I taught as a early childhood educator. If our district supported us, great teachers would not leave the profession. I was not supported nor valued at my district. Good for you girl!!!

You go girl. I had a nervous breakdown as a teacher and had to resign

Whoever It was that said, you couldn't have given 2 weeks. You gave 2,3,4, etc. weeks. Those that needed to be informed already knew what was going on but conscientiously chose to not do anything to make a difference. They wanted you to go an extra mile by informing them again so that they could possibly make things a little easier on them when they are left in the dark. The Board Of Education knows how your principal is and he knows that nothing will be done.

Sis. you don't even have to say that you aren't trying to demonize the kids. These kinds of things are going on all over. It's intentional. You won't get support from most principals and etc... because they are going along with things because they want to keep their jobs they are going along with the power structures that be in place.

Has this child been evaluated? Has there been a home evaluation? It almost sounds as if she may be crying for help in the only way she knows…

Thank you for doing what you are doing!God bless 🙏 you.

😮 Very very interesting 😮! I wanted to be a teacher but after this .....

I was hanging out with my friend, Tam (RIP Tamala), at her mom’s and we were jawing at the kitchen table. Tam responded to someone her mom said by saying she (Tam) was an angel. I said, so was Lucifer, b🤬tch! Her and Ms. Doris about fell out their chairs onto the floor 🤣😂🤣😂 I’d like to think she’s someone reluctant shoulder angel giving advice on how to be even more petty in a conflict

Good Girls vibes.

These are the peoples teaching our kids

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Really sad stuff, not surprising that they're apathetic zombies by middle school.

We need better paper towels and toilet paper.

Girl I am so over the heat too. FL was under that heat dome. It was 99 degrees on Sunday. Way too hot for June, even for FL.

Yes yes yes. I quit teaching and pulled all three of my kids out of public school. The insanity of ALL of it... too much for grown folks, too much for kids. So so so fun to meet you tonight at the world's best ice cream shop!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Aww man i wish I would tell a lie like my child is a little Angel. Both of my sons are Tristons just one is going into 3rd grade the other in 8th.

I listen to these as someone who is 15 and is still in high school and wants to be a future, and i feel bad for teachers because they deal with so much stuff, including disrespectful student's and i want to say if your a teacher bless your heart and most kids need to learn to be nice to each other and hearing some of these stories is so shocking and i want to thank you for uploading these and advocating and i hope that the kid who hit his teacher learned his lesson

I love it!!!!!!!😂

Had a coworker who would call the principal if she saw me leave 2 min early. Principal called me to the office and told me this. I whipped out the library receipt I had with the checkout of 20 books on the history of the US, with the date and time stamp on it. I said I can't work at a school with tattle tales, I know I'm a good teacher, I'll just go work somewhere else....I was never called to the office again about anything. This just bunched Miss know it alls panties all in a bunch. Saw her 20 years later and just said, "Oh my God. You still alive?" and started laughing. This job is way too hard not to be on each other's side. period.

The way that they gaslight us is crazy to me I had two boys fighting the other day and as I was walking over their too tell them to stop one boy hit the other and I addressed the class and stepped out and as I was having a conversation with this boy he tells me I think you have the wrong boy that wasn’t me are you confused.like 🤔 huh

Oh no, some of these stories sound downright traumatic! I really do feel for teachers today. 😢

Truth is when they don't care about you, you have to care about you. Unfortunately you're right when you're good and you care sometimes you are punished. Too often the people who make the decisions don't listen to the people who do the work. Thank you for what you do I love your content.❤

Yo she got a pro South Africa take? Fuck bro, that’s some next level

I am 30 years old. Things were never this bad when I was a kid. Sure you had kids who acted out but they never dared to threaten the teachers or God forbid put their hands on a teacher. My parents raised me to be respectful and kind. I am horrified that things seem to have gotten this bad in only a few years. Shame on any parent who lets their kids do whatever they want!

No truer words have EVER been spoken....😢

Can we also talk about the parents not helping these kids be able to read and write

“My little angel?” Yes ma’am. Lucifer was an angel😇👹👺

Im with Bree!

Teachers get the worst of it, but arent the only ones. Bus drivers put up with the same exact problems on a smaller scale. Im sure janitors, councilors, child nutrition etc...all have stories too. Al least we arent trapped in classrooms like teachers and paras.

