I said yes and we've been happily married for 26 years. We replaced the fake gold band with real gold ones (I think they were $400 each) and I keep the engagement ring in the Pez dispenser in my 'box of things from Husmo'. I had no idea that ring-shaming was a thing. How sad for them.

As a parent who did the Parent part of the Distance Learning for her kindergartner for the whole year (as a kindergartener I had to be with her the whole time as she barely knew how to use a computer and couldn't read any directions and needed to be supervised of course) while working full time from home for a creative advertising agency- I can tell you that teachers ABSOLUTELY deserved a bonus this year. Not only are they still teaching, but most went above and beyond and extended their hours. I HATE when I hear people saying that teachers weren't actually teaching this year. They have done more than ever this year. And I would never call myself my daughter's teacher, I did refer to myself as the teacher's assistant though (it was a lot of work, honestly). I wouldn't even refer to myself as a homeschool teacher as home schooling is realistically a whole different ball game. Do we "parent assistant teachers" deserve a bonus as well? Oh man, that would be nice. But parents do a lot of hard work ALL of the time without actual payment. I'm just glad that whole mess is over.

Hmm... to be fair... I was with someone who had HORRIBLE taste in jewelry, like, really really bad. As kindly as possible, I asked him to stop buying me jewelry. When it came time to purchase an engagement ring I asked if I could pick out something that was within budget. He was totally fine with that. It meant that he didn't have to do the running around, and I'd get something I actually liked.

[@dalpz205]

Seems crappy to just expect a certain amount be paid AND say so. Statistics show the more you spend on the engagement ring the shorter the marriage is. I picked out my engagement rings. I feel no one is going to know my taste better than me. Also didn't spend a gazillion. Admittedly, was going to get a beautiful 20-yr anniversary ring but at 19 yrs and 7 months with late husband the universe suddenly decided I should be miserable for a decade. 😐

I am a teacher and I can say I have never worked harder. It makes me sad that people believe teachers are lazy or doing less. I spend about four hours each weekend to make slides that are interactive and engaging for my students. I prep bags after I zoom with my student, plan, email parents, and attend many after school meetings. Those bags are things I purchase and prep. We have three experiments worth of materials for the next three weeks. Now my focus is one teaching everyday and now prepping my classroom for in- person instruction. Teacher are asked to come during our spring break to measure, move furniture, and make individual supplies for each student. Then I need to watch videos on how to use the technology provided. I love my students and families that’s why I do this. But it is not kind to think that teachers are not stressed and trying their absolute best to make this year memorable for their students.

Teachers are truly skilled and under appreciated. And as much as I’m a great mom, I’m not a great teacher. Also with the kids not in regular school hours I still have to work a full job and work with my child being home (either w a sitter or family) so after I work a full day I still have to try to help her through the school stuff she would’ve normally learned all day at school.

I puts the woman into the position of the supplicant, painting the guy as the one to do her a HUGE favor. I think thats wrong and very, very old-fashioned.

I will never understand people's obsession over engagement rings. In Germany you traditionally pick out your wedding bands together and both partners will first wear the ring on the left side when they are engaged and switch to the right hand once they are married. I find it so gross that it is always about money and spending a lot on a ring in the US. This is not what love should be about.

[@silverdragonfour]

A lot of the mentality today was created by marketing companies. The people in the diamond industry wanted to make more money so they started pushing the thought of diamonds being the ultimate stone for engagement. Then hey started shaming men for trying to spend anything less than three months pay on a ring. It’s all toxic and honestly was just started by greedy capitalists wanting to make even more money.

[@koalaeucalyptus]

It's actually very similar in Brazil, but with switched hands! You start off engaged with the gold bands on yout right ring finger, then switch to the left when married. In my case, though, we decided to just start directly with the bands on the left hand when we got married, no ring before. I actually had this embarrassing moment with a friend (embarrassing for her, I was fine with it LOL) when I first told people about the engagement. My friend (born in America) immediately asked to see my hand, and I just responded with a confused face... until I understood, she understood, she got all red in the face, and we had a laugh.

[@silverdragonfour]

@@DS-qw1tp I don’t recommend cubic, not because it isn’t pretty, but because it can’t take heat. You won’t be able to repair the ring if anything happens to the metal because the cubic will crack as soon as you heat it.

