In my school days tne rule was, and bring enough for evry student in the class. If we needed a drink it was at the one drinking fountain in the hall, and hopefully Trevor hadn't got there first to plug it with chewing gum. No drinks in class.
oK... YEARS ago, in Rhea County TN (where I taught in the school that was the school during the 'Monkey Trials' there) we got word that the inspectors were coming to insure that the school was accessible to the handicapped. They started building ramps all over the place. The ramp that led up into the library was narrow and treacherous looking to begin with - but that's not all! There was a pipe for the STEAM HEAT that ran about a foot off the ground in that doorway. We had to step over it... but i guess they figured a person in a wheelchair could pop a wheelie to get up over it and into our library. WHen the inspector arrived - it was a man IN A WHEELCHAIR! Oh, the gaping mouths and expressions of panic! We teachers were all TRULY enjoying the show. We'd seen it coming!
You are hilarious!! Aussie teacher here. So pleased to know that kids are the same the world over. Thankyou for the laughs...needed them. All the best to you and your colleagues 😁 cheers
Girl! You glow like a sunflower! You carry yourself feminine but strong, no BS and slick as a whip comedic flair. Hoping you and Tell have a great time!
Reminds me of that story about the British parents that tried to sue teachers because their 15 yr old sons refused to put on sunscreen even when teachers asked repeatedly (they were going on a field trip to Spain). The parents claimed the teachers should have applied it to their sons when they kept refusing. All 4 boys got serious sunburns (like I can’t remember but I think it was 4th degree burns or something crazy like that). Or when a high school kid was told by teachers not to slide down the stair rails at the school on multiple occasions, fell one day and the mom tried to sue the school for not physically forcing her son off of the rail. Like we can’t touch them. You didn’t want us to touch them. You can’t turn around and demand we manhandle your children when they are being dumb. The best we’re allowed to do is tell them to stop and try to reason with them (which they aren’t adults, their brains aren’t always at the level parents think they are at- a four year old can be incredibly stubborn and not understand why you’re saying “no” and you can’t scare them into stopping so it’s really a juggling act).
I teach 6th grade Science. My student lab tables have electrical outlets at the tables. About 3 years ago, I had a student put a METAL PAPERCLIP into the outlet at his table! Needless to say there was a zap and flash. He had the imprint of the paperclip burned onto his thumb! Thankfully he ended up being okay, but OMG!
Bro I believe every single story. I worked in Early Childhood Ed which just led me to Preschool. Those parents are SO extra and there are FAR more Karens than you'll ever know. I only worked with kids for 6 months and I HAD to quit, I couldn't take it anymore. Not from the kids but their parents. I have so much respect for all educators. I only dealt with preschool for 6 months. I couldn't imagine being a teacher.
I've worked in early childhood for a few years. Started do small things at 16, went on to get an AA degree in it and finally left at age 29! But you called it. The parents are CRAZZZZY! Some understandable but just crazy. However, a huge reason I am now staying home with my kids (currently pregnant with my first) is because I know that I want more control over my kids and I am so afraid I would be that Karen parent 😬Especially in the baby and toddler room. Sometimes I think that is why preschool parents are extra. Even though I know it is not the teachers fault. So for everyones sanity, I am not putting my child in preschool until around 3. haha. Plus I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom and my husband agree he wants me me home for the first few years. lol.
I have never been a teacher, but I was a school bus driver, 40 years ago. I always said that the kids I could handle but the parents were problems. These stories bring a lot of that back!
I have a story for you, 1st grade classroom. Everyday a student was late about an hour to class, the mom and her boyfriend riding a motorcycle would drive up to the classroom door and bang the tire on the classroom door while gunning the motorcycle, the teacher or I would open the door and let the students in. He sat in the middle of the mom and her boyfriend on the motorcycle . The teacher would speak with the mom everyday however, mom would just look with a blank stare. The mom did this everyday for the whole school year. You could hear the motorcycle coming down the street we would try and meet them at the sidewalk of the school to prevent the horrible loud disruption. Most of the time we would catch them before they reached the classroom door however, There were times they came early or later and we couldn’t leave the classroom to meet them at the curb. Crazy stuff.
