underpaid, no way to discipline kids, and they gotta worry about getting shot. Jeez I wonder why there's a shortage?
Yes My thoughts exactly👍
You need a bachelors degree which is 4 to 6 years of studying and tons of student debt just to become a teacher. Only for them to pay you miserable wages for one of the most frustrating and patience demanding jobs. That's why I wouldn't become a teacher.
You seems to look at teaching for what you can get. So it is good you are not interested. Real teachers teachers to serve and help the younger generation.
Only to be bossed around by a business major who got Cs in all of their very very challenging coursework.
it shouldn't take anybody 6 years to graduate with a teaching degree. the reason the pay is low is because it is the easiest curriculum of all 4 year degrees. teaching is a part time job with full time benefits.

@@habibimaya mindsets like you are part of the problem , a profession as teaching shouldn’t be paid as much as it is especially compared to other countries
Pay these teachers for all the years they had to go to school. Pay them a good wage so people would like to teach.
Who would want to be a teacher? We don’t want to pay and we don’t respect them. We let every uneducated parent with a thought talk anyway they want to them tell them what they should be doing and teaching. If you know so we’ll teach your own. We know exactly why this is happening.
All they teach is feelings and sexuality how hard can it be? Considering the quality of the education they provide they are overpaid.
So are you a parent, saxxin1? If so, you just exemplified the comment to which you replied.
My mom is a teacher and she made less as a teacher and more from just Social Security and retirement!
A profession that has been attacked and degraded for decades is now finding it difficult to recruit new workers.
Stunning, right? 🤷🏿♂️
Instead of lowering standards, why not just pay teachers more? In my state, teachers are required to have a master’s degree, yet they make less than $50k starting out (with pay capping out around $85 15 years later). Higher pay would make all the requirements and demands of the job seem worth it/bearable and more teachers would stay. Why are we paying our teachers so little that they can’t afford to rent a one bedroom apartment? No one wants that kind of job.
Boom. On target.
Also many substitute teachers teach for years and just need a chance. Some of them have phDs and masters in their field yet districts keep them as subs
Thats just salt they put to there huge unnecessary debt they go through because of inexcusable college prices
Letting people who have no teaching credentials but have an interest in teaching into the classroom is good for students? Did I hear that right? Just pay teachers what they are worth and stop with all these gimmicks!
Right? I worked hard in my post-bacc secondary ed program at a bonafide university, did all the steps, 2 years of student teaching, etc and incurred graduate-level priced student loans to become a teacher. I could have skipped all that and “just became” a teacher? For better pay?
@@paigeherrin29 yea I know exactly what you mean. No wonder teachers are fed up and feel unappreciated when they will hire people with no degrees or teaching credentials after we paid thousands in student loans to get our degrees. It's literally so degrading to veteran teachers who have had to do things the hard way.
Wow that feels great that anyone can just go and teach now. Here I am with 2 masters degrees and 13 years of teaching and still only at 12 an hour wage and can't even make rent let alone my student loans hmmm but ya let's just lower the requirements rather than pay us
$12 an hour is soooo low. In my city Kansas City, Missouri teachers recieve anywhere from $20-$25 an hour with a Master's Degree during their very first year. This is in the public school system and at a few different public charters. We aren't paid by the hour but by salary.
What city and state are you in?
Part of the problem us the way kids behave. Deadbeat parents, patch key children, social media and Hollywood violence, and drugs.Parents need to learn how to discipline children in love, with firmness! Any one who teaches for 10 years in public schools should get their college debt forgiven and for 15 years, a free Masters degree. All states should increase teachers pay. Finally, beef up school safety.
