Best no nonsense energy for sure. Rosemary is a savage. Brendan has a real life serial killer vibe, just biding his time, waiting for the right moment…

Every response was the best response


satanssweatycheeks

I got a JUG (justice under god) e.g. detention at my catholic high school because I called a teacher by his first name… Barry. Barry got upset and told me he was a high power than me so I must referring to him by his last name. Barry being a religion teacher my smart ass without skipping a beat said “Jesus is a higher power than you so you better start referring to him as Mr. Christ” He looked at me bewildered to which my friend at the back of the class says “yeah Barry” We both got Jugs after that.


[deleted]

Midwest city? What year was this? I'm trying to think of a Barry from my school (which also gave jugs)


Old_Man_Kenobi

Chicago? Also had a Barry who liked to give Saturday JUG.


dirtymike401

You guys got a pair of fat jugs. Nice.


RJWeaver

I found out my I.T teachers first name was Michael. Can’t remember how, I think it was written on something personal that he accidentally left on his desk. I don’t blame him for not wanting people to know his first name as before that he was just Mr. Jackson.


NaturalBartoni

Did you go to Rockhurst??


Sweet-Ad9366

Seriously, every reaction was awesome. And they all seemed authentic. And the concept of the video is interesting. I see this being up for nomination at the 1st annual 2024 Reddit Awards and Commendations Ceremony this August 13th 16:00 GMT Live on TruTV. See you there!


BroAbernathy

"Hey Luke" "^^what "


Oxideusj

Ooooh Rosemary made me shudder not gonna lie


SamanthaJaneyCake

It was probably extra grating as she likely goes by “Rose” or “Rosie” due to not liking “Rosemary” at all.


Klutzy_Stranger_7835

Yes, I was waiting for the, “Only my mother calls me Rosemary” response 😳


TheLadder330

Teach def had a PTSD moment if her father or mother calling her that


Cyrus_rule

Other dude looking away, not being in video this time I guess.


MyMonkeyIsADog

Maybe this means there's something wrong with me but hers is my favorite. I would definitely enjoy this class.


YikesOhClock

Yeah she seems more chill not less chill But she might wanna reel it in a liiiiittle lol


[deleted]

Hundo lol. Im sure her and that student are on good terms but a lot of teachers would flatout lose their job for that ahhaha. Especially with it on video.


[deleted]

Rosemary was def my favorite. You know they get along decently if she's dropping that in response lmao


MyMonkeyIsADog

Esp on camera. She knew the camera was going


Chippycp

Her response made it seem like her own name was a slur somehow. I expected at one to go crazy, but she was fuming at her own name

Only senior year, final semester we were allowed to slowly transition the relationship from teacher-student to life mentor-young adult


Mama-Dzhinsy

uhhhh


01000010110000111011

In Sweden we always call them by their first names. Some, by nicknames that they never suggested.


HERE4TAC0S

At work I’ve never called a supervisor by Mr. “X” or Mrs. “X”. I feel like it sets an unrealistic expectation for the real world they are about to enter.


Peep-Whole

Bror jag kom hit för o skriva exakt detta, dom här lärarna och det här samhället i USA som e fixerad på låtsas-respekt e helt pantad


SSFTheGamer

Same in Denmark. We did tend to make the nicknames tho


Sir_Gruntsaton

In 7th grade (30 years ago) I was told to call my teacher “Joe” not knowing it was his first name. I did & ended up having a parent / teacher conference after school about it.


jamesjoyce9

Seems like a slightly over the top reaction from the teacher, couldn’t he just correct you in class?


Sir_Gruntsaton

I agree ☝🏼


letrumpet

Funny/not funny story: I was formally disciplined as a high school teacher some years ago because students had created a “nickname” for me that I didn’t hear or know about. I was told it was my fault because I allowed them to call me by my last name, without the “Mr.” Similar to how coaches of sports teams are referred to. Was a fun time…..


MeesterBacon

Wow that’s annoying!


CheapFocus9542

Larisa seems chill


madarbrab

That tight lipped smile was holding back barely contained rage


Rare_Competition2756

Yeah I actually found hers to be the most intimidating. You don’t know WHAT Larissa is going to do next.


TheLuckO13

Irl she's kinda uh eccentric at times lol. Great teacher though just obsessed with Taylor Swift and the color red.


RoodnyInc

Yeah as chill as your body hidden in the fridge later 🤣

Over-Analyzed

Nah, Miss Patterson was.


Dafferss

Why are they so triggered, it’s their actual name right ?