I had a 5th grader stick scissors in an outlet. According to the student, the scissors were just "sitting on his back" and stuck themselves in there. I was so glad no one was hurt.
I am not an educator, but my mom was. I grew up hearing crazy stories like these. Listening to these is nostalgic and hilarious. Thanks for sharing and hope you feel better soon from COVID!
Oh I bet they would but the opposite could be true also. My son was in middle school. On a weekend he brought me his PE clothes. I forgot them till Sunday evening as laundry had been done on Friday. So to get them done I stayed up very late.
Whoops. Monday he rushed out. Pe clothing still in the dryer. He called me. I rushed them to the school office. The lady there said I was a bad mother for bringing them because it was not my duty to have my child's back and I had to not be his security backing and I had to let him sink because she said so. Way to fail my son and loose his trust, no way. Say what? Let's say we had a little talk. He did his part. I failed mine. Every person should have someone who can own up and fix what they caused. Not everything that happens is the child's fault but oh boy my children knew it had better not be theirs.
I'm betting that fool who got in jaguar exhibit got beat up for that. The boy who set the bear on fire, I'm betting the girl was like "I dodged a bullet." As a former public school student (and working at customer service) whenever I hear teachers or servers say, "you won't believe this..." I'm all like, "say no more, I know it's the truth." Loved this video
Wild story when I was in 5th grade. I went to school in a small town in Mid Michigan. It was near the end of the school year and the weather was warm. About 20 minutes before school was to let out, the fire alarm went off. This wasn't a planned drill. As it was, we were in the middle of a thunderstorm and the teachers were kind of confused because they didn't really want to send us out in a thunderstorm, but at the same time, they didn't want to die in a fire. We all started going outside and as we filed outside, we could see a tornado forming in the clouds not to far in the distance. That was when the chaos happened. We were all rushed back in, told to get under our desks and wait for the tornado to pass. Fortunately the tornado never touched down. It turned out that the person who triggered the alarm, presumably the Principal, pushed the wrong button and inadvertently sent us out into the tornado! You talk about a lot of pissed off parents!
Well, that was a bit embarrassing for the principal, wasn't it? Some years ago in Texas I was teaching music at an elementary school. It was my first year at this particular school and their first year of having music as part of the school day. They gave me a classroom out in a portable in the back of the school all by myself. There weren't any windows in the portable and no intercom system linked up or phone. And this was in the days that while some folks had cell phones it wasn't like now, when everybody has one. I certainly didn't have one at that time. So no way to get hold of me easily. The weather was stormy which is not unusual in a Texas spring but having no windows I couldn't keep an eye on it. I had a class of kindergarten students and was teaching away when I thought I heard a pounding on the door. I opened it and the SPED teacher was standing in the wind and rain yelling, Run for the building! There's a tornado coming NOW! She and I grabbed all the kinder babies and ran them to the back door and we huddled in our "safe" position in the hallway. The tornado missed us, thank goodness. But the SPED teacher told me later that the whole school had been put into tornado mode sometime earlier but they had forgotten about me out in the back! The kinder teacher had been trying to track down the principal to ask what she should do as her students were out in a dangerous situation. I guess the principal ending telling the SPED teacher to run and save us because the kinder teacher was an older woman and the principal was afraid to send her out in the storm. The SPED teacher was blessedly young and fast! The next year I asked very firmly to be moved into a classroom in the building.
I showed my 13 yr daughter your videos and we both laugh so hard. We absolutely love you! She was like "Mom!! I wish she was my teacher! She has the best personality." 😆 🤣
I love listening to you. It's really sad that times has changed so much, teachers have no rights in the class room. I would be in jail if I had become a teacher.
