    Bad student behavior and low pay is the problem. Parents need to be more involved with their children and how they behave in the classroom.

    I am a teacher and this is symbolism over substance. They will spend big money to have people with fancy degrees and lots of letters behind their name draft reports with cool graphics and big words to tap dance around the obvious and then propose solutions in need of a problem while things continue on their present trajectory. We will then spend hours in some PD with our PLC listening to new en vogue buzzwords that rename old concepts such as rebranding “special education” as specialized differentiated instruction , demanding that we tailor our lessons to each individual student so they can judge our efforts on a one size fits all standardized test THEY created…

    Student behavior is out of control. There is no consequences for breaking the rules. After 12 years of teaching, I don’t even have my own classroom, I share a portable with another teacher. During my conference period, I don’t have anywhere to go and work on lessons, due to the other teacher teaching a class in my portable.

    The press always spouts 'low pay' as the main reason. Negative!
    It's about being forced to keep disruptive kids in the class. Unlike the movies, these kids don't get better. Instead, their presence infects the other kids with bad attitudes.
    The 'zero tolerance' on bullying policy is more like a slogan. Administration will never suspend or expel bullies, especially if the bully receives special ed services. All BS. We need to be able to kick the bumbs out!

    A LETTER TO SCHOOL AUTHORITIES AND POLICY MAKERS.
    To make the school teaching profession more productive and attractive please do the following:
    1. The teaching load should not exceed 1000 minutes per week. That means 5 periods of 40 minutes duration per day. The rest of the time is for lesson planning, lesson preparation, marking assignments and tests etc. The total time including this should never exceed 8 hours per day.
    2. Teaching should not be treated as a factory job. It is an intellectual job. So work life balance is very much essential.
    3. Avoid unnecessary paperworks and data collection. This will distract teachers from their main task and focus area. Most of these types of works were found useless and will decrease the productivity of teachers. Teachers are there to teach and not for doing clerical jobs.
    4. Avoid daily detailed lesson plans etc. Those are time consuming. They are alrady trained for that during their teachers training.
    5. Avoid micromanagement. Trust the teachers.
    6. Pay well at par with other professionals. Quality comes with money.
    7. Stop "pleaseing the parents" attitude. They are not educationalists. Stick to the school policy.
    8. Unnecessary parental involvement should be discouraged at any cost.
    9. When a new system is introduced in a school, do not keep the old system.
    10. Most of the lawmakers and policy makers in the education sector were never been teachers. This should not be allowed. Include experts in education at the law making and planning stage. This is a must.

    Low pay, low pay, low pay. TX suburbs and cities are super expensive to live in, and a teacher's salary of 50K to 70K isn't enough to cover the costs. COVID caused kids to already fall behind grade level standards so teachers are playing catchup to get their kids on the curriculum level. Demanding admin, state-level testing, and rude parents also make teachers' jobs very difficult. I remember these problems pre-COVID when I talked to my high school teachers, and the pandemic seems to have made them worse. Finally, safety too. Nothing meaningful has been done to address school shootings. The pandemic already messed up a lot of teenagers' mental health, and the state makes it very easy for a teenager to get a semi-automatic firearm.

    Until you clearly define acceptable school behavior standards for the students (with parental support), and until you can get KIDS to have respect for authority and behave, and until you get the leadership in school to SUPPORT the teachers when they don't, and until you allow the teachers to hold kids accountable for completing the assigned work (rather than meeting some minimal standard "whenever they feel like it"), you won't be able to begin the solution. Please talk to actual teachers, or former teachers who love kids and value the future of our society. I am praying for the pendulum to swing the other way before it is too late.

Maybe bulletproof glass forthe windows and classroom doors if applicable?And have exit-only doors/gates At at the exterior campus yard boundary (that can only be opened from the inside) if they need to escort/escape their students in case of a fire or a bomb?

So be grateful you don't have to pay for it before you make silly demands! Especially if those demands and needs have been met from the start.
