When teachers are teaching unethical things, you have to call them out. Telling a child that certain people are allowed to cross their boundaries is malpractice and conditions them to believe their needs do not matter as much as others’ needs do. The teacher in this next story told their 10-year-old male student that girls …

‘SHE IS NON-VERBAL, WHY ARE YOU LYING’: Daycare teacher audio records her 3-year-old student speaking to prove she’s not non-verbal, gets berated by the girl’s mom and aunt
So many parents don’t want their kids to grow up. They want them to stay in the easy baby stages of life so they don’t have to do the work of taking care of a more autonomous person. I’m not even talking about going from being a kid to a teenager. A lot of growth …

Daycare teacher refuses to feed 2-year-old applesauce because it’s ‘too messy,’ doesn’t tell mom until she confronts them about it: ‘A part of me understands. Another part of me feels like this is kind of lazy?’
Little kids are the messiest monsters that ever lived, and there’s nothing you or I can do to stop that. I do not expect a two or three-year-old to be able to fully cut their chicken parmesan and eat it without transferring at least 40% of the bird onto their shirt, and neither should you! …

‘My kid is 3.5 and we aren’t potty training’: Daycare teachers discuss why parents are proud of not teaching their kids developmentally appropriate lessons
Parents need to teach their young kids so many things every day. Babies come into this world knowing literally nothing, and once they’re toddlers who can talk, they will ask you a million questions a day that even you, a grown-up, don’t know the answers to. It can get overwhelming to teach the big things …

Mom demands daycare teacher holds her 13-month-old during naptime every day, balks when teacher says that’s not possible: ‘This was the 7th place she toured and that no daycare around here can provide adequate care for her son’
When you enroll your children in daycare, there are certain expectations you ought to have. While you can choose a center that has small classroom sizes if you can afford/find it, your child isn’t going to get the one-on-one attention that they would get with a babysitter or nanny. Daycares also must adhere to specific …

Foolish teacher accuses her coworker of stealing books from his classroom library because he’s reading them during his lunch break: ‘You shouldn’t have to be told that stealing is wrong’
Although it’s obvious we are constantly surrounded by stupidity, harshly judging someone else’s intelligence can feel mean or unnecessary. I think MENSA and IQ test-obsessed people are extremely weird and need to stop hanging onto the glory of getting a 1580 on their SATs. Being unjudgemental is all well and good until you have to …

25 Teacher Memes For Exhausted Educators Counting Down Until Spring Break
There’s something so wrong about how the spring semester is structured for nearly all K-12 schools. In college, the fall and spring semesters are the exact same length: 4 months. In K-12, the second semester is so much longer that by the last 4 weeks, everyone in the school is going nuts. After Thanksgiving break, …

1st year teacher yells at substitute teacher for using the teacher’s lounge, claims that substitute teachers aren’t staff and don’t count: ‘I didn’t know what else to do, so I just walked away and went straight to the principals office’
If you don’t think teachers get enough respect, you’d be shocked to hear the kind of treatment that substitute teachers get. I remember all of the memorable substitute teachers from my school days, most of them because of how badly the students would treat them. We had a sub in 5th and 6th grade named …

3rd grader cries after his teacher gifts him a new pencil case and pencils, says he doesn’t know how to be grateful for it: ‘It’s just that I already have pencils. Is this your whole gift?’
There’s a lot of theatrics involved when receiving a gift. Most of us are genuinely incredibly grateful when somebody thinks highly enough of us to get us a present, but our reactions can get over the top. I’ve been drilled from day 1 of being alive that no matter how you feel about a gift, …

16-year-old gives candy to the 3 students who were listening to her in-class presentation, gets harassed for candy by the kids who were on their phones the whole time: ‘The teacher told us we could give out candy’
There’s something so uniquely humiliating about giving a class presentation in high school. If you’re underprepared, you look like an idiot and get a lousy grade. If you’re overprepared, you seem like a high-strung overachiever. You have to strike this perfect balance of being both knowledgeable and unattached to the material, which is incredibly difficult …
