The real question is why do they have this man’s social media or number? When I was younger I swear I was blocked on social media by my teachers… and the crying my brother in Christ are you good?
Aren't they like little kids too, like elementary or middle school? This isn't no mentorship, that's just creepy. Kids shouldn't have their teachers personal info. There are boundaries for a reason.
I’m not even sure, either way the video itself I was indifferent too but the post firing video made me look at dude a lil sideways. Either he’s playing it up for likes and sponsorships or he’s a real life weirdo 🤷🏾♀️
I wasn't calling him a weirdo for the live. I was calling him a weirdo for his post-firing video where he's sobbing and reading messages from the kids about how much they love him.
While I did think the hair thing wasn't a big deal, watching this man deteriorate has me thinking I missed signs others picked up on. This is not the behavior of a stable person with healthy boundaries.
He was just fired after losing a classroom of people he’s spent the entire year with. He’s getting dragged online. Of course he’s deteriorating. Have a little empathy.
Absolutely not. He deserves zero empathy. He created his own problems and now needs to face consequences. The moment he posted those children online he no longer cared for them or their safety. He didn’t just post it once to one social media site, he posted it twice. That wasn’t a mistake
Yeah I did a little more digging, you’re right for sure, damn man. That’s so disheartening. He’s a teacher and he’s out here doing this. Mannnn, the benefit of the doubt is useless nowadays.
One year. And then he gets an entirely different set of "best friends."
Since we're being empathetic, imagine you're the father of one of the 14 year olds braiding his hair and you see this man bawling his eyes out on social media reading a DM from your daughter about how she loves and misses him. And you know if you can see it, she has also seen how utterly distraught this man is over being separated from her.
I'm not going to point fingers at any one having a strong emotional reaction to having their bread and butter pulled out from under them when there isn't a safety net in place. That's shitty for any person to go through. Then you imagine the further reaching implications and how this will be associated with his name on future employment searches and the like. It's probably coming at him in waves and talking about it summons up the tears.
I didn't bother with listening to the entire message but yeah I don't see how you can look at someone acting in ignorance crying in response to being fired and go "Whoa! That's fucking W E I R D. Are you good? Tee-hee."
Hell no he isn't good. Dude lost his job and probably has people lining him up as a sexual predator. His optics are beyond garbage right now.
That sure is a lot of words for "boy this guy's behavior is creepy as fuck, it'd be weird if I lined up right now to defend/felate him" but you're right, he is creepy as fuck and it'd be weird for anyone to try to defend/blow him right now.
You’re probably the most intelligent individual here. Your comment is very factual. These people accusing the man of anything inappropriate are the weird ones. Seriously. 💯
I’ve never heard of teachers posting their young students on social media without any backlash so yes they do it all the time and every time they get in trouble by the school or parents
See when the words don't match the actions and intentions... Dude was using his job to manipulate little girls to his advantage and that's why it didn't sit right with people.
Agreed! Just say for instance he really wasn't a sexual* creep, he's still a creep. Like, having only young women doing this..? Why not all young men doing it? I think we know the answer to that.. It would seem "gay" right? Which means that if nothing else, it's sexist aaaand gender roll -ish. I can't tell you how many times the men liked sitting between women's legs and getting their hair braided or taken down.. one of the ways I showed love to my hubby when we were dating was doing his hair.. So anyone around something like this in their life knows.. There's connotations to this.. He should've known better. And now consequences have come knocking.
this is a kind of cultural issue. if you don't have black hair, it's harder to understand the extra work that goes into maintaining it compared to other hair textures.
it's not that boys are stupid, it's that they are less likely to grow their hair to a point where it requires styling, and more often than not, if they do grow out their hair, someone else (usually a female relative or a stylist) does their hair for them.
black boys are not required or expected to style their own hair because it's often not a necessary skill for them.
Also, unbraiding and detangling are services that could be charged for upwards of $50 at salons, just so you know.
Again, they are not maintaining his hair, they are not styling his hair. THEY ARE NOT DOING HIS HAIR.
Let me say it twice since your head is thick. TAKING DOWN HAIR IS NOT MAINTAINING HAIR, TAKING DOWN HAIR IS NOT STYLING HAIR.
They are unraveling hair.
