11:40 Yeah lets not act like the school is so "PURE" in it's bs.

crying 😭😭

Here for the Paper Mario love ❤

I just finished my first year as a teacher and this video was SO nice, thank you!! Everything you mentioned is why I hate my job. I love all aspects other than the stress of misbehavior and admin expecting me to be a miracle worker, lol.

I miss the old school overhead projectors

I think because I am 34 that I have more tolerance for mediocre or "mid" stuff. Part of it was being a child of the 90s who mostly watched things because they were on and had no other option. I sort of held onto that up through the early 2010s when streamers began to overpower the market. I still want to believe something mediocre has room to grow into something good because I've seen that happen before. Sometimes you feel cheated, but I'd argue art is inherently more interesting when it's flawed. It says something about either the creator or the consumer's instincts. I think mid isn't as accepted now because our free time is commodified and, especially since I try to only watch stuff in the evening, that's a very limited window when you want to feel your time is valued. I try to welcome mid into my life more, but metaphorically my DVR is so overstocked that something will be deleted/forgotten after a week anyway. I think more people should embrace average-ness in media just because I think it can inspire more thought on why it's working differently than great or terrible work. I don't know, I like to think art encourages more thought than yay or nay votes. That, and how much really is objectively "great," anyway? It's a lot more nuanced than that.

I think one big part of it is people misuse the term "mid" when they mean to say they dislike something. I definitely agree there shouldn't be a problem with things being average in most cases, I mean a lot of the anime I've watched I'd consider pretty average. And average isn't bad! It's ok to consume imperfect media!

corporal punishment

As a parent, I absolutely love how you didn't include parents in the end 😂 "Teacher now or before? Student now or recently? Parents... You are not helping and can kick rocks." and that is 100% deserved. I always tried to be as attentive and respectful to the people educating my child as possible. The same way I was when they were educating me. Because without fail, every parent before and after me was only there to inform the teacher of what they were doing wrong... Wtf is that? No Joke, thank you for your service. Yes, I think you all should have the same levels of gratitude and benefits as our armed service women and men... Without the armed part... And actually receiving the benefits.

Early Gen X. If we had kids they would be homeschooled. Opponents of homeschooling say "What about social skills?" I've known plenty of homeschooled kids. Not are they socialized quite well, a lot of ten-year-olds can already read on a high school level. They're already doing algebra and foreign languages. Only bullying they deal with is when the dog wants supper.

I mean, isn't this kids being kids? Like, kids were always bullies and shitty and ignored work and crap. Teachers were always shit at disciplining kids. Ask me about the age old story of "the bully bullies the quiet kid forever and gets away with it; the quiet kid complains and nothing gets done; but, the second the quiet kid punches back, they get suspended." School has always been an awful at discipline. Either they beat kids -- which doesn't work -- or they try detention -- which does work -- or this new thing that doesn't work. Why? Because they need parents to discipline them properly. Which also doesn't happen ever. Why? In the past, it's because they just hit the kids which just teaches kids to not do stuff when the parents are around. Second their gone, they return to their old behavior. Now, I feel parents know the right answer but our economic system has deteriorated so horribly that most families have both parents working (sometimes multiple jobs each) for ever diminishing quality of life that they can't afford to raise their kids. Don't get me started on companies stealing our time (the normalization of 9-5 becoming 9 to 6 in the last decade, stealing 5 hours a week we could spend with our families). The reality is we have a complex web of issues with no simple solution that will require a multipronged plan dealing with corporate work abuse, income inequality, inequity in access to high quality education, reversing the 50 year long attack on education by conservatives, and much more to fix it.

3 strikes and you are out. Taxpayers are not obligated to miscreants. Parents better figure out how to get their kids in line. If they can't, kids become wards of the state. We need to educate those who are serious. Society first. Brats last.

I worked at a middle school and even with a full team of social workers and nearly all the teachers called home, there is still a lot of misbehaver. And students have no motivation and only want to goof off or do whatever. Reading levels are way below age level-it's nuts. I really do blame it on social media and poor parenting.

