"People have thrown dirt on my name, others have given flowers. But it's all a garden to me." When Bryce said "that's one of the hardest lines" he's ever heard I felt that 😭

“You don’t get to choose when people acknowledge you” is something I needed to hear when I saw this episode. It hit me a lot harder than I thought it would 😭😂

me toooo, the only thing we can do is give ourselves the acknowledgment first and foremost, forget the rest. yeah validation from others can be nice but it shouldn’t be the end all be all

@@barbiedoll44 that’s the cheat code right there. I was needing validation instead of trusting the shit that put me in this position. When you are comfortable in yourself and the work you do, the response whether good or bad just doesn’t hold the same weight

And that line applies to your relationship as well, not just your work.

as an educator myself, Gregory's speech had me tearing up for sure. what I think is so special about this show is that while it's a very funny comedy, it's able to balance that with real and heartfelt moments that will have you tearing up for real. ♥

brice’s reaction to barb’s words of wisdom is literally me😭🦋 9:24

It’s crazy how the parent with bitch on her chest was more polite than the parent here.

I teared up at Jeanine getting dragged like it was me 😂

This episode made me tear up several times. I agree that the speeches from Barb, Melissa, and Gregory were so good. Really hated to see Janine getting lashed out by that parent. She’s a wonderful teacher who cares a lot and she didn’t deserve to be treated like that. She just shouldn’t have waited this long to talk to the parent, but I guess that was a rookie mistake. Side note: 6:35 “I want to go to Bone Town, bro. It sounds delicious.” Taken out of context, that line is wild. 🤣

12:36 Gregory is having flashbacks of his r@cist teacher on "Everybody Hates Chris" , that woman was wild omg 😂

RIP, Tina Turner, 1939-2023.

The "will they, won't they?" comment from Ashley made me bust out laughing! And then Melissa and Ava doing their impressions of Janine and Gregory sent me over the edge 🤣 Great ep.

“This black man” 😂 between this lady and his teacher in “everyone hates Criss”.. he can’t escape them

The pearls of wisdom given from the older teachers to the younger was so well done and the speech was heartfelt. Of course the jokes all killed and the 4th wall breaks, comic gold !😂 Thanks again for reacting to this show

The comedienne who played the mother did such a good job that she was getting real life messages from people telling her off.

Man I feel for Janine. I get the parent is frustrated but there is only so many things an educator can do. Those classroom disruptions, yelling out and throwing things will start to add. The bigger he gets the worse it can probably get. Honestly Janine eventually did go to the last resort which was call the parents once his classroom behaviors became too much. And yes it is hard to control a child within a school building no matter what age the child is. Especially a student that at the end of the day is going to decide to do what they want to do at school no matter what anyone says to them. Its a team effort and educators cant do everything.

Back where I'm from, they say "Home travels abroad." So, behavioral things start at home and reflect a student's home life. I work as a teacher now, teaching kids, and some parents really think that it's the teacher's job to raise the kids. I teach in Japan, and so many kids have no basic manners, and they're often not taught to the point where some adults over here have some really gross habits like you wouldn't believe. But the parents have unrealistic expectations regardless. That mom seems to have anger issues, and she taught her son to be impatient and angry when things aren't the way they want them.

When I tell ya'll, I wanted to fight DeShawn's mom for making my girl cry. I loved how Barbara jumped up when she saw something was wrong with her.

So many places are like this. They don’t care about diversity,equity,and inclusion but do shit like this to look diverse and inclusive. I love seeing the seasoned teachers to the new teachers

Nah cause we rlly need to get Janine’s get-back with that one parent 😭

FR! I need Janine to get her lick back cause lord that mom HELLA pissed me off🤦🏻‍♀️

There's so many amazing moments and lines in this episode. Barbara's garden line (and the whole conversation), Melissa's speech about recognition, and of course Gregory's there at the end 😭. That one gets me every time (though they all do), glad to see I'm not alone in that!

I think Tyler James Williams is a very handsome guy but that picture they used of him was heinous🤣

What’s upsetting is that there are a lot of trash parents like her. They expect teachers to be their kids teachers AND nannies but don’t want teachers to put their kids in their place. They don’t want teachers to raise their voice or anything. They blame teachers for everything bad their kid is doing. Parents don’t want to parent anymore.

For real. And no wonder that kid been acting up, it's probably acceptable behaviour seen straight from mom. I do not envy the western teachers of today, cause back when I was growing up teachers traded out leniency for authoritativeness *real* quick. And most parents *encouraged* that where I live. Telling your teacher to "shut up" would be met with the exact same response as telling your mom to "shut up". If the kid's parents were any good, the kid would know better than to make that grave mistake. Don't matter if they feared a sore behind or feared losing their nintendo for a year. They feared consequences. At least the great teachers knew how to turn a kid around. Hate that Janine had to listen to that garbage cause if it were my non-teaching ass I'd have gone straight to accusing that woman of being the basic shitty inattentive "working" parent who should've swallowed instead of birthing. I got livid.

i love when Bryce gets emotional.....i think i have a crush on Bryce guys help😭🤭

The mom was out-of-line and rude for sure. I remember reading a compilation list of the worst things teachers heard from parents and, sadly, this scene didn't even cover the utter vitriol that real-life teachers experience. Parents can be awful.

The performative wokeness in this episode sent me

lmaooo when they kept specifying the race

so many great and wise lines in this episode, i love barbara & melissa

You guys should consider reacting to Cruel Summer, in my opinion the most underrated teen thriller atm. The second season comes out next week but I’m surprised barely anyone has reacted to it despite its popularity and critical success.

Ava and Melisa are so funny at the end imitating Janine and Gregory.

Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Zuff! 🏫 #ReelTime #ClaireScanlon #AbbottElementary

I know teachers deal with horrible parents, and I don't think I could handle that. That kid could have been suspended, but instead Janine spoke with the parent to figure out a solution to his acting out. Some parents just want a babysitter, and don't appreciate when a teacher is offering help beyond that.

Wholesome watch guysss

you guys always catch the message within the storytelling that's why I'm here!

😂 the reaction to it’s all a garden….

Zuff is so funny i love all his facial expressions 😂😭

Some great lines in this ep

This was my least fav episode cuz of tht dm ignorant ahh thing called a mother n I wanted to see her get owned somehow at the end but was highly disappointed still a fantastic episode tho. 🙌🏾💕
