Teacher here. I joke about having invisible eyes all around my head, but having a literal extra person to keep an eye on things would be real cool. Literal superpower with teaching kids haha.
My six year olds think I have eyes n the back of my head. I tell them they'll get them when they have babies but if they try to find them n My hair they'll never be able to have them.
They're astonished at how I know what happened when I'm not around or how I give them advice and when they don't listen things happen like I tell them. They even wonder how I know who's talking 🤣
HAHAHA my twins are the same :') they think they are so quietly whispering and not making noise. But they talk louder than my deaf grandma and bags of snacks make noise.
My mom always said the same thing, except she was always wrong, accusing me of shit i didn't do, and making wild assumptions with no basis in reality and punishing me anyway because she thought it was necessary to keep up the act like she had this bullshit omniscience. It was the first thing that clued me in how full of shit she really was. The ability to admit she was wrong, didn't know something, and apologize would have gone a lot further in maintaining my respect than pretending to be all-knowing when she so clearly wasn't.
I remember in first grade it almost led to child services being called because I told my teacher how my mom was always seeing things that weren't there, didn't happen, or that she was just imagining. That was an awkward parent-teacher conference.

They could screw with those kids so good with a good teacher/bad teacher routine