This comment speaks Karen all over it
Don't forget that school teachers hands are tied when it comes to discipline. A child might be really well-behaved at home but a little monster at school because they know they can get away with anything. Bring back the ability to put a paddle to the rear end of a misbehaving child and everyone in the school will behave mighty fast. Could that be abused? Possibly. But if teachers can't discipline students AT ALL and the students know it, then the classroom turns into a place of pure anarchy. And it is made worse if the little monster is as bad at home as they are at school. Make parents sign a legal waiver that allows the teachers in the school to discipline their children at school. That takes care of the legal side of things. Add on the low pay, the long hours, and teaching policies the teachers themselves don't agree with and it is really surprising that this total collapse of the education system hasn't happened sooner.
I think it's mostly kids and parents, not just deadbeat parents. My friend is a teacher and she said she has gotten bullied by parents and they aren't deadbeats, quite the opposite, they are way too involved with their kids' life. For example, doing their homework, when she calls the parents respectfully out on it, the parents either get mad or play the victim. Of course, the parents are setting up their kids for failure. Another issue she said is politics, she is a 1st-grade teacher and said kids are way too involved in politics that it is insane. Like they said they are either democrats or republicans, on how they support Trump or Biden. Make comments on immigration. Which does cause a lot of tension. When she was in 1st grade, she only knew who was running, and that was about it. Her biggest issue was what Hogwarts house she belongs in and if she doesn't miss an episode of Teen Titans. She also found the news very boring.
Then there is another aspect the breaks, like 20 minutes for 8 hours. I worked at Marshall and for 8 hours shift, I get two 15 minutes breaks and a 45-minute lunch, even on a busy holiday.
@@privacyvalued4134 Teachers can do some non-corpoal discipline. If they have living, firm discipline at home, kids most likely won't get out of hand in the classroom too much. Corporal discipline is not the way to go in school. It would open the way to law suits. Suspension for a week is an option.
SMH! TEACHERS AREN'T PAID ENOUGH!
I work as a substitute Teacher Assistant and Teacher Aide. And my pay Isn't much. I can also see where a Teacher has a difficult job with 15 to 20 students all alone in the classroom. And several of those students need one on one attention at all times. A teacher has more than a full work load. They never get the attention and thanks they deserve.
That’s ok, any advice on how to begin. Filling unfulfilled in my job. I work hard, but it doesn’t help anyone worth the hard work. Teaching sounds like a good way too actually do some good
In Texas (at least in the Houston area) the average students in one class is 30-40 for high school, 30-25 for middle school and for elementary just about 13-17
This country is going down the drain. Schools are so desperate, they are lowering the standards in order to fill positions. As a result, unqualified teachers will be teaching the workforce of the future. What the report doesn't tell you is that the problem is beyond teacher pay. One of the main reasons it's so hard to attract new teachers and retain veteran teachers is unruly students and parents who make teaching almost impossible. Teachers spend more time dealing with bad classroom behaviors than on teaching a lesson. Until the work condition is addressed, the shortage will continue.
No not lowering standards here Texas the alternative teacher cert are moneymakers before you even want to teach you are in between 4 to 5k in hole and 125 per test and you need 2 test
None of this addresses the systematic problems that cause teachers to leave. The idea that you can put anyone with a pulse in the classroom (as many states are doing) and have students learn is insulting to a profession in which most hold Master's degree's in their field. It exemplifies the attitudes that created the systematic problems leading to the exodus of highly trained educators from the field. Teachers are often not paid living wages (Support staff often face poverty wages.), face insurmountable workloads (I work anywhere from 11 to 14 hour days all through the school year in addition to summer work.), increasingly more dangerous work environment (COVID exposures, school shootings, and violent behavior from students; A colleague of mine was strangled by the lanyard holding her classroom keys by a 3rd grade student in her class and that student was back in her classroom the next day), and are constantly villainized in the media and by our local district and communities for advocating for our students and ourselves. The question about the effects on students of having just anyone in the classroom is already evident. I work in a teacher leadership role in my school and I will tell you most untrained people will not be able to effectively educate students. Teaching is more complex than most realize. However, due to the fact that everyone has been to school, everyone seems to view themselves as an expert in education. One of the biggest systematic issues driving teacher out is that very thing; the people who make decisions are not educators or have not worked in a classroom in decades. You cannot make effective change to fix this issue until you put teachers in the room where decisions are being made AND respectfully consider and value their input. Instead of these "stopping the bleeding" measures, put educators at the center and use their guidance to effectively solve the issue before generations of students suffer.