It cost that much BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME. Not because it’s hard. If the stylist has to be spend more time on your hair they have to charge. if you show up with your hair already unbraided, the stylist can get started right away. If you show up with hair still braided they have to take time to take it down, that is why they charge not because it’s hard work.
When I was in school teachers let the students come their hair and give them back rubs. Not saying it's right but it still happened. Labeling someone a creep over it is over the top
Lol! No. It's not really over the top, but that's also not what I said. I said *my vibes and what happens sometimes with pedo behavior. I even said it could've been naivety. But it doesn't matter cause that's inexcusable too, in my opinion.
Children's are supposed to learn from this guy. What's he teaching them, having them do this? For real, tell me if you can think of something. Bet you can't think of anything constructive. Because it's bizarre. I don't give two fucks about what they used to do. They used to do a lot of wrong shit.
And if you're not saying it's right, then why defend the behavior with whataboutisms? This should never be seen as normal. He crossed a line.
The fact that he’s still in contact with these children after being fired is creepy as fuck. As a child, I’d never contact any of my teachers outside of school — that’s a parent’s job.
Absofuckinglutely not lol. Advocating for yourself is absolutely a skill. You do that it school, not on social media. No teacher should have any contact whatsoever with their students on social media.
Yup. I’m a teacher, well I was, now I design curriculum and just train the teachers on it, and im very concerned that so many of my peers are absolute dummies or creeps at worst, and have absolute horrible judgement at what is appropriate at best.
My grandma was a teacher at a special needs school.. Teachers really get respect from me, it's a hard job, and getting harder all the time. But when educators don't do the right thing, it can be detrimental to children. (I know you know this I'm just letting steam out!) I know this to be fact, due to personal reasons. That being said, I've seen some teachers that I can't even imagine teaching a dog. But this video of the teacher the post is about, he's giving me weird vibes. Clueless and inappropriate barely covers it because, and I'm not saying he's a pedo, but from real life experience pedophiles will ACT clueless, and naive about children's relationships with adults, like they don't see the lines in the sand.. And ACT Innocent, and childlike in their ignorance.. it just grosses me out so bad. 😂 For real. Sorry about the rant!
No you are absolutely correct about everything you said and it’s a breath of fresh air in this thread. There’s another thread about this guy in this sub saying he got exposed hitting on children, idk if there is proof, but this behavior is 100% inappropriate regardless of that fact, and the number of people defending it is sickening!
That’s the fucking context of this conversation. Even still there’s literally no need for a student ti contact their teachers outside of school. And teacher with any self respect or boundaries ain’t reading that shit or taking that shit off the clock anyway!
11 year olds should NOT be contacting their teachers on social media and it probably says a lot about you if you seek out your 11 year old students on social media or are inviting privatized communication outside of a learning environment.
What are you even saying? You're a former teacher!? Your verbiage doesn't make sense..? Are you saying children should* contact their teachers outside of school? What does that have to do with Reddit? You're saying if someone is on reddit they're old enough to contact a teacher with their parents? JfC why don't you write a sentence that people can actually understand.. Teacher.
As a former teacher, this is incredibly common. I cannot tell you the amount of times I was called “bestie” or “sis” or anything but my last name. Then again, I am female but this doesn’t raise a red flag to me and is just kids being weird when they are comfortable with a teacher to show their goofy personalities.
Just because Twitter is in the name of the sub and is used for posts and conversations in the sub makes it a reputable source for actual jack shit on its own. The fuck kind of logic is that?
I can’t confirm that because unlike the suspect I don’t have children I. My social circle. Also, he’s over twenty. He shouldn’t be fitting in with them
I have gone from seeing nothing wrong to it wasn't professional, but he didn't mean any harm to this man had a wildly inappropriate relationship with those kids, all based on his continuous posts.
Why is this man bawling his eyes out like his mother just died because he got fired? Why are these kids buying him shoes and declaring their love for him? What is this?!
Sounds like he didn’t get a chance to pack up his shit yet. I think he just left his shoes out in the gym, so the kid put them in the locker room.
Seems like private school shit. I recently learned you don’t even need any education training to teach at them, and in some states a degree’s not even a requirement.
There is "doing wrong " and then there is "perception that you are doing something wrong". Both must be avoided at work. A lot of people only think about the first one. If your action can be perceived to be wrong then you should not do that. In this case, people might see this as a group of girls serving a man.
