOK. Then we had weekly meetings, no extra pay, to discuss how we felt about what we read. Are you kidding me.
I got called into the Principal's office because I was apparently teaching too much math in AP Physics. I didn't quite know how to respond. I wish I had had a copy of the 3-page equation sheet that they give on the AP test.
There was a time when kindness and respect mattered in education: Unfortunately, that is not the case anymore. 😢
I just love love love this channel!! Especially this woman!!!! This is soo funny!!! 😂😂
Honestly if my principal told me to smile more in staff meetings: I would spend the whole meeting smiling with my whole teeth and just stare at him the whole meeting until he realized “maybe I should’ve kept my mouth shut.”
I would do the same, but first ensure I had some spinach stuck between my teeth.
I don’t know why it took me this long to discover this channel. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, high schoolers and even the collegiate level. This is funny because it’s true.
The longer I work in education, the more I’m disgusted with admin and their collective decided lack of leadership skills.
For real! Last year, we were told the kids could cheat (indirectly...they said they wouldn't back us if we gave a student a 0 for cheating). The whole system is a joke!!!
@@jennyhammond9261 I was told we couldn’t suspend students for violent behaviour.
The incopetence is on a high!!
This was the biggest reason I didn't finish my degree in education
As parent I’m baffled by these videos. Holy crap we definitely should require people to apply to become parents because our future is in serious trouble.
I think a teacher has to have authority and if the principle isn't going to back that teacher the kids see that as 'divide and conquer' between them. That is why you have all of these cases where teachers are called into the principle's office.
**principal
I wish with all of my heart that you had been one of my teachers. You are a DELIGHT!!!
I liked the principal at my school. I once upset my teacher and she sent me to the principal and told him what I did. Then he talked to me then explained how I wasn't wrong but how reacted was wrong. So he explained to me how to act better for my teacher and to be aware of others feelings. And we had soda and chips while we gave the teacher a bit of space and made it look like I was in big trouble. I listened to his advice and never had any further problems in the classroom. He also would make me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches anytime if I was hungry. We where a small school.
"What in the Hannibal Lecter?!" I'm stealing that.
I got called into the principals office because my class was too loud during recess. There were 6 classes outside, but only mine was loud. The principal then told me my students couldn't go out to recess until state testing was over...in over a month!!
I got called into the principal's office because a parent complained that I talked about suicide in class. I was teaching Romeo &Juliet - part of the required reading list. The Principal decided we would just put stickers in all the literature books stating that our school did not condone teen suicide. Then told me, "just don't mention the word yourself, okay?" 🤦
Melanie, this is both a funny story and, sadly, the indicative of the mess modern educators have got themselves into. Many generations of school children have studied Romeo and Juliet and the vast, vast majority didn't even think of committing teen suicide because of it! Putting stickers on the books mentioning it just might bring it to the attention of some today, though...!
I haven't snort-laughed in a long time - thanks - loved his!
I was working at a *failing* hot mess of a school and giving my heart and soul to that job and staying late every day and was called into the principal's office one day because she had been stalking me on the security cameras every morning and watching to see exactly what time I walked in the building and said I was 1-2 minutes late like five or six times that year. I didn't have a morning duty, a homeroom or a first period class by the way. Some of this is just honestly petty, controlling nonsense that teachers have to go through, honestly.
I got called by the principal because on the first day of virtual instruction last school year, a parent immediately called him after the class was over (she interrupted my teaching 3x) and told him I talked about hot dogs for 45 min
You are the funniest thing on the internet. What's really scary is that's all true!
I’m 63 years old. In all my time as a student from kindergarten to college I don’t recall seeing any of my teachers eating except one time when the teacher ate a pear. I think I remember that one because I had only seen canned pears before and I didn’t know what she was eating, I was in kindergarten.
Stop having staff meetings lolol 😂😂😂
When I become a teacher I’m going to watch your videos when I inevitably have a bad day. I love your sense of humor!
Love your channel. As a public servant, I put you and all great teachers on a pedestal of public servants because you give so much and deserve so much more.
Not a teacher, but happy I found your YT channel. So funny so true. Friends and family are teachers and I hear these complaints.
“What in the Hannibal Lecter…?!” 😂
11 more weeks and I’m done!!! You are a delight and made me smile. Thank you!
Lmao 🤣 I had a manager tell me after a meeting, I look like I didn’t want to be there because of the way I was looking. I look at him like are you serious it’s just my damn face 😒. I just looked Down on him cause I was taller lol and said with a very dry tone ITS JUST THE WAY I LOOK, and turned and walked away.
