- A recent report from the Ohio Department of Education reveals there's a critical need for more teachers in southwest Ohio. “It's a big deal. Absolutely a big deal,” said Jeff Wensing, Vice President of the Ohio Education Association. “There are about 50% less students choosing education as a major. That’s concerning." Data from Ohio Department of Education’s report shows there’s an increase of Ohio teachers who are deciding to leave the profession. Of more than 2,300 teachers surveyed, 72% reported they have seriously considered leaving their job recently.
Those parents who keep saying "I'll have your job". Let them have it now. Require those parents to be the teachers of those unruly violent kids
ikr, and i'm lovin it. let those parents enjoy teaching their little monsters themselves.
Lack of student discipline.
Students know how their teachers are treated because they are in the room. They will tell you. That's why they're not becoming education majors. Point Blank. It is no longer a desirable or sustainable profession. and as an educator, I DONT BLAME THEM.
Funny how they keep saying "how can we support you." But as soon as you tell them you get gaslit. Eliminate the unnecessary workload and remove disruptive kids who have ZERO interest in learning out of the classroom. That'll solve more than half of all teacher problems.
people need to stop becoming teachers and teaching those little monsters, let their parents have it.
The students' behavior mirror their parents and their environment.
It's pretty traumatizing to have a student who has physically (or even verbally) assaulted you return back to the classroom after what? A one-day suspension? And they won't even call it that in most cases so that the child/ school doesn't look bad. It's pretty exhausting to go into work every day to complete your contracted work hours, only to go home and spend even more hours planning, grading, making phone calls, attending meetings, etc., because the work expectations simply do not fit into a work day/ week. It's pretty frustrating when you have to spend your own hard-earned money to provide necessary resources for your classroom (headphones, pencils, paper, paint, etc.). It's pretty daunting watching your peers in other fields receive promotions that are paid for by their employers, because in education, to receive a promotion entails of going back to school for at least two years (most of the time) and coming out with no less than 25k in student debt if you're lucky. And please, no one start with the, "but you get paid and are off during the summers" blah blah blah. Most teachers in the country sign 10-month contracts, and the only reason why they receive paychecks throughout the summertime is because they have already earned it and are receiving it late.
Let's not even start with the pressure to pass students who show up 20 days out of a 180-day school year. It is beyond insulting. And the only reason why teachers receive so many breaks throughout the year is because the government has learned time and time again that the workload is far too much for most teachers and have recognized that they will call out anyway and will likely even take a leave of absence or file some sort of mental health/ stress claim authorized by their medical professional at the district's cost. Furthermore, most districts really have 2 to 3 times the amount of SPED/ IEP students than what is documented. While I am certain that the majority of students weren't born with learning disabilities or at any sort of intellectual disadvantage, I do believe that many students are developing them due to technological addictions, the "need" to feel entertained at all times, their "need" for instant gratification at all times. So just because you don't understand a math problem the first time, you become completely disruptive and start throwing tantrums? Just, ugh. This is only a fraction of what teachers deal with. Districts can start by paying them MUCH more because we can quickly climb the corporate ladder at Amazon and the likes while doubling if not tripling our salaries.
I could not have said it better. It's easy for administrators to spew out the rhetoric the superintendent in this video did when they are collecting six-figure salaries. They talk a good game to get teachers in the door but do very little to support them.
Yes, exactly. I am a teacher and I have witnesses over the last 5 to 6 years. Had a student pick another student up and slam him on his head and return to the class the next day. I’ve had students in fourth grade take phone calls on the watch and tell me that they need to step up the hall to take it. No consequences. Absolute insanity.
Some children ARE BORN with mental disabilities. Some times it begins in the womb! A mother could be on drugs, the infant may have lacked oxygen during the birth process. Both or one of the parents may have mental issues. That is what you call innate.
Well said!,
I'm not even that old (28) but even when I was in middle school/high school 10-15 years ago, you'd get a 3 day suspension for raising your voice at the teacher, I can't imagine getting physical with a teacher. That would have been an automatic expulsion. I had detentions throughout my elementary years for not turning in an assignment on time, I hear that nowadays deadlines aren't held up.
Teachers are overworked. It is one of the hardest jobs to get, hardest jobs to keep, and it it loosing its luster. I could easily work 24 hrs a day, seven days a week, and still not get everything done I am required to do. Hours and hours laying on the floor at home grading papers after a 8 hr work day and coaching a sport.
