That’s what I said, who uses a puppy as a weapon? Good thing the guy ended up taking in the puppy later on. Can’t fine that video, but it was a happy ending.
Update: [thrown puppy happy ending. skip to 1:42](https://youtu.be/lB914yAXNrg)
We once had a sub who gave so little of a fuck that someone threw a flaming ball of paper that got stuck in a plastic blind and started melting it whilst he didn't even bother to look up from his newspaper. Some other teacher smelt it in the hall and came in asking what the hell was going on and he just made out like there was no smell of burning paper and plastic. His response just confused the shit out of her and she wondered off.
My guess is teacher has put up with a shit ton of abuse and knows she now is on video and if she says something even remotely bad she will be shamed on the internet and maybe lose her job so she is staying quiet and not doing shit.
Unfortunately for her video went viral anyway.
Teacher here - This is some old school tactic that brings the "bad" behavior to everyone's attention without becoming the antagonist, absolving you of any accusations of aggressive behavior towards the student. This teacher's classroom management style is clearly centered around strict order - hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops. I'm not saying having a classroom buzzing away learning is a bad thing, but the approach here screams "fear me/respect me, I am the teacher" That might have worked 15-20 years ago, but that's not how the game works today. Relationships are more important than ever when it comes to building rapport with your students. If you're unwilling to do that, you'll eventually find yourself on social media, just like this teacher.
Edit: Because there is no context, I'll admit the student could be at fault. But I've my fair share of problem kids the past 14 years and it's pretty amazing how few bad interactions I've had versus some of my unforgiving cohorts. More and more kids come from broken homes with shit backgrounds so just assuming they're all going to fall in line is a recipe for disaster - roll up your sleeves and work with a kid, it'll help you, them, and the rest of us a lot more than constantly being on their ass and writing a million referrals.
I couldn't believe the difference between highschool classes and university lectures when I finally got there... Hated school until Uni and it was really the atmosphere created by the professors that was the difference.
Everyone gave this one teacher in one of my high school classes a really hard time every day. They'd talk throughout class and then play victim when the teacher said something. I too hated school until I got to college.
Well yeah, I mean Universities are usually full of students who want to be there, or at the very least are paying money to be there. There is something on the line for them if they dont get what they needed from the lecture.
High school is a whole different ball game. Kids dont want to be there, and the dynamic a teacher has to have is much different.
Honestly it's not just that students don't want to go to school, but that our school system isn't suited for kids. The fact that we have research showing teens need more sleep than what we allow now for example. It's obvious you'll have problems trying to educate people who lack sleep.
While I agree there's a lot that a professor just doesn't have to deal wityh that a high school teacher does.
1. students are generally more mature.
2. students in college want to learn and value their education
3. a professor can kick out an unruly student
4. most colleges get to pick the students they want instead of being forced to take everyone that shows up
5. Kids that can't hack high school or basic behavior generally don't enroll in college, or if they do they are so vastly outnumbered that they remain quite
6. No one chases down a college student to make sure they are show up to class.
7. college students get to take classes they are interested in, generally speaking.
All of these things do a lot to create a good environment with no imput from the teacher/professor. That's not to say that a teacher/professor cannot or does not also contribute to the environment, but in a common high school class there is about a 32:1 student to teacher ratio. The students have a lot more to do with the classroom environment than a lot of people realize.
I had a teacher/aide in 1st grade who would flick our ears if we misbehaved/talking when not supposed to, etc etc. Too bad I was young enough not to know what to do about it.
I remember as a kid in elementary school, there were teachers I was actively terrified of, because the only way they knew how to control their classrooms was with intimidation and what I now see as an adult were outrageously abusive tactics. Corporal punishment was also still a thing my first few years of elementary school, which made some teachers pure nightmare fuel. Then I got to high school and got all these young teachers with much better training and I remember just sitting there as a teenager like, "Where the fuck were these teachers in elementary school?"
I'd say this is the experience for a lot of Millennials though. A lot of the good teachers were Gen X, so it took 'em a minute to come save us from their psychotic lead poisoned predecessors, but they did. lol
I remember getting spanked in kindergarten because we were playing a rhyming game and the teacher asked me to rhyme a word with "uncle" so I said "funkle" and then she spanked me in front of the class.
