MÖTLEY CRÜE KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS AU
So I'm an assistant teacher for the first grade and that's got me thinking, what if the mötley guys were primary/kindergarten teachers? BTW the guys are all 30 and older in these scenarios (minus Tommy) because young crüe is not teacher material (they are first grade student material 💀)
🐉 Nikki's class is called the dragonfly class, and the kids don't know it, but Nikki's class is for all the kids who were considered “troublemakers” by previous preschool teachers, in fact it was recommended by their previous teachers that the school not take on these kids, but having been a troubled child himself, Nikki doesn't see a bunch of misbehaved kids, he sees children in desperate need of some genuine love and encouragement
🐉That being said Nikki is no push over, he has a record for being heard quieting down the kids from two classrooms down.
🐉A day in Nikki's class is best described as organized chaos, there's no real set routine that the firefly class follows Nikki pretty much decides what he wants to do today on his drive to work or even as he's greeting his class but when Nikki does decide what their going to do today he sets it up perfectly in a way that causes the least amount of chaos possible.
🐉 Nikki has mentioned on the Eddie trunk podcast/radio show that he has this thing in his house called “the talking chair” and he'll take his own kids there to talk to them about a serious issue or to help sort out some intense emotion. So I'm gonna take that concept and marry it with this AU, he's got a talking chair in his class for whenever some of the kids need to talk something though or there's been a fight between friends at break time, Nikki will call them over to the talking chair to get everything sorted out. Everyone in school knows that if Mr. Sixx calls you over to the talking chair, everything is gonna be okay.
🐉 Nikki has also used the talking chair on a few of the parents and you'd be shocked by how well it works. He's a firm believer that communication is everything.
🐉 This also leads me quite nicely to his teaching style, he's an auditory kinda guy, he will explain everything thoroughly and really loves getting the kids involved by asking questions and making them a part of the conversation.
🐉 As well put together as Nikki usually comes off, every year in the middle of the school year Nikki has a mental breakdown of epic proportion that always leaves him in absolute shambles, it usually happens in private though, keyword usually, the one year it didn't was quite the experience. He just takes way too much on his plate and ends up spreading himself too thin and eventually spirals out of control.
🐉 Mick is well aware of these yearly breakdowns and can sense when one in bubbling near the service and when he can tell Nikki is about to explode soon, he let's Nikki's class sit in with his for story time so they don't have a repeat of Nikki having one in front of the kids.
🐉 Nikki then usually has to take a week off just to get his head together again.
🐉 Nikki is also the best at giving the kiddos art, he's always so kind and mindful of everyone's skill level, he definitely has a board in his class to pin up all the drawings he gets given throughout the year.
🐬 His class is the dolphin class, named after his favorite football team :)
🐬 Vince is definitely one of those teachers who reads off of Word documents he definitely didn't make himself, however he gives such an entertaining performance that no body even cares about that, he's laughing joking around and in general making the vibe of the classroom nice and airy.
🐬 Nobody is allowed to leave Mr. Neil's class without feeling confident, Vince doesn't know how he'd have made it this far in life without his charisma and self confidence and when he sees one of his students lights flickering he'll always be there to reignite it.
🐬 Though not technically allowed if his class are being too rowdy and he just can't take it anymore, he'll allow them an early recess to burn off some energy so that they can come back to class after recess spent and tired and quiet so he can get though the material they need to learn.
🐬 Vince gets wayyyy to enthusiastic about the sport, especially the baseball which he coaches. He's been known to bad mouth refs from other schools in front of the children.
🐬 Absolutely does NOT preach good sportsmanship, fucking kill em out there kids, no mercy. (He has gotten a written warning about this)
🐬 He is also definitely one of those teachers that bribes his kids to pay attention like “Jennifer you got that right, come get yourself a lollipop from the treat jar!”
🐬 “Mr. Neil! Toby pulled my pigtails!”
🐬 “It's cause he's jealous that you have nice hair and he's bald Samantha.”
🐬 All the little girls in his class see his pretty long blonde hair and immediately want to play with it, he says no every single time so they have to settle for braiding Mr. Lee's hair instead.
