I just love your laughing! It’s incredible how much some parents are completely delusional. As you say, the parent’s job is to show their kids life AS IT IS, not as they would like it to be. What really scares me is the fact that these children will grow up thinking they are the center of the world…
This reminds me of a childcare center once where one of the parents asked us if we could MOVE OUR GYM so her child could take a nap, since the child was being kept awake from the kids playing in the gym. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?? Remodel the whole building ?
As a lefty.. I feel seen and heard, finally. My 4th grade teacher sent me to the occupational therapist to learn how to "cut correctly because something was wrong with me." I'm still traumatized 30 years later and you're damn right I have left handed scissors now. Suck it, 4th grade teacher.
We had a parent bring her child to preschool wrapped in only a towel. In the middle of winter. Happened again in summer. Mom dropped off the kid and bolted before anyone could do anything. Had to call her to come get her naked kid
True story: kindergarten showed up to school in pajamas and slippers every day because he argued with mom about getting dressed. I guess the teacher complained…So, mom started sending him in his pajamas still, but with a complete change of clothes! Then they transferred him to MY class!!!!! Whhhhyyyyyy???? What did I have to do with any of it?????
Teacher tried to get my brother to change hands back in the 60's. When my son started writing he was definitely a lefty and never had any one try to change him but my mother and we had a little conversation 😉.
Girl this is just nuts. People are insane clearly. My daughter and her friends buy so much stuff for her children’s teachers, I’m talking about amazing things, everything from lamps to rugs and all the supplies you’ll need, there’s even wine, chocolates and snacks for her/him. They say if these people teacher can put up with my children every day of the then they deserve to be showered with thank you gifts. lol I agree too. You’re wonderful. ❤
I love when you do the crazy parent request videos. Mr. Mack is funny in these videos too. Regarding the sound proofing of the windows at the school, I know a solution you'd enjoy - Keep Your Child at Home & Homeschool them! 😂
Thank you to all teachers who are trying to do your job well amidst the difficulties of today’s world. You bless society with your commitment and dedication and should be better recognized for all you do.
My older sister was left handed but when she was in i think kindergarten her teacher forced her to write with her right hand. I’m left handed and thankfully my teacher wasn’t pro everyone must write with their right hand.
I'm right-handed, but I hold my pen/pencil in an unusual way. In eighth grade, my English teacher was forcing me to hold the pen in the correct way. By the way, I still hold the pen in my unusual way, and my penmanship is fine.
I discovered your videos today. I have watched 3 and my mind cannot comprehend how people get this way. None of these things were provided to anyone I. My school as a kid, so why do they think they're getting it? My mind is blown at the audacity. Love your approach to everything. You one awesome sassy lady.
Elementary school nurse here! Y’all are the best! Here’s one for u from last week in my clinic. 2nd grader tummy ache. I have a note mom has to be called for any visit. He pooped! Wanted me to wipe him. I explained how he can do it himself through the door. He gave me no back talk. BUT mom sure did!!!! “He can’t wipe himself! You have to do it for him”. Well mom he did it!!!!!
Teachers are contract employees, paid for the days school is in session, not paid for breaks, holidays, weekends, or summer time. The government figured out they could spread out our pay through the year. When I started in 1975 I had the choice to be paid during the nine months I worked or spread out over the summer.
Y’all gotta stop talking about our pay checks as if we owe you back child support or something…it’s YOUR child. You’re legally responsible for them. You not having paid time off is a conversation between you and your employer. You haven’t noticed all these teachers out here fighting for what they believe in? Get your coworkers together and hop to it.
These parent requests used to amuse me. Now they just make angry. (I'm not a teacher but an instructional assistant.) And some of these questions are for admin or the school board, so why are these parents making it the teacher's problem?
I have an explanation regarding the left/right hand dispute. The parents were left brained, but their parents and teachers tried to make them right brained...so now they're just hair brained !!! 😂
My parents tried to "change " me from being a lefty because that's what was done back then. It backfired majorly. I would write everything backwards and upside down. I don't know how or why I did it like that, but my brain has always been wired differently. 😂
If the child is this age, the parent has to be at least double that number... so about 34 years old or older. It concerns me that someone in their 30s and up wouldn't know these sorts of questions/ troubles would be best directed to a family therapist, or to a teacher of a parenting class or someone in similar occupations. Parents certainly sound like they get too personal with teachers. If you need more attention/ extra support, perhaps paying a mentor for guidance... or a tutor for more individualized academic support.
My first thought was that at least you can laugh about these. But then my second thought was that I hope many of these are exaggerated, if not made up. Unfortunately, however, as someone who taught for 5 years, I KNOW they're not. Ugh. What is wrong with people?????
I think some parents are afraid of being excused from work in order to attend those conferences because of how hell-bent they are on preventing the entire family from getting evicted!
Conference days are on the calendar at the start of the year. That should give you plenty of time to notify your employer. Now if your employer is threatening to fire you if you take a few hours off for a school conference there that is whole different conversation.
It is unreal how so many parents believe the world is supposed to bend to accommodate their child, rather than teaching their child to function in society.
Oh your son is already special ma'am. In fact why don't you contact one of those special schools and get them in some of those special classes for special kids just like him
Parents seriously need to stop abdicating their authority to their kids! The authority shouldn't be left to the person in the family that has recently eaten using the chichi Train,or was only Potty Trained recently... Because, when they get older they get too big to be controlled... Then try to exert authority will not go well! Teach them how to behave in a socially acceptable way...they will have less problems and more abilities to deal with all the crap life drops on people never all know that from time to.time Life Is NOT Fair! So, give them the ability to adapt and overcome... That isn't accomplished by asking Teacher to treat your kids like the world revolves around them and the things you think they need above and beyond teaching the curriculum.
Why do parents waste their time with these stupid requests? Honestly, are they that detached from reality? Are they not able to understand what school and teachers are for?
What sort of schools did these parents attend, did they get all these things when they went to school? I know I didn’t. Of course England is a different country so I thought some schools did things differently than I did, and different to when my son went to school just up the road here.
Listen I can stop no one from using a different hand to write who do I look like a magician matter of fact they don’t even listen to normal instructions
Frist of all everything iam about to say falls on the caretakers of the child to do. Ok so one of my friend has spacial needs child and she send him to school in sweatpants Not pj but sweatpants beacuse he can't stand regularly pants problem fixed. As for the kids that has problems with noise the patent should get him noise canceling headphones again special education kids or kids with ear problems need them sometime.
so so sorry.... for once your video failed to energize me. A couple weeks ago I got a lettetr of reprimand for (A) not giving a child the same grade as her group, (B) not telling the parents that she was a B****, (C) not answering her "how do I pass without doing anything? question with anything constructive, (D) not handcuffing her to tutoring when she came in, and (E) not upgrading homework on test days. They are terminating my contract now after spending upwards of $10K on PD for me and all the other high school math teachers.
Exempt from recess, eh? The one time of day and "subject" that every student actually likes lol. And I bet the parent who wanted their daughter to be taught how to become right-handed was a right-winger themselves.
I'm Unsubscribing... Because A Child's Education Is So Vital & Rarely Are Teachers Held Accountable For The Role They Play & That's Extremely Saddening 😡🍎✏️👎🏾
Then why are you even watching in the first place? As a daughter of a 45 year teacher and having worked as a special ed teacher and associate professor of law, I find these stories, which are TRUE, to be an important viewpoint to be shared from an educator’s perspective. And as an educator, I’m going to be petty and remind you that you don’t capitalize every word in a sentence, just the first one (and proper nouns)🙄🤦🏾♀️
So what should the teachers do? Give the parent what they’re asking for? They walk all over the teachers already! Also, clearly you didn’t do well in English class because there’s no need to capitalize every word.
There's no denying that their *EDUCATION* is vital. This video isn't about their education. It's showcasing the ridiculousness of parents. For example, I knew of a mom getting upset that her very young daughter's jacket is missing, but when it came to her child getting services her teacher highly recommended, she wasn't concerned. This mother didn't show concern for her daughter's education, but a lot of concern over a missing jacket or two. Dealing with several little children is NOT easy. Even when they help clean up toys or art materials etc., they do not do a very effective job. There's a lot of energy required during the school day. It's not realistic to belive staff can follow your child's every move and make sure they don't misplace items they bring with them to school. The video mentions sleeping, a personal toilet, and cutting teacher pay, among other things. . . how exactly are the requests mentioned touching on a child's education?
I absolutely love this woman. She is awesome 😂