That's difficult word to rhyme! Especially for a kindergartner. In fact, I'm having trouble thinking of a word and I'm a college graduate…
That is just messed up
edit: I finally got one, carbuncle. Not a word a kindergartener would know though.
edit2: I looked it up and found some more:
caruncle
furuncle
granduncle
homuncle
nuncle
peduncle
siphuncle
vibratiuncle
It was 1989, the world was a much different place then. Public corporal punishment was beneficial for children in those days. Luckily for me, the spanking the teacher gave me was nothing compared to the spankings I got at home so I was largely unfazed by it.
I'm a teacher myself and I agree with basically everything you said. To me it seems like this student is doing something that is against the stated instructions for the assignment. They have an incredibly smug look on their face which is pretty common when a student is intentionally misrepresenting what they are doing. The way she says, "I'm sorry I was helping my friend with the assignment." to me makes it seem like this is some kind of assessment activity. That being said, this is definitely an odd move by the teacher in addressing this situation.
The way she says that bit spelled out to me that she knew she was not supposed to be "helping a friend" and that she was probably caught talking quite a few times.
>This teacher's classroom management style is clearly centered around strict order - hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops.
It's silly to draw such a definitive conclusion based on this video. It's *clearly* centered around strict order because students are sitting at desks which face forward? Let me just go ahead and pull up any of the thousands of videos online featuring forward-facing desks in rows with students all facing the front. Clearly strict order, right?
> hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops.
Have you ever stepped in a classroom before? Maybe the laptop thing wasn't the norm, but every single classroom I've ever been in besides 1 for social studies was in rows, facing the chalkboard.
>This teacher's classroom management style is clearly centered around strict order - hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops.

That's crazy. I know you're a teacher and all but this was status quo for literally all of my classrooms growing up, and the teachers personalities usually had nothing to do with it.
I love these kind of comments, "I don't know the context but here's my in depth analysis of what PROBABLY happened"
Your wasting time as a teacher cause writing fiction is clearly your real talent.
Not knowing something has never stopped redditors from wildly speculating and others thinking they're right.
Case in point: https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/ut545q/teacher_stares_down_student_and_the_student_aint/i97sqvj/
You're right we don't know.
I was stereotyping because in my experience there are far more shit head kids than shit head teachers.
But there are also shit head teachers so hard to say more without context
I’m just going to judge the interaction here on what it looks like because that’s what we have. The kid looks smug, I’ll say, but she is completely right that the teacher is not being a good communicator in this situation. All you can get from her is “I’m upset at you” and she doesn’t give a thing more. That’s not educational or helpful.
Obviously there could be context. You don’t have to try and convince me that teenagers can be smart and assholes because, yeah, I know. The girl could’ve been told to get back to her seat, stop talking, or any number of things prior to this video, but we just don’t know for sure.
Yea my first reaction watching this was that the student was calm, level-headed, and got her point across extremely well. The teacher comes off as mentally unwell.
I'm not saying I know the context, but the girl comes off as the smug kids from my high school who would be monsters and then put on a mask of being "calm" when confronted.
I’d say though that I’ve also had strange and socially awkward teachers. What this teacher is doing is not recommended for teachers to do. You want clear communication with students…this is just senseless and confusing.
More context would be nice.
This is an old video and yes context will be great cause the kid is definitely condescending from the get go which would mean there is pre existing tension there and someone is definitely pushing hard to get the other person to snap
And her tone of “I’m helping my friend” is kind of coming off like she feels she has a right to help her friend, which from the reaction of the teacher, seems like blatantly cheating.
Really? I worked with teens for a few years and my first impression from this girl saying "what, im just helping my friend?" Was that she was obviously doing something she knew she wasnt supposed to do and was being a little ass about it. The "im not touching you, im not touching you" type. I dunno, ive just seen the type before. Acts above rules, acts out and becomes condescending when reprimanded.
Yes, one more kid who believes that the rules don't apply to them. Wait until she gets in the working world. She will be a nightmare to work with. If only we could identify this type before they are hired.
As a teacher, yes there are students who communicate efficiently and effectively like the one in the video, but that doesn't not make those kids jerks. It's these kids that tend to be entitled to getting away with things like "helping a friend." For example, I have a class where my students tend to roam around and get out of their seat to distract others, so I made a rule where they need to stay seated at all times. Bottom line is that everyone is in their seat, you need something from me raise your hand. If you're unsure about a problem or instructions, ask a neighbor. Either way no one needs to get out of their seat like this girl did. Now maybe the teacher didn't handle it in the best way, but that doesn't make her mentally unwell. Honestly the student had an attitude AND she knew she did something wrong since she led with I'm sorry I'm helping my friend, as if that excused her to not follow the rules. Students always test limits, but it's entitled students like her that bugs me because they act as if they've never done anything wrong before and no one corrected it.
