I said to myself, "Oh G_d. I hated pushing in chairs at the end of the day. I also hated taking roll. It was worse as a substitute teacher when you didn't know the students' names, and then I'd look at the seating chart, call that student's name, but of course, they didn't respond to someone else's name whose desk they were in. Did I say it was horrible? If I, as a sub, turned around to write on the chalkboard...Oh, that was another story. And why was I, as a substitute teacher, staying hours past the workday grading papers when I wouldn't do it for a million bucks? I vowed never to sub again, and I meant it! I promptly turned down offers. Simply said, "No, thank you." So I became a Cub Scout leader instead. Not much difference except no grading in the "grading" sense. Thank G_d!
Summers are used for planning and prepping for the next school year, and PDs and sometimes teaching. Oh, and might I add the countless hours of work done after hours from August to June... Taking work home everyday... Every weekend...🤔
PD is "professional development"...school for teachers. Yep. When teachers aren't teaching, they are required to be learning. By the time you figure in all the uncompensated overtime during the school year and two weeks after the students are out and the two weeks before students come back, there is sometimes three whole weeks of summer vacation--same as everybody else who get three weeks vacay every year. But only in those few summers when we're not going to school to stay "qualified." Seriously people, your surgeons don't have this much required ongoing training. But that's what makes teaching more of a vocation than a profession. You've gotta need to teach, or you'll never outlast the sacrifices, administrative BS, and politics.
I agree with a lot of these points as a teacher, but can we acknowledge this woman for her amazing acting skills?? She doesn’t even seem like the same person between the two versions of her! 😆
A relative once told me that teachers had it made- work 6 hours a day, summers off, on vacation all the time. That was a big mistake on his part, haha. Now he knows better. I taught for 24 years. At age 59, I found myself working from 7 to 7 most weekdays, staying late to plan lessons and make copies, correcting homework and benchmark tests for hours every weekend, taking hours of paperwork home on vacations, etc. At 59 I was worn out. My health was suffering. I took a lower pension to retire early, but Im glad I did. No homework now, no walk- throughs and observations, no portfolios to demonstrate my proficiency, no weekly data analysis. My stress levels have plummeted. My only complaint- I miss the smiles and hugs of those kiddos. I miss teaching, too, especially ELA. But not enough to go back,lol.
I fell for the thought of summers off and 6 hours a day getting out of work at 3 pitch. It was all BS. I told my daughter to not become an educator right out of school. Do any other job/career. If you want to work for free to raise others children do it after you have experienced a great career. I love the kids. But the stress and politics in education are terrible and not worth it for me. Im 15 years in with two education degrees. I'm bitter and confused and feel that my life's work should have been something else. Damn. I hope each year will get better. But then the bs, and last minute demands come. I hate it all over again.
Nor do we “get paid” for the summers. They hold back some of our money from each check and make interest off of our money until summer comes… then we get the rest of the money they held back!
lachiquilla01 this happens all over. This is normal. Some states hold your money back but you get a pay through the summer but it is your money they held out of your paycheck each month from when school started. Teachers are 10 month employees. If you are a teacher educate yourself on this. They hold back your money and make interest on it.
Of course we put the chairs on their correct place! You know how many bruises I have in my legs because of chairs being in the wrong place every time, every day. I have eyes on my back but I haven't developed some in my legs. :D :D
This is an excellent rendition! She plays with passion, clear tone, and a robust thrust of the bow. What a great balance of tensions and tones while maintaining the integrity of this amazing Baroque piece. Formidable performance! Bravo!
Notes from a sub teacher: After being asked for the 317th time, “Why are YOU here?” I found the best (and probably most accurate) reply . . . “Bad karma.” Apparently the universe got over being mad at me because, for the past 12 years, I’ve been a Spec. Ed. sub teacher, and I love it!
Llama Sugar It's good when you see the students again, and they get to know you. Special Ed students and parents are generally appreciative of all you do for them.
It's the side I never hear about with teachers. But it's good to know because both the good and the challenging sides make the job, and then you cam decide if you can so that sort of job or not!
We are so busy caring for other people's children, we put our own care on the back burner which could cost us a high price later. Take care of YOU first♥️
lexalina132 Or scraped gum off desks, or cleaned pen/pencil marks from desktops, or picked up litter left on floor bc they (the students) didn't notice or didn't care? That's when I did feel like a glorified babysitter - all that and straightening desks to align in rows.
I married a 1sr grade teacher and know just how true these videos are! We met and started dating when she was still in college - that was about 20 years ago now. Teachers get a bad rap. However, not all teachers are created equal. There are those who are really into their job and love the kids. And there are those who are simply there for the pay check and ever-decreasing, sucky benefits. Regardless, most teachers deserve respect and are vastly underappreciated.
I had a teacher in 2016 say it was normal to go on a cruise or travel during the summer (now I wasn't so sure about that but it's what she said). I'm just a learner though, now in college. I owe all my teachers for that experience
When people say mean things to or about you, it’s not about you. It’s almost always about them and their insecurities. Sometimes we want to take things a little personally, because it means that we’re important. But truth be told, people are mostly thinking about themselves. And they don’t care about us as much as we’d like to think they do. For me, this was the best realization. People don’t remember what you wore or said nearly as much as you think about it. Let’s stop obsessing and taking ourselves so seriously.
115 students?! That's it. T-T I wish. I have 160! And yes, I can tell you all their names and their favorite colors. Oh, and what they did over each and every weekend while I graded their work.
As a male teacher, our first dates would look much different 👩🏻🦰- “so you’re a guy that enjoys being around young children all day? That’s weird...are you sure you’re not on a registry!?” 🧔🏻- “yeah, that’s not even funny and now my room mate is calling me, I gotta go...”
"Teachers really have it easy, only 26 hours work per week and two months summer vacation." Sure, 26 hours I get payed and the constant planning and grading and meeting after that. And two month summer vacation, when I don't get payed. And yes, 35 kids constantly screaming my name. Or just screaming. So yes, really easy! (But I love my job anyway.)
"I babysit so i know how teachers feel." I'm not a teacher, but that is not the same. Not even close. Seriously. It doesn't take a teacher to realize that.
I'm 33, not a teacher. I was the quiet one in class and saw all the BS the teacher had to put up with.... yeah.. teachers deserve a RAISE!! And if my kids ever disrespect a teacher they'd get their @$$'S whoop'd!
Mondays... Years ago, a home visitor dropped dead of a heart attack on a Sunday, the last day of spring break. Everyone knew the stress of returning Monday is why it happened on that day.
Regarding exhaustion. Ever notice that severe exhaustion and "laziness" look very similar? More than once I have been on the edge of physical collapse when someone implies I am just not working hard enough.
I play Skyrim as a Daedra worshiping Nord woman bashing every bandit and highwayman I see with my Molag Bal mace, soul trapping their souls into soul gems to enchant the damn thing. That is my hobby and vacation... just bashing people up side their heads in Skyrim.
Pretty funny! I could never be a teacher. Nursing is bad enough. Our “students” are all male (it was that way when I started out, very few female docs) with a God complex. Best T-shirt I ever saw? “Do you want to talk to the doctor or the nurse who really knows what’s going on?”
When she pushed those chairs in I felt it in my soul.
I can't like this comment as many times as I want to