Yes, that is exactly what she wants and she won't pay a penny to help!!
@ we told her no and that she’d have to get over it basically 😂
As a lefty.. I feel seen and heard, finally. My 4th grade teacher sent me to the occupational therapist to learn how to "cut correctly because something was wrong with me." I'm still traumatized 30 years later and you're damn right I have left handed scissors now. Suck it, 4th grade teacher.
These shenanigans = Home school😂😂
How do you not snort laugh cry when reading these?? I'm dying at the first one!
We had a parent bring her child to preschool wrapped in only a towel. In the middle of winter. Happened again in summer. Mom dropped off the kid and bolted before anyone could do anything. Had to call her to come get her naked kid
😮😮😮😮😮
😮😂😂😂😂😂
LOVED hearing her laugh at the beginning!
True story: kindergarten showed up to school in pajamas and slippers every day because he argued with mom about getting dressed. I guess the teacher complained…So, mom started sending him in his pajamas still, but with a complete change of clothes! Then they transferred him to MY class!!!!! Whhhhyyyyyy???? What did I have to do with any of it?????
That left handed thing...in the 70's teachers actually tried to do this to me! Soooo i am ambidextrous. Because I am left handed!
I'm naturally ambidextrous, but I write with my left hand because my kindergarten teacher made me pick one.
Teacher tried to get my brother to change hands back in the 60's. When my son started writing he was definitely a lefty and never had any one try to change him but my mother and we had a little conversation 😉.
So tell the parent to order flowers to be delivered to the school each day.........lol
Girl this is just nuts. People are insane clearly.
My daughter and her friends buy so much stuff for her children’s teachers, I’m talking about amazing things, everything from lamps to rugs and all the supplies you’ll need, there’s even wine, chocolates and snacks for her/him.