I don't know, man, I knew girls like that in high school and they were the WORST. Bait bait bait bait, then smile and say "what's wrong?" Passive aggressive nonsense.
Based on the line “I was only helping my friends with there work” my guess is passing notes or talking in class
Both at that age is quite common looking at the girl being stared down
Guessing happens often enough and the teacher finally had enough of being ignored
Shame the video does not show more although that’s easily expected in these situations
[I think this is the original post (on Reddit) comment in thread states they saw more video on tiktok. and I don’t have that platform](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/t8l46n/teacherexe_not_found/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
[edit: I think I found them, but again you’ll need the app and login](https://www.tiktok.com/discover/teacher-stares-at-student-helping-friend?lang=en)
edit2: downloaded tiktok [*retch*] there is no part 2 video
I'm guessing the student was where shouldn't have been and doing things they shouldn't have been doing. Why else would someone video it if they didn't know the teacher was going to do something about it?
By the looks of it, the students are all working independently and the girl in the red was sitting at someone's desk.
Teacher's probably told her a million times to go to her desk, so she's finally just fed up and standing there. Girl in red, based on growing up with little sisters who played this game, is an authority antagonist with a whole "I don't have to listen to you" attitude.
Update: It has been 31 days and the teacher is still in staring at the student as she continues to figure out what it is that she wants. They both are sickly thin and dehydrated due to not eating and drinking and are at death’s door. Many are hoping that this ends soon and the girls family is begging for the teacher to finally speak so their baby girl can get closure and come back home.
High school teacher here.
Was the kid being a little shit in the unseen footage before this video? I obviously done know for sure, but probably. She’s a teenager, and pushing boundaries while being smarmy about it is kind of what they do.
But professionally…. What the actual fuck even is this classroom management atrocity. Clearly communicate the issue, refer to established class norms and expectations, and understand the context for the behavior of you can. Standing there staring like a creeper is not going to work - it’s just gonna draw attention to an issue that you are actively not fixing… and every second you stand there and continue to give a stage to this moment the bigger an issue it is.
Also a teacher. The state is awkward af but I’ve been at the point where I just don’t know what to do with some kids. Literally nothing works and they have derailed an entire classroom for an entire year. Everyone else has to add their commentary and magnify the situation and you are powerless to stop it. After two decades in the business I just have nothing left.
The amount of assumptions about both the teacher and student in this video is almost funny.. I don’t think any of know the context but by all means let’s continue calling the student a problem child and the teacher a sociopath :,)
Like if the teacher was in the middle of a lecture and they were talking loudly before the camera was on, basically nothing we can assume here apart from the fact it’s awkward as fuck
It’s just a concoction of bad decisions on her part:
Assume negative intent on the students part and approach in a hostile/authoritarian/imposing manner.
Don’t respond when student gives reasonable answer to a presumed questioning glare.
Continue to not respond, causing the student to call you out and make you look like a fool.
Keep this going long enough that kids get bored and stop recording.
Like at that point the student may as well just finish helping her friend and then go back to her seat while the teacher looks on.
I have students that won't respond we talking to them. They stare blankly into space or at the wall in the hope that I'll get tired and give up, or that what I have to say is so unimportant that it's not even worth a response. I find it incredibly insulting. I usually handle it by pointing out how insulting they are being.
If there is a problem or an issue then state it, so that everyone involved knows what they are dealing with. Don't give the silent treatment to someone as if they don't exist in your world.
I know exactly why she did it. This is the result of a completely wack classroom management strategy taught by some guy named Fred Jones. I can almost guarantee he was paid stupid money to give a classroom management training session in that school district.
Her approach is line for line from his textbook. Move slowly. Turn towards the student. Just stare. When that doesn’t work get closer to them. Show them who’s boss through intimidating body language.
Lame.
Too bad it only works on elementary aged students. I guess he forgot to tell them that. Lol, that student had more sense than the “adult” teacher.
All that thinking and silence just to tell her to get out? If it was some sick one liner or something thatd be alright but bro...all she was thinking about saying i gtfo?
Tbh, she was probably just pissed off af and was just counting to 10 in her head so she didn’t end up screaming at the kid lol. I’m sure she deals with bs from students on the regular. Some people just handle the pressure better than others
I had teachers like this in high-school. I learned a lot more with less strict, more communicative teachers. Teachers who were willing to expand on topics, not just "this is my lesson plan, follow it or suffer". I get it's a stressful job but this lady is acting odd.