I totally get it. Teaching and Mortgage Underwriter are likely the two most demanding and underappreciated jobs out there.
I loved teaching for a decade as a high school teacher until a student pushed me down a flight of stairs, permanently disabling me and ending my career. I was finishing my thesis pursuing to teach at university.
It wasn't the first time I was assaulted at work.
God be with you! 🙏🏾 I'm so sorry to hear this. Any compensation? What consequences did the student face?
Omg, that is horrible. These parents/students need to be held accountable for their actions. Not only that but the school districts need to step up their game and make it be known that there is zero tolerance for disruptive behavior and especially violence. I am so sorry you were assaulted at that school and can no longer teach. It's so sad.
I’m so sorry that happened to you😢
@@NaturalBrownCupcake I've been getting paid disability, but the school won't release video footage of the hallway, and refuse to give me the name of the student. They've tried to terminate me several times and this has been in litigation for 7 years. Yes seven.
@@christinecampbell7301 I don't know you personally, but I'm praying for you. I hope you win the case. I know money doesn't solve all, but you deserve that in the least. May God console you and give you strength in your situation 🙏🏾.
It’s not pay. It’s horribly disrespectful students and their equally misbehaved parents. I live it every day.
Pay teachers like you pay CEO's 😊
@Numbered--Weighed--Divided Well thank you for the correction 🤣🤣🤣
@@happygrandma4ruthP Thank you for responding with humility, Happy Grandma. Wish all commentators could be like you! 😊
I'll go back to the classroom for 300k
Same here
Why? Disrespectful students, parents, and less supportive administrators. Less pay, more work, no discipline gor students. I mean news are spreading that many students haven't had an actual teacher for months.
Cincinnati, is not the only city. There is a teacher shortage all over the country. Why? Because of the issues that have been stated here.
IT BECAUSE OF LACK OF PAY !!!
I just retired after 26 years in public education and I have seen all these things. I was shocked when I returned from my studies and teaching in Asia in the early 1990s and saw how behind our American kids were compared to their Asian counterparts. I studied in Taiwan, China, and Japan. I also taught in the after school cram schools that teach English and higher math. The Asian kids go to regular school and work hard and attend cram school after school for several hours on their dime. In school poor behavior, lack of effort, or poor attendance are not tolerated by teachers, admin, or parents. The kids compete in a merit based system to get into the best high schools and universities. We are losing to the Asians in education. I hold a MA in East Asian Studies Chinese, a Fulbright Scholarship in China, and a Fulbright Scholarship in Japan.
Satan and his minions have been trying to destroy America for decades. Take corporal punishment out of schools. Take bible reading out.
honestly.. the worst thing when i was a teacher was starting at 7:30 am with kids hyper as hell running through the halls. why so early? its nauseatingly early.
I totally agree! Why start so stupid early???
Education is mandated, but not valued in America.
We all pay for this poor choice.
Instead America is a wealthy, impoverished, dysfunctional country.
Everyone has a critique, but who is willing to invest in teaching what they know, if indeed they really do know it.
little too little, little to late---this has been coming down the road, and we have been expected to just suck it up and keep it going with very little support for what we are dealing with
People have no idea how difficult it is to be a teacher in America right now.
You asked for it, you got it ‘Merica!
Too much work, too little pay, that we already knew. But forced semi-nomadism, aggression by students or student's parents, political manipulation, pressure and persecution so 100% high marks are achieved ... Oh, it's not only in the in States it's in Europe as well.
This is republicans fault.
I can't understand why people are not lined up to be reprimanded for their students refusing to follow lesson plans and do assignments. There should be hundreds, if not thousands, of college grads willing to be assaulted for saying "please put down your phone".
Gee, I wonder why?
Not once did they mention not enough pay, especially for what you have to go tnrough smh
Don't worry big tech is working on robots that teach🤭
Those will get assaulted too.
What support do teachers need? For starters, how about a living wage?
We really don’t need teachers to teach tbh I’m in college right now taking online classes we r basically teaching ourselves professors are just grading our papers I have taking all my classes online except A&P2
Looks like grammar teachers are definitely needed.
I completely disagree! This comment is quite ignorant.
And how did you get into college in the first place? Did you jump from grade->middle school and then immediately college?

Pay -- OMG -- its PAY -- pay them more, get more of them, and get rid of families that dont prepare children for school, thereby ruining the experience and opportunities of those without Karen-Moms.
