Do you prohibit your kids from watching skibidi toilet?

[Anonymous]

Yes.

My elementary aged kids are watching very little screens. Like an hour a week max and sometimes none at all. So, I don't know what that is, but they're not watching it. They are usually playing spelling games or watching DWTS or SYTYCD.

Yes. Of course. But even then my early elementary kid is singing the song since overhearing other kids singing it but I asked and didn’t seem to know about the video. Phew.

Seeings kids singing this song concerns me, and questions me why some parents don’t take good care of their own kids and instead just let them use technology to rot their brains into crisps.

I just asked my 13 yo because I had no idea what this was. He says "it's the most brain rot thing ever. Kids my age say it ironically but the 10 year olds are actually watching it."

It's a guys head in a toilet singing skibity toilet over and over again and it's several seasons. Eventually the toilet guy fights the viewer by blowing stuff up? Or something like that.

I teach 5th grade. Lord save me from random mentions of skibidi toilet all day long. All the boys burst into laughter, even though I’m several of them don’t actually know what it is. I have resorted to putting tally marks on the board on Monday for 15 minutes of extra recess and erasing one every time skibidi toilet gets mentioned. Last week they actually kept most of their 15 minutes, which means I kept more of my sanity and instructional time. Progress!

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?

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

My kid (10) says this phrase sometimes and I had no idea until this thread what it was. And then I googled. WTH?

NP but I’m team teacher here. Life means knowing when it’s appropriate to talk about certain things and when it’s not. Keep 5th grade skibidi-free!

I know someone who teaches at the 4th grade level in elementary school and the numerous times any elementary kid in their school literally mentions that toilet thing won't ever get out of my head. It's like an early-age addiction for gen Alpha'ers.

I have never heard whatever this is until I Googled it, and my eyes are absolutley dried from what I just looked at and watched for 10 seconds, is this what kids are growing up with today?

NP. You sound unhinged. The students are distracting the entire class from learning by mentioning this $#!+ constantly while the teacher is trying to sustain a lesson. It is misbehavior.
