Is anyone else seeing the issue with the 7th grade kids reading at the 4th grade level? What could have happened in a 3 year period that would have interrupted so much? Dont mention the global pandemic.....that 3 year period is totally coincidental.....
@@arbhall7572.. why are you still bringing up the part where teachers abused children for 3 years, that was a year ago, how dare you judge these teachers by their actions..
well all gen z and alpha are doing is showing that despite being raised by "open minded" people they've become even more dangerous aspects of an otherwise peaceful and violence free environment catered towards academic achievement meaning not having to have the waiter/waitress go over the menu with you and how much the food will cost exactly pulling out their wallets and having the person serving them sort out how much the gen z/alpha person will have to spend, like when you explain the value of money to a child but an entire generation that's on it's way to being adults who can't do jack shit will throw hands with their bosses because they were bossed around by their boss, just tuly showing how dumb they really are and then they'll wonder why they don't qualify for any form of government aid having contributed nothing to society and so therefore not deserving of aid being a violent knuckle dragging neanderthalic couch surfer that only whinges about shit instead of being a normal ass adult
yes certainly, but i want to add something on too, you may or may not agree with me, but it is not gen alpha who people think is "horrible and cringe" but they are simply just the consumers who take the bait on the fishing pole. its the millennials and gen z who rot their brains putting stuff online for them to see. gen alpha did not ruin society, society ruined gen alpha
I've heard a lot of parents expressing that they're worried about punishing their kids because of the perceived "abuse". Its like they just gave up with any kind of punishment for their actions due to being afraid people would think they're bad parents. Bur there's no real "this is the right way" solution out there.
@@NorthonBrucedepends on the age of the student. In their teens, kids know multiple right from wrong issues despite parents. A 16yr old knows it’s not ok to put their hands on other students even if mom and dad didn’t say so.
I'm a teacher and I have seen a lot. But my oldest daughter has had the worst. She was put in a hospital in middle school by a bully. The admin had the bully make a "Get Well Soon" card...for a punishment. Huh??!!! For hospitalization? For a morphine drip? So I called the school district's police department. The bully was removed in handcuffs. School's response to me: "What have you done? That poor kid (the bully) has been through so much. It was so embarrassing to be removed like that" Not my child who left school in an ambulance. She was put back together by an orthopedic surgeon? Admin only reached out to our family after the bully was arrested 😳 It's beyond outrageous what happens in many schools. Good admin is everything!
It legitimately shocks me how little schools do about bullying worldwide. I feel like I lucked out because I _was_ protected from bullies by teacher and staff/the principal.
I'm so sorry your daughter experienced this. It's ridiculous how bullying is managed these days. At my son's school after the bully is told to apologize they then force the victim to say they accept the apology. That's ridiculous. And of course the punishment never seems to be more than a slap on the wrist if there is any punishment at all. And I think it's because of difficult parents who get up in arms about others disciplining their children. And of course administrators don't want to deal with the consequences of the parent's responses to outsiders disciplining their children.
Almost the same thing happened to me, I got punched in the back of the head and wasn't even taken to be looked at for a possible concussion (I have medical complications, so this was breaking code and possibly the law) and the only response I got for the bully's "reasoning" is because I looked like her mother who she had issues with.
Several years ago, I worked as juvenile corrections officer. I once asked one of the teachers why they chose to teach in a jail instead of public schools. Her response? "They want to be in class. It's a chance to get out of their unit. But If they do act up in my classroom here, y'all come get them. In public schools, that doesn't happen. I'm forced to teach through the disruption." My face 😮
It used to be the case a few decades ago they WOULD come and get them and throw them in juvie as they should have. But of course as is the case with most of the issues of this world, social justice had to come around and fuck it up for everyone. Millennials were the first generation to be gripped by and indoctrinated by social justice with multiple organizations listing that generation along with Z and Alpha as the drivers of the social justice movement. While in College, Millennials were fed the lies for critical race theory and intersectionality and started applying those theories into their workplace including teaching. Millennials graduated college around 2000 and organizations like Inner City Education (2003), Inner City Youth Charitable Foundation (2000), the Youth Impact Program (2003), etc. all popped up on or around them entering the work force. Let's be real, no one was talking about "Inner City Youth" prior to 1995 at best. So they come up with all of these programs and organizations to receive donations on behalf of inner-city youths while teaching those same youths that everything is racist and white people are evil and they will never amount to anything because of systemic racism. Any time a black millennial or younger actually behaves in a manner conductive to success like studying, getting good grades, developing an independent philosophy and political opinion, every time a black person escapes the clutches of degradation and destitution is labeled "Acting white". Millennial parents also reinforced these attitudes by refusing to give their children neutral names like Mary or John and instead created "black" names like LaQuesha or Treyvon, to make sure their racial identity could never be hidden or obscured so their children could be judged for their character and not their skin. Within a few years you have teachers bemoaning the "School to prison industrial complex pipeline" as if black kids magically ended up in Juvie and were just being snatched up at every opportunity to keep the classroom as white as legally possible. 10-15 years later these idiot social justice warriors moved on from "helping the inner-city youths" in the classroom after getting their accolades and little medals and trophies to working administration. THOSE SOCIAL JUSTICE MORONS are are unsupportive administration these poor teachers are up against. If Jeriqayvon gets 215 referrals he'll be sent to Juvie which is "perpetuating the systematically racist school to prison pipeline" so they start deleting referrals for black students. Then the white special ed students. Then the trans students. Until these social justice birdbrains realize they might never not what intersectional group a student fits into that could get them labeled every ism and ist under the sun. So now no students can be removed from the school. What are they? Bigoted racist sexist transphobic monsters sending queer black youths to the slaughter?! Not them! All because a bunch of anti-white racists called racism when there was none. It's not racist to send disruptive violent black students to Juvie for anti-social behavior. They aren't being sent there because they are black, it's because they can't behave. In the end, if we can remove these anti-white racist bigoted administrators from these positions and strip the DEI initiatives out, teachers would have support because they would be allowed to issue rewards and punishments based on MERIT. BEHAVIOR. Instead of what oppressed group the student is in and what political block the school might offend. That's how Juvie actually works! The bad inmates are given punishments, consequences, put away as to not harm others. Good inmates are rewarded, given certain privileges and access based on their MERIT of their GOOD BEHAVIOR. It's almost like people, regardless of skin tone, respond to rewards and punishments!! It's sad but so ironic that the least racist system built into an organization is what these idiots want to destroy the most. They don't want these youths to succeed. They don't want them to be educated or informed, they don't want them earning privilege and access in society. They want them stupid, oppressed and angry so they can syphon money from bleeding heart rich liberals until they can peacefully retire. That's exactly what all of the organizations are about. If they weren't about causing hate, division, misinformation, and stupidity, they would never racialize their organization. They wouldn't have DEI initiatives. They wouldn't coddle certain students and ignore the safety and security of everyone else. It would all be based on merit and the ability of these kids to help themselves and accept help from others. It was doing what's best for the child regardless of how anyone else felt like making sure the parents followed up with the efforts to help these kids. But no, the kids do their little crafts at the cultural center and then go home where Mommy is listening to pound town while getting railed by her drug dealer and another gang related shooting is popping off outside his window. The drug dealer is of course daddy's associate and promised to "take care" of the family while daddies in jail working the state provided lawyer to get bonded out before the weekend. When little Mikey tries to get good grades he gets told he acts white so he either turns to drugs and rapping, hoping to make it like Lil Nas so he could be successful one day and be himself instead of this ratchet stereotype just to survive, or he pushes through to be successful "acting white" only be called a coon and a race traitor while moving into his nice new gentrified apartment while BLM screams out his window he's an oppressor and a racist. How many black lives did I describe? Too many. That's the problem. Black people can and are far more those two sad stories. Black people can be anything, everything. Black people are people and don't need someone to shouting racist here there and everywhere to succeed. Social justice ruins everything it touches. And what we see here is just more proof in the pudding that social justice fails. Every. Single. Time.
I recently saw an ad looking to hire teachers for the DOC. They raised the salary and now it pays better than I make in my current job. I've considered it because there is actual backup when kids act up.
@@hodgesjakeNo! No! It's how attention seeking fuck ups make it work. Because they don't want to record their own faults. And it's not "interesting".a teacher walks out of your class and quits That's sad. Do better.
I was assaulted by 18 year old student. His consequence was 2 day suspension. I pressed charges. My administration didn’t support me. That’s what pushed me to retire at the end of this year.
I am so sorry that happened to you. I walked out of the profession a few years ago in the middle of the school year. I don't understand why that kind of behavior is tolerated in schools when it would never be okay out in the "real" world. The other teachers that I worked with used to say that if you got punched by some random kid outside of a school, you would have every right to fight back, but for some reason, when you're a teacher and it's your student, you're expected to just take it and nobody knows why 🤷♀️
@@SkinnyPigDesignsI am a mental health therapist who had many teachers as clients and heard the challenges and horror stories. All the helping professions are collapsing and broken. I dealt with the same lack of accountability from student's parents and lack of support from management too. It's a nightmare. It's so broken and running the best teachers, counselors, and nurses out of these fields💔
@@Punkyyyyy Yep. I don't disagree with pundits like Amir, in that I(And I'm sure most folks)also believe that life's a lot simpler, when we all make an effort to act like reasonable human beings, rather than fucking monkeys who are strung out on meth. I also have to question the wisdom of thinking that it's possible to create a utopia, where things aren't a problem to some degree
I blame the parents, not saying "NO" to their kid, giving them everything they want, not talking to them about right and wrong. I could go on for days.
I also feel like some of the kids' friends have something to do. I was raised right but in middle school. My "friends" would start pressuring me to do bad things that my guardians never knew about.
its the millenial moms shoving a camera on their babies 24/7 and showing off their kids or not even doing that and just letting them do whatever while they still party like they have no responsibilities.
Both can be true. I’ve definitely seen parents that never say “no” to their children and having no consistency with right and wrong (much of the time laziness and a lot of the time they’re being hypocritical about right and wrong” And I’ve also seen year after year parents are paying less and less attention to the social media their children consume. And let’s not forget, there are those parents that try to “protect” their children like a little angel and get mad at anybody who yells at them, doesn’t give them special treatment, and telling their kid they aren’t as good, or pretty, or smart, or funny, etc. as they think they are. They get mad when people are honest and tell them or their kid the truth they they aren’t the best at everything. Kids need to learn that they need to work harder and sometimes that not enough, they can’t always get everything they want.
I’m a mom of three. I’ve spoken to tons of kids and one thing I’ve noticed is that they aren’t listened to very often. I’ve had kids chase me down at the school and sat down with me and said they can’t talk to their parents about stuff. I listen to them and I look them in the eyes and let them talk as long as they want. Sumtimes it’s a few minutes or longer. But they are definitely not getting this attention at home.
I bet this could really save a young kid from going down this path. I'm worried that older kids will need a lot more than a listening ear if they don't want to live the life this behavior will earn them.
Wouldn't it be helpful if teachers sent letters home to the parents of the students trying to learn? They should be alerted to the fact that the school administration is allowing a disruptive child to ruin their child's education journey. If there was any facility issue in the room or supplies issue for the class, letters would be sent home to the parents to alert them. Why not this? Frankly, if a teacher is going to quit anyway, why not snitch on the school system to the parents?
My dad taught in Baltimore City. One day he stopped a girl from stabbing another kid, and the parents of the kid doing the stabbing threatened to sue him. That was his last day of teaching.
He should’ve let them TRY to sue him, Imagine the shock and laughter the Judge will have when they hear the situation. “This is a joke right? There is no way I’m getting payed for this” 😂
One of my in-law is a teacher and she sums up the issue as "the teachers are afraid of the parents, the parents are afraid of the kids and the kids aren't afraid of anybody".
From my pov, as an autistic dropout who couldn't finish senior year due to the entire environment: 1. Kids are too desensitized from the internet, they think abhorrent behavior is normal irl 2. The parents aren't parenting, and if they are, they're doing it all wrong..clearly 3. Teachers are underpaid, admin doesn't wanna work, kids are already mistreated in school and see no reason to behave 4. Forced passing. I probably shouldn't have even made it to senior year, but the schools wanna look good to the public so they pass most of the kids if not all.. meaning those kids never truly got an education and they're being forced to learn harder things afterwards 5. The system in general is broken. No, that student isn't gonna get 3 full assignments done for their classes in one night, they also aren't going to remember every bit of information when it's all crammed in at once. Test on the ability to apply knowledge, stop testing memory skills. 6. In America, it feels SO hard to get adequate help with disabilities, especially pre diagnosis (which is expensive). If you're "not disabled enough" for special ed, they won't even consider it and try "helping" with the most minimal accomodations. If you ARE in special ed, you get mistreated by students and teachers.. not to mention how little the special ed students are actually taught about social cues. Unfortunately having special ed kids in with non disabled classes tends to become a disruption if they aren't taught how to.. not disrupt. We need an entire reform of public schools, yet we can't afford the time to shut them down.
i agree with you very hard, my brother has asperger’s syndrome and literally had to be pulled from school because children would bully, take his snacks, clothes, his shoes, grab his genitals, mistreated by teachers, literally everything and it makes me so so sick, especially in small towns the schools are absolutely terrible and disgusting. literally they have sex offenders at said school because they do not do back ground checks
And the government wants to gut education funding even more. Education is one of the most common funds to be taken from the funnel into some other dumb bullshit war machine.
@@chikencrumb I was diagnosed with Asperger's back in the early 90s, I am 43 now. I also experience severe bullying and trauma throughout school, including many of the terrible things you mentioned. School administrators did nothing and told me to just ignore it even though it was literally happening to me 24/7 for three years!!! It was not until school of choice that I was able to leave that district and my mom moved me to a charter school, which was also crappy but I wasn't being severely bullied all day long. I hope you can find a way to move him or homeschool, its not worth it for him to be in that environment. As a gifted/special ed student had I been in a caring and inclusive environment, I know I would have blossomed and actually done well in school, I almost failed out just based on my trauma, and ended up with some bad crowds and doing bad things because of how traumatized I was. I ended up in abusive relationships and homeless, and then eventually got onto SSI and went to college and started putting my life together.
I'm current an OT in the schools and it can be bad. The Sped students that are bullies are never punished because of their IEPs, teachers quit in droves to the point where we have long term subs with no training on how to deal with their behavior step in, and admin just either sticks their head in the sand or shoves teachers under the bus to appease the sue happy parents. The stories I could tell. And then there's me just doing my best to give strategies to the teachers and try to help these kids regulate and transition before I can even work on handwriting. Honestly if it's not improved by middle school I drop it and go assistive tech because it's more practical and applicable to them. I don't have much power and it sucks. You're 100% right. I also don't enjoy the least restrictive environment policy, especially when it's clear they're failing. It's the "let them fail for 6 weeks while we take data and twiddle our thumbs and then maybe if we feel like it we'll do something" that doesn't sit with me. It's discouraging to the teachers and the students. It's not fair.
Former teacher here! I literally had to teach children manners. I had to make sure they were held accountable. I had to work my ass off to catch them up to their reading levels. My class was one of the most polite in the school. However, I ended up not leaving due to the students. I left because the administration did nothing to help students or teachers. There was no support. We were overworked and underpaid and barely appreciated. I didn't leave because of them. I still miss my students. But let me make it clear; I had to step up when the parents so obviously didn't step in.
That's what teachers have always done. Every generation has problem kids and I hate this narrative all kids are bad now. Have the kids in these classrooms would have been in fear then the teacher ran away. It's pretty upsetting to see honestly. The problem is that the child needs to be removed. Meanwhile my daughter is being bullied and they tell her to stay away from people who are hitting her and there are no consequences yet I mention homeschooling and they say she is in the best place for her. Yeah I don't think so...
A teachers paycheck doesn't even pay that much SMH. It's probably more for the power trip than anything. I had teachers publically humilate me @@ADanZLife
@@ADanZLife"just collecting a paycheck" i used to be just as close minded as you until i did some research and found out most teachers in most countries are paid the bare minimum for the amount of responsibilities they are expected to fulfil
@@ADanZLifeYou sound foolish. If teachers wanted money they would’ve chosen a higher paying career. The teaching profession is the most gaslighted job in the world. Teachers are often made into the scapegoat by incompetent parents, admins, and students. Teachers did NOT raise these kids. The sole responsibility goes to the parents. Don’t have kids if you’re clueless about parenting.
Thats what I'm seeing a lot of too. I havent seen a lot of parents be like "ouhh i dont want to abuse my kids thats why I don't discipline them" and more "I can't even be arsed to look after my children so I set them in front of the iPad to shut them up." Parents today have gotten lazy, not sensitive. I was raised much differently as a genZ, having been born into a military family, so discipline and learning were at the forefront of my parents' mindsets. Sometimes I think it worked *too* well because now I have pretty bad anxiety about not being perfect, but thats likely due to childhood trauma (mom wasn't that great of a person, but dad's fine) and some personal flaws on my end.
Do your best, seek support from a teacher who truly supports you, and try to disregard those who are not fully engaged during class. Despite their choices, keep giving your best effort. As a music teacher, I want to reassure you that you will be okay and will succeed in obtaining your diploma. Keep doing your best!
I'm so upset they didn't let me pass the 2 years I missed during the pandemic when it went online schooling I completely went silent I couldn't participate so now I'm held back I should have graduated 2 years ago
@@CassidyTakanauf yea it sucks because now I'm stuck with Gen alpha freshman until I graduate this June this will be hell with the cellphone ban I hope we don't lose the good teachers at least before im gone
As a Gen Z student, the kids in my grade, specifically the boys and some girls, are very disrespectful. We had our trip to Orlando cancelled because kids got angry that everyone voted for one park over another leading for one kid to tell the teacher to off themselves. They also started numerous terrible rumors about our best reading teacher leading her to quit. It infuriates me that people my age act this way.
i too, am i gen z student and ive also seen the kind of behaviour you're talking about. Im 15, most students in my class or year group are older than me yet they behave like six year olds. our year was the year that banned phones in class, vandalised bathrooms, wrote disgusting things about a teacher and spread rumours about them that weren't true which caused them to quit, keep disrespecting all the teachers after being told simple instructions and have creepy, stalkerish behavour towards their crushes and act like their crushes not reciprocating are the crushes' fault, getting high, faking disorders for attention, making being queer their entire identity, talking about politics and causing division and not being able to write, spell or even speak properly. not to mention bullying the normal students who behave and do nothing wrong. theres more and its only getting worse.
I'm older Gen Z, I was a freshman in college in 2019. Sadly those kids still exist in college. My intro to Earth Science class went to Mount St. Helen's for the weekend. We were supposed to visit the memorial museum and then go camping. One of the "problem" kids trashed an exhibit in the museum, honoring the geologists who passed away during the volcanoes eruption. Our class got asked to leave and never come back.
What no one mentions is that there are kids that want to learn in these classes but can’t. When teachers constantly have to fight kids, the classroom turns to chaos. No learning gets done and society will pay the price very soon.
Exactly! My son is extremely well behaved, shy and sticks to himself. He got attacked by a girl (?!) for no reason. He was sitting at his desk doing his work and this little chick randomly attacked him. And guess what happened… this same girl got an award for her great performance at the end of the year… second graders… I wish the future husband/wife of this girl a lot of luck.
Exactly. Literally all the good people suffer in systems like this. I feel horrible for the kids who want to do well and get hurt or abused by all the entitled kids.
I'm lucky I went to a junior high school where students took a test when they came in, and they placed them in a homeroom with students that performed similarly. We took all our classes with the students in our homeroom. You could tell which homerooms were which. I was in the nerdiest one (a few students went on to Ivy League universities). The worst homerooms were in the basement. I remember my homeroom took an Algebra class in 7th grade while some others were taking Math. It was a magnet school that was in a rough neighborhood. Most of the low-performing students were neighborhood kids.
Thanks you. As someone who takes their education seriously, those disrespectful children piss me off. During instructional time some kids would always talk over when the teacher was talking. During work time I was okay with goofing off because they weren’t affecting me. They want to fail, they can. But when I was trying to learn and listen to the teacher, I hated it.
This is my favorite teacher quitting story I ever heard (I wasn't there, I'm 38, this is coming from my wife's step-cousin who is 14)- Teacher quit, stormed out, just like you saw in this video, and the kids were laughing; this is what the teacher said- "I have been teaching for a long time, and I don't remember the names or faces of most of the kids I taught. But you know who I remember? My teachers. I remember my teachers. And you'll remember me, and you'll remember this day. For now, and the near future, you'll laugh at me and remember this day as the day you made your dorky teacher quit. But, when I have long forgotten your names and your faces, and you're flipping burgers and digging ditches, you'll remember my name and remember this day. When you're struggling to pay your bills, can't afford rent, can't buy a house, watching your college graduate friends start families and get raises, you'll remember my name and you'll remember this day. When I'm dead and gone, and you're in your 40's and 50's, slowly realizing you'll never retire, never have money, and maybe by then forget my name, you'll remember the day that dorky teacher stormed out of the classroom and quit, called you all losers, and was right about it". ....brooooooooooooooo
As a university instructor for a number of years, I probably taught the parents of those currently in public school now. Let me tell you, I have seen this coming for a long, long time. I taught ethics. *Many* years ago, far before the pandemic, I started seeing a significant drop in empathy and care among my own students. It resonates so much to hear that these kids are getting "meaner"-- so were my supposed adults, the ones now raising these little darlings. I cannot even imagine being in a public school environment today. These kids are being raised by wolves. How does anyone learn anything at all?
When I was in school, it was embarrassing if you were rude to a teacher. People looked down on you. There were a couple kids who got kicked out of class but nothing like this. I think we need to bring back shame and embarrassment.
Our society definitely lacks shame, with basically everything. It’s disturbing. I know I was constantly terrified to do anything wrong at the risk of being humiliated, but now I guess it’s cool to be piece of crap? I don’t even know anymore.
I worked in a high school for 3 years and other schools before that. But I agree. We need to bring shame back. They have absolutely no shame. They’ve proud of being ignorant, disrespectful, etc.
I'm a Gen Z and still agree we need public shaming. Apparently schools nowadays don't even write names on the board or have clip charts anymore. I was a good kid usually, so when I moved down on the clip chart or wrote my name on a board, it was embarrassing and taught me very well to behave better in the future.
I'm gen alpha. I'm 13. I'm turning 14 this summer, and I hate it. I've experienced it all, everything stated here. Disrespect and violence. My parents raised me right, thankfully, and I know basic manners and decency. I love my teachers, so so much. They're the nicest people I've ever met in real life, they're amazing. Yet, they have to raise their voice or get mad because of the kids who don't understand these basic human decency and think it's okay to do whatever they'd like. I'm really tempted to make a bunch of cards for my teachers; just to remind them how much I enjoy their classes, and how much they're respected by me. They put up with enough.
May I make a recommendation? Just a simple “thank you for teaching me.” Everyday goes a LONG way. I made a teacher cry telling her that the first time, and I’m older Gen Z. Started to see this stuff as it was beginning to get worse. Your gratitude towards them would be like giving a dehydrated man in the desert water
This it has to be a balance know your rights but also know respect I barely know most of my rights as a 21 year old maybe if schools taught more important stuff like taxes and have mandatory human rights class it would be different. They took our home ed from being important the one class I learned how to do things out of school in the “real world”
I also want to clarify in no way do I think students are right in what their doing it’s ridiculous that bus drivers and teachers also have to parent on top of teaching them.
this has definitely been getting bad for a while. my mom was a teacher back in 2008 and a student assaulted her. the school and the district did absolutely nothing and were actually opposed to taking action against the student. it's only gotten worse and now those same kids are raising the next generation.
The worst part is that those kids laughing about teachers leaving don’t realize how powerless they’re going to be if public education goes away. A population of uneducated citizenry is that much easier to rule and control. These kids are digging their own graves and are too ignorant to realize it.
GED > Trade > Profit High school was a waste of time. Interestingly enough, most of my peers who went to uni became the easier to rule and control through indoctrination. Having their opinions suppressed because they never fit the narrative and then bullied into submission. Just because you're uneducated doesn't mean you're stupid.
High school librarian here. A student punched me in the eye because he didn't want to go get a worksheet from a teacher who was expecting him. I didn't yell, etc. He attacked me, then attacked a counselor, then the safety team, and finally, a police officer.
I feel like the only gen. Alpha with kindness! It hurts even more when I remember having a very nice librarian who was extremely kind and I miss her to this day because she even called me out of class to meet her son and she was so polite and kind and her son reflected that.
We had a teacher in culinary school. Imagine a big fat middle aged russian looking dude with a tempter of a coked up bear. He was all about joking and having fun. But when you stepped up to him in any way. Oooooffff good luck man. The story goes he loves throwing keys at people (a big bundle of keys). And one day I had culinary class he was having Server's class in the other room. And you could hear yelling and cussing and the keys quite possibly hitting their intended target. We all respected him. Everyone loved him tho. Every time he'd walk by us we'd all stand up straight and say "Good day! How are you Mr. *his surname*?" He would smile and talk to us asking how we are doing in school. If you said you were doing poor he'd always encourage you. If you had any struggles with Server's classes he'd always invite you to ask him. One of the nicest teachers out there. But make him mad well good luck mate. I seriously think none these gen z gen alpha guys would survive a class with him. Last time I heard he's still ghetto as always hahaha
My aunt had a misscarriage because of a violent 4th grader who punched her in the stomach while she was heavily pregnant. She had PTSD from later abuse she also went through after that. Kids are attacking her. 💔
WHAT!? I just saw another similar comment with another teacher who was pregnant with her child, and she successfully bailed. There is no way that child was NOT punished for that! If so, we really have a problem here.
Reminds me of a scene from Old Dads, where a boy punched a pregnant woman in the stomach, only the pregnant woman was portrayed as "being in the wrong", because she accused the mother of the boy of not parenting her child (basically the other mom was neglectful and let him do whatever he wanted, so he had behavioral issues). The worst part is that the pregnant woman (aka the victim) actually *apologized* to the evil mother later on in the movie, because she "told her what to do as a parent" and was "out of line". It was horrible.
@@leon4000 People love to dunk on the argument against violent video games, but seriously, as a parent of three and a gamer since childhood, _NO MORE FORTNITE AND CALL OF DUTY FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS._ Seriously. I _guarantee you,_ every single one of these womb-punching monsters learned their sociopathy from shooting a thousand random people on the internet at home. You shoot a guy, he ragdolls to the ground, you pick up his guns and money and look for the next guy. Endless loop of "just mindless fun." ffs, it utterly disrupts and destroys a kid's formation of an inner sense of the value of life.
@@SomeUA-camTraveler That happens because some parents does not step in to stop children from playing games usually meant for adults. As someone who is a gamer, even I could tell with my autism, that young kids were not supposed to play them until they were old enough and mature. The issue is due to people being too lenient on their kids around these M-rated games, thinking it wouldn't be a problem, which caused this issue. The news media never really points out that lazy parenting is a factor and other kids who were in the know of mature games gives the youth an easy access to mature games which starts with word of mouth and said kid interested goes out to get the game somehow, which if left unchecked, would leave many kids exposed to mature content before they could comprehend what they really have and wonder if they are ready to play it. I can recall many times I pointed out to some parents about getting their young child those games they are not yet ready for, but often was ignored. One time, I was forced to give a controller to a young baby who was still too young to know how to use a video game controller. Thankfully it was Bomberman, but that "thing" that parents do, is that kind of leniency beyond reason and common sense that ultimately bit them in the rear when a combination of being exposed to content only a mature person can tell apart and not being there for their young child enough or other flawed ideas or beliefs that children began to assume, allowed the children to become unruly and entitled to think the world owes them something.
I'm a child of immigrant Indian parents. They've never hidden the struggle they went through as a child/young adult to get the good jobs they have now. They made it clear to me they wouldn't take disrespect or let me disrespect anyone. I've always been preforming at levels much higher than mine, I'm taking Honors Math 3 in eight grade, i'm in Honors English 9. But in my grade level classes, it always baffled me how much my fellow peers would get confused on simple things. I started studying for tests when i didn't get the material in 7th grade. It confused me why other people weren't studying as well, yet still complained about how low their grades were. They treated school like a game, i treated school as a job.
Last week, for the first time, I was emotionally hurt by one of my students. I teach third grade. Two students wrote "incident reports" to the vice principal, accusing me of all kinds of made-up crimes, such as taking a nap in class, refusing to let kids use the bathroom, and drawing all day instead teaching anything. Today I had students laughing at me, making jokes at my expense. That's something I expect of 7th or 8th grade. It took all of my effort to keep my cool. In past years, I have come close to walking straight out of school and letting Admin finally deal with the mess. This year I've discovered that a rookie truck driver makes more me. It's time to trade 18 years of teaching experience for 18 wheels.
There are many teachers changing over to truck driving and It careers opposed to tolerating all the disrespect. Best of luck to you!! I ama counselor and I feel the same over how we aren't valued, disrespected, and underpaid.
Maybe teachers need body cams like police have. Then students can't falsely accuse teachers of wrongdoing or incompetence. I think teacher body cams are going to become a necessity in American public schools, like metal detectors and school Resource Officers. Then parents will be able to see on video how their precious special darling is behaving towards his/her teacher in class. An idea whose time has come. Peace and love !
@Aj43936 Last year a third grader didn't like the book I was reading out loud. He wanted me to read a different book. So he got his mom to strong-arm me, citing the book was "too scary". The next day, the kid bragged about how much Call of Duty he plays.
Im 16 years old graduating this year and the amount of time my class made my teacher leave the classes crying is CRAZY. And still the next day that same teacher is still teaching my class with a big smile. I feel so bad for the teachers who have to suffer everyday teaching immature kids
A few kids got in a fight in my ceramics class and one of them grabbed one of the sharper tools to try and stab the kid they were fighting. When the teacher tried to stop the kid he tried to stab her instead. She quit and honestly good for her.
“A lot of these parents think that school is just daycare” THAT PART! As a fellow 1995 millennial, I also completely agree that phones should be locked away in those bags at school. It’s too much of a distraction. I’m absolutely speechless at how bad things have gotten in the public school system.
As a current high school student at one of the better public schools in my school district, last year we were ranked the best school in the district, this year Yondr Bags were introduced and even though our school is one of the better ones, students have continuously broken them and I find that they're really ineffective. For students who listen, it works a little to remove distractions, but oftentimes it's still easy to get distracted in my experience even without my phone. The pouches are good in concept, but in execution they're not too effective (at least in my experience) and cost a lot of money just to be bypassed by students and an inconvenience to students who need their phones out for things such as College Classes (sometimes they're given in high school if you apply for them through the CCP program, which stands for College Credit Plus) and those who may need them in the event of an emergency
dude, it's always been that way, I'm the similar age to yours, it's never worse, it's literally never changed, older generations have always thought of the newer generations as horrible and irresponsible since thousands of years, even the phone thing is just a new distraction, but not an overall new challenge
Eyo, I get where you are coming from but I feel like location might be a variable as well on teachers being supported by their schools. I never seen a teacher physically assaulted even once in public school. In the same school, today, its regular that we hear students being physical with the teachers. Not saying you are incorrect though - that does happen too.@@shro_okee
Unfortunately this is 100% true brother. I've been teaching a few years now, and my very first year I broke up a fight and the kid I had separated, who was a freshman at the time, spun around and begin popping me in the face. When I told him its me trying to calm him down, he just kept on going. Busted my lip, and I had a nice shiner for 2 weeks. I took the following day off, came in the next day and there was the kid, sitting in the back of my class pulling the same nonsense that started the fight in the first place with a different kid. He had a one day in-school detention. Had a meeting with the admin team that Friday and I got a reprimand on my record, which my union argued against and got removed, because I "grabbed the kid under his arms in an aggressive manner". Admin didn't even call me the next day to check how I was. My first and only year in that school. Some kids are just little monsters. You can blame their home environment, their upbringing, environmental factors, nurturing factors, or about 10 thousand other things, but it doesn't change the fact they're little monsters who will only get worse as they get older unless they have some serious, one on one, personalized intervention. In effort to "promote inclusion" we've mainstream severe behavioral disorders by sweeping issues like this under the rug because the worst thing that can happen to a kid nowadays is that they "get their feelings hurt" or feel "left out" because they're in a special class away from the regular school population. We're damning a whole generation of kids by thinking that a hug, a juice box, a bag of chips and a smack on the wrist will somehow magically wipe away a lack of impulse control, a lack of boundaries and an inability to control their emotions, language and actions
I'm a retired teacher who worked mostly in alternative education. I taught adult male inmates. I taught kids in mental health facilites and kids who were severely abused. I even taught in a gang-ridden school not too far outside Chicago. None of my students were this ill mannered. That's pathetic. I've seen and put up with a lot (probably more than most), but I would quit too if I had to face this everyday.
A few years ago, I was a counselor in a residential treatment center for kids. I later switched to crisis intervention (meaning - dealing with behavior issues) in a public school, and the kids at the RTC facility (who had been removed from their homes for behavioral and mental health problems) were better behaved than the kids at the public school. I stopped working when I had my first child, and I can't even imagine how bad the public school kids must be now.
I was a student in an alternative 'bad kid' school in 2004 and yes, kids would flip out, get restrained etc.. but the majority of the students were doing their best to remain orderly because THEY KNEW THAT THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES for acting out!!! We had target sheets that would rate our behavior 1 being the worst 4 being the best and if you really f**ked up, you'd be sent to the youth center aka: juvenile hall..😳😳 these days it's basically a free for all... Really sucks for literally everyone, including the kids and they don't even know it..😞😞😞
I was a 5th grade teacher after being a corrections officer for 2 years. One day , I would send someone to the office for punching an Autistic Kid. But the kid was sent back to my classroom with no repercussions. However, I got in trouble and fired from admin, for “not making my lessons engaging and for saying ‘guys’ because it’s not gender neutral. And that was my one month experience as a teacher and last. PS: the inmates were much respectful than these students and if they acted out, there were consequences!
It’s honestly scary to think that an entire generation is growing up and coming into the world without any sense of accountability/punishment/consequence + having every decision and feeling validated
@@willdegra317Excuse me? Femenine? The same femenine energy that have to wait 9 months to give birth? The same femenine energy that nurture her family in sickness but when she fall ill is mostly abandon by her masculine partner? There is nothing weak in being women nor men. That is a culture of egocentric narcisistic entitled people that lacks respect, acountability and is ussed to instant gratification and to little real problems
My high school just decided to hire body builders and powerlifting coaches, they may not have been the most qualified but absolutely no one wanted to test their patience.
This is such a Nagisa or Koro Sensei move here, if you get the reference from Assassination Classroom. I recommend it, it’s a wholesome anime (the title and first episode may be off putting, but please give it a chance! It’s so goodddd
During HS my school keep having to replace the choir teacher because kids where awful during class, but everyone took choir because it was an easy A class. I hear a few years after I graduated, they went through like their third choir teacher in three years. So they hired a teacher that was a prison choir instructor. I guess they stopped having kids treat it like a joke class after that point.
@@briannabunny3446I watched it last year I think. It is a MUST see. I told a lot of people about it. The scenes and ending never left my heart. For real.
As a kid in Year 8, I don’t feel safe in my school, teachers have to constantly deal with troublemakers, intense swearing, sexual jokes and a lack of shame. They view bullying teachers to the point they leave or break as a fun thing and they’ll do it because they think it makes them look cool. Shame and embarrassment does not exist to these kids because they always use tiktok comebacks ‘Oh but it’s my property!! You can’t take it from me!! I’ve tell the cops you’re stealing’ They say while spraying kids who want to learn with water guns and playing Brawl Stars in class, they know more tiktok comebacks than simple sentences that they can read. The only shame they have in school is towards the kids who want to learn, disabled kids and neurodivergent kids. I have been called more slurs than I can count because I am a weird kid to them, I have reported them numerous times yet their parents have done absolutely nothing about it. I’m still getting bullied and their parents won’t even turn their attention to their kids while they celebrate getting a fucking 8/100 in tests
I was a teacher for 16 years, I quit in 2021. There's no way I'd be able to take that level of disrespect and handle it in a way that wouldn't get me fired.
I'm gonna be that annoying guy and say that the current education system is simply too outdated and are no longer suitable for our modern time. This education system is doomed to collapse anyway, but the question is, what will replace it?
@@subliminalfalllenangel2108 school is supposed to teach you basics and life skills. Getting along, following rules, and societal norms. The system isn't outdated. The system is not doing what it was designed to do thanks to modern parenting and teachers not being allowed to discipline so they can teach.
Honestly we should bring back homeschool as a normal way to be educated. I was both homeschooled and attended public school and I learned so much more and much faster at home than I did in a room full of other people talking. Also, think about what is expected of you as a teacher. No one has the time to teach their kids manners or "common sense" because parents expect YOU to do it, which is crazy and unfair right? It's not the teacher's job to raise someone else's kids for them yet you are expected to. This is what our society has come to: their desk job is worth more than educating their own children about how to live in this world. It's very bizarre and I can't recommend public school to anyone.
@@Tailionis and what is your definition of parenting and discipline here anyway? All the knowlegde and wisdom of gen X(the parents) when applied to the modern world is inadequete, and even somewhat redundant/useless. And if the education system really works, then why do we even need discipline in the first place? Would punishing the kids for their wrongdoings be even the correct response or turn them into better people? Surely since we have disciplined children since time immemorial, our modern time should have been brighter than what we have nowadays, correct? So what is with all the doom and gloom that Gen Y and Z and even gen Alpha often complain about? Is it just because they are young/kids and are abunch of ungrateful/lazy bast**d?!
Imagine going to college and choosing a career you want to have for 30-50 years. And then these kids make you wanna give it all up. I feel horrible for these teachers that are quitting.
Honestly, it's just a job...There are maybe a handful that genuinely give a shit about their students. Most become teachers for the holidays/summer break.
Taking a phone from a student today is like making a person quit drugs cold turkey. They are addicted so badly that when they don't have access to a phone they misbehave or shut down.
Oh my gosh, yes! When I was in high school 10+ years ago, I remembered there were these two girls (in my child development class) that were asked to put their phones away. They didn’t listen. Our teacher got fed up, and told the girls to give her their phones. And the two of them had a FIT. There was no need for that. Just let the teacher take your phone, and then you can get it back at the end of class. Why is this so hard for them to comprehend?
Im 29, i was in high school just over 11 years ago and its crazy how much has changed in that time. If you showed up high or were disrespectful, you would get thrown out and either sent home or forced to do your homework in a room alone. If you alone in a room with no one to talk to, no phone either you would get so bored you would do your homework. If you were being disruptive, you getting thrown tf out and sent home with detention. Does detention even exist anymore? We even had kids sent to a special school for kids who were bad if they were really bad. From what i hear, that school was hell and they dont play around at all over there.
detention kinda exists but most of the kids who get it are the people who need more hours because they skip so much. whenever anyone at my high school would do anything even moderately bad and they weren't notoriously known for being bad and then for some reason absolutely pampered for it then you basically got solitary confinement for days. you would SOMETIMES get your work sent to you and you were supposed to sit in a tiny cubicle, awake, for the entire day. they were also supposed to take phones, but i think the coaches that supervised it usually had more empathy than to remove the only thing that could possibly keep you sane in there. i just think it was a really crappy system to discipline kids especially for stuff you could just talk about but instead they'd make sure to shame you in an office for an hour and then stick you in ISS for the better part of a week