I want to thank 🙏🏽you from the my heart ❤️ for sharing your story and reaching out to us teachers! GOD Bless You 😇 I am a preschool teacher and I have been a teacher for over 25 years and never have I seen children’s behavior this bad this atrocious even at this age they talk back they spit at us tell us what they don’t want to do yelling at us !!! And I’m from the old school I definitely don’t play that my son never did that at their age I constantly pray before I get to work on my way to work and all doing today I’ll pray for my coworker and I because every day is stressful for us !!! And it’s so sad that no one‘s really doing anything about it !!!! But yes please keep advocating for us I thank you so much God bless you and your Family 😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God bless you!! I'm crying laughing!!!Love the accent and the style! Greek teacher here! I think the parents are to blame for everything!They spoil their kids and have turned them into selfish,rude and lazy brats!The new generation is a disappointment!Every time I spend a few minutes talking to them about good manners and proper behaviour because they don't show respect either to the teachers or their classmates...only few exceptions to the rule out there ..
I actually understand the logic behind the teddy bear fire story. On television, movie, social media, etc. you see people purging their bad relationship vibes by burning their ex's things or the things they were going to give them. People that do that in real life do it outside in a metal trash can with nothing else in the trash can. But he was just a kid and didn't realize that. He did it in front of her to be dramatic and make sure she understood how much pain he was in. He just wasn't thinking about his environment or who else was there.
I did volunteer mom in my sons 3rd grade class. At Thanksgiving parents came for lunch with their child. When we took the children out to recess one mom decided to stay. On the playground she walked up to me and asked how I could stand to be in a classroom with so many wild out of control brats. I was not allowed to say anything about the children to any parent. I just stared at her almost choking trying to be quiet. Why? Her son was the only wild, out of control child brat in the entire two third grade classes. Unbelievable.
Denmark here. The story about the mom driving up the disabled ramp reminds me of myself. About a handful of times from 13-15 year old I was about to bring my bicycle in through the front entrance (parking was just next to the doors and i must have been tired those times) I don't think i ever got past a step past the 2 sets of doors before realizing what I was doing. Usually because I was wondering why it was so difficult that day. luckily there was ever anybody there each time
What a fantastic channel. Listening to these stories takes me back to my time at school and I can't wait for more. You are a treasure that we don't always deserve
My 8th grade boys that were my library aides during lunch decided one day they wanted to see if wood would burn in a microwave so they took a wooden sign I had and put it in the office microwave. They went back to class without telling me about their "experiment" and a few minutes later we see smoke coming out of the vents. I had to call the office and we had to have a fire drill and the fire department came and were looking all over the ceiling for where the smoke was coming from. Then one of them walked out with the burning piece of wood, laughing. It was pretty funny. If they had just told me what they did it would have saved the fire department coming out. They were good kids just curious if wood would burn in a microwave. lol. Now we know.
Your videos need to be shared to parents on the 1st day of school, the crazy stuff teachers have to deal with! Then your list of yea’s and nays given to each parent returned signed by the parent they understand. SH** what am I thinking…. Prayers to you and all the teachers out there.
One of our students always talked about his horses he had. And one day rode one of the horses to school 🤣🤣 I was like 😳 but at the same time laughing 🤣 because like who does that.
I have been a teacher for 36 years. I have watched 9 of your videos now. THEY ARE GREAT! I will be sharing some with my high school students. Thank you.
A parent gets her kid tested for Rona sends her to us and proceeds to call the school at 2:15 to say the test was positive after being in school all day had to quarantine a whole bunch of kids first week .. Is it June? #teacherstories
I love this woman and miss seeing her on the other "teacher funny" views, she used to be on and I don't watch and listen to, so much anymore. She is so honest and funny. I hope the new job is working out.
My alternative school was asked never to return to the Phoenix Zoo when a group of boys was caught in the goat yard pantomiming the scene in The Hangover where one of the characters pretends to have sex with Mike Tyson's tiger. I just didn't even know how to start that story when I had to tell my principal..
I'm off from subbing today, having just finished my student teaching. I should be cleaning my house, but I just can't stop with these stories. Love them!
When my nephew was in school, he convinced his friend to stick a paper clip into a socket. When his friend said he didn't want to be shocked, my nephew responded to stick it in an eraser and then in the socket. It ended up blowing a fuse and starting a little fire.
I read an account of a bunch of French students who visited a wildlife centre in the UK and one of them stole a duck, let it loose on the bus. The duck then crapped everywhere.

