- In this episode, we're joined by special and hilarious guest @Comedianeddieb! We share the most uncomfortable parent-teacher conferences we've ever had... From parents not believing actual camera footage of their child assaulting another kid, to the helicopter parent asking their child's teacher to text her every time her precious angel poops at school.
To end the show, we try the weirdest and grossest snacks students LITERALLY eat at 8:00am every day. This may or may not go well...

The fact that *no one else on the show* got what Eddie was talking about when he was talking about Chick-Fil-A workers and McDonald's/Popeyes students cracked me up. That line had me cackling.
I knew exactly what he meant when he was talking about Chick-fil-A versus Popeyes and McDonald's. Those Chick-fil-A kids are going somewhere. Those other kids may be in same situation for the rest of their lives.
Some kids might be going through different situations at home.
@@kayleegoff141 That's true, but part of growing up and functioning in society is still treating people with kindness and basic respect despite what you have going on. Which isn't to say ignore your trauma or not get treatment, or that it's your fault if you don't have access: it means that you can't take your feelings out on random people for no reason
And just to assure I'm not blaming the kids, I was one of them and I still don't have access to proper therapy. I know what it means to be young and mistreated or abused by everyone around you, but if I didn't change how I was treating people I would have been in an even worse place than I was then. It's not easy and we need to get more resources and support for those kids, but at some point you also need to work on yourself with what you have. It's hard when you have no framework but it's possible
@ teachers off duty podcast
No that was stupid and a teacher shouldnt be comparing students to overworked fastfood workers and implying that if you work at McDonalds you're a "failure" of some sort. I wouldnt want this ghetto "comedian" ever teaching one of my kids. Seems like ignorant trash.
we miss mrs rogers and mrs richardson.
@@melodieeab ok
Yes bring them back please!!
Ikr!
❤❤ same. I love them and the remaining people, but do miss them
Does anyone know why they left?
When my oldest daughter was in preschool, age 3.5 she was very quiet at school and non-stop at home, including reading out loud. During the Christmas program she stood on stage with probably 30 other kids and just didn’t even move her lips, just silent. As soon as we got in the van to go home she sang every song of the entire program with gusto!!!! She’s now 24 with a B.A. in creative writing and still quiet in public and nonstop chatter when she comes over to visit.
What job does she do? I am a college student and have been thinking about switching my major to creative writing.
So sweet🌹
Now I understand fully why my sons teacher's thanked me for communicating, and being involved. I was young and assumed that all parents were involved at the level I have always been. Education is important.
I've been working as a certified teacher for almost 25 years. My main philosophies: "I am your teacher, not your friend." "You give respect and you get respect" "You Choose the Behavior, You Choose Consequences"
Thats amazing advice!!
Completly agree! When we can make kids (and adults) realize that they aren't being punished by some outside source it is a game changer. Like you said when we choose a behavior we are also choosing the reaction to that behavior regardless of it being good or bad. GAME CHANGER IN LIFE
Yes!! Me too, I would add "focus on positive reinforcements".
Teachers often forget it goes both ways. I've seen teachers be worse bullies than students.
Why can't these Psychology majors stop pointing fingers and just do their damn job? Most parents work year round, not the eight and a half months a teacher works. Most adults get just two weeks vacation time each year, while a public schoolteacher has the exact same vacation schedule as a six year old. Good grief, they want us to believe that a Holocaust survivor has got nothing on an American public schoolteacher. What is so difficult about this entry level "can someone please start my orange" government job? The taxpayers see to a teachers every need. All a teacher has to do is maintain a pulse and keep their shoelaces tied, if their job requires them to wear shoes, as some teachers in Oregon teach in their barefeet. If the teachers unions demanded that each teacher be assigned a person to wipe their ass or they go out on strike, trust and believe they would get one. Why do American politicians allow teachers union to de facto run our country?
