While working preschool many years ago, I had a student get stuck in the toilet. The child fell in butt first. The director, along with the mother on speaker phone, had to supervise as I stood on the seat to pull the child out. The child had a ring bruise around the back of the legs, middle of the back, and arms (elbows were also stuck in the seat with the body).
Teacher life is crazy 🤪 😜


I've worked with children for almost 45 years, so lots of stories! People keep telling me to write a book. Frontal lobe development is important!

This will be my 32nd year teaching at the elementary school. I was running late one day so I didn’t have a chance to put my make up on. A student came up to me and asked me with a very serious look ,”Mrs. Did u shave your eyebrows?” lol

Let's see, a gun, brass knuckles, a knife, on the lighter side emotional support stuffed animals of all types, a boy getting caught giving haircuts in the bathroom, a girl getting caught doing make up for others in a bathroom. As somebody else posted enough funny stories to write a book.

Throwing a rock over the fence and almost causing a major car accident by shattering the front window and swerving. HS students airdropping nudes to middle school students. A student shitting on the library table for weeks - a mystery pooper- turned out to be a girl. Parents threaten to come and beat up students. Parental fights in the courtyard after school. Huge emotional breakdowns by students. One of my students (senior while still in school) murdering a man down the street from my apartment, got caught and later I heard escaped from jail and then was caught again.

A 4th grade student telling me that she wished she had a stepdad. This student was very opinionated, outspoken, and direct. She said that every time her mom goes on a date, no one will call her back.

Another.. was receiving a very crumpled and torn homework sheet with a sticky from a parent who said, “Sorry, but the Roomba ate xxxxx’s homework.”

My role was just eliminated, and I need to replace it quickly. I have a solid lead on a new job but based on the job description I think it’s gonna be a lot less than I was making. I’ve seen people on one of the bowls mention working 2 full time jobs, like in different time zones or countries. Does anyone have any concrete advice on how to start that process? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
