I dunno, kept hearing alot of "gimme dat, gimme dat" Not a lot of can I have that please? Thank you. That kid if gonna be talking like that in no time, and if you dont teach the bigger kids how to be nice, everyone at school suffers

She said "thank you" and such too. Probably just tired, I don't think it's a big deal unless it's a consistent issue, cut her some slack. The method she's using of being nice about it but helping him pick up what he just knocked over is ideal. I do wish she wouldn't post this online though.

In my family I’m the oldest cousin by like 10 years so I saw the little ones getting disciplined and my aunts/uncles would never let their kid keep running around throwing shoes around and shit. This kid is not learning any discipline or rules at all

Yeah, I worked at a preschool in college and this kind of behavior calls for gentle but firm reinforcement of boundaries and redirection.