😂😂😂 eddie is keeping it real. he said grandparents are 36 years old these days 😂😂 💀
My Grandma WAS the classroom grandma for my little sister's kindergarten class and then STAYED on for the next 5 years. The teacher and her family are still part of our family. This was over 20 years ago. ❤️
My daughter had a teacher who was absolutely INCREDIBLE. She had this Teacher for 3rd grade and then when she was going into 5th grade she got the same teacher. She flourished with that teacher. I loved her so much. And I gave her gift cards, and she loved doing crafts. So I would get her a craft whenever I found a cool one.She ended up leading a craft group and I was part of. We become friends when she was in 4th grade. And I told her not to be worried my daughter knew and expect special treatment. She didn't know we were friends. And she actually had my daughter excelling in 5th grade. And she was able to even tutor her for her difficult subjects.
Eddie, thank you for working in alternative schools!! I’ve been to 2 and school was our only highlight of the day. The teachers really make a difference I’m now at home and I still think about those teachers. They really are hero’s, so thank you!
It makes me so sad hearing how uninvolved parents are in their child’s education:( I remember parent teacher conference nights and it wouldn’t be that packed . My mom was a single mom with very minimal support working 50 plus hours a week in corporate and running her own business. She always came to my parent teacher conferences and encouraged me to and helped me to do well in school even tho she knew I didn’t really like school that much she was still very much present.
I feel like schools definitely need some kind of counseling for children. The social workers in my school seem to dump it off on the teacher and make us feel like it's our problem in our fault
My mom was the stereotypical immigrant parent who only took A's. Like I got an 87 and I cried. Then I had this one teacher, I got straight F's, I was written up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Literally every day, my mom had to stop coming because her work couldn't keep letting her go to my school at the same time every day. Before that teacher I had never been written up, I had never struggled in school, no teacher had any complaints, the other teacher I had that same year (we had one for math and science, and another teacher for history and English) adored me and was shocked to hear the other hated me so much. The second teacher tried her best to stand up for me.
My mom was super upset with me for all of one week before seeing the pattern and talking to my other teacher to confirm I wasn't just being a brat. After that she went from super attentive, "I'm so sorry, I will make sure she doesn't ever do that again." to "Yeah, yeah, I know she's in trouble, like always. I'll sign the write-up when she gets home." Can you imagine how bad a teacher has to be for a latina "I didn't move to this country and work my butt off for you to not get good grades!" mom to just brush off F's for a whole year?
What I hated most was when she'd give an assignment, she'd change the rules after it was turned in. So even though my answers were correct, they'd be wrong because I, along with half the class, didn't follow the rules that she didn't give us until we turned it in. The teacher retired after my class. I've had amazing teachers, me and my mom just really hated that one.
I had to laugh when I heard Tell talk about the parent who wanted to be alerted whenever their child pooped. I taught first grade for years, and one of my co-workers had a parent get angry because the teacher refused to wipe the woman's son when he pooped at school!
School Counselor here!
Thank you for speaking up & recognizing the work that we do!
I work in a rural area and I can confirm our caseloads are extremely large and we do need more counselors.
Would love to see a guidance counselor on future episodes ☺️
Haha we used to have “room moms” in the early grades (this was in the early 90s!) They would help out on a day with a big craft, make phone calls to get things for classroom parties, stuff like that. That’s what I thought of when you were talking about class grandmas 💖
And him being at HISD... the kids there are a whole different breed. I've been to multiple different school districts growing up and there was so much more chaos than I was used to. I saw more fights there in a year than all my other schools combined and even saw teachers get hit. The crime and violence in the area is seriously affecting the kids and all my friends who teach there went from being really happy people to being on the edge of a mental breakdown
you get some parents that don't want what is good for their child, like a middle school student that can't do the work,but the parent refuses to put them in EC. Yet the coward principal will pass them even if they should have failed
Ok This behavioral therapist is hooked. I work with autistic kids with extreme behavioral issues. In an all inclusive public school in LA county.
