Right or Wrong? The Teacher Edition!

[@blueridgebunny8894]

My son and I love listening to this podcast together, it’s made him really appreciate his teachers. He always talks about how funny the pod is 😂 this episode has us rolling 😂😂 we just got tickets to go see the show and we’re so excited!

[@TeachersOffDutyPodcast]

Aww yay! 🥳 We’re so glad you’re enjoying the podcast and can’t wait to see you at the show!

My second year teaching I shared a meme on Facebook that said “U ever be so stressed and u look in the mirror and ur like wow ok great l'm fucking ugly too” and was called into my assistant principal’s office and told that a parent had complained that I was cursing on social media, that I should remove the post and withhold from cursing online in the future. Do they hear the words coming out of their kids mouths? 😑

[@Lisammifsud]

I'd be more concerned that a parent is on your social media because the parent needs to learn boundaries.

[@madomfitness523]

@@Lisammifsud Agreed. I never add parents. Small town problems… My Facebook is now so LOCKED down. Fake name and all 🫠

[@illyanaliles7170]

I have been binge, watching all of these found a couple fell in love with them. These are always wonderful to watch and listen to, and then out of left field “I got my cats front paws declawed” well I was liking the video

[@gchavez26]

I teach at an all-girls school and the fear of being alone with a student is REAL (male teacher here). I’ve only ever hugged students at graduation when their families are there (and usually only students whose parents I’ve gotten to know). Thanks for bringing that up

[@Lisammifsud]

I went to a mix of coed and all girls catholic schools. When I got to year 11 and 12 watching a newly graduate male student at the school..I cringed. The poor guy is just trying to do his job not be objectified by 17 Yr old female students and this was the 90s

[@Anonymousrespectfulrep]

The best homework I was given in elementary school was to read an ACTUAL BOOK for at least 20 minutes, and do activities like reading your bible (The Best One!) flying a kite, going to the park and tough grass, and taking a photo for proof. This generation needs it!

[@mtjcassidy]

My town is so small that I have been friends with the parents since we were kids. So I don't have a choice! I'm related to some students!

[@Lisammifsud]

My home town in Aus is 10k, my mum snd her siblings went through the school which was in my Nan's street. You farted it was made public faster than you can say my bad 😊

[@donalddepew5373]

My sister teaches in a small town in a different state... alot of people from there know of me & some personally know me now. Two of my parents cousins taught me & grew up w/alot of my friends parents... you just can't avoid being friends w/the whole town & the schools a large part of that

[@Elainaj1201]

I’m glad she said something about declawing cats, no judgment over here though. 😅 I personally just don't want it to be normalized, still not sure why it’s not illegal in all 50 states yet.

[@SonyaBalloonMamaOliver]

Im not a teacher, but a patent. In my humble opinion, teachers/educators at ALL levels, whether they are teachers for a career or the love of teaching; are TEACHERS during whatever your regular school hours are. Once you're 'off' the clock, you are just a human with your own life and should have full control over your PERSONAL life. PERIOD!!

[@shannonstilwell8225]

I’m a mom not a teacher and Jess was first teacher I followed years ago and loved her. I follow all three of yall now and miss Jess as a teacher and miss when she posted. Y’all are awesome.

[@7200sunshine]

"The standard we hold teachers is ridiculous," is legit! That higher standard should come with a higher pay! 😉

[@Tiona_S]

I COMPLETELY understand the C.U.M folder joke! They really should rethink that name 😂

[@angeladierschke8688]

The incident with the sweatshirt on the principal, I would say that the school is an environment with a dress code, and the principal did not wear the shirt to school. Outside of school, there is no dress code--except the ones their parents establish. In addition, adults have different privileges than children.

[@SFranklin]

I love listening to this podcast even though I’m not a full-time teacher. You guys need a music teacher on the podcast.