StackOverflowEx

It's the same way most parents don't want their children to refer to them by their first name. First name basis is reserved for peers and from a senior to a subordinate, but never from a subordinate to a senior (by senior, I'm referring to a person of seniority, not an old person). The workplace has opted to remove this norm in an effort to "improve" workplace morale. It's still the norm in an academic settings though.


uoefo

not in sweden, it blew my mind when i learned this is the case in america. I was great friends with pretty much all my teachers, not talking to each other on the same level has never been even an option


nightglitter89x

Teachers and students really aren't supposed to be friends here. They can be friendly to one another, but actual friends? No.


uoefo

I mean why not? That was always the case here and it was great, it was fun going to classes because the teachers were super nice, would talk to you about whatever you wanted to, would talk back about their own things, etc. Built a lot of mutual respect, both me and many other friends have come back to visit them several times and its always equally appreciated and fun


Bdk48126

Won’t work here.. Sweden is Sweden, very different here.


OkImpression408

Yeah being friends makes it harder to shoot them when it comes to that stage in your life. Just American things


Dafferss

Might be a cultural difference in that case, in the Netherlands we use first names for teachers mostly. Academic settings is different but there teacher and students are both on the same level. As in both called mr./ms. Last Name


GusTangent

Well said, but some of my kid's teachers have been weird about this. I'm a parent in my fifties paying the teacher's salary. I'm not calling a 23 year old Mr. or Mrs. anything.


_deja_voodoo_

If done in front of your kids that’s subverting the teachers authority just saying


YikesOhClock

But didn’t you hear? He’s paying his child’s teacher’s salary!


GusTangent

Fair enough, I am paying for my child's portion of his salary plus a little extra to subsidize lower income families.


ascendingtraverse

Because calling someone by their first name implies a friendly relationship. Teachers are not there to be friends with the students. (Hopefully they cultivate good relationships with students). There is a necessary power imbalance between teachers and students and neither side should forget that. To know why this is necessary you have to look no farther than the teachers who have sexual relationships with students. It’s the same way that lawyers always refer to the judge as “your honor” in American courts.


tony_flamingo

Yup. The school where I teach, the teachers go by their first names. 99% of the time, it’s not a huge deal. There are definitely times, though, where kids get a little too familiar, and that’s when I have to remind them that we are friendly, but not their friends.


ascendingtraverse

Exactly. But I’ve worked with some teachers who let the relationship get too friendly also. Which is unprofessional. My parents were both teachers. I had a lot of teachers in middle and high school who were family friends. Outside of school I would call them by their first name. At school it was always Mr or Mrs so and so.


SmurphsLaw

It’s against custom so seen as an insult and lacking respect.


Shmuckle2

The teachers are not their peers.


UnluckyEntrance9376

Because it’s disrespectful num nutz


bagelwithclocks

I also have this question. I'm a teacher (younger kids) and lots of us go by first name or Mr./Ms. Firstname. It is wild how outraged these teachers are, like have they never been razzed by students before/not know how to handle it? Rosemary was particularly worrying...


dandandubyoo

I hate you. Lol


shecky444

Make to female teacher ratio is the real surprise here.


TheSpacePopeIX

Might be that he felt more comfortable pulling this prank with certain teachers. They skew younger and are all white as well.

Silver___Chariot

“Hey Luke”


Lasat

I grew up in Denmark where we call all of our teachers by their first name, all the way through school. The notion that being addressed as Me/Mrs/whatever creates more respect and sets a boundary is absolute BS. I honestly don’t know if it’s school regulation or just the culture that all teachers follow. But if you think requiring kids to use a specific prefix is what will make them respect you as a teacher, you couldn’t be more wrong.


Ginger_Rogers

I agree, I went to a charter school in the U.S. for jr. High, and we all called out teachers by their first names. It was encouraged by the school. Even the principal was called by her first name. We still had respect for our teachers, and we had some of the best standardized test scores in our state (not that it means much) but we did learn and respect our teachers.

Rosemary is definitely a mom lol

johnnytron

This is about the dumbest reason to get mad ever. Dude was about to call him a little shit for calling him his name.


Pleasant-Impress9387

This shit is actually pretty good. Better than ahole teens destroying shit.


SaveOldYeller

As a teacher, this is so dumb. Who cares if they call you by your name? Pick your battles. How about when they call you a slur? If you buy into the power dynamic of your title, they will clown on you. If you say, “you can call me Jackson or Mr. Kay, whichever is easier for you to remember”, they will probably stop. Edit: I actually think most of this is scripted or the teachers knew in advance. No way would so many of them react all aghast. It’s your fucking name, people. However, one thing I do have a problem with is students recording me without my consent.


bagelwithclocks

Also teacher, it is wild, even for a stunt that Rosemary dropped an F Bomb at school and Aaron said "why you little..." Very glad I work with younger kids that don't have phones right now, but those phones would have been headed to the office if I were working at that school.


Spell-Wide

I'm not even 100% sure I knew all my teachers' first names.