Parents with kids with special needs are a whole level of cray cray but also some of the best!! Thank you for your channel
The issue I have is when you have all those levels and then you have like 3 or 4 high achieving kids who are stuck there wanting to cry their eyes out in boredom
I taught Head Start in an urban environment for 15 years. Lots of great kids, lot of great parents. But lots of entitled (or ignorant) parents as well. Way to many crazy stories to tell. Also, Mr. Williams is so right about a just turned 3 year old to the 5 year olds who just missed the cut-off for Kindergarten. Like having a 1st grader and a 5th grader in the same class.
"Jesus, get yo' crooked disciple." I have said that so many times in 12 years between teaching high school and college and now as an administrator.
Eddie B is hilarious
Yes he is do funny
14:14 "Parents know they kids" onwards is hilarious! 14:54 "Ma'am you need to call the police, okay, because I'm thoroughly convinced there's a stranger in your house." 😂
Oof guidance counselors being there for the kids hit me hard. My GC didn’t understand mental health at all and would send me random motivational speeches on CZcams during the day to “fix” my depression. She told all the staff I had depression when I’ve never been diagnosed with that. I had/have severe anxiety and cPTSD. At one point my senior year I got severely sick and was too weak to leave the house, so my GC convinced the dean I was skipping due to “depression” (which is already messed up) so they drove to my apartment while my mom was at court, she knocked on my door for 10+ minutes insisting I let her in. I did and she made me go to school, wouldn’t leave my apartment until I went with her. I collapsed in the hallway from being so sick and she told me I “looked great” with all the weight I lost and that I needed to be there. They never informed my mother so she came home to me not there and only knew because she asked my girlfriend. The only reason it wasn’t pushed to have consequences was because graduation was months away… I’m pretty sure she’s still at that school 6 years later and I hope she isn’t literally taking kids from their home still 🥲
Been awhile since we had a good laugh! I also call this episode cultural differences of teachers.
We have Classroom Grandmas in my district, and I have to say they are absolute lifesavers.
i did too, they're amazing!!
What does that mean? My youngest just graduated and I've missed helping out in the classroom, especially since my boys left elementary school! I loved doing all the parties and helping out. I use to go up every week!
@@TNEsteeW some districts will allow for parent/grandparent volunteers- reach out to your school district if you're interested because I bet they could let you help out!
My ex went to a Catholic private school, and his parents would definitely be the ‘my kid doesn’t do that at home’ kind.
EXCELLENT episode!! Great conversation!
I wish I had you guys as teachers, it would be soooo cool
My parents were friends with my teachers, went to school/friends with my high school principal, and my cousin was my high school gym,
/weight lifting coach/ basketball couch/ tennis coach. I graduated with 30 credits with college ones counted. I was a rebellious teen and they together made my school life the way it was. I was still successful because of the team work. I appreciate that now. ❤
I'm a bus driver parent so I partially share the joy of having the students. That being said, I have been known to spoil my kids teachers to the best of my financial ability. Like one year with tax money I paid for Pizza Hut in my town to deliver pizzas to the Elementary, Middle, and High School for my district because I had one kid in each.
I used to be a para. I seriously think the main reason they don't have volunteers in the classrooms anymore is because of confidentiality. We don't have anymore in Springfield Vermont.
That’s hilarious because we all know the kids go home and say “YEAH! BILLY THREW A TABLE AND KICKED THE TEACHER TODAY!”
I am loving the links to the full episodes ❤️🙌🏽
The most interesting gift I have ever received when I taught 1st grade was a handmade, silk, with beads and coins, belly dancing belt 😳 🤪😂 So random!