My son swears that a lot of it was submitted and it just never came up as submitted or graded. I saw him do work. There is some that he didn't do, but there is no way that he didn't do anything. She also claimed he wasn't logging in to the meetings, but I saw him with his iPad and heard her voice. And, when he was tested he knew everything he needs to know to move forward. If he didn't do any work or go to class, how did he learn a year's worth of stuff? He's smart but he's not a Borg drone. He can't just access information from the hive mind. Now he has to do Summer school, but not regular Summer school, because he doesn't need to actually learn anything. He just has to do work, and from the way his teacher was talking, a large amount that seems more like punishment than anything. She and his other teacher also pretty much came out and said they thought he was stupid until he took the tests. What's stupid is not telling me there was a problem until everything had gone to hell.

[@Voidaken]

That wasn't really the question, though. The question was if home-schoolers asking for that bonus is entitled. I don't think anybody needed a justification for the teachers or really anybody's extra efforts to get through the pandemic.

[@isabelle2000d]

You know there have been some great teachers that have gone above and beyond for there students during the pandemic and that is amazing and probably 90% of teachers. There are also the teachers who failed my brother because he got COVID after they went back to school and he had to stay home. No online work from those 2 teachers. The other teachers where amazing.

[@LB-gz3ke]

@@Voidaken I was a little confused by the homeschoolers comment. I presume they mean traditional homeschooling which is something some parents have chosen to do for years that has nothing to do with the pandemic. Those parents made that choice for whatever reason so, no they don't deserve a bonus for doing what they chose to do. Traditional teachers were not trained in online schooling and have made huge changes to help students. They deserve the kudos. Now, if the "homeschooling" referenced is about parents forced to help with schooling at home due to pandemic, that is different. They at least deserve a pat on the back.

I'm a former teacher, still in touch with other teachers. Teaching classes over zoom, and all the others stuff a teacher needs to do, day to day, is actually taking more time and effort. Remember a teacher is "working" daytime in public, but prep and marking are done evenings and weekends.

[@missheniki]

I’m a uni prof. Creating online content even in micro lesson format (10-12 min videos) would take 2-3 hours for each video. It was insane. It also took me twice as long to mark each assignment on screen versus printed essays. We did what we could considering a lack of training and direction.

[@koalaeucalyptus]

@@missheniki Gosh yes, correcting and marking assignments became the single most hated task in the job for me. I still love teaching, and believe in the importance of homework and assignments, BUT... oh, I came to hate them so much.

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

I can’t understand why this is. Maybe my kids schools are different to yours, but they are doing the same lessons they always have, but with half the kids in school and half watching from home on zoom. How does that take any extra time?

[@koalaeucalyptus]

@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats I'm happy to see parents seeking information! And the answer is: exactly because of the virtual environment. In person lessons and virtual lessons require different materials and mediums, and the burden of adapting everything for both fell onto us, teachers. Also, managing hybrid classes is like managing two different classrooms simultaneously - the level of attention and multitasking required is enough to stress anyone. Of course, after some time, most adaptations are done, but good teachers are always updating materials, which now takes double the effort due to the different mediums. Getting students online to pay attention and assessing their level of understanding is also a bigger challenge, as is keeping them interested. Also, correcting assignments and such takes much longer in virtual mediums. The blurred lines (which were already not very defined to begin with) between personal and work time when working from home also play a role. All of this adds up really quickly.

[@Gna_d54]

@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats Clearly you are lacking perspective. This individual very plainly laid out why it is taking extra time. Great your kids school is NOW in a situation where regular classes are resuming and students who can't go in can just watch a live feed but it is infinitely more time consuming to actually prepare videos in advanced with lecture material, prepare alternate assignments for home use, create alternate projects that can be done with digital tools, be available to answer questions outside of the usual classroom hours, all the extra required work needed to help students struggling with the remote environment and keep parents updated etc.

It is not my style and my husband knew that because I have a ring that my mother gave me and I always said I wanted a ring like that or that one but fitted to my tiny finger. Anyway o got a plain ring because he was afraid I got robbed and also, I always said I wanted something I could use in the street. The ring he gave me was huge, the small stone felt off, it was fixed but it was loose and finally they had to re-made it and now it's asymmetrical and somehow it changed colours (it's was white gold, now it's yellow). It it not my style and we both suffered with the jewelry store BUT I used it everyday anyways. He choose something simple and I guess I'm a grown woman who can buy jewelry I love anytime. It doesn't have to be the engagement ring, because marriage it's not about the ring design or the size of a diamond. Also, it's just a ring.