Putting bodies in the classroom to teach a specific topic when the teacher has absolutely no content knowledge. That make any sense?
I was going to school to become a teacher and halfway through changed my major. I’m happy I made the change because teaching is not appealing at all now. I understand why there is a teacher shortage.
Maybe let teachers decide the curriculum instead of really really smart business majors who basically control the entire school administration. Business is a very hard major.
And leave politicians out of it too.
They did this in my nieces school all they got was drag queen hour and they kept telling the boys they were born rapists. No the teachers have no right to tell you what you need to learn. Parent need to write the curriculum. Teachers and the unions have done enough to damage to society as it is.
First of all teachers need to pay out of pocket, we should be getting payed more, there needs to be a better plan for a lockdown and politicians haven’t done anything about that, they stopped providing us hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes which doesn’t help Covid situation, now there’s monkey pox too, we don’t have TA’s to help us so we get little support. I love what I do but yeah I get why there’s a shortage. Btw the list is actually longer that that.
teaching is the easiest curriculum of all 4 year degrees. its a part time job with full time benefits. when I was in college the sorority girls who were the biggest partiers were all majoring in primary education.
And I doubt that you work for NASA.
And you get told how to do your job by really really intelligent and bright business majors! I know how to count therefore I command you!
WOOOO! 250k salary without any real formal education. woooo...
Girl, PREACH! I’m a special education teacher at a Title 1 school. Every year I spend about $1,000 of my own money to set up my classroom. Kids don’t bring any school supplies at the start of the year, and I buy Kleenex, hand sanitizer, pencils, etc. on my own just to keep my class going.
Pay them more
They haven't exactly earned it.
What?
@@thepatriarchy8443 how
There isn't enough money in the US to get me to go back to public schools. It's not about money. It's about respect.
1:21 "It's actually possible for somebody who doesn't have a teaching credential but has an interest in being an educator right now to come and try it out." If new potentials come and "try it out", the experience will surely horrify them. Therefore, we ought to focus on teacher retention more than false advertising.
This is truly disgraceful. I'm upset by this and I'm not a parent. This is nuts.
It is very simple. You can get paid more as a clerk than as a teacher and a clerk doesn't require a college degree.
That's me, I work in a warehouse for Meijer, a grocery business compared to Walmart, only it has a better reputation than Walmart does.
Omg you can wear jeans now!!! FREEDOM!!!
This is what happens when us as a nation disrespects ppl who help educate and protect
The starting salary for a teacher in Chicago is in the low 40k's, depending on which web site you trust. That is what an accounts payable clerk in Chicago makes. If salary is a measure of a person's contribution to society, then starting teachers are considered as valuable, and making a contribution equivalent with, an average accounts receivable clerk.
This is a great comment that puts it into perspective. Clearly what teachers do is not valued much and it will be only a matter of time before things completely unravel.
This is so sad, particularly for Chicago where the best Colleges of education are located. Chicago is a leader in teacher education.
I started off at $48k at a charter school with no license. All my friends started of over $50k... I don't think you know what you are talking about or you are looking at pre-k
The public school System is severely under funded
Homeschooling is best.
Which subjects ?
Who wants to deal with the woke kids and Karen Parents?
I have 2 masters degrees and have to work 2 jobs in Florida. It’s not a living wage. I worry every week how to feed my adult sons with autism. I’m a special Ed teacher. Why can’t they pay us more for our level of education?
No shortage of bad parents
Can we take up a collection for bulletproof vests for teachers and students? Would this lure them back to the schools?
*Who would want to be a baby sitter?*
I have a substitute certificate and I would love to be a teacher but I don’t have a degree yet. Not until 2024.
Interesting this story follows an abortion ban report.... States that want to restrict abortion have the largest teacher shortages....