I love watching your videos and it absolutely FLOORS me how so many parents are with you guys. My daughter is just shy of 2 and has been in daycare since 5 months and even at this young of an age we have had situations where I worried the teacher may not like her and/or I was surprised with a behavior they said she was having at school that seemed out of character. But every time that happens I just tell them that it seems out of character but that I will do what I can to address it if/when she does that thing at home. Any time I've been concerned the teacher is singling out my daughter I simply try to build up the relationship with that teacher so I feel more comfortable with them, and have an open conversation if need be. There is no reason to be hateful toward these underpaid saints who don't just teach out kids but care for them and show them love!
Wouldn't it be nice if all of the "underpaid saints" in America got the same attention as public schoolteachers? But the pay can't be all that bad when one considers the fact that there are 3.2 million schoolteachers on America's payroll. If the job is as horrific as the teachers unions and the education lobby in Washington say it is the profession would have went the way of the buggy whip and your local blacksmith a long time ago, but that hasn't happened at all has it?
I’m so glad there is HeadStart representation. We are under represented and taken for granted.
Entitled people need to release the world does NOT revolve around them and need to realize we all have to do our part and no one asked for there opinions
I agree, all schools should have a full time person to help kids with mental health. The guidance counselor at the school near me makes schedules and teaches classes. If kids need anything to do with mental health or are in crisis, there’s no one at the school for that.
I definitely feel like a parent's involvement can depend on the tax bracket in some cases (not all) my school was full of poor families and a mention of anyone's parents got an eye roll a lot of times, because they were either absent, or working and didn't have time to deal with their kids. A few times they did show up it was shocking. My dad came to a parent teacher night in highschool and he was one of like ten we saw in the whole school. Most parents didn't show up. Once my school had this parent sit in thing where if a kid was acting up then thier parent could come in and "monitor" them, and two girls called the bluff but their mom's actually showed up and that was a surprise to everyone that their moms actually cared
i was a barbara😭😂😂😂 i be doing well in school and "shy" but at home it's a 180
I'm a secondary teacher and I am that parent who is so surprised by the good behavior of my son. Ahahahaha. He is a butthead at home but an angel in school. Hahahah
I don't know how I found you guys because I'm not a teacher, but I wanted to let Tell know I've never met another person named Tell. It's also my cousin's name!
Listening to these stories, makes me so grateful for my upbringing and where I went to school. My mom was the PTA president when I was in elementary school too and it was so cool to me.❤
I actually know Ms. Miller. She was my 7th grade teacher back in middle school. I believe she’s still working there.
I love your videos. I am a parent and def been through a lot of this. I have had some pretty hard teachers to deal with, have YOU guys had any experiences as teachers with other teachers where you questioned if they should be the aching children?
When I was studying psychology I actually went and sort of shadowed my best friends mom because she was a sped teacher at an alternative charter school and it broke my heart to see kids who want support desperately and their parents wouldn't see the need for it. Yall dont get paid enough.
My kid's teachers constantly tell me how much they appreciate my involvement in my kid's education. I just want my kids to do as well as I know they can, my kids aren't going to come to me on their own when they need help. The only way I will know when my kids are struggling is if their teachers reach out and tell me. I honestly wish I got more interaction and feedback from the teachers of my middle and high schoolers.
My aunt used to come in once a week when I was in elementary school and read a story to my class. I've offered to do similar, even spending full days at the school to help out, volunteering to assist teachers who might need help, doing random odd jobs teachers don't really have time to do, but I can help do.
"They gave you your condiments, didn't even give you your burgers..." You made my morning!
I enjoyed you all. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am so glad you have him on your show! Love me some Eddie B!
I have been waiting for Eddie to join the cast.. this will be funnyyyy
The reason the private schools parents are uninvolved is bc they work their asses off...same goes for public school parents. But more so with tuition.
This was such a great show.
Never heard of a classroom grandma
Being a teacher is almost as bad as being a Walmart manager.
That's nothing. Someone in the chat compared schoolteaching to combat duty, you know, where one can see people dying all around them. Yeah, I saw that in the chat.
