    Not going to lie, one year thinking I was the best teacher, I sprinkled glitter across the carpeting as part of a rouse to appear like St. Patty himself visited our classroom. Needless to say it took me the remainder of the school year to make it up to our cleaning staff.....they still talk about it. 🙂

    Joe, thank you thank you for bringing up the way kindergartners do the moaning and groaning instead of asking for help. I’m a preschool teacher and we are working on that. If you’d like my help ask, use your preschool words and ask or tell me what you need. My last class was the worst at this but after a few months they got better and if anyone did the moaning and groaning, they’d turn around and say “ hey you need to use your words or we will not know what you need.” So now they are in pre-K and they are using their words. Also scented scissors and glue??? Never coming to my classroom!!! I loved everything you had to say, made me laugh!!

    I’m a 3rd grade teacher and I think Off brand crayons(Like ROSA!) should have not been invented either. They are just wax and destroy all artwork. Stick to the original: CRAYOLA!!!
    Another is spiral notebooks. After a week with kids trying to unravel the metal they are useless and the covers tear off. The last thing I’m going to say on this is that they destroy teacher bags when you just want to go home a grade their work. Kids should all stick to composition notebooks. They last!!!

    Never heard of scented scissors and would like to have words with the inventor of them! Also popit anything needs to go away. Not school supplies, but t-shirts/sweaters/bags with 2-way sequins as all the kids want is to touch them and make them change ( see popits). Glitter is the devil’s dandruff, it gets everywhere!

  • @LLee-jx9og
    @LLee-jx9og Рік тому +23

    OMG - yes, KEEP POP-ITS OUT OF THE CLASSROOM!
    And, speaking of scented things: hand sanitizer does not need to be scented. One year all the little girls had a different scent of hand sanitizer, and those scents are not subtle! I could not even breathe in the hallway by their lockers. 👎🏻

    Trapper Keepers! They weigh 20 pounds and don’t fit in the desks or the tiny backpacks. If papers go into them, they go to the same place the missing socks go. You will NEVER see them again. If you do see them it’s because the zippers on the TK chewed them up and spit them out.

    First off I 100% agree with your stance on glitter, I swear it was invented by the devil. Also my fidget rule is it’s a tool not a toy. I tell them that if they can’t be responsible with it and use it as a tool, as in I shouldn’t be able to tell you even have it, then it’s being used as a toy and therefore will no longer be an option… there’s a few students who no longer have the fidget privilege.

The tiny backpack problem is real, 2-3 high schoolers would be assigned to try and stuff the assignments into backpacks for 15 minutes before the end!!! And you're right, the ones with the full size backpacks that almost touch the ground are *HILARIOUSLY ADORABLE* and so much more effective

    My heart is broken, but it’s for the best. Such incompatibility can never be overcome. Not even with scented glitter glue sticks adhering our lips to each other. We’ll have to cut our lips apart with our scented scissors…the ones we took out of our tiny backpacks, made heavy with our rocket ship pencil cases…
