My mother left teaching and joined the Army. She legit preferred the prospect of getting shot at to teaching. And there was a time she loved teaching. I don't know what happened.

I have taught 33 years. This is SO accurate! One moment summer stretches out before you, pure and untouched. The next you are going back and reminding yourself that you always get it done.

Yup, I’d always get it done! … because I would spend 3-5 unpaid days in my classroom to get it that way to avoid the stress of inservice where we couldn’t work in our classrooms very much during school hours! 32 times! 😂

I just graduated and now I’m a freshly minted 9th grade biology teacher. School started for us on Aug 3rd. Everyday after school is like prepping for mid-terms and every night I wake up panicking about not having any lesson plans prepared for the next day. I see zero weekends or evenings in sight for the next 280 days….

“It’s going to be fine. I always get it done”. I’ve spent the past 7 years in school saying this. Now I’m finally a teacher and I’m still panicking and saying this. 100 students, 5 classes + advisory (no, college doesn’t teach us about “advisory”), no lesson plans prepared, and no supplies. 3 new software programs to learn, added, dropped, moved students, weird A, B, and virtual day schedules. Oh, and would I like to co-advise for Eco Club this year (whatever that is). Don’t forget to help the freshmen students begin their high school portfolios (what is this “portfolio”?). Also, must collect and record data (during class) on your IEP and 504 students… while you’re teaching. You don’t have them all memorized yet? It’s just my first year, no worries, it’ll be fine I always get it done.

College doesn’t prepare people for the reality of teaching. If they did no one will go into the field. It is nothing like what people think it is and other than interning there’s really no way to prepare for the reality.
That was 100% accurate. Glad I'm not the only one that goes through those stages EVERY summer lol

My first 5 years teaching I got my student roster 1/2 way through day 1, and it was wrong. It also didn't include how they get home. Plus, my principal didn't let us do specials the first week and she wanted us all in the cafeteria during lunch the first week. So how was I supposed to figure out how 23 kindergarten kids go home when noone tells me, I don't have time to go look, and I'm not supposed to call parents with students in the room?!?

I feel the same stages every weekend. :)
This video is a total exaggeration! No one, and I mean no one comes home from their first back to school 8 hr day and makes it all the way to the couch! I’m lucky if I make it to my car! 🤣😂🤣 The nightmares are real, and that’s the scariest part! 😱

Fie on professional development!
Only a true elementary teacher would appreciate this. The only stage you left out was the “Freebie” stage where you go to the school two weeks earlier than required to start you bulletin boards and furniture moving for no salary - you’re giving the county a “freebie” just like they know you will. This way, they can schedule a bunch of inservices and meetings during pre-planning week except from 11:00 - 12:30 when you can have lunch and that “work in classrooms” time!🤪🙄
Me: Should I be a cat sitter instead? Maybe start writing books, have a garage sale every Saturday.....ect
The accuracy is insane! Those nightmares are real! Except no seating charts to panic over because they add at least 10 more students to my class the DAY school starts. Joy!

How universal! I'm from the Caribbean and the stages are real.
YES! Teachers are just like students during the summer. My mom is currently a spanish teacher, and she just loves the aspect of having a two month break, and despises back to school commercials.
I work in early childhood education where we work year round. But when we have spring break and Christmas break I feel so free and it goes so fast. I love, love this video!
I've posted on this video numerous times already about being a nurse before I started teaching, and on the nursing side of things, I feel the "I always get it done" part on a visceral level. Making sure all my patients got their meds/treatment on time, completing all of my notes when I had time (which usually meant at the end of the day) so I can give an accurate report to the night nurse after I leave my shift. And then, finally when I'm showered and in bed, keeping myself up half the night worrying that I forgot to chart the last time my patient received their insulin dosage and that I gave them the right amount...
Imagine knowing ahead of time what classroom you’re going to be assigned to! What a concept!
I start school in 6 days. I haven’t gotten supplies or anything yet.
I'm definitely stage 5 I'm starting to stress. By next week for PD (Professional Development) I'll most likely be stage 6 : Panic. I don't like having to put all that stuff back on the walls!! Bulletin boards!!! Nooooo!!!! I want to be back at stage 1 or 2!!😭😭😭😭
Currently in stage 4. And I love the "j" seating chart! Hahahaha!
Oh poor you! ❤️❤️ You’ve got back to school brain mixed with baby brain and I-don’t-want-to-leave-baby brain! What an adorable sweetheart… going back this year is The Hardest. Thinking of you. ❤️❤️

I just got two added to my roaster today. I was laughing how many desks I had in my room and how it wasn't really needed but now, yeah, I am probably going to need them all.
I used to live in Virginia and school didn’t get out until mid June. Literally three weeks later, the day after 4th of July, the back to school signs are out in the stores.
Bless all teachers! Bless those who live with teachers, after surviving 36 years of “oh no school starts next week! Yes I am so behind! Please help me get my room together!” If she ever were to retire, not sure I can stand 12 months of “honey do list”. On day perhaps or Some day I hope to have her all to my self.
I had to do seating charts every Monday for groups of kids, aged 7-12, taking a week long art class. Some came all day, some only mornings, others from lunch til closing. Some wanted to sit together, others wanted solitude. Class size could be from 15-45. There were A LOT of factors. I did this every summer, for 40 years. I got very efficient at seating charts. Dare I say, I could have medaled in the Seating Olympics. Tho there was struggle...
I wish I could zone out. I stay on Teacher Standard Time all year long. Your baby and dog are adorable. They look like excellent reasons to be tired.
If I had not known I was watching someone else experience these changes, I'd have thought I was looking at MYSELF on the KZread screen! Bravo, my teaching sister! Hang in there!!

Actually there is also teaching summer school; as well as trainings and seminars during the summer because nothing ever stays the same, the teaching profession and curriculum is always being "improved".

Dude, I would go into my classroom a month before the teachers' first day back and get EVERYTHING done in around a week. On the teacher work day, I'd go in and help my friend set up her room. And make my students' name tags. Yeah, I was the annoying college student who turned in all her term papers a week before they were due. LOL.