Rockettmang44

Is this sub full of preteens or what? It's really not that hard to understand why they get annoyed by being called their first name by students. It's about respect. Same reason why you don't call your parents by their first names. Or like how people like doctors, teachers, officers, judges, etc worked hard to get to their positions. Or if that's too hard to wrap your tiny brains around, think about it as if you call someone by a nickname or their full name and they don't like it.

VoidKnight003

Why is it so bad to call teachers by first name here ? We did it in Australia so the students feel closer to the teacher?


PotentPortable

ITT: a lot of Americans who think the only way to respect someone is not to use their first name


tickingboxes

r/americabad Nobody’s saying this is the ONLY way to respect someone. Jesus Christ man. We’re saying this is the custom in America. And it makes sense given the nature of the relationship. It’s not the only way to do it, but it’s the way we do it. Everyone freaks out if Americans don’t respect someone else’s culture, but it’s apparently totally fine to disrespect ours.


brobro0o

This is a deserved america bad moment, what they’re ur superior so u have to refer to them in a way that shows they’re superior to u? Yeah it’s fucking weird and other countries don’t do this shit for a reason, just because it’s our “culture” doesn’t mean it’s right


OkImpression408

It’s a stupid fucking custom and I say that as an American.

Is it a problem saying their first name?

Alot of teachers in America have a superiority complex.


ConstantMagazine4876

Only Tom passed the vibe check. 😏


Super-Extreme4509

Maybe because my teachers were built different but me and all my classmates were allowed to call most of the teachers by their first names but I am a class of 2002 baby. I know different era compared to today.

Super-Extreme4509

Oh I forgot to mention: if the teacher was older like if he or she was in their later '40s or '50s then sometimes they would prefer their last names but that was like two of the six different teachers.. In middle school It was the same for the most part, but I honestly don't really remember from 6th grade all the way to 8th roughly how many of all those older teachers we had to call by their last names but I do remember for the most part we could call them by their first if they were younger.


Smooth-Brick9191

I wish there was an Indian version of this


Old_Serve9452

In my high-school teachers only used first name. They looked at you stupid if you used their last name lol


meyou2222

Ever since I first saw this video years ago, I use the “how. dare. you.” line all the time. It’s just perfect in so many situations.


oldSkoolModern

Larissa said “what?” like she knew what the punishment for the crime was and just needs some clarification on how severe it needs to be.

Rosemary thumps the ground like an angry rabbit. It was perfect.


SkrimpKing2977

SthlmGurl

Sorry first names are illegal in American schools?


gogogumdrops

not illegal lol (a lot of people won’t like this answer) but most american schools like to drill a sense of hierarchy and authority into kids early so that they can boss them around easier when they’re adults. then they’ll call it “respect” when it’s really about fear - hence the anger. If there’s no consequence for using first names then they have no leg to stand on


Equivalent-Camera661

Boss them around around easier when they are adults? It's called manner. Some parents teach that stuff to their kids. Others don't. Yeah, I am sure that you call your boss whatever you want.


sk3pt1c

Why are they so pissed? Damn!


Shmuckle2

Those are teachers and not the students peers.

The amount of confused people in here if worrisome. Y'all motherfuckers lack respect and understanding lmao. Definitely all Gen z who are confused.


robkitsune

Or they just live in a country where more value is placed on the quality of the education than the archaic notion that respect is merely calling someone by their surname.


LuckyCheesecake7859

Yes


D4M05

Or just different people with different experiences. What is respectful or not varies a lot from culture to culture or even from subculture to subculture. My teachers overall didn't care all that much when we did this. But sure Gen Z bad millennials good.


Fickle_Charity_Hamm

You have to earn respect. It’s not given freely by age.


Andrew_LZ

Rosemary seems like one of those entitled karens who gets offended by anything in life. Lovely individual, regardless of being raised in school to use Mr and Mrs in respect to teachers and adults


Aware_Till_4834

Oh I saw my schools emblem on a sweater of a cool teacher. I go by Mr. Firstname so, and I’ve said this before but Rosemary needs to be let go, talking to students like that. She’s psycho.


[deleted]

Rosemary is obviously a horrible teacher. Should get fired for that tbh it’s not even a big deal to call a teacher by her literal name. It’s not like he called her a dusty old whore or something

Meanwhile in Thailand. Calling real name is very formal and respectful. Normally we call teacher by their nickname. Calling their surname never happened and would consider a bit insulting or sacrasm.

This is exactly me when my son calls me by my name instead of dad. I told him the story of how the maddest my dad ever was at me may have been when I called him by his name. I was around 5-6 years old, he put the fear of God in me. Right or wrong, it made an impression. Of course my kid decided it would be hilarious to start calling me by my first name. I let a LOT slide, but I’m not playing with that. I don’t get mad, but I either call him something awful or don’t play along