[@JessicaGaspan]

I work for a public high school, not as a teacher but as a tutor/teacher's assistant and can confirm that work has been MUCH more stressful during the pandemic - both for the teachers that still cared a lot about their students' education and for the teachers that felt otherwise. Even as a tutor I felt I was being underpaid and doing a lot more work that I was being paid for because of the extra stuff we had to do and how much more EFFORT we had to put in to MAKE SURE that the students are actually understanding what they learn. We got paid for only 15 hours a week but were expected to always be available for the students. The biggest issue that I can recognize is students not taking advantage of free resources that get offered. Many schools have tried to compensate for what we know is lower education quality by giving free tutoring every day after school or having workshops. One teacher I know is always calling her 12th graders by the phone to remind them to turn something in every other night because she was afraid that they would not graduate if she didn't try to hold them MUCH more accountable by holding these 17-18 yr old's virtually by the hand. However, I do know some teachers who have completely given up, which makes me very sad. So yeah, I kind of felt like that post was entitled (at least for the high school setting), though I can see the situations where parents may feel that way..

[@druidriley3163]

I found it hilarious as well. Same parents who won't vote for a teacher pay raise because their "job is easy and they get off for summers" complaining about having to deal with their own kids all day. Why did they even have kids if the kids were going to be so annoying to them?

[@AnikaGoslen]

Also from a teacher (1st grade), the parents that are standing over their kids’ shoulders ‘teaching’ them are just giving their child the answers which means the kid doesn’t actually learn anything. It also means that I don’t know what the kid can and cannot do on their own to help fill in those gaps. That mom’s claim that they’re doing the same job we are is very entitled and very hurtful.

[@angelicamartinez4325]

Not only that but the parents are at home giving the kids assignment that teachers made. Not researching state standards, not teaching the content, they just have to make sure their kids get on zoom pay attention and do their work. . . You know BE A PARENT!!! Parents should always make sure their kids go to school pay attention in school and do their homework. Parents are only upset because now they have to spend all day with the kids they brought to this world and don't just get to give them to someone else for 8hrs per day.

My mother homeschooled and I can guarantee that the parent standing over the child’s shoulder, giving them the answers, is not how it worked at our house. It’s hurtful that you would assume all homeschool parents don’t care about their children learning properly.

[@Nuswodahs]

@@angelicamartinez4325 A lot of parents have trouble making ends meet whether it’s a one or two paycheck home. A parent staying home to “watch” their child do school because they can’t be home alone means the parent can’t go to work and get a paycheck to pay the bills and feed the children. Times were tough before the pandemic and even worse now. I’m sure children, being truly homeschooled and not online, are definitely not getting the answers handed to them. The parent still has to follow the curriculum and learn how to teach all subjects not just one or two at a time and learn how to teach the same subjects as they advance through the years as well. Pay for all the books, supplies, lunches, papers, desks, make tests and more. Their children still have to take the same end of the year tests as all the other children in the state do. And they get paid for none of it despite being more than a full time job and have a paying job on the side. Just because people are at home doesn’t mean it’s all rainbows and sunshine. Hard work is still hard work.

[@megs2401]

Public school high school teacher here and I can tell you that we worked HARDER this year than any other year. My district started off online, and I had to prep for two different classes, 5 classes total, every day. I had to record grades and load ALL of my materials into the online platform so that those students who were out (whether quarantined or doing the Online Learning Program) could access and follow along with the material. I would spend hours creating my own curriculum materials, videos, assessments, etc, and making sure they were useable for each student. It was exhausting. Even when we were in person, I still had to load all of my materials into the online platform. Luckily, I'm ver tech savvy, but many of my colleagues were/are not. So, in response for your comment about the parent complaining about teacher pay increases, I would greatly disagree. Yes, parents worked hard to help their children through school, but the teachers were NOT being lazy or working less (at least not the teachers I work with).

