'There Will Be No Teachers Left': Philly Educators Talk Quitting, Violence | NBC10 Philadelphia

- Опубліковано 18 лис 2019
- Teachers in Philadelphia don't make a fortune - between $46,000 and $84,000 annually - and it's hard-earned: they deal with occasional in-school violence, constant pressure to improve test scores and a high-rate of turnover among their peers. More than 500 city teachers took a survey provided by NBC10, giving their opinions on whether educators should be armed, whether the classroom is a safe environment and how often they contemplate leaving the profession. Here's what they had to say.

“If parents knew what went on in schools...”...they’d blame everybody else & take no responsibility for the children they raised.
It's TRUE. Too busy making minimum wages. No one home so no rules for the kids.
Abso-damn-lutely right, today's parents are a bunch of idiots, they don't take responsibility!
Exactly. Well said.
Its funny because it's true
MrManny you be lucky if the parents are even working. Most of them are drug fiends
The problem is that parents don’t care. They see school as daycare.
Parents are definitely the issue
@cubomania3 yeah...black.
Matthew Johnson That leave no child behind is the problem! And the pay and the parents!
Federally funded daycare was a Hitler policy
these kids need some spanking at home, not just a timeout bullshit....
My child spent months being punched, kicked, pinched, stabbed with pencils, feet stomped in the classroom by a boy and she wasn't the only one. I first spent time observing the classroom then confronted the principle. He told me the boy was being abused by his father and if they disciplined him at school he would be more abused at home. I then pointed out that if they had knowledge of parental abuse they were legally obligated to report it to child protection services or they could be charged. Soon after the father was removed from the home. The change for the better in that boy's behavior was swift and dramatic.
I still would like to know why it took me reminding them of their legal liability to get them to report that young man's abuse by his father. 🤬
woooooooowwww
That is mind boggling
it sounds like they were more concerned about looking bad then protecting the child.
That's wild; so because the boys being abused, he gets to be an abuser? What is wrong with the school administrators? They should have already called CPS long ago, before you even got there! Smh!
Wait- A father in the home?
90% of teacher stress could be alleviated with proper parenting that holds kids accountable
I agree and less pleasurable suspension time. Sleeping in, eating, playing on a computer, watching tv or hanging out with friends is not punishment. I used to drop my son off at his grandparents on my way to work. His grandfather fed him well and then put him to work, digging a sidewalk in compacted clay soils, tearing off roofing and putting the asphalt shingles in the trash bin, etc. My son usually got suspended once a year for something foolish. I made sure it wasn’t fun time, plus he got restricted for a weekend to a week and/or lost a privilege.
99%
With no discipline at home what do you expect?
Dan Thomas thats the comment I was looking for. Fully agreed
They are too busy trying to pay their taxes visible and invisible. Land of the fee home of the slave.
Dan Thomas exactly! With no discipline at home plus the same in the school systems around the country this will continue to get worse and worse. Also there are good kids that want a good education but have to deal with violence and bullying while the administration in the school systems do nothing about what is going on. Why are these kids being allowed to continue their bad behavior to the point of violence and bullying with no consequences for their actions? Do yourself a favor teachers and find another line of work. You will continue to be in danger and spend your own money to provide tools for your classroom. Of course the school boards and the superintendents don’t care about you all they care about is their paychecks.
@@mrscott01 What on earth does that have to do with disciplining your child?
kratz57x Everything
Teachers must learn: These aren't schools, they are baby sitting services.
As a homeschooling mom it amazes me how many parents I've heard say that they really don't like spending so much time with their children. YoBro, you are exactly right.
Teachers want open boarders so they shouldn't complain!
Ironically, as a manager the parents of these children are no better at their workplace.
Jay Cole so true. The state does not want the public school systems churning out free thinkers and intellectuals. Do away with cursive, allow “creative” spelling and math, revisionist history courses, smother anything that would the students questioners or free thinkers. I pulled my son out, when I found out he was never made to write a paper. They would have passed him with a D average. The public schools no longer care.
@Jay Cole Sad to say, but looks to be homeless slaves.
The condescending attitude of the superintendent is absolutely horrible.
He just says what he's paid to say, if he wants to keep his job.
@@kyliepechler He is the top dog. Are you kidding? He gets to say. He sets the tone. Leaders can and should be leaders. That is what they are paid to do. Not smirk, cover their asses.
@@virginiaoflaherty2983 Are you so narrow minded that you don't realize that even a superintendent has a boss, he has to answer to!?
Might wanna look at the attitudes of these kids. Hopeless...
He's a typical POS government bureaucrat.
I just finished my 26th year and I can tell you that disruptive and disrespectful students are valued more than the teachers. Worse yet, this isn't going to change.
VERY TRUE
Yep, we had to pull our kids out of school this year because the principal protected the bullies last year, even against the teachers.
Enabling the lowest common denominator
There’s no amount of money that can correct what these children learn at home.
Destroy the family destroy society... and the country is next.
Gangbangers sending their children what else to expect.
And what they don't.
....or dont learn
@JRRnotTolkien I remember in high school, Jr high etc I was constantly taught about the "horrors" of the holocaust but I never learned the atrocities committed by the USSR, Mao Zedong, pol pot. I never heard of the Holodomor or the Great Leap Forward. School's today are clearly nothing but indoctrination centers who "teach" their version of history.
"You have to ask the teachers that" spoken like a true corrupt official.
I hated that answer. So dismissive.
He absolutely needs to go with his careless response. He’s not there bc he wants to be there
The superintendent has a look on his face that tells me, he doesn’t care. His smirk is like “nothing to see here” move on.
Naw, he cares. He knows the parents suck and are stupid
With a $300,000/yr. salary and a $150,000/yr. pension on stand by, I'd have a smirk on my face too. My smirk would be saying, "I'm so glad I decided to go into education."
Hmmm...a sociopath who rose thru the ranks playing the game, climbing the corporate ladder by being a yes man and cheerleader for an industry he knows is corrupt. Yup, nothing to see here.....schools, law enforcement, corporate ladder climbers, the personality is all the same. Want to get ahead in today's world? Pretend there's nothing wrong and write off complainers as malcontents. That's how its done.
He seems squirrelly like Senator Cory Booker.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlah He seems nothing like Booker to me. Booker is corny, but he cares. That superintendent DGAF.
Parents don't take responsibility for their kids!! So despicable!!
When there is a behavior problem, the trend is to take the side of the child. Many parents are not doing their job!
Parents demand education for their children but cant even raise them to respect education 🤦♀️
That's true. They don't respect anyone. Then they end up locked up or shot
@@joeycottone7755 you should blame a society that glorifies violence.
The vast majority of school teaches things you will pretty much never use as an adult. Why should I give a shit about Edgar Allen Poe, an author I don't even enjoy, when I am an IT professional? Why would an HVAC technician care that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell?
Colin Theriac Primary education is meant to impart a basic level of understanding on a wide variety of topics. This is supposed to create well rounded citizens able to adequately participate in all aspects of public life. More specialized occupational training should be handled in occupational schools and colleges. Well, this is how it is SUPPOSED to work in any case.
@@ColinTherac117 um because knowledge is important and literature and biology are important subjects.

