    When I was a freshman in high school I baked banana bread for my teachers. I hated P.E. and didn’t want to give anything to my P.E. teacher. My mom noticed a loaf was missing and called me out on it. She said, “You either give one to all of your teachers or none. When they are in the teacher lounge and talk about getting gifts, how do you think she will feel?” I grumpily made one for my P.E. Teacher, and when I gave it to her she almost cried. She said, “I’ve never gotten a gift before. Students don’t usually give us anything cause we just teach gym.” After that the teacher and I both made an effort to appreciate each other and discovered that we both liked to read mysteries. She eventually asked me, “Why do you hate gym so much?” I explained that I felt uncomfortable exercising in front of the boys hanging out on the bleachers making comments. The next semester she created a girls only class inside the small gym that was wildly popular… and it all started with a gift.

    I had a teacher in highschool that helped a boy get my attention and was very invested in us being together. To this day she still sends me messages on the anniversary of the day he died! If it wasn't for her I would have never given him a chance. Suicide ripped us apart but Im so glad I gave him the chance thanks to her! She is my ABSOLUTE favorite teacher!!!

    Mine was a Christmas gift. I had a student that I loved (a first grader) and she was so shy. I knew she was from a very poor home. When Christmas came around I gave pencils to everyone. The next day she came with a gift she had obviously wrapped herself. She waited for me to open and the joy on her face was priceless. I opened it and it was a half bottle of perfume. She very happily said, “It’s my favorite one!” Not lying, it was everything I could do to wait till she left before I cried my eyes out. One of the best gift ever. It was a total heart gift.

    • @starrycharacter
      @starrycharacter Před rokem +5

    My sister's kids are home schooled now but when the older two were in elementary school and had to give every kid in the class a valentine her middle child (we'll call them Kid) got SAVAGE in first grade. My sister has generally well behaved children who feel very strongly about things being fair, which is important here (we are a family of Hufflepuffs with Ravenclaw tendencies). There were enough kids in Kid's class to need two packs of valentine's cards that year and their parents let them choose their own without any oversight. Kid's also very independent and insisted on addressing them alone. I got a phone call on Valentine's Day from my hysterically laughing sister, who told me the story of how her most well behaved child got their first (and only) lunch detention.
    Kid had gotten two different types of cards, instead of two of the same as their parent's assumed. One pack was Jurassic park because dinosaurs are awesome and they wanted to give them to awesome people. The second box was monster themed and they made a point of telling everyone who got one that they were getting it because they were a monster (most of the kids who got them were bullies who were known by the school to be bullies). Kid had taken their unused monster valentines to school so that their friends could ALSO give monster valentines to the 'monsters'. Apparently a couple of the kids cried after getting three 'monster' cards and Kid refused to apologize for hurting their feelings. The detention was for being rude (for singling out some of the children) and refusing to follow teacher instructions by refusing to apologize. Kid is now in 8th grade and is still proud of their detention.

      While it is a little controversial to bully bullies, I tjink it was a great decision, a peaceful protest with attitude, if you will, regarding the monsters' nasty treatment of other students.

    I've been binge-listening (is that a thing??) to your podcast all day I love u guys!!!!
    not a teacher, but my valentine's day story is that in high school I baked a batch of pink, strawberry flavored cupcakes and stuck a heart lollipop on each of them so I could give them to all my classmates on 1st period biology the next day. I get to school and start offering them around, and no one wanted one, not a single person took a cupcake from me. I was about to skip 2nd and go cry in the bathroom (I was 16 and sensitive lol) when my biology teacher actually took his cupcake, even had a few bites and said they were delicious and I should offer some to the teachers

      Loved your story!
      I made gingerbread cookies, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, and even went on to make gluten free variations for my teachers and classmates who had a gluten allergy. Needless to say very few people ate anything I baked, it really hurt my feelings. A few of my teachers ate them and said they were amazing; some said they would not eat any because they didn’t like the flavor. When my friends found out and got to taste my sweets they all decided to take/eat 2-4 each until I didn’t have but two left for my mom and brother. To this day they continue to ask me to bake cakes, cookies, and pastries for them for birthdays or special occasions. In October I am catering to a wedding for my longtime friends. The teachers that ate my sweets made my day and helped boost my confidence in my baking abilities.