[@laurawhite7825]

Yes please!! There are so many nuanced and hilarious things that arts and electives teachers experience

[@trac6009]

I can't imagine being a teacher you should all have no college debt be the highest paid individuals in our communities and teach in up to date equipped classrooms and all the help you need ❤

[@authenticallyadhdwithcarme2203]

So many people probably rolled when you said campaign instead of champagne lmao 🤣 I don't judge, or argue online but im rolling laughing at this whole episode and im not even a 3rd in

[@TeachersOffDutyPodcast]

LOL 😂 Whoops! 🍾 😅

[@kennedytobias2745]

I'm 26 now, but my entire family still talks about how in 5th grade my teacher would assign homework for every subject monday-thursday it would take me 3+ hours every day. She would teach us for 4 hours and the other 2 hours we would grade eachothers homework from the night before. She was nice enough, but I hated her.

[@abbythornton5726]

I got invited to a student's baptism once. I didn't go. It was only a month into the school year too, so it felt like a crossing of boundaries

[@beccanauceder8764]

I used to be very careful about my relationships with parents. I have always been friendly, open and encourage communication but I always thought I’d never go out with parents (dinner, Mexican and margs), buuuuuuut……a couple years ago my “room mom” became really close with me. We seemed to just click and it was one of those instant friend things. She is also one of those “you are my friend, we are now friends and will always be friends” people- just what I needed at the time. She is now one of my best friends! She is like an Aunt to my son and I consider her children the same way. She is now family. (I also convinced her to teach middle school ELA last year 😆) I’m still very cautious about becoming friends with parents but I would never rule it out

[@7200sunshine]

My point I wanted to make was if you all were at the water park in your bathing suit or if you are shirtless, what is the difference if you put a pic on social media or if they just see you there like that? I mean, they could legit take a photo of you there and post it themselves right? And you're just living your life, like you said, not doing anything illegally but being appropriate for the environment.

[@thesims800]

YES!!! I love these 3!!! Ik I keep saying it, but just keep it with them!! There so funny’n

[@donnacarter2617]

Dang, we had homework in every subject and every grade. Were never allowed any food or drinks in the classrooms. I feel kids now are so spoiled compared what we had, and still they cry about everything.

[@theravens_keeper9146]

I have homework for pretty much every class, and we're only allowed water (which I agree with). I'm in high school, I think it's specific kids that are whiny.

As a swiftie, her calling it reading like reading a book instead of how it’s pronounced reminded me of my young swiftie years of calling it reading like reading a book for years 💀

[@brandyfairbanks8111]

When I started teaching in 2008 and I had to have the parents sign a release form just to film my lesson for my BITSA homework. And I had parents that didn’t sign it so they had to go to another classroom when I filmed the lesson because they couldn’t even have their voice on the camera so they couldn’t just sit behind the camera. And only my BITSA coach was watching with me so we could discuss what/how I did and critique the lesson. I can’t imagine the social media aspect of it all.

[@kathyotoole4608]

I was involved with NJEA as a rep and we went to a training about social media. They warned us not to post anything showing us with alcohol!

I know there is a comma there, and it was read with the comma there, but I have been chuckling for almost 5 min about friendship parties. I will forever call all get togethers at my home friendship parties. Who doesn't love a good friendship party? Answer-your child's teacher, don't invite us, boundaries, lol. Now with non-student's parents, I am now forever down for a friendship party.

I work in daycare and I don’t think we are contractually allowed even to babysit privately.

[@pmholli54]

So, if an older teacher persists in calling their former students by their first name, is that an invitation for the younger teacher to use their first name? I say younger teacher should respond in kind. That puts the ball squarely in older teacher’s court.

[@hananelmarlowe]

I'd be annoyed

[@angelmunoz3560]

Teachers, don't date your coworkers, trust me.

[@pmholli54]

Flip the question. Have you ever taught the child of a friend?

[@authenticallyadhdwithcarme2203]

😂😂😂😂😂 Bri idk why IL cities are spelled so ridiculously 🤷 but im so glad your editors knew how to say them 😅

[@hagarsherif8255]

Is it weird that as a student I actually liked homework? Like it was something to do outside of school and I would feel productive when I finished it Plus I felt like I could show off my skills while doing it. I just graduated high school so this is not long ago lol Plus it was bonding time with my mom who was busy being a mom and a teacher most of the day

I love my school, I eat snacks and i have a coffee make and mini fridge for my drinks and creamer

[@CarmynTuck]