Vaccines are causing neurological damage. Plain and simple. Each generation is given more and more in a horrifying eugenics expirament. School age children now get 76 vaccines. There are over 200 more in the pipeline now that CA passed widespread mandates and got rid of all exemptions, which has given beaurecrats the right to override individual doctors reccomendations. We dont have an epidemic of infectious disease. We have an epidemic of chronic illness and neurological damage. Vaccines all contain known harmful neuro toxins like aluminum. They arent magical unicorn potions that have no possibility of causing harm. Every one comes with side effects, just like all pharmaceutical drug products.....but unlike pharmaceutical drugs the undustry has gotten away with vaccines never having to go through doubke blind placebo studies for safety due to being categorized as biologics instead of drugs. Did you know that? There is a lot that is very worrisome about vaccines the average joe doesnt know because vaccines make a lot of money and it appears like they also intentionally damage people to create customers for the drug market. Wake up!
Love your logic!
Bring back suspension, community service, etc. Run by the sheriff's department where the parents and their child have to participate. This is beyond outrageous!!!
If licenses were required to have kids, almost all of society's problems would disappear.
We used to have that, we just called them marriage licenses. Nothing predicts these bad behaviors more than a child being born out of wedlock.
It's not just kids not really being parented, it's also teachers being treated like trash by both the community AND their bosses.
Out of The Hat amen to that!
If that's the case (at least if it's the case in Philadelphia), then I'm surprised this news story didn't cover it. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if what you've said is truer in some cities than it is in others...
Cultural Marxism: Teachers are all dominant oppressors who oppress schoolchildren, and schoolchildren are all oppressed victims who can do no wrong.
Does it come as any surprise that teachers get treated like trash by the community and their bosses?
I lost my teaching job of 10 when I called health and safety after falling unconscious in the welding facility....turns out our air exchange system had been off for years......I wanted the place safe, admin wanted the situation smoothed over.
Why I quit? The adults not the kids. Went to teach college
Parents can’t disciplined their kids when the parents themselves are not disciplined.
thank you for pointing out the key issue... which should elude to a greater systemic problem. namely the propaganda that's been breaking families and driving the singles to be as successful as possible. there by locking them into jobs that they dedicate themselves to, instead of whats really important... family. You could keep following the string but I think doing so would write a book... you could call it a conspiracy, but given the evidence based on the relevance of cause and effect I think we can safely assume we're past that.
The adverse effect of removing fathers from the household and having a single parent household = lost generation, no direction, no guidance
Mr. B yep, multiple lost generations* because they aren’t building and they can’t hand off the baton.
Damn straight..! cold cold fact