I think the adults are doing this too. In society, to one another, increasingly so. The adults do it in the streets, on the busses, in friendships, at work, on the news, in stores - bullying, assault, entitlement, slander, backstabbing, emotional and verbal abuse. As an older gen z, I’ve been noticing this more and more. There’s more cruelty out here. The adults are more cruel and more entitled. People bullying customer service workers and posting it, etc. I left a bad situation with that person revealing to me her frame of mind for the behavior: “we don’t owe anyone anything.” The adults are worse out here, too.
I’m in my early twenties and only have two meaningful relationships besides my MOTHER, because none of us can communicate like adults. None of us can talk without hurting someone, whether that be through gossip or right to our faces. It’s like we don’t know how to love. We’re so depressed and want to make everyone else depressed. The main thing I got bullied for in high school was being too HAPPY. I got socially ostracized by 90% of the school because I laughed and smiled too much, I wish I was kidding. It’s to the point where I just block people after the first red flag. No do overs, no second chances. I’ve started listening when people tell me who they are, and I’d rather be friends with shadows than be friends with snakes.
In he 80',s I worked in a residential school for high school age with multiple disabilities. Behavior that would've gotten an emergency psych visit back then is now seen in Congress on a regular basis. No, you're observations are dead accurate.
That's because of the school system. We have created a system that has kids learn from kids. We used to have kids learn from adults. As a result of this, people are acting less and less mature.
Nah dealing with millennials and older is way more bearable than dealing with Gen Z lmao. Boomers are the only ones that give y’all a run for your money.
Let me tell you how relieved and happy I was to graduate and leave high school. I felt horrible for the teachers. All of them. The students behind my class were absolutely terrible.
No literally it’s my last year and the way that the underclassmans act is crazy.. they have no respect to adults I could go on but I don’t feel like typing 😭
@@Nok112lol same, by junior year I only took AP & dual enrollment bc I wanted to escape the immaturity and I graduated years ago. It’s just getting worse every year it seems.
@@Nok112Unfortunately even the advanced classes have bad students (Idk how). My advanced English class had some really disrespectful and mean kids. My poor 7th grade English teacher actually cried. I don’t know what else was happening in her life (I think I remember hearing that her cat passed away), but I’m sure being laughed at for accidentally having her clip-on microphone on while she went to the bathroom didn’t help. I felt so bad for her. Another teacher came in to scold everyone and the class was silent as a funeral for two days.
I graduated in 2018 and I remember how much of a shitshow my school was. Teachers that were unprofessional, unhelpful, and unfair. Every non-AP class was a literal joke and in the AP classes we didn't have appropriate guidance. Don't even get me started on the other students. I was so happy to leave.
1987 millennial here. I ALMOST got detention one time in 4th grade, and for what? Forgetting to ask my parents to sign my spelling test that I got an "A+" on!! Like...WTF is happening today?!!...
@@tracyannjohnson5724 Lol I think you’re missing my point, which is there’s not even any consequences for not following instructions anymore. Nowadays can even tell the teacher to shove those instructions up their ass, and you still have no consequences.
I'm a Gen Z and I graduated in 2021. I never had an experience where the teacher quit due to bad behavior from the students when I was in Middle School and High School.
In my country, there are cases of PARENTS going to schools to threaten and beat up teachers, just because the teacher told their kid to turn off their phone or just because the teacher called out their kid... Go figure.
At my middle school in 2009 a girls grandpa pulled up on the administrator with a crowbar, broke his arm, and then the girl told us he had a gun in his pocket too smh
@tropicalermine Unbelievable... Remember the good old days, when parents actually used to request/demand teachers to DISCIPLINE their kids? Well, that's how it worked when my grandpa was a kid...
As a teacher, this is all true. Admin are afraid of parents. These kids are being passed, getting 70s with so many absences & not doing a dang thing. We are graduating these kids expecting them to be functional in society which is SCARY
Just goes to show that the school system as well as the parents are both equally useless seemingly. No parents, school system already sucks as it stands now they just let them pass so they don't have to deal with them anymore. The schools don't care. They are going through the motions. Parents don't care. They cannot because both parents are working. Cannot bond with your child when both parents are dying slowly from work and have no energy for their kid or anything else. Parenting only works properly when the mother is home with the children. Dad goes out and makes money and leads the household.
I disagree. Teachers aren't scared of.parents. They are brazen when they speak to you and don't even respond half the time. They know there's a teacher shortage and more than likely won't be fired.
TikTok is the new teacher. A digital teacher that is influence all kids and HS. Got to love social media. Its destroying the very fabric of civilization, we are becoming Mad Max in real time.
the parents need to be held responsible for their childs behavior and attitude, not just in schools, but everywhere, shopping malls, restaurants, everywhere.
I’ve had this idea as well - up until a certain age (I don’t know how we would determine what age) parents are held somewhat accountable for their child’s behaviour. Parents get fines, detentions, etc., etc.
parents held responsible with fines or more until the child is of legal adult age, by then the child should have been taught respect, manners, empathy , how to read, how to act in public, you know, parents doing their job of parenting their child and helping them be ready for life living on their own. and teachers need more powers of control than they have now, what about secure lockers or places where phones have to be put so students do not have them in class.
Gen z-alpha is awful in schools. My little sister is in middle school and she told me they make a game of making subs cry cause it's "funny" and "they can't do anything about it anyways"
Gen-Z is awful? No, every generation has been awful, it's just that the previous generations did this to their fellow students, not the teachers. Funny how it's only enough of a problem to be dealt with when it's the TEACHERS that have to deal with it though, shows that they think all of the students they teach aren't worth being treated like humans.
I was in middle school in the 90s and in all gifted classes. We too made an evil substitute cry. We were well behaved and good kids and she tortured us. We finally had enough and let her have it right back.
It only takes ONE disruptive student to destroy the efforts to educate the entire class. All the students feel unsafe and suffer. And that time is almost impossible to make up.
I can confirm this as a quiet kid in school that regularly had to submit to class punishments stemming from the behavior of a few unruly fellow students. It was a big reason why I developed such a negative impression of the classroom environment itself for a while.
When I started teaching in 1991 there was usually one difficult child in each class, sometimes two. By the time I retired in 2021 it was a third to half of the class acting up and/or being uncooperative constantly.
This is the main reason I quit teaching in 2020 after 5 yrs. I spent more time disciplining the kids than I did teaching them. I remember going home crying because of how disrespectful some of them were. And when you try to raise your concerns over their behavior and how it is affecting everyone, you have no support from your admin or parents. The mental/ emotional distress is just not worth $12 an hour.
@@dakz9296 It is dependent on where you live. If you're in overinflated states like Commiefornia or New York then no. But that's what you get from allowing the Government to jack up your taxes on everything.
New teacher here! And yes kids being behind by full grade levels is so true!! A lot can be the reasons like learning disabilities, what goes on at home, trauma, a lot. It boggles me everyday because I’m constantly reminded of the level that I was in their grade level and how majority of the kids today are not on that same level too. I’m still learning of course but I just hope that I can help in getting them up at least one grade level before experiencing any of the violent stuff that happens in classrooms due to increasingly bad behavior. Also it’s hard sometimes being a new teacher because any type of discipline issues is often put on us because we “haven’t learned classroom management” yet but it still is not an excuse for any of these students to be acting the way they have in those videos.
You just went to a good school. It most certainly happened before, during, and after you were in school. Remember that Amanda Todd was a student during that time period.
Just a little older than you (born 1996, graduated 2015) and I agree. I moved schools a lot, but it was consistently understood that the teacher is the authority. We did have some kids that caused havoc and weren't handled, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it is today. Hell, even when I was in SpEd for "emotionally disturbed youth", violence and disrespect was not accepted. You try to throw something? You get put in isolation until campus security or your counselor can handle you. My cousins are teachers, and they're absolutely broken. One is a science teacher who loves his job, but it retiring this year. He keeps snakes in his classroom and a 13 year old student threw one of the terrariums to the ground. Snake was not hurt (thank God), but my cousin broke. Other cousin is a STEAM teacher and has dealt with 15 year olds who don't know what 2³ equals. She's had parents complain that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is too violent of a title and she should remove it from the curriculum. My little cousins have horror stories aplenty from their time in school. It's absolutely insane.
@@J0eMegashe said it wasn't like this not that it was perfect. I was born the same year '98 and graduated in '16. My schools were not like this and no I didn't go to the best schools or that good of schools either. Yeah bullying has and sadly will always be a thing happening but throwing chairs at teachers and punching them in the face didn't happen in any I went to or heard from schools that friends went to. Kids today are q different beast 😂
im not gonna lie, part of it is because some of the parents have told their children dont take shit from anyone, rightfully so as some teachers have been/abused their power .. but the line between standing up for yourself and realizing maybe your teacher ISNT an actual demon teacher and wants the best for you wasnt defined clearly enough... Additionally, its not just a blatant disregard for rules and consequences, kids simply dont care about the reppercussions they get.. the bars for misconduct have been raised so high that things from getting your phone/devices taken away, suspensions, beatings, and expulsions dont even really have the intended effect anymore.. you can argue once they have devices taken away theyll calm down, but the thing is, when you have so many of those students in an area without virtual devices they will find OTHER ways to entertain themselves; even if its at the expense of others :(
I taught for 6 months then put in my resignation. I never expected it to be that bad but when the kids just straight tell you to “go f*** yourself” day in and day out. I’m not helping anyone and the pay is a joke so why stay?
@@kileyslife7541indeed he has our condolences and I hope the bump up to 85K for teachers soon then 100K+ if they gonna be doing this crap, pay that teacher well for both the disrespect and medical and psychology bills
It is 100% the parents fault. No excuses. This is why I homeschool my child. Not because of public school teachers, but because I know my child can’t learn in a room full of disrespectful kids.
I agree completely. We need to really start having serious discussions about Millennial parents, this permissive parenting style affects more than just their own children. We all have to put up with the negligence of these iPad parents who refuse to put their children in their places.
My law teacher actually had to send the whole class out because of disrespectful behaviours just so he could have a mental break. He is one of the kindest, funniest, most patient teachers and he is beloved by EVERYONE, yet he had to tell a whole class to take a walk around the school’s perimeter just so he could get a mental break. Obviously, no one walked the perimeter but myself and my friend, but that really shows that he was at his limit
I’m 16 and I’m actually disappointed for the other students around me. I’ve witnessed 3 of my teachers quit their job because of my classmates and they were my favorite too. I’m genuinely upset with my generation and I feel bad for what these teachers go through.
You should feel bad about yourself. Theyre going to drag you down with them and youll start falling behind too. Watch how your favorite teachers get replaced by people who dont know how yo teach or dont get replaced at all. Good luck.
I’m 17 and graduating this year. I’m tired of it. It’s stupid, irritating and draining. Just come to school, shut up and do your work. It’s not hard. So glad I’m graduating this year!!!!
Self-educate, the fact you see the issue and are aware of it - you are already ahead. So focus on yourself, on your skillset..you have a good head on your shoulders dont let it be misted. If you see your classmates as losers, reality is - most of them will stay losers. Media LOVES to sell the story of stupid kids becoming millionaires... yea maybe 1/10 000 000, reality is most of them will start drugs or alcohol and never get their life together. So dont underestimate this time, coz this is the only time in your life the government is giving you time to build up who you are and what you want. Those kids are wasting it and before they realize it they will be asked to work and pay taxes with no skillset and no discipline. Life truly aint that difficult if you follow the steps that are pre-drawn for you - the ones who wanna constantly take shortcuts are the ones who often fall too deep.
100% its the parenting. I'm a 1993 Millennial with 3 children (5, 3, and 9 months) who homeschools. I got my teaching degree but right as I was entering the school system I married my husband who was homeschooled and with lots of conversations, we decided we'd do the same for our kids. My 5 year old is probably at a 2nd grade reading level at this point because she loves it so much but I care more about how my children treat others than what level of education they're on. Case in point, my 3 year old is quite the spit fire, she's not one to follow rules the first go like her older sister but you can bet we teach consequences for your actions. Yesterday we were at swim lessons and I noticed my daughter (along with other kids in her class) were running away from the teacher instead of listening and following instructions. Us parents aren't allowed to intervene unless called over so I waited until class was done. My daughter runs up to me and I tell her she was being disrespectful to her teacher and her teacher's time by running away instead of learning. I then told her we are going to walk over to her and apologize for being disrespectful and because of this she will not be getting her 10 minutes of tablet time today. (I am EXTREMELY strict on tablet times and what my kids play - basically only educational games haha) Today, my daughter was listening even when others were being crazy. The teacher had to chase after other Gen Alpha kids while my daughter stood and waited. KIDS CAN BE TAUGHT TO BE RESPECTFUL IN A GENTLE WAY. Obviously I know kids will not be perfect and they have bad days, there's grace for that, but my gosh, I fear for my children when they go to colleges or work later in life.
@ImLilacMoonMost kids at the ages of 5-7 have very low 10-15 minute attention span in activities. While I was doing my practicum classes, we would specifically design class activities that would not be longer than 15-20 minutes and exchange to another one in order for them to not get fatigued or bored. So I can see it working
I am a 1995 Millennial and similarly got my teaching degree but did not teach after graduating. However, I also have not yet married (although I would love to be a SAHM and homeschool my kids eventually). Thank you for providing a perspective of how you teach your kids and have navigated your life. I have really struggled to find another career outside teaching that is family friendly. I am one of these people who is not career oriented but needs to find a way to sustain myself and contribute to my future family, which can be difficult to accomplish.
Not true my friend’s daughter was just expelled for going to school drunk… she is not enrolled right now because the school district doesn’t want her there. This same city put her daughter on the boys side because she identifies as a boy in juvenile detention even though her mother wanted her on the girls side.
@rachelharmon6489 maybe whwre youre at which is a blessing. But he not lying, in our school we have to damn near apply to expel. We have hearings just for suspensions
1, not true; punishments are still a thing, trust me, and 2, for the good it's gonna do. Poor behavior like this 9 times out of 10 stem from something else, something punishments aren't gonna solve. The only thing punishments are gonna do is make *you* fell better, not help the kid.
@MiketheNerdRanger no it is very true. Yall must not be teachers, different districts are ran different ways, alot of politics in education. Some schools and districts are ran better than others, but majority of teachers and even students are speaking up and showing that there is indeed an issue. Kids have been goin thru stuff at home since the beginning of time, and now they have more resources than ever.
Wife used to work in public schools. They had a meet the teachers night and only one kids grandmother came and no one else ( in a school of 200+ students) it really broke her heart and made her realize that the parents just saw her school as free daycare. Put in her two weeks later that year.
My best friend quit teaching last year and won’t return because while pregnant, she had a violent student at kindergarten age that would go after her. They’d target her stomach on purpose. She got zero help from admin. They kept telling her that it was something she needed to do and it was only her in that classroom. They didn’t even give her a para to at least help her. They left her on her own.
@@kpegc So in business, corporate, and private work this is true. Because this is government the rules do not apply to them. Any company that operated the way the education system treats teachers would be sued into oblivion but they make teachers sign contracts that basically makes them sub humans. Also, the teachers union works against teachers who try to stand up.
Oh boy. That is seriously wrong on all accounts. Especially when kids don't realize the consequences of causing injury to the mother and the baby...I get the fact that some teachers may not have the qualities needed to do more than keep their cool plus low pay and other problems. But having kids to run wild and violent with useless admin to help, which leads to more serious complications is something that can't be answered with ignorance. It's always something with either the school staff for some who are useless, some of the teachers who go into this career lacking qualities believing it's easy pay, only to find rude kids and their nerves pushed to the limit, and poor parents who don't discipline their child enough to know what's acceptable and what's not. The school system is getting worse, and these guys do the same things repeatedly that gets nowhere. One thing is for sure, some people don't want the responsibility for solving the problem thoroughly. It makes me glad I graduated in 08, but I think I did notice things were getting nuts in the schools I went to. It would dread me that the Gen Z and Alpha students in my old schools are worse than my generation. Of course, I can't claim that until I visit my schools again and get some answers.
Thank 60 years of progressive policies. Our feminine society cares more about feelings than merit. Feminine society speaks comforting lies over uncomfortable truths
I taught for five years. The last two were so stressful my hair was falling out, I was tired all the time, and emotionally drained. These kids are out of control, disrespectful, violent and completely uninterested in learning. I’m in a different career now and I’m happier and healthier than I’ve been in a long time.
It's not your fault, but remember it's also not necessarily theirs. It's a combination of things, but the 2 biggest ones for me are how outdated the Education System is repeating and recycling the same information over and over again, and Parents who just throws a screen at their babies and expect them to grow up by themselves off of Logan Paul (who is a Scammer and an Idiot lol). We need actual changes to happen to the Education System in order for society to move forward, cause Teachers don't deserve to get paid below Minimum Wage.
@@hiiihiii2175not the OP but my late sister was a teacher for three years before quitting. She switched into teaching at a juvenile detention center instead because the pay was better and discipline was actually enforced.
Watching how some of my classmates treat the teachers always made me sad. I understand teachers can be cruel but even the kindest and reasonable teachers are having to deal with spoiled, rowdy, kids. I feel so bad.
When I was in high school, there is the most kindest teacher and she's very patient, but the students treat her like shit and it makes her crying and leave the class
@@chibi_okamiI had a teacher like this too, and she was so sweet. I think about her a lot too because I never had such a sweet, compassionate and understanding woman, truly the embodiment of femiminity. But students would constantly walk over her and I remember having feelings of anger not only towards the students but also towards her because I truly looked up to her and she NEVER defended herself or was able to be firm in getting the class under control. I still have love for her and I truly hope that things have gotten better for her. But I understand your feelings of feeling bad for teachers relentlessly being bullied by literal children on a daily basis.
I'm so tired of hearing people say "You're a teacher, you're supposed to teach." Teachers are just people. And so many of these kids are IMPOSSIBLE to deal with. The parents absolutely should be held accountable. When I was in high school, if someone attacked a teacher, most of the guys in the class wouldn't hesitate to get up and hold them back. They might have even beat them up right there. I cannot imagine being able to look at a teacher who's genuinely PISSED at everyone, and laugh. I can't imagine being anything but uncomfortable. The students are beyond awful, the teachers are fed up, and the higher ups aren't doing anything.
Funny enough when I was in school teachers would tell us they werent there to teach us, but to give them an opportunity to learn...therefore when you were struggling they would tell you that it was a "you problem"
Teachers aren't the only people who should be teaching their kids either. Parents need to step tf and stop assuming teachers can fix their kids. That behavior results from home life, not school.
The problem is you can't teach when there are severe behaviors. If a kid hits a teacher or throws a chair, there's no learning that day. Even the most self motivated kid can't focus in that environment.
I'm a millennial, graduated high school in 2004. Bad behavior was not tolerated in school. I went to a very large public school in Oregon (about 300 students in my grade). Students with bad attitudes were not going to ruin the class for everyone else. If it ended in expelling them, they could get their GED or get a job.
Bingo. I graduated high school three years after you. We may have been the generation to be introduced to shiny technology and we were lambasted for our “materialism” (I’ve got a rage essay on that for another day bc I call BS on that). You know what we learned that Gen Z and apparently Gen Alpha haven’t? That actions have consequences. We millennials understand that playing stupid games means you get stupid prizes.
2004 graduate as well. Never understood why a large number of kids who are disrespectful and bad around out number the kids who want to learn. I try a little harder each year to get away from the troublesome students but every year I’m still stuck with them. Every day it’s a kid who pushes the teachers buttons or a bunch of them causing problems.
@@beckyweiss6072I’m a jr in high school right now and we do still learn this from our parents however there are many parents that don’t teach their kids which leads to the lessons you’re talking about. I honestly hate these kids and really agree that some people need to be actually visited by police has this is learned behavior. People in the outside don’t care what you are going through and expect you to behave. This should be the same in school and when they don’t behave you call parents and talk and if it doesn’t get better someone in power needs to talk to them.
300 kids in your class was large? I graduated in 2001 and we had a thousand kids in my class. But everything else you said is 100% accurate. My friend got expelled from school for having a crowbar in his locker. We had a no tolerance policy. And it was only 5 years later that my school was no longer allowed to go to another school for sporting events because we'd start riots. That's how quickly it went bad.
It's called enabling because the idea of discipline or administering any kind of accountablity might be construed as "abuse" and therefore make the school liable to lawsuits...
I just can’t believe we have let this happen as society. If parents don’t want to do their job, then stop having kids. Parents have a nerve to get offended when someone confronts them about their child’s behavior and then they just continue to pass on that entitled behavior to their child.
Unfortunately, kids are the product of unprotected intercourse. People who don’t care enough to use protection when they don't want kids are subsequently those who won’t care enough to raise their kids right
Teachers have some nerve to groom children into the LGBT lifestyle. Teachers think that they surpass the parents in these children's lives. Maybe is school wasn't so heavy handily compulsory you would get students that want to learn
This is a perfect representation of the issue. These kids are being told they don’t have to respect anyone cuz parents and teachers cannot even respect each other.
I was an Art major in college. Everyone assumed I was going to become a teacher. I said "HELL NO!". I saw what the art teachers had to put up with in High School. Those teachers had half the class that wanted to be there. The other half was the horrible students that noone else wanted because they are so disruptive that they just stuck them in art class, "they just draw right, just let them draw". No they would be the kids the teacher would have to babysit all semester. And once they took away detention and never brought that back after Covid that was the klincher. I'm a State Worker now and do art on the side. It's crazy right now. And its embarrassing that millenials (my generation) is showing their colors as the worst parents. I thought we would be better given the "trauma" they all seem to deal with on TikTok. No they apparently turned into little yes parents and never said no to their kid, doesnt parent at all and give them the tablet and lets them do whatever they want. It's making Boomers look pretty good, yes they gave their kids trauma but at least that generation knows how to work for shit and respect others.
I'm in my upper 40s now. A few years ago I took a local college art class. One of those independent study types. What a difference from before and after 2020. When I could go back, the new batch of kids would talk during lecture. They made a mess of the studio and wouldn't clean. Some of them moved my belongings if I was working on a project and they wanted the space to themselves. One of the doors would auto lock, and so as a courtesy people were supposed to answer if you knocked. Not these kids. You'd have to call the school security even though you could see them through the window. Eventually realized it was best going in at 8am. The one time you'd never see them.
I am horrified by how most of our millennial generation just do not bother to parent anymore and allow the internet to do it for them through an ipad/smartphone… I cant have my own kids due to severe physical health issues.. however if i did have some - I certainly wouldn’t allow an ipad to raise them. I would parent them how I was parented…. I am actually glad my bro and his wife seem to have decided to not have kids - based off the lack of training they have given the Corgi they got in 2019 - the child would grow up a complete demon-child like these……
When I was in high school, if a student disrespected the art teacher, the teacher would literally ask if they wanted to take it outside and duke it out. He’d likely get fired for that now, and even though he was an old man, no one took him up on his offer.
I’m a school custodian, and one year I was working at the High School, I spoke with a neighbor that was by the school and got into a conversation about the behavior of today’s youth. I made the comment, “It’s a shame that kids don’t have respect towards their elders.” And the gentleman replied, “It’s not the lack of respect, it’s the lack of fear of authority.” That hit home. These kids are not even afraid of police when they are in trouble. Makes you think, where did we all get it wrong?
It’s the neglectful and overly gentle parenting. Very well could be abusive parenting as well. Kids aren’t use to getting punished at home, or they see no other way to express themselves than be a menace and repeat the treatment they face at home. Social media now doesn’t help much either, considering these kids top influence is awful and degenerate behavior.
Okay, fear shouldn’t be the goal here. You shouldn’t be AFRAID of authority figures. That just makes it easy to be abused. My mother taught me how to respect authority figures, how to recognize abuse, and did all that without hurting me.
@@N0EL-7007I was a zoomer born from a Gen X mom. She raised me to take no bullshit, but only with its being given to me. She taught me that respect can be given but don’t bother if it isn’t given back. So I had teachers I respected and some that I didn’t. Still followed the rules and didn’t cause any fights. Yet on my last year, the younger gen started really getting violent. I remember the shock when I heard an old teacher (a school fav) got cuffed and walked out when a girl accused him of the bad touch. He didn’t by the way, she admitted she was lying for attention and in return got her shit rocked by a lot of students. What a world
This is so detrimental to students who WANT to learn!!!! Stop allowing the perpetrators to be rewarded; start rewarding students who are following all the rules. This starts at home.
14:38 I had this issue in 1993. Back then I was a substitute teacher for “army brats“. There was no respect and no regard for property or people. One student took my car keys off my desk and threw them in the outside garbage can when I wasn’t looking. No one would confess or help me find them, it took half a day to find them. Another student lit the locker outside of my classroom on fire, neither one was reprimanded or punished. Admin did not talk to the parents. I was blamed as the teacher for not being aware that these things were happening to me. It was enough to give up my dream of being a teacher. I completely understand what these teachers are going through right now. It is sad that it is happening everywhere and not just “army brats“…
I graduated this year. We watched some of our favorite teachers quit my last year because of the disrespect from students. There was this one couple that i had a class with that was constantly disruptive and made the whole class much worse. Everytime we'd watch a movie they'd always complain that it wasn't the one they wanted. We lost class privileges because of them and kids who wanted to learn couldn't because they can't keep their mouth shut. It was straight deplorable. I feel so bad for Gen A kids that are going to constantly deal with not only the stigma but the awful people they're going to be forced to grow up with.
One time some kid was trying to yap out the teacher to run the clock in English class, and I wasn't having it cause I really wanted to learn about the subject at hand (it was Beowulf and it was awesome). I'm not even joking when I say I turned to him and told him to STFU, the teacher took me out of class, and then proceeded to tell me "hey, I wanted to tell him that too, but watch your mouth." Didn't even get written up for it 🤣
I taught for 6 years and left after I was physically assaulted and the kid wasn't expelled and I was forced to teach him the rest of the year. That was my breaking point. He slammed me against the white board and an ambulance was called because I lost consciousness. He gave me a concussion. I had to walk into that class everyday for months wondering if he was going to be set off again and he would hurt me or another student. This was about 10 years ago, he was 12 at the time. He had defiant explosive disorder but wasn't diagnosed until he was about to go to high school. He was extremely remorseful and he wasn't shining me on with that. He knew he couldn't control his anger but his parents refused to get him help because they were worried that would follow him throughout his life. I ended up working with him so he could give me a heads up when he felt like he was losing control so we could calm him down. When he was moving up a grade, I spoke to his teacher and taught him how we handled it since it seemed to work. The school and his parents failed him and me. He will be graduating college this year and he's gotten a lot of therapy and worked through a lot of stuff. He is a good kid but that situation shouldn't have happened. His parents should have gotten him the help he needed when he asked for it and under no circumstances should I have been forced to continue to teach him after he assaulted me. That was unfair to us both.
Great Points. I have had all the same shtuff. Former teacher here, there was a paradigm shift I noticed about 20 years ago. When a student got in trouble enough to go to the office, parents came in saying, "What did my child do?". In contrast, more parents now say, "What did you do to my child?" I know this comment is late, but I just started watching your stuff and wanted to add my two cents. Love your content.
The teacher at @14:20 saying that kids exhibiting bad behaviors get snacks after a visit to the prinicipal’s office is literally positive reinforcement. That is so insane to me.
PBIS must go. All districts need to modify their behavior plans. Sooner rather than later. In our district there are no more "tickets" for write ups. It's going to get worse before it gets better. It's already awful.
As a teacher and someone who now teaches parenting classes, I need to say: there is something in between hitting children to force them to obey and letting them get away with anything and everything. It’s called setting boundaries and giving logical consequences. But I think a lot of parents are so afraid of being mean to their kids that they can’t make themselves do it. Parents, with love, I have to say: it’s ok for your kids to be mad at you. It’s ok for them to hate you for a little while because you took away their tablets. Ultimately, they’ll love you more if you love them enough to hold them to high standards. You’ve got this!!
"Free to do what you want as long as you don't harm anyone!" Then parents and teachers lost the will to give the kids tough love, and now we have this situation, everywhere around the globe.
@CraytorRealOf course it’s a combination, but it’s starts at home with parents. If parents aren’t making sure that kids learn action/consequence and don’t help enforce what schools are telling them then kids are going to get worse.
I remember we NEVER disrespect our teachers back in my high school years. If we do, off to the office we go. The problem is that the students are NOT getting erough punishment. They need to be disciplined.
Every teacher should sue the parents of the child who is abusive towards teachers. Then parents will have no choice but to make it clear that abusive behavior at school towards teachers is not ok. It not ok for teachers to be abusive either.
Teachers are just as abusive but it's under reported and buried because of the teacher shortage. Teachers are only fired if they are caught doing something criminal which is why they get away with it for awhile before finally caught. I take it they don't believe they'll ever be punished.
They can't. You can sue the district but that's like getting a cop convicted. Teachers' hands are tied meticulously fashion is impressive how well the system is setup to cover its own tracks. My wife documented a physical assault and she got in trouble and told not to report those things because it makes them look biased. so reporting actual events is biased?!
My Dad was in the education system for 34 years. He retired last year. He keeps in contact with all of his old teachers and they're all quitting due to the students. Its not just a few trouble makers, its now half of the school..
My sister became a teacher in 2020 and quit a yr later. It was so bad. The students were horrible. The things they would do and say we’re horrendous and sexual and harassing. I felt so bad for her. Her mental health was deteriorating. I watched her change into a different person.
Oh god, yes, the sexual assault is horrible! I was a teacher but quit after a few months bc i couldnt stand LITERALLY seeing teachers getting punched in the face I was never assaulted, but my (teacher) friend's coworker got asked really sexual perverted questions and the student was sent to the office, then immediately sent back bc the office was full of "worse" kids of course, he was laughing the whole time and acting like a bad*ss bc he never got in trouble
This is what nurses go through. It’s not the patients. They abuse us. That’s always a given and it’s not tolerated to a point. The Managment allows other staff to abuse other staff. Cert Nursing Assistants in LTCs run the homes, meaning they run off nurses all the time. Managment refuses to correct them like before because the CNAs are paid so low they can’t find anyone to do it. So Managment placates the CNAs abx they learn they can be mean and still get a paycheck. The harassment and abuse is causing nurses to quit now. It’s not burnout from patients. This is different. It’s like Managment created a situation which they don’t work on the floor and don’t care.. all they know it work$.
@@FirstnameLastnames Trust me, it gets worse. I could literally type out a bunch of nasty things that have been said to teachers There was a pregnant teacher who had a student threaten to punch her in the stomach, and then admin asked the teacher what SHE (the teacher) did wrong (not the student) Another student promised to make sure a different pregnant lady landed face first after she (the pregnant lady) got pushed down some stairs "in an accident" There was literally a bomb/shooting threat and the school didnt want to go into lockdown bc it would "scare the kids" (this was before uvalde, and i bet things are different now). luckily the cops found the people, and it turns out the kids didnt even go to the school anymore.
My best friend had to call the police on her daughter's class back in 2004. The kids were throwing pencils at a young teacher these kids were in 7th grade. The teacher was asking for help from the principal and he was hiding in his office. The vice principal threatened to beat my friends butt in the parking lot. Because she dared to call the police.
I'm a Gen Z with a Gen Alpha sister and honestly I'm grateful my parents raised me correctly. I don't like some of my classmates and I feel so sorry for the teachers who are forced to take care of them daily, and just knowing there's nothing I can do but pray that kids are raised better. 😞
Not suspending or expelling kids for bad behavior is wild, it effectively leaves the teachers powerless and without any real support. Especially with younger grades where a student having to stay home due to suspension often means the parent has to take time off work, which is usually a better way to get lazy/hands-off parents to actually parent their kids. Sad that it takes hitting them in the wallet to get them to actually do something, but its better than the current state of things.
Not related to your comment but I hope people see this… without education it will be hard for these kids to have jobs and be able to fend for themselves. They want the next generation to be rely on the government. Looks up the law they passed on universal income a few years back. I doubt they would sign something like that unless they plan to use it in the future. Probably has to do with CBDC’s…. No conspiracy just an observation.
Why is nobody talking about the quality of teachers we have? I know several high schools where there's teachers addicted to meth, having sex with teenage STUDENTS and paying for it. The highschool I went to someone got some of their scalp pulled out and all the teacher could do was flail her arms yelling. They are quite useless. We learn NOTHING. No one teaches you federal laws. It makes literally no sense if we are supposed to "abide by the laws". Our parents teach us nothing because that's the teacher's job, ok but they're not going to teach us meaningful life skills. Just homeschool ur kids if you care about them
@@hinkle3634 I started witnessing some of this as I graduated from High School not too long ago. In Elementary school and even during Middle School where there were a lot of kids were needlessly causing trouble ended up getting getting suspended some of course getting kicked out, and if it came to grades that was another thing as well since I witnessed some friends of mine that ended up getting held back a year and even took class with someone in elementary school who got held back. Point being that in the past the admins used to typically side and help the teachers but nowadays its looking like that's becoming a rarity and I think the administration really needs to crack down on this, and if there's such a concern then might as well just install cameras in the classroom since apparently these kids can't be trusted and many would be quick to point he finger at the teachers instead of the kids. Especially the parents also need to be held accountable into actually doing their job, personally I'd almost op for more extreme measures regarding parents since not all parents deserve children.
When my daughter was in kindergarten she got frustrated in class and threw a chair in class. I got the call and it never happened again. She is 29 y.o now. She knew I was not the one.
It mkes me so sad, as a mother to 2 special ed children, they are constantly getting a new teacher every year because they either quit or get "reassigned"
The first lady at the beginning nailed it. The teachers do not have any support for terrible behavior, they are supposed to just sit there and take abuse? They can't escalate behavioral problems if the Administrators are going to delete referrals to the principal. The Administrators ALREADY KNOW what the problem is, but they don't want to hold parents accountable, and they do not want to enforce any discipline or consequences for behavior, pushing all of it back on to the teacher. No employee can survive in a daily abusive environment, no matter what job you have.
As a millennial parent of a teen let me say that of those that actually discipline our kids… ppl look and treat us like we are crazy. These children have all sorts of resources to retaliate against teachers and parents. The soft parenting and extreme one sidedness has taken over. Being a traditional parent in this climate makes you public enemy #1.
I think this needs to be stated. We live in an era where someone can get butt hurt and call CPS and they might take your kid. Your two year old screams in your own house and someone gets involved.
It’s not gentle parenting that’s the issue, it’s passive parenting. Gentle parenting is about emotional regulation, responsibilities, and empathy, passive parenting is what allows these kids to walk over authority figures without one ounce of respect.
@@theirishsaint4324Yep, saw a video just the other day of one of these Karen's filming a man saying she was calling CPS because his daughter cussed out themom in public and he disciplined her. Sad thing is, CPS would likely agree with the woman.
I was a teacher for five years. One of the reasons I left the profession is because there is a serious push to simply pass students no matter what they do. At one point the guidance counselors CHANGED the grades I gave students so they would graduate. Some of my 12th graders couldn’t read above a 3rd or 4th grade level, but it looks bad if your school has a lot of students fail. For example, in my state, if you have too many students fail, your school goes on probation. If the school is on probation for 5 years, the school is moved to a list for potential closure. There is a lot of competition for money between schools. Public charters and traditional public schools compete for money, and administrators want teachers to please parents so students aren’t moved to other schools.
Several times I was required to pass a student that did not deserve it and had barely done any assignments. I did not agree with giving a 50 on an assignment that was not even turned in. And a few weeks of summer school does not make up for failing test grades either. When are the kids supposed to learn anything if they just move along? Why should they put any effort in if they know they'll go on to the next grade no matter what?
I went to private high school, and if any student was ever found out to ever drink or get high or smoke anything they were instantly expelled end of story.
I’m a public bus driver in Australia, where it is different than America, is that public buses also service as school buses, so part of my job is driving as a school bus, and it’s probably the worst part of the job, kids these days are just evil, I’m not going to sugar coat it. So I’m a bus driver, not a teacher, and I’m the only adult on a bus packed full of evil kids, no other adults I’m responsible for a bus load of kids as well as negotiating the roads with a heavy vehicle. I mentioned how bad kids are to my mum, she’s been a teacher for over 30 years, and she said yes, kids these days are the worst they have ever been. My mum is an exceptional teacher, she’s worked high up in the education department and been offered jobs as principle but has always preferred to be in the classroom. She has been abused by and hit by kids under 10 years old Kids today are disgusting, and the future is screwed
In the city I am in, in the US-they can’t hire people to drive buses. And I don’t blame them. The pay is low, the kids are mean. The local McDonald’s pays more.
When I went to school in the 00s bus drivers could stop the bus and kick the problem students off. Not sure if it was actually allowed but the drivers were always still there after so they weren’t getting sacked. Do students at least still say ‘Thank you’ as they exit?
@@slimyish Shame. I remember when I was in Year 7 a girl giving her bf a handijay in the seat behind me. Some spoof landed on the back of my seat. But you bet your arse they both said ‘Thank you’ to the bus driver as they exited.
I am from Switzerland. My little sister has multiple “bad” students as classmates. Two of them consistently call a black girl in their class the n word casually. And also call their teacher a whore daily. They scream, play on their phone, vape in class, walk out. And nothing is done. Two teachers already quit just because of that class alone. Update: Half of the class was kicked out of school. One kid even went to an orphanage because of some legal troubles. A group chat was found where some of the boys in the class would put in pictures of girls and talk about if they found them ugly or wanted to sleep with them (reminder they are barely teens). The police made them delete it. Also later the police had to get involved again because of some r4pe threats. So yeah
Good lord, dude. I'm currently a junior in highschool, and I recently fucked up my leg, nothing particularly serious. But so far I've already been shoved over with complete disregard that my leg *is* fucked up quite a bit, and since I'm forced to use the elevator, I get to experience the less than pleasant stench of vapes and drugs on a Friday afternoon. There are some exceptions, but it's getting bad, fast.
Wow, this is just how my middle school years went. That was in 2004-2007! We are now addressing this? I have a panic disorder thanks to environments like this. It wasn’t fair to the quiet kids who were there to learn.
I remember a parent being shocked that her child was about to graduate from high school but she discovered that he couldn't read or write. That's mainly on her as the parent.
NO it's not on the mothers. they need help raising their kids. teachers should raise their kids with them. for mothers, it takes a village to raise one child. for fathers, it takes a father to raise his own child.
@@whateverman2674that is 100% on the parent. There's no way you can have a kid for 18 years of their life and not knowing an inkling of their academic performance or ability.
@@mintiimidnight Mothers have to work full time. they have a lot to do. when they come home from work they are TIRED. it's not easy man. The community (teachers, neighbors, police, etc.) needs to step in and help raise their kids. Moms can't do everything on their own.
I was a daycare teacher for 2-5 years olds. I lasted 1 year. The things that were allowed to happen to me by the admin would be considered illegal if the kids were grown adults. But since they were kids, there was nothing done about it. I came home with bruises, cuts, scars, and bite marks everyday. I quickly learned that reporting anything to my managers was useless because they would physically throw away any reports I wrote up. My students were so addicted to their Ipads that they couldn’t handle not having them in their hands for 8 hours a day and they would scream in my face and slap me constantly. I was told by a 5 year old that he planned on tying me up with duct tape and leaving me to die. I had multiple chairs and toys thrown directly at my face. I’m surprised I even lasted a year.
As a teacher: we are being held to a high standard, but administrators are not. Disciplinary measures that once were used to deter bad behavior are now nonexistent in many cases.