In relation to the second story, one time in my ELA class, we were working on a project in pairs. My friend, whose pair was sitting next to mine, plugged her Chromebook charger into the socket, and there was a sudden flash. I didn't pay attention to it at first because I thought the flash was caused by the socket being faulty or something. Then, another flash and the alarms sounded. Turns out, it was a fire drill all along. Also, Mrs. Richardson, I've watched your videos before and I just want to say you have 3 amazing talents. The first one is teaching, you're an awesome teacher and I love the fact that you're telling others' stories. The second one is comedy, you always have a way to make everyone laugh. The third one, is singing. I've seen in some other videos where you've sang a little bit, just a line or two, and it's beautiful. I wish you the best with everything you do!! Have a good day!!
Not surprised by the woman who drove up the wheelchair ramp to avoid getting her hair wet. There was a video where a woman backed into a grocery store to put her groceries in the trunk cause it was raining. Foolishness abounds people.
I was in American history and my friend, who was not the greatest student, asked to go to the bathroom. Teacher said no. So she set the curtains on fire. 😂 we had to evacuate. She went to the bathroom.
My mom had a middle school student stick a paperclip in a lightswitch socket. The kid wasn't shocked fortunately/unfortunately, but my mom had a scorch mark on her wall for years afterward.
I was a pediatric nurse for 30 before retiring. I worked 15 years in a long term care facility. So many of the stories you’re telling sounds like a lot of what we went thru except we had the child AND parent 24 hours a day
The wheelchair ramp. In Australia probably the same in the U.S we have disabled PARKING and EVERYONE parks in there and it drives me NUTS!. Then you see honest disabled people with their disabled passed on their cars trying to get in the disabled parking place. I don’t know why I mentioned this but I DO always say something to the law breakers!!
I grew up disabled (wheelchair user) and my mom would have been the parent to call the police. Now that I'm an adult, I call the police. And I am not sorry.
School custodian here. We have only 40 percent of the toilets working in our boys school restrooms. Maintenance won’t come and fix them so all the boys have to decide where they can go during passing time or just hold it !!
I was subbing as a teacher on a military base that was on lockdown because there was a fox on campus. None of the teachers were ever told why either, I was only told because I was coming in later in the day.
We went on a field trip to the aquarium. One of my students thought it was a good idea to stick his hand in the shark tank to pet an 8 ft long shark!!!
I'm not a teacher but my niece is. I told her that when I was in elementary school if they had your parents written consent to paddle your kid for getting in trouble so one day both my sister and I had to see the principal and she tried to paddle us but my parents didn't tell her we were runners she gave up. At home we took off so the belt would land where it may. Our parents were good parents.
Oohh them lock downs. Once I had to stay after an exam. Thought I was leaving early, nope. Criminal on the run through the back of the campus, helicopters in the sky, its all on the news, my mom call me trying to track me. I texted her im trapped in the room dont even come its going be another 30 min to an hr before im out😒
I was the kid with the electrical socket; two different events. I cut the wires to a plugged in lamp. My sister said I went flying back across the room. I assume I'm not dead because the scissors had a plastic handle. The other is even dumber.
Story 2: How was this kid even able to bring a fork to school? When I was in middle school in the early 2000s, they would have suspended you for bringing such a lethal object to school. My friend got detention for bringing wooden chopsticks to school to eat her lunch with. On the one hand I'm glad the rules have lifted but on the other hand... wtf.
When my sister was in the district honor band in high school they had the rehearsals at the all-boys high school. As she and the other band members from our school were walking through the cafeteria, the entire batch of high school boys there for lunch were getting the riot act read at them because someone had microwaved a shoe.
My mom did ask the bus driver to wake me up when my stop was up. Why, because if I didn’t fall asleep, I would throw up on the bus. I had terrible motion sickness. TERRIBLE.
My cousin stuck the end of a spoon in a light socket as a kid because he was trying to make a perch for his pet budgie…… his arm shock for half an hour afterwards apparently (this happened about 10 years before I was born but heard the story MANY times growing up as kind of a precautionary tale lol)
LMAO transition hands... that is what I'm going to start doing to customers who act a daggum fool... "MA'AM!!! Transition hands!" Look at next Customer "hey love, how are you?"