To be clear:
1. The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology and training(brainwashing) program. [The theory is false]
2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book.
3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law).
4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution.
5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process".
6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.).
7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.
I believe a solution for this would be to have military teachers for kids like this. I went to a decent high school, but there were some kids that tested the teachers. My favorite teacher was an ex military woman and she shut down any problematic behavior since day one , lol. No one tested this woman, and scores in the class were immensely high because she called us out and told us that we were lazy and needed to do better. Everyone started working harder. A lot of those kids in those videos have no guidance and are not being disciplined in the house. It is 100% a parenting issue or there lackof. I do believe kids like that should go through some mandatory summer bootcamp to correct their behavior or guide them in the right direction.
Sounds perfect! I would have loved my boys , especially my older one, taught by military. Some of my girlfriend's kids are so coddled it's disgusting 🤢
All administrators should be required to teach in the classroom, a full load,one year out of every five
Same thing was said in one of my meetings by another teacher. Administration should come in and teach some of the classes.
When I was a teacher I remember the principal sneaking in my class to do an evaluation. She told me she didn’t like HOW I was teaching ( I was stern, creative, fun and encouraging according to my students). I told her she was more than welcome to come in and teach the class to show me. She never returned and I was fired .
That one year, the teachers should have a paid vacation. A REALLY GOOD PAID VACATION.
YESSS!!!
@@mayawallace7627 Say good riddance. Teachers are slaves now. You are no longer the master. Fortunately for you, the principal is not allowed to have a whip.
Breeding is one thing.... parenting is a whole other thing.... if a kid can’t read, that’s on the parent
True. You forgot to mention parent doesn't know how to read.
Agree
Or the fact that "no chlid left behind." It used to be a child was evaluated after each school year to determine whether or not the next grade could be navigated appropriately or if a repeat was necessary. Now they just keep promoting children who can't perform at the previous level let alone the next. Sure getting held back is sometimes difficult for child and family but the point is for the child to do well not just scrape by.
That is so true. It's the caretaker fault if the child they are raising can not read.
Back in the day kids would be left back now they pass everyone even kids that don’t need to be passed
All we hear is "we are failing our children" blah blah blah. Parents are failing their children.
Absolutely! It also kills me when people say that black kids are being discriminated against because they are disciplined more often. I would argue that if more kids were sent to school well behaved and ready to learn, fewer kids would have to be disciplined.
@@turabullschools2411 Have you seen a school with white kids? They are just as rambunctious. Difference is that they aren't disciplined as much in lower grades and grow to respect the teacher enough that they are slightly better when they get older.
@@tommy07robs yes I have.
@@turabullschools2411 Then you should know white kids act out against the teachers as well or have a habit of not respecting adults
@@tommy07robs I'm not sure what your point is. I never said that white kids don't act up.
I taught for 17 years in the NC school system, I was raised in Phila., PA, and am one of nine children. As a baby boomer, things were much different in the world than they are today. This is what I experienced and/or saw during my tenure in a middle school classroom which I left in 2017:
• Students who lack academic discipline (capable of doing the work, however, most were lazy). The foundation for learning begins in the home (single parent or not). Many households have failed to prepare their children for school.
• Students have a responsibility to come to school and do their best (many are not doing their part)
• Students who are ill-mannered and/or disrespectful
• Administrators who are more afraid of parents and central office i.e., the school board. They want the title but not the downside of managing a school
• Administrators who do not stand up and support their teachers because they fear central office and/or parents, and the children do not fear either
• Politics in education
• A system that does not hold students or their parents accountable and/or responsible. Some parents “don’t step up to the plate” because their attitude is, let the schools do it!
• Passing students on to the next grade level even though they are not prepared (the system does not want to hear from disgruntled parents because their child was not promoted). Unfortunately, school funding is often tied to “the numbers looking good;” therefore, the students are allowed to go to the next grade level where they will continue to struggle. This is truly leaving children behind!
I clearly understand that some students are living in dysfunctional households. Parents and/or guardians who are dealing with drug abuse, incarceration, low income, food insecurity, etc. Parents who ARE NOT PARENTING, but who are more concerned with being friends with their little darlings! This, I believe, is one of the main reasons why some parents are having the problems they are having with their children. Many of today’s youth dictate to their parents as to what they will do and what courses they will or will not pass! I have been told, “I don’t have to pass your class!” This was not an option when I was growing up! Why is a grade of sixty (60) passing and/or acceptable? During my school days a grade of sixty (60) was unacceptable - in my gradebook, to this day, a sixty (60) is still an “F” and unacceptable!
Teachers cannot do it all! Learning does not stop because a student leaves the classroom! Teachers try to assign homework but get pushback from some students and parents. Not every student can grasp a lesson during the allotted classroom time which makes it necessary to give homework. Teachers have to deal with numerous interruptions during class time, often because of misbehavior. Don’t give a test on a Monday, don’t give homework or a project over the holidays - this is absurd!!! Most evenings I had homework from 3 - 5 subjects; most often I had homework that required I put in time over the weekend to get it done! My parents did not accept any excuses! Let us not mention penmanship e. g. students who cannot legibly print their name on a sheet of paper. If my mother, who had nine (9) children and worked a full-time job outside the home was able to check over my homework, why can’t today’s parent or guardian do the same with less children in the home and the modern conveniences? I am tired of the excuses!
There are effective teachers and ineffective teachers, this holds true for every profession! I do not believe, for one minute, that the underlying problem lies with teachers! Families are broken and the K-12 education system is on a respirator.
thanks for your input. there is something rotten about this society.
This is the best comment of them all.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@@krboswellExactly.
I know this is impossible but I wish people have to need a licence to have children. Way too many parents don’t deserve kids, and the kids don’t know any better when they’re that age without someone watching over
"In my experience, once you pass 20 kids that's when you start to see a lot of the problem behaviors."
My parents tell me stories about how when they were in school in the 50's & 60's, just about every town had it's own school district. Plenty of schools, lower enrollments, smaller classes, teachers had a better chance at helping students in a respected career. Today, one school district may cover 2, 3, 4 or more towns. Sometimes, there may only be one school district for an entire county! Limited schools, bigger enrollments, larger classes, teachers may only have 40 minutes to help 80 students while constantly being criticized by administrators, parents, & general lowlifes who think they are useless. I can see why many teachers today give up; if I was set up to fail, I would look for a new career, too!
They seriously Fd up desegregation by making these massive centralized school districts but then maybe that was intentional.
@Drukstylz Asians have manners and respect. American blacks do not
Racist much? People often live up to the expectations that others set for them, so your hateful rhetoric is part of the problem
Yeah, they mega schools are part of the problem. I'm all for desegregation, but that doesn't mean neighborhood have to go away. We have one mega high school for our entire zone. There are some benefits in being able to have more specialized classroom... But not sure trade offs are worth it.
This is the result of garbage parenting.
@Tristan George What does race have to do with it? An idiot is an idiot regardless of skin color. Black kids cant read, and white kids still need safe spaces in college. Both races have shitty parents. One doesn't give enough attention to their children, the other gives too much. Both garbage parents.
@@omnichron3374 because people always try to find something to point the finger at but never a solution. this is exactly why this country has been slowly going downhill. they blame it on poverty, racism, lack of funds, govt, corporations, immigration, cpitalism the list goes on
@@omnichron3374 My kids went to a predominantly black school system. I attended every orientation meeting at the beginning of every school year and very few black parents would be there. The high school there was about 70% black. I don't know what you mean by "too much" attention. I don't think there is such a thing as too much. I made sure my kids did their homework each night and if they had a problem with it my wife and I would help them.
Not "garbage parenting" but garbage parents is the cause.
@@omnichron3374 this goes beyond race. I live in a mostly white area that is actually considered a wealthy area. Teachers face the same issues... they are not allowed to discipline kids and the kids know it.
Today’s parents don’t seem to care about their kids behaviour.
They expect the teachers to do the parent’s job for them and complain when their kids get punished.
@Hi There That's exactly what I be saying. As a former school bus driver, we had it the worst. They expect us drivers to take those kids to school and back and not do much discipline.