My sister told me her kids don't get graded.
I asked 'how is their progress gaged?'
She didn't know.
Ive seen the teachers that are quitting. Goodbye groomers. Dont let the door hitcha where the good lord splitcha.
Is anyone else seeing the issue with the 7th grade kids reading at the 4th grade level? What could have happened in a 3 year period that would have interrupted so much?
Dont mention the global pandemic.....that 3 year period is totally coincidental.....
@@arbhall7572.. why are you still bringing up the part where teachers abused children for 3 years, that was a year ago, how dare you judge these teachers by their actions..
well all gen z and alpha are doing is showing that despite being raised by "open minded" people they've become even more dangerous aspects of an otherwise peaceful and violence free environment catered towards academic achievement meaning not having to have the waiter/waitress go over the menu with you and how much the food will cost exactly pulling out their wallets and having the person serving them sort out how much the gen z/alpha person will have to spend, like when you explain the value of money to a child but an entire generation that's on it's way to being adults who can't do jack shit will throw hands with their bosses because they were bossed around by their boss, just tuly showing how dumb they really are and then they'll wonder why they don't qualify for any form of government aid having contributed nothing to society and so therefore not deserving of aid being a violent knuckle dragging neanderthalic couch surfer that only whinges about shit instead of being a normal ass adult
Three problems:
1. Negligent/Faulty administration
2. Social media & toxic entertainment
3. Bad parenting or home life
yes certainly, but i want to add something on too, you may or may not agree with me, but it is not gen alpha who people think is "horrible and cringe" but they are simply just the consumers who take the bait on the fishing pole. its the millennials and gen z who rot their brains putting stuff online for them to see. gen alpha did not ruin society, society ruined gen alpha
These in reverse order - it ALL begins in the home. That is where the foundation for life is established.
3.
It's not "kids problem", it's always "parents problem". Kids learn from examples.
I've heard a lot of parents expressing that they're worried about punishing their kids because of the perceived "abuse". Its like they just gave up with any kind of punishment for their actions due to being afraid people would think they're bad parents. Bur there's no real "this is the right way" solution out there.
@@NorthonBrucedepends on the age of the student. In their teens, kids know multiple right from wrong issues despite parents. A 16yr old knows it’s not ok to put their hands on other students even if mom and dad didn’t say so.
I'm a teacher and I have seen a lot. But my oldest daughter has had the worst. She was put in a hospital in middle school by a bully. The admin had the bully make a "Get Well Soon" card...for a punishment. Huh??!!! For hospitalization? For a morphine drip?
So I called the school district's police department. The bully was removed in handcuffs.
School's response to me: "What have you done? That poor kid (the bully) has been through so much. It was so embarrassing to be removed like that"
Not my child who left school in an ambulance. She was put back together by an orthopedic surgeon?
Admin only reached out to our family after the bully was arrested
😳
It's beyond outrageous what happens in many schools. Good admin is everything!
It legitimately shocks me how little schools do about bullying worldwide. I feel like I lucked out because I _was_ protected from bullies by teacher and staff/the principal.
I'm so sorry your daughter experienced this. It's ridiculous how bullying is managed these days. At my son's school after the bully is told to apologize they then force the victim to say they accept the apology. That's ridiculous. And of course the punishment never seems to be more than a slap on the wrist if there is any punishment at all. And I think it's because of difficult parents who get up in arms about others disciplining their children. And of course administrators don't want to deal with the consequences of the parent's responses to outsiders disciplining their children.
nah that's actually horrifying, they almost put your daughter on the brink of death and the school is making you seem like the crazy one.
What's with school and their overprotective nature towards bullies against teachers and students?
Almost the same thing happened to me, I got punched in the back of the head and wasn't even taken to be looked at for a possible concussion (I have medical complications, so this was breaking code and possibly the law) and the only response I got for the bully's "reasoning" is because I looked like her mother who she had issues with.
Several years ago, I worked as juvenile corrections officer. I once asked one of the teachers why they chose to teach in a jail instead of public schools. Her response? "They want to be in class. It's a chance to get out of their unit. But If they do act up in my classroom here, y'all come get them. In public schools, that doesn't happen. I'm forced to teach through the disruption." My face 😮
It used to be the case a few decades ago they WOULD come and get them and throw them in juvie as they should have.
But of course as is the case with most of the issues of this world, social justice had to come around and fuck it up for everyone. Millennials were the first generation to be gripped by and indoctrinated by social justice with multiple organizations listing that generation along with Z and Alpha as the drivers of the social justice movement.
While in College, Millennials were fed the lies for critical race theory and intersectionality and started applying those theories into their workplace including teaching. Millennials graduated college around 2000 and organizations like Inner City Education (2003), Inner City Youth Charitable Foundation (2000), the Youth Impact Program (2003), etc. all popped up on or around them entering the work force. Let's be real, no one was talking about "Inner City Youth" prior to 1995 at best. So they come up with all of these programs and organizations to receive donations on behalf of inner-city youths while teaching those same youths that everything is racist and white people are evil and they will never amount to anything because of systemic racism. Any time a black millennial or younger actually behaves in a manner conductive to success like studying, getting good grades, developing an independent philosophy and political opinion, every time a black person escapes the clutches of degradation and destitution is labeled "Acting white". Millennial parents also reinforced these attitudes by refusing to give their children neutral names like Mary or John and instead created "black" names like LaQuesha or Treyvon, to make sure their racial identity could never be hidden or obscured so their children could be judged for their character and not their skin. Within a few years you have teachers bemoaning the "School to prison industrial complex pipeline" as if black kids magically ended up in Juvie and were just being snatched up at every opportunity to keep the classroom as white as legally possible.
10-15 years later these idiot social justice warriors moved on from "helping the inner-city youths" in the classroom after getting their accolades and little medals and trophies to working administration.
THOSE SOCIAL JUSTICE MORONS are are unsupportive administration these poor teachers are up against. If Jeriqayvon gets 215 referrals he'll be sent to Juvie which is "perpetuating the systematically racist school to prison pipeline" so they start deleting referrals for black students. Then the white special ed students. Then the trans students. Until these social justice birdbrains realize they might never not what intersectional group a student fits into that could get them labeled every ism and ist under the sun. So now no students can be removed from the school. What are they? Bigoted racist sexist transphobic monsters sending queer black youths to the slaughter?! Not them!
All because a bunch of anti-white racists called racism when there was none.
It's not racist to send disruptive violent black students to Juvie for anti-social behavior. They aren't being sent there because they are black, it's because they can't behave.
In the end, if we can remove these anti-white racist bigoted administrators from these positions and strip the DEI initiatives out, teachers would have support because they would be allowed to issue rewards and punishments based on MERIT. BEHAVIOR. Instead of what oppressed group the student is in and what political block the school might offend.
That's how Juvie actually works! The bad inmates are given punishments, consequences, put away as to not harm others. Good inmates are rewarded, given certain privileges and access based on their MERIT of their GOOD BEHAVIOR. It's almost like people, regardless of skin tone, respond to rewards and punishments!!
It's sad but so ironic that the least racist system built into an organization is what these idiots want to destroy the most. They don't want these youths to succeed. They don't want them to be educated or informed, they don't want them earning privilege and access in society. They want them stupid, oppressed and angry so they can syphon money from bleeding heart rich liberals until they can peacefully retire.
That's exactly what all of the organizations are about.
If they weren't about causing hate, division, misinformation, and stupidity, they would never racialize their organization. They wouldn't have DEI initiatives. They wouldn't coddle certain students and ignore the safety and security of everyone else.
It would all be based on merit and the ability of these kids to help themselves and accept help from others. It was doing what's best for the child regardless of how anyone else felt like making sure the parents followed up with the efforts to help these kids.
But no, the kids do their little crafts at the cultural center and then go home where Mommy is listening to pound town while getting railed by her drug dealer and another gang related shooting is popping off outside his window. The drug dealer is of course daddy's associate and promised to "take care" of the family while daddies in jail working the state provided lawyer to get bonded out before the weekend. When little Mikey tries to get good grades he gets told he acts white so he either turns to drugs and rapping, hoping to make it like Lil Nas so he could be successful one day and be himself instead of this ratchet stereotype just to survive, or he pushes through to be successful "acting white" only be called a coon and a race traitor while moving into his nice new gentrified apartment while BLM screams out his window he's an oppressor and a racist.
How many black lives did I describe? Too many. That's the problem. Black people can and are far more those two sad stories. Black people can be anything, everything. Black people are people and don't need someone to shouting racist here there and everywhere to succeed.
Social justice ruins everything it touches. And what we see here is just more proof in the pudding that social justice fails. Every. Single. Time.
I recently saw an ad looking to hire teachers for the DOC. They raised the salary and now it pays better than I make in my current job. I've considered it because there is actual backup when kids act up.
That is actually insane
Why were a lot of kids there in the first place?
Yup!!
It's got to the point where mainstream school is going to have all the elements of prison because of these behaviours
Have y'all noticed the students only record after the teachers snap and not when the students are being disrespectful?
Then be like "She just broke randomly" yes yes i know.
Adults do it too. They just like their parents to be honest.
That's how this kind of thing works man. Why would someone be taking video before anything interesting starts happening?
@@hodgesjakeNo! No!
It's how attention seeking fuck ups make it work.
Because they don't want to record their own faults. And it's not "interesting".a teacher walks out of your class and quits That's sad. Do better.
Happens in real life as well. Narcissistic and psychopath people do this
I was assaulted by 18 year old student. His consequence was 2 day suspension. I pressed charges. My administration didn’t support me. That’s what pushed me to retire at the end of this year.
I am so sorry that happened to you. I walked out of the profession a few years ago in the middle of the school year. I don't understand why that kind of behavior is tolerated in schools when it would never be okay out in the "real" world. The other teachers that I worked with used to say that if you got punched by some random kid outside of a school, you would have every right to fight back, but for some reason, when you're a teacher and it's your student, you're expected to just take it and nobody knows why 🤷♀️
@@SkinnyPigDesignsI am a mental health therapist who had many teachers as clients and heard the challenges and horror stories. All the helping professions are collapsing and broken. I dealt with the same lack of accountability from student's parents and lack of support from management too. It's a nightmare.