My sister is a teacher and this pandemic has been really hard for her. She's had to take on a lot of extra work. Along with the usual marking/planning and zoom lessons, she is expected to make calls everyday to check on students mental health and welfare. In the UK, final grades are being given by teachers which means they are having to do tests in school which are marked by the teachers instead of the exam board, it's a lot of extra marking. Also, it's not really teaching, more like supervising if they're actual teacher has provided all the resources, as well as holding zoom classes. I think a lot of people forget that many teachers are parents themselves and are having to 'teach' their own children, so just like the rest of the country, they're having to balance working at home and childcare.

[@annahbranch]

Thoughts on the teaching/homeschool comment: I had to teach virtually and it was so much harder than the years I taught in person! It is true that the hours face to face with the students was less, but that was because the little first graders couldn’t handle sitting in a chair glued to a screen for all that time. It was torture enough the time they did do it; any more and they would have been just burning out, not learning. If they were in the classroom, they would be up and down, running around the room, learning actively through games, crafts, etc. We can’t facilitate any of that through a screen, especially when we don’t know what sorts of supplies they have at home. We did our best to maximize the time we could command their attention on screen. The remaining school hours (and beyond) that we weren’t on with the children, we were overhauling the curriculum, trying to create activities that allowed the students to learn off screen, with as much movement, engagement, and immediate feedback as possible, with as little input from parents as possible. We knew that, in many cases, those assignments weren’t getting done at all, for a myriad of reasons both good and bad. Of course, there were some teachers who did little, but so many others were like me, putting in crazy hours for what seemed like little gain. We greatly appreciate the parents who put in the face to face time when we could not, as well as the ones who had to work and did what they could with the time and resources they had. On the other hand, I grew up homeschooled. My mom did an amazing job, sacrificing the extra income she could have made, to raise and educate me. It was always an annoyance to think how my parents had to give up some of their lessened paycheck to fund the schooling of others with more, to receive none if it back in the form of school supplies or anything similar.

Most of the "homeschooling" is not the parents sitting down with the child and doing one on one learning, it's mostly the parents yelling at the kids to go on Zoom.

I homeschooled two children for 7 years. It's a lot harder than it looks but also really fun. At least in the elementary grades. The thing that annoys homeschoolers is that we pay taxes the same as everyone else yet the government pays approximately $8,000 per student to a public school but at most $1,000 to a homeschool parent and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get that. At least that's what it's like in BC. It's definitely something you have to be committed to and sacrifice for and it doesn't work for everyone

So as a teacher, I acknowledge that every country, let alone district, worked differently, but durring the pandemic my work load tripled, not only was I zoom teaching all my lessons, but I was having to plan brand new schemes of work untill 10/11pm most evenings. Because we weren't seeing the students in person, my schools policy is thay we have to mark twice as many pieces of work to check progress and understanding, meaning I was marking 1000 essays every 6 weeks, on top of teaching 6 lessons a day, and planning. Meaning I was working on average 12-14 hour days on the weekday and 5/6 hours on average each day on the weekend. And as a form tutor once a week I also had to call all of my 30 students parents to do a wellbeing check. And those calls would take hours! My school also remained open for key worker students, so for one day a week I was in school running one of those rooms alongside teaching virtually. Yes it is incredibly difficult to home school, and I feel very sorry for parents with multiple children and very hectic work lives themselves, and I praise parents for all the support they have given, but the rhetoric that teachers have been lazy and done nothing is so insulting. I can't speak for every country or district but everyone in my local area and school who teaches has had the same experience, and I personally get very hurt by all these 'teachers are lazy views', when I literally made my condition flare severely (and kept working through it) from how much I was running myself ragged trying to provided the best online education possible.

I think it's awesome that the teachers received a bonus, they have worked hard, and I can only imagine the challenges in virtual learning. But I also understand where the parent is coming from. I think the parent was being sarcastic but trying to make a point at the same time. Even though homeschooling parents pay a lot in taxes, they don't receive a lot of benefits from the public school system. All of the books and supplies they use come out of pocket.

Teachers also buy school supplies out of pocket

[@priscillawilson2634]

The teachers have been doing ALL the work. really above and beyond.