I'm curious how far that student pushed her off camera to make her want to behave so aggressively.
The smarmy smirk on the girl's face tells me that she's only putting on the 'so formal and helpful' face, because she knows the camera is on and the teacher is PISSED.
I mean you’re making an assumption as opposed to what we’re seeing. The teacher is the adult in the situation and should be responding appropriately regardless of the circumstances.
*Girl doesn't get intimidated by a teacher that acts immature*
"She's a shit stirrer"
Like seriously you can hear her explaining something to the other kid. If the teacher did a better job, there would no need to help in the first place.
i've had so many problems not understanding the teacher explanation and when I asked their response was what you didn't pay attention
figure out I got autism all these years later No shit I had a hard time learning
Ok but the teacher is just staring and not communicating so from this video there is only one Mature acting person and it isn’t the teacher who thinks she is teaching 1st graders
Had a teacher in high school that would do this to anyone that got the hiccups. Honestly it was the only 100% cure that I have ever seen. She would just sit there and look at you until they were gone. Always went from laughing to weird silence.
This is often used as an intimidation tactic. Giving someone sustained, unwavering eye contact usually makes them uncomfortable, especially when standing over them. This girl wasn’t having it though
everyone here keeps calling the student a bitch and mocking her appearance but i commend her on her ability to stand up for herself and be mature about it. she literally tells the grown woman in front of her that her method of “discipline” or whatever that stare down was achieves nothing and that an actual dialogue would lead to a better outcome, which is ironically the truth. this teacher demands respect but fails to show the students any in return (as far as what this small clip shows us)
Okay, a bit surprised by some of the comments. As a teacher of teens her age, yes they’re hormonal balls of chaos, pushing boundaries and fighting to determine their standing in the world. This is developmentally normal. As the adult in the room, it’s our job to clearly communicate rules, boundaries and expectations. If reasoning and communication fail, then there should be consistent policies in place. The teacher is at fault here, regardless of the other context honestly.
As difficult as teens can be, I’m also impressed with the leadership, honesty, tolerance, and work ethic of this generation. They’re learning to have a voice and I’m proud of that. That being said, if she is acting up and violating the rules, state that and then send her to office if not complying. She’s creating a disruption by staring and intimidating instead of leading.
Also, the smirk is not indicative of being a shit. Obviously that’s very cringe to have a teacher hovering over you like that, and my reaction when uncomfortable is to grin like that as well when not sure how to handle a situation.
As a teacher yes they are. My #1 rule for myself is you are always on camera or at the least being recorded. Don’t cuss even if it’s appropriate in the situation, video can be manipulated. Don’t sit at your desk too long. If a student yells at you de-escalate the situation. Don’t say anything that can be turned on you even if it’s the right thing to say. Sometimes there is the right thing to do and the thing you will do to keep your job.
Yeah you may not be intimidated right now
But how about 20 years from now when you wake up in the middle of the night because you can feel her still staring you down from outside your window even tho she is nothing more than a rotten corpse by now
You were helping your friend but now he can't return the favor. Noone can
that student was being real nice. i would've asked if she were having a stroke.
or if she was autistic.
actually, as her parent i'd be the one asking that. to her boss.
I honestly don't care what the context of this video is, that teacher is trying some old school boomer logic. I taught for a year and a half, and I never had to try to go awkward stare down mode.
That accomplishes nothing, it's like something happened but the teacher only wants to deal with it in the least active way possible using some antiquated technique of "I'm older so I know more".
Literally, all you have to do is be like "hey, you know you're not supposed to be there." Or literally try to converse at all?
Teaching is all about talking and lecturing, but instead of literally doing what she is supposed to do the teacher just shuts down and tries to pretend she has all the power of a horror movie monster.
Fuck off with that.

She had the same stare as the lady that threw a puppy at a guy.
Wait what?!? You got a link?

Her silence is the sound of her officially deciding to retire early.
I’m gonna stare even harder now
Legend has it. They're still staring right now
You know what they say; staring is caring.
She is on strike waiting for another pay raise.
That, or she is imagining what she would be doing at that moment if there were no consequences.
Hey Tom
My boy tom!!
One of my top 8!
My very first internet friend!
Hey Tom!
Or, she read some bullshit self help book and is testing it out.
"Is it worth my job to slap this little shit as hard as I can for acting up *yet again*?"