I work in the FL system and the way the students act is accurate. I was in a classroom and a bunch of students were in the back sleeping. About five more talking with each other and about 5 huddled at the front with the teacher trying to learn. When I asked the teacher later about this, she was told not to send kids to the Dean's office just "deal with it".
That’s because the dean will give a little talking to, hand the kid a lollipop and send them back to class. Happens all the time where I work. I had a kid swear in front of me, and when I told him he can’t swear in school, he said the assistant principal didn’t care. Now I have kids continually swear in front of me…they don’t care, and they tell me so. It’s madness.
That's pretty standard. Sickening.
@@zoritsanepenthe638 Then resign. Your mental health is very important. If they don't care about you, then you shouldn't care about them.
Pray to God everyday if you will be blessed with another class, or students behavior, or new administration. If all fails, dust off your shoulder and go somewhere else. Simple as that.
AND ALWAYS SAVE YOUR MONEY!
@Zoritsa Nepenthe That's horrible. I'm so sorry.
One time I was volunteering at an elementary school I heard a young student swear in front of the teacher and yelled at her. My jaw dropped down so hard. After she left storming off, I checked on the teacher, and she began crying. There is so much disrespect!
If I was the kid's mother, I would have cried in pain as I slapped some sense into her. And I don't enjoy hitting people. But the shameless child came back with the principal. He knew that the teacher was crying and rushed off the snarky, disrespectful little girl. I couldn't leave her like that. Took her out for a meal and tea.
Good riddance! Fuck teachers. Only a useless human becomes a teacher and even then you can't call them human anymore. They are like cockroaches or Arabs at that point. I hope they never find another job.
the biggest problem is a lot of these kids ain't got no fathers at home no guidance and the mothers let the streets raise their kids
Its all systematically designed
What a damn shame
Stemming from white supremacy, systematic racism
I had a husband but he was kinda worthless as a parent. I threatened our son. I don't believe in corporal punishment like my crazy mother but I threatened my son with yanking him out and homeschooling him
I was self employed so I had that luxury. He had to have all As. And he did. He is naturally a respectful natured person but he had boundaries and I wasn't F@$#$@# around and he knew it!
Some Parents are ridiculous! They coddle
Even if Dad's are in the home, they work and think their job is done unfortunately. Yeah kids don't have Dad's.
I know parents who believe it’s the schools job to raise the kids... lol
Th
Castlebury21; I am interested in hearing more about this... My daughter is in preschool right now and I’m always supportive of her learning... where I’m coming from is my experience as a young student in public schools which was not at all a good one. I seen teachers struggle with students that would just mess around. Including throwing a trash can across the class room. My mother didn’t care about my education. Her main concern was keeping a clean house or she will raise hell. But If i got an F in English or Math. She would brush it off. It didn’t matter to her. I see it every where. Parents rewarding there kids even after disobeying them or fail in class due to negligence. It’s not rewarding actually. It’s spoiling them.., anyway. I think the issues starts at home.
Castlebury21 as for what your saying. I do believe you have a valid point.
My 11 year old school has a sick day policy...being that the kids must be fever free for 24 hours. So my son got sick with the fever and missed 2 days of school. I got a letter sent home asking me what I can do different to encourage my son to go to school. Mind you, he's a straight A student. I wrote back telling them that the next time he is sick, that I will send him to school and let them make the parental decision to keep him or send him home.
May kid is reading and writing at 5, it was hard work, still is. She might be writing a only a small few words but it IS doing that work with them every night, don't care if you have 15 MINUTES. Do it. They love learning too.
A lot of people bag on home schoolers but you see garbage like this and you realize that home schooling isn't quite so bad after all.
newcountryguy only reason people talk bad about home school is because home schooling works. Notice the ones talking bad about it are those running the public school system.
@@huffandpoot right , I have a friend who homeschool's her kids and they are very smart. Some people I knew that were bagging on it were trying to say that home school kids are socially inept and don't know how to deal with people. Which is a total crock of BS. The way things are today, I would much rather homeschool kids. Much less to worry about and much less bad influences to deal with including marxist / sjw propaganda.
@Sheldon Cooper agreed and congrats my friend! Awesome to hear that!
Duh.

If I ever did any of this my dad or mom would give me choices
1: get my stuff taken away
2: get whooped
Same. And im a girl! Yet i know if I get into it my dad will beat the shit out of me! And my mom will be there right there telling me off too!🤣😭
Dang man, you had a choice? (Joking)
That's when parents were parents and they were looking at the long game for YOU.
Although i dont agree with physical punishment, discipline is preatty important
The fact that they gave you a choice was incredibly fair, honestly I'll take a note from your parents when I have kids.
Two years later… Students are lazy, they refuse to work. They talk back have a terrible attitude and can’t be off their phones for five minutes. Asking students to get off their cell phones is like playing wack a mole! I fear for the future of this country!
Look at how the superintendent is reacting and that tells you why there are problems.
He's defensive.
One of many superintendents who are so full of themselves and refuse to face the truth. Just backstabbing administrators who should have become congressmen. Nothing will ever change. Chicago is the same. As a teacher I would get the hell out of there and change professions while you're young enough.
Yup!
classic philly corruption
That was disgusting when he didn't want to address the issues with the reporter. He should be stuck in a classroom for a couple of years so he can show all the other teachers how to deal with it if he's so freakin smart.
Teachers have to hide there identities like hiding from gangsters
Because they actually are having to hide from the Talmudic communist Mafia that has stolen the country. We are being dumbed down on purpose and anyone who exposes it risks getting to be a targeted individual.
That is part of the origin of the problem.
Im sorry but I giggled a little

They should be ashamed, they make a living lobotomizing young children.
I taught in East Asia, and the Middle East. This is a global phenomenon, especially in American and British institutions. Being a teacher is no longer an award, it is a punishment. Teachers may need to be on strike one of these days.
In summary, we are the generation z era. Parents want to be their child's friend, not their child's disciplinarian. Parents are getting more divorced, so each parent will pamper their child to play favoritism in case a court case goes up. Parents are working more than 8 hours, because of global inflation. So, grandparents will take care of the children, and most grandparents LOVE PAMPERING THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.
Teachers are seen as villains than heroes. Teacher are seen more as an obstruct than mentors of the future. Teachers used to be seen as high professionals that deserve respect. Now teachers are seen as nothing more than babysitters and camp counselors. Teachers are suppose to act like clowns than guidance. Students love edutainment than education.
Pray to GOD that most of your students are great. Pray to GOD that the parents will follow your way of mentorship and discipline than seeing you as an obstruction. I pray for all teachers out there. Let's hope teachers will gain more respect than deserve.
It all comes down to the parents. I went to a small rural school with only 23 students in my graduating class. There were never any major or ongoing discipline problems. The students respected the teachers and administrators, even if they didn’t like them. I know that if I got in trouble in school, I was in even bigger trouble when I got home. I think that held true for most students. I’m very thankful and appreciative that I live in “flyover” country. I make a good living, my family and I feel safe, and my children receive a great education. The American Dream is alive and well here.
The districts won’t even listen to their own teachers, why would they talk or listen to a news outlet?
Truth Sayer Because now it's being spread to the public, news = power.
They don't listen because the school is afraid to get sued. Now a days people sue over a dirty look.
Aye.
When you destroy families there is no stability outside the home.
Parents don't raise there kids any more.They want the world to do that for them.Tragedy.
What worries me is that in a few years, these same kids will be old enough to vote.
These will be the same people that will not vote so you have nothing to worry about since they cannot read any way.
There's many who are not citizens so they won't.
Teachers want open boarders so they should just suck it up.
How else would democrats stay in power in big cities!!
@Willful Yes, and that is exactly the plan. Dumb down the curriculum, teach them that they have every right to do whatever they want whenever they want. Encourage entitlement, emotionalism (how do you FEEL about that dear?) and mob mentality so that they will fall for the propaganda issued by the likes of George Soros and the now dead Saul Alinsky. The future of our children is in grave danger.
I don't know how teachers do it, I really don't. Generally speaking, it seems student behavior is out of control.
Parents' behaviour is equally out of controll!
Have you noticed how the superintendent keeps looking down or looking away he knows it's the truth that the guy is telling him but is in denial.
Yup.
It's not the lack of funding that's the problem, it's a society that has no respect for authority or the importance of a good education.
Teacher are not allowed to flunk students. Schools are not allowed to expell bad students.
Respect for authority? Lol.
Send the brats to Asia zero tolerance for such behavior and they will receive harsh punishment and parents be held accountable and embarrassed for such dishonorable behavior and kids punishment in school would be severe and parents will allow it to put kids in their place.
My mom was a teacher for ten years. She had to leave after being paid so little that we couldn’t pay the bills at home. Teachers devote HOURS of unpaid overtime to figuring out how to teach children authority and and the curriculum at the same time. And they’re given jack shit. Don’t be heartless.

