Shout out to my high school teacher from 2005, Miss Kathryn Butterworth. She taught nearTolosa Park in Tasmania. One day a gunman took one of her students hostage, and by the time the police arrived the criminal was on the ground. She prevented a huge incident that day and took good control of a bad situation. This wasn't in the distant past it was around 2005. I think she deserves a bravery award.
I left the teaching profession after reading 'The six functions of school' from Alexander Inglis's book 'The priciples of secondary education', its quite shocking to discover the hidden agenda of school. Books by J T Gatto also expose the true agenda of schooling!
I used to be a high school teacher. Such a precise description. Especially the B.O. and Lynx part, the penis carvings and the report cards. “Jimmy is extremely enthusiastic during class. “ Thank you. This video confirms it was a good choice to retire when I did.
As a Casual Relief Teacher, there is not a single thing I don’t disagree with in this video. The ‘15 people going to the bathroom’ is VERY real. I simply get them to go one at a time regardless of whether or not they really need to go. You weed them out pretty quick if you get them to go one at a time.
My music teacher always gets so frustrated when we all get ready to leave as soon as the bell goes. She says "the bell isn't a signal for you to leave the classroom, it is a signal for me to know that the allocated time for the lesson is over and I need to wrap it up". She literally gave us an entire lecture last week about it
Just want to say, some of my high school teachers really DID make a difference in my life. Not that I really became anything great, but thanks anyway. Keep doing the good work, I don’t doubt that it feels thankless but we really do appreciate you!
@@becsterbrisbane6275 I work with someone who never reads the email. "Oh, was I meant to read that? I deleted it because I didn't think it was for me." A colleague like that is why we're never going to get rid of meetings 🙄
I just did my placements and all happened to me! Just so real! Science experiments are nightmares too! 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the laugh! Oh please don't forget running all day long between the teachers' room and the classrooms in a huge school! Wearing formal clothes to adhere to the dress code!
At my school we used to do 1 experiment a year and then it'd go terrible wrong and there'd be toad organ splat marks on the ceiling, the teacher would say we're not responsible enough and we wouldn't do another one until the next year with a new teacher where it all just repeated EVERY YEAR
Back in the 80’s- a friend of mine who had just become a HS teacher was constantly asked if she wanted to see”it”. Finally she said yes . After which she said “ Put it away. It’s pathetic”- hilarious. He never asked again!! I’m so glad I was a primary school teacher!!
I went through school from the mid 70's to the mid 80's so the 1st PC's were just coming in when I left, I was not a good student at pretty much everything, so I was ignored by most of my teachers which was fine by me. So many things we did you would just not believe, but the one that always comes to mind was the head master was a heavy smoker & was always running out, we used to have to go to the corner to buy his cigarette & we got to spend the change on an ice-cream or a bag of mixer lolly's, I'm not sure how many laws that alone broke, but I'm going for most of them.
High school teachers have it worse than primary school teachers I watch everything that jimmy just said actually happen all in one day, this is hilarious by the way.
It’s funny that teachers today have to spend so much time controlling kids use of mobile phones and other electronic devices when these things didn’t exist when I was in high school not even 20 years ago. Things have certainly changed!
Or even better - "but what about them sir, they're talking!" Yes. Once. At a low volume. About the work. Not you who's been avoiding work all lesson and getting on my last nerves.
Best/most memorable lesson in high school: ms bricknell's lesson on irony for our class. To "demonstrate" the concept, she said one student was hiding behind the tv "shrub" and the rest of the class (the audience) knew he was there, but myself and a friend who were walking past said person were unaware whilst i was saying to friend as walking past that i thought the person hiding was hot. The entire class broke out laughing and ms b was like "what's so funny?". Unknown to ms b but known to the ENTIRE class was THAT I ACTUALLY HAD A CRUSH ON THE HIDING STUDENT 🤣🤣 totally embarrassing at the time but none of us EVER forgot what irony is as a result of the most hilarious unintentional demonstration in history
A friend of mine set fire to a rubbish bin while the class was walking from PE back to the classroom. The teacher was actually trying not to laugh as he told her off.
Hey Jimmy. I love your content, can always count on it for a laugh, it's scary how true most this series is. If you get around to it I'd love to see you do a soldier episode.
how does he know this? this is actually my reality. I love the coffee comparisons between public and private schools. I'm at a public and we drink way too much instant coffee. Using sarcasm as a coping mechanism tick it's all in there. this is therapy on the eve of beginning of term 4.
I worked in a high school food tech department. Omg the things you see! Number one rule: never, ever accept any food made/cooked by students. Most kids were fine but some were cretins.
Collective Terms for High School Year Levels: A Frustration of Year 7's An Eye-Roll of Year 8 girls A Stink of Year 8 boys A Bitch of Year 9 girls A Wank of Year 9 boys A Complacency of Year 10s A Confusion of Year 11s A Panic of Year 12s
Yard duty is excruciating. I have said many times I could never be a security guard. I’d go insane from the boredom. Even 20 minutes of it makes me want to pull my hair out.
After this, I had to have a valium - my anxiety was reawakened (BTW, it wasn't the kids who caused it). I am studying for my new career in data analysis, and I can't wait to be treated like an adult and be respected by my bosses.
@Tara Venn OMG yes - micro-management. They need managers to, at minimum, co-run a school. Principals, on the most part, are not qualified to manage. Do they know there is a WHOLE university for managing? And don't get me started on creativity. I did not teach inside the box. And that was even more apparent when I went from teaching science to teaching maths. I needed to be a clone of the other maths teachers. I was bored to tears - biggest mistake of my life, teaching maths. Other than not quitting earlier.
Should have added: dealing with moody teenagers and their lame excuses for not doing their homework. From a high school student POV: somewhat relatable - some of my classmates would have been a nightmare (I was quite a focussed student not blowing my own trumpet or anything 😅) Also I have helped teachers heaps of times with their IT problems
You forgot the boys asking you about every sports event that ever happen and what team you go for in every team sport and then watching the boys fight about which team is better
All these years later I now understand why my school created a city campus and sent a third of the year 9's for a trimester rotation. We all thought it was to get us out of our outer suburban lifestyles and to experience the city, independence, etc. ... no, no, it was a means to get a third of the year 9's off the main campus to reduce the amount of hormonal 14/15yos in the one place!😁
Trying to explain to a student why a joke is inappropriate….times 1000 Trying to explain that the word gay meant something different in the 19th century Trying not to retch as the girls combat the boys lynx Africa with cheap perfume No! Don’t put your pen in the electrical socket / Bunsen burner / fan blades No! I don’t think you will “make it” if you jump from the second storey onto the roof of the pergola Don’t laugh when they show up the next week with a broken arm
I got nodes and wasn't allowed to talk fir 6 weeks 😳 still had to teach though. I would have a student be my translator from whisper to LOUD voice. They loved it haha
