It's that time again, and teachers are happy to relinquish their duties as daytime caregivers to the parents. 

We've heard a lot about inspired teachers who thoroughly immerse themselves in their roles and push the learning boundaries in their lessons. Now, we see a teacher known for never shying away from sharing his feelings. This time, he shared some humour with parents on TikTok

Riaan Durand shared a funny video on TikTok addressing parents. He was happy to throw it back in the faces of parents who believe their kids are angels. 

He told those parents he contacted during the school year that it was time for them to experience what he had been trying to discuss with them throughout the year. 

We are still determining whether he is 100% serious or not, but we have noticed his humour in other videos. His direct approach speaks true in some ways because some parents out there refuse to believe that their kids can do anything wrong. 

Check out some of the comments from the post:

  • "Dear teachers, thank you for being patient with our kids. It's time for you to go and relax and enjoy your holidays."
  • "Let me pack her bag NOW so she can go to Granny's house!!"
  • "They finished 2kg of Peanut butter in 2 weeks. Come take them, please."
  • "As a teacher, I approve of this message. Remember how frustrated every parent was with their kid during the COVID lockdown? Man, those were the good 'ol days."
  • "Sir, as the parents' association, we are sorry and are willing to pay for your overtime. Please take my 2 boys off your list. Yoooh, it's going to be a long one."