Not a teacher, but when I was in grade 4 around 1998, there was a deer hunter shooting deer on the school playground. My school wasn't far from a forest and there was no fence around it but still...
I JUST LOVE YOU! I am praying you take off as a performer traveling around the country doing standup for educators!!! I am crying laughing!!!
She could call her comedy special
“ Show and Tell”
EXACTLY! She should have her own TV SHOW!!! SEriously!!
me: "Oh yes, she can have coconut water anytime she. needs. please feel free to send it with her any day you would like". (get it..Send It with her!!"
Loooool coconut water 😂😂😂😂
The funny part is I buy myself coconut water

People that do that in real life do it outside in a metal trash can with nothing else in the trash can. But he was just a kid and didn't realize that. He did it in front of her to be dramatic and make sure she understood how much pain he was in. He just wasn't thinking about his environment or who else was there.
Metal fork kid is the hero.... he made it happen!!
I did volunteer mom in my sons 3rd grade class. At Thanksgiving parents came for lunch with their child. When we took the children out to recess one mom decided to stay.
On the playground she walked up to me and asked how I could stand to be in a classroom with so many wild out of control brats.
I was not allowed to say anything about the children to any parent. I just stared at her almost choking trying to be quiet. Why? Her son was the only wild, out of control child brat in the entire two third grade classes. Unbelievable.
Denmark here. The story about the mom driving up the disabled ramp reminds me of myself.
About a handful of times from 13-15 year old I was about to bring my bicycle in through the front entrance (parking was just next to the doors and i must have been tired those times)
I don't think i ever got past a step past the 2 sets of doors before realizing what I was doing. Usually because I was wondering why it was so difficult that day.
luckily there was ever anybody there each time
What a fantastic channel. Listening to these stories takes me back to my time at school and I can't wait for more. You are a treasure that we don't always deserve
My 8th grade boys that were my library aides during lunch decided one day they wanted to see if wood would burn in a microwave so they took a wooden sign I had and put it in the office microwave. They went back to class without telling me about their "experiment" and a few minutes later we see smoke coming out of the vents. I had to call the office and we had to have a fire drill and the fire department came and were looking all over the ceiling for where the smoke was coming from. Then one of them walked out with the burning piece of wood, laughing. It was pretty funny. If they had just told me what they did it would have saved the fire department coming out. They were good kids just curious if wood would burn in a microwave. lol. Now we know.
Your videos need to be shared to parents on the 1st day of school, the crazy stuff teachers have to deal with! Then your list of yea’s and nays given to each parent returned signed by the parent they understand. SH** what am I thinking…. Prayers to you and all the teachers out there.
I’m glad you explained those transition hands because I don’t watch TikTok. Love your videos! 💕
One of our students always talked about his horses he had. And one day rode one of the horses to school 🤣🤣 I was like 😳 but at the same time laughing 🤣 because like who does that.
I have been a teacher for 36 years. I have watched 9 of your videos now. THEY ARE GREAT! I will be sharing some with my high school students. Thank you.
I about died laughing about the burning Teddy Bear.
A parent gets her kid tested for Rona sends her to us and proceeds to call the school at 2:15 to say the test was positive after being in school all day had to quarantine a whole bunch of kids first week .. Is it June? #teacherstories
WOW I kept mine home until we had the results. What are people thinking?
That’s how I caught it. I quit.
This is why I didn’t allow my boys to attend school in person for the last 2 years. Other people just don’t care about others.
I love this woman and miss seeing her on the other "teacher funny" views, she used to be on and I don't watch and listen to, so much anymore. She is so honest and funny. I hope the new job is working out.
"OoOohh, mah stahrs ya'll!" 🤣 Love your storytimes
My alternative school was asked never to return to the Phoenix Zoo when a group of boys was caught in the goat yard pantomiming the scene in The Hangover where one of the characters pretends to have sex with Mike Tyson's tiger. I just didn't even know how to start that story when I had to tell my principal..
