Man I’m a freshman in high school and my outlook on teachers had changed. I’m doing my homework and just binge watching all of your videos. You seriously make me appreciate teachers more, and although I never behaved bad cause I was always a major goody two shoes, I never valued my teachers. Thank you for all you do!

As far as I'm concerned, the vlogs on Saturday are the ones that I look forward to every week. If you get videos up during the week, that's great. But honestly, I don't necessarily notice if you don't get one up. I would be very disappointed if the weekly vlogs were not so consistent. I get so many ideas and so much inspiration from them each week. For example, this week I was super excited about the idea of students applying for class jobs. I hate managing jobs when there has to be a separate job for every student. I love the idea and I'm going to definitely use it in my classroom this year. Thanks!

I am a senior in high school and I found your channel around the beginning of August. I think it is is a really cool idea for teachers to vlog and show their teaching styles, and how they organize and set up their classrooms. Also, I am interested in being a teacher and your videos have really helped me in the process of figuring out what I want to do in college and for a career. Even though I want to be a high school teacher I still really enjoy your videos. If they are helpful for a high school student, I am most positive they are helping actual teachers out there. Also, I know I have never been one of your students, obviously, but I honestly wish I had a teacher like you in elementary or middle school. My teachers were great, but you just seem like such a fun teacher to have!!!!

I have never commented but followed you since June. I have just begun my first year teaching in the UK secondary school after a hard training year where I was moved schools because I wasn't making the progress expected and I was miserable. Granted, I've only been there 3 days but I have lovely classes who have thanked me for their lessons, students who have called me cool and the nicest teacher and I just feel so relieved. If it wasn't for your vlogs and positivity, I probably would have backed out of going into teaching because of the training experience. So thank you Michelle, and I hope the happy time continues! X

It's definitely still challenging and exhausting and heartbreaking at times, cuz teaching is hard! But mostly, I'm happy. And I'm a much better teacher when I'm happy. 😊

I so understand what you were talking about at the end of this video! I started watching you last year because I was also teaching second (always wanted to teach second grade, too) with a really challenging group of kids. You were saying the same things I was. I was also in a new state, new school, new grade, new home....and it was my 19th year of teaching. I was miserable and considered leaving teaching. But long story short, we moved back home, I'm back at my old school (previously taught 18 years) and teaching kindergarten (previously taught 12 of those 18 years in K) and absolutely loving it! I'm working myself just like you are, but it's like starting over and I know it will get better so I'm ok with that. I've had good years and bad years. The number of good years far outweighs the bad. I think some people make the decision to leave because they've had a bad year, when if they just hang in there, they will find ways to make it better. It's been so worth it! You are right, teaching should not make you feel so defeated! I enjoy watching your vlogs! I do hope you get to that place where you don't have to work so hard! Take care of yourself!

This video made me so happy and I can totally relate to you! My first year of teaching (last year) I taught 2nd grade and I had to leave my previous school due to budget reasons so when I was looking for jobs in summer I was adamant on staying in elementary. Well out of the blue I received a call from a school that is 10 minutes away from me saying that they were interested in speaking to me about a middle school Social Studies position. At first I was hesitant because it was a completely different grade level but I liked that the school is close to me and it is to teach my favorite subject well after meeting with the principal and touring the school I decided to take the position. I am so happy I did the administration is so supportive which is a huge plus :) my colleagues are super nice and the kids respect their teachers. When you mentioned that you are actually teaching and not disciplining I was like "I feel the same way". So just know that even though you may not be dealing with the issues from your previous school that many of us still relate to you :) Have a great school year!

I don't even teach but I just love your videos, I love all the organisational things you show us and the PPT was so good! I think anyone can relate that sometimes you need to make a change because you don't feel happy where you are, it happens in any profession and I am happy your life changed for the better! I will definitely keep watching your videos! Sorry for any mistakes I might made and greetings from Germany xx

Im not a teacher, but instead a college student and I completely understand what you mean when you say you are exhausted when you wake up. Yes, I go to class, but I also have an internship and am involved in several clubs on campus, so I am trying to find a balance because by the end of the day I am so tired and can't get myself to do work.

What you said about spending more of your day teaching rather than disciplining is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in a school. You're happy to go to work every day and that is a BLESSING. Not everyone can say that. I'm really happy that you've found such a good fit. 😃 I'm a teacher in a Title I school (I've only taught in these schools for my entire teaching career to date) and it's wearing down my spirit. The behavior, the lack of consequences, the apathy, the over-sized classes, the lack of space and resources, the excessive demands...I could go on and on. I'm always incredibly stressed and it's making me hate my job. This is not what I envisioned when I decided to be a teacher and I'm heartbroken. I'm only a couple of years older than you, but I'm really becoming disillusioned with the profession. Friends are telling me to switch professions now while I'm still in my 20s and young enough to reset. But in my heart, I still like I have more to give as a teacher--if only I can find a better school environment. Great teachers deserve to be in schools where they can flourish and have the freedom to give their students their all. I really hope to follow your footsteps and be in a better place next school year.

At first when you said "I called Billy and proposed" I thought you meant you asked him to marry you and was like well that's a rather odd way to do it but ok 😂😂

Every parent should watch this video to gain a new level of appreciation for teachers. No everyone who is not a teacher should watch this video. I don't know many jobs that require a person to put in so much time outside work hours into their job. you are amazing. All teachers watching this video should know that you are amaZing.

So glad that you're so happy and 4th grade is going well for you. I also changed districts and grade levels this year. I'm now in second and I absolutely love it and everything about my new school and district. Yay for good changes! 💖

MICHELLE, sweatheart NO: I'm a student and I promise with 100% honesty out of the 11 years of going to school, I hardly had favorite teachers. If I had you as my teacher I would have said the same thing and I would still be thinking of how great a 4th grade teacher I had in 11th grade. We DO NOT say that to every teacher at all!

I know what you mean about upper graders "getting" you better. I started in fifth and was moved down to second, and I really miss feeling like I can be more of myself and be appreciated for that. The little ones just don't quite get that. My goal this year is to be more of myself with the kids and to have more fun with them than I have in past years. I'm glad the grade change is going so well for you!

I can attest to change being good for teachers sometimes. I have taken on both district, grade-level, and teacher position changes (e.g., intervention, specials), and I have gotten a very good idea of what it is that works for me and what doesn't. Congrats on making a change that has gotten you to a better place!

I have been in the same grade for many years (1st grade- 35 years) however, I find that I change things up every year to keep things fresh for me and for my students, even though they are new to me. This year I am starting Morning Meetings and Whole Brain Teaching. I love both! I learn so many new things from the really good vlogs the I watch. I love Pocketful of Primary! She inspires me to be better!