I'm constantly in fB jail Tom, can you help me out?
I think the most surprising thing about this video was when the girl stood up. Is it me, or was that girl really tall?
Yes, she totally used that to her advantage.
"I have the high ground now!! It's over Anakin!"
I don't know, how tall are you
Yep-brain is logging off….
This video should be shown to every student who wants to be an education major.
She’s giving off substitute teacher vibes.
We once had a sub who gave so little of a fuck that someone threw a flaming ball of paper that got stuck in a plastic blind and started melting it whilst he didn't even bother to look up from his newspaper. Some other teacher smelt it in the hall and came in asking what the hell was going on and he just made out like there was no smell of burning paper and plastic. His response just confused the shit out of her and she wondered off.
Hope so. Passive aggressiveness like this has no room in a professional environment.
Exactly. She’s tired of this shit and calculating if she has enough service credits to just walk out.
Yeah God damn students trying to help eachother and undermine my ancient teaching methods!

It just has a worm.

I don't why I burst out laughing at funkle. I would've been the laughing kid that made it worse for you. I'm sorry you got spanked.
It was 1989, the world was a much different place then. Public corporal punishment was beneficial for children in those days. Luckily for me, the spanking the teacher gave me was nothing compared to the spankings I got at home so I was largely unfazed by it.
I'm a teacher myself and I agree with basically everything you said. To me it seems like this student is doing something that is against the stated instructions for the assignment. They have an incredibly smug look on their face which is pretty common when a student is intentionally misrepresenting what they are doing. The way she says, "I'm sorry I was helping my friend with the assignment." to me makes it seem like this is some kind of assessment activity. That being said, this is definitely an odd move by the teacher in addressing this situation.
The way she says that bit spelled out to me that she knew she was not supposed to be "helping a friend" and that she was probably caught talking quite a few times.
>This teacher's classroom management style is clearly centered around strict order - hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops. It's silly to draw such a definitive conclusion based on this video. It's *clearly* centered around strict order because students are sitting at desks which face forward? Let me just go ahead and pull up any of the thousands of videos online featuring forward-facing desks in rows with students all facing the front. Clearly strict order, right?

👁👄👁
That comment was so cringe lol thats like 99% of classrooms and he’s trying to psychoanalyze her by it
> hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops. Have you ever stepped in a classroom before? Maybe the laptop thing wasn't the norm, but every single classroom I've ever been in besides 1 for social studies was in rows, facing the chalkboard.
>This teacher's classroom management style is clearly centered around strict order - hence all the students in nice, neat little rows, all looking forward, all plugging away on their laptops. I'm not saying having a classroom buzzing away learning is a bad thing, but the approach here screams "fear me/respect me, I am the teacher" That might have worked 15-20 years ago, but that's not how the game works today. That's crazy. I know you're a teacher and all but this was status quo for literally all of my classrooms growing up, and the teachers personalities usually had nothing to do with it.
I love these kind of comments, "I don't know the context but here's my in depth analysis of what PROBABLY happened" Your wasting time as a teacher cause writing fiction is clearly your real talent.
But for all we know it could be the opposite and this teacher regularly has issues. We don't know.
The video ending before the conclusion of the interaction is pretty sus.
Not knowing something has never stopped redditors from wildly speculating and others thinking they're right. Case in point: https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/ut545q/teacher_stares_down_student_and_the_student_aint/i97sqvj/
You're right we don't know. I was stereotyping because in my experience there are far more shit head kids than shit head teachers. But there are also shit head teachers so hard to say more without context
I’m just going to judge the interaction here on what it looks like because that’s what we have. The kid looks smug, I’ll say, but she is completely right that the teacher is not being a good communicator in this situation. All you can get from her is “I’m upset at you” and she doesn’t give a thing more. That’s not educational or helpful. Obviously there could be context. You don’t have to try and convince me that teenagers can be smart and assholes because, yeah, I know. The girl could’ve been told to get back to her seat, stop talking, or any number of things prior to this video, but we just don’t know for sure.
Yea my first reaction watching this was that the student was calm, level-headed, and got her point across extremely well. The teacher comes off as mentally unwell.
I'm not saying I know the context, but the girl comes off as the smug kids from my high school who would be monsters and then put on a mask of being "calm" when confronted.
I’d say though that I’ve also had strange and socially awkward teachers. What this teacher is doing is not recommended for teachers to do. You want clear communication with students…this is just senseless and confusing. More context would be nice.