The problem with education is administration. It always has been.
It’s unions and government taking over education. Get rid of the Dept of Education turn control back to states
Teacher need more control of their classrooms, smaller class sizes. More Councelors needs to be hired to help with student emotional needs.
And most of those teachers enroll their own children in PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

Growing up in the 60’s - 70’s.
Our parents always bought our own supplies.
We would never think of coming to school unprepared with no pencils or notebooks.
Assaults perps were expelled.
You either brought your lunch or you paid for lunch, if you forgot your lunch or money,
You did not eat.
This is total chaos and we are creating monsters.
herbielina we still do, i raised seven children and spent thousands on school supplies and my grandchildren today the same. It’s all BS. School vouchers would put them out of biz
herbielina Students bring nothing bc the parents except the schools to provide EVERYTHING!!! And I mean everything and if you speak up against it you’re made to feel like a bad, uncaring teacher. It’s bullshit.
Sorry 60s parents didnt supply school supplies. The schools supplied them because money was managed well. If your parents did then you must have went to private school.
Onlyme
Public school. And we had to bring our own notebooks, pencils and pens, erasers.
And in the 1940s is when a lot of power was transferred to corporate interests, to private bankers, to technocrats. In 1940 America became involved in the first documented geoengineering operations. A lot has changed since you were growing up. The kids behavior is the result of neurological damage. So is ADHA so is emotional disregulation, so is autism......and in our eoderly, so is dementia and alzheimers. This neurological damage is caused by heavy metal poisoning of our brains, most specifically aluminum poisoning. High lebels of aluminum are in all the vaccines. Kids get 76 vaccines now. Duh. Put it together. We are all exposed to aluminum through our air column now but there is a special kind of aluminum in the vaccines. Research it.
This superintendent is only concerned with money...... he could care less about the kids.
That's my view as well, didn't want to hear the truth😟
We decided to devalue education long ago in the interest of cheaper and cheaper labor. If there is no reward for a good life financially, how can you sell it to students who live in this society?
THIS is real journalism, and KUDOS to the NBC10 team for the use of graphics to tell this story. Outstanding.
I agree!
I know a school counselor who was assaulted and was falsely imprisoned in his own office by a parent. Both students and parents are out of control! No consequences for the parents either.
Parents are some of the biggest bullies and everyone is afraid of them due to lawsuits.
Taught by the Schools
Hope the counselor got a lawyer. It is total nonsense to have your life in danger
This is a product of the welfare state. Welfare mama (there is usually no daddy in the equation) started excreting offspring shortly after reaching puberty from several different baby's daddies who are usually grown men who periodically knock up these underage girls. No one in the community objects or holds them accountable. Welfare mamma was whelped from a 13-14 year old welfare mama and she in turn began defecating her offspring at this age. We now have multiple generations of uneducated undisciplined children collecting billions of our tax dollars and voting for one political party.
We have a full thirty years of degeneration of the school cultures. The reaction of the Superintendent Pius a sign of the basic problem. School administration is a form of appointive politics. Incompetents with a gift of gab are being hugely compensated for managerial skills they do not have. Then they are bought out for millions of dollars so than another pretender can be hired. Sort of like a Catholic diocese paying millions because bishops refused to get rid of sexually perverted priests.
My husband and I are millenial parents with 4 children. We have ZERO tolerance for disrespectful behavior and consequences are given accordingly. We 100% support our children's teachers and are grateful for them.
Parents need to get a grip and actually parent their kids, be invested in their childs education and stop treating school like a daycare.
This behavior is unacceptable and embarrassing.
Your children will one day bless you for that, and so will your grandkids.
Kudos, MomofMany.
If more parents were like you, things would turn around sooo fast, especially for the kids who genuinely need the IEPs to succeed. How often do such kids get bullied by so-called normal kids, because the "normal kids'" parents think it's okay to be bullies and be nasty? (Yes, I experienced it in HS and it sucks.) And that's just one sliver of the problem.
Thank you and your husband for doing your part!
That's how I was Raised 👍
I had to take my grandson when he was 15. What an absolute brat. I had to teach him math and then I taught him algebra. After that he began to calm down. Now he has his GED he works in a Union and is married with 2 children.
When children feel stupid they act stupid.
I attended H.S. in the 1960's I don't recall any problems.we were well behaved and showed teachers respect.
Lies ! Many of you were assaulting teachers and stealing from them then.
I see, a big part of the problem is people like these "politically motivated" administrators.