I also have to question the wisdom of thinking that it's possible to create a utopia, where things aren't a problem to some degree
Twenty years ago this was common even in good areas.
I blame the parents, not saying "NO" to their kid, giving them everything they want, not talking to them about right and wrong. I could go on for days.
I think it’s more social media and parents not controlling that.
I also feel like some of the kids' friends have something to do. I was raised right but in middle school. My "friends" would start pressuring me to do bad things that my guardians never knew about.
its the millenial moms shoving a camera on their babies 24/7 and showing off their kids or not even doing that and just letting them do whatever while they still party like they have no responsibilities.
Both can be true. I’ve definitely seen parents that never say “no” to their children and having no consistency with right and wrong (much of the time laziness and a lot of the time they’re being hypocritical about right and wrong”
And I’ve also seen year after year parents are paying less and less attention to the social media their children consume.
And let’s not forget, there are those parents that try to “protect” their children like a little angel and get mad at anybody who yells at them, doesn’t give them special treatment, and telling their kid they aren’t as good, or pretty, or smart, or funny, etc. as they think they are.
They get mad when people are honest and tell them or their kid the truth they they aren’t the best at everything.
Kids need to learn that they need to work harder and sometimes that not enough, they can’t always get everything they want.
Regardless of if gen z and alpha are problems
Teachers should be payed more
Especially with these generations that they teach
I’m a mom of three. I’ve spoken to tons of kids and one thing I’ve noticed is that they aren’t listened to very often. I’ve had kids chase me down at the school and sat down with me and said they can’t talk to their parents about stuff. I listen to them and I look them in the eyes and let them talk as long as they want. Sumtimes it’s a few minutes or longer. But they are definitely not getting this attention at home.
Parents are on their phones all the time or hand their kids phone at such a young as a distraction. So incredibly sad.
I bet this could really save a young kid from going down this path. I'm worried that older kids will need a lot more than a listening ear if they don't want to live the life this behavior will earn them.
Another issue is the kids who show up eager to learn and behave themselves have their education ruined by others in the classroom who don't.
Absolutely. And adding on top of that classes that are filled to the brim with students to maximize room, you get a chaotic environment like no other.
Me
Very true. I feel so bad for my nephew. He's super smart and actually likes learning but other kids ruin it.
Wouldn't it be helpful if teachers sent letters home to the parents of the students trying to learn? They should be alerted to the fact that the school administration is allowing a disruptive child to ruin their child's education journey. If there was any facility issue in the room or supplies issue for the class, letters would be sent home to the parents to alert them. Why not this? Frankly, if a teacher is going to quit anyway, why not snitch on the school system to the parents?
Or the stressed out teachers lash out at the good ones.
My dad taught in Baltimore City. One day he stopped a girl from stabbing another kid, and the parents of the kid doing the stabbing threatened to sue him. That was his last day of teaching.
😮😮😮 you CANT be serious?!!
He should’ve let them TRY to sue him, Imagine the shock and laughter the Judge will have when they hear the situation. “This is a joke right? There is no way I’m getting payed for this” 😂
Did they not hear themselves, this is the child that they raised.
I mean its Baltimore, You kinda see it coming
They would never have a case unless the girl was doing it for self defense and then was injured because of him stepping in
One of my in-law is a teacher and she sums up the issue as "the teachers are afraid of the parents, the parents are afraid of the kids and the kids aren't afraid of anybody".
Sounds like those kids will be in jail some day
@@MustacheCashStash125 Hopefully
@@nobodyknows2919 Benson already has to deal with this everyday with Mordecai and Rigby
Parents are also afraid to go to jail. Kids have all the power
Knowledge is power. And having power makes you brave.
From my pov, as an autistic dropout who couldn't finish senior year due to the entire environment:
1. Kids are too desensitized from the internet, they think abhorrent behavior is normal irl
2. The parents aren't parenting, and if they are, they're doing it all wrong..clearly
3. Teachers are underpaid, admin doesn't wanna work, kids are already mistreated in school and see no reason to behave
4. Forced passing. I probably shouldn't have even made it to senior year, but the schools wanna look good to the public so they pass most of the kids if not all.. meaning those kids never truly got an education and they're being forced to learn harder things afterwards
5. The system in general is broken. No, that student isn't gonna get 3 full assignments done for their classes in one night, they also aren't going to remember every bit of information when it's all crammed in at once. Test on the ability to apply knowledge, stop testing memory skills.
6. In America, it feels SO hard to get adequate help with disabilities, especially pre diagnosis (which is expensive). If you're "not disabled enough" for special ed, they won't even consider it and try "helping" with the most minimal accomodations. If you ARE in special ed, you get mistreated by students and teachers.. not to mention how little the special ed students are actually taught about social cues. Unfortunately having special ed kids in with non disabled classes tends to become a disruption if they aren't taught how to.. not disrupt.
We need an entire reform of public schools, yet we can't afford the time to shut them down.
i agree with you very hard, my brother has asperger’s syndrome and literally had to be pulled from school because children would bully, take his snacks, clothes, his shoes, grab his genitals, mistreated by teachers, literally everything and it makes me so so sick, especially in small towns the schools are absolutely terrible and disgusting. literally they have sex offenders at said school because they do not do back ground checks
@@chikencrumbI’m more disturbed about other kids grabbing his genitals wtf 😭
And the government wants to gut education funding even more. Education is one of the most common funds to be taken from the funnel into some other dumb bullshit war machine.
@@chikencrumb I was diagnosed with Asperger's back in the early 90s, I am 43 now. I also experience severe bullying and trauma throughout school, including many of the terrible things you mentioned. School administrators did nothing and told me to just ignore it even though it was literally happening to me 24/7 for three years!!! It was not until school of choice that I was able to leave that district and my mom moved me to a charter school, which was also crappy but I wasn't being severely bullied all day long. I hope you can find a way to move him or homeschool, its not worth it for him to be in that environment. As a gifted/special ed student had I been in a caring and inclusive environment, I know I would have blossomed and actually done well in school, I almost failed out just based on my trauma, and ended up with some bad crowds and doing bad things because of how traumatized I was. I ended up in abusive relationships and homeless, and then eventually got onto SSI and went to college and started putting my life together.
I'm current an OT in the schools and it can be bad. The Sped students that are bullies are never punished because of their IEPs, teachers quit in droves to the point where we have long term subs with no training on how to deal with their behavior step in, and admin just either sticks their head in the sand or shoves teachers under the bus to appease the sue happy parents. The stories I could tell. And then there's me just doing my best to give strategies to the teachers and try to help these kids regulate and transition before I can even work on handwriting. Honestly if it's not improved by middle school I drop it and go assistive tech because it's more practical and applicable to them. I don't have much power and it sucks. You're 100% right. I also don't enjoy the least restrictive environment policy, especially when it's clear they're failing. It's the "let them fail for 6 weeks while we take data and twiddle our thumbs and then maybe if we feel like it we'll do something" that doesn't sit with me. It's discouraging to the teachers and the students. It's not fair.
Former teacher here! I literally had to teach children manners. I had to make sure they were held accountable. I had to work my ass off to catch them up to their reading levels. My class was one of the most polite in the school. However, I ended up not leaving due to the students. I left because the administration did nothing to help students or teachers. There was no support. We were overworked and underpaid and barely appreciated.
I didn't leave because of them. I still miss my students. But let me make it clear; I had to step up when the parents so obviously didn't step in.
thank you for doing that, those kids might not understand now but you’ve made their futures brighter
I also left because I wouldn't support that system any more. There is no accountability for piss poor principals!
I promise you those kids will be thankful when they become adults and have responsibilities of their own
That's what teachers have always done. Every generation has problem kids and I hate this narrative all kids are bad now. Have the kids in these classrooms would have been in fear then the teacher ran away. It's pretty upsetting to see honestly. The problem is that the child needs to be removed.
Meanwhile my daughter is being bullied and they tell her to stay away from people who are hitting her and there are no consequences yet I mention homeschooling and they say she is in the best place for her. Yeah I don't think so...