As a student I was about to complain saying well, I can’t have food or anything, all we can have is water. And I see my teacher having coffee a sandwich or something during class it makes me so mad.like to the principals let us eat/drink stuff in separate silverware containers so we don’t leave a mess. 🙄🤨. You expect us to go about 3-4 hrs without eating a snack or drink anything. When my teachers be having anything the want

[@sherrynirvine]

Yeah but the difference is students aren’t talking constantly (or shouldn’t be). When you’re teaching you need liquid to keep your voice - professional speakers are always provided with water on the stage. And on the food front, when you have a class and then in the lunch break you’re dealing with a student issue and then you have a meeting - 100% I need food to get through the next class or I’m too hangry to have patience. Students can get food and drink in their breaks, and are more likely to spill stuff everywhere

[@mamasciog1]

I need these 3 and Tyler Jackowski together. 😅 That would be a 5 star episode 🩵

[@michellesmith9855]

Hanging out with former students' parents...yes if they are cool people. Hahah. The side hug!

[@_SistaMai_-zr2lf]

It’s hard for students at my school because I go to an all girls high school and he have a handful of male teachers and so the teachers are constantly interacting with females and sometimes it may look weird when the male teacher has to have a one on one conversation outside because they might be acting up or something, but at the end of the day, those male teachers know where their boundaries are and where not to go when having those interactions

[@SonyaBalloonMamaOliver]

It's interesting that when gender roles are reversed, no one bats an eye. I'd hate to be a male teacher in this day and age! Shout out to all the wonderful teachers.

[@adrianav2011]

Some districts and/or schools require each grade level to give HW. With specific minutes for each subject. 😢

[@gabigavin-hanner5725]

Declawing is horrible. Cats tend to bite after because they have no protection. Plus they can have a lot of arthritis, pain, issues over the years. Either they amputate the last bone of each toe or they laser or cauterize the nail beds. Walking is different after. Their weight distribution and balance are so different.

When I was in high-school the drama club had a system for tge director where if you agreed he deserved no respect and should be fired for inappropriate behavior you would call him by his first name. If you're on the fence you say his last without Mr in front of it

[@AmandaGlasscock-p3h]

I am behind on my podcast so just watched this one, but you guys definitely don’t teach in a small town! Guess what….. I see my student’s parents everywhere-and yes some are my friends because we were friends from childhood- so ummmm they already know the good, the bad, and the ugly! Get this- I also have taught my ex husband’s kid, as in his kid with his new wife. So, yes the lines in a small town definitely get blurred!!

[@noahfrost225]

Legally, unless you have both student and parents’ signed permission, in many states you can’t include students in your videos. So, it’s better you don’t- and in light of the other things you brought up, I think you’re wise not to. 19:21

[@NatalieandAry]

You know why you don’t date a students parent? Because there’s way too much weird kid stuff. Kids be just walking around half dressed or telling your business at school. Plus Whatcha gonna do if you find out your students daddy does some weird stuff then you gotta have conferences with a weird ex.

[@laurawhite7825]

What if you are friends with the parents before you became their child's teacher? I have made friends with the parents of my daughter's friends? I personally have limited some interaction during that school year and let be known before hand my structured approach to teaching in my classroom. They seem to understand.

[@BlueStarFire70]

Honest Teacher Vibes- Are you sure about that? “Finer than wine?!?!” What about Boris Kudjoe fine? Henry Simmons fine? Michael Colton fine? I think it should actually be illegal to film kids with personal cell phones. It can lead to some negative possibilities! I don’t eat in front of them… I do drink coffee and water:)

I love these podcasts but I can't get over the casual admission of declawing a pet cat. That's one of the cruelest things you can do to your cat; it is absolutely animal abuse and should be illegal for any vet to even agree to do it. To the teacher who declawed, I'm going to deeply hope you just didn't know any of this but if you care about their wellbeing at all, never declaw again. There is no good reason.

My accounts, no matter where, will allways be private, and if I was a teacher I wouldnt want my students to be on there.. private is one thing, job a totally other. End of story

[@SquidgeTastic]

[@Lisammifsud]

Does anyone know why US school students (non private) don't wear school uniforms? I can only imagine the stress every day deciding what to wear whether you are the parent or the student. Free clothes day at school was anxiety inducing enough, to deal with that every day hell no.