Yess!
Me too 🙋

"Put your phone away or I'm confiscating it!"
I felt that deep within my soul!
“I’m a teacher, so...I like silence.” She read my mind!
Yessssss
Blessed, blessed silence. ::D
Amen, amen.
Summers are used for planning and prepping for the next school year, and PDs and sometimes teaching. Oh, and might I add the countless hours of work done after hours from August to June... Taking work home everyday... Every weekend...🤔
And not getting paid. Except for checks comprised of money I should have gotten the other 10 months of the year!
What does PD stand for?
@@valek7700 professional development

Don't forget that extra (potentially demeaning) job you picked up to bring in extra cash. (I chose serving wings in my underwear)

Omg , thank you so much 🌸
Yes, if not for the tattoo...
Vera English you’re very welcome! You did such a great job! Great representation of both sides! 😂
erestube hence why I was addressing her acting skills and not her appearance. Thanks for pointing that out though! I’d didn’t even notice haha.
@@veraenglish730 you act so perfectly. Was to hilarious but true.

That GoNoodle thing killed me!
😂😂😂
Same! I actually found myself clapping along.
We played that song so much during the virtual year.
Plus side of being a Calculus teacher. No parents try to tell me to do my job. 😂
Yeah, high level Math and Science classes... parents tend to keep their mouths shut. 🤣
Parents can't tell you how to do your job but you can't even win the Powerball Lottery.
Nor do we “get paid” for the summers. They hold back some of our money from each check and make interest off of our money until summer comes… then we get the rest of the money they held back!
Its just criminal...I say.

Wow! Where does this happen?

