Ridiculous Parent Requests: Part 3

[@karenphillips7994]

Some of these requests show you that parents see teachers as private nannies and direct employees of the parents, rather than professional educators hired to...educate.

[@kamikahz186]

You are correct, and their children see that which makes them think the same thing. I used to teach at a private school in Brooklyn & one of the teachers told me that one of her students told her, "My father pays your salary, so you'll do whatever I say".

Absolutely…when I taught school I had a second grader that ask me if he could bring his mother for career day. Don’t get me wrong, I think mothering is one heck of career but for clarification purposes I ask him why. He told me she jumped out of birthday 🎂! The kids all laughed, me too. Come to find out she did occasionally jump out of cakes! His mother was quite stunning and worked at one of the high end hotels downtown. When they had conventions and other organized events she made extra money jumping out of birthday 🎂! Once she and her husband came in to see me about Todd’s temper problem. I immediately thought about the birthday story but before I could ask them I realized I had danced with the husband at a nightclub several times! Oh, my gosh these two were something, soI I didn’t say anything about the cake and got them out of there before he recognized me!

[@t.allennailconcepts]

I am an older mom, so I usually consider everything involved. My daughter (6th grade) took her lunch to school from k5 on, everyday and I would make sure she could open every package on her own or I would wrap it in something different. A few of my statements through the years: "Your teacher needs to eat so she doesn't need to have to open 25 bottles or bags." "Do you know if you don't behave in class and your teacher has to stop, you are making her job harder?" "You don't want to be the reason your teacher gets in trouble with her boss do you? So, it's very important you do your part to help her in the classroom." Luckily my daughter likes to help so this worked for me!

Does there need to be MORE teachers for each room, because clearly you guys are not watching them? I don't understand why this abuse keeps happening to my child!"

He couldn’t believe the way those kids acted but worse than that were the policies about correcting the kids! You DON’T!

Brilliant. In my country, we have boarding schools. When I was a teacher in one of them, the parents of a student asked the school to send their child for her monthly medical treatment appointment at a hospital NEAR their home (but about 2 1/2 hours away from our school) as they were busy. To do so, a teacher had to be relieved of her duty that day of teaching other students to take their kid for her appointment🤦🏻‍♀️ by bus (my friend couldn't drive). Just to make it clear, it's not a requirement to send your child to a boarding school here- it's a choice.

I can relate I was a teacher and these requests are crazy!!!!

[@KManwarren]

God bless you teachers...these things are only funny later. Much later, I imagine.

[@rachel3541]

It’s that pink!!!! Amazing!!

oh Oh MY GOd! Oh my God! I can't help laughing out loud. 🤣🤣😂😂

Exactly why I could never be a teacher. My sister is, GOD BLESS HER!!

I had a coworker who had a parent ask her to explain menstruation and how to use a pad. She sent the student to the nurse with said pad.

[@slcRN1971]

That’s just plain sad!! Why are parents seemingly so uncomfortable about basics like that?!?!??? Well, at least she tried to get someone knowledgeable to do the teaching. When I was a student nurse doing my rotation in L&D, a very young teen had been told (by her own mother) that a girl gets pregnant when I guy kisses her on the lips (she had been allowed to go on dates at age 13)!!!

[@nancydavis-sanders5190]

I’m not a teacher but I drove a school bus for over 20 years. I had one family that could not get their kids out to the bus on time. They had 4 elementary age children. Transportation policy was to pick up the kids who were at the bus stop, we were not to block traffic waiting for very late kids. (If I saw a kid rushing, I always waited) Anyway… one family had four in elementary at the same time and they were late almost every day. The parents became furious that I couldn’t wait. Their solution was that the father would wait at the bus stop. When I stopped, he would literally walk in front of my bus and stand there blocking my path until all his kids straggled out and boarded the bus. This continued for over two years. The police and school district were unsuccessful in rectifying the situation. I was very happy when they moved away.

I had to retire 2 years before I wanted to because the stress was literally killing me . I miss the students everyday . But Bored Teachers is telling the 💯 truth about the American Education System and parents as a whole. And as usual the teachers are to blame and the children get shortchanged

[@crazy4doxies440]

Laughing so hard but also not because - just wow! The complete sense of entitlement and lack of sense makes this scary.

[@jeanhind8198]

I'm crying with laughter at these..! You really got to keep a sense of humour to deal with some of these, don't you?! Love you Girl! (But I do think you should lint roll each and every pupil each day to deal with allergies, what's wrong with that..?!!) X

[@Texas-girll]

I just discovered this channel and y'all just posted love it

[@janetcallanan7020]

Please keep it up my 3 kids are long out of school but dang this takes me back I can't it's absurd the only borderline line crazy thing was ask can you please leave the corner of the white board with the homework up for an extra 5 minutes I'll erase it he's got some issues ADHD etc and I'll help you clean up or whatever you need I just want to work with you to help him because he gets distracted ( this was years ago there wasn't any other option to make sure about the homework assignment) she was so kind and after a little while he started doing it on his own but I still stopped by to see if she needed a hand

[@rebeccashields9626]

Lint roll her son 🤣💀. I can’t. I just can’t.

[@joyceespinoza9623]

I do home childcare (20+ years) and the only ridiculous request I have ever had was if I could put lotion on their child’s hand each and every time they wash their hands!! I flat out said, “No! But when my kids were little I put Auquaphor on their hands with socks when they fell asleep at bed time.” I guess that is what they did.🤷🏻‍♀️ But they did not bug me again about it!😅

[@rwilsonweir5697]

Loving you from Canada. My-oh-my how you make me laugh. Seems we share some of the same parents 🤪🤣

The paper clip and yearbook hahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrisbecker4412]

Okay, question. Since when do school districts give out teachers' phone numbers to parents??!!! When I was in school, if you wanted to speak to a teacher, you had to call the school, ask to be transferred to that teacher. Then you'd set up a time to have a meeting. I mean, unless schools are giving teachers work-only phones, which I doubt, why do these crazy people have the ability to talk to you on the weekends?!

[@blugreen123]

Teachers usually give out their cell phone numbers to parents. It's common. My head teacher texts parents often, and vice versa.

[@chrisbecker4412]

@@blugreen123 Thanks for answering! I guess I still don't understand why this is done. Protecting teachers' personal information like that seems to be a good way to not have issues such as the ones in the video. 🤷‍♀️

[@LaFleurSauvageGaming]

@@chrisbecker4412 I give out a google voice number that I change each semester. I explain to students and parents that it is only good for a semester, and will be switched later. It goes straight to voice mail during class hours, and from 7pm until 7am. Giving parents the ability to contact you solves a lot of issues before they become huge issues, and honestly most of what happens is I get texts from students asking when an assignment is due, like 5000 times....

[@angelaqiy]

I called parents when students needed to be picked up during disastrous weather. Some of them kept my number and started calling whenever they want so I don’t pick up unknown numbers any more.

[@ambermartin3961]

Both my kids have IEPs, and I would never ask their teachers to do anything ridiculous! Aside from figuring out ways I can help the teachers support my kids, I let them do their jobs in peace (ok, maybe I'm slightly more realistic because I'm an educator, but I do know other teachers who are parents who still make "interesting" requests).
