Why are you doing whole-class punishment when only a subset misbehaves? What does that teach the girls in the class about who matters and who doesn't?

NP, but sounds effective to me. The kids that are talking out of turn to make stupid jokes about this are doing it to amuse their classmates. If the class is no longer amused by this behavior bc they now get recess deducted (or whatever it is), the kids doing it will be more likely to stop and feel peer pressure to not act out

I remember “milk, milk, lemonade”, “spell I cup” and other worse, inappropriate humor starting in early ES, a lot of which I did not understand. Thankful my parents did not make me feel like they were going to punish me for it if I mentioned it at home, rather discussed and set boundaries.

Well now I’m curious what milk,milk, lemonade and spell I cup are

Spell out "I cup."

ICUP.

I see you pee.

Height of elementary school humor.

That’s like nothing at all compared to this skibidee toilet trend. Like comparing kittens to T Rex.

Isn’t it just some turd-looking head that pops out of the toilet and sings stupid song? It’s dumb, but it’s benign. It’s not like it is porn

Right? I don’t understand these over the top reactions. Wait til their kids discover 80085 on the calculator…

Dude, it’s not a punishment. It’s not taking away anyone’s regular recess. They are EARNING the EXTRA recess for the class by refraining from skibidi toileting. They still get their normal 30 minutes every day.

It’s actually a whole class reward. I don’t do whole class punishments. There’s an important distinction in the way I’ve structured it.

When I don’t need the reward, I fade it out. Not my first rodeo.

This teacher sucks either way. Liking something the teacher doesn’t like isn’t misbehavior in the first place. She sounds unhinged.

I suspect this is my child's male teacher who punishes the entire class for things the boys do. It's extremely unfair.

Honestly this isn’t a situation where anyone needs punishment. Can you imagine getting a phone call from your kid’s teacher saying “your kid said skibidi toilet in class today”?

It’s just an annoying behavior that needs handling in class, and that’s what the extra recess thing does. Now the kids have mostly knocked it off and everybody is getting sone extra recess. Win win.

My kids don't watch YouTube except when required at school. We don't block it, we just never started watching it, and they haven't ever expressed interest. I really think half the problem with people whose kids are addicted to screens is that you STARTED it with those stupid toddler YouTube videos, unboxing crap, etc. We ever did that and can tell the difference between kids like ours and yours.

The YouTube channel where Skibidi Toilet originates is called “Da Fu* Boom”. Tells you all you need to know.

I teach MS and it’s been scribbled Al over classroom furniture. Boys that say this phrase do it all day long like a bad tic and there are many other boys that can’t be redirected after they hear someone else say it. And I agree with PP that said it was alpha males. Def the young Brett Kavanaugh types that say it the most.

We can tell the differences between our kids and yours, too. Yours are the insufferable little know-it-alls that we all fear are going to end up without any friends, just like their mom.

Lol, that poster is nuts. Kind of reminds me of a mom I met who said she only let her kids watch old Mr. Rogers and old, old Sesame street episodes instead of Daniel Tiger and newer Sesame street episodes. The snobbery around toddler screen time is hilarious.

No not benign. Would you call clockwork orange “benign” since it’s just a milk bar?