I absolutely love all of your content. No matter what it's about. As long as you keep making content I shall keep watching for all time Potato Queen!!!!🥔👑❤

[@jennefferhernandez8251]

I can’t stand when parents say they need to be paid to have their children at home 🙄 the teachers are still doing the teaching!!! I literally just have to do the same thing i have done when they go into the school building. Once in a blue moon i may need to help troubleshoot but i don’t do nearly as much work as i know the teachers do.... i say you have bigger issues if you have such a problem with having your kids around you more than usual🤷🏻‍♀️

[@marilynj.barnes8036]

Right!!!!!! It’s a bit annoying at times bc I would have to listen in and assist (my daughter is 5) but what I’m doing doesn’t differ from when I assist with homework. Parents who claim the right to be compensated while homeschooling are INDEED ENTITLED!!!!! The teachers are still providing the lesson plan, activities, etc.. Major eye roll on that one. Tsk tsk

THANK YOU!!!

As a child of two teachers, I took that Karen idea kinda personally. I watch my poor parents struggle even now as an adult to make sure their students are prepared and well educated and even try to make the process easier for those they know have difficulties. And for a parent to say they deserve the same bonuses, I was angry. I’ve watched my parents’ health decline this past year because they were so stressed trying to covert everything to online and give up their own time to aid their students.

[@saltedcharm8656]

@@Octchild85 Any money paid to these entitled teachers is TOO much. There should not have been any bonuses for all the BS that we had to put up with from them and their unions.

I proposed to my husband. We went and got custom made rings together. Mine has the tri-force in diamonds and both has the inscription: it's dangerous to go alone.

Dropping in to say I've been binge watching your videos for months! You're hilarious and I appreciate you 😊😂

[@hayleykelley1766]

Teacher's are doing 2 - 3 times as much work as in-classroom teaching. And if they are a special Education Teacher, that is magnified - especially for those who Teach zoom, in-person, AND hybrid. It's tough, and I feel for the parents, but no one is having a party here...

[@kellyvigliotti8465]

I enjoy all your videos! I’m fighting multiple myeloma and spend a lot of time in bed. In 2012 they gave me 2 to 3 years but God has other plans. I appreciate you brightening my day! 🥰♥️

[@brandiwooten4495]

I’m a high school teacher and I worked so many more hours during the pandemic than I have ever worked. It took me hours to prepare assignments and then days to grade all of it… in addition to constant messages from kids at all hours of the day and night who didn’t read the instructions or watch the videos that I recorded them. And we were responsible for contacting kids and parents, especially when the kid was not participating online. I had quite a few 15-16 hour days when we were learning how to suddenly transition online. When we went back to school in August, kids had the option of online or in person… so basically we were doing 2x the work.

My ring was not at ALL what I would have picked out. Totally opposite then what I told him I was interested in, but he had already bought my ring. And I LOVE IT!!! 💘

Same here! I got a nice dark blue sapphire, and it’s different but it opened my mind to different ideas about wedding rings. It’s beautiful ❤

1 of the most beautiful karma moments... I heard cars honking so I went on my porch to find out why. A dog was in the middle of the road & some girl driving yelled "Get your Fing dog b*tch"!!! I responded with Its not my Fing dog b*tch! She shut up & turned around 😂

I always thought that a good reply to the free photography question would be "Of course I will be at your event and take photos 📷. However, you would need to pay me if you want to have access to those photos afterwards."

[@coloraturaElise]

To clarify why teachers were getting bonuses during the pandemic: they were teaching kids in their classrooms, sitting there, AND kids online learning remotely from home AT THE SAME TIME. This is the definition of INSANE, and a bonus doesn't begin to compensate us for doing this. A homeschooling parent did not have to do anything differently during the pandemic.

[@zacharyhagen2307]

Tbh, teaching in any way is difficult, but those “homeschooling” parents legitimately have no idea.

[@brandimunguia]

My friend taught her class via zoom 4 hours a day, plus made lesson plans and work books for all her students, took care of her 1 year old and homeschooled her other 5 children. Plus she tattooed on the side to make some extra money. Not once did she complain about being on either side of it. Do you know why? Because she chose to have all 6 of those kids and do everything that came along with each and every one of them.

I've been asked to model clothing for free, and they wanted me to pay for my own transportation (80+ miles each way) AND I had to BUY FROM THEM whichever outfit they wanted me to model ($400-$3,000 a piece, and I would have to buy multiple items because I had to be head-to-toe decked out in their wares. I didn't do it.

Before I even started the video, after reading the engagement ring thumbnail, my first thought was, "hopefully it's not for you, it's for their other girlfriend." 🤣🤣 It shouldn't be for them. Well said Charlotte!
