Former elementary school teacher of 11 years here. I relate to this video wholeheartedly. I quit teaching 2 years ago and now work for myself doing a job that doesn't even require a high school diploma. I now make twice as much money annually as I did before, create my own schedule, and have no more anxiety. I too loved teaching and miss it every day. I know so many other career educators that are walking away and it has me very concerned for the future of this country.
What job are you doing now, I need to change careers
Curious as well!
Please tell us what you do !
Was thinking of leaving teaching as well. What field do you work in currently?
You guys can click on his picture and find out that he sell stuff on ebay!!! Your a bunch of lazy teachers that can't look for the answer?
Teachers are burning out because PARENTS aren't parenting their kids anymore. They have raised a generation of a-holes who hit their teachers, throw things at their teachers, cuss their teachers out, it's a mess.
That’s part of it and lack of support from administration. I’m in education so I can relate. 😢 I’ve been blessed and fortunate because I truly love the kids I work with. ❤❤❤
Those parents and their children have created a mass exodus to private schools. The indoctrination being forced upon kids, without parent’s’ permission or support increased the exodus to private and home schooling. People have also been having less kids or no kids for 20-30 years now.
I’m told it’s called “gentle parenting.” In other words, parents let their kids do whatever they want.
I have one word to say to this...Yes
Major facts!!
I am a first year teacher. Its a tough job. You got kids leaving your classroom, talking when I am talking, showing up late to class, starting fights, teasing one another, cutting class, watching their phones the entire time instead of listening to me, not turning in their assignments even when you give them class time, kids sleeping in class. Its a tough job. On top of that you have administrators that are doing absolutely nothing to help us out.
Not knowing where you teach but not all zipcodes are bad. Get your experience and when you find a better school district...move on!
Build a culture in your classroom. Start with the lesson plan actually engaging the students. Classroom management is much more than telling kids to sit down and be quiet while you talking head at the front of the room.
@@Michael-pf1in I am pretty sure that China, Singapore and the likes would consider your approach to "teaching" and "classroom management" the same as Amsterdam's leftist project about soft-drugs in the city🤣
Start an exit plan.
@@Michael-pf1in There’s already a culture in the classroom. That’s the problem. Zero consequences and no support from admin compounds it.
I quit teaching this year and started private tutoring. It as terrifying because I didn’t know if I would make any money or how it would go, but 6 months later I have 23 students and am supplementing half of my old income working 10 hours a week. Best decision I ever made. I will do anything to not go back to full time teaching!
I did a lot of private tutoring when I was in school myself. It really REALLY helped me out to pay for stuff. But I now work in a public college (not K12) and the fact that have excellent benefits and financial security is the main reason why I stay in public education. Remember when you teach/tutor privately: No public school retirement. It's nice if your husband has a proper full time job, but as a main source of income, tutoring is not a career.
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart depends on the state you are in. Our teacher retirement is a JOKE here so the only way to retire is to supplement your own Roth IRA or make other investments. Thankfully my husband has amazing benefits for heath so that’s not an issue. I also plan to eventually start my own music school and run a business so this is the path that’s best for me. But absolutely if you live in a state with great Heath insurance for teachers and amazing retirement I can understand staying. Texas however is NOT one of them and it’s not worth my mental and physical health haha.
@@brookecarrillo3432 What % did they take for your retirement? Not the matched part, just yours.
@@katydid2877 we have our own “retirement” in Texas called TRS so instead of giving 7.25% to SS we had to contribute that to TRS and we didn’t get a match haha. I don’t know of any district around me that gives a match.
As a former passionate educator, thank you Mr. Coleman! You summed up everything I felt before making the difficult decision to resign last year. I was the master level enthusiast educator. Who had great reviews. My parents and students loved me. I loved them too. However, I had to choose me and it had been one of the best decisions I made in my life.