@@ADanZLifeYou sound foolish. If teachers wanted money they would’ve chosen a higher paying career. The teaching profession is the most gaslighted job in the world. Teachers are often made into the scapegoat by incompetent parents, admins, and students. Teachers did NOT raise these kids. The sole responsibility goes to the parents. Don’t have kids if you’re clueless about parenting.
One major issue that we have here is that so many people just have kids just to HAVE them, but they don’t actually take the time to RAISE them!

Thats what I'm seeing a lot of too. I havent seen a lot of parents be like "ouhh i dont want to abuse my kids thats why I don't discipline them" and more "I can't even be arsed to look after my children so I set them in front of the iPad to shut them up."
Parents today have gotten lazy, not sensitive. I was raised much differently as a genZ, having been born into a military family, so discipline and learning were at the forefront of my parents' mindsets. Sometimes I think it worked *too* well because now I have pretty bad anxiety about not being perfect, but thats likely due to childhood trauma (mom wasn't that great of a person, but dad's fine) and some personal flaws on my end.
dude thats been a problem for like the entirety of the history of the human race. Don't you know about the "american dream"? that was part of it.
Or get put in cages for tough love let's not forget that everybody just glossing over that.
Yup.
Maybe we as a society should stop pressuring people to have kids
As a Gen Z, I hate school, but I still fight for a good education. How are we gonna get our diplomas now?
Do your best, seek support from a teacher who truly supports you, and try to disregard those who are not fully engaged during class. Despite their choices, keep giving your best effort. As a music teacher, I want to reassure you that you will be okay and will succeed in obtaining your diploma. Keep doing your best!

As a Gen Z student, the kids in my grade, specifically the boys and some girls, are very disrespectful. We had our trip to Orlando cancelled because kids got angry that everyone voted for one park over another leading for one kid to tell the teacher to off themselves. They also started numerous terrible rumors about our best reading teacher leading her to quit. It infuriates me that people my age act this way.

i too, am i gen z student and ive also seen the kind of behaviour you're talking about. Im 15, most students in my class or year group are older than me yet they behave like six year olds. our year was the year that banned phones in class, vandalised bathrooms, wrote disgusting things about a teacher and spread rumours about them that weren't true which caused them to quit, keep disrespecting all the teachers after being told simple instructions and have creepy, stalkerish behavour towards their crushes and act like their crushes not reciprocating are the crushes' fault, getting high, faking disorders for attention, making being queer their entire identity, talking about politics and causing division and not being able to write, spell or even speak properly. not to mention bullying the normal students who behave and do nothing wrong. theres more and its only getting worse.
I'm older Gen Z, I was a freshman in college in 2019. Sadly those kids still exist in college. My intro to Earth Science class went to Mount St. Helen's for the weekend. We were supposed to visit the memorial museum and then go camping. One of the "problem" kids trashed an exhibit in the museum, honoring the geologists who passed away during the volcanoes eruption. Our class got asked to leave and never come back.
Hey I’m gen alpha and honestly my generation sucks too! I feel like the only kid with dignity and kindness
What no one mentions is that there are kids that want to learn in these classes but can’t. When teachers constantly have to fight kids, the classroom turns to chaos. No learning gets done and society will pay the price very soon.
Exactly! My son is extremely well behaved, shy and sticks to himself. He got attacked by a girl (?!) for no reason. He was sitting at his desk doing his work and this little chick randomly attacked him. And guess what happened… this same girl got an award for her great performance at the end of the year… second graders… I wish the future husband/wife of this girl a lot of luck.
Exactly. Literally all the good people suffer in systems like this. I feel horrible for the kids who want to do well and get hurt or abused by all the entitled kids.
I'm lucky I went to a junior high school where students took a test when they came in, and they placed them in a homeroom with students that performed similarly. We took all our classes with the students in our homeroom. You could tell which homerooms were which. I was in the nerdiest one (a few students went on to Ivy League universities). The worst homerooms were in the basement. I remember my homeroom took an Algebra class in 7th grade while some others were taking Math. It was a magnet school that was in a rough neighborhood. Most of the low-performing students were neighborhood kids.
Exactly! There are respectful kids as well who want to actually learn😢I feel sorry for them 😢
Thanks you. As someone who takes their education seriously, those disrespectful children piss me off. During instructional time some kids would always talk over when the teacher was talking. During work time I was okay with goofing off because they weren’t affecting me. They want to fail, they can. But when I was trying to learn and listen to the teacher, I hated it.
This is my favorite teacher quitting story I ever heard (I wasn't there, I'm 38, this is coming from my wife's step-cousin who is 14)- Teacher quit, stormed out, just like you saw in this video, and the kids were laughing; this is what the teacher said- "I have been teaching for a long time, and I don't remember the names or faces of most of the kids I taught. But you know who I remember? My teachers. I remember my teachers. And you'll remember me, and you'll remember this day. For now, and the near future, you'll laugh at me and remember this day as the day you made your dorky teacher quit. But, when I have long forgotten your names and your faces, and you're flipping burgers and digging ditches, you'll remember my name and remember this day. When you're struggling to pay your bills, can't afford rent, can't buy a house, watching your college graduate friends start families and get raises, you'll remember my name and you'll remember this day. When I'm dead and gone, and you're in your 40's and 50's, slowly realizing you'll never retire, never have money, and maybe by then forget my name, you'll remember the day that dorky teacher stormed out of the classroom and quit, called you all losers, and was right about it".

