NextImg:I’m a teacher — here’s our ‘secret code’ when we talk to parents about their child

You might want to think twice the next time you get an email from your child’s teacher.

One TikTok account under the username @bored_teachers is revealing the “secret code” that teachers use to communicate with parents about their children via email.

The account often shares funny content from different creators about what it’s like to be a teacher and some even share stories about their experiences in the classroom.

The viral video has already racked up over 67,000 views on the social media app.

“We have a code when we email parents,” the teacher in the video revealed.

She went on to explain the real meanings behind the commonly-used phrases.

“When we use phrases like, ‘Your child is very social,’ that means they won’t stop talking,” the TikToker said in the 19-second clip.

She continued, explaining that if teachers say that your child’s excitement is contagious, it means that they will “not calm down.”

To conclude, the TikTok creator divulged, “If they’re a ‘natural born leader,’ your child is super bossy.”

The Post reached out to the account for comment.

In response, some users seemed to identify with the teacher’s code.

“100% can confirm,” one viewer commented.

Another agreed, writing, “So so accurate ????????”

“‘Your son is going to make a great lawyer’ which is code for: your kid won’t stop arguing with me,” someone else joked.

However, others felt like the teacher should be more straightforward and tell parents what’s really going on.

“I take things literally,” one user typed. “I would not know this is code. just tell me like it is.”

"When we use phrases like, 'Your child is very social,' that means they won't stop talking," the TikTok creator said in the clip.

One teacher criticized, “I’m a teacher and do not use these ‘codes.’ It’s not helpful to anyone to sugar coat an issue. I stick with facts and observations. Never had a problem with a parent relationship if I am direct but in a respectful and collaborative way. ????????‍♀️”

In other TikTok teacher news, last fall, a Scottish teacher divided the internet after she showed off the outfits she wears to teach biology.

Some felt like her outfits, which consisted of short dresses with tights underneath, were “inappropriate.”

Another teacher reported on the social media platform that her Christmas present from her school this year was a COVID-19 rapid test.
