A new student two days before school starts? I'd call that "advanced notice!"

[NoliMeTangere]

As an experienced teacher who took the alternative path and has seen too many rookies freak out: take EVERYTHING you learned in undergrad except content and throw it out the window. This is the ultimate learn-as-you-go job.

Retired teacher here. It took many years before I was no longer feeling that stress about school starting and making sure lesson plans were ready.

I love those teachers that are just waiting for retirement. My german teacher in like grade 9 came into the classroom with one black pen, one red pen in his shirt pocket, borrowed a textbook from a student and went into the lesson 🤣🤣

Experienced teacher here and everything about this video is so accurate. 😂😂😂😂

This reminds me of my friend's first year teaching high school chemistry! I think she spent half her summer coming up with the lesson plans for the entire year. She stopped having a social life for most of the school year because she was marking or refining lesson plans, designing everything from scratch, prepping worksheets, lab experiments, classroom models and decorations, etc. It was nuts. She burnt out so hard. Then she learned to reclaim her weekends and got shortcut tips from more experienced teachers and was much healthier for it! :)

New teachers - take a deep breath. Experienced teachers - rock on. All teachers - Thank You!!!

So true! I acted like a new teacher for 8 years, then I said, “Nope!”

[heatherspencer]

First year teacher here. From now on I’m going to the beach.

[christylane]

Y’all never disappoint. It’s like you’ve done this before or something.

[kimberdancer]

Yep!!! You realize that boundaries are necessary in this career!

[Qutypie]

I love all the 'new' teachers!💕 May God bless all of you. The teaching career is NOT an easy one.

I am a 2nd year teacher and I am definitely like the “new” teacher but I am transitioning to the experienced really fast. FYI I still panic when I get a new student because I LABELED EVERYTHING!!! 🤣

[munimathbypeterfelton]

During my first year of teaching, I was like a first-year teacher. During my second year of teaching, I was like an experienced teacher lol. You learn fast on the job!

The two days before school started vignette actually broke my heart. She acted so devastated that I really felt badly for her. They should start giving out YouTube awards and I would definitely recommend her. 👏🏻👏🏻

My biggest piece of advice for new teachers is: there is ALWAYS something you could be doing. Doing it all won't mean you are caught up with everything, it'll just mean you have given up more of YOUR own time. Just don't do it. Once you've done it for one Saturday, then one entire weekend, then one week of holiday, you'll feel better.

New teacher here my line is definitely "whatever you need I'll do it or I'm in " so sad 🤣😂

[jackiej]

I’m a first year teacher and I felt this in my soul 😂

[ijshapiro]

retired after 30 years in NYC...professional development hahahahahaha

[rosesmith]

This reminds me of my profession. Brand new nurse vs. Been here too long nurse 🤣.
New: oh my, you cut yourself! Let me clean that up so it doesn't get infected.
Been There: here's a bandaid. Don't get blood on the carpet.