I taught for 35 years and loved it. The last 5 were the saddest of my career to see what has hapoened. You are 100% correct in EVERYTHING you said in this video. Thank you!
I teach at an urban school in FL and it is very emotionally exhausting. I typically have to sit in my room with complete silence for 20-30 minutes to decompress. When kids have no fear of you or no respect for you because there are little to no consequences they don't care how they act towards you. When they know you are required to accept work until the end of the quarter regardless of timeline and they can do credit recovery from Q1 when it's Q4 it makes your job much harder. I really wish when a kid went to an alternate school they would stay there for the year and not sent back to you the next quarter. Recently wrote a kid up for cussing at me for telling him not to cuss.....mom chuckled on the phone and said he acts just like I did when I was in school..... that told me right there it's pointless trying to work with you because you think it's funny. In my county we had a 409 teacher shortage in August.... wonder why.
That's why this dude is crazy talking about layoffs lmao... yeah maybe all the district level bosses will need to actually take teaching jobs but teachers aren't getting laid off. Massive shortage
100%. It’s disgusting. There should be separate schools in the district for the uncivilized. Students who want to learn shouldn’t be exposed to those kids. Parents who care are removing their children from public schools. Years from now public schools will just be 100% the kids that don’t care with parents that don’t care.
Regardless of recession or not, layoffs or not “I am debt free!!!” Bring it on! 🥊🥊🥊
I want to be you. I'm on baby steps 2.
This isn’t just in education. Healthcare as well. So many changes in 25 years. Anything the government has their hands in, is ruined.
Dude, we're in a recession! I drive for a living and see it everyday across this country.
No we are not in recession, I still have my job, there is still you see hiring signs a cross the country
@@Abbay_special_recipe You clearly don't travel the country. Your area may be bullet proof, but not all the place I travel. Last year, I travel 150,000 miles back and forth all over this country. Just to give you an example a major carrier of goods in North Carolina just closed shop a about a week ago. Their operation is 200 18 wheelers. If you want the pulse of America just ask truck drivers who carry the goods. Recession is based off of Gross Domestic Product.
One of the biggest issues we have is parents who don't discipline their children. Then they get upset when their child is a "problem & aggressive with teachers and other students" when they send them to school. Parents yes we ARE the problem when you don't sit & teach your child at home. Teachers are NOT your child's parents. Your child NEEDS special education when the school says they do. The amount of parents that are causing harm by saying "NO" to discipline, special education & hard work with their kids is the #1 reason we are having kids fail in the system.
I suspect that discipline, or rather lack of it, is the main reason teachers leave the profession.
💯 agree. Canada's education system is at a breaking point as well. Teachers in Canada can't fail a student or even suspend students for behavior that is unexceptable
I retired (28 years) from public school and no child left behind marked a point of no return. The problem is schools run well with local control. But local control does not provide enough money. So then you get more and more federal control which often comes with money but so many strings that it is never worth it. I also taught 11 years in private school. Now those parents were entitled and made things nearly impossible. Somebody was always whining. I am happily retired and so glad to have survived a thankless career. I learned a lot about myself and others. I have no idea how anyone could endure an entire career of teaching in the present situation. I came out a slight bit cynical but just enough to give me the edge I need to deal with people. I have discouraged anyone in my family from going into teaching. It's a crazy world and everyone thinks they can do a better job than the teacher. I say - let them do it.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the harsh reality of being a teacher. People need to wake up because our education system is in shambles. The class sizes, the expectations, the pay. It's all just too much. But the kids keep you coming back day after day until you finally burnout. It's sad. We need a reform.
I take it you are a teacher...as a mom of 3 children...THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!! YOU are IMMENSELY APPRECIATED....But i truly wish you were all compensated Better!!
@@evelynherrera-gonzalez1474 🙏🏿
As someone who taught for 15 years and left, I cannot even tell you how much I relate to the former teacher who now works at Costco. Life is SO MUCH BETTER outside of teaching. When I first left I was working three jobs to make ends meet and I never knew life could be that good!