Lmfao literally got bullied by literal children.

im in high school rn (younger gen z) and i noticed this same thing with people not knowing things that we should've learned in middle school (especially in my grade because covid was part of every year of middle school for us one way or another and half of the people say that they didnt pay any attention during online school not to mention the teachers (understandably) didnt teach at or hold us to the same standard that they used to, i know some of my teachers would just cancel class sometimes because they didnt want to do it) and not only do they pass, but there are people who don't understand these basic concepts and are somehow put in honors classes year after year. and a lot of people are much more disrespectful than you'd except them to be especially to the teachers. like theyll disrespect a teacher directly to their face just for like assigning homework or something. and nothing is done about either of these things, so it doesnt get fixed

7:30 omg I work with kids in middle school and if I found out a teacher was texting them on their phone number, no matter what, I am reporting that. These kinds of things turn really ugly when ignored

I needed this today. I work at a tech company and i started as a Co-Op (intern but fancy) and i had an excellent time and i performed very well. Welp i ended up getting an email saying there was no budget for 2023 to hire us back so the job i was told I would have became non-existent because an exec was sales driven vs operations driven. 2023 was a struggle and it felt like everything I did to prove myself was all for nothing and I shouldn't try. It made me feel like i didnt do enough and I failed. Luckily in 2024 I'm back at the company in a different position as a contractor but I'm counting my blessings. Good video!

It's important to remember it's never just one reason --parents, IPads, school reform, etc. It's a perfect storm of all those reasons combined.

About schools giving students Chrome Books: I live in Sweden and we recently had huge protests over this. Parents and teachers alike had grown suspicious over how bad teenagers had gotten at writing (handwriting, spelling, grammar, constructing sentences, all of it). It was then discovered that it had become very common for kids not the be taught handwriting AT ALL - little kids were increasingly taught to write on keyboards, with spell-check. So last year a new law was proposed to get screens out of schools and bring back papers and pens. We'll see how the whole thing pans out. (My kids aren't in school yet, but I know my 5 year old uses an iPad so much at his daycare "for educational purposes" that I don't want to use it at home at all.)

THANK YOU for bringing up weak teachers in this discussion! My grandpa was a teacher back in the day and he has plenty of stories to tell of misbehaving students and how he handled that + the occasional story of teachers who failed to handle it and had the situation spiral out of control. Teachers always had to be strong personalities. Schools always had to set rules (and actually enforce them!) And yeah, parents always had to wrangle their kids. A lot of the time now, it feels like too few adults are even trying, leaving the actually competent adults to struggle and burn themselves out over a workload that is just too big. I think adults as a group are quite weak right now - and kids know this. The only solution is for everyone to come together, toughen up and stop letting the children run the show. Easier said than done, of course, when things are already pretty out of control, but it's not like it gets better if we leave it to deteriorate even further. "It takes a village", but nobody has a village anymore.

Sorry... Old school worked... Having to stick your nose on a circle in the chalk board for talking, prevented most kids from talking... As did having to copy a page from the dictionary... Not to mention that if our parents heard we were punished at school, the punishment continued, and was generally far worse at home.... And ultimately, you cannot change the behavior of bad children, if they are getting it from bad parents who enable and encourage that behavior...

I was born in the early- to middle-years of Gen Z; it sometimes feels like those above us cannot comprehend that, for the most part, we are either experiencing our formative years or are on the edge of such; part of that--especially for those of us who are adults, toying with notions of what our lives, once we shed our graduation-gowns, may look like--is considering ourselves as heads of families, as parents. When everyone makes such a big fuss--however deserved it may be--about the newest generation being one step socially or cognitively or behaviorily apart from our primate ancestors, such discourse has the added backhanded undertone, which, while unspoken & perhaps unperceived, figuratively sterilizes us; castrates the notion that we, with parents born well before millennials, in some cases, will implement some of the ways which we were raised, once time comes for us to be mothers and fathers. That which we received from our parents, of which we disapprove, we will alter for our kids, yes--but we will not discard it. I am confident that the current growth pains--let us call them--that Gen-alpha is experiencing are only temporary, not only on their end, since they still have years ahead of them to mature; also from the fact that there are some of us yet, who, having witnessed it, will begin to take action against such problems happening again. (P.S., forgive the long-windedness: I think I have been reading too much Virginia Woolf and it is now starting to affect my writing, stylistically. 😅)

If we don't teach children discipline and respect in school then the police will teach them other lessons when they leave school.

Raising some gen Zs currently and the youngest had a rough time through the pandemic. She almost flunked and she'd been a good student before lock downs. In her case, her teachers were trying their best. They tried to be flexible; my child was telling me she finished things, pretending she finished them and then didn't...and then the teacher would contact me the next day furious that I'd said she was done blah blah blah and she was not. They had good reason to be angry with her; I was angry with her. Yet I know what was happening because I was watching it. These kids were a mess and my daughter did not give 2 ishes about "schoolwork". It's the end of the world, as far as she's concerned, and she did not care about sewing a bag with recycled stuff or learning some stupidly complicated way of doing math, etc.

Im an older gen Z and im glad i got out when i did.

