Devin Siebold, KC Mack, and Bri Richardson are back at it again as they take us on a throwback to the olden days, comparing the things teachers could get away with back then compared to now!
We've got a crazy classroom birthday tradition for you, where KC dishes out a story about a teacher who would do birthday spankings to their students on their birthdays.
If you think that wasn’t wacky enough, wait till you hear about the time where a teacher would punish students for chewing gum in class by placing it on their nose throughout the entire remainder of the class.
Not gross enough? You asked for it… The trio dives into a dental operation ongoing in class where a 1st grade teacher helps a kid with a loose tooth by tying it with a string and yanking it out with the doorknob!
There’s plenty more where that came from, so tap that play button and join us while we cringe, laugh, and reminisce on the crazy things teachers did back in the day!

Something that teacher definitely would not get away with now…I had a teacher who would toss uncapped dry erase markers at kids who fell asleep in class. The same teacher also taught a class in an auditorium and a kid fell asleep and he told the rest of us to hide in the production room in the back while he changed the time on the clock to well after 2pm and turned the lights off. We all watched him wake up confused and gather his stuff and run out thinking he slept through the end of school. It was amazing! Our teacher had to run after him. He also joked that how he graded papers was by standing at the top of his stairs and tossing them down and the closest ones were f’s and further away better the grade. He honestly was the best and unfortunately is no longer with us but fondly remembered by many.

6th grade teacher Mr Swank stapled Richard Haas's pants to the seat of his desk cause he wouldn't sit still. This was in 1971. Mr Swank also if we didn't behave, wouldn't stop talking would make us write the Lincoln's Gettiesberg address 5 times for each infraction. I asked him if I could recite it instead after a few times of violation. I did and never had to do it again. But he was one of the best teachers I ever had.

In Japan, students are responsible for cleaning their school - not just the classroom, but the whole school. It's quite impressive and it builds COMMUNITY, which is something that is lacking in the US.

@adammiller9029 6 месяцев назад

Japan has serious issues with rampant depression, employers taking advantage of people because if they do not fall in line their 'community' will oust them, and a declining birth rate, large in part because of its approach of prioritizing the group above the needs of the individual. Don't sit there and pretend Japan is some utopia where everyone is coming together in a rejoicement of community. There are some extreme problems Japan as a whole is facing as a result of it.

"As a society, we used to create citizens and now we create individuals." Great insight. You see it in the rules and norms now. You would think that creating individuals would be a positive, but there is a lack of unity and community. Possibly a consequence of more tech and less interaction? Covid sequestering? Definitely noticed it in my 25 years of teaching.

I remember back in high school. I had a really close relationship with most my teachers, and I was usually that kid I didn’t have a ride home, so I walked or rode my bike or took the bus. I’ve had teachers take me home before. Nowadays, if I told anybody that they would bring up all these new rules and regulations, or always jump to the worst conclusion, for no reason. Instead of thinking an educator would like, you know, care for the well-being of their students..😂

OMG My school in the 70 & early 80's had a smoking lounge for the students. When I was in tech ( 10th, 11th, 12th grades) , were allowed to smoke outside before the bell rang, but if you were caught throwing your butt on the ground, you had to clean all the garbage and butts on the outside grounds. I feel for the kids today, compare to what we had the 80's.

In inner-city, you can do more. He told me if you want to be just another teacher, go to suburbs, if you really want to make a difference, stay here. I did. This guy also had a short bus for the kids who were acting a fool.

I wrote SO MANY sentences in notebooks in middle school that I almost got the first case of carpel tunnel. A teacher caught me doing them vertically one time, and I was on my last word, writing it for the 100th time, and she said, I had to doo all 100 sentences again, and write them one sentence at a time. She explained the whole point is the repitition to force the instruction into my mind as a permanent memory. Out of pure spite, instead of writing "I will always remember to control my talking and be respectful of others.", I wrote, "I will always remember that this method does not impact my behavior." I gave her the notebook, and said, "I wrote all of these as full sentences before the next one. And I will remember to control myself." She took the notebook and put it in a drawer without even looking at it. Apparently she saw it later, and I became a legend in the teacher's lounge - I found out after I graduated. She never let on.

KC is confusing sleep apnea with narcolepsy. Apnea is when you stop breathing when you sleep; narcolepsy is when you have severe daytime sleepiness. The 2 conditions can go together, but not always.

@KcMack 6 месяцев назад

No, in severe sleep apnea cases, people can’t get a sufficient amount of rest at night, causing a person to fall asleep constantly throughout the day.

@ellengalbavy538 6 месяцев назад

@@KcMack sorry, but I know a bit more about this, as both my late father & I have dealt with this. Narcolepsy is a completely separate sleep disorder that can occur on its own, and does NOT always occur with severe sleep apnea. My dad had both, and my severe apnea (over 60 episodes/hour) came on so suddenly that even with my medical insurance putting off my sleep studies, I never had full-blown narcolepsy before getting my CPAP.

