Teachers Reading Ridiculous Parent Requests: PART 8

[@desertfish6239]

A parent said, "You never let my child go to the treasure box!" I told her I didn't have one. She said all teachers have one. I told her I chose to invest my money in a Roth and a 403b instead of cheap trinkets that kids lose or break anyway. She hasn't spoken to me since. :)

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

You need a new career. While I agree on the uselessness of most of the trinkets you just come off as a shitty teacher. You could have informed her of whatever incentive/recognition program that you use instead of dismissing her legitimate question. When you have two elementary classes and one of them receives recognition while the other doesn’t the children notice. You’re so proud of yourself for cutting off the communication between parent and teacher. There is something wrong with you.

[@desertfish6239]

@@Supersquishyawesomeness This parent has been very dismissive and condescending when efforts were made to discuss poor attendance (50% absences) grades, and behaviors throughout the year. Our school does not even have a full-time admin to assist in addressing these issues. We went from 3 full-time admins to none. We have a part-time admin who is not invested in the school. The parent was told previously of recognition and incentives as well as consequences. She was also given a handout explaining recognition that she can refer to at any time. My diplomacy ran out. Other families are great. The only thing "wrong" with me is I continue to stay and try and work in a difficult situation. Don't worry though. I am walking out in May and never returning. By the way, my evals have been excellent for over 20 years.

[@Ladycrafty6]

@@Supersquishyawesomeness In all due respect, I don’t think she’s a bad teacher! How many parents offer to donate small trinkets for the class? The cost can become overwhelming when you have 25 students in a class. Offering incentives such as lunch with the teacher, 5 minutes of play at the end of the day, etc is beneficial as well. Why is it fair for teachers to spend hundreds, yes hundreds, of dollars out of their pocket to essentially get a student to work? If a decent report comes home, the parent should provide a treat! What do you think is a better solution? Please consider both sides before calling names. Just saying…stay blessed!

A student was missing 90% of her task & it was 3 days bef the end of the semester. The student did no school work in class for the entire quarter despite emails, letters, texts, & calls home. So, mom wanted me to spend my holiday weekend helping her to catch up because she had social engagements during the 5 day school day. When I stated, No, I don't get paid to work on the weekends & I am spending that time with my family. The parent told me I'm suppose to work for free because her sister, who's a teacher, said it comes with the job, i.e., weekends & holidays. I said, I have no parents who work without getting paid. If they do, there's a name for that & it was outlawed by the Emancipation Proclamation.

[@terrydillon9323]

I think so many parents today think it is up to everyone else to raise their child. They make babysitters out of teachers. Teachers are there to teach. Yes little children have bathroom problems and teachers have to be mindful of that, but teachers are there to teach. My father always told me, you go to school to learn, you show respect for your teacher, and you do not disrupt class and interfere with the learning of others.

[@pixiebells]

I teach at a daycare center and well doing things like potty training is part of my job I'm still there to teach you don't do it for them you help them understand how to do the process of using the bathroom properly so you're technically still teaching them. You're not doing it for them and that's the crux of this absurdity the parent expects the teacher to do everything for them instead of teach the child how to do it themselves!

[@tammyhanlon3057]

It takes a village, that was the beginning of this mess.

[@ttintagel]

You've got to wonder about these parents - when they were schoolchildren, did their teachers make them potato lunches every day and sniff the bathroom after them? Why would it ever occur to them to make these bizarre requests?

[@catara99]

Honestly, I think it's cause of most parents having their kids in daycare fron birth. The daycare teaches the kid everything. I paid alot of money every mth for my daughter's daycare when we both had to work and commute for 10-12 hrs/day in a big city area. They had to change her diapers, then help potty train her, they provided the healthy breakfast/lunch/snacks, outdoor time, added the preschool learning, everything was an add on from what we did with her at home. They asked for our input so they could keep her on similar routines while at the daycare. They did this for each child in every age group, and of course, there were several teachers/aides. I think however, parents fail to realize that school is not daycare. I no longer pay over $1,000/mth for that level of care bc my daughter goes to free public school. I think too many parents can't put 2 and 2 together LOL. I would never expect my child's teachers to do this stuff.

@@catara99 Great points. Also, teachers can't do this by state law. For example, kid gets a diaper rash & parental lawsuits to the district & state become rampid. Paras & nurses are however licensed to provide this service under special conditions & parental permission, IEP. Daycare workers aren't educated certified teachers, e.g., teacher college, BS, state certification & daycares are not schools, academies, nor learning centers. The states need to update the labels these marketing businesses use to confuse parents. Anyone can open a daycare business & call it a school, in most states. One of my teachers left the public schools & opened her own daycare, $47,500/yr vs. $120K/yr. You paid for a very expensive child care service to ensure that your child was school ready. Not all parents can afford high quality daycare.