It's a little like someone who plays Call of Duty "understanding" what combat's like.
I do, you run arround wildly while shooting randomly, I am a 100% certain thats how it works on the battlefield.
Of course we put the chairs on their correct place! You know how many bruises I have in my legs because of chairs being in the wrong place every time, every day. I have eyes on my back but I haven't developed some in my legs. :D :D
Pushing the guy's chair in at the end put me over the top with laughter
This is an excellent rendition! She plays with passion, clear tone, and a robust thrust of the bow. What a great balance of tensions and tones while maintaining the integrity of this amazing Baroque piece. Formidable performance! Bravo!
The pushing in the chairs at the end - PRICELESS!

You must be at a good school district.
The sad thing is it's all true. It sounds like fun comedy but it's all true. I feel this video so much ;A;

Truth! Silence is definitely my favorite! I was done with him after he said "babysitting". 😂😅
Wow she is on point 👏👏 teaching is not for the weak.
We are so busy caring for other people's children, we put our own care on the back burner which could cost us a high price later. Take care of YOU first♥️
The babysitting one had me raging
Babysitting taught me something I'm not ready to be a mom nope I don't want kids
😁😁😁
"I am always tired" I agree with you sis 😊
Oh my goodness, the chairs, yes!! If i had a dollar for every time that I've done that at school or out and about! XD

As a retired teacher, I really felt this.
I've been retired for 4 years, and I still push chairs in at the table,lol.
Haha I saw ur other comment was it really that bad or worse?
Not GoNoodle!!! Lol! Girl, kids love it - and when I dance with them! Oooow! (Yeah, a complete round trip being a teacher!)
Ohh God...she had to bring up the teacher's bladder! Real....very real....
I love the putting the chairs back scene at the end! I feel that way, too, just because it is good manners to put one's chair back.😆

It was normal if she had a large inheritance or a wealthy husband. It was 10 years between my "real" vacations.
It’s possible when you live below your means.
This video was GREAT!
I have two pairs of slacks that I just alternate between.
I can't, why not..i just can't. Why not? My back is aching this lights too bright.. my hips are rocking from left to right

I wish. I have 160! And yes, I can tell you all their names and their favorite colors. Oh, and what they did over each and every weekend while I graded their work.
Had the entire school, 650+. Some years I went to four schools a week, some days two schools a day. Others go to that many in one day.
@@catsinhouse how?! How is that even legal? I am so sorry
when I was in my practice teaching I had 220 +
Babysitting?! does not equal teaching.
I feel you 😄
😂😂😂Oh my God!
That's so funny!
I can relate to that 100%.
True suffering / Teacher's Life.
This was spot on!
Damn! I swear i thought teachers summer breaks were lit , this is to accurate 👍🏾🐐
You know you’re a teacher if that last clip of the chairs made you laugh…and also slap your forehead because it’s just so real
Teachers deserve more credit
As a Male teacher, I thought I was going to have a different perspective. All relevant. I was about to flip my desk over when he said Babysitting!🤣
I feel that honest version of her.
love this channel. And this is why I just RETIRED!
That Go Noodle made me laugh so hard. Ironically, I only have time to watch all these because I AM retired. LOL
Teaching is hard but it’s still fun and worth it if you like kids and the subject you teach
"I like silence" For real
Every time she drinks, the more raged she gets
As a male teacher, our first dates would look much different
👩🏻🦰- “so you’re a guy that enjoys being around young children all day? That’s weird...are you sure you’re not on a registry!?”
🧔🏻- “yeah, that’s not even funny and now my room mate is calling me, I gotta go...”
Add to that the fact that - despite having a teacher's salary - you still have to pay for the date.
Going back to push in the chairs! Ba ha ha ha ha

summer break, hahahaha, you're always on! spent many a vacation looking for things to use for hands on science
He’s not totally wrong lol I love summer breaks it’s awesome! But she’s also right about not getting a lunch break and not getting time to pee
You can tell the kind of day I had by the number of Go Noodles I had my kids do. And the chairs 100% me...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Peanut butter in a cup. Its my jam.
That pencil though, haha
Girl if you right one more time!!
The instinct to confiscate is real lol
My teacher used to say: “You didn’t pushed your chair in, you didn’t pass chair school.”
You nailed it!
Been doing that for 22 years, you’re right on

When she said GoNoodle i died inside
wheres/whats her accent from? i couldnt quite place/pinpoint it
Oh gawd! I'm dying here... this is so hilarious!
Ahh I'm not that bad I feel u hun