When you need babysitters but we’re too poor to have children.
Wait. What was the video about?
I wonder what these kids learn 6 hours 5 days a week in a public school while being bombarded with social media and Netflix the other 18 hours per day…
These kids grow-up to be UA-cam comment section keyboard warriors ... who can't spell words correctly, capitalize, punctuate, or use proper grammar.
You spend 12 years educating them, and "dey stil prefer to speek dat ebonics slang".
You think they would have used money to give teachers a raise but instead they forgive student loans.
They're doing this mess to themselves. Once a person graduates from College they should be allowed to teach and do staff development training like they do on a regular basis anyway teaching new styles and ways to teach. Teachers have to take 5+ tests almost everytime you turn around to be certified in this or that paying $100s of dollars to do so. There were teachers back in the day who graduated from college, took 1 or 2 teacher exams and that was it. It wasn't constant testing and testing. It's all about money and making alot of money off of those tests and it's hindering the kids and the teachers and Education period.
Lowering the standards is not the way to go. If anyone can just go into a classroom and teach, than it goes back to the purpose of what are children going to school for? I would think to get a quality education, but if standards are not upheld than we are really just babysitting kids. These kids are going to come out illiterate which affects the future of the country and the workforce. A lesson that typically takes one class period to teach 3 yrs ago is nowadays taking 5 days to teach the same lesson. If we lowering anymore, it may take 10 days to teach the same lesson. It’s really ridiculous. Seriously, we are ruining a nation.
You want to be a pilot get on the 747 and try it out ...smh
Give these teachers a raise
I still can’t find work. I am credentialed.
I wonder why? (Sarcasm) 😂 the disrespect came during COVID..all the parents stating we were lazy amongst other things
Teachers, The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I like to see the glass half full. This generation of kids could probably come out as new aspiring teachers because of their own experience with the lack of education; however, the flip side is there could be a situation where not a single soul wants to be a teacher, and all teachers will be outsourced to different countries.
Give them bonuses
Just way to many expectations
The school model we use is too old and outdated for an economy that is dying.
I'm a teacher...PLEASE GET RID OF EUREKA MATH!
Please enlighten us on what Eureka Math is, and why you dislike it.
I was reading the other day teachers in all states are quitting at a high rate not sure if it is true or not but the wanting to close & shutdown libraries is very sad as well I was watching this go in a state in the south I lived in for some yrs
It'll be over before you know it.
How can I get into teaching? In school it was never my focus. But now I’m in a place where it would be good to help
Most states will either take you as is, provided you pass a background check with the goal/promise of you finishing a few courses over a few summers to get that license, or offer a graduate route to teaching where you get a masters in something like educational psychology and a license at the same time.
Why don't you try substitute teaching first to see if you like it instead of going all in because it may or may not be for you.
@@miaflowers3572 that sounds good! That is what I will ask about
You could do what many of us did and get specialized degrees in teaching… or, you could just have a pulse now, apparently.
@@paigeherrin29 I understand your frustration. Hopefully it’s at least people that truly want to help for the most part. And that’s all I want to do. I have a well paying job, I’ve been there 10 years. but it’s unfulfilling, I’m not helping anyone and it has me down. I have an opportunity right now on some down time to maybe look elsewhere, and saw the teaching shortage on the news and thought that might be something to look into. I meant no trouble sorry
Dear school boards and administrators, stop backing the bad students/parents and back the teachers instead. Students like to play the victim card. You know this. You were once teachers. You were once students. You saw how the kids behaved. Seriously, how often did you see abusive teachers? No, not strict teachers. Not teachers that enforced the rules. Not teachers that disciplined students who misbehaved. Not teachers that failed students who neglected their work? I mean teachers that were rude and harassed students? Rarely. Now, how often did you see students b**ch because the teacher asked them to stop being disruptive? How often did you see students claim they were being disrespected simply for being asked to follow the rules? How often did you see students misbehave? How often did you see students start arguments for the sake of getting attention? How often did you catch students lying? How often did you see students ditch class? How often did you see students try to guilt you so they could continue with their bad behavior? You saw this daily from many students. Stop pretending that the teachers are the evil ones while the students are poor innocent victims. Also, you can tell the difference between a good student making a legitimate complaint and a bad student making a bulls**t complaint.
