Mom vs Dad: Back to School

[@craigbradshaw293]

As the husband of a teacher, I appreciate what you said about them. Thank you for helping your kids teachers like you are. The clear the list gift is a great idea. They are very underapppreciated and deserve a ton of respect

[@swinksist]

Also a husband of a teacher. We provide so much for our kids teachers because we know the struggle. Show some support for your educators!

[@Julie-ey2lq]

Definitely make sure to treat your teachers. Amazon gift cards most importantly notes and comments to you and your boss how much appreciate the things they do with examples

[@faithreturns333]

Teachers in the modern world are ridiculously ignorant of almost everything they're supposed to be teaching! Have you talked to the society out there lately? They don't know how many states are in our country, they can't do basic math, they don't know how to spell, they have no idea what ZIP codes are for, unless it has something to do with TV or the internet these kids don't understand it whatsoever! So if I were you I wouldn't be bragging that you are related to a teacher! There are no good teachers because good teachers leave public schools to go to Charter Schools! And there are less and less of those people as well! Haven't you looked at Libs of tik tok? There are no good teachers anymore in public schools so get over yourself

[@faithreturns333]

@@swinksist no thank you! There are no good teachers in public schools anymore! Libs of tik tok proved that quite well

[@faithreturns333]

@@Julie-ey2lq teachers across the country are teaching kids about sex! These kids are graduating out of school and they can't do basic math! They have no idea that we have a country under a constitutional conservative! Teachers do not need to be respected nowadays because what they're teaching is the liberal propaganda! People like you who blindly support teachers are the problem! You are the reason we have bad teachers

[@karenhelser2834]

As a retired teacher who comes from a long line of teachers, bless you guys for the support. Everything you said about teachers is honoring and right on!!! Love your videos!!! Thanks for sharing! Have a great school year!

[@krystlepoulin6382]

Heidi looked liked she was 1 post-it away from going postal. Don't mess with the good post-its! 😆

[@karisma2882]

We need to see a video of Taylor picking the kids up in the T Rex costume!!!! That would be hilarious!!! XD XD

[@kirkygirl]

We *need* this. For posterity. Plus, you can save the footage for when they get married. 😉

[@littlelucky9879]

At first I was worried for heidi’s safety, driving around with a hot open coffee cup, but then I remembered if Taylor taught me anything, is that her cup is 90% creamer, she’ll be fine lol

[@lapislazarus8899]

That's why she didn't say "coffee" she said "....drink"

[@saltwaterfarm04]

This teacher thanks you. Parents supporting their kids is SO important. And your support of teachers is much appreciated. Thank you! You are both outstanding examples of great parents.

[@Nan-59]

I just realized Heidi said she’s giving TWO Amazon gift cards! Want to clear the list and another actually FOR THE TEACHER!! HEIDI , YOU WIN 🏆 Thank you for caring about teachers!! It’s been a tough few years and it was tough even before it was tough/er!!

[@egrace67]

I use the megaphone in my classroom 😄 Yes, I use it to get their attention- scare them out of their naps- The siren is fun for those times when collaborative work talk becomes toooooo loud😂 The best gift I could get from parents is support- I want nothing more than a supportive parent. make sure your child gets to bed early enough. Feed them breakfast before they come to school. Make sure they are prepared and have completed their work. Communicate with me. I am human and I am not perfect I make mistakes and I’m more than willing to admit that I make mistakes but come to me and talk to me. don’t talk trash about your child’s teacher in front of your child. It confuses them and it makes them think that they can be disrespectful in the classroom. you don’t have to like me but we can respect each other-

[@nikan7704]

Well said 👏

[@CelineK18]

I use the megaphone because I’m a library teacher and my room is huge. The megaphone really helps when I need to wrangle them back from check out time. Or when there’s a double class and I just can’t, lol

[@ninachand2075]

This ! 👍👍

[@catsj1767]

My child never woke up until the last moment. He is gf and couldn’t have breakfast at school. I worried about him. He made it through

20 something students in a class! That would be fantastic!! I am a woodshop teacher and normally have 40 plus kids at a time. Thanks for giving gifts to teachers!

[@gameover254286]

Yall are so correct with your comments on teachers. As someone who just left education we were seriously so under appreciated and under paid for the amount of stress that came with the job.