My 18 year old got her first mobile device and headphones when she was still in her stroller. She was reading with 5th grade comprehension by age 3. 12th grade by age 7. College by age 11. We had her tested. What we did is read with her every day and definitely before bed until she told us it was cringe 😂. I think a lot of people just find it to be too much work so they dont bother. But you need to know... Its the teachers job to introduce concepts and foster skills. Its caregivers job to reinforce learning with practice and encouragement at home. Dont be surprised if your kid is illiterate if you dont participate in their education.

I’m in some autistic support groups and they tried to use restorative justice with an autistic 6 year old who had a autistic meltdown (which is very similar to a panic attack but looks different) they were doing all the steps though but that basically just meant that the kid had to apologize to his classmates for having a basically medical issue in class

My school experience was very ostracizing. I found it hard to interact and relate to my peers because I guess I’ve always thought on a higher level and had very different interests. I never really felt I had friends within the school setting because it was so secluded and I was seeing relatively the same people almost every day. I felt isolated, and the bullying didn’t help at all

We had a block schedule, meaning every day except Friday was three two hour classes. (I think. It's been a while, I graduated in 2016). There were two history teachers assigned to teach American History. One of the teachers was a crazy conspiracy theorist. For the first 40 minutes of class, he'd just let the kids ask him about all of the crazy things that he believed it. Then he had a 20 minute lecture. Then the entire second hour of class was a movie related to the lecture. The other teacher was an Afghani-American woman. She was like, a third generation American, so she spoke flawless English with no accent...But her class was actually utilizing the full two hours for educational purposes. Some of the kids in her class went to administration and complained that they "couldn't understand her accent". Administration never bothered to actually get to know her, and based on her name alone, they were able to move them to the other guy's class. I was in her AP US History class, and she probably over-shared a bit to those of us in that period. She definitely seemed totally hurt and frustrated by how admin had handled the situation. They let the kids get away with making up racist bullshit to get out of doing any work. I wasn't an angel-child. I remember saying and doing things during some of the debates she held in her class that I look back at and cringe, but I cannot IMAGINE just lying to change teachers. And the fact that administration knew her so little that they couldn't smell the bullshit was fucking ridiculous. I don't think she still works at that school any more, and good for her.

I'm in Australia and this is TRIPPING ME OUT- and I kinda get it- I have one kid in public school where the kids are rowdy as hell and one kid in "semi- private" allgirl school (umm, like it's run by the government but she had to sit some big deal exam to get it so lol, I call it "a school filled with Ravenclaws"😂) so I always thought it had more to do with money. Cos I relate more to my son's experience in public school than I do with my daughter's- cos OF COURSE in a school full of nerds you aren't going to get as many kids throwing chairs at teachers (actually happened!! But lol, upon meeting the teacher I can understand why- he had NO authority at all, the naughty boys in the class- who were already almost twice his size- walk all over him...awww😂😭) but the girls in RavenclawSchool are too busy studying and competing against each other to risk doing ANYTHING to derail this very narrow shining "path of success" they're on, its a bit worrying...for my son I worry about him getting stabbed in a stupid fight, for my daughter I'm worrying about burnout- there's no balance!!😭😂 They're both equally awful and I don't know how to fix it cos so much of it depends on your environment, and who your kids are exposed to- but I can't control who they're friends with cos gigglesnort, that NEVER works and sounds creepy (and exhausting) anyway, parenting is hard- its like I created this tiny perfect little jewel and now Im watching the world hack and grind and wear away at it lol my poor babies!!😂😂😭

'teachers who believed they're the child whisperers...but in fact didn't show appropriate boundaries' as a teacher this is SO spot on

Biggest Stereotype for each Generation: Boomers- Hippies Gen X- Slacker Millennials- Spoiled Gen Z- Snowflakes Gen Alpha- Stupid