No thanks, I’d just walk out of the classroom, no child is worth all of that stress and a toxic environment.
Same.
No fathers or controlled fathers & hands off discipline. Kids start cursing at 3YO.
Cursing is irrelevant in a school. Being sent to detention for disobedient voices is NOT about knowledge, it's about compliance. Schools need to be about knowledge, not compliance. They're training obedient factory workers for a country that doesn't hire factory workers. Keeping the poor dumb so the rich kids can fly past them towards real opportunity.
i'm not saying compliance is a dirty word or that rules ruin schools. i'm saying the PRIMARY objective of a SCHOOL should be KNOWLEDGE, not compliance. "Sit still, shut up and take your Ritalin" is NOT education. If schools place too much weight on profanity/cursing, you're going to turn off a disproportionate amount of boys (more likely to disobey/challenge authority) from the oppressive school system. If boys lose faith in schools, they're going to "fall off the rails of society" and do their own thing. At 1:43 the teacher actually says: "Everything is dictated to you, You have basically no say. It's almost as if we're reading from a script" Compliant, aren't we? Nobody to challenge the status quo because everyone has that student debt degree with certificate and all the hoop-jumping that ensures compliance. Everybody from top to bottom is so obedient they forget schools are about knowledge, not compliance. Focus on compliance and kids (esp boys) will resist and the cycle gains (angular?) momentum. Knowledge needs to be top priority at schools but thin-skinned teachers taking offense at the way kids are vibrating the atmosphere are retarded. What kind of example are the teachers setting by being so easily angered and using the system to push boys away from knowledge for challenging authority? More females graduate college than males? It's not really a meritocracy if a significant portion of males are simply opting out.
Oh and regarding spanking, discipline is dandy but can become abuse very quickly. ua-cam.com/video/r_5yUXjXizQ/v-deo.html i used to get regularly beaten and kicked against the wall by my father (both parents are teachers) for disobedience against cursive and common core (2nd fuckin grade FFS) You can bet your ass i am NOT an obedient college graduate and i laugh at the student debt crisis. Saw that shit coming 20 years ago cuz i can read fine print and do math(i'm pretty good at math, because it was a life/safety issue.) Spanking is dandy, but you better be sure you are in the right or that child abuse will come back as elder abuse. js

I volunteer tutored at a school in Philly years ago. It was a city school, but seemed to draw from a primarily Christian , blue collar area. Those kids were great. They had good values, self discipline and were kind to each other and respectful to me. I loved them. Pretty strict religiously, they didnt celebrate Halloween which really surprised me.
That superintendent seems detached and oblivious from the stuff going on. Bet you anything he has political aspirations.
If they suspend kids, the school loses money. They don't want to lose money, so they keep them in school.
Yep. True while the studet learns they can get away too much
Gotta look into why they’re acting up in the first place. The blame goes on parents THEN the faculty.
A boy in my sister's 3rd grade class threatened to break into her house and rape her. He was suspended for 1 or 2 days, that's it. I'm not exaggerating. Later on she opened up and told us he had been groping her in the cloak room. THIRD GRADE!!! And we live in SE Minnesota...not the worst area of the country, and we are supposed to have "good" public schools here in MN.
To be clear:
1. The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology and training(brainwashing) program. [The theory is false]
2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book.
3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law).
4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution.
5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process".
6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.).
7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.

Isn’t it great how all of this anti-bullying activism has come to nothing.
Bullying is allowed - as long as the bullying is committed by a parent against the teacher.
I taught for 6 years and wrote up several “bullys”. I never saw one get expelled despite the “zero tolerance”. The only person to ever get expelled had to actually stab someone in a bathroom.
I have worked in early childhood where every child had been in daycare since infancy and had nontraditional home lives, such as no dad or mom living with boyfriend etc. And I am now working in a place where every child in my class has a mom and dad stable and married to each other and the child used to be home with mom or dad instead of daycare. The difference between the kids is staggering.

Vaccines are causing neurological damage. Plain and simple. Each generation is given more and more in a horrifying eugenics expirament. School age children now get 76 vaccines. There are over 200 more in the pipeline now that CA passed widespread mandates and got rid of all exemptions, which has given beaurecrats the right to override individual doctors reccomendations. We dont have an epidemic of infectious disease. We have an epidemic of chronic illness and neurological damage. Vaccines all contain known harmful neuro toxins like aluminum. They arent magical unicorn potions that have no possibility of causing harm. Every one comes with side effects, just like all pharmaceutical drug products.....but unlike pharmaceutical drugs the undustry has gotten away with vaccines never having to go through doubke blind placebo studies for safety due to being categorized as biologics instead of drugs. Did you know that? There is a lot that is very worrisome about vaccines the average joe doesnt know because vaccines make a lot of money and it appears like they also intentionally damage people to create customers for the drug market. Wake up!
THIS IS ALL TRUE! I grew up in Philly and went through the public school system. My mother worked as a teacher’s assistant for an elementary school for over decade and my brother is currently a teacher in Philly. This is and has been a huge problem.
I see a lot of people commenting and blaming the parents. Yes. That’s true but it’s not the whole reason. It’s politics and lack of funding. It’s bureaucrats skimming and pocketing money.
It’s also the fact that many Parents are Burnt Out! From working shit hours for shit pay. They don’t have the time or energy to teach children how to behave civilly.
We need to support parents AND teachers. And we need to hold the thieving, greedy people in power accountable.

This was an issue way before now. Some people are garbage and so are their spawns.
I wholeheartedly agree with the Little to no Real Discipline Part, Teachers having to pay out of pocket and having to deal with Behavioral Issues. My Wife was knocked down as a 5th Grade Teacher having to break up a Fight while pregnant 🤰.
Their “Parents” expect the school to parent. Because they don’t want to. The kids have no parenting at home, so they don’t know how to act.
Foolish Comments Section 🇺🇸 Kids Spend 6 Hours A Day In School...Fake Teachers Get Another Job..
Well it also likely comes down to parents may be more time at work than ever before. Therefore not having time to spare for their kids.
Broken homes create broken people. When family is mocked and undermined, when discipline is frowned upon, this is what we get. Pathetic!
Not really, I turned out fine. I have 3 smart well behaved kids, granted one child have issues his first year but we managed to address and handle it, now he is as well behaved as his siblings. The discipline point is accurate, as long as you dont mean physical discipline, which does not correct bad behavior nor is it good parenting. Not sure what the other guys point is, but I grew up without a "father" in the home and was definitely better for it, my husband's parents were "perfect" until they suddenly got divorced which messed with him and all of his siblings and our son who has social issues has always had a 2 parent home. There's no quick answer, but we have to start listening to kids when they have a problem and then trying to address it, as a parent I have found the easiest and most successful way to address issues with behavior is to simply ask the child and listen and then address their concerns. Kids just want to feel loved and heard which is not that hard to do. When they aren't their underdeveloped brain makes them believe acting out is the best way to achieve what they need.
@@KT-su3qk well, lets wait and see how many likes you get for bad mouthing fathers.
@@chrismontreuil2206 😂 that's what you got from my comment, ok. Let me explain since you need me to...my "father" was a piece of shit... abusive alcoholic...and I was better off without him. I turned out fine without a father as do many people...my husband and father to my kids is nothing like him and my kids benefit from his involvement. Generalizations are rarely correct.
@mike sixx 😂 just another generalization 😂 my grandmother had no problems raising 5 kids alone. Want to take your generalization as a fact and a standard; then you have to take the generalization that in 2 parent homes the mother does most of the work concerning the care of children, but that wouldn't be completely accurate; as many fathers are just as involved with their children as mothers.
@mike sixx but they are generalizations not fact of every household give the specific studies because I would like to know the specific guidelines and factors of the study. Because in my house hold and when it comes to my brothers and their wives it's the women who run the household not the men. My husband will avoid any kind of conflict, which means I do most of the parenting and the behavior corrections especially when it comes to the girls as my husband says and does absolutely nothing. His daughter doesn't come home on time I have to deal with it because he won't, my brothers live with their children and yet barely are involved with the daily activities of the kids, my experience is that men will always take the backseat when it comes to parenting because its always been the womens traditional role and that is just now changing. Men dont just automatically hold authority in a home and they dont automatically have the respect of their children and 2 parents dont have to stay together in order for a man to be involved. You are just holding on to some sexist ideas that men have authority and are needed to raise children properly which is just not true, and the same can be said about women. A father can raise his child by himself just fine if the mother is a piece of shit and the child will benefit from the piece of shit not being in their lives.
If every teacher in Philly quit, I doubt anyone would be able to tell. The whole city is a pit of despair.
I'll stay a paraprofessional until I can't do it no more. I feel like my role taking small groups for writing and reading is extremely important in times like these. The teachers cannot teach when there are 22 in the class, so I feel when I take 5 kids with me I'm doing so much more for them than the teacher is able to do, through no fault of her own, obviously.