[@christydmartinez]

I love all these ideas, the moms and the dads. Two things: 1) as a front office worker at an elementary school, I see the struggle that teachers deal with on the daily (and yes, including weekends!). Our school system will not improve unless people contact their school boards and administrative departments of their districts, and vote to make changes in their elections as well. 2) I wrote notes to my boys when they were in school, all the way up through high school, and even their first year of college (my boys are now 33, 32, and 31). They still remember those notes and all three said that it was often the difference between a good and bad day. Show your kids some love! :)

[@camdean282]

Shout out to Heidi for the DC talk mention

[@latricebyrd313]

You both are great, and your ideas should be put in a book. Love it. Blessings!!🙏🏽

Ok Taylor had me at MCR for the playlist! 😂 Also Taylor in the T-Rex costume to Heidi: “So you wanna….?” 😂😂😂

[@geo102094]

Taylor's face at 2:04! 🤣 Also like how Heidi always says the word 'bag'!

[@justinpourtorkan4112]

Taylor and Heidi, I’m a teacher in Oklahoma. I’ve been watching you for years. Big fan. Thank you so much for your comments about supporting teachers. This means so so much to all of us. Thank you thank you both. Much love! Happy Back to School. Wishing your kids a wonderful year.

[@kaitlinciccarello72]

As a current teacher, often wish lists are for some of the “fun” things we wish we had in our classrooms that a budget didn’t cover. For example, while a school budget may cover paper & writing stuff it may not cover bins to put said paper & writing utensils in. Thank you for understanding the struggle we face & the support!! (& from experience the treats & extra gift cards we often share with our spouses who are our rocks at home!)

[@atcg8353]

Heidi we need a video on your food whiteboard! That seems life changing.

[@tanyamartino9030]

I introduced my kids to DC talk, hey, the love it! If we didn't homeschool it would totally be on my carpool lane play list! Lol

[@cd2290]

School teacher and mom here! I really appreciate what you said. Every year we pour a lot of our own money into our classrooms to make sure every kid has what they need, we have extra snacks for the kid that doesn’t have one, our classroom is welcoming, fun and organized with 20+ kids in it all day. All the while we often struggle to get a 1% raise which never offsets the increase in our medical insurance costs. But we teach because we love kids, we want them to reach their dreams and we want to help them all along that journey.

[@thetree6266]

Thank you for supporting teachers 😊 I'm a teacher and I love when parents understand!

[@elizabethvlach9902]

Thank you you for the teacher shoutout! ❤️ Next week I start year 24 of being a 4th grade teacher. I LOVE it, but it is draining even on the best of days.

Dude's items all had nothing to do with necessities.. was all fun stuff.. which is great but sometimes its sad how much the moms always do al the necessary things. I love tho that she had the warm drink for herself because it shows she is prioritizing her wellbeing also!

[@pmwyy]

I noticed that too. He can only be a fun dad because Mom is taking care of the practical stuff lol. Hopefully in real life they're splitting it evenly.

[@burdeegirl]

These videos always make me feel like Taylor is kind of just another kid in their lives and that Heidi is doing all the work. I'm sure it's not like that in real life but if it is I feel bad for her.

[@Alan-iu1we]

I understand the thought behind moms providing the "necessities" while dads seemingly goof around, but in all honesty this highlights to me what makes moms and dads different. What dads bring to the family is so vital. In most families I've been around, moms are ensuring the physical needs are being met, but dads (the good ones) are providing mental and emotional well-being. I'm sure both parents are seeking to provide in all these areas, but it's amazing to me how belittled fathers get for not "doing enough" when in reality dads are who most kids run to when they are frightened, sad, or excited. Everything Taylor had was thoughtful more to the kids emotional and mental well-being (fun wake up, fun pick up from school, message notes) and even the teacher's well-being got attention. Heidi had the kids physical well being in mind with her items (food lists, clothing etc). Both to me are vital, and one shouldn't be frowned down upon because it isn't addressing the physical "necessities".

[@myhappygecko2895]

@@Alan-iu1we mmm hmmmm.

[@christianamills2630]

I agree! As a mom, I really don't want to run after my kids in a t rex costume...I'm happy for my husband to take care of the silly, goofy stuff. It's fun just watching the kids enjoy their dad!

[@mbsmith2197]

The music is a number one for all parents every time anytime. Kids music is for preschool. Not the house or car. Also the post its are cute, but like the music those kind words and wisdom are spoke to everyday. Actually turning music off on the way to school just to talk to them about what to expect or if they have any Questions is always great. 6 adults and they had great times and memories. During pick up and drop offs. School buses in Cali died in the 90s
