What about the teacher who buys all the pretty supplies because it’s her one and only coping mechanism because she knows what’s about to happen to her life? Asking for a friend.

It’s September and yes, I made sure I had my wife’s favorite chocolate was in the house. She tore in to the bag at the end of the first day. I plan on restocking this weekend because she’s been mumbling something about PPTs. I think I’ll stick with accounting.

My supply list was a new Keurig, a huge stockpile of k-cups, 3 boxes of instant oatmeal, granola bars, a case of gingerale & a big bottle of Advil

Love it! I do only buy the Pilot G2 pens! I put colorful tape around them to prove they were mine because they seemed to grow legs. Couldn't have the adult beverage at school, but there was ALWAYS chocolate somewhere in my classroom. I've recently retired (30 years). I must be crazy because I miss it so much!

I’ve got that exact bag of Dove chocolates in my drawer at school. 😂👍🏻

Meanwhile, other professionals don’t have to purchase their own work supplies.

I bought that big-ass planner because hope springs eternal! But most likely it'll be empty after mid-October. Writing things in the planner and on Google Classroom is just double the work.

Spot on. I *finally* acknowledged the futility of my expanding folder and retired it this year. I literally bought a neoprene cover for my notebook, and dove chocolate is stashed in my desk.

Me, a pre-service teacher who has those EXACT Expo markers...along with chocolate-scented sloth stickers, dog stickers and emoji stickers and animal-shaped stress balls for my SENIOR classes: 👁👄👁

The traumatized teacher... oh the things that traumatize us! 😅

Another thing to add: secret bottle of Tylenol. I keep one on me at all times, just in case.

That last one reminds me of the student' mom who gave me a FIFTH OF TEQUILA as an end of year gift. Dang, that woman was right on target! I had to hide it quick though, and sneak it out of the building.

Pilot G2 gel pens all day baby! Except I grade in green lol

The Experienced Teacher makes notes on the school supply list: "Please, please, PLEASE only buy Fiskars scissors. And do NOT go to the dollar store to buy crayons! Oh, please!"

Dark chocolate for sure!!!

This channel’s great. I’m not at all afraid to become a teacher, no sir.

But you can never go wrong with Crayola. :)

I have bought all of those things at one time or another !! So true…. :-)

Pilot G2 red ink pens are tight. I used these from day 1.

Omg the planner… I start the year off great then by January it is blank LOL

Each July I was Target's favorite customer for their back-to-school sale as I bought Crayola markers (broad and fine tip), colored pencils, and crayons, Dry Erase markers, rulers, Ticonderoga Dixon #2 pencils, Pink Pearl erasers, scissors - small and large, blunt and pointed, Elmer's Glue Sticks in bulk (40+ each of everything) as well as electric pencil sharpeners as I taught elem. art - sometimes up to four different schools every week - for years. Some schools - no budget, others - $100 for the year (650+ kids per school). One clerk as he looked down the checkout and my haul, asked "Are you a teacher?" "No, I just really like Crayola products."

A few years ago, I got one of those expandable folders to put papers in to grade when I got home … yup, so, I think I used it 2 or 3 times total … and I think that’s rounding up how many times I used it. What she explained in the video about it is very, very true! 😆

Wine and chocolates 🤣🤣 Yep

THEY MAKE NEON WHITEBOARD MARKERS?!?!? Off to Amazon, thanks Bored Teachers!

Pilot G2 gel pens...you found me.out!!

Former teacher…..that bottle of wine is not nearly big enough!

Experienced Plan B teacher, here. But dangit, I want some Cat Mermaid with Frappuccinos folders.

At some point, I have been all of them! And I have all the supplies to prove it except for the glue sticks because ya know

I had to stop the video at the individual pencil sharpeners because that was SO ME!! I actually did this one year. Another year I got all mechanical pencils. And no the kids didn’t interrupt my lesson to ask if they could sharpen their pencil, they would just get up and do it in the middle of my lesson. And it’s an electric pencil sharpener! And they would just stand there and grind away the pencil in the middle of my lesson! And as soon as one finished another would do the same thing till I yanked the damn cord out of the socket! Yeah, no I’m not triggered at all. 😱😱

Why must you come for me so? 🤣

You missed my sharpie collection. Ultra fine tips and those fat chisel tips for quick calligraphy labels. Silver and other metallics for labeling dark things. SHARPIES AND CRAYOLA CRAYONS😅

Can’t argue with any of this. And I have bought most of those supplies … 💕

Very on point! Especially the "prepared teacher"! 😂😁😄

Pilot FriXion erasable pens are the best. I make so many mistakes grading, it’s a life saver!