    • @Chris-ks4sw
      @Chris-ks4sw Před rokem

      I think it mightve been the fact they were strawberry flavored and cupcakes. Cupcakes already are a bad pastry then add the fact theyre strawberry which as an icing isnt as popular as say vanilla or chocolate.

    • @commanderwaddles3483
      @commanderwaddles3483 Před rokem

      I find it so odd that they didn't take any free food.. all the schools I've been to, we were like piranas with anything we could get. Eating in class was something sacred in earlier school lol.
      But highschool I was eating my lunch in class without permission because I was fucking starving & my lunch period was at a ridoculous hour.

    This year I tried showing my kids a Mythbusters video where they made rocket fuel from processed Gummy Bears and Sugar. It was cute, I thought it would be a unique Valentine's Day surprise and then I found two second graders attempting to light their Valentine's Day candy on fire at Recess using another student's glasses. 🙄

    Middle School drama is THE BEST as a teacher. My teacher besties and I will pop into each other’s room like “You hear the tea about girl # 2 and boy #7? 👀👀👀” 😂😂😂
    I don’t ship students, I don’t encourage their relationships, and I definitely don’t facilitate “dating opportunities” (I know a teacher who did that 😬😬 Big Yikes) BUT best believe I’m INVESTED in the drama like it’s a Netflix show 😂😂

    I'm closer in age to Mrs. Rogers than I realized XD Looking up to you like a teacher figure you are and in reality we're only a year or two apart in age (graduated 2015). So weird. Had the same kind of experience with my soul sister when she was helping me get into writing groups, saw her as a mentor until we realized she is younger than me and now we're close like sisters.

    Dude. I remember Valentine’s Day in 7th grade. I had just been dating this girl for 2 months and things were getting more “serious”. I we had our first kiss with eachother at New Years at our favorite bands’ concert as the confetti and balloons rained down. But like on Valentine’s Day, I saved up some money and got her like a $300 necklace as we skipped school and we were sitting in the baseball dugout to watch the sunset and I took her to her favorite restaurant after. We dated for like another year and a half and then she cheated on me with my friend and did drugs. She’s dead to me

    When I was in 5th grade, for Valentine's Day me and my best friend collaborated on a gift for our teacher. We bought a little basket, a small stuffed tiger, a few of her favorite candy, a bag of her favorite chips, and we hand-made a card for her and I think that was the happiest we ever saw that teacher.
    Also, this year for the last day of school I drew (and painted) flowers for all of my teachers, and my favorite teacher this last year hung it up on her wall right behind her and when she was packing up her room she had me take a picture with her and the painting and I will always remember her as one of my favorite teachers I've ever had

    I met my partner when I was in 7th grade and he was in 5th, we were on the same baseball team. He was actually homeschooled so we never hung out in school or anything but we were always good friends. Anyway when we were in 12th/10th, my best friend started dating his best friend, another teammate and then we got together for the first time when I was home from college the next summer. It took 3 more years for us to actually start dating and we're still together 😅 so yeah, sometimes you stay with people you meet in 7th grade

It’s funny because I am not a teacher nor student at the moment-college gap year due to the pandemic 😷 But hearing you guys talk about the real lives of teachers plus the hilarity of your students for some reason feels so nostalgic and also maybe inspiring?? Like, do I subconsciously wanna teach??
    But yeah you guys are great, please keep up the podcast it cracks me up :))

    I had a student find out that her boyfriend told his female best friend “happy Valentine’s Day, I love you” as the bell was ringing for first period. So she storms down the hall, and I was like come back it’s okay we’ll talk cause I thought she was going to cry but she turns, bright red face and goes “no I’m going to break up him right now! No one does that to me! ”
    My bestie and I held back laugher and pride and got her back in my class so she didn’t storm into his first period and like slap him across the face. Girl did not play. I got his side later that day, and read the texts she sent him. It was so spicy. Perks of being the teach everyone asks for advice.

