Things You Only Say When Remote Teaching... 

Gigi Richer true

Applies in middle school too, but I’ve only caught one kid being half-asleep.

My high school was a mad house and that includes the teachers. I loved it

Yeah so many times it's just the teacher talking and everyone is muted lol

True

I mean judging by the perceived age of the teacher, the pet show and tell, the pajama bragging, and the mom being put on... I'd estimate these kids to all be in max 3rd grade, so likely not sleeping with the camera off. Haha

@@servantofgod3333 pre - 5 "ADORABLENESS, ANIMALS, PAJAMAS" 6+ "just let me sleep"

One of my teachers has to have a poll pop up randomly during the zoom to make sure everyone is paying attention

Kindergarten Zoom: sleeping with the camera on

Casper Angenent OOOOOOOF

yep

I am in middle school but I relate

This is very accurate.

I teach a technology class for new online teachers - I am constantly asking them to mute their mics.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CAN CONFIRM

hahaha...comment of the year lol

bahahah 😂😂😂😂😂

I had a parent do this. Walked out of the bathroom with a towel on lmao

Oh god you must be scarred for life

i accidentally walked past my third grade brother while he was answering a question. I wasnt wearing pants and now his teachers think im crazy

Same for me, and I teach middle school! When they do log on, they never want to be on camera either, lol

As a homeschooled high schooler who is *trying * to take online votech classes, I am so sorry. I'm one of the students that's come to online classes but we still have a couple.... Who refuse to get on........ Drives me nuts

@@wantingtolearn4729 LOL, in my professional opinion, just say "be right back" and *actually* come back, and you're all good. I don't know about your teachers, but I really don't mind whatever the kiddos need to step away for as long as they come back!

As a high schooler myself I can tell you in my high school people show up but NO ONE talks and no one has there camera on. It has gotten to the point where if our teacher asks us a question there’s an awkward pause.

They don't even show up lol no surprise

Not that they don't, but how are teachers different than anyone else who has to work from home?

@@tirkdiamond They aren't, it was just relevant at the time, if you have to work from home, that should be recognized too. Sorry if I offended you in any way, that wasn't my intention and all people working at the moment should be admired too.

@@joannayeo9545 no, I wasn't offended. don't worry. :P just curious.

tirkdiamond Because most people who work from home don’t have to plan lessons to teach BEFORE the next day, teach during the day including checking in with students, mark all their work so no-one feels they haven’t been forgotten because they’ll often be completing at different times (whereas usually a “pat yourselves on the back...great work!” does for a classroom), then planning for the next day. Checking in on students who weren’t there, setting up activities for students who don’t have access to computers or internet etc.

@@tirkdiamond Do all people working at home have to manage so many children?.. why can't people allow praise for teachers without having to direct back to themself. So self centred

OMG 😂😂😂😂

One kid actually sad it to me. Than all class laughed

The new excuse of the year: I forgot my homework at school

@@noobmaster-nq6fk Lol

@@helenhikari I have a suggestion for you: learn grammar ✨

Oh god the memories. *S O C O O L*

Good job :(

@@ratherbfishing455 That's two words

My old elementary teachers hated that word because of the Lego movie and the fact that everyone used that word for everything lmao

I teach kindergarten as well and all of this happens daily haha

@@jonewank2428 This is a video about remote teaching this comment could not be more relevant

@@quackthulu9575 bruh it looks like a fake tutorial rather than a remote teaching so stfu.

That's absolutely the same thing I go through.... 🤣

@@jonewank2428 You are a truly lovely person.

I just made the same comment then saw yours 😅😅

@Rie Ta Sounds like you're my soulmate

It’s pre school cause in elementary the teacher is constantly telling you off

Could be a junior college!

college would be "ok, lets turn our cameras on"

It is my mom's working 24/7

Insane *right now*? Are you kidding? Wait, no more kids, stop having kids. What I mean is, are you nuts? It's always like this for teachers. 30 plus little minds thinking up ways to delay/interrupt/divert the course of a class...omg. Multiplied by "at home, more relaxed, instantly derailed" little brains...Oh look, my dog...

For me, it's not bad because I make them mute and if they unmute, I remind them again. We have great support and parents get lots of calls if kids don't cooperate.

@@Kayenne54 Hahaha! I swear this made me laugh so hard! I feel bad for my elementary school teachers. They deal with so much. If you teach, I hope you get some better classes soon.

OMG!! That's horrible 😔 BUT I almost spit out my coffee from laughing. 😂😂

Wow

Just make sure to double check it actually is muted 😆

You still deserve a gold star and a smiley face sticker ⭐️ 😊

My English teacher used to make a few jokes when class started at the beginning of the year - apparently my classmate’s dad sat right next to him one day - interrupted the teacher and told him to start the lesson. Needless to say my teacher was pissed.

this comment here

That was my exact thought when they were going over pyjamas.

So true....

I don't think students are taught how to solve 343-187 at college level.

@@Rikka_V1 you’d be surprised

Anonymous [26490] fr or they do but it’s two people and their like an hour late 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣😂😂

True

Me: * Shows up * Can I have Teacher: You're passing with an A Me: extra credit Teacher: No

lmaoooo thats so true . my highschoolers do this 🤣

Pretty much

Double-twist ending: It's actually a PD session.

My Theatre Zooms are like this.

@@ashlynnheller8400 same!

Nah high school students turn off their cameras, mute their mics, and don’t talk the entire meeting. Trust me, I know XD

As a teacher who's paid per session, I definitely am worried about my wage if I only hand an assignment and don't do the online class 😂😅

Oh, that's what happens with me too

Qurratu Aini Firdausi oh noooo lol I hope you’re doing well with all of this remote teaching!

