You guys are awesome!!!!

I’m so happy for you guys!!!!

"...... made it easier for retired teachers to come back to work. " That sounds crazy to me! They should be addressing accountability for families and children as well.

There is no shortage of teachers. There is a shortage of teaching jobs that pay a good salary and have support for teaches to deal with difficult children

who in there right mind wants to spend all day with todays children, they behave like psychotic sociopaths. The lack of ability to discipline has ruined a generation.

schol problems starts and ends with STUDENT DISCIPLINE... bring back accountability to students, parents, and the community. Most problems in school will be solved.

Look at that superintendent, comfy chair, nice quiet office , a big smile , and ofc a big paycheck No worries, no turbulent disrespectful students that abuse you and you have to take it cause there is no single that ptotects you if you defend yourself , no endless paperwork awaiting you at home, no fear of being observed and criticized by people that didnt step foot in the classroom or teach to know their "recommendations" are useless

They had an opportunity to reinvent the system after Covid. We missed the mark to make some drastic changes. The same thing is not working. If they want to retain and recruit teachers they can. They do not listen to us or our needs. I’m 16 years in and considering a change. It’s a systems issue.

I get it. I'm leaving early. And I strongly discourage my four teens from pursuing a teaching career.

The Broken American Dream

Teaching is not a profession because teachers are not academics but rather child care workers dealing mostly with the academically untalented who for some perverse reason are being tormented with twelve years of book learning even though most of them will never enter one of the learned professions, but most likely will become manual workers or perhaps clerical workers in some extremely modest capacity, or retail clerks, or security guards etcetera ad nauseam ad infinitum. Rather than being private practice professionals teachers typically are low ranking civil service or church workers who will never supervise other workers but be left isolated baby sitting groups of kids who for the most part have no idea why they’re being forced to study the nonsense the school board has elected to inflict on them, when it is obvious even to the kids that in most cases they’ll end up doing the sort of jobs their relatives hold, none of which typically entail liberal arts and sciences to any observable degree. And of course nobody really learns anything in school as even the brightest kids typically learn most of what they do from their own activities such as visiting the library or the book store for instance. Kids who don’t learn on their own cannot be compelled to learn by their mostly dim teachers. Teachers are among the least academically talented of all college graduates. I know, I taught school for eight years and even tried being a Benedictine brother after teaching parochial school for two years, then public school in the Cleveland ghetto, followed by Job Corps GED and even community college adult learning center for more GED experience. American schools need to go back to flunking kids out then placing them in manual arts training programs or even fine arts and commercial courses or trades training. The current system is nothing but a lot of wishful thinking and annoying platitudes. And discipline in American schools is a sick joke. At the typical big city ghetto high school at least 25% of the kids are on probation and really belong in the state juvenile lock-up supervised by corrections officers.

If you don't have good people to work with, then it will be a huge struggle to make it through the day.

This video is exactly what perpetuates the problems. Educators have been conditioned to talk about how everything is working out. "We all just need to work harder together." All of the goody-goody feelings and comments just before the ending pretty much negated or marginalized the serious concerns expressed at the beginning and by the poor girl at the end. I'm sorry, but I really heard zero solutions in this. All of the issues in education were there well before the pandemic. Instead of learning from them, you're all just waiting until the big bad pandemic goes away and deluding yourselves into thinking it will take the problems with it. It won't.

Part of this is that some students have NO RESPECT for their teachers. Teaching respect starts in the home.

Thank you for sharing your struggles. I would like to study Primary teaching at teacher's college because I taught as a primary supply teacher. You are greatly appreciated.

I was just excessed as a teacher. I was told that they have to many special education teachers. I was then told that they capped classes for 30-32 students. They cut 2 teacher for budget but I had seniority over another teacher.

It's sad the same shituation almost everywhere in America, we are playing captain in the titanic movie lying to ourselves we keep up this mess suffsuffering and smiling..much love to everyone

I am not optimistic about these problems being fixed, because the people who are in charge of fixing these things are the people who caused the problems in the first place, and they don't realize that they are they problem. They blame outside events and other people

Thank you for this. I spent 22 years in education as a teacher and this year I've chose to run for school board trustee in Austin, TX and the sentiments of our teachers are similar.

Name any other profession that makes you work 10+hrs every day for almost minimum wage...oh and you might get shot, too!

Take away the useless paperwork that takes hours to complete. Add in principals who actually send home kids who have bad behaviors, rather than letting them color in the office for 10 minutes and sending them back to class, after the child was sent because child was causing great disruption, physical/mental harm to peers or teacher, or roaming around the campus because the child does not want to do the classwork. Add in principals who support the teachers, rather than just give the teachers "strategies" and platitudes that don't really help anyone. Add in parents who make their kids take accountability for the actions, rather than give excuses for their child. Add in teacher raises. Then, teachers would stay. They would also help with recruitment efforts. Right now veteran teachers are telling incoming teachers to find another job, before they get sucked into it. Six years ago, I had veteran teachers tell me to rethink my profession when I was going to college. Now, I am the teacher who is trying to convince the newbies to stay past the first year of teaching. The administrations need to recognize these issues fast. We are running out of energy and passion!

I don't understand why anyone would go into teaching in this day and age.

You were warned

Nice job you guys!

Correction: House Bill 2078 was signed into law on August 22, 2019. The year included in the video is a typo.

Gabe 🤣

This captures the spirit of educators in our area. Well done!

nah

Wesly Seghi is my cousin!! He is awesome.

THIS IS MY SCHOOL!

Mrs.Ferko is a world class teacher and an absolute joy. I’m very grateful to have spent a few years in her classroom. It’s so cool to see what it looks like now!

Cool

Hi

Great video

Principal Nelson is the best educational leader I have worked with at this point; but is even better as a person. While there are many skills that describes her and her excellent leadership, COMPASSION is what she exerts best. The positive climate at LaSalle-Peru Township High School was created and sustained by Principal Nelson. Cavalier Country is blessed to have had such a COMPASSIONATE leader! Wish you nothing but a well-deserved best in your retirement and future endeavors!