Great video! Hilarious 🤣

Thank you teachers 🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate you all. However you prepare 🙌

One English teacher I had depended on one brand of pens to grade papers.

I've purchased tropical color dry erase markers and packs of assorted color permanent marking pens. I've also purchased scented markers and stamp markers. I'm an infant/toddler teacher.😉

LOL, I bought a planner, and 3 days into the school year I already know it's going to be used for anything but planning. Who has time????

So funny but accurate!! Love this!!

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much for sharing these! I am a combination some of these types of teachers.

I'm not a teacher, but Pilot G2 pens are my favourite pens EVER. Also I like that you can buy refills so less waste!

Lol this was so funny!

I love this... so true.

The sad thing is that this is so true. Load up on bath products for the stress.

Nailed it

Who else is a kid and is learning about your teacher.

A fun video and very accurate! Lol!

I’m not a teacher, but this made me laugh! Thank you!

Yeah I’m not buying the bulk packs of glue sticks because I’m naive lol - I’m buying them because I know they will get lost and dried out by the pound, and so I will neeeeeeeeed more of them. 😆

Great video!

Pilot G2 red pens rock! 😂

I buy the colorful G2 pens and Expo markers lol But I also got that chocolate I still sometimes hold hopes that I'll get grading done at home... The dream goes my toddler goes to bed early and I magically am not the most exhausted person so I have time and energy to grade before I need to have grades done... It's a nice dream

Dove chocolate and cheapo wine? Uh-huh.

Blessings to all!

So funny!

What about the teacher who buys ALL of those? lol ....

Inaccurate. The fun teacher gets scented markers, not neon markers.

I felt so called out when she did the Type B teacher 😂😂

Why do I have that same planner and it is still sitting in my car completely empty

Ok but I love that mercat folder!

I get a rainbow pack of gel pens

Yep... we know....

Difference between a loyal and seasoned teacher is what? lol

Haha. I picked up the wine.

I'm the pencil sharpener teacher. My student's new better than to interrupt my lessons by sharpening pencils. I had a set time during the day for that..😆😆😜

So, the Prepared Teacher was ready for...............just Day One?! 🤔 Those of us who taught in the same four classroom building used to meet after school, sometimes daily, for de-stressing & chocolate - which as we know is one & the same! 🍫 Hang in there!

Totally love your videos,. My wife is in administration in government and its like your channeling her stationary thoughts. So watching this video my reactions were fuck me this content is spot on. I used to use a heap of paper and stationary as a systems admin carried a one inch thick bunch of notes to meeting. Then one day I thought this is stupid so I scanned everythibg to my paperless Office.

I use the Pilot G2 in purple!

I am slowly buying exercise books for my preparations. I still need to buy a gazillion of pens so I can give it to students because they can't write with pencils (as they Always say 😅)

I made the mistake and got the small size of paperclips 😐

Why does everything have the target logo on it

I bought the tiny sharpeners on week 2 this year bc in one week (1 week!) my students broke my electric sharpener. Not buying another one for them to break so manual it is. #traumatized.

lol

WRONG! I buy the Jumbo pack of glue sticks BECAUSE I know they aren't coming back to me. I've actually had kids try to return them & just told them to keep them...because they're going to ask again the next time we glue something - and I can't be bothered to keep track of who used which one PLUS their germy hands. Nope. No thank you...On top of which, I hate the liquid glue, so this lets me control the gluing a little more (the donated supplies always have liquid glue).

First comment. Cannot wait to watch!

When I was a grade school janitor, I gave students one opportunity to keep pencil shavings out of their desks. After that, I confiscated their pencil sharpener. Shavings in the desk inevitably end up on the floor….l

Did anyone notice that the chocolate was open?

You should pout in the "successful teacher" The one who knows not to spend a penny of their own cash on the classroom.

I HATE pencil shavings. Why do students miss the trash ever so slightly or embed them by their chair to “hide” the evidence? Sharpeners are forever band. 😆

🍷🍷🍷🍷😛

Are we just going to ignore the fact how fucked up it is that a teacher has to buy any of this stuff with their own money. If I was a teacher than maybe a pen, a binder, some paper (for me)... That’s it. I am not spending a red cent on supplies. I mean part of the reason teachers have to buy their own shit is that admins know they will. Stop doing so and just maybe shit might get better...

spread the word about god

please look into the camera

No. You CANNOT grade with a red utensil. At least in my career…. It’s a no go. Borderline hatred.