i think what we are seeing is a problem with parenting styles. i'm not going to sit around and knock my fellow millennials for being 'too soft!' or whatever. they may be, but i don't think that is the root of the problem. i don't think children need 'hard' discipline. i think there must be some way that children can be disciplined which doesn't inadvertently reduce their sense of agency as an autonomous person or their sense of safety in the interpersonal relationship between them and a caretaker as a result. i think firm or hard discipline creates these feelings-so a time out is not firm, calling out actions that physically or emotionally hurts the people around them is not firm, removing privileges like video games isn't firm unless it's a go-to first course of action and p excessive for the incident. and i think a teacher who makes a child stand in the hall is actually one of the better forms of discipline: there is a little walk of shame which isn't great, but it gives them time to calm down and get out their pouts and reflect. seeing the principal isn't a punishment for repetitive disruptions or harms, either, but it may reinforce behaviour, not because the principal is soft, but because i remember how kids used to boast, esp boys, who were more likely to take it as a badass badge of honour: 'i was so bad i got sent to the principal! s/he threatened to paddle me and everything! _and i survived and stand here now!!'_ to quote foucault, i think it's a case of: _'people know what they do; they frequently know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does.'_ contextually: if how we raise our kids is by avoiding not being our parents, did we ever stop to think about how changing the fundamental core of the surroundings those kids exist in also changes the *context and results* of how they internalise discipline when it can't be avoided? something traumatic to a child who is left with the feeling the conditions for love and affection hinge on an undefined, murky haze of undefined yet expected behaviours-and seemingly goes away, for example, in the between stage of being angrily sent away to await a punishment and the last smack of a hand, belt, wooden spoon, etc before coming back in the aftermath with a curt 'you know i love you still' (which is answering a question never verbalised, lowkey confirming the fear and not alleviating it)-may be completely forgotten by a child who doesn't exist with that same uncertainty, because there is no pattern of abuse directed by anger. so a public callout for a bad behaviour, while a lil shameful and embarrassing in the moment, isn't retained for years because that fear of having to meet the conditions for love isn't present, whereas for a child who does exist constantly having to gauge the level of infraction and parental anger brewing underneath a public facade and if it made them unlovable *will* remember the anxiety of 15 more minutes of grocery shopping while trying not to add to the anger counter. a child who is grounded and revoked privileges but that time is spent with constructive interacting with their parent and a clear understanding of why what they did was wrong and a clear understanding that their video games were taken so they have to really think about how they really hurt their classmate's feelings and how it affected them. or more directly, how their games may be the cause of their grades and maybe even parent and child working together in that time for solutions to keep their grades _while_ having game privileges as a condition to earn them back-with revoking explicitly on the table if they don't commit like promised. both of these environments, assuming the parent also spends time with their child to try to understand them deeper _outside of_ discipline situations, is wildly different than the ones which most of us had, where the privileges got revoked 'because' and we were told 'go think on what you did' with zero guidance from people with life experience to give direction to think about our actions. the second one also includes affirmative agency and responsibility, with the consequences understood in advance for irresponsibility. again, we didn't think about the larger context when we decided 'well, i'm certainly not going to discipline my kids like my parents did me' that what we hold as traumatic events in the name of discipline carry the context with it. without that context of our parents' lack of assuring we understood the why for the discipline, combined with a better understanding and acceptance of the child as they are, themself, disciplinary events are probably less trauma-inducing and work to build up social knowledge and self-betterment. we didn't have that luxury, and often discipline included not wanting to 'hear excuses', accusations of lying in answers of questions, a lot of 'because i'm the adult, i'm your parent and i said so' and a whole lotta no guidance and expectations of wisdom that directly conflicts with being treated as a child, a not-adult, parental property. and i think there is where we run into _the_ problem. millennials are often trying to avoid the 'my child is a mini-me' on some level, that a child is their own person with their own desires and likes/dislikes. but we are _really_ bad at it. we don't commit entirely to it because we're trying to figure out how that looks, when kids are ignorant and learning all this shit the world is throwing at them. it's a harsh time to be alive, it definitely seems like a traumatic time to just... exist _as a child_ with minimal power, currently. so who fucking _knows_ if your discipline will leave the same traumatic scars you have. being a parent is hard and parents usually fuck it up, and this child will have to unpack that shit as an adult, it's all _your_ fault as a parent if so and- but we also don't think of what inaction due to anxiety paralysis will do. how that lack of structure may cause scars too. how getting tough love advice from social media more often than from a parent who genuinely gives a shit and knows them and can ease them into a truth that may hurt to hear but needs to be heard and help them cope can definitely cause scars. but ultimately? i remember this shit is repeated from the playbook on millennials and gen z. gen z was touted both as these zany entrepreneurs who loved capitalism (before they had jobs that paid them less money than they could feed their cat with) but also over-pampered little sensitive babies who couldn't read because ipads are all images no text and youtube autoplay. no penmanship was going to lead gen z to be unable to remember shit and be a bunch of internet media drones with nothing going on between their ears. they have no attention span as a result, making learning impossible. the only thing i've noticed is gen z does have a strikingly high level of god-awful penmanship and signatures that i am pretty sure are just scrawled emblems in one oval for names too long for such a quick lil oval, and i have to painstakingly block-text any notes going to them because cursive is a mystery to them, but other than that... i have listened to a lot of gen z critiques and social issue essays. those kids are doing just fine, and i guarantee you gen A will be fine too and bring valuable and unique perspectives to sociopolitical topics too, and the kids will be all right. they'll grow up, and maybe they'll need some help for a lack of structure, and maybe they'll say 'oh, i won't discipline my kids like my parents did me!' and they'll heavily refine the techniques for their kids, and they'll do better, but they'll still fuck up. that's parenting in a nutshell. maybe, tho, maybe one generation will eventually realise: 'maybe i can't do this by myself'. and then we might finally, _finally,_ see the day where communal child raising is more accepted, and so children are far less traumatised because the different perspectives act as protection against the insular tiny little world of the nuclear family as representative of the way whole world is expected to function. maybe. but these kids, they'll be fine. generational panic is a classic moral panic. it's great to be concerned about these issued but 'doomed' is just panic shit because we millennials are shitting ourselves as we watch ourselves also fuck up in real time. the kids'll be all right.