I have elementary school children. The schools are cowardly and give in to societal activism and pressure. Club-going drug-addled poorly employed parents send kids with no family or cultural values that disrupt others and schools have pictures everywhere of “privileged” children watching a baseball game while two other kids can’t see over the fence and must stand on boxes....little Maria can’t study because she has to take care of her many siblings while her parents work two jobs...goes the narrative while little Dylan can study in a nice safe home. There’s a third type of kid in reality, that just wonders the classrooms and hallways and nobody dares say anything fearing stigma their actions will cause costs them their jobs. That kid is now in good schools coming from neighborhoods of no tax income and serves only to slow and disrupt the class. Often my kids are told to play on the computer while teacher tries to reiterate to the slow learners the lesson all over again or get them to settle down. It’s a war zone. The Chinese get more than 7 times the STEM degrees annually, while we don’t even study the scientific method because it’s discriminatory as are objective standards shockingly...we are making illiterate activists that can’t even ascertain a valid argument.

(People talk about healthcare costs, but no one talks about repealing healthcare regulation or instituting healthcare vouchers- they're only interested in seeing the entire damn sector socialized under government control.)

Just a generation ago my fellow students and I were poor AF, but we knew respect & that our teachers were working like hell to help us all. Parents participated in fundraising and disciplined their kids when they were disrespecting others. There was,literally, NO BULLYING in our school. Band, Cheer, jocks, Mathletes, Sci-Olympiads, etc. ALL hung out, partied, and ate lunch together....Black, Caucasian, Asian, and Mexican. The deep fall from where we were in the 90’s (seems like just yesterday) where we thought things were soooo bad vs NOW is heartbreaking. The teaching career used to be one of the most respected in a town because parents knew that the teachers were the ones that could help open minds, instill reasoning/deduction/imagination/and wonderment through learning about the world around you. Teachers were the way. It wasn’t until after the 70’s when parents started getting soft and arguing w/ the teachers when they’d tell them the kid had messed up. My mom saw it then. America, fund your schools and pay your teachers! Fuck that $100 reimbursement shit! ALL these teachers need to quit and go teach where they’re respected and wanted...Philippines, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Japan, China, etc. they pay SO well where you can pay off your Masters degree loans within TWO YEARS! The violence against teachers in America is ALL due to parents not allowing teachers to discipline these bastard children. Pink that ass and tell them to sit the fuck down. There is a reason education has gotten so bad from one generation to the next. Parents won’t discipline the kids and the teachers aren’t allowed to. I said, “Fuck that! And fuck ya’ll too!” and BOUNCED! Was NOT expecting teaching to be like this at ALL. When I was in school (class of ‘04) the system was failing, but not this bad. Teachers had to buy us supplies, but they had our love and respect. Is this ugly domino effect where as each one falls the problem gets uglier and uglier. Teaching in AZ is heaven compared to everywhere else and it’s still bad! Every other nation keeps education at the national forefront because they care about kids and their nation’s success.
Exactly!
My teaching experience was a daily struggle that I could no longer continue.
Typical, another grossly out of touch superintendent.
It starts at home with parenting, you raise your child to behave in school.
The democrats have made it illegal to sensibly discipline your children in the home...if you go to jail your good kids get taken away, thanks to the bad apple kid....and the leftists wonder why kids are out of control....
We, scientists, are to follow facts in order to see where they lead.

