A teacher posted a TikTok telling her followers about a strange exchange she had with a student’s parent about some birthday invitations.
TikTok user @ktlarson27 posted a video claiming that the mother of one of her students wanted her to do almost all the work on her child’s birthday invitation, including writing and filling.
She explained that parents asked her for a class list so she could invite all the kids to the party, and she actually sent the invitations to the school so OP could hand them out. Teachers were also invited. So far, so good. Very dignified. Very attentive.
However, things quickly took a turn when she realized the invitation had been brought to the classroom. Even so, the OP agreed to shove them into every kid’s mailbox at school.
“I’m going to tuck the invitations and envelopes in, tuck them in because they’re not stuffed in, and put them in the mailbox,” she said.
Then she opened the invitation and discovered that no one else had written it but hers.
“I opened them. Only the first invitation was unwritten, and the rest were unwritten. The parent sent me a message during the day, and I thought it was for me… because I was invited. No, I All invitations should be written,” she explained.
“‘No,’ I answered. I couldn’t write all those invitations, so I sent them home with the class list. No, that’s not what I can do. Goodbye…”
What on earth are parents thinking? This is completely inconsistent with any of the responsibilities of a teacher.
Several TikTok users expressed their opinions on her strange experience.
“I thought at the time ‘the envelope was not stuffed properly’, what on earth made parents think this was okay?” one user asked.
Another joked, “Plot twist – you’re hosting the party too 😆 that’s why you were invited.”
“In fact, parents think teachers have time to process and prepare party invitations. Ma’am, we don’t have time to use the bathroom!” said another.
Another teacher wrote: “This happens all the time on Valentine’s Day. They just send a box of sealed Valentine’s Day cards and expect teachers to write names on them and put them in envelopes.
Attention all parents: the teacher is neither your personal assistant nor your administrator!