🤣🤣
Love these. I am not a teacher but I am a social worker that works with families and I can relate and have some crazy stories myself lol 😂
I'm off from subbing today, having just finished my student teaching. I should be cleaning my house, but I just can't stop with these stories. Love them!
Oh you make me have much needed laughter in this nutty world. You're beautiful, I love you! So glad I discovered you on CZcams
When my nephew was in school, he convinced his friend to stick a paper clip into a socket. When his friend said he didn't want to be shocked, my nephew responded to stick it in an eraser and then in the socket. It ended up blowing a fuse and starting a little fire.
somebody needs to tell the wheel chair ramp mom about this handy invention called an umbrella.
The kid with the fork that he stuck in a light socket...that's survival of the fittest! 😂😂😂
I read an account of a bunch of French students who visited a wildlife centre in the UK and one of them stole a duck, let it loose on the bus. The duck then crapped everywhere.
You need to market “It’s the audacity for me” shirts!
Glad I subscribed. I am sure getting insight into what today’s teachers endure from day to day. You people are courageous and amazing.
You are awesome!!! Sooo glad we have you to advocate for us!!!
You are hysterical!!! You make me laugh every video! Thanks.
So glad I found you. Love your energy! ❤️❤️❤️
I relisten to your videos almost every day omg lol 😂you are so freaking funny.
HeyKia Ora Best Friend from New Zealand . 🇳🇿 Lord you a breath of fresh air and ray of pure Sunshine to my heart and spirit! Love and Blessings Beautiful Soul. Kia Kaha/Stay Strong! Keep that amazing spirit and humour.
Blessed Be. ✨❤️🌟✨
In relation to the second story, one time in my ELA class, we were working on a project in pairs. My friend, whose pair was sitting next to mine, plugged her Chromebook charger into the socket, and there was a sudden flash. I didn't pay attention to it at first because I thought the flash was caused by the socket being faulty or something. Then, another flash and the alarms sounded. Turns out, it was a fire drill all along.
Also, Mrs. Richardson, I've watched your videos before and I just want to say you have 3 amazing talents. The first one is teaching, you're an awesome teacher and I love the fact that you're telling others' stories. The second one is comedy, you always have a way to make everyone laugh. The third one, is singing. I've seen in some other videos where you've sang a little bit, just a line or two, and it's beautiful.
I wish you the best with everything you do!! Have a good day!!
I would have add fuel to the fire when the boy set that bear on fire. I would have been putting out the fire and jamming to Tearing Up My Heart 🤣
Haha. 🤣🤣
Not surprised by the woman who drove up the wheelchair ramp to avoid getting her hair wet. There was a video where a woman backed into a grocery store to put her groceries in the trunk cause it was raining. Foolishness abounds people.
I love the stories. I use to do Preschool and the stories I would get told On what the kids would see I would get kicked off and blocked lol...
Field Trip time, we’re all afraid to be part of the 6 o’clock news… omg! 😆
OMG you are hilarious. I needed this laugh!
I was in American history and my friend, who was not the greatest student, asked to go to the bathroom. Teacher said no. So she set the curtains on fire. 😂 we had to evacuate. She went to the bathroom.
and that's funny?. idiot
My mom had a middle school student stick a paperclip in a lightswitch socket. The kid wasn't shocked fortunately/unfortunately, but my mom had a scorch mark on her wall for years afterward.
You are the best thing on utube. Thankyou for a good laugh every day
I was a pediatric nurse for 30 before retiring. I worked 15 years in a long term care facility. So many of the stories you’re telling sounds like a lot of what we went thru except we had the child AND parent 24 hours a day
The wheelchair ramp. In Australia probably the same in the U.S we have disabled PARKING and EVERYONE parks in there and it drives me NUTS!. Then you see honest disabled people with their disabled passed on their cars trying to get in the disabled parking place. I don’t know why I mentioned this but I DO always say something to the law breakers!!
Amen
Amen
I grew up disabled (wheelchair user) and my mom would have been the parent to call the police. Now that I'm an adult, I call the police. And I am not sorry.