I was born in the late 90s and worked as a teacher this year for grades 1 to 6. They had no freaking clue how to create a Microsoft office doccument or do a powerpoint presentation. They were 12 and legit asked me what that was 😮

Sighhhhh new sub!! I lauve ur channel already 😋

In my opinion, we're dealing with what is essentially a crisis of emotional intelligence. That is, both Gen Alpha and their caregivers have a very low tolerance for emotional discomfort. Gen Alpha is rarely disciplined for misbehavior because their caregivers look for ways to stop the distress they feel when Gen Alpha misbehaves rather than look for ways meaningfully address the problem. In turn, Gen Alpha has learned that they can avoid consequences and get what they want by weaponizing their behavior, and therefore when something doesn't go their way, they don't know how to process it emotionally. We are probably going to end up with two kinds of Gen Alpha: 1. The "good" ending: These are the ones who will learn the hard way when their supports fall away and will have to take it upon themselves to develop emotional intelligence. These ones are going to make damn sure the people after them don't make the same mistakes. 2. The "bad" ending: These are the ones who won't learn and will spend a lifetime thinking or trying to prove that everyone else is responsible for their mostly self-inflicted problems.

"I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you!" This is pretty much how it goes for you. I'm saying this as a teacher. If you can't teach these kids, then you're the failure. Again, I'm saying this as a Title 1 teacher. Also, no. You can't be chill with your students. They are shitheads. You need to keep them in line at all times. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. I make some small exceptions for my students who are unhoused, but even so, you have to start strict and stay strict to be able to teach these students.

Culture is so permissive now,and it’s the younger generations bro by hit the hardest by this. Anything goes, and something has to give,sadly,it’s always the teacher who pays.

That’s absolutely wildly inappropriate to be texting your students or messaging over social media. I’m shocked that that even happens. I’m a nanny to two girls (ages 8 and 13) and the older one is constantly begging for me to let her follow me in social media and to have my phone number to text me, but it doesn’t take a genius to realize that kids having access to you 24/7 like that is not good for you or them (obviously unless you are literally their guardian). The oldest daughter has my phone number and is allowed to text me when I am at their house (she’s allowed to go to the store by herself as long as she brings her phone and she is able to call me or her parents if she needs us) but she knows that I block her number as soon as I leave the house, and I will only unblock her the next time I’m there in person working. The dynamic goes both ways. Normalization of private messaging through social media or text between students and teachers is a recipe to allow teachers who actually are predatory, more access to potential victims. And kids will attempt to send you innapropriate unsolicited things as well because they don’t realize they are kids. Kids think they are more mature than they are usually and they like feeling like they have a privileged connection to adults, they idolize adults and even develop crushes on adults easily, so it is the adults responsibility to put up those firm boundaries before anything even has the chance to happen. Private messaging your students, even about homework, is weird asf. Have these ppl never heard of boundaries???

everywhere i go i see majima san!

This video turned around a bad day for me. Thank you.

MAJIMA

Hot take: Teachers are to blame. I'm tired of listening to over paid, over privileged, entitled narcissistic public sector employees complaining about how, "hard," their jobs are then blaming the children for it.

i think he has another twitter ??? ms.cmb or smthing along those lines

even as a Gen Z born in 2004 in see this so much in university. some people don’t know how to even boil a kettle or make toast….

When we come together in a unified formation and act as one singular entity we posses the power and the fundamental essence to extract the things we want in life and make them reality, to believe in things that are beyond our regular scopes and harness the ability to communicate with ghosts, aliens and other supernatural beings”

WHAT (go to 11:53)

They aren't doomed. Humans can learn at every age. There's always hope for you.

I got 2 little cousins (pair of twins) and thank the lord almighty because they have no idea what skibbidy toilet is.

0:45 idk sounds like the same generational hand-wringing we do about every youth culture until they're old enough to start hand-wringing about their kids. I'm 42 and, take it from me, you're just old now, Cato.