Omg!! I, too, have been spoken to for my "face." 🥺
You. Crack. Me. Up. This stuff is gold!
For all that is good, please make a part 2 ASAP.
I had a principal who made a practice of driving out one SPED teacher every year. When my turn came, it was so much worse than I imagined. He asked my co-teachers to report to him any and everything I did, like being late to class because I had to escort one of my students to every class because she kept getting in trouble in the hallway. He placed me on a PDP that was impossible to complete, including individualized lesson plans for every one of my 98 students every day, (I was splitting my time between 8 classes in 2 grades) and not having received any plans from the teacher I was working with was no excuse. He called me out of lunch at least 3 times a week to accuse and berate me. The final straw was when he called DFACS and said that I was mentally unstable and a danger to my child. He won. I quit. I would have loved to teach somewhere else, but he blackballed me to every district around, to the point where I couldn't get hired as a substitute. I should have sued him, but I was so traumatized that I couldn't even work for a year much less hire a lawyer. And we don't have unions in the South.
I’m in Louisiana and we have unions, but that was some serious harassment and you should still sue if you have any documentation. That was just plain wrong what he did to you.
We have unions in AL, too.
For the birthmark one, I would've said, "I need to pause this conversation for a few minutes while I find my building representitive for the union".
Preach!!!!
You are on point, BF! Look at you matching your polish to your shirt AND your coffee maker ♥️
"Lie for a living." Truth!
Kids used to get called into the principals' office. Now teachers get called to the principals office
I’m a teacher. It never occurred to me to steal kids teeth,but since the job doesn’t pay enough to live on, I’m going to start doing just that so I can make some extra money from the tooth fairy.
Abd that is why I quit after 12 years!
I quit my teaching job because they expected me to work for 11 hours straight with no break and a 7 year old said I lock them in a closet and make them take naps every afternoon. I wish they took naps.
Having friends & family who are parents, and a close friend being promoted to principal all respond to the parents the same way you do brings me hope.
OmG just discovered this channel and I love the content and I love this woman’s humor!!!!!!!
I just discovered this channel and I’m hooked! She is so damn funny, my face hurts from laughing! 😂🤣😂
this is my new favorite channel. I love her so much!!
I bleepin love you. These are the videos that lift my mood after a bad day. Keep on keepin' on!
this is SOOOOO real. love it. thanks for letting us laugh at the ridiculous micromanaging things that happen
Thank you for your amazing videos, I’m going through a tough time at the moment and these make me laugh out loud. A bit of sunshine at a cloudy time in my life ❤️
You said it once before, am I NOT a Professional. Treat me like one.
Omg. You are hilarious 😂 Needed this sitting here relaxing on break.
Y’all know y’all kids lie for a livin…please make a tshirt with that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched most of this series of videos and I love this lady's responses to the idiotic parent requests. If she ever decides to leave the teaching profession she would be a very, very successful comedienne!
One year, our last day of school was May 25. I worked on SATURDAY, May 26, in my classroom to finish all the required work and reports for POSTplanning -- no students -- because on Monday, May 28, I had to have emergency gall bladder removal. I had weeks of sick leave, no problem there. The surgery was delayed, and I didn't get home until 7 pm that Monday. My principal called me Tuesday and demanded to know why I wasn't at work. HE had been the one to receive and sign off on my sick leave; he had the doctor's note. He then told me he was not accepting my sick leave request for Wednesday, which was a half day, 8-12, even though all of that was already requested and signed off. The next year was my last year of teaching at that school.
The teacher with the birthmark should have lawyered up on that one.
My failure rate was too low! Not. A. Joke. This year, my principal spent a long-winded stint bragging about the "perfect" person to replace me (a 20+ year, female, veteran teacher with a doctorate): A MAN (yes, he emphasized that), with NO English degree, NO experience, and NO certification....I hadn't quit or retired, either! Can't make this crap up!
you are so great! please keep up the content! you rock!
I love your videos... i taught at a New York City public school for 26 years.
Not only are these stories funny and kind of appalling, but also true! 😄 These are definitely the kinds of things teachers deal with daily.
you are the greatest. You had me laughing out loud.
Love you! Funny as anything!
I got called out and made to watch a 45 minute about bullying because I "couldn't be throwing that term around" after I reported a girl pulling on a boys testicles for three days straight in order to take his place in line.
I still suffer ptsd from sticky notes left on mail box “please see me” from principal..