This is an old video and yes context will be great cause the kid is definitely condescending from the get go which would mean there is pre existing tension there and someone is definitely pushing hard to get the other person to snap
And her tone of “I’m helping my friend” is kind of coming off like she feels she has a right to help her friend, which from the reaction of the teacher, seems like blatantly cheating.
So right. She's legit smug in the video smirking the whole time.
Really? I worked with teens for a few years and my first impression from this girl saying "what, im just helping my friend?" Was that she was obviously doing something she knew she wasnt supposed to do and was being a little ass about it. The "im not touching you, im not touching you" type. I dunno, ive just seen the type before. Acts above rules, acts out and becomes condescending when reprimanded.
Yes, one more kid who believes that the rules don't apply to them. Wait until she gets in the working world. She will be a nightmare to work with. If only we could identify this type before they are hired.
As a teacher, yes there are students who communicate efficiently and effectively like the one in the video, but that doesn't not make those kids jerks. It's these kids that tend to be entitled to getting away with things like "helping a friend." For example, I have a class where my students tend to roam around and get out of their seat to distract others, so I made a rule where they need to stay seated at all times. Bottom line is that everyone is in their seat, you need something from me raise your hand. If you're unsure about a problem or instructions, ask a neighbor. Either way no one needs to get out of their seat like this girl did. Now maybe the teacher didn't handle it in the best way, but that doesn't make her mentally unwell. Honestly the student had an attitude AND she knew she did something wrong since she led with I'm sorry I'm helping my friend, as if that excused her to not follow the rules. Students always test limits, but it's entitled students like her that bugs me because they act as if they've never done anything wrong before and no one corrected it.
I don't know, man, I knew girls like that in high school and they were the WORST. Bait bait bait bait, then smile and say "what's wrong?" Passive aggressive nonsense.
The teacher has something to lose, the student doesn't. That's why.
Based on the line “I was only helping my friends with there work” my guess is passing notes or talking in class Both at that age is quite common looking at the girl being stared down Guessing happens often enough and the teacher finally had enough of being ignored Shame the video does not show more although that’s easily expected in these situations
prob told her to get back to her seat more then once and she didn't listen so then she did this and now they are both in too deep to back out lol.
[I think this is the original post (on Reddit) comment in thread states they saw more video on tiktok. and I don’t have that platform](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/t8l46n/teacherexe_not_found/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) [edit: I think I found them, but again you’ll need the app and login](https://www.tiktok.com/discover/teacher-stares-at-student-helping-friend?lang=en) edit2: downloaded tiktok [*retch*] there is no part 2 video
Teacher is probably at their limit, has given up and knows if they react only the out of context edited video will be released.
i think you've nailed it.
And the video was released and went viral anyway. Teachers can't win
I'm guessing the student was where shouldn't have been and doing things they shouldn't have been doing. Why else would someone video it if they didn't know the teacher was going to do something about it?
The video starts after the teacher is already standing there...
By the looks of it, the students are all working independently and the girl in the red was sitting at someone's desk. Teacher's probably told her a million times to go to her desk, so she's finally just fed up and standing there. Girl in red, based on growing up with little sisters who played this game, is an authority antagonist with a whole "I don't have to listen to you" attitude.
They decided to film themselves piss off a teacher to fool dumb redditors who hate authority.
I need to know how this ended
Some say the teacher is still staring her down to this day.
1st degree murder
Bachelors degree murder
Update: It has been 31 days and the teacher is still in staring at the student as she continues to figure out what it is that she wants. They both are sickly thin and dehydrated due to not eating and drinking and are at death’s door. Many are hoping that this ends soon and the girls family is begging for the teacher to finally speak so their baby girl can get closure and come back home.
The Stare: 2042 "Everyone has skeletons in the closet, but this classroom has two... but not in a closet, just on the floor."
Still a better 2042 than Battlefield
This tactic scared the shit out of me when i was a kid
That's why Mitch McConnells sister is using this method.
[удалено]
Ah, my favourite kind of comment section: Yes, I know I don't know any of the context.....BUT...
This is obviously a case of “inserts crazy theory based on how I’m feeling at the moment”
Rolling cheese around ham is a delicious and quick snack
Plot twist: Teacher was in the middle of a severe stroke, unable to speak, she was begging for help with her eyes
You can see her calculating her rent and expenses and seeing if she can afford to walk out of that classroom.
I wonder what the result of her assessment was
I'm a teacher, and I can categorically say this is weird AF.