    I taught 2nd grade for 14 years. Every year I had my students write a compliments sentence to each student in the classroom as their Valentine Day card. I made it due on Feb. 10th so I had time to grade them for grammar, spelling and handwriting. I would always tear up when reading the compliments. I also wrote them to my students. One year I had a little girl that was so mean to everyone. It was hard to think of something nice to say about her, so I wrote "Your hair looks so pretty when you wear it in a ponytail." Most of the time she never combed her hair. Do you know she came to school with her hair in a ponytail everyday for the rest of the school year. She recently graduated from high school and came to our Senior Reunion and thanked me for being her teacher.

    I used to do volunteer work at a zoo and came face to face with an ostrich once. Luckily, this was a very friendly, people-oriented ostrich that had been hand raised and was just really curious and wanting to meet all the people. Plus there was a gate between us. She "bit" my fingers holding the gate closed and my hat brim but not like actual bites. Like the equivalent of a little kid just sorta touching you to check you out, just they only have their beak to do it with. Gentler, actually. This particular ostrich is notorious for wanting to come meet all the people lmao.

    Coming up on Christmas 2020 the special ed class I was a para in had been talking about December holidays around the world and across cultures. All the kids in my class (six total) celebrated Christmas, so one of the projects we made was a Christmas tree. The last day before winter break I surprised them all, some of whom came from difficult backgrounds, with wrapped gifts under the tree. Fast forward a few months, one of the kids made little candy bags for all of the teachers and paras in the classroom, and she was amazed when I almost cried. My students were some of the sweetest kids ever, and despite so much they were some of the most thoughtful people.

    I had some teachers who were not emotionally mature (not many but a few) and they would have been salty if I gave a present to other teachers and not them. So I would either give a gift to every teacher, One or two IF your kid has lots of teachers and really wants to get them something, or none.

    Before graduation I gave my all time fav teacher (english) a lil calendar with book quotes, she looooved it and I was so excited to give her smth that she could use everyday but doesn't last forever to collect dust :) I also gave a candle to my counselor before graduation. I never gave gifts to my teachers in HS except that

    19:05 omg this scene literally triggered a memory of Elementary school (6th grade, 6th GRADE) when I tried to befriend a group of outsider/popular girls and, one time, I was fortunate to be placed in a group with them in our classroom seating chart. However, the group of friends of 6, and with me, had one of them out of the group to another one (a group of boys). A few weeks passed, I didn't get any closer to them until one day I was handed a note (So-so likes you) and being a chubby person, I had the stigma that fat people are never liked, so I was not only shy, I was timid, nervous around this person because supposedly, the boy who is extroverted, most-liked, liked me. So this "group" of friends suddenly being my "BFF's" pressured me to say yes to being his girlfriend...I said yes.
    The girls were so excited that I got my hopes up that I would finally be friends, but after recess, I noticed all of them getting more giddy and giggly in front of me, and instantly I felt suspicious. During class, while we were working on an assignment, one of them (the social one) approached the teacher and they were talking until she stood up, announced my relationship....and moved ME....with the girl in the boys' group. I was silent, I was red, and I wanted to cry.
    They had tricked me into saying yes to this boy so that the group of 6 can be back together.
    I lost trust on everyone, I stayed by myself until I rekindled a friendship with my now 13 year best friend, and I distrusted my teacher. I broke up with the boy the next day and stood in my seat silently as I do my work.
    That was the biggest "f-ck you" if I had ever seen one in a 6th grade class.
    Im not against a teacher shipping students (I can agree it is creepy), but...the trauma thay can inflict on a student can be so detrimental.
    If that was the case, that "friend" shouldn't be the one to 1) announce the relationship to the teacher, 2) teacher should have asked the couple if they wanted to sit together or not, 3) just have the student respect the seating chart. I'm pretty sure the teacher was in on it as well because what kind of teacher would just do that?...
    (P.s. i still dont trust people, going as far as FBI-ing the shit on anyone who wants a relationship with me, so yeah...it sticks ladies and gentlemen and my nonbinary people).

    And Tell you want to Tutor middle school. I would never teach but tutoring them was a blast.
    And I would tell my kids to bring me the candy or the box of cards, I would put them together and do it while they took their nap. You can take that candy crap home with your mama lol.