🐬 The dolphin class has a set routine from day 1 and they follow it everyday up until the day before summer, Vince hates a disorganized clas cause it causes chaos (he would have a heart attack if he saw Nikki's syllabus)
🐬 I actually wanna say that Vince and Nikki low-key had beef with each other when the first started working with together. I think they both started in the same year and thought the other was a terrible teacher, Vince was like “How are they ever gonna learn anything when all you do is read from a book and yap at them, that's never gonna stick!” And Nikki is like “How are they ever gonna learn how to be good human beings in society with such a self obsessed teacher!”
🐬 They are both wrong about each other and honestly….I don't think they ever learn from the experience I low-key think they just found out a system to work around each other and have a stay out of my business policy, which does at least graduate them to the frenemies status.
🌙 Mick is has been teaching at the same school for 20 years and he is one Nonsense email for a parent away from quiting this profession entirely.
🌙 His class is called the moon class. His first year teaching at the school all the teachers had solar themed classrooms like one class was the sun class, another class the star class etc. And the name just kinda stuck forever despite all the other classes setting a very clear animal theme, Mick truly does not care even when given a “subtle” nudge from Nikki to potentially change the name maybe like 100 times, he just refuses.
🌙 “Come on Mr. Mars, all of our classes have animal names, your the odd one out here, I'd really like for us to be uniform for once.”
🌙 “Son, my class has been called the moon class since before you were born and it will stay that way until the day that you one day rest in your grave, understood?”
🌙 Mick is the oldest member of the staff and is subject to a lot of judgment from these younger teachers who don't agree with the good old fashioned way of doing things, but all the young teachers cave after like 2 months of trying to work their class with a gentle parenting style and all come crawling to him for tips when their children just won't listen.
🌙 Storytime in Mr. Mars's class is a star studded event, because you know he's doing all the silly character voices, and each character has a very distinct way of speaking so the kiddos never wonder which character is talking at any given moment, the students are always laser focused in on Mick completely mesmerized by the story.
🌙 Unlike Nikki, Mick is a physical learner, so you'll always catch him giving the kids little gummy fruit snacks to learn how to devide, or showing the kids little models he'd built to explain the concept of the water cycle or something.
🌙 If the moon class is really good all week then Mick allows them a little treat and he'll play guitar for them, he even takes song requests, though not usually too complicated the kids minds are always blown when he plays anything, even twinkle twinkle little star.
🌙 Whenever a kid is having an emotional problem of some kind he is guilty of loading them off on Nikki or Tommy, he isn't unfeeling but he's bad with words and not really all that sensitive and even after 20 years of teaching Mick is afraid he'll say something insensitive and totally traumatize a child so he'd rather they go to one of the more emotionally inclined teachers.
🌙 Nap time in Mr. Mars's class is also so nice because Mick has one of those star light mobiles that make it look like there are moving stars on the roof.
🌙 Also when the kids nap, so does Mick, he gets Tommy to wake him up then they wake the kids together.
⭐ Tommy is a teaching assistant, he doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life but he knows it has something to do with music so he figures he'll just take this job for a year to safe up some money to go study music at college.
⭐ He mainly helps out in the moon class in fact the school originally hired Tommy just to help Mick out after he informed the school about his AS, but Tommy does end up jumping between classes sometimes, like when Nikki's class of cute little gremlins get a little to hard to deal with without backup.
⭐ Tommy and Mick end up playing a game of good cop, bad cop more often then not, Tommy being good cop of course.
⭐ The kids all take to Tommy like ducks to water, he's funny, charming,closer to all their ages then their teachers and he even plays games with them at recess so they see Tommy as more of a cool big kid friend that ties their shoes rather then a teacher.
⭐ This has its pros and cons, while the kids do like him and are more likely to confide in him then others they also tend to not take him too seriously and totally ignore him when he asks them to quiet down or do something.
⭐ Tommy uses the school's printer and tape to make stickers for the birthday kids that say “it's my birthday and all I got was this lousy sticker from Mr. Mars and Mr. Lee” Mick despises them but the kids love them so they stay.
⭐ Tommy as the assistant is also always put on accident duty, so if a kiddo doesn't make it in time he's the one who has to get them a change of pants and keep them calm, this is his least favorite task to do and as the year processes luckily gets much less likely to pop up.
