Parents who unconditionally defend their kids must be a nightmare. When I missed a piece of homework or got a bad grade my parents would side with the teacher and start telling me off right in front of them at parents' evening.
In preschool/kindergarten I didn't understand that teachers left the schools when we did, so when my sister said she was becoming a teacher I cried because I thought I would never see her again. Then one day I saw my teacher in public and I made sense of it all.
guitar geek That is what I tell my own kids. The awesome, creative days of teaching are over. Now it is just scripted lessons and anxiety ridden testing.
Shteinshtein Jewbacca Shekelburg teaching is no longer a stable job in the U.S atleast budgets change all the time and you can get laid off basically at any given time untill you get tenure.
I live in Liverpool and have a teacher from st Helens and I once saw her at my local shops waiting for my mates and I just thought, why are you all they way here there is one choker Tesco express is there no supermarkets in St. Helens
Me and my friend were helping the kindergartens in the computer room at school and they were learning about healthy and un healthy food. So one of the boys yelled out "CAN WE LEARN ABOUT ALCOHOLE LIKE BEER AND WINE BECUASE I DRINK THAT AT HOME AND ITS UNHEALTHY" Me and my friend and the teacher started laughing historically and then another little boy yelled out "MY DAD DRINKS BEER BUT I LIKE COCA-COLA" I was practically on the floor behind a desk crying because I was laughing so hard. Yeah I love kids
Emily Bruce....very funny, Emily, but just to say, it's unhealthy food, alcohol, it's (not its), hysterically, and my friend and I. Sorry for being a pedant (that's the retired teacher in me).
respect your teachers, please, my mom's a teacher and she gets yelled at by parents and mentally abused by kids and barley makes any money so she has to work during holidays and weekends but she's still going strong and loving life so please be nice to teachers
+best country Actually teachers don't make half the amount the media says they do. Don't believe everything you hear or read about because they might be (Shocker! I know) lying.
no the child litterally said public hair because its a small child who doesnt know better yet. It is ofcource called pubic hair but the child didn't know
My dad was a teacher for 6 years. He said that the worst thing about it is the parents as they seem to think that their bratty child is an angel. My dad, being the sort of guy that would just tell you straight up how much of a shit your child is, had a few arguments with parents about their kids
That moment when a kid understands something, and you can actually see comprehension overcoming them, especially if it's a skill or concept they've been working on for a long time... that's absolutely the best thing about being a teacher.
The kids are the best thing with being a teacher, hands down. I sometimes feel like they teach you more than you teach them about life and people. It really makes you understand all kinds of people and become more tolerant.
If I were a teacher I would be PISSED if someone suggested I was a 'slacker'. Teachers work so hard and they have to if they are going to get anything i to the children's heads. Good on them
my mom was a TA and i remember her in the 6 week holidays using her own pc and printer to make 60 copies of each letter and print them and laminate them and cut them into squares and go through school work and homework, it never seems to stop, and who doesn't realise that most teachers have to be at school at least an hour before the students and at least an hour after
MegaUnfunny my mom is a cafeteria lady and she Actually works those hours xD even less really. One of the reasons she keeps that job. And she had summer off until they recently started a summer feeding program for the kids. But I don't understand how people can think teachers work those hours. I mean, it's not like they are always grading papers and stuff while the kids are in class, they are lecturing and helping kids. Their homework is like 60 papers where kids have like seven or eight.
My mom is a teacher and people think they are rich but after all the taxes she got half of what she was originally supposed to get. She is constantly busy (she teaches in primary) she's always at the school, doing work for school till the middle of the night or ringing someone to do with school. Tell me now +AK Milli that it is so easy for primary school teachers. She has to work on holiday, on weekends and after school. Then there is people like you going around saying she does nothing.
I taught secondary school and I loved the kids. They would try to do their best and be really good if they thought you were on their side (they had a very students vs teachers mentality, at least at that school). Didn't love my coworkers or the system, but the kids were great.
They’re* teachers* they’re is a contraction of they are, there is a location/situation, their belonging to them Teachers is the plural of teacher, teacher’s is belonging to teacher
I was a teacher for 16 years - quitting was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Parents, students, administrators don't realize how much teaching can take out of you emotionally, physically and mentally. That lack of appreciation finally drove me to quit. So, much respect for teachers who stick with it for decades!
shruti it’s either you’ve taken perspective out of this video or that she actually was your teacher, if she was then good for you :) hope she was as great as you say she is.