To be clear:
1. The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology and training(brainwashing) program. [The theory is false]
2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book.
3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law).
4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution.
5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process".
6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.).
7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.
We need to cut class sizes in half, increase teacher pay, and hire teacher assistants, as well as well as having mental health professionals there at school. We need this implemented on a national level. Schools getting their funding based upon what voters want to pay in taxes and which districts get the most taxes because of the wealth in their community is not equal treatment.
We also need to increase pay where a parent can stay home and help a child. Parents are overworked and not home children are being raised by devices (and not the educational programs but tiktoc) and our communities are decaying.
Spot on. Best comment here, thank you. As a teacher who just quit because of the failed system, I agree!! Changes must be made. The teachers are burning out. Upon thinking about quitting I realized that I’ve never really been raising my kids!! I’ve always had to work so hard and when I came home, had nothing left in me. Im happy to be given this opportunity by my husband to quit and homeschool our kiddo. Wish I could have just stayed home and raised them years ago but we’d set up our life that way.
"Everyday I have to talk myself to go to work."
I can so relate to this. I worked as a substitute teacher for 10 years, then 2019 till now in 2022 I was a part-time para, and now I'm going back as a substitute teacher. I was more respected as a substitute (even though that had its own problem, but I was never sick), than I ever did as a part-time VPK para. I was never kicked, punched or threaten as a sub, nor did a co-teacher overlooked such incidents as nothing. As a part-time para, I worked 7 hrs, but only got paid for 5 hrs. I made it earlier than the full-time teacher I worked with to make sure the toys and room was fully sanitized (the teacher could careless about anyone dying over the diseases that class would have). I started to quite quit this year in Feb/March and left May5th. I rather deal with the unpredictability as a substitute teacher at a middle school, than to ever work with that full time teacher and school ever again. How can you, as a full-time teacher being paid $300 a day, just let a student kick your para and think it is nothing? Not to mention the stuff the two students had done towards other students and not write a report on that? Writing a report is part of your full-time contract!!!! I had enough justifying this low pay/ high risk job and resigned and went back as a substitute. While doing that, I'm taking classes for Business and Funeral Service, plus gaining experience through Funeral online conferences and meetings. The Funeral Service have better managers than the Education system does. The Education System wishes it is as cut and dry, as well as being well organized and focused on the goals and tasks as Funeral Directors are. I was convinced so fast to pick that as my next degree and license. So glad I started it years ago during my Medical Billing and Coding years of 2012 and 2013. It is so sad the education system is losing the very best and most educated teachers of the profession, but that what it gets for treating us so poorly. I don't even want to mention the gas-lighters and sociopaths that are in the system that make it the most toxic environment around. The worse is that they make it out like you are the problem, when they were causing trouble and problems for decades before you even got there. Toxic environment, toxic people, severely toxic system. That is why they are losing the very best. I hope it collapse within itself and sucks it all up like a black hole it is. Only then can the system change. Current one needs to die for a better one to arise. Until then teachers will continue to walk out that door. I want to see what those entitled busy parents will do when they don't have their free "babysitters" to use and abuse anymore. What the admins, school counselors, and other higher-ups will do when there are no more teachers to boss and kick around anymore. Ungrateful society.
Parents wont parent and instead blame the teachers for their bad kids, it'll never get better
Narcissistic Personality disordered ABUSE THEIR OWN KIDS OR ABANDON THEM. A narcissist CAN'T meet the needs of their children and enjoy causing suffering in their own kids. Most will NEVER COMPREHEND this unless it's happened to you.
The parents blame everyone and vote democrat. What did you expect
Your statement is statistically accurate.

@Truth Finder There are ZERO studies that show HITTING A CHILD made them better! NOT ONE.
The top administrators, parents and system is the problem.
That's easy to say, but teachers have had decades to address the problem, yet haven't. Instead, they just keep asking for more money. Salaries keep going up while education goes down. We need another, more realistic, approach. Discipline has to start in the schools, despite parents. We should also replace teachers with people having actual real-world skills and experience - people who can inspire the kids with stories & tales. There are millions of older people willing to work.
M 40 they don’t have many ways they are allowed to discipline anymore. Sometimes it’s against policy to remove a student by sending to the Principals Office. This disrupts others learning when a student acts out
I worked in schools for the last 20yrs and I've watched things get worse every year , I can tell you from experience that kids ain't tryna hear no stories and tales unless its told by their fav rapper .the only thing these kids respect is force equal or greater than what they can dish out .you can only suspend them a certain amount of times , if they curse you you cant curse them back ,if they hit you you cant hit them back .The change has to start at home .
@M 40 I love that solution .
@M 40 The school would get sued.
If someone keeps disrupting the class, evict them.
There has to be consequence's, otherwise they'll never learn. In the real world, every choice has consequence's, but whether those are good or bad, is entirely up to YOU.
But kids nowadays doesn't learn about those things.
This is some of the best reporting that I have seen from NBC in a long time. Discipline is at the core of the problem. Most parents will choose to side with their own child, but they also tend to not accept responsibility for the home environment and example they set for their own child. First and foremost. What kind of language do you use in front of your child and how do you speak to them or your spouse. The child will take that and mimic that example in school. I live in Minnesota. Certainly not remotely equivalent to cities like Philly. These problems are the greatest in schools with a higher ethnic population. What we have witnessed in these schools is frightening.
Consider this a warning and ignore at your own peril:
I went to the worst school district in Dallas, graduated and I'm doing ok for myself. Some years down the line, the high school was found to have had a bunch of mold and rotting wood in the building. Keep in mind that this high school was built in the 80s, so there is no reason whatsoever for a building of that age to have that many problems...unless no one is maintaining it. Come to find out, the superintendent was stealing money from the building, education, books and whatever else funds to fill his own pockets. To make matters worse, he actually had the gaul to ask for more money from the community!!! My brother was in the high school at the time, and they couldn't even feed the kids there. A fast food joint had to come and bring food.
Your superintendent looks guilty as hell, and he looks like he's trying to cover his own ass. You'd better look into him and look into his good ol' boys club. Something ain't right about that guy. I'm willing to bet the farm on it.
Rudolph Donner Dallas school districts are nuts. My school was so crowded and poorly planned that the hallways between classes were so packed it resembled a sardine can. Two gas leaks in 3 years, a plane crashes on the field behind the school, multiple fires, gunman hoaxes every year, and the teachers had to sacrifice so much for the sake of their students. My academic decathlon coaches paid for all of our competition travel costs out of pocket just so we could compete. LISD can suck a fat nut

I thought long ago that being a Porn addict was scary, but really I should have been realized that being a school teacher was more harsh to someone's life than working as an ordinary prostitute especially being a teacher in very liberal piece of shit schools & colleges (look no further than Evergreen State School within Seattle)!
It starts at home. Parents aren't being responsible
That's what schools say when they fail. Pas the buck, when bad teachers and administrators are the real problems.
@@mikemondano3624: It's not the schools responsibility to raise upstanding citizens. From your answer I can tell you don't have children.
@@mikemondano3624 Dumbass you can't teach if the kids aren't willing to learn and act disciplined... This isn't the 80s and 90s anymore, schools can't punish kids the way they use to.
@@thefractalcurve5462 You're right it does start at home, but the problem is, a lot of kids these days in those neighbourhoods are being raised by parents pretty much in the same generation as them.
Yeah I work in retail, parents pass bad habits to their children.
Last weekend alone I spent $80 for my students and classroom. Had to buy new pencils, cardstock to make a Mother’s Day gift, teaching resources because we don’t have any SS curriculum, and a couple of outdoor toys for recess.
It’s just part of what we do.
You gotta be tough these days to be a teacher, I started off studying early childhood development in college to work in daycare and that was a challenge keeping up with 20 4 year olds within two weeks of being around them the most unruly one was following me around and behaving and helping me cleaning, his parents saw that change in him and thanked me personally, I just said I'm just doing my job to get these kids ready for kindergarten you treat them all equal And eager to learn.