That is some kid logic at work 😂

Orthopedic shoes 👞!!!❤

Jesus christ I wanted to listen...I tried to listen...but the story telling killing me.....20 min setup for 10secs of what happened.....I'm out

I know this was a long time ago for you, but I just saw your video today, and it was like someone describing my own experience. I taught high school for a year and a half; in the half year, I was teaching two complete programs with a double prep buyout (so no prep for me at all), and they promised that I would have a full time instructional aide to help me. I 5 classes each day, between 30-53 kids in each. I also directed two theater productions, one a musical, and designed/built the sets and costumes. Did I ever get the instructional aide? No. Did I send many emails (cc'd my union rep)? Yes. I presented multiple candidates for the position- like you , I'm a solution- forward complainer. Nothing . The night before the show,, I collapsed at the school alone at 9pm in a hypertensive crisis similar to yours. I was barely able to call my wife, who had to just about break into the school to get to me on the floor, and I was taken away by ambulance. The next day, my wife calls in to tell them what happened. Did a single member of my department, or admin, text or email to ask if I was ok? No. All that I got was, "Well, then, we're going to postpone the musical till you're able to return." I explained that if they were not going to give me the aide I was promised, I could not and would not return to the overwhelming and toxic environment. I was banned from campus, not allowed to communicate with my students, who thought I had just abandoned them and walked out; the music teacher who took over the musical told everyone that I just didn't show up on the day of opening night and then quit. I was not even allowed on campus to see the show when it finally opened; I couldn't send my seniors the graduation gifts I had bought. When I went in to get my personal things, they had the campus police in my room to "supervise" me. I finished that year on FMLA (workers comp was denied) and then went back to elementary, where an old friend who is a principal was thrilled to finally get me. However, when he called my high school for due diligence, they told him that I was high maintenance, constantly emailing and demanding more help when they had already given me all the support they could. They told him not to hire me. And then they brought an investigation on me, for (among other cray cray stuff) telling my students that my dog was nonbinary and forced them to use they/them pronouns when talking about my dog. Yes. My DOG. What I call my dog was a reason to investigate me as a teacher. Thank God for my union and my new principal. The hearing was a complete circus, which was obvious to everyone there. In my new school (it is SO much better), I had a class like the one you were describing. All the behaviors, all the IEPs, all the 504s were in one class. They had drama between them that went back to 3rd grade- Pre-K, some of them - and I often had to call admin to help break it up. The difference is, my admins support me, and don't judge me by it. I can handle a tough class, as long as I know when I press that red button on the wall, help is coming. If they were anything like my last admin, I would have done exactly what you did, and left my keys on the desk. No one but teachers truly get what it's like to be a teacher, alone in a classroom with 30+ kids who are already angry at the world, embarrassed and frustrated that they are behind academically and will likely never catch up, have ongoing trauma at home, and for some a disability that prevents them from regulating their response to a chaotic environment. Kudos to you for putting yourself and your baby girl first. None of these situations is worth the mental and physical health of the people who are pouring their souls into those kids every day.

You are so hilarious 😂😂😂❤❤

I am 75 years old. I LIVED the years when parents spanked children. I've NEVER seen anything wrong. I do not believe it teaches children violence, AS LONG AS IT IS SPANKING NOT BEATING. To me spanking is one to three smacks, with an open hand, on the buttocks. Occasionally ONE facial slap, with an open hand, might be called for. When minding others children in my youth, these measures were never delivered without warning. My usual progression was to ASK the child, TELL the child, WARN of impending punishment and ONLY THEN follow through. Such behaviour is a promised CONSEQUENCE, not a beating. I have watched a lot of Supernanny, and I admire her. BUT I think the reason her timeouts succeed is because she FOLLOWS THROUGH and is consistent when the parents have just been too lazy to provide consistent consequences. I say it is time to regress a little. BUT THE BIGGEST FLAW IN TODAY'S PARENTING IS LACK. Kids are lucky to GET actual parenting, let alone consistent, consequential parenting.

This is crazy, wow!!

😂😂😂😂😂 Not my Pops he was Savage he would have told you do what you will!!❤❤❤❤

Amen!!! I was Para at my kid's school and when I tell you.....that was the most stressful job I've ever had! Between admin not taking control and parents not caring, it was a sh*t show...it is really sad. My blood pressure was up every single day. I didn't make it through the whole school year because I couldn't take a chance of getting majorly sick because of that place and not be able to do for my own children. I don't blame you for your decision at all!

Teaching is horrible these days. 26 years for me and I'm out asap. Congrtaz for getting out!!

Preaching to the choir!!!!

First year teacher here and I feel like I’m gonna have to record my own responses to these questions and then respond again in 15 years LOL I want to reach that level of unbothered

You keep going baby girl. You are doing so much more than I can.

Now that I'm out of the profession the health difference that I see in us, once break starts, is really profound.