    Seventh grade in my school, you could buy a rose and have it placed on the homeroom desk of any student you wanted. I was the only kid without a rose in the whole class and I felt heartbroken inside. Went to my next class (a tech one), and my crush at the time came by and gave me a big heart shaped cookie that said "Be Mine" and invited me to go get hot chocolate with him the next day because he knew I didn't drink coffee. Still the best valentines ever.

    I had a teacher in middle school that I detested. She made my life miserable and pointedly took me out of a classroom party because of some petty disagreement I had with a couple of classmates. I purposely ignored her because of that, turns out she was pregnant during the entire semester. We kind of had a laugh about it...years later when I saw her again. Shout out to Ms. N!

    In high school my freshman year, one teacher shipped me and this one guy. Me and this guy were Acquaintances. The teacher would drop hints or do pair us up for something. I will always remember this one time. We were discussing something in class and he comes over to me. He says “ do you like (guys name)? “. The whole class looked at me including the guy that was sitting right next to me. Everyone was waiting for me to answer. I was a shy kid my freshman year so I said “ no I don’t. I have a boyfriend.” I didn't have a boyfriend I just wanted the attention off of me. Funny enough 11th-grade year comes around we have one class together. We became close friends that year. He would flirt with me so much. He made it very aware to me that he liked me. He asked me out on my birthday. We are still together to this day and see each other as the one. He told me after we were together that he knew I was the one for him since 8th grade (the first time he saw me). He liked me for 4 years.

    I’m from Wisconsin and for AP Euro we had a field trip to Chicago for the Field Museum and the art museum. After the museum tour there was a period of free time and we were literally told we could do whatever we just couldn’t leave the street the museum was on (but could go in any shops/buildings on that street), had to stay in groups of at least 2, and had to be back for the bus on time. My friends and I found a really pretty church with stained glass windows that we explored, but I remember the whole time feeling like we should not be let loose on a busy street in Chicago without supervision. Most of us had cellphones and we were 15-16 year olds in an AP class so I get why the teacher felt comfortable trusting us but I genuinely don’t know if the school knew or would approve.
    Also, on the way home one of the boys in the class really liked White Castle but there aren’t any where we lived and he knew we were going to drive past one. He somehow convinced the teacher to have the bus stop at the White Castle so he could buy a box of 12 burgers. The bus smelled awful the rest of the way home and I don’t think I could ever eat a White Castle burger.

    Crazy field trip story. I was in middle school, about 8th grade when we went to our nearest 4-H park to learn about farm animals and plants. We were learning about growing plants when a student started screaming and cussing out one of the elderly teachers. The student began to get physical on the teacher and other students so the one male teacher tried to restrain him. He broke free and tried to fake a seizure, then proceeded to run away and ran around the whole park. Our field trip ended early and the police had to come.

Looking back, I realize that singling out three boys was a little strange, but my friend's crushes were important to me, lol.

    I know it's not Valentines Day but yall made me think of it.
    When I was in the 5th grade our school started a mail system and us kids could send mail back and forth. It was really cool cause it taught us how to properly address a letter, all the halls had street names and the classrooms numbers.
    So very early on they noticed I sent and received more mail than any other student and they made me Post Master General and would have me dress up in this little mail man costume on the morning announcements.
    Apparently they never checked the mail cause I was cutting out pictures from my Dads dirty magazines I found and selling them. 1$ for a small picture, 5$ for a large, and 8$ for a full page.
    At the end of every day I'd spend all the money buying kids otw home ice-cream from the ice-cream man.....
    I'm 40 now and it blows my mind I never got caught. I have to assume they didn't check cause they were worried it technically was tampering with the mail of they checked?? I don't know but it still cracks me up anytime I think of it.

The only reason we started dating was to make my ex jealous and then we ended up liking each other and actually “dating.” THEN D dumped me the day before Valentine’s for a girl who bullied me 🥹 SO I got back together with my ex, J, and gave him the Valentines gift that I bought for his best friend. I had such a thrilling love life in elementary school, it all went down hill from there…