The only thing I ever asked of my daughters teachers was if they could understand that she and I were leaving an abusive environment and were coming from homeschooling into the public arena for the fist time in years. She wasn't great at sitting still in class, she always had to insert her opinion, and the teachers said they repeatedly had to remind her that THEY were in fact the teacher, not her. Those things were my fault, because her learning time was always an open discussion between she and I. We focused on things like vocabulary, math ideas, basic math, and her character, we visited museums everywhere and I had planned to work on handwriting next year, but she wanted to go to public school now and I wanted her to get as much out of it as she could. She was always getting into trouble and being marked off for her handwriting. That wasn't her fault, it was mine. So, I went in and asked them to please send home some handwriting worksheets and we would work on them at home, and I asked them not to hold it against her that I hadn't focused on that area with her yet. That was the only meeting we had. I couldn't imagine the audacity of some of these requests.

I’m not even a teacher but it someone walked up to me and told me to prep potatoes for their kid’s lunch or bake their kid a birthday cake, I would have asked where my paycheck from them was because I wouldn’t do that for free. And there had better be a 15% tip.

When my husband was in 2nd grade, his teacher brought in a refrigerator box for one kid to sit in. It had a little flap that could open to pass work in or out, but then the flap had to close the rest of the time. Kids were so traumatized from her attitude (she yelled a lot too) that some started having bathroom accidents. She got fired.

[@sjacks15]

One year I built dividers out of cardboard between desks (NOT around them) to interrupt some eye lines between kids. I had one particular class that was like beta fish, if they could see each other they were gonna start fighting. But if I just built a cardboard wall I could sit them right next to each other, they could see me and the whole rest of the room but not each other, and class could continue peacefully. Boxing a kid in would have been way out of line though.

Taught from 2001 to 2011 (7th grade). Many of these made me laugh, and yet after more than 10 years "out the game," some of these triggered me...apparently, I still have some healing to do! 🤣

I am a 7th grade Advanced Mathematics teacher. I keep all assignments stored for the year just in case parents "BELIEVE" the student turned in the assignments or I threw the assignments in the trash. 😐 I RECENTLY received an email from a parent asking me to go through all assignments I have and provide them to the student to review for the semester exam. 🤯 Mind you, they have a REVIEW sheet and test reviews ONLINE! I politely responded, " He can review his online tests/quizzes or use his review. Oh! Her final response was, "I hope you help me by getting all assignments together in order for him to be successful". What the?🤬🤬🤬 I want to remind you I am a math teacher and we work on topics DAILY!!!

[@marinam.2293]

One of my friends teaches first grade, so I get a lot of "crazy parent" stories from her. Earlier this year, one boy's mother brought a bottle of Nix (head lice treatment) and told the teacher that she had to treat her son at school, since he could've only gotten them from someone in his class. Excuse me, WHAT?? 😲 No, we don't do that at school! How I wish my friend had been making this up...

[@annbruce4614]

The questons are absurd that is true and your delivery is amazing. You are a star comedian! Thank you so much!

[@ednapuckett1042]

LOL I’m a mother of 3; now in their 30’s. I would have never twisted my mouth to say/request the things these parents have asked, but I might have instituted the refrigerator box on a couple of them at home if I’d thought about it!

[@leanne7832]

When I taught ESE Pre-K/K, I had a kitchen in my classroom. A parent asked if we would cook her son scrambled eggs and toast every morning for breakfast if she sent in eggs, bread and butter every week. She said that he got up early to catch the bus and wouldn't eat before he left, he wouldn't eat breakfast in the cafeteria like the other students because he was picky and if she cooked it and sent it with him it would be cold before he got to school and we went to the cafeterial.

[@caitlinbures4802]

All your videos just make me feel like the worlds best parent!!! These people be crazy and shouldn’t have children!!!!

[@janedoe4471]

A parent once told me I had to accept her child’s exam question answer which was in feet, I calmly explained we live in a country that works in metric, 12 inches to a foot, 4 inches to 10 centre meters but I was happy to convert it and give half marks, at which point the parent said “what do you mean?! HER FOOT ISNT EVEN 12 INCHES”……….. kid had literally answered in her personal feet…….. righto

[@jessbat07]

Have me cracking up with this commentary! 🤣 it is soo on point!