I would like to see more parents take responsibility for their children. Even in suburban households, parents are too self-absorbed. They are far too preoccupied with their careers to genuinely connect with their kids, set expectations, and instill values. I worked in education for many years at different elementary schools. I saw the result of parental neglect. The neglect shows up in student behavior and low academic achievement. Today's students don't seem to value education and they lack sufficient parental guidance. Those who become first-year, first-generation college students either end up dropping out of college or graduate with no idea about how to navigate the world of work, earn marketable skills, and compete for a job. This is especially true for students of color, who seem to always be candidates for programs serving neglected and underserved students. Why? Why do all other parents seem to have a clue about how to raise their children properly?
If you have children, then it's not just your responsibility to provide a home, clothes, and food on the table. Despite what some people in your community might be telling you, those are just basic, minimum requirements. As parents, you are also responsible for raising your children to become productive, working, contributing members of society. This level of parenting requires that you make the time to have a relationship with your kids, help them to discover their natural gifts and talents, then put them in contact with professionals in a variety of industries who can help them achieve and become high earners.
Someone needs to start holding parents accountable for not doing their job as parents. At present, there is no accountability. Students are now regularly terrorizing schools, other students, and teachers, just to have schools shut down. It is now more than ever important for people to become better parents and give kids higher-quality parenting. If you don't want to get pregnant AND raise kids too, then you must consistently use birth control or abstain until you are ready to grow up, settle down with someone, and take parenting seriously.
Time to “try it out”? With our kids as the Guinea pigs? No way!!! America needs to make the changes necessary to keep the highly educated, certified and qualified teachers we already have!The teacher shortage will never be resolved until that happens.
Who needs qualified teachers!! Just pick some random dude on the street, problem solved!!!
I know right
Up y
there is always a teacher shortage
BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! GO WOKE..... GO BROKE!!!!....THATS WHAT YOU GET!!!!!...🤣😂🤣😂
Simple solution: Homeschooling. The most common argument that there isn't the same social interaction as schools have is provably irrelevant. At any rate, we need to rethink how we do education in the U.S. from a ground-up perspective. This is as good a time as any to do that. Here's a better and complete revamp of the education system: Teachers should teach parents and provide teaching support to parents! Parents should do the actual teaching to their children. That's better for everyone involved and the parents are directly involved in their own child's education. Administered tests should simply reveal areas where the child is weak and allow for any remedial training to happen. And we should move toward a model where some curriculum is required (reading, writing, basic math) so they are a functioning human being that can participate intelligently in society but the child and parents pick specialized coursework that fits the child instead of having everyone be a cookie cutter robot. Completing prerequisite coursework grants access to other courses and they can move freely at the pace that works best for them.
Not a simple solution. Homeschooling requires someone to be at home to supervise and teach to the children. Most households need two parents to work full time to make enough money to support the family. Not all jobs can be done remotely, especially low income parents who work in the fast food industry and such. Parents also need to be qualified to teach to the state standards.
How can homeschooling work when both parents are working? It might be okay on the elementary level. But not in high school where students are taking advanced science and math classes.
And many choose a vocational program, say in Auto mechanics. Or culinary. Or carpentry. Or computers.
No. Because most parents both work and are VERY absent from their children's lives these days
@@onespeedlite Actually homeschooling is practical in a lot of situations. 43% of woman do not work outside of the house and online courses that support homeschooling is very advanced compared to 20 years ago. And that these courses are up to "state standards" (in my opinion state standards are joke) but when you look at education in the US compared to a lot of countries. America is fall behind in a rapid pace. And that is with "State Standards"

Considering our nation's abysmal test scores, maybe kids today would do better studying on their own. Just a thought.
