She didn’t even have a whole honeymoon. She only took one extra day off! PTO can be such a contentious issue in already contentious workplaces. If your company is functioning well, an employee should be able to take off any days of the year they please with the paid time off they’ve earned. If they’ve …

18-year-old daycare worker forbids 7-year-old from using her colleague’s hand sanitizer, despite her colleague offering the hand sanitizer to her: ‘She needs to learn that she can’t always get what she wants.’
She was trying to be kind to a child, and this is how her coworker treats her? One of the biggest lessons you learn as a child is that you don’t always get what you want. That is, if you have parents and adults in your life who don’t give in to every demand that …

School teacher tells 10-year-old male student girls are allowed to be physically confrontational with male classmates, student’s parent steps in: ‘My son feels like the school is telling him he matters less’
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 …