This is happening all over America, in many different professions, and it needs to be addressed
Yes someone finally said it. YES. I noticed that as well. In just about EVERY, and I mean every profession. It's insane. It's like....everything is falling apart with our worforce. Teachers, Doctors, the Police, Hospitals, etc.... It's crazy. I agree with you - IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, and I mean SERIOUSLY.
My sister’s finally quitting her job as a teacher. But it just took two teachers being hospitalized due to student attacks to do it…who wants to work to work for a place where essentially clients can assault and attempt to murder the workers?
Also your comment on helicopter parents isn’t accurate at least at my sister’s school. She’s LOVE to have a parent actually care about their kid. But I will admit most of her kids don’t have a stable home life. Most kids parents are dead, in jail, or on drugs in her case. It’s the administrator’s fault at her school.
Exactly. He says he's interviewed teachers but he has NO IDEA if he's talking about "helicopter parents". The worst school have absent parents, not helicopter parents.
Happens in life professions - nursing social care etc. teachers should be taught mapa
@@ericadavenport2039 There are some teachers that just complain about the parents; I’ve seen them online. But yeah the absent parents are worse because it signals a bad home life for the kid.
That last comment is definitely on point! All I wanted to do as a kid was past the stupid test so I could actually just do what I wanted to do with my life. College was not an option for me because I didn’t want debt. Best choice i ever made
What did you go in to?
We’re already in a recession...
Yes we are you're right, The Media are trying to play down the fear and act like we're not in one but we are in one and we've been in one for quite some time now, how else do you explain all these mass layoffs that keep occurring?
This is a great reminder to stick to my plan of homeschooling. So tough. So worth it.
Applause and Encore, my friend, you literally hit the nail, on the head with this one.
Soul crushing ..... Yep, that's teaching. Then add to that parents bullying you at the end of a long hard day.
My bully was a psychopath admin.
Home educator here - I won’t be laid off 😂 and yes, totally agree that government schooling today in America is a dumpster fire. We love home education - a Charlotte Mason method living education ❤
I make dinner at home so chef layoffs won't affect me.... same relevance
@@stevenp25100 home education is such a blessing to my family, I hope more parents and more teachers find ways outside of the government schooling system to experience the blessing of small localized education as well, and avoid the relevance of teacher layoffs too 😄
Smart parent! Homeschooling was awesome for my children
Home schooling is a huge luxury don’t take it for granted, and also don’t judge parents who simply can’t homeschool
@@luck9837 any parent that truly wants to will make it happen.
Not once did you mention the actual problem that the teachers are facing. You're saying they can't juggle it all, are overwhelmed, burnt out... but why? The lack of support by admin and the parents who are failing their kids.
Sadly admin are not supported either. It’s hard to be the blame of everything but have your hands tied without options in many cases.
I’m a high school teacher in California. Mild/Moderate special education. They beg me to stay every year. Not enough of us. I grossed 86k in the central valley last year. Only my 7th year teaching. So many ways to make extra money at the high school level that most elementary or middle school teachers just don’t really get. Extended day and coaching sports are probably the main avenues to bump up the salary without going into administration. Sucks to see other teacher struggling or even leaving the profession all together early in their career. It’s definitely not for everyone.
The hand, heartbeat and insulative layer verbal illustration was on point!
TEACHERS get my utmost respect. I hope that we can really take care of our teachers. A valuable teacher are those who have a gift in passing down their valuable skills/knowledge on a certain subject and do it with the hopes that there will be a student that will be enlightened. Those that make a mark in someone's life with knowledge. WHO help students begin to think for themselves. ❤ GOD protect those educators who do just that. 🙏
what a bull
@a nmj no its not a bull. I didn't say that the education system as it is currently is working...the SYSTEM SUCKS, NOT THE TEACHERS.
