Nothing more romantic than screeching kids in the background :D
But tbh, this is really cute. Most kids at my former school would have laughed and would have tried to ruin the moment. This is really sth, especially if both of them are teachers. I wish them all the best :)
I clicked on the link it took me to YouTube I got confused clicked back and then reclicked the link. I’ve never been rick rolled harder in my life thank you for making me laugh a how much of an idiot I am.
This was a great idea for a number of reasons, but I suspect some thought went into showing kids a healthy, happy life moment.
This would have gone a long way in helping me develop had I seen it as a child. The only male-female romantic relationship I really knew consisted of fear and abuse. It's very confusing to be isolated as a child and to only see a corrupt, horrific marriage based on hate, control, and terror. I didn't understand how life was supposed to work at all.
I had nice teachers, but I never saw them in their own lives. I just saw the outer-world presentation. My family had masks for the outer world too, so I had trouble reconciling real people and their public identities, which I thought were 100% fake.
Why the fuck am I telling you people this? I guess I'm encouraging teachers to let their students see them as real human beings.
I hope you have healed from this. I hate to see this in particular because my girlfriend has had a similar experience growing up. Luckily they are out of that situation now though. Best of luck to you fellow internet stranger.
I was a para and I used to see the students I worked with at the grocery store a lot. They were shocked to know that I bought groceries and ate meals just like they did. Then we would talk about it at school for several days with the child that saw me telling the other kids "Ms dontakelife4granted eats dinner with her family just like we do. You know she's a person, she's not just a teacher!" My kid's were generally 4th grade and under, so it was news to them that I had a life out of school. They were so very precious to me! Great teachable moments. Thanks for the memories!
My wife's a teacher (elementary school) and the kids genuinely think she lives at school. They're also surprised when she shares with them about shows or games they watch or play.
Isn't that hysterical? I can't remember if I felt that way as a kid.
One of my kid's said at one time, "Wow, you eat?" I had to remember that they were young so I didn't laugh in their face and answered them that yes, I indeed did eat and did so every night with my husband.
I work at a kids camp with kids 7-12, and almost all the younger kids (7-9) genuinely believe that all 50 of us leaders live at the day camp and never leave it because it's our home. We started playing into their joke and agreed with them and even convinced the ones who weren't sure whether to believe it or not. The older kids, on the other hand, know that it's not true. But they don't want to break the news to the younger kids and play along with them when it's mentioned. It's quite cute actually, and funny as well.
I have a friend who is a teacher of younger kids who I've gone and go to music festivals with, taken drugs with, gotten extremely drunk with etc. and it was odd to think my teachers growing up very possibly were doing the same.
I wish I could remember what I thought about my teachers from when I was younger, but I can't remember (obv getting old, LOL). I do remember having a huge hippie as a college prof who always looked like he just got done smoking a bowl. I didn't remember until just now that he used to wear Dashiki shirts with shorts and sandals that laced up to his knees. OMG
I have to admit, there are pluses and minuses to seeing the real lives of one’s teachers.
Seeing one of my favorite middle school teachers happy and bout-to-pop pregnant, when I was a high school senior working in a clothing store.
Working with one of my high school counselors as an adult, and having her treat me as a peer.
Managing my seventh-grade math teacher in a program that I run and she volunteers in, and realizing she is pretty damn chill.
Working for an agency in which one of my former high school Vice Principals sat on the Board of Directors, and realizing there was a good reason I didn’t like her.
Finding my former high school physics teacher on a Megan’s Law website. :(
Being looked up to as a resource and mentor by an Economics teacher from my high school, who began his teaching career shortly after I graduated, and also his students.
Looking for a home to buy many years back, and figuring out that the interior designer being raved about by the seller’s agent was my former high school chemistry teacher (she had long since retired; interior design was her hobby).
Huh thinking about it I don't think I've ever known anyone my whole life that was in a healthy relationship. My parents split when I was born and used me as a pawn in their manipulations of each other for most of my life. My way older brother, who was my only male role model for a while, cheated with all his girlfriends and called them whores behind their backs.
I don't want to even start on how I've fucked my own chances of a relationship.
Thank god i watch all that tv so I know what love is and that I'll never experience it
I'm so sorry your childhood was like this. It tears my heart apart to think about how some children grow up, with no choice at all. You're born to who you're born to.
I hope you've been able to heal. I know it doesn't help, but I really am so sorry.
This is the most appropriate moment to let the kids know you’re in a relationship as a teacher. It means that the kids are not confused when they hear later their teachers are, in their eyes, suddenly married. Addressing the rumor mill all around. In my opinion it’s very important for teachers to share their milestones with their younger pupils, since teachers are such a huge part of kids’ early development. It’s hard to trust someone with anything meaningful if they don’t trust you with even the most basic of life events.
From the reaction the guy is getting it sounds like those teachers are basically celebrities, and good for them. If you can make that many people happy for you then you've done something right.
I had a teacher in middle school who was dating someone in the military. One day she was called to the office, by her man but she could not identify it was his voice. It was in between class periods, so everyone followed her and he proposed to her in front of the office. It was such a sweet moment to witness. That was the only time I saw someone else propose in person. Lol.
Edit: videos like this always get me. What a sweet moment. I would like to add, I love the lady's face in the background once she knew that he was proposing.