[@melissasaint3283]

2:20 in my town, there was a teacher who had a refrigerator box, with wallpaper inside and the top cut out, that she would place over the desk (and body) of any child whom she found distractable when they were distracted. She would sometimes leave it there until lunch/recess/the end of school, whichever came first. It was clearly considered a humiliating mark of shame, Because it had a very lasting effect on every person I later knew from that teacher's class who had this done to them. Worst of all, once it was over you, you couldn't see the board or hear anything that was being taught!! This was done from the late 70s through very early 90s though...and we know what Gen X childhoods were like...so I don't know a single person whose parents did anything about it. Most of them said their parents did not believe them.

[@RessurrectionGraves]

The sarcasm is important and hilarious, and is all of us. People are nuts!

[@JillRhoads]

I once got an SMS from a kid's father just days before parent-teacher meeting. The problem was that the SMS wasn't for me but for his mistress and was a detailed description what he wanted to do to her. It was so graphic that there were some words that even I didn't even know the meaning of and had to ask a colleague...and I'm a science and sex-ed teacher.

[@Goldies86]

"The devil be buuusssy" 😂😂😂 YAS! Hahaha. Keep singing those praise songs so that tongue stays tame! LOL. Oh man, your videos are amazing and always give me the hearty laugh I need.

I had the school board tell me I had to prepare exams for an hour each in English, Maths, Science, Geography and preferably History .... mind you we are talking first graders here, most of them can not even read.

[@allisonharranmua8193]

Once had a parent loose her mind when she found out I have learning disabilities because I was "going to teach them to her daughter"... I was a student teacher at the time. It was my last straw and one of the huge reasons I got my degree but then never taught. Totally put me off teaching. Sad, because I was one of the few capable of seeing special education from both sides, and I got really good critiques from my supervising teacher for it but the problem was I was still so fresh with my own trauma and that parent yelling and screaming in my face about my worst fear (not being good enough at teaching because of my disability) just ended it for me. I got through my finals and never went into a classroom again.

[@stevestringer7351]

I love your videos!!! The notes from parents with these CRAZY requests indicate how out of touch these parents are. I am I the final years of my teaching career (almost 27 years out of a planned 29) and have enjoyed, for the most part my time as a band director on the public school as well as the collegiate levels.... but this makes me realize that I am so lucky to not have been an academic teacher.... I would have really gone bonkers more than I already am! LOL BEST WISHES AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

[@paulagardner3218]

These questions illustrate the reason I always say that schools aren't to blame for student's poor classroom performance. Parents who are so uninvolved in their children's lives that they can't be bothered to prepare lunches or bake birthday cakes or get their children to school on time...there's where the blame lies.

In about 1995/96, my mom taught at this tiny private school in the middle of nowhere. Each class was mixed grades, and hers was 5th/6th. She created her own 'time out' booth with a desk surrounded by a PVC frame and brown paper. Oddly enough, several kids BEGGED to use it because they thought they'd focus better in there. That surprised her, still seems to now - but not as much as the fact that one kid thought the little rubber thing she used on her finger to separate papers was a dildo. The fact that that child knew the term dildo just had her FLOORED...

My son and daughter in law are both teachers. One teaches elementary school and the other teaches high school. I hear some outrageous stories from them regarding parents. These are two hardworking teachers who everyday go to work to teach our children and they have to deal with parents with unreal expectations. One of my daughter in law’s student’s parents told my daughter in law to make sure she changed his diaper more often. Huh? This kid is 10.

My son in high school was a straight A student. One year his English teacher was a BIG-time feminist. All the book requirements were about women. They would get into debates, like one time it was over a woman killing her baby, so all of her family survived the holocaust. I told him, well until you are in that situation, you don't know what you would do. He didn't listen, insulted her, and then started to receive C papers. He complained to me asked me to go to the school. I laughed and said hell no. The one person you never piss off is the English teacher because many of your grades are subjective. I told him you created this drama, I told him to stop arguing with her, if he just felt the need go after class. He said this is not fair. I laughed and said wait till you get in college. Not one of those professors is going to give a durn about you. Get ready. The happy ending and or sad is her sister died of brain cancer. She was absent for a few weeks. I guess when she returned, she thought she was ready but broke down crying in class. All the students were just sitting there, and my son stood up and hugged her and took her out of the class to the principle. I asked him why he did this when he hated her and he said, OMG, mom, I never could hate her THAT MUCH. He said it was so sad, I couldn't just sit there. After that they became friends and would have their debates after class. He said, she ended up being one of the best English teachers he ever had and learned a lot. He still didn't get A from her, but he said it was always deserving. He is now 26 and they are still friends on facebook.
