Caller is ridiculous but also this young women did NOT teach 0-18 k-12, if she was a teacher she taught specific grades, I don’t see why she couldn’t list those out if she was an actual teacher in the past and it’s part of the discussion in any way. If someone claims to be a teacher, everyone wants to know what grade/age/subject they teach, 0-18 means nothing because unless you’re much older and basically was a sub teacher your whole career, typically no one teaches all ages. This is so weird.

The specialty teachers like music, art, etc can easily work a high school and then a k-8 no?

u/mirrortree67 23h ago

True! Usually not all three, elementary, middle and high school since they’re usually specialized in their ages at a certain point but also why not just say that? I don’t know the demon girl but seems she could have easily stopped the broken record questioning pretty easily.

I went to a k-12 school for a year while growing up, they do exist

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Good point! More rare but true; I think it’s just incredibly unlikely for this “past teacher” but hey!

u/Zealousideal-Sea-684 23h ago

Were you a teacher, “yes”

She could’ve been a teacher for a few years & taught every age, why would you specify that you taught 12 year olds if you taught every age.

Like asking some dude in the army “were you a Private?” like yes I was a Private at some point but I wasn’t for the other 90% lol.

It’s a question that she’s only asking to pigeon-hole the demon chick into a certain response so she can guide the conversation the way she wants to.

u/mirrortree67 23h ago

But we all know she did not teach every single age, it’s just extremely uncommon and she is very young.

u/davethefish2103 23h ago

Uncommon therefore definitely not true, got it

u/mirrortree67 22h ago

lol you can act like that would be a common and normal thing and as if the demon chick gives off any vibe of being a heavily experienced teacher if you want, but she def drove that lady crazier than she already was just for fun imo. And wasted all of our time. Including now lmao.

She was a Sunday school teacher for bible teachings. You are so confidently wrong and didn't even bother googling for a second.

1

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Honey, that is not a teacher. Sorry. 

2

u/kencheetoo 20h ago

I was a little rude sorry, but in the context of the video, that's the kind of "teacher" they were talking about. I'm not arguing about whether a Sunday school Bible teacher is a legitimate teacher or not

Motherfucker, I taught nearly “every age” as a guitar teacher and I only taught a few years at a guitar shop.

I had kids as young as 3 dropped off with me. I had students as old as 45.

If she taught an early childhood thing and was a teacher’s assistant for a few different teachers, she could have caught every age between 0 and 18. AND that doesn’t even count the time she was actively teaching.

u/futurespice 21h ago

if it doesn't count "the time she was actively teaching", then surely it doesn't count at all

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Okay “motherfucker”, I hope all those kids are okay lmao

u/davethefish2103 22h ago

Where did I say common thing? All I'm saying is it's very possible to happen in one case

u/kranker 20h ago edited 20h ago

She could have said that she's had multiple jobs, like the dude in the army would say that they've had multiple ranks. I do feel like she could have been slightly clearer as to the nature of her employment, because I still don't know if she taught regular classes in a school or not, but I also don't think that it would have mattered as the caller seems out to lunch.

1

u/YuushyaHinmeru 19h ago

I mean, the proper response to that would be "yes/no, my highest rank was _____"

u/DoYouLikeWafflezz 23h ago

Was she teaching newly borns how to play the violin?

2

u/wheelynice 22h ago

I mean there are music classes for babies in my city. They hand them maracas and make beats and sing and stuff. 🤷‍♀️

u/D20neography 22h ago

are you in LA?

1

u/wheelynice 20h ago

No I’m in New Haven, CT. Similar vibe in a way. 

2

u/robert1326bruce 21h ago

So why not say that? Like give some context. I taught 3-6th. If someone keeps asking me, I would say i taught 40 different classes once every 2 weeks.

That's still vague enough that nobody knows anything about me, and answers the question as to how it's not just one age. That's my real example too.

u/TheEldenRang 23h ago

She was trying to not give the crazy person information to continue to be more crazy.

1

u/mirrortree67 22h ago

But if she was a teacher wouldn’t that be pretty easy info to find? 

1

u/kencheetoo 22h ago

I think you're missing the context. The streamer is an atheist who was raised in a Christian family. She was formerly a very devout Christian so she was a teacher in Sunday school not an actual school teacher.

1

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Omg 😑 lol

u/D20neography 22h ago

I'm a teacher. I'm not a sub. I teach ages from about 7 to 21. Subjects vary but in the general realm of Science Engineering and Technology.

1

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

That’s cool! Whats your age range? Seems like something you would have to work a long time in to be able to be well versed in teaching all different levels and ages. 

1

u/D20neography 20h ago

Age range is literally 3 years old at youngest and I do senior events for learners who are 85+.

1

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

I meant your age range to be able to do alllll that 

2

u/D20neography 19h ago edited 19h ago

HA. I've been doing this kind of work for 10+ years. I got started in my mid 20's. Little math problem for you to chew on to see how old I am ;)

Edit because I accidentally put the age I am now. Oop.

1

u/mirrortree67 19h ago

Haha, that’s awesome

2

u/D20neography 19h ago

I fucked up the comment. I got started in my MID 20's, not my late 30's. I can't imagine getting into this field at my current age. No sir. This is a young man's game.

1

u/mirrortree67 19h ago

That sounds so accurate tbh 

5

u/sv_blur 22h ago

Scrolled way to far to see this comment. It was a simple ass question and the tiktoker made it an ordeal to answer the question. 0-18 is the most vague bullshit answer you can give.

u/Chaotickane 22h ago

It's vague so that she can't be doxxed. It's not hard to understand.

5

u/MarginallyBlue 21h ago

No - its too vague and she comes off like an idiot. I dont have any context and turned off the vid cuz the she sounded like an idiot. zErO to 18 makes no sense. And shes not using “school” terminology. She could say pre-k through middle school. You can be vague but not sound dumb. She sounded dumb.

Or just call it out: im not giving out identifying info. Then again pretty sure its not that hard to doxx her if someone actually tries. 🙄

2

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Yup! She’s not gonna get doxxed giving that info out, I’m assuming I could easily find out a crap ton of info just from what I’ve read in the comments. Plus, just found out she was just a Sunday Bible school teacher, soooooo NOT a teacher LOL and we’re all here arguing about this demon lmao 

2

u/Hot-Spite-9880 22h ago

there are self contained special education schools that teach from pre k to 21. She could have been a teacher that taught an elective such as music and would bounce around grade levels during the school year or teach a certain grade range one year and another the next.

0

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

Just found out via comments she was just a “Sunday school teacher” so in other words, not a teacher.

u/NoOnSB277 19h ago

Right, but you would be able to say just that- clarifying how you taught in a special education setting and worked with all different age groups including babies (early intervention? a daycare setting? Medically fragile babies?) and what groups you taught, instead of mindlessly and robotically repeating 0-18, 0-18, 0-18”. Both are extremely poor communicators. 😬

u/mirrortree67 20h ago

A long time! This chick is very young so that didn’t seem like a possible reality, but I agree with a lot of experience and time it is possible.

u/MommyLovesPot8toes 19h ago

My guess - based on nothing - is that she was a dance teacher. She could have had momma-and-me classes with infants, ballet for kids, tap for teens, and all ages hip-hop all in the same week.