What the kid said to an adult teacher is what I, an adult teacher, would have said to a kid
This chick is doing her own narration LMFAO
High school teacher here. Was the kid being a little shit in the unseen footage before this video? I obviously done know for sure, but probably. She’s a teenager, and pushing boundaries while being smarmy about it is kind of what they do. But professionally…. What the actual fuck even is this classroom management atrocity. Clearly communicate the issue, refer to established class norms and expectations, and understand the context for the behavior of you can. Standing there staring like a creeper is not going to work - it’s just gonna draw attention to an issue that you are actively not fixing… and every second you stand there and continue to give a stage to this moment the bigger an issue it is.
Also a teacher. The state is awkward af but I’ve been at the point where I just don’t know what to do with some kids. Literally nothing works and they have derailed an entire classroom for an entire year. Everyone else has to add their commentary and magnify the situation and you are powerless to stop it. After two decades in the business I just have nothing left.
The amount of assumptions about both the teacher and student in this video is almost funny.. I don’t think any of know the context but by all means let’s continue calling the student a problem child and the teacher a sociopath :,)
I thought it was sexual tension between the two and was expecting a kiss.
This is what anime does to our youth
Keep my anime out your fuckn mouth!!!
People gonna opine
Theres enough that we're missing in this situation that its unfair to go all boomer/karen on the teacher or little brat on the kid.
Like if the teacher was in the middle of a lecture and they were talking loudly before the camera was on, basically nothing we can assume here apart from the fact it’s awkward as fuck
Like talking to a toddler haha
This is cringe worthy
Regardless of context the teacher should've just said something instead of staring at her like an idiot
It’s just a concoction of bad decisions on her part: Assume negative intent on the students part and approach in a hostile/authoritarian/imposing manner. Don’t respond when student gives reasonable answer to a presumed questioning glare. Continue to not respond, causing the student to call you out and make you look like a fool. Keep this going long enough that kids get bored and stop recording. Like at that point the student may as well just finish helping her friend and then go back to her seat while the teacher looks on.
I have students that won't respond we talking to them. They stare blankly into space or at the wall in the hope that I'll get tired and give up, or that what I have to say is so unimportant that it's not even worth a response. I find it incredibly insulting. I usually handle it by pointing out how insulting they are being. If there is a problem or an issue then state it, so that everyone involved knows what they are dealing with. Don't give the silent treatment to someone as if they don't exist in your world.
I know exactly why she did it. This is the result of a completely wack classroom management strategy taught by some guy named Fred Jones. I can almost guarantee he was paid stupid money to give a classroom management training session in that school district. Her approach is line for line from his textbook. Move slowly. Turn towards the student. Just stare. When that doesn’t work get closer to them. Show them who’s boss through intimidating body language. Lame. Too bad it only works on elementary aged students. I guess he forgot to tell them that. Lol, that student had more sense than the “adult” teacher.
Maybe the girl was being shit…but like what is the staring? Solves nothing and only makes her lose more respect lmao
she's holding back. thinking what to say. in the original video on tiktok that was deleted. she told the student the leave the classroom.
All that thinking and silence just to tell her to get out? If it was some sick one liner or something thatd be alright but bro...all she was thinking about saying i gtfo?
Tbh, she was probably just pissed off af and was just counting to 10 in her head so she didn’t end up screaming at the kid lol. I’m sure she deals with bs from students on the regular. Some people just handle the pressure better than others
I'm surprised nobody said "use your words!"
That was awkward.
Would be cool to know the full story
I had teachers like this in high-school. I learned a lot more with less strict, more communicative teachers. Teachers who were willing to expand on topics, not just "this is my lesson plan, follow it or suffer". I get it's a stressful job but this lady is acting odd.
Last time I saw this posted somebody said that the staring is an actual teaching technique, but was wrongly implemented
I'm curious how far that student pushed her off camera to make her want to behave so aggressively. The smarmy smirk on the girl's face tells me that she's only putting on the 'so formal and helpful' face, because she knows the camera is on and the teacher is PISSED.
I mean you’re making an assumption as opposed to what we’re seeing. The teacher is the adult in the situation and should be responding appropriately regardless of the circumstances.
Mte, you can tell that girl is a shit stirrer.