Not the teachers of late; they're merely baby sitters and indoctrinators. Especially in higher education, almost all are left wing robots.
2017 I took a position with ccsd in Vegas as a manufacturing engineering teacher at one of their high schools. I came out of industry to do it…. I CHOSE to take a 50% pay cut in my career to try teaching because I’d always wanted to do it! Students were great! Parents were great! I didn’t actually finish the first year though and left and went back to industry because all the games and politics and extra useless crap that was required of me outside of the classroom. When I was wasting my time at the crime mob museum in Vegas on my weekend because it was required for my credentials yet had literally nothing to do with my curriculum I knew it wasn’t for me. The district supplied almost no course work either. Out of the 3 different classes I was teaching… 2 of them I had to create the entire curriculum from scratch.
Just wasn’t worth the insanity it put me through. I gained a new respect for the work but moved along and haven’t looked back. I can definitely say I gave it my all though. Just a little bit of support from the district with some teaching materials and less pointless requirements of me on my own time would’ve probably allowed me to succeed.
I don’t understand why they keep throwing money at teachers, when cutting out the BS paperwork, etc. would keep teachers and they would bring in more with their positive comments about teaching. So much nonsense paperwork, it is ridiculousl.
I almost applied there...funny
The games are the teacher 's unions fault.
When I started homeschooling 5 years ago a few people said “don’t do it” or had negative feelings. No one tells me that now.
It’s good but also hard, especially when my kids get sick and we can’t do our normal homeschool outings. It can shake my confidence to have them all stuck at home for a week or two. Sometimes I feel like a failure when that happens, then I go and listen to stuff like this, and feel like it’s OK.
I’m a teacher and you couldn’t pay me to go back to retail. Teaching is not horrible.(currently 15 years in. Teaching in California ). Maybe in other states it’s not worth it to teach, but in others (like Cali ) it’s still a great and well paying profession even with the changing demands.
I really wish we had a legitimate off-ramp other than a standard, college-prep diploma. Kids like the welder he mentioned would be better served with a work study HS program. And it would free other kids and teachers up for legitimate college prep. By trying to prepare all kids for college, there's a lot of kids we aren't preparing for anything.
Every child should have the same opportunity to go to school of his choosing. I always thought those 4 years of HS where a waist of time for a lot of reasons, but school isn't all about learning from a text book, it's about getting to see other people where nowhere else would you experience and get challenged then school at that age. I absolutely hated going to school never felt included, but I still did my hardest got 3.8 GPA without the possibility of going to 4 year university because of fear of getting into a huge debt. I just couldn't afford it. 😢 there went my 4 year degree and efforts down the toilet. Thankfully, I took my studies very seriously and did a lot of internships my last year as a Plan B in case college wasn't an option due to not being able to afford it.
@@lavidamia9 Every child has the same opportunities! If you are a minority, there is so much free money. Pamela was saying that separating students into what they want to do would make classes run more smoother. You would not have a student in class that did not want to be there. There are so many students that have no interest in school and would do great learning a trade. As a teacher, I see it all the time and we have to spend time on discipline issues, which takes away learning time from students that want to be there.
@@monikaw1369 there are teachers who believe every person deserves a good education and then there are those who believe that just because your a minority you get free money and life is so much better....
Honestly it's hard to find vocational teachers. A plumber is going to look at a introductory teacher salary and laugh. The other thing is the unions. Taking a plumbing or electrical course in school doesn't guarantee you a spot in the union. Some are good about it and some less so.
Stop clutching your pearls!!!! LOL, love it!!!
Ken: “don’t worry about a recession”
Also Ken: “layoffs are coming to teachers”
Exactly I hate the fear mongoreing myself but after that bank collapse this is just the start of a financial crises Rollercoaster. His job is to be a career coach hence the reason he is in denial.