I literally laughed out loud when he explained the Popeye and McDonald's kids versus the Chick-fil-A ones.
Me too
My teacher had her son in class one time because his teacher SLAPPED HIM DURING A FIRE DRILL FOR GETTING OUT OF LINE
Omg that’s illegal where I’m from.😮
@Brandi Saine it's illegal here too, (the US), she just must have been waaaay too stressed
I'm entertained by Tell's belief that you have to be good at math to placed in a math class. Too often schools will take any warm body to fill a math position.
Some schools at least try to get someone with an understanding of math. Like when I was in high school the wood shop teacher also taught math but that makes sense. Like if you teach calculus you can be able to at least get by teaching physics
Eddie is great. I love him.
yeah...yeah...mhmmmm....yes...exactly. Mr. Williams cracks me up
started my first year in preschool 3-4 yr olds and these parents are hilarious to say the least
I find it disturbing that a teacher would call some children crap.
Children who arent putting their best feet forward are the ones who are struggling. Without a teacher who believes in the potential of a child, they will never succeed.
He said crop…. Not crap…. Cream of the crop
@@customdenali7498He said "Cream of the crop, you know, crop with an a"
18:30 the unison 😂😂😂😂
Omg tell, I identify with you SO MUCH in this episode 😭 I'm on year 7, we've been through a pandemic and I teach day preschool in a title one(low income/at risk) district and im already feeling burnt
We got all levels in electives!!! Class room management has to be on point.
Crazy seeing someone from HISD on here. It's very close to where I'm at and I have friends that work for that school district
I Love Eddie B videos he is so hilarious
I try to be involved but not in the way. My son has autism, ADHD, odd. I make it a point to at least have a phone call with every teacher he's going to be with. When we hit the end of every 6 wks I send them all a chocolate bar and a 10$ gift card. I normally do the local grocery store so they can get some beer or wine lol.
I really wish this podcast existed when i was in school. I would have respected my teachers so much more seeing them as people instead of how I saw them.
LOVE YOU GUYS 💕💕💕
My son started Kindergarten this year and it’s been a STRUGGLE! He gets so overwhelmed and it comes out in bad behaviors. The first month or more of school was AWFUL. He started doing a lot better and now he’s acting out again. He’s in therapy. Adhd. These kids that were raised during Covid are having a hard time. My sons grades are great though. It’s stressing me out…
My nephew went to kindergarten. He was smart but wasn't as mature as most of the kids. The school asked if he could redo kindergarten for the next year and his parents agreed. There were 4 others left back with him. He and the other children excelled in the retake of kindergarten. I am happy to say that he became a Mechanical Engineer and is a great dad and husband. Being left back did not affect him negatively at all.
Oh Eddie B....within the first 3 min....Spot on.....More true than you want this to be.
Lol my guidance counselors through orimary school never gave me the time of day when the bus driver was shot and died, when my parents divorced, but when I was 10 Minutes late to school when I had no first period (online PE yall) the counselor cleared her schedule and chewed me out for half an hour.
My son just turned 6 in October. He was eligible for kindergarten this year. At this point, I'm certain putting him in public school would just get him in trouble. He's reading on a 3rd grade level and doing 2nd grade everything else. And he's high strung. That kid has one speed. Go. I know he's a little monster but I got it.
Some of these parents have had their kids stolen by the fairies. Changelings in their house.
Junior/senior year of highschool I went to a trade school for half the day. One of my friends brought in a bottle of jack as a Christmas present for the teacher.
All my children went to head start and yes each of them had a class grandma and I loved them all
I detest takis! They smell disgusting and I looked up the ingredients one time. . . it mostly looked to be chemicals. And they smell like vinegar to me.
I volunteer whenever I get the opportunity to. I want to see how my kid does in class because it's so hard to get any info from him.😂
I had a classroom grandma! Lol
Yo everything said was straight facts.