Just started working as a French teacher at a primary school, I never thought I'd be the teacher all the kids look at like "OMG you are 25!?!" Lol damn.
I’m a volunteer at brownies, so like it’s 7 to 10 year olds, and I told them I was 15 and they all went mental, they thought I was like 25 or something
can you actually tell me why it's not easy though ?... like I'm actually a little confused on how it's not easy... The lesson plans should be easy after 3+ years...
Lol Ikr, teaching isn't as easy as people think it is. So much work goes into it, for example each year the national curriculum would have changes so teachers would need to adjust lesson plans by coming up with new and interesting activities. On top of that they need to make sure the lesson plans would suit everyone of all abilities.
Samantha garcia it's really not my mom is a teacher and she has to teach her 25 students and each one is on a different level. Some can read and some can't. Some can do math and some don't even know how to add. So it isn't easy just remember that. Also parents are very clueless about their own children's education and when you tell them they can't read or do math they get mad. So just remember it isn't easy
That sweet lady’s story about giving each student a medal with something about them that’s award worthy on it I would cry so hard if my teacher did that for me
My mother was a head teacher at the elementary school, and I have never heard her complaining once. Knowing how much I complain about my number crunching work, I think she's had a perfect career, and best of all, everyone in the school loved her. I'm so proud of having a mom that is so caring and good at teaching kids.
I’m going through to be a teacher, and sometimes I have to take a step back and try to convince myself that it’ll all turn out alright because I’m nervous I’ll do bad in university. And honestly, it’s videos like these that help motivate me because I can’t wait to have my own class and prep the next generation and get them excited for school rather than being anxious, depressed or hate it. Thanks for the vid🌺
Lmao these teachers have some good ass students, my school literally has students 24/7 drained just hoping a train would hit em. My English teacher literally walked into class and completely serious said, "I hate my life."
Even after being out of work (disability) for 24 years, I still feel a surge of anticipation come August, and I still have teaching dreams. Teaching is the best gig EVER! Despite the low pay, intense workload, et cetera. I still miss it. Listening to these teachery truths makes me smile. All are familiar. Especially oh man encountering a student outside of school. There really was a pervasive belief I lived at school.
So here's a fun fact that I remembered randomly! When I left primary school everyone was really sad because we'd never be taught by our teacher again so a few kids made a plan: The first assignment we were ever given was to learn one farewell song by heart (this was before I swore of singing in front of others) and a few kids got the idea to take that song, modify it to match the teachers and sing it by heart on the last day of school. We spent 3 months on it and met up in the graveyard next to the school every Wednesday after school. When we got our report cards and were about to leave we all stopped and turned around to look at the teacher and started singing. My 73 year old teacher (who no one in school has ever seen cry) started sobbing from joy and gave us a hug. I never liked him, until that day
In Japan, we have "Welcome" parties (to welcome in all the new teachers and kick off the year), "Mid Year" / "Summer" parties (we made it through the first four months! (School starts in April here), "End of Year" parties (we made it to December! YAY!)), then "Farewell" parties (to say goodbye to teachers transferring out or retiring - which happens every year)... then there's parties in between - usually for each department, or just because! (They're called "Enkai") - best part... yep, definitely the students! And "you don't do much work"... lols... my 60-80h workweek says otherwise!
both my parents are teachers and they are so hard working and kind. they’re not making 6 figures but they are helping people and they love what they do, and that’s enough for them. appreciate teachers
N J They are, you are. (Grammar standards not the be all, oppressive even, and chance typos and all sorts of things HAPPEN. But teachers are gratified when praised with correct you're/your too.) Your heart's in the right place. So important. I bet your teachers helped. xx
My aunts a teacher and the stories she tells us totally made me stay away from the profession you guys are amazing and such hero's you guys deserve so much credit
I have so much respect for teachers, I don't think I'd ever be able to do their job. Watching this made me think back over my time in school and honestly I had some amazing teachers. They helped me get my GCSE's and battle through undiagnosed mental health problems and I certainly don't think I'd be where I am without them.
I love teachers. They honestly deserve to be well respected and more recognized in society. Shout out Sister Peggy, Ms. Alvarado, Ms. Condon, Mr. William, Ms. Deleon, Mr.Flores, Dr. Fisher, Mr. Nicdao, Mr. Otra, Mr. Rios, and Ms. Mixer
