Thats me

I avoid conversations with my students' previous year's teacher for this very reason and get to know them for myself. More times than not, I've found that students rise to the expectations that I set.

When I get picked to write on the board I get too excited because I like to write on it and usually I don’t get to.

I'm not a teacher, but DAYUM that marker is hot

as a student that always gets called to the board to write the lesson when the teacher is tired, REAL.

When teachers use the fresh markers be like:

Yeah, but as soon as u use them at home, all the sudden it runs out of ink

Explains sooooo much about the American education system and why Americans are so..... American.

As a student who only has red, green, blue, dried out markers in my classroom, it makes me SO HAPPY when i see a black, fresh, juicy marker.

I hear you, and I'm so glad that was your experience, but what do you all, including children, think us teachers are seeking out to do? Wake up and choose violence? And I don't want to hear about the teachers who are downright mean and actually did pick on kids. That makes no sense. I have no cause to see you as an issue if you are not causing an issue. Your typical logical adult who would choose to be in a classroom for no thanks or significant reward needs more benefit of the doubt themselves that they are not there to ruin children's lives.

Honestly sometimes thats all it is. But also sometimes, people change behaviors when no one wants to be around them, that includes kids. 🤷‍♀️ Sometimes it takes years of people not enabling someone for them to realize what help even looks like.

My teachers dry ass markers could never

Love the sound effects 🤣

Sadly, this is all pretty much accurate... Oh this generation🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Good on that secretary!

The state of Texas has not increased their payments to schools for each child for YEARS and now the governor is now pushing to give money to non public schools for students to attend them. Let's give the public school teachers the pay they deserve, the resources they need, and fix the system rather than creating a new problem!

me when my teacher writes on whiteboard:

Woke school boards

As a former student always broke my heart leaving my teachers too 😢

😂

That’s ok. I just wasted my time taking a Reading microcredential because they promised to pay us $1K to do it. I went to apply to get my stipend today only to find that it is now “temporarily suspended”. And it says they know the funds are important to us but are very sorry for the “delay”. WTF?! I teach SCIENCE!!! The I ONLY reason I did this was for the $$$ because I’m BROKE!!! Oh! And the “save our teachers” bill that promised to raise teachers salary in this state to a reasonable amount DIED in the HOUSE!!! WTF??!!! We’re 48th in the country in teacher pay and have a HUGE shortage of teachers. Gee!!! I wonder why!!!’

I’m waiting for the Long Island show!

This is the way.

Either that or kids change over time. You're coming across as super self-congratulatory.

My favorite students were always the ones prior teachers warned me about. On the other hand, the students everyone loved were usually super annoying because they always expected their amazingness to be praised. Lol

it is just a job !

You are the teacher so many kids need 💗. When you said other teachers said “not worth it” it broke my heart

I was told my first year when the district had a surplus of funds not to expect any of it. They will give you just enough to run the school. And when there is a shortage not to worry because they will find just enough to run the school. Facts.

I had so many students that when I found out they were behavior issues in their other classes it absolutely shocked me

I can even smell it

I replaced a piggy backed “little girl lovin’” college boy who put his hands on little girls. I let my kids know I was a retired Marine, female, right up front. They respected that. My principal, I found out later, was anti military and told me to not reference that again. I quit. The end.

I had a couple boys like that. Each had behavior records a foot long. I made a conscious decision to ignore that information, going out of my way to treat them with respect and a chipper attitude. Worked so well and they were great for me. Taught me a lot.

My daughter was this kid and her elementary school chipped away at her so much, and now she has confidence issues. Her 5th grade teacher was an ANGEL and she just earned her 1st degree decided black belt in taekwondo. I expect kids to be turds, but when it's the adults (esp that early on in their development) it's very hard to undo that damage

I wish someone could have done this for me when I was a child. Love y'all!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This!!!

I agree Literally there is no marker with a good tip Everyone presses the markers down at a force of *2000* newtons

I am DEFINITELY going to try to catch the Baton Rouge show because these kids in Louisiana are not for the faint of heart.🤣

this is why I bring markers for my favorite teachers:D

My mother and her three sisters are all qualified to teach none of them work in the field anymore because it's a lot of work for a little money and no respect.

Were there any repercussions after this video?

Principal Lamb is my new write-in candidate for president of the US.

Ugh.

“Soft times breed soft people.” - (paraphrased horribly but someone smart said it much more eloquently)

You throw something at me I'm wingin it back at your lil ass. Yall tough enough to hit, youre tough enough to get hit back.

My previous comment not withstanding, I once had a senior, in the final days of the year say, "Is it true that a lot of teachers are low key alcoholics?" I said, "Define low key."

Kids should learn to clean...? Infact it's a hug handicap to not be able to clean your own space, that's crazy!!!

Oh they can clean my classroom. Studio care is literally covered in state standards for all four levels of art. They’re not cleaning, they’re doing an assignment.

No lies told😂😂

OMG my teacher in literally 30 seconds