Wow that's unreal. Teacher was a gigachad for that
Damn, I know if they realize it then, those words will hit them soon enough.
That teacher was giving them exactly what they needed to hear THE TRUTH!!! Apparently they aren’t getting it anywhere else.
As a university instructor for a number of years, I probably taught the parents of those currently in public school now. Let me tell you, I have seen this coming for a long, long time. I taught ethics. *Many* years ago, far before the pandemic, I started seeing a significant drop in empathy and care among my own students. It resonates so much to hear that these kids are getting "meaner"-- so were my supposed adults, the ones now raising these little darlings. I cannot even imagine being in a public school environment today. These kids are being raised by wolves. How does anyone learn anything at all?
When I was in school, it was embarrassing if you were rude to a teacher. People looked down on you. There were a couple kids who got kicked out of class but nothing like this. I think we need to bring back shame and embarrassment.
Our society definitely lacks shame, with basically everything. It’s disturbing.

I worked in a high school for 3 years and other schools before that. But I agree. We need to bring shame back. They have absolutely no shame. They’ve proud of being ignorant, disrespectful, etc.
sameee
I'm a Gen Z and still agree we need public shaming.
Apparently schools nowadays don't even write names on the board or have clip charts anymore.
I was a good kid usually, so when I moved down on the clip chart or wrote my name on a board, it was embarrassing and taught me very well to behave better in the future.
I'm gen alpha. I'm 13. I'm turning 14 this summer, and I hate it. I've experienced it all, everything stated here. Disrespect and violence. My parents raised me right, thankfully, and I know basic manners and decency. I love my teachers, so so much. They're the nicest people I've ever met in real life, they're amazing. Yet, they have to raise their voice or get mad because of the kids who don't understand these basic human decency and think it's okay to do whatever they'd like. I'm really tempted to make a bunch of cards for my teachers; just to remind them how much I enjoy their classes, and how much they're respected by me. They put up with enough.
Go for it man. Teachers would appreciate it. Gbu
@@crowsan2871 I was gonna say that too....Go for it, don't hesitate....make their day, and maybe they'll stick around a bit longer
May I make a recommendation? Just a simple “thank you for teaching me.” Everyday goes a LONG way. I made a teacher cry telling her that the first time, and I’m older Gen Z. Started to see this stuff as it was beginning to get worse. Your gratitude towards them would be like giving a dehydrated man in the desert water
I feel the same way, it’s good to know I’m not alone.
Me too I’m very glad I’m not the only one in this world
This is what happens when you teach generations about their rights but not their responsibilities.
thats actually very good point and definitely shows what is happening in this generation.
This it has to be a balance know your rights but also know respect I barely know most of my rights as a 21 year old maybe if schools taught more important stuff like taxes and have mandatory human rights class it would be different. They took our home ed from being important the one class I learned how to do things out of school in the “real world”
I also want to clarify in no way do I think students are right in what their doing it’s ridiculous that bus drivers and teachers also have to parent on top of teaching them.
Not even their rights. They’re just teaching their kids entitlement and to be all about themselves.
@@Jasmine-bn9exyou're gen z, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM
this has definitely been getting bad for a while. my mom was a teacher back in 2008 and a student assaulted her. the school and the district did absolutely nothing and were actually opposed to taking action against the student. it's only gotten worse and now those same kids are raising the next generation.
The worst part is that those kids laughing about teachers leaving don’t realize how powerless they’re going to be if public education goes away. A population of uneducated citizenry is that much easier to rule and control. These kids are digging their own graves and are too ignorant to realize it.
This is everyone's problem. Kids are humanity's future.
GED > Trade > Profit
High school was a waste of time. Interestingly enough, most of my peers who went to uni became the easier to rule and control through indoctrination. Having their opinions suppressed because they never fit the narrative and then bullied into submission. Just because you're uneducated doesn't mean you're stupid.
Very well worded my friend. It’s happening faster than you believe
That's a problem for everyone, not just for kids
Indeed. But I feel like this failure is deliberate.
High school librarian here. A student punched me in the eye because he didn't want to go get a worksheet from a teacher who was expecting him. I didn't yell, etc. He attacked me, then attacked a counselor, then the safety team, and finally, a police officer.
I feel like the only gen. Alpha with kindness! It hurts even more when I remember having a very nice librarian who was extremely kind and I miss her to this day because she even called me out of class to meet her son and she was so polite and kind and her son reflected that.

We had a teacher in culinary school. Imagine a big fat middle aged russian looking dude with a tempter of a coked up bear. He was all about joking and having fun. But when you stepped up to him in any way. Oooooffff good luck man. The story goes he loves throwing keys at people (a big bundle of keys). And one day I had culinary class he was having Server's class in the other room. And you could hear yelling and cussing and the keys quite possibly hitting their intended target. We all respected him. Everyone loved him tho. Every time he'd walk by us we'd all stand up straight and say "Good day! How are you Mr. *his surname*?" He would smile and talk to us asking how we are doing in school. If you said you were doing poor he'd always encourage you. If you had any struggles with Server's classes he'd always invite you to ask him. One of the nicest teachers out there. But make him mad well good luck mate. I seriously think none these gen z gen alpha guys would survive a class with him. Last time I heard he's still ghetto as always hahaha
Wtf librarians are gems in the school every morning in my spare time I go there and I always have a nice conversation with them.
My aunt had a misscarriage because of a violent 4th grader who punched her in the stomach while she was heavily pregnant. She had PTSD from later abuse she also went through after that. Kids are attacking her. 💔
I’m so sorry that happened to her. Kids these days are really awful
WHAT!? I just saw another similar comment with another teacher who was pregnant with her child, and she successfully bailed. There is no way that child was NOT punished for that! If so, we really have a problem here.
Reminds me of a scene from Old Dads, where a boy punched a pregnant woman in the stomach, only the pregnant woman was portrayed as "being in the wrong", because she accused the mother of the boy of not parenting her child (basically the other mom was neglectful and let him do whatever he wanted, so he had behavioral issues). The worst part is that the pregnant woman (aka the victim) actually *apologized* to the evil mother later on in the movie, because she "told her what to do as a parent" and was "out of line". It was horrible.
@@leon4000 People love to dunk on the argument against violent video games, but seriously, as a parent of three and a gamer since childhood, _NO MORE FORTNITE AND CALL OF DUTY FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS._ Seriously. I _guarantee you,_ every single one of these womb-punching monsters learned their sociopathy from shooting a thousand random people on the internet at home.
You shoot a guy, he ragdolls to the ground, you pick up his guns and money and look for the next guy. Endless loop of "just mindless fun." ffs, it utterly disrupts and destroys a kid's formation of an inner sense of the value of life.
@@SomeUA-camTraveler That happens because some parents does not step in to stop children from playing games usually meant for adults. As someone who is a gamer, even I could tell with my autism, that young kids were not supposed to play them until they were old enough and mature. The issue is due to people being too lenient on their kids around these M-rated games, thinking it wouldn't be a problem, which caused this issue. The news media never really points out that lazy parenting is a factor and other kids who were in the know of mature games gives the youth an easy access to mature games which starts with word of mouth and said kid interested goes out to get the game somehow, which if left unchecked, would leave many kids exposed to mature content before they could comprehend what they really have and wonder if they are ready to play it.
I can recall many times I pointed out to some parents about getting their young child those games they are not yet ready for, but often was ignored. One time, I was forced to give a controller to a young baby who was still too young to know how to use a video game controller. Thankfully it was Bomberman, but that "thing" that parents do, is that kind of leniency beyond reason and common sense that ultimately bit them in the rear when a combination of being exposed to content only a mature person can tell apart and not being there for their young child enough or other flawed ideas or beliefs that children began to assume, allowed the children to become unruly and entitled to think the world owes them something.
I'm a child of immigrant Indian parents. They've never hidden the struggle they went through as a child/young adult to get the good jobs they have now. They made it clear to me they wouldn't take disrespect or let me disrespect anyone.
I've always been preforming at levels much higher than mine, I'm taking Honors Math 3 in eight grade, i'm in Honors English 9. But in my grade level classes, it always baffled me how much my fellow peers would get confused on simple things.
I started studying for tests when i didn't get the material in 7th grade. It confused me why other people weren't studying as well, yet still complained about how low their grades were.
They treated school like a game, i treated school as a job.
Last week, for the first time, I was emotionally hurt by one of my students. I teach third grade. Two students wrote "incident reports" to the vice principal, accusing me of all kinds of made-up crimes, such as taking a nap in class, refusing to let kids use the bathroom, and drawing all day instead teaching anything. Today I had students laughing at me, making jokes at my expense. That's something I expect of 7th or 8th grade. It took all of my effort to keep my cool.
In past years, I have come close to walking straight out of school and letting Admin finally deal with the mess. This year I've discovered that a rookie truck driver makes more me. It's time to trade 18 years of teaching experience for 18 wheels.
There are many teachers changing over to truck driving and It careers opposed to tolerating all the disrespect. Best of luck to you!! I ama counselor and I feel the same over how we aren't valued, disrespected, and underpaid.
Maybe teachers need body cams like police have. Then students can't falsely accuse teachers of wrongdoing or incompetence. I think teacher body cams are going to become a necessity in American public schools, like metal detectors and school Resource Officers. Then parents will be able to see on video how their precious special darling is behaving towards his/her teacher in class. An idea whose time has come. Peace and love !
Amen
they are so young that’s crazy. i’m sorry you had to deal with that :(
@Aj43936 Last year a third grader didn't like the book I was reading out loud. He wanted me to read a different book. So he got his mom to strong-arm me, citing the book was "too scary". The next day, the kid bragged about how much Call of Duty he plays.
Im 16 years old graduating this year and the amount of time my class made my teacher leave the classes crying is CRAZY. And still the next day that same teacher is still teaching my class with a big smile. I feel so bad for the teachers who have to suffer everyday teaching immature kids

“A lot of these parents think that school is just daycare” THAT PART!
As a fellow 1995 millennial, I also completely agree that phones should be locked away in those bags at school. It’s too much of a distraction.
I’m absolutely speechless at how bad things have gotten in the public school system.
As a current high school student at one of the better public schools in my school district, last year we were ranked the best school in the district, this year Yondr Bags were introduced and even though our school is one of the better ones, students have continuously broken them and I find that they're really ineffective. For students who listen, it works a little to remove distractions, but oftentimes it's still easy to get distracted in my experience even without my phone. The pouches are good in concept, but in execution they're not too effective (at least in my experience) and cost a lot of money just to be bypassed by students and an inconvenience to students who need their phones out for things such as College Classes (sometimes they're given in high school if you apply for them through the CCP program, which stands for College Credit Plus) and those who may need them in the event of an emergency
dude, it's always been that way, I'm the similar age to yours, it's never worse, it's literally never changed, older generations have always thought of the newer generations as horrible and irresponsible since thousands of years, even the phone thing is just a new distraction, but not an overall new challenge
@@shro_okee Phones are definitely a new, game changing challenge, but I otherwise agree.
Eyo, I get where you are coming from but I feel like location might be a variable as well on teachers being supported by their schools. I never seen a teacher physically assaulted even once in public school. In the same school, today, its regular that we hear students being physical with the teachers. Not saying you are incorrect though - that does happen too.@@shro_okee
Gen Z be like 'ohh they really sus brooo, such mid teachers need to be taugh a lesson!!'
Unfortunately this is 100% true brother. I've been teaching a few years now, and my very first year I broke up a fight and the kid I had separated, who was a freshman at the time, spun around and begin popping me in the face. When I told him its me trying to calm him down, he just kept on going. Busted my lip, and I had a nice shiner for 2 weeks. I took the following day off, came in the next day and there was the kid, sitting in the back of my class pulling the same nonsense that started the fight in the first place with a different kid. He had a one day in-school detention. Had a meeting with the admin team that Friday and I got a reprimand on my record, which my union argued against and got removed, because I "grabbed the kid under his arms in an aggressive manner". Admin didn't even call me the next day to check how I was. My first and only year in that school. Some kids are just little monsters. You can blame their home environment, their upbringing, environmental factors, nurturing factors, or about 10 thousand other things, but it doesn't change the fact they're little monsters who will only get worse as they get older unless they have some serious, one on one, personalized intervention. In effort to "promote inclusion" we've mainstream severe behavioral disorders by sweeping issues like this under the rug because the worst thing that can happen to a kid nowadays is that they "get their feelings hurt" or feel "left out" because they're in a special class away from the regular school population. We're damning a whole generation of kids by thinking that a hug, a juice box, a bag of chips and a smack on the wrist will somehow magically wipe away a lack of impulse control, a lack of boundaries and an inability to control their emotions, language and actions
I'm a retired teacher who worked mostly in alternative education. I taught adult male inmates. I taught kids in mental health facilites and kids who were severely abused. I even taught in a gang-ridden school not too far outside Chicago. None of my students were this ill mannered. That's pathetic. I've seen and put up with a lot (probably more than most), but I would quit too if I had to face this everyday.
The fact that adult inmates were more well mannered is impressive
A few years ago, I was a counselor in a residential treatment center for kids. I later switched to crisis intervention (meaning - dealing with behavior issues) in a public school, and the kids at the RTC facility (who had been removed from their homes for behavioral and mental health problems) were better behaved than the kids at the public school. I stopped working when I had my first child, and I can't even imagine how bad the public school kids must be now.
I was a student in an alternative 'bad kid' school in 2004 and yes, kids would flip out, get restrained etc.. but the majority of the students were doing their best to remain orderly because THEY KNEW THAT THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES for acting out!!! We had target sheets that would rate our behavior 1 being the worst 4 being the best and if you really f**ked up, you'd be sent to the youth center aka: juvenile hall..😳😳 these days it's basically a free for all...
Really sucks for literally everyone, including the kids and they don't even know it..😞😞😞
I was a 5th grade teacher after being a corrections officer for 2 years. One day , I would send someone to the office for punching an Autistic Kid. But the kid was sent back to my classroom with no repercussions. However, I got in trouble and fired from admin, for “not making my lessons engaging and for saying ‘guys’ because it’s not gender neutral. And that was my one month experience as a teacher and last.
PS: the inmates were much respectful than these students and if they acted out, there were consequences!

During HS my school keep having to replace the choir teacher because kids where awful during class, but everyone took choir because it was an easy A class. I hear a few years after I graduated, they went through like their third choir teacher in three years. So they hired a teacher that was a prison choir instructor. I guess they stopped having kids treat it like a joke class after that point.

As a kid in Year 8, I don’t feel safe in my school, teachers have to constantly deal with troublemakers, intense swearing, sexual jokes and a lack of shame. They view bullying teachers to the point they leave or break as a fun thing and they’ll do it because they think it makes them look cool. Shame and embarrassment does not exist to these kids because they always use tiktok comebacks ‘Oh but it’s my property!! You can’t take it from me!! I’ve tell the cops you’re stealing’ They say while spraying kids who want to learn with water guns and playing Brawl Stars in class, they know more tiktok comebacks than simple sentences that they can read.
The only shame they have in school is towards the kids who want to learn, disabled kids and neurodivergent kids. I have been called more slurs than I can count because I am a weird kid to them, I have reported them numerous times yet their parents have done absolutely nothing about it. I’m still getting bullied and their parents won’t even turn their attention to their kids while they celebrate getting a fucking 8/100 in tests
I was a teacher for 16 years, I quit in 2021. There's no way I'd be able to take that level of disrespect and handle it in a way that wouldn't get me fired.
What you think these kids are going to be like in 10 years. Our future is so f'd
I'm gonna be that annoying guy and say that the current education system is simply too outdated and are no longer suitable for our modern time. This education system is doomed to collapse anyway, but the question is, what will replace it?
@@subliminalfalllenangel2108 school is supposed to teach you basics and life skills. Getting along, following rules, and societal norms. The system isn't outdated. The system is not doing what it was designed to do thanks to modern parenting and teachers not being allowed to discipline so they can teach.
Honestly we should bring back homeschool as a normal way to be educated. I was both homeschooled and attended public school and I learned so much more and much faster at home than I did in a room full of other people talking.
Also, think about what is expected of you as a teacher. No one has the time to teach their kids manners or "common sense" because parents expect YOU to do it, which is crazy and unfair right? It's not the teacher's job to raise someone else's kids for them yet you are expected to. This is what our society has come to: their desk job is worth more than educating their own children about how to live in this world. It's very bizarre and I can't recommend public school to anyone.
@@Tailionis and what is your definition of parenting and discipline here anyway? All the knowlegde and wisdom of gen X(the parents) when applied to the modern world is inadequete, and even somewhat redundant/useless. And if the education system really works, then why do we even need discipline in the first place? Would punishing the kids for their wrongdoings be even the correct response or turn them into better people?
Surely since we have disciplined children since time immemorial, our modern time should have been brighter than what we have nowadays, correct? So what is with all the doom and gloom that Gen Y and Z and even gen Alpha often complain about? Is it just because they are young/kids and are abunch of ungrateful/lazy bast**d?!