We're only required to do one Zoom lesson a day

Ms.Bubs4fun I’m sure there are different rules around the states. My kids don’t get anything at all. My son goes to a school for special needs children. You’d think just maybe his school would have come up with a better plan.

Yes, nailed it! Except it's all about Roblox, not Minecraft. LOL

Brenna Broadnax P

@@brennabroadnax9568 yup, roblox is the free one!

It was exactly like what teaching 2nd grade was like this spring. Too funny.

Ahhahaha I remember when the teacher would freeze but u can still hear her....😂

@@lexileviosa9129 mine too

This quarantine has broken a generation's beliefs.

Ben Saleh More like every generation...

I thought that about college and was always wondering how the students get away with having parties, now I know. I can't believe I couldn't figure that out on my own.

Yup- my daughter said she was gonna run away and live at school. I told her no one is at school she got all mad & said her teacher lives there 🤣 she had just turned 5 lol

@@KidsRU-vid9900 i learned that wasn’t the case by the time i was forth grade because the bus arrives early even before the teachers.

99.9% kids messing around and younger siblings/parents in the background 00.1% other stuff

I need to see you in GoGuardian

I did a 12 minutes video like this....it was muted. You know what I did? Started it OVER! It took me 2 hours to do that slideshow and somebody is going to enjoy it! lol

😂 I’m sure you’re not the only one thankful for that!

gin, vodka, peppermint schnapps, goldschlager and a host of others. The gang s all here!

I was literally thinking what about middle schoolers?🤣

@@samaraparker8302 Everyone is so silent and the teachers have to ask us to TALK and STOP being quiet... Teacher- did everyone do the homework? Could you guys get in? Everyone- ... Teacher- Hello? Can you hear me? Anyone? Type in the chat then... 1 person in chat- ya I think the teachers regretted wishing for the class to be quiet... Also theres those siblings that bomb your class and start cussing and playing music.

Hannah Aalaei yeah that’s exactly what happens escpically last year this year is ever so slightly louder

@@samaraparker8302 Interesting... 🤔

Watching during class ✌️

🤣🤣 teachers are amazing. Thanks for your hard work.

Nice

My science teacher has a huge avocado plant in the background, as well as a batch of cookies and her two cats. Not as weird, but I do wonder why there are always cookies there. Does she eat them and make more or do they sit there and collect dust?

@@arrowverselover100 Duh! She got an early start for Santa Claus!!

@@wismeiry31 Yes! What was I thinking? Of course they're for Santa. How did I not think of this! 😂

From another side of the fence: if you care as a teacher kids don't show up and don't feel like learning anyway. Since they think that they don't have to work if they are not out of home, parents accept it and don't care. Majority of them doesn't show up. If they show up they don't even switch on the camera. When you explain things they mute their mics. When you ask questions they keep quiet. You try to keep your and their morale up but at the end of the day you can only feel sorry for their parents and wonder how this lost and lazy generation is going to survive brutal job market of the future. But before sleep you just say to yourself I'm glad I wasn't that stupid as a kid and another one is after all it's their choice not mine and thank God this is not my own child.

Lmaoo 😂

Get ready. It will happen just as she showed it. Tip: do not plan instruction on your first meeting. The kids will have way too much to tell and will want to visit with their classmates. Have fun. (And you might as well just get pet show and tell out of the way too.)

I ate during virtual gym.

Tarayn Marissa I was about to say the same thing! First thing I do when class starts, mute those mics! Luckily my kiddos don’t know how to unmute themselves, and I can select one at a time...MUCH BETTER than in the classroom!!

I couldn't survive our online meetings if I couldn't mute my students. Sometimes I am testing each mix to see just where all that screaming is coming from.

Mimi Taylor DFW area teacher here, we can get through this!!

Praying for you, girlfriend!!!

Here in Atlanta as well. I can't wait .

6 more weeks, good LORD! We have until May 28 in OH and it’s a good thing.

Tried that. No difference in engagement and student response. I just ended up doubling my prep time with video editing for little to no gain.

@@greybeardgamifying ....it's sad that we live in a world where kids watch tiktok and instagram, but can't manage to sit still for 10 minutes on the same style platforms to learn something. Maybe we should just let kids be stupid, and if they want to actually learn, they can pay for school when they're older. Maybe they want to mop floors for the rest of their lives, maybe that's fulfilling to them, who knows.

@@sabriath Kids only can watch tiktok and instagram if their parents give them devices and allow them to download those apps. (Even though Instagram and TikTok, and all social media, are 13+, children under that still make accounts and tend not to get caught.) To be honest, TikTok is basically just spyware disguised as a social media platform.

@@greybeardgamifying I agree, but it is still better than this because I just have office hours, however, they would just make up a random meeting to talk about absolutely nothing to prove that we did something. wtf

High school student here: I agree with a lot of your points, video conferencing lessons can be really hard to set up and I can understand that repeating the lesson would be frustrating; but I would argue that they are worth it for discussion and social engagement. In addition, asking questions at the end of a 6-hour school day is very taxing, (honestly doing anything after a 6 hour school day on zoom is lol) so having that time when you can ask questions related to the subject material right after you learned it is much easier, at least for me. Hope this helped give another perspective!

supernanny

Jesus Saves yes

The resurrection of Minecraft actually happened quite a while ago but it's remained alive and somewhat relevant since.

@@undefinederror40404 Wasn't it just because PewDiePie played it again?

Your in highschool aren't you.