I completely understand the difference between narcolepsy and sleep apnea. As a person who also has severe sleep apnea, I know before getting my sleep apnea treated, I could fall asleep mid sentence. I was only going off of my personal experience. It was horrible!!

Hearing you speak of upcoming travels, I had to share. I started my school career in Honolulu and completed my High School education in Fairbanks, Alaska. My father was in the military and served 4 years in both of those locations. I am certain that much has changed as I have remained in Florida these past 30+ years. Nonetheless, both Hawaii and Alaska remains breathtaking. I wish I could remember more of Honolulu, but alas, I do not. I do remember frequent church luau's at the beach and would marvel at seeing a live octopus in a white bucket. My family often visited Bellows Beach. My folks would boogie board in the water. And although Mum was not allowed to stop, my folks did catch a glimpse of Mr. Thomas Selleck as he was filming his popular television show, Magnum P.I. You will find that the city of Anchorage is far different than going to Fairbanks where you might see the Northern Lights and in the summer they play a midnight baseball game because the sun is high in the sky. Chena Hot Springs is a delight you must experience! And take a trip to "pan" for gold, ride a ferry and see the icebergs. Outstanding.

Our coolest students were our athletes. Our high school made them the janitors during the day. They all had specific duties in support of the regular staff. It caused accountability for them, and those of us who worshipped them. When they realized they were part of the reason our school looked so good, they got that pride in their work feeling. That was the goal of the school - to instill pride in something larger than each individual. All of our starters in every sport were proud janitors. And they weren't in charge of the staff. They were the grunts, being ordered around by janitors. The rest of us were held accountable for our behavior by them. All we wanted from them was to be seen by our heroes. If we got a look that said we were not worth ther approval, it was earth shattering. Consequently, we put trash in cans, picked up around our desks, didn't write on walls or furniture, and never just vanavandalized the school. Those who couldn't care less were frequently dragged by three or four giant basketball players, and desposited in the principal's office. It was a good system. But I know they couldn't do it today.

@SmartMoufShirts 8 дней назад

In the 70s, some of the younger teachers would hang out with older students at their house, and have just community type of social time. They were genuinely just connecting with a group of students. It was a little hippie dippy, but we were flower children, and it was the age of Aquarius. Everybody was all up with people, and buying the world a Coke and two turtle doves or whatever. I was in 10th grade when I sat in on a guitar circle at a teacher's house. Two different male teachers facilitated it on a Saturday, at one or the other's house, and a bunch of music nerds showed up to have pizza and soda, and play with a huge collection of guitars and amps and effects. But we also had time to learn, and made beautiful music with real instruments. That was a non official event that the school announced, but didn't sponsor. It was just a community thing available to students only. We ended up with about 12 kids, and covered three grades. All of us got to see teachers as humans, and each other outside the confines of our own boxes - ages, grade levels, cliques, etc. It changed the way we socialized at school. It changed the way we regarded and heard teachers. It changed the way we contemplated adult and student interactions. Most of us took away a lot more than guitar. Turns out the two teachers who invited us to just get in the guitar groove were collaborating on music projects. They ended up performing some covers at school during talent shows, as intermediaries between contestants. It was slick. Ya cain't do that t'day!

Also, one of my classmates would get out of his seat a lot so our teacher tied him to his chair with a double jump rope.

My bf was born being able to write with both hands and his teacher when he started school made him choose a hand to write with it and stick to only one. The teacher encouraged right handed but he went with left handed for writing

When I was in elementary school and we were doing spelling test or a math test our teacher would use shaving cream as a review and we would cover our desk in shaving cream and then we would write the word in with our finger and shaving cream or do the math problem with Shay with her finger and shaving cream because we didn’t have those little mini whiteboards. We had chop boards still cleaned our desk. It got the pencil in the ink, pen and all of that stuff off of our desk and we were still reviewing for something.

In grade 10&11 (I was 16&17) I used to babysit for my drama teacher and his wife. He would come pick me up and drive me home after. In the summers my friend and I once helped him research stuff for the play we were going to produce for the upcoming year in Drama Club.. I was 14. Graduated at 17 (grade 11 in my province of Quebec in Canada) in 1993. Nowadays no way would this happen! At least I don’t think so.

The nurse when we were in middle school used to give us coffee for cramps. She made the best instant coffee and IT WORKED! They definitely made her stop at some point One day I went and she told me she could no longer give me coffee and I was devastated 😩

I think it depends where you teach too. I’ve answered kids phones, read texts, and called them out when being dopey and at my school our admin backs us up. I also have kids who will text me to ask for help or to communicate school stuff. On a side note I also have really solid relationships with my kids.

Bri gave me 2 new books I should read and I graduated last year. Some books were not taught because there wasn't time for it. My English teacher couldn't teach pride and prejudice because she had to focus on the big state test

That’s why I don’t understand why we have a book ban. My students and i read One Crazy Summer, we loved the book.