Ive been volunteering for 6 years now starting in prek. Now that I’m in my final year of an elementary Ed degree and still volunteering (until I’m in my final semester of student teaching). I’m hoping i put enough good karma into the world and I get a volunteer when I graduate and get a classroom.
So this is it? All y’all the official cohost. Are my girls never coming back? If anyone knows please let me know. I’m staying either way but this is just weird to not say anything.
Also ms. Rogers isn’t a teacher anymore and neither is Bri.
@@tindee3052 that has nothing to do with it lol I started the podcast as not a teacher
@@Rebecca.Rogers roger that, mrs. rogers! 🌝
@@Rebecca.Rogers oh ok. Sorry.
@@Rebecca.Rogers I miss you Mrs. Rogers!
I would love to be on your show as a teacher of 23 years I feel like I have some insight I could give people with a sense of humor at that
When teaching parochial school I had to remind a nosy obnoxious mother visiting my classroom during a boisterous Christmas party that the kids weren’t afraid of me, even though I was a man, because even they knew that the teachers weren’t allowed to beat them anymore, so if the kids knew that, they why didn’t the parent? Was she perhaps running some internal dialogue reminiscing about the good old days when the nuns used to beat the kids with yardsticks? Fortunately I came to my senses and walked out of the building just prior to spring break when the principal, a nun, started shrieking at me in front of the kids for permitting them to bring their sleds to school after she’d gone on the PA system and told them that everyone should bring their winter clothing the following day so they could all go out back to play in the snow on the side of the hill, which was suggestive of the common practice there of bringing their sleds to school. Parents are nothing but shit in my book. I quit to return to sea as a merchant seaman. When I got tired of that after eight years I went to barber college. I then spent 20 years in the barber trade. After all, I had an all male clientele with the exception of a few lesbians who wanted men’s haircuts, no inventory, no paperwork, and no payroll. If a kid refused to sit still I would l simply cancel the remainder of the haircut. If an adult was unreasonable such as demanding to know whether or not I could cut hair, I would simply tell them “I give haircuts not interviews” then go back to reading the newspaper or whatever it was that I’d been doing when the asshole wandered in. When you’re dealing with the public you’re dealing with assholes. That’s why it’s always best to be self employed so you can refuse unwanted business. And no, I don’t want to teach barber college. One of the crazy parents at the local barber college pulled a gun on a student barber working on a little boy because “he was too slow”.
I like this teacher he seems like he be kicking butt 😂😂😂
I understood that Chick-fil-A Popeyes McDonald's analogy right away lol
I see the Chic fil a vs McDonald’s kids joke went over ALOT of ppl head 🤦🏾♀️ 🤦🏾♀️
As soon as I saw the word, "entitled" in the title, I just knew that I had to watch this cuz I love when people talk about entitled people.
"MICKEY MOUSE" had me rolling oml
I worked as an instructional assistant and one year I was signed to the middle school and we had a student who was going home crying to mommy everyday that he was being bullied. It became my job to follow him around from the start of school to the end of the day, everyday. It was supposed to only be for a month to show mom this was not happening. It ended up being for the whole school year. Multiple times a day, everyday that school year I got told Fu and F off, because he was mad that I was following him. I then had to go home and take care of my own kids. If I could have quit, I would have.
Chic fila workers Lmaoooooooooo don’t sleep on the McDonald’s kids they value tradition and rights of passage 😂😂😂😂
Homeschooled being fascinated by this study of foreign culture.
JaDemon lol😂 this guy is funny
This guy is hilarious.
Our school actually partners with a local facility and their therapist come to school
I had 1 class grandma in second grade and she was the last one in the system. I’m in high school now
I love your vids
in elementary i had classroom grandmas i wondered why when i was in grade school and i go to school in NY state
Yea I was a student that went to A.I.S.D and we heard about H.I.S.D students and talked to a couple who transfered. What he said is true. I believe hes defenitely been through some things in the school system other teachers havent had to see or experience yet.
