      I just ran into a former student at Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. He instantly recognized me. It's such a good feeling. Especially when it's a student who has come a long way!

      It’s exciting to see a teacher at a public space and seeing how different and fun they actually are behind that mysterious figure which you know isn’t the real person they are in class and it’s amazing when a teacher shows who they really are and show u that they actually think you’re a good student

    I was teaching about weather/seasons and asked my students about what the names of the seasons were. An excited hand shot up and when I called on him he said "deer season." I'm grateful for moments like that because they help me remember that I'm working with kids and enjoy teaching instead of worrying about observations.

    I am only a junior (almost senior) in high school and always thought I wanted to be a teacher but I was always worried that the cons out way the pros of it but I am now starting to realize with this video, and your vlogs, that it sounds like a pretty darn good way to spend my life❤️

    This school year I was a freshmen in high school and this past year I moved in with my grandparents and live with them and my parents. My grandparents are in their 90's and it hard watching them slowly age and fall apart and my science teacher this year has always told me that I'm always welcome in her room and talk to her about anything and I very my so appreciated her.

    I even have former students who come back to visit me as professionals, many of whom make more money than I do. :) Yet they still call me "sir" and still accord the same respect as if they were still in my class. Some of them even offered help in any way they can with the extracurricular activities that I sponsor. These are things no amount of money can buy.

  • @joywoolley5883
    @joywoolley5883 7 років тому +8

    I'm still in high school, and I'm not a teacher but you sound like an amazing teacher. I wish I had more teachers like you. I can say from first hand experience that a good teacher that you really connect with is an incredible thing.

    I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Ever since the 3rd grade I remember dreaming about it, and I recently just graduated high school! The past year though, my mom hasn't been suportive of it, as she speaks from her not so great experience of being a preschool teacher. I told her it won't be like that, since my mom was never passionate about her job, but she wouldn't listen. It got to the point where I declared a major just to get her off my case and make her happy, but deep down, it left me feeling a bit lost and empty. I didn't want to disappoint my mom so I let myself down. So the past couple of months, I've just felt so lost and confused and just hopeless. But you really inspire me, Michelle. I believe I'll be able to change the world like you. I believe I'll make my mom and especially myself proud.
    Luckily, I haven't even begun my freshman year of university yet! I guess I gotta go change majors now! 😁 I really hope I get to teach kindergarten!
    Sending love to you! 💖💞❤

  • @GlitterandJams
    @GlitterandJams 7 років тому +12

    Thank you for sharing all of the awesomeness of being a teacher! This time of year it is sometimes hard to remain positive. You are so right - students are not showing their best sides, we as teachers are SO tired and stressed from all of the behaviors and end of year testing and such. It's important to keep everything in perspective and not take it too personally. It's so hard to think about some of those kiddos who are not looking forward to summer because school is their happy place, where they feel loved and are fed and cared for every day. It's heartbreaking to know the struggles some of them endure. You made my teacher heart full with your stories! Sending you love and hugs to help sustain you through these last days or weeks of school!

    • @happilyinthemiddle9707
      @happilyinthemiddle9707 7 років тому +1

    I teared up when you read that letter. Being able to make a difference in a child's life is 1 of the things that made me choose to major in elementary education (with a concentration in early childhood education). I can tell you are an amazing teacher. Seeing that all the rough days are worth it because the wonderful moments definitely outweigh them. Thank you.

    You always manage to brighten my day but this weekend I needed this more than ever. In the last three days I have spent about 12 hours completing paperwork for school - not planning for teaching, just extra paperwork. Tomorrow I don't have ANY breaks as I have duty and three meetings during lunch and after school. Every time I turn around I have another demand for something that doesn't involve me actually "teaching". I have to work on reports this week, so busy evenings again. So... I really needed to be reminded to look at the positives of the job. Tomorrow I am going to take every opportunity to see the joy in my classroom and that should get me through the rest of the stuff. Thank you.

    For the past three summers I have been doing work experience in schools and special education schools here in Ireland. I have always had a love for teaching but I wasn't fully sure if that was the route for me. After finding your channel last week I think my decision has been made..You seem to be one the most caring down to earth teachers and one day I hope to be as good a teacher as you! I graduate secondary school (high school) on Friday!! I am glad I have found your channel.

    I currently teach at a Title 1 school. I would just like to say your videos really motivate me to stay in the game. There have been several days of complaints and issues to hash out and you really forget why you decided to teach in the first place. The little things are always great ways to remind you of why we teach and the little people that we are inspiring each and everyday. Thank you for all that you do!

  • @Richnessdiosa
    @Richnessdiosa 7 років тому

    I think part of the success of your channel is the content. Now days with all the privacy laws and children protection, I would not be able to take video inside my class, or talk about classroom issues or mention individuals and their respective issues etc. I am really enjoying watching because it is real and realistic and what teaching is about and how you stay so positive, upbeat, and keep persisting is really encouraging and uplifting for me.
    It's a shame that more teachers don't have the freedom to air all the good and bad like you have.

The hardest thing I've experienced is having a couple of students who had terminal illnesses. I do what I can to make their life suck a little bit less while I can, but I'm not going to lie, it crushes my heart.

    I love watching your videos (even if I have seen them before I will rewatch them). You are inspiring not only to elementary school teachers but to secondary teachers as well. You said in one of your videos if you're not excited to teach something you can't expect your students to be excited to learn about it and that's carried over into my foreign language classroom this year. I try to make everything exciting to learn about (even if its confusing or not that exciting) so the kids will remember it. Can't wait to see more videos over the summer!

    You remind me of my 5th grade teacher, back during my first year in the USA. I went back to visit her 7 years later, after graduating from high school.
    After watching this, I think I really do want to become a teacher/prof (for foreign language or english).

    Wait till your former students write about you on an English assignment and their English teacher has them send you a copy. Just another confirmation that you are where you are meant to be!

    I like your video. I work at an elementary school as a lunch lady. I can see all the work all of you teachers do. I see so many kids with behavior problems in the cafeteria. End of the year is the worst all kids are insane sassy butts.

    Mascara alert! Lol...Seriously though, these are the main reasons I also LOVE teaching at a Title I school. Our students go through so much, but it's so rewarding getting to build those relationships that they may not have at home.

    I would agree with everything except for the being a better parent. I teach the same grade my son is in and he went on a IEP this year for reading. I know what interventions I would try with him if he were one of my students but when I get home I am exhausted. I felt like the worst mother in the world sitting in that IEP meeting. Needless to say he's getting a mini-reading mommy boot camp this summer, but still..... I will say though I definitely am more aware of how much stuff I send home and how long I give for parents/students to return things. It's hard after a long day in any job to come home and have patience for math and reading homework.

      I agree. I'm a teacher and have a son with dyslexia and auditory processing and it's so hard to come home and do HW especially after working with kids all day! I'm thankful for my wife who takes on that role but it has made me realize and adjusted the HW expectations for sure! I will say being a teacher doesn't make you a better parent but being a parent certainly makes you a better teacher!!!