Oh my gosh, yes! When I was in high school 10+ years ago, I remembered there were these two girls (in my child development class) that were asked to put their phones away. They didn’t listen. Our teacher got fed up, and told the girls to give her their phones. And the two of them had a FIT. There was no need for that. Just let the teacher take your phone, and then you can get it back at the end of class. Why is this so hard for them to comprehend?
I call them their "pacifiers." 😅
@@ashwahnee that makes so much sense
It's not just the students. A lot of the parents are also addicted to their phones, and the kids pick up on what they see the adults around them do
Im 29, i was in high school just over 11 years ago and its crazy how much has changed in that time. If you showed up high or were disrespectful, you would get thrown out and either sent home or forced to do your homework in a room alone. If you alone in a room with no one to talk to, no phone either you would get so bored you would do your homework. If you were being disruptive, you getting thrown tf out and sent home with detention.
Does detention even exist anymore? We even had kids sent to a special school for kids who were bad if they were really bad. From what i hear, that school was hell and they dont play around at all over there.
detention kinda exists but most of the kids who get it are the people who need more hours because they skip so much. whenever anyone at my high school would do anything even moderately bad and they weren't notoriously known for being bad and then for some reason absolutely pampered for it then you basically got solitary confinement for days. you would SOMETIMES get your work sent to you and you were supposed to sit in a tiny cubicle, awake, for the entire day. they were also supposed to take phones, but i think the coaches that supervised it usually had more empathy than to remove the only thing that could possibly keep you sane in there. i just think it was a really crappy system to discipline kids especially for stuff you could just talk about but instead they'd make sure to shame you in an office for an hour and then stick you in ISS for the better part of a week
I think the adults are doing this too. In society, to one another, increasingly so. The adults do it in the streets, on the busses, in friendships, at work, on the news, in stores - bullying, assault, entitlement, slander, backstabbing, emotional and verbal abuse. As an older gen z, I’ve been noticing this more and more. There’s more cruelty out here. The adults are more cruel and more entitled. People bullying customer service workers and posting it, etc. I left a bad situation with that person revealing to me her frame of mind for the behavior: “we don’t owe anyone anything.”
The adults are worse out here, too.
I’m in my early twenties and only have two meaningful relationships besides my MOTHER, because none of us can communicate like adults. None of us can talk without hurting someone, whether that be through gossip or right to our faces. It’s like we don’t know how to love.
We’re so depressed and want to make everyone else depressed. The main thing I got bullied for in high school was being too HAPPY. I got socially ostracized by 90% of the school because I laughed and smiled too much, I wish I was kidding.
It’s to the point where I just block people after the first red flag. No do overs, no second chances. I’ve started listening when people tell me who they are, and I’d rather be friends with shadows than be friends with snakes.
In he 80',s I worked in a residential school for high school age with multiple disabilities. Behavior that would've gotten an emergency psych visit back then is now seen in Congress on a regular basis. No, you're observations are dead accurate.
Yup, our culture is degrading faster and faster.
That's because of the school system. We have created a system that has kids learn from kids. We used to have kids learn from adults. As a result of this, people are acting less and less mature.
Nah dealing with millennials and older is way more bearable than dealing with Gen Z lmao. Boomers are the only ones that give y’all a run for your money.

I felt so bad for her. Another teacher came in to scold everyone and the class was silent as a funeral for two days.
I graduated in 2018 and I remember how much of a shitshow my school was. Teachers that were unprofessional, unhelpful, and unfair.

Becauae their kid goes home and lies on the teacher. Probably telling their parents all kinds of lies and wind up their parents.
As a teacher, this is all true. Admin are afraid of parents. These kids are being passed, getting 70s with so many absences & not doing a dang thing. We are graduating these kids expecting them to be functional in society which is SCARY
Just goes to show that the school system as well as the parents are both equally useless seemingly. No parents, school system already sucks as it stands now they just let them pass so they don't have to deal with them anymore. The schools don't care. They are going through the motions. Parents don't care. They cannot because both parents are working. Cannot bond with your child when both parents are dying slowly from work and have no energy for their kid or anything else.
Parenting only works properly when the mother is home with the children. Dad goes out and makes money and leads the household.
I disagree. Teachers aren't scared of.parents. They are brazen when they speak to you and don't even respond half the time. They know there's a teacher shortage and more than likely won't be fired.
I have 3 friends who are teachers and they say the same thing, Admin don't want to deal with the parents. You have children raising children.
TikTok is the new teacher. A digital teacher that is influence all kids and HS. Got to love social media. Its destroying the very fabric of civilization, we are becoming Mad Max in real time.
yup
the parents need to be held responsible for their childs behavior and attitude, not just in schools, but everywhere, shopping malls, restaurants, everywhere.
I’ve had this idea as well - up until a certain age (I don’t know how we would determine what age) parents are held somewhat accountable for their child’s behaviour. Parents get fines, detentions, etc., etc.
parents held responsible with fines or more until the child is of legal adult age, by then the child should have been taught respect, manners, empathy , how to read, how to act in public, you know, parents doing their job of parenting their child and helping them be ready for life living on their own. and teachers need more powers of control than they have now, what about secure lockers or places where phones have to be put so students do not have them in class.

Funny how it's only enough of a problem to be dealt with when it's the TEACHERS that have to deal with it though, shows that they think all of the students they teach aren't worth being treated like humans.

I was in middle school in the 90s and in all gifted classes. We too made an evil substitute cry. We were well behaved and good kids and she tortured us. We finally had enough and let her have it right back.
It only takes ONE disruptive student to destroy the efforts to educate the entire class. All the students feel unsafe and suffer. And that time is almost impossible to make up.
I can confirm this as a quiet kid in school that regularly had to submit to class punishments stemming from the behavior of a few unruly fellow students.
It was a big reason why I developed such a negative impression of the classroom environment itself for a while.
I heard that the disruptive child must stay in the class with the rest thats fair i hear.
When I started teaching in 1991 there was usually one difficult child in each class, sometimes two. By the time I retired in 2021 it was a third to half of the class acting up and/or being uncooperative constantly.
@kpegc as a popular kid, couldn't agree more there's always that one kid/friend group that ruins everything
This is the main reason I quit teaching in 2020 after 5 yrs. I spent more time disciplining the kids than I did teaching them. I remember going home crying because of how disrespectful some of them were. And when you try to raise your concerns over their behavior and how it is affecting everyone, you have no support from your admin or parents. The mental/ emotional distress is just not worth $12 an hour.
That's NOT enough. No one can survive on that salary.

New teacher here! And yes kids being behind by full grade levels is so true!! A lot can be the reasons like learning disabilities, what goes on at home, trauma, a lot. It boggles me everyday because I’m constantly reminded of the level that I was in their grade level and how majority of the kids today are not on that same level too. I’m still learning of course but I just hope that I can help in getting them up at least one grade level before experiencing any of the violent stuff that happens in classrooms due to increasingly bad behavior.
Also it’s hard sometimes being a new teacher because any type of discipline issues is often put on us because we “haven’t learned classroom management” yet but it still is not an excuse for any of these students to be acting the way they have in those videos.
born in ‘98, graduated in ‘16. it wasn’t like this when i was in school. something has gone horribly wrong in the past few years
You just went to a good school. It most certainly happened before, during, and after you were in school. Remember that Amanda Todd was a student during that time period.
I graduated in 2019. It was not that great BUT I do believe post pandemic it got very bad. A lot of parents simply dropped the ball in 2020
Just a little older than you (born 1996, graduated 2015) and I agree.
I moved schools a lot, but it was consistently understood that the teacher is the authority.
We did have some kids that caused havoc and weren't handled, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it is today. Hell, even when I was in SpEd for "emotionally disturbed youth", violence and disrespect was not accepted. You try to throw something? You get put in isolation until campus security or your counselor can handle you.
My cousins are teachers, and they're absolutely broken. One is a science teacher who loves his job, but it retiring this year. He keeps snakes in his classroom and a 13 year old student threw one of the terrariums to the ground. Snake was not hurt (thank God), but my cousin broke.
Other cousin is a STEAM teacher and has dealt with 15 year olds who don't know what 2³ equals. She's had parents complain that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is too violent of a title and she should remove it from the curriculum.
My little cousins have horror stories aplenty from their time in school.
It's absolutely insane.
@@J0eMegashe said it wasn't like this not that it was perfect. I was born the same year '98 and graduated in '16. My schools were not like this and no I didn't go to the best schools or that good of schools either. Yeah bullying has and sadly will always be a thing happening but throwing chairs at teachers and punching them in the face didn't happen in any I went to or heard from schools that friends went to. Kids today are q different beast 😂
im not gonna lie, part of it is because some of the parents have told their children dont take shit from anyone, rightfully so as some teachers have been/abused their power .. but the line between standing up for yourself and realizing maybe your teacher ISNT an actual demon teacher and wants the best for you wasnt defined clearly enough...
Additionally, its not just a blatant disregard for rules and consequences, kids simply dont care about the reppercussions they get.. the bars for misconduct have been raised so high that things from getting your phone/devices taken away, suspensions, beatings, and expulsions dont even really have the intended effect anymore.. you can argue once they have devices taken away theyll calm down, but the thing is, when you have so many of those students in an area without virtual devices they will find OTHER ways to entertain themselves; even if its at the expense of others :(
I taught for 6 months then put in my resignation. I never expected it to be that bad but when the kids just straight tell you to “go f*** yourself” day in and day out. I’m not helping anyone and the pay is a joke so why stay?

It is 100% the parents fault. No excuses. This is why I homeschool my child. Not because of public school teachers, but because I know my child can’t learn in a room full of disrespectful kids.
I agree completely. We need to really start having serious discussions about Millennial parents, this permissive parenting style affects more than just their own children. We all have to put up with the negligence of these iPad parents who refuse to put their children in their places.
If I ever have kids they're definitely being homeschooled. I will not tolerate any of the BS that public schools are allowing.

My law teacher actually had to send the whole class out because of disrespectful behaviours just so he could have a mental break. He is one of the kindest, funniest, most patient teachers and he is beloved by EVERYONE, yet he had to tell a whole class to take a walk around the school’s perimeter just so he could get a mental break. Obviously, no one walked the perimeter but myself and my friend, but that really shows that he was at his limit
I’m 16 and I’m actually disappointed for the other students around me. I’ve witnessed 3 of my teachers quit their job because of my classmates and they were my favorite too. I’m genuinely upset with my generation and I feel bad for what these teachers go through.
You should feel bad about yourself. Theyre going to drag you down with them and youll start falling behind too. Watch how your favorite teachers get replaced by people who dont know how yo teach or dont get replaced at all. Good luck.
And I hate my generation too and I’m disappointed aswell
I’m 17 and graduating this year. I’m tired of it. It’s stupid, irritating and draining. Just come to school, shut up and do your work. It’s not hard. So glad I’m graduating this year!!!!
Self-educate, the fact you see the issue and are aware of it - you are already ahead. So focus on yourself, on your skillset..you have a good head on your shoulders dont let it be misted. If you see your classmates as losers, reality is - most of them will stay losers. Media LOVES to sell the story of stupid kids becoming millionaires... yea maybe 1/10 000 000, reality is most of them will start drugs or alcohol and never get their life together. So dont underestimate this time, coz this is the only time in your life the government is giving you time to build up who you are and what you want. Those kids are wasting it and before they realize it they will be asked to work and pay taxes with no skillset and no discipline. Life truly aint that difficult if you follow the steps that are pre-drawn for you - the ones who wanna constantly take shortcuts are the ones who often fall too deep.
This generation is doomed fr
100% its the parenting. I'm a 1993 Millennial with 3 children (5, 3, and 9 months) who homeschools. I got my teaching degree but right as I was entering the school system I married my husband who was homeschooled and with lots of conversations, we decided we'd do the same for our kids.
My 5 year old is probably at a 2nd grade reading level at this point because she loves it so much but I care more about how my children treat others than what level of education they're on.
Case in point, my 3 year old is quite the spit fire, she's not one to follow rules the first go like her older sister but you can bet we teach consequences for your actions.
Yesterday we were at swim lessons and I noticed my daughter (along with other kids in her class) were running away from the teacher instead of listening and following instructions. Us parents aren't allowed to intervene unless called over so I waited until class was done. My daughter runs up to me and I tell her she was being disrespectful to her teacher and her teacher's time by running away instead of learning. I then told her we are going to walk over to her and apologize for being disrespectful and because of this she will not be getting her 10 minutes of tablet time today. (I am EXTREMELY strict on tablet times and what my kids play - basically only educational games haha)
Today, my daughter was listening even when others were being crazy. The teacher had to chase after other Gen Alpha kids while my daughter stood and waited.
KIDS CAN BE TAUGHT TO BE RESPECTFUL IN A GENTLE WAY.
Obviously I know kids will not be perfect and they have bad days, there's grace for that, but my gosh, I fear for my children when they go to colleges or work later in life.
@ImLilacMoon tracing letters, matching shapes, word finds, addition problems, counting games 🤷♀️
@ImLilacMoonMost kids at the ages of 5-7 have very low 10-15 minute attention span in activities. While I was doing my practicum classes, we would specifically design class activities that would not be longer than 15-20 minutes and exchange to another one in order for them to not get fatigued or bored. So I can see it working
My brother is a 1993 millennial, and he has only 2 sons.
you sound like an amazing parent. i hope both future and current parents will learn from people like you
I am a 1995 Millennial and similarly got my teaching degree but did not teach after graduating. However, I also have not yet married (although I would love to be a SAHM and homeschool my kids eventually). Thank you for providing a perspective of how you teach your kids and have navigated your life. I have really struggled to find another career outside teaching that is family friendly. I am one of these people who is not career oriented but needs to find a way to sustain myself and contribute to my future family, which can be difficult to accomplish.
Bad kids are a problem of course, but a lack of power to punish is also an issue. Schools literally cant expel students anymore.
Not true my friend’s daughter was just expelled for going to school drunk… she is not enrolled right now because the school district doesn’t want her there. This same city put her daughter on the boys side because she identifies as a boy in juvenile detention even though her mother wanted her on the girls side.
@rachelharmon6489 maybe whwre youre at which is a blessing. But he not lying, in our school we have to damn near apply to expel. We have hearings just for suspensions
1, not true; punishments are still a thing, trust me, and 2, for the good it's gonna do. Poor behavior like this 9 times out of 10 stem from something else, something punishments aren't gonna solve. The only thing punishments are gonna do is make *you* fell better, not help the kid.
@MiketheNerdRanger no it is very true. Yall must not be teachers, different districts are ran different ways, alot of politics in education. Some schools and districts are ran better than others, but majority of teachers and even students are speaking up and showing that there is indeed an issue. Kids have been goin thru stuff at home since the beginning of time, and now they have more resources than ever.
being expelled most of the times only hurt the student more, its a bad type of punishment that doesnt help anyone. @@rachelharmon6489
Wife used to work in public schools. They had a meet the teachers night and only one kids grandmother came and no one else ( in a school of 200+ students) it really broke her heart and made her realize that the parents just saw her school as free daycare. Put in her two weeks later that year.
My best friend quit teaching last year and won’t return because while pregnant, she had a violent student at kindergarten age that would go after her. They’d target her stomach on purpose. She got zero help from admin. They kept telling her that it was something she needed to do and it was only her in that classroom. They didn’t even give her a para to at least help her. They left her on her own.
Has she ever considered any sort of legal action?
This has hostile work environment and an unreasonable level of danger written all over it.
@@kpegc So in business, corporate, and private work this is true. Because this is government the rules do not apply to them. Any company that operated the way the education system treats teachers would be sued into oblivion but they make teachers sign contracts that basically makes them sub humans. Also, the teachers union works against teachers who try to stand up.
Seems the teachers need to make a new union.
Oh boy. That is seriously wrong on all accounts. Especially when kids don't realize the consequences of causing injury to the mother and the baby...I get the fact that some teachers may not have the qualities needed to do more than keep their cool plus low pay and other problems. But having kids to run wild and violent with useless admin to help, which leads to more serious complications is something that can't be answered with ignorance. It's always something with either the school staff for some who are useless, some of the teachers who go into this career lacking qualities believing it's easy pay, only to find rude kids and their nerves pushed to the limit, and poor parents who don't discipline their child enough to know what's acceptable and what's not. The school system is getting worse, and these guys do the same things repeatedly that gets nowhere. One thing is for sure, some people don't want the responsibility for solving the problem thoroughly. It makes me glad I graduated in 08, but I think I did notice things were getting nuts in the schools I went to. It would dread me that the Gen Z and Alpha students in my old schools are worse than my generation. Of course, I can't claim that until I visit my schools again and get some answers.
Something that isn’t spoken on enough is that too much tolerance breeds intolerance.

Hey gen z here, I would really like to apologize about these kids, seeing these story’s and experiencing this I understand your stress.
It's not your fault, but remember it's also not necessarily theirs. It's a combination of things, but the 2 biggest ones for me are how outdated the Education System is repeating and recycling the same information over and over again, and Parents who just throws a screen at their babies and expect them to grow up by themselves off of Logan Paul (who is a Scammer and an Idiot lol). We need actual changes to happen to the Education System in order for society to move forward, cause Teachers don't deserve to get paid below Minimum Wage.

@@hiiihiii2175not the OP but my late sister was a teacher for three years before quitting. She switched into teaching at a juvenile detention center instead because the pay was better and discipline was actually enforced.

Watching how some of my classmates treat the teachers always made me sad. I understand teachers can be cruel but even the kindest and reasonable teachers are having to deal with spoiled, rowdy, kids. I feel so bad.
When I was in high school, there is the most kindest teacher and she's very patient, but the students treat her like shit and it makes her crying and leave the class
@@chibi_okamiI had a teacher like this too, and she was so sweet. I think about her a lot too because I never had such a sweet, compassionate and understanding woman, truly the embodiment of femiminity. But students would constantly walk over her and I remember having feelings of anger not only towards the students but also towards her because I truly looked up to her and she NEVER defended herself or was able to be firm in getting the class under control. I still have love for her and I truly hope that things have gotten better for her. But I understand your feelings of feeling bad for teachers relentlessly being bullied by literal children on a daily basis.
Literally
Honestly..
i know right...
I'm so tired of hearing people say "You're a teacher, you're supposed to teach."
Teachers are just people. And so many of these kids are IMPOSSIBLE to deal with. The parents absolutely should be held accountable.
When I was in high school, if someone attacked a teacher, most of the guys in the class wouldn't hesitate to get up and hold them back. They might have even beat them up right there.
I cannot imagine being able to look at a teacher who's genuinely PISSED at everyone, and laugh. I can't imagine being anything but uncomfortable.
The students are beyond awful, the teachers are fed up, and the higher ups aren't doing anything.
Funny enough when I was in school teachers would tell us they werent there to teach us, but to give them an opportunity to learn...therefore when you were struggling they would tell you that it was a "you problem"
Teachers aren't the only people who should be teaching their kids either. Parents need to step tf and stop assuming teachers can fix their kids. That behavior results from home life, not school.
i agree same sentiment with my school @@sookendestroy1
If the kid can't adsorb the material, its not the teachers fault. Its auge parents for not checking the children's homework!
The problem is you can't teach when there are severe behaviors. If a kid hits a teacher or throws a chair, there's no learning that day. Even the most self motivated kid can't focus in that environment.
I'm a millennial, graduated high school in 2004. Bad behavior was not tolerated in school. I went to a very large public school in Oregon (about 300 students in my grade). Students with bad attitudes were not going to ruin the class for everyone else. If it ended in expelling them, they could get their GED or get a job.
Bingo. I graduated high school three years after you. We may have been the generation to be introduced to shiny technology and we were lambasted for our “materialism” (I’ve got a rage essay on that for another day bc I call BS on that). You know what we learned that Gen Z and apparently Gen Alpha haven’t? That actions have consequences. We millennials understand that playing stupid games means you get stupid prizes.
Getting yelled at by the nerdy jock to "shut the hell up" cause your disrupting the class is something that never will happen anymore sadly.
2004 graduate as well. Never understood why a large number of kids who are disrespectful and bad around out number the kids who want to learn. I try a little harder each year to get away from the troublesome students but every year I’m still stuck with them. Every day it’s a kid who pushes the teachers buttons or a bunch of them causing problems.
@@beckyweiss6072I’m a jr in high school right now and we do still learn this from our parents however there are many parents that don’t teach their kids which leads to the lessons you’re talking about. I honestly hate these kids and really agree that some people need to be actually visited by police has this is learned behavior. People in the outside don’t care what you are going through and expect you to behave. This should be the same in school and when they don’t behave you call parents and talk and if it doesn’t get better someone in power needs to talk to them.
300 kids in your class was large? I graduated in 2001 and we had a thousand kids in my class. But everything else you said is 100% accurate. My friend got expelled from school for having a crowbar in his locker. We had a no tolerance policy. And it was only 5 years later that my school was no longer allowed to go to another school for sporting events because we'd start riots. That's how quickly it went bad.
It's called enabling because the idea of discipline or administering any kind of accountablity might be construed as "abuse" and therefore make the school liable to lawsuits...
I just can’t believe we have let this happen as society. If parents don’t want to do their job, then stop having kids. Parents have a nerve to get offended when someone confronts them about their child’s behavior and then they just continue to pass on that entitled behavior to their child.
Unfortunately, kids are the product of unprotected intercourse. People who don’t care enough to use protection when they don't want kids are subsequently those who won’t care enough to raise their kids right
Teachers have some nerve to groom children into the LGBT lifestyle. Teachers think that they surpass the parents in these children's lives. Maybe is school wasn't so heavy handily compulsory you would get students that want to learn
@SoulforSale Momma never told you not to believe everything you see on TV, huh?
This is a perfect representation of the issue. These kids are being told they don’t have to respect anyone cuz parents and teachers cannot even respect each other.
@@CloverkittyIf adults are being misled, certainly so are the children. Children innately pick up on bullshid.
I was an Art major in college. Everyone assumed I was going to become a teacher. I said "HELL NO!". I saw what the art teachers had to put up with in High School. Those teachers had half the class that wanted to be there. The other half was the horrible students that noone else wanted because they are so disruptive that they just stuck them in art class, "they just draw right, just let them draw". No they would be the kids the teacher would have to babysit all semester. And once they took away detention and never brought that back after Covid that was the klincher. I'm a State Worker now and do art on the side. It's crazy right now. And its embarrassing that millenials (my generation) is showing their colors as the worst parents. I thought we would be better given the "trauma" they all seem to deal with on TikTok. No they apparently turned into little yes parents and never said no to their kid, doesnt parent at all and give them the tablet and lets them do whatever they want. It's making Boomers look pretty good, yes they gave their kids trauma but at least that generation knows how to work for shit and respect others.
I'm in my upper 40s now. A few years ago I took a local college art class. One of those independent study types. What a difference from before and after 2020. When I could go back, the new batch of kids would talk during lecture. They made a mess of the studio and wouldn't clean. Some of them moved my belongings if I was working on a project and they wanted the space to themselves. One of the doors would auto lock, and so as a courtesy people were supposed to answer if you knocked. Not these kids. You'd have to call the school security even though you could see them through the window.
Eventually realized it was best going in at 8am. The one time you'd never see them.
I mean, the boomers raised the shitty millenial parents so...
I am horrified by how most of our millennial generation just do not bother to parent anymore and allow the internet to do it for them through an ipad/smartphone…
I cant have my own kids due to severe physical health issues.. however if i did have some - I certainly wouldn’t allow an ipad to raise them. I would parent them how I was parented…. I am actually glad my bro and his wife seem to have decided to not have kids - based off the lack of training they have given the Corgi they got in 2019 - the child would grow up a complete demon-child like these……
I could not agree more
When I was in high school, if a student disrespected the art teacher, the teacher would literally ask if they wanted to take it outside and duke it out. He’d likely get fired for that now, and even though he was an old man, no one took him up on his offer.
I’m a school custodian, and one year I was working at the High School, I spoke with a neighbor that was by the school and got into a conversation about the behavior of today’s youth. I made the comment, “It’s a shame that kids don’t have respect towards their elders.” And the gentleman replied, “It’s not the lack of respect, it’s the lack of fear of authority.” That hit home. These kids are not even afraid of police when they are in trouble. Makes you think, where did we all get it wrong?
It’s the neglectful and overly gentle parenting. Very well could be abusive parenting as well. Kids aren’t use to getting punished at home, or they see no other way to express themselves than be a menace and repeat the treatment they face at home.
Social media now doesn’t help much either, considering these kids top influence is awful and degenerate behavior.
Okay, fear shouldn’t be the goal here. You shouldn’t be AFRAID of authority figures. That just makes it easy to be abused. My mother taught me how to respect authority figures, how to recognize abuse, and did all that without hurting me.