I shared this with two of my nieces (who are teachers). They assured me that this ain't nothin....compared to some of the "requests" they have seen.
Girl! You crack me up!!!! Fantastic! 😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot with these parents- what the actual heck??? Split my salary?? You best back on up lady!
I honestly thought she was gonna say homeschooling and keep that ridiculousness away from us. 😂
Thank you to all teachers who are trying to do your job well amidst the difficulties of today’s world. You bless society with your commitment and dedication and should be better recognized for all you do.
The parent of the left-handed child needs to get her head out of the 1950's. I started kindergarten in 1973 and they didn't do that bs.
My older sister was left handed but when she was in i think kindergarten her teacher forced her to write with her right hand.
I’m left handed and thankfully my teacher wasn’t pro everyone must write with their right hand.
I'm right-handed, but I hold my pen/pencil in an unusual way. In eighth grade, my English teacher was forcing me to hold the pen in the correct way. By the way, I still hold the pen in my unusual way, and my penmanship is fine.

Your belly laughs give me life.
We had a kid who wore his jammies every day in 4th and 5th grade..lol
They all get a free one way ticket to Auda City!
Neeeeeeds REM sleep 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Put him in a drawer for his nap!
Elementary school nurse here! Y’all are the best! Here’s one for u from last week in my clinic. 2nd grader tummy ache. I have a note mom has to be called for any visit. He pooped! Wanted me to wipe him. I explained how he can do it himself through the door. He gave me no back talk. BUT mom sure did!!!! “He can’t wipe himself! You have to do it for him”. Well mom he did it!!!!!
If the 2nd grader played outside during recess they wouldn’t need a spray tan.

I have tickets to your show in Phoenix in February can’t wait!
You are great! Love you!
Happy New Year 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kiddo naps are not long enough to reach REM stages of sleep. Need at minimum an hour to an hour and one-half before REM kicks in.
Love your laugh!
I have an explanation regarding the left/right hand dispute. The parents were left brained, but their parents and teachers tried to make them right brained...so now they're just hair brained !!! 😂
We can’t even get screens she wants sound proofed windows
Love your work ❤
You are a TREASURE!
It sounds like a few of these parents know their child has learning diffs .. have they ever considered testing for their children...
My parents tried to "change " me from being a lefty because that's what was done back then. It backfired majorly. I would write everything backwards and upside down. I don't know how or why I did it like that, but my brain has always been wired differently. 😂
I had a parent email asking me how to get her child out of bed for school.The “ child” was 17 years old. I didn’t respond.
If the child is this age, the parent has to be at least double that number... so about 34 years old or older. It concerns me that someone in their 30s and up wouldn't know these sorts of questions/ troubles would be best directed to a family therapist, or to a teacher of a parenting class or someone in similar occupations.

Hello thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My first thought was that at least you can laugh about these. But then my second thought was that I hope many of these are exaggerated, if not made up. Unfortunately, however, as someone who taught for 5 years, I KNOW they're not. Ugh. What is wrong with people?????
Parents being extra is very annoying
I can’t believe the full of some people. Like can there be a screening test before you become a parent.?!?
I think some parents are afraid of being excused from work in order to attend those conferences because of how hell-bent they are on preventing the entire family from getting evicted!
Conference days are on the calendar at the start of the year. That should give you plenty of time to notify your employer. Now if your employer is threatening to fire you if you take a few hours off for a school conference there that is whole different conversation.
Friend, can you set up a quiet, dark, special place for ME (the teacher) to get some good sleep????
I wish this was higher, we don't get enough pay let alone sleep. Maybe we need paid nap time too😂
How hard is this? We get paid OVER breaks, not paid FOR breaks. I can't, I just can't.
It is unreal how so many parents believe the world is supposed to bend to accommodate their child, rather than teaching their child to function in society.
Oh your son is already special ma'am. In fact why don't you contact one of those special schools and get them in some of those special classes for special kids just like him

You can’t split my salary because I don’t get paid during summer, winter, or spring breaks. There is no money being given out!
I just can’t even believe these.
😂😂😂😂😅😅
Listen I can stop no one from using a different hand to write who do I look like a magician matter of fact they don’t even listen to normal instructions
What planet are these people from?
🧡🔥
OMG 😦 Cut your salary! WTF 😬 Why do these people not understand it is THEIR KID!
Now, I ain't tryin' to say ALL of this was sarcastic, but... It sounds like some of it might have had a hint of sarcasm...
Frist of all everything iam about to say falls on the caretakers of the child to do. Ok so one of my friend has spacial needs child and she send him to school in sweatpants Not pj but sweatpants beacuse he can't stand regularly pants problem fixed.

Where in the bloody hell do these "parents" come from??
This is hilarious! Parents nowadays! Now wonder why children are so lazy and spoiled!
I think they must be asking us to do these stupid thinks just for the laughs. if not think(id-10-t) push it together and see for yourself.
so so sorry.... for once your video failed to energize me.