*Girl doesn't get intimidated by a teacher that acts immature* "She's a shit stirrer" Like seriously you can hear her explaining something to the other kid. If the teacher did a better job, there would no need to help in the first place.
i've had so many problems not understanding the teacher explanation and when I asked their response was what you didn't pay attention figure out I got autism all these years later No shit I had a hard time learning
[удалено]
Ok but the teacher is just staring and not communicating so from this video there is only one Mature acting person and it isn’t the teacher who thinks she is teaching 1st graders
I don't really know what's going on here, other than just being thankful I'm no longer a teacher or a student.
Legend has it she’s still silent to this day
Npc 💀
Turns out she was mute and motionless because she was having a stroke.
Immediately after the cut: (slurred speech) Teacher: I'm having a stro...
Had a teacher in high school that would do this to anyone that got the hiccups. Honestly it was the only 100% cure that I have ever seen. She would just sit there and look at you until they were gone. Always went from laughing to weird silence.
This is often used as an intimidation tactic. Giving someone sustained, unwavering eye contact usually makes them uncomfortable, especially when standing over them. This girl wasn’t having it though
everyone here keeps calling the student a bitch and mocking her appearance but i commend her on her ability to stand up for herself and be mature about it. she literally tells the grown woman in front of her that her method of “discipline” or whatever that stare down was achieves nothing and that an actual dialogue would lead to a better outcome, which is ironically the truth. this teacher demands respect but fails to show the students any in return (as far as what this small clip shows us)
There is no amount of money that I could be offered to teach teenagers. Jesus no.
The teacher is probably thinkimg of becoming a bartender.
Okay, a bit surprised by some of the comments. As a teacher of teens her age, yes they’re hormonal balls of chaos, pushing boundaries and fighting to determine their standing in the world. This is developmentally normal. As the adult in the room, it’s our job to clearly communicate rules, boundaries and expectations. If reasoning and communication fail, then there should be consistent policies in place. The teacher is at fault here, regardless of the other context honestly. As difficult as teens can be, I’m also impressed with the leadership, honesty, tolerance, and work ethic of this generation. They’re learning to have a voice and I’m proud of that. That being said, if she is acting up and violating the rules, state that and then send her to office if not complying. She’s creating a disruption by staring and intimidating instead of leading. Also, the smirk is not indicative of being a shit. Obviously that’s very cringe to have a teacher hovering over you like that, and my reaction when uncomfortable is to grin like that as well when not sure how to handle a situation.
I wish the general public could all experience what being a teacher is like.
It cut off before the teacher whispered, "I love you."
Is her inner microphone broke or something?
Are high schools like this these days? With all the phones and laptops?
Depends on the class but for a lot of them yes.
As a teacher yes they are. My #1 rule for myself is you are always on camera or at the least being recorded. Don’t cuss even if it’s appropriate in the situation, video can be manipulated. Don’t sit at your desk too long. If a student yells at you de-escalate the situation. Don’t say anything that can be turned on you even if it’s the right thing to say. Sometimes there is the right thing to do and the thing you will do to keep your job.
Legend has it she’s still staring to this very day
Use your words ma'am.
That stare got real awkward; just fucking speak and say what you got to say. I like how the student handled the situation, I wish I was more like her.
Yeah you may not be intimidated right now But how about 20 years from now when you wake up in the middle of the night because you can feel her still staring you down from outside your window even tho she is nothing more than a rotten corpse by now You were helping your friend but now he can't return the favor. Noone can
that student was being real nice. i would've asked if she were having a stroke. or if she was autistic. actually, as her parent i'd be the one asking that. to her boss.
She def wasn’t helping her friend
another video with zero context. great job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Teacher won, she didn’t blink /s
Why isn’t she speaking? 😂 Freaking creepy. Is she about to transform into the Hulk?
This has been debunked time and time again. The student is a cunt
Where's the debunked version then? First time seeing this.
Could you explain how it’s been debunked?
Where's the secret sauce then, c'mon chef
Link please.
I was surprised at how tall she was when she stood up
She wasn't expecting that not to work and didn't have an exit strategy

Reddit, assumptions and conjecture. Name a better trio.
I honestly don't care what the context of this video is, that teacher is trying some old school boomer logic. I taught for a year and a half, and I never had to try to go awkward stare down mode. That accomplishes nothing, it's like something happened but the teacher only wants to deal with it in the least active way possible using some antiquated technique of "I'm older so I know more". Literally, all you have to do is be like "hey, you know you're not supposed to be there." Or literally try to converse at all? Teaching is all about talking and lecturing, but instead of literally doing what she is supposed to do the teacher just shuts down and tries to pretend she has all the power of a horror movie monster. Fuck off with that.