@@N0EL-7007I was a zoomer born from a Gen X mom. She raised me to take no bullshit, but only with its being given to me. She taught me that respect can be given but don’t bother if it isn’t given back. So I had teachers I respected and some that I didn’t. Still followed the rules and didn’t cause any fights. Yet on my last year, the younger gen started really getting violent. I remember the shock when I heard an old teacher (a school fav) got cuffed and walked out when a girl accused him of the bad touch. He didn’t by the way, she admitted she was lying for attention and in return got her shit rocked by a lot of students. What a world

14:38 I had this issue in 1993. Back then I was a substitute teacher for “army brats“. There was no respect and no regard for property or people. One student took my car keys off my desk and threw them in the outside garbage can when I wasn’t looking. No one would confess or help me find them, it took half a day to find them. Another student lit the locker outside of my classroom on fire, neither one was reprimanded or punished. Admin did not talk to the parents. I was blamed as the teacher for not being aware that these things were happening to me. It was enough to give up my dream of being a teacher. I completely understand what these teachers are going through right now. It is sad that it is happening everywhere and not just “army brats“…
As a Navy brat, we do not claim the oorah-ers.
As an air force brat, we do not condone the ooh-rahers
I graduated this year. We watched some of our favorite teachers quit my last year because of the disrespect from students. There was this one couple that i had a class with that was constantly disruptive and made the whole class much worse. Everytime we'd watch a movie they'd always complain that it wasn't the one they wanted. We lost class privileges because of them and kids who wanted to learn couldn't because they can't keep their mouth shut. It was straight deplorable. I feel so bad for Gen A kids that are going to constantly deal with not only the stigma but the awful people they're going to be forced to grow up with.
One time some kid was trying to yap out the teacher to run the clock in English class, and I wasn't having it cause I really wanted to learn about the subject at hand (it was Beowulf and it was awesome).
I'm not even joking when I say I turned to him and told him to STFU, the teacher took me out of class, and then proceeded to tell me "hey, I wanted to tell him that too, but watch your mouth."
Didn't even get written up for it 🤣
I taught for 6 years and left after I was physically assaulted and the kid wasn't expelled and I was forced to teach him the rest of the year. That was my breaking point. He slammed me against the white board and an ambulance was called because I lost consciousness. He gave me a concussion. I had to walk into that class everyday for months wondering if he was going to be set off again and he would hurt me or another student. This was about 10 years ago, he was 12 at the time. He had defiant explosive disorder but wasn't diagnosed until he was about to go to high school. He was extremely remorseful and he wasn't shining me on with that. He knew he couldn't control his anger but his parents refused to get him help because they were worried that would follow him throughout his life. I ended up working with him so he could give me a heads up when he felt like he was losing control so we could calm him down. When he was moving up a grade, I spoke to his teacher and taught him how we handled it since it seemed to work. The school and his parents failed him and me. He will be graduating college this year and he's gotten a lot of therapy and worked through a lot of stuff. He is a good kid but that situation shouldn't have happened. His parents should have gotten him the help he needed when he asked for it and under no circumstances should I have been forced to continue to teach him after he assaulted me. That was unfair to us both.
12?! That's insanity. How was cps not called to figure out how a child is that aggressive?! I'm so sorry that happened to you

PBIS must go. All districts need to modify their behavior plans. Sooner rather than later. In our district there are no more "tickets" for write ups. It's going to get worse before it gets better. It's already awful.
As a teacher and someone who now teaches parenting classes, I need to say: there is something in between hitting children to force them to obey and letting them get away with anything and everything. It’s called setting boundaries and giving logical consequences. But I think a lot of parents are so afraid of being mean to their kids that they can’t make themselves do it. Parents, with love, I have to say: it’s ok for your kids to be mad at you. It’s ok for them to hate you for a little while because you took away their tablets. Ultimately, they’ll love you more if you love them enough to hold them to high standards. You’ve got this!!

"Free to do what you want as long as you don't harm anyone!"
Then parents and teachers lost the will to give the kids tough love, and now we have this situation, everywhere around the globe.
@CraytorRealOf course it’s a combination, but it’s starts at home with parents. If parents aren’t making sure that kids learn action/consequence and don’t help enforce what schools are telling them then kids are going to get worse.
I remember we NEVER disrespect our teachers back in my high school years. If we do, off to the office we go. The problem is that the students are NOT getting erough punishment. They need to be disciplined.
Every teacher should sue the parents of the child who is abusive towards teachers. Then parents will have no choice but to make it clear that abusive behavior at school towards teachers is not ok. It not ok for teachers to be abusive either.
Now this is a good idea
Teachers are just as abusive but it's under reported and buried because of the teacher shortage. Teachers are only fired if they are caught doing something criminal which is why they get away with it for awhile before finally caught. I take it they don't believe they'll ever be punished.
@@Andrina-fl9ef Teachers should not be abusive to children either. Vise versa. Abuse is not ok
@@Andrina-fl9ef Look at all the teachers who grape students in the media.
They can't. You can sue the district but that's like getting a cop convicted. Teachers' hands are tied meticulously fashion is impressive how well the system is setup to cover its own tracks. My wife documented a physical assault and she got in trouble and told not to report those things because it makes them look biased. so reporting actual events is biased?!
My Dad was in the education system for 34 years. He retired last year. He keeps in contact with all of his old teachers and they're all quitting due to the students. Its not just a few trouble makers, its now half of the school..
My sister became a teacher in 2020 and quit a yr later. It was so bad. The students were horrible. The things they would do and say we’re horrendous and sexual and harassing. I felt so bad for her. Her mental health was deteriorating. I watched her change into a different person.
Oh god, yes, the sexual assault is horrible! I was a teacher but quit after a few months bc i couldnt stand LITERALLY seeing teachers getting punched in the face
I was never assaulted, but my (teacher) friend's coworker got asked really sexual perverted questions and the student was sent to the office, then immediately sent back bc the office was full of "worse" kids
of course, he was laughing the whole time and acting like a bad*ss bc he never got in trouble
Never never major in Education...
This is what nurses go through. It’s not the patients. They abuse us. That’s always a given and it’s not tolerated to a point. The Managment allows other staff to abuse other staff. Cert Nursing Assistants in LTCs run the homes, meaning they run off nurses all the time. Managment refuses to correct them like before because the CNAs are paid so low they can’t find anyone to do it. So Managment placates the CNAs abx they learn they can be mean and still get a paycheck. The harassment and abuse is causing nurses to quit now. It’s not burnout from patients. This is different. It’s like Managment created a situation which they don’t work on the floor and don’t care.. all they know it work$.
@@FirstnameLastnames Trust me, it gets worse. I could literally type out a bunch of nasty things that have been said to teachers
There was a pregnant teacher who had a student threaten to punch her in the stomach, and then admin asked the teacher what SHE (the teacher) did wrong (not the student)
Another student promised to make sure a different pregnant lady landed face first after she (the pregnant lady) got pushed down some stairs "in an accident"
There was literally a bomb/shooting threat and the school didnt want to go into lockdown bc it would "scare the kids" (this was before uvalde, and i bet things are different now). luckily the cops found the people, and it turns out the kids didnt even go to the school anymore.
My best friend had to call the police on her daughter's class back in 2004. The kids were throwing pencils at a young teacher these kids were in 7th grade. The teacher was asking for help from the principal and he was hiding in his office. The vice principal threatened to beat my friends butt in the parking lot. Because she dared to call the police.
I'm a Gen Z with a Gen Alpha sister and honestly I'm grateful my parents raised me correctly. I don't like some of my classmates and I feel so sorry for the teachers who are forced to take care of them daily, and just knowing there's nothing I can do but pray that kids are raised better. 😞
Not suspending or expelling kids for bad behavior is wild, it effectively leaves the teachers powerless and without any real support. Especially with younger grades where a student having to stay home due to suspension often means the parent has to take time off work, which is usually a better way to get lazy/hands-off parents to actually parent their kids. Sad that it takes hitting them in the wallet to get them to actually do something, but its better than the current state of things.
Not related to your comment but I hope people see this… without education it will be hard for these kids to have jobs and be able to fend for themselves. They want the next generation to be rely on the government. Looks up the law they passed on universal income a few years back. I doubt they would sign something like that unless they plan to use it in the future. Probably has to do with CBDC’s…. No conspiracy just an observation.
Why is nobody talking about the quality of teachers we have? I know several high schools where there's teachers addicted to meth, having sex with teenage STUDENTS and paying for it. The highschool I went to someone got some of their scalp pulled out and all the teacher could do was flail her arms yelling. They are quite useless. We learn NOTHING. No one teaches you federal laws. It makes literally no sense if we are supposed to "abide by the laws". Our parents teach us nothing because that's the teacher's job, ok but they're not going to teach us meaningful life skills. Just homeschool ur kids if you care about them
@@hinkle3634 I started witnessing some of this as I graduated from High School not too long ago. In Elementary school and even during Middle School where there were a lot of kids were needlessly causing trouble ended up getting getting suspended some of course getting kicked out, and if it came to grades that was another thing as well since I witnessed some friends of mine that ended up getting held back a year and even took class with someone in elementary school who got held back. Point being that in the past the admins used to typically side and help the teachers but nowadays its looking like that's becoming a rarity and I think the administration really needs to crack down on this, and if there's such a concern then might as well just install cameras in the classroom since apparently these kids can't be trusted and many would be quick to point he finger at the teachers instead of the kids. Especially the parents also need to be held accountable into actually doing their job, personally I'd almost op for more extreme measures regarding parents since not all parents deserve children.
@hinkle3634 you live in the ghetto
Reason why they are not suspending Or expelling kids for bad behavior is because schools doesn’t give an f about learning, they want money/wealth
I heard the teacher yell, ..."ALL I WANT IS THE BEST FOR YOU..." He wants better for the child than the parent wants for their child. This is sad.
When my daughter was in kindergarten she got frustrated in class and threw a chair in class. I got the call and it never happened again. She is 29 y.o now. She knew I was not the one.
It mkes me so sad, as a mother to 2 special ed children, they are constantly getting a new teacher every year because they either quit or get "reassigned"
The first lady at the beginning nailed it. The teachers do not have any support for terrible behavior, they are supposed to just sit there and take abuse? They can't escalate behavioral problems if the Administrators are going to delete referrals to the principal. The Administrators ALREADY KNOW what the problem is, but they don't want to hold parents accountable, and they do not want to enforce any discipline or consequences for behavior, pushing all of it back on to the teacher. No employee can survive in a daily abusive environment, no matter what job you have.
As a millennial parent of a teen let me say that of those that actually discipline our kids… ppl look and treat us like we are crazy. These children have all sorts of resources to retaliate against teachers and parents. The soft parenting and extreme one sidedness has taken over. Being a traditional parent in this climate makes you public enemy #1.
I think this needs to be stated. We live in an era where someone can get butt hurt and call CPS and they might take your kid. Your two year old screams in your own house and someone gets involved.
It’s not gentle parenting that’s the issue, it’s passive parenting. Gentle parenting is about emotional regulation, responsibilities, and empathy, passive parenting is what allows these kids to walk over authority figures without one ounce of respect.
@@theirishsaint4324Yep, saw a video just the other day of one of these Karen's filming a man saying she was calling CPS because his daughter cussed out themom in public and he disciplined her. Sad thing is, CPS would likely agree with the woman.
I agree with you 100%.
Beating your kids is not discipline so I hope you aren't implying that.
I was a teacher for five years. One of the reasons I left the profession is because there is a serious push to simply pass students no matter what they do. At one point the guidance counselors CHANGED the grades I gave students so they would graduate. Some of my 12th graders couldn’t read above a 3rd or 4th grade level, but it looks bad if your school has a lot of students fail. For example, in my state, if you have too many students fail, your school goes on probation. If the school is on probation for 5 years, the school is moved to a list for potential closure.
There is a lot of competition for money between schools. Public charters and traditional public schools compete for money, and administrators want teachers to please parents so students aren’t moved to other schools.
12th graders with 3rd grade reading skills sound scary af
And these kids are going to grow up into adults and if they choose to, they'll be terrible parents .
Several times I was required to pass a student that did not deserve it and had barely done any assignments. I did not agree with giving a 50 on an assignment that was not even turned in. And a few weeks of summer school does not make up for failing test grades either. When are the kids supposed to learn anything if they just move along? Why should they put any effort in if they know they'll go on to the next grade no matter what?
I went to private high school, and if any student was ever found out to ever drink or get high or smoke anything they were instantly expelled end of story.
I’m a public bus driver in Australia, where it is different than America, is that public buses also service as school buses, so part of my job is driving as a school bus, and it’s probably the worst part of the job, kids these days are just evil, I’m not going to sugar coat it.
So I’m a bus driver, not a teacher, and I’m the only adult on a bus packed full of evil kids, no other adults I’m responsible for a bus load of kids as well as negotiating the roads with a heavy vehicle.
I mentioned how bad kids are to my mum, she’s been a teacher for over 30 years, and she said yes, kids these days are the worst they have ever been. My mum is an exceptional teacher, she’s worked high up in the education department and been offered jobs as principle but has always preferred to be in the classroom. She has been abused by and hit by kids under 10 years old
Kids today are disgusting, and the future is screwed
In the city I am in, in the US-they can’t hire people to drive buses. And I don’t blame them. The pay is low, the kids are mean. The local McDonald’s pays more.
When I went to school in the 00s bus drivers could stop the bus and kick the problem students off. Not sure if it was actually allowed but the drivers were always still there after so they weren’t getting sacked.
Do students at least still say ‘Thank you’ as they exit?
@@cheshirecat1212 some do, most act like you’re not even there and 99% of them don’t pay fair
@@slimyish Shame. I remember when I was in Year 7 a girl giving her bf a handijay in the seat behind me. Some spoof landed on the back of my seat.
But you bet your arse they both said ‘Thank you’ to the bus driver as they exited.
@@cheshirecat1212 ewww
I am from Switzerland. My little sister has multiple “bad” students as classmates. Two of them consistently call a black girl in their class the n word casually. And also call their teacher a whore daily. They scream, play on their phone, vape in class, walk out. And nothing is done. Two teachers already quit just because of that class alone.
Update: Half of the class was kicked out of school. One kid even went to an orphanage because of some legal troubles. A group chat was found where some of the boys in the class would put in pictures of girls and talk about if they found them ugly or wanted to sleep with them (reminder they are barely teens). The police made them delete it. Also later the police had to get involved again because of some r4pe threats. So yeah
Nougat?
@@taqiyyaconcarne6908 Yeah, let's keep it at that
Good lord, dude. I'm currently a junior in highschool, and I recently fucked up my leg, nothing particularly serious. But so far I've already been shoved over with complete disregard that my leg *is* fucked up quite a bit, and since I'm forced to use the elevator, I get to experience the less than pleasant stench of vapes and drugs on a Friday afternoon. There are some exceptions, but it's getting bad, fast.
@@justawilliamsfan I hope you get better soon
SWITZERLAND?!
The highest quality of life AND SOMEHOW THEY BREED BRATS?!
Little or zero actual parenting going on in many places. This is nearly 100% preventable by idiots not having kids.
Part of it is that the parents don’t even realize it
Exactly!
that’s called eugenics
i cant agree more
which is why abortion needs to be legal
Wow, this is just how my middle school years went. That was in 2004-2007! We are now addressing this? I have a panic disorder thanks to environments like this. It wasn’t fair to the quiet kids who were there to learn.
I remember a parent being shocked that her child was about to graduate from high school but she discovered that he couldn't read or write. That's mainly on her as the parent.
NO it's not on the mothers. they need help raising their kids. teachers should raise their kids with them. for mothers, it takes a village to raise one child. for fathers, it takes a father to raise his own child.
@@whateverman2674that is 100% on the parent. There's no way you can have a kid for 18 years of their life and not knowing an inkling of their academic performance or ability.
@@mintiimidnight Mothers have to work full time. they have a lot to do. when they come home from work they are TIRED. it's not easy man. The community (teachers, neighbors, police, etc.) needs to step in and help raise their kids. Moms can't do everything on their own.
@@whateverman2674My mom has worked her ass off all of my life, even working 2 jobs. I still can fucking read and write.
I'm telling you it's Idiocracy coming.
I was a daycare teacher for 2-5 years olds. I lasted 1 year. The things that were allowed to happen to me by the admin would be considered illegal if the kids were grown adults. But since they were kids, there was nothing done about it. I came home with bruises, cuts, scars, and bite marks everyday. I quickly learned that reporting anything to my managers was useless because they would physically throw away any reports I wrote up. My students were so addicted to their Ipads that they couldn’t handle not having them in their hands for 8 hours a day and they would scream in my face and slap me constantly. I was told by a 5 year old that he planned on tying me up with duct tape and leaving me to die. I had multiple chairs and toys thrown directly at my face. I’m surprised I even lasted a year.
As a teacher: we are being held to a high standard, but administrators are not. Disciplinary measures that once were used to deter bad behavior are now nonexistent in many cases.
Preach my brotha
Sounds like the kids are the ones with a standards issue.
Don't forget the low wages
Across the board, admin is the enemy:
Professional managerial class only care about their inflated salaries.
For real.