Americans are usually pretty good about it. Empty disabled spots everywhere you go.
@@cathipalmer8217 BWAHAHAHA! You're hilarious. Signed, a disabled American.
I just love you. Thanks for making me laugh
School custodian here. We have only 40 percent of the toilets working in our boys school restrooms. Maintenance won’t come and fix them so all the boys have to decide where they can go during passing time or just hold it !!
I was subbing as a teacher on a military base that was on lockdown because there was a fox on campus. None of the teachers were ever told why either, I was only told because I was coming in later in the day.
What about a fox??? Did they fear it'd go amok?😉
Loved the story of the kid jumping into the jaguar pit at the zoo.
You have me LMAO with this. I can relate
Those years... Educating... Raising your blood pressure... and gathering material
Pure joy! ❤️
Giiirl…The kid that set the teddy bear on fire. Most def got an episode of “ Forensic File” with his name on it. 😵💫😵💫
It's the "ma'am" and literally anything after that for me!!!!
Yo fam, I love your channel, used to work as a social worker and paraprofessional! Keep this stuff coming
And that’s how he got his super powers 🍴🦸🏼♂️🤦🏽♀️😂😂
You are hilarious!!!
I could listen to you all day i keep laughing i am typing with one finger so no fancy endings
We went on a field trip to the aquarium. One of my students thought it was a good idea to stick his hand in the shark tank to pet an 8 ft long shark!!!
Guess that kid won't be sticking folks in any sockets again
I'm not a teacher but my niece is. I told her that when I was in elementary school if they had your parents written consent to paddle your kid for getting in trouble so one day both my sister and I had to see the principal and she tried to paddle us but my parents didn't tell her we were runners she gave up. At home we took off so the belt would land where it may. Our parents were good parents.
Audacity! I am with you on that one. 😀
The wheelchair ramp lady-how did she get it back down? Seems like she’d have had to back down the ramp. If she could do it before the police came!
Oohh them lock downs. Once I had to stay after an exam. Thought I was leaving early, nope. Criminal on the run through the back of the campus, helicopters in the sky, its all on the news, my mom call me trying to track me. I texted her im trapped in the room dont even come its going be another 30 min to an hr before im out😒
Ummm...I'm Mexican can I request an horchata water for my child? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was the kid with the electrical socket; two different events. I cut the wires to a plugged in lamp. My sister said I went flying back across the room. I assume I'm not dead because the scissors had a plastic handle. The other is even dumber.
Story 2: How was this kid even able to bring a fork to school? When I was in middle school in the early 2000s, they would have suspended you for bringing such a lethal object to school. My friend got detention for bringing wooden chopsticks to school to eat her lunch with. On the one hand I'm glad the rules have lifted but on the other hand... wtf.
When my sister was in the district honor band in high school they had the rehearsals at the all-boys high school. As she and the other band members from our school were walking through the cafeteria, the entire batch of high school boys there for lunch were getting the riot act read at them because someone had microwaved a shoe.
My mom did ask the bus driver to wake me up when my stop was up. Why, because if I didn’t fall asleep, I would throw up on the bus. I had terrible motion sickness. TERRIBLE.
Take a dramamine before leaving the house
My cousin stuck the end of a spoon in a light socket as a kid because he was trying to make a perch for his pet budgie…… his arm shock for half an hour afterwards apparently (this happened about 10 years before I was born but heard the story MANY times growing up as kind of a precautionary tale lol)
Bet he won’t do it again 😂😂😂😂😂 I love your channel!!
Light socket kid actually made me lol!
You are so funny!!
The sheer foolishness that these people do!!!OMG I CANT EVEN
LMAO transition hands... that is what I'm going to start doing to customers who act a daggum fool... "MA'AM!!! Transition hands!" Look at next Customer "hey love, how are you?"
Same thing happened when my daughter was student teaching. (Gunman)
America educates all. If we still want to do this thenwe need a new plan
Not a teacher, but when I was in grade 4 around 1998, there was a deer hunter shooting deer on the school playground. My school wasn't far from a forest and there was no fence around it but still...