I am a business owner in the transportation sector. I can see shipping orders dropping like a rock.. Most factories in our area are slowing way down. Places just haven't came out and said layoff.. I am thinking we are going to see the start of real layoffs in the month of June or July. Be prepared because it is going to hurt.
Preach it Ken!
Love this show!
Amen, Ken!!!!! The American public school system of years past served us well enough educate the likes of Ray Bradbury, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Steven Spielberg. The “reforms” implemented over the last 30 years have sucked the joy out of learning for students and disillusioned too many of our most talented teachers. It’s is a dumpster fire, indeed.
I left teaching for finance in 2022. Teaching just became a mess. 7 years in public schools.
Our school laid off 3 staff members in each level (E, M, HS) and one teacher for the next school year.
I am pretty certain that one teacher if he/she teaches STEM, can find a job ANYWHERE
I agree Ken, Standardized testing is a waste of time. My cousin's daughter switched from a public school midway through the 21/22 school year because she wasn't getting the attention she deserved and her parents thought the district had too many students and not enough schools (2 middle schools to 1 high school).
The people actually doing frontline work are fairly safe in layoffs. Those going to meetings all day pumping up each other tires are fair game to be for layoffs.
Facts
If your a middle manager supervisor your gone in next year
I agree, I see that in healthcare. They need more frontline workers. On another note, I keep hearing this whole idea going around that there's "tons of opportunities in administrative healthcare." We cannot all be admin who the hell would be on the front line?
They’re also quietly quitting and taking FMLA leave and burdening those of us who are not afforded those luxuries. Its a quiet mess!
As a parent, you tell your kids that if they get lost, the safest person is probably a mom with a child. I also tell my kids to be leery of people who say they like kids but have none of their own.
Teachers are spread thin as it is. I can't believe anyone goes into education anymore, which is a shame.
Teachers are needed in almost every position here at the public private and higher education level.
I think the entire concept behind our education system is outdated. Sure, teach the kids reading, writing, arithmetic, computers, and how to use the internet. Maybe by the 4th or 5th grade they can be done with formal school. You can learn anything else you want to on the internet. By the time they're 12, they can start learning something that they actually want to do, rather than wasting time sitting in a classroom memorizing random trivia facts that no one remembers.
Clearly, you haven't been IN a classroom in sometime if your concept of high school is "sitting in a classroom memorizing random trivia facts." I don't mean that harshly, but your view is far from reality. Students are being taught to think critically and to evaluate. They are learning how to solve problems. They are pushed to grow all of their higher-level thinking skills. Students are provided the opportunity to gain "soft skills" employers value and, in many cases, skills for trades that can become lucrative careers. I encourage you to visit your local high school and check it out!
@@dking1362 I've been in plenty of classrooms as early as 4 years ago, but none were high school, they were all purpose built classes for a specific job. I'm very skeptical of your claims, as they completely contradict anything I or anyone I have ever known would associate with the public education system at the high school level. That said, a 30 something man hanging out in a high school and watching kids learn when he has no kids there isn't going to fly.
@@user-tz5uq2bt1s You have a fair point about the inability to observe first-hand (I was thinking you could talk to administrators/teachers/tour the building to observe.) However, I can assure you that my "claims" are true; there are many, many excellent teachers out there. I can't decide whether to scoff or weep at your claim that you don't know "anyone" who would assert that these skills are taught in high school. I will agree that there is a wide range in quality and rigor across public schools as well as among individual teachers. Even in 8th grade, we begin prepping kids for their future; we take them to tour one public, one private, one vocational, and one two-year post-secondary school and 2 different workplaces to hear from employers. Remember, too, that part of the responsibility for learning lies on the learner; the most engaging, skilled, challenging teacher in the world cannot teach a rock. Student apathy and misbehavior is an enormous problem, but I contend that most students who want a good education can still receive one in their public school. That being said, your idea is interesting. I have often thought that students should be permitted to drop out after 8th grade, with the stipulation that they will not be eligible for ANY government aid and with a one-time opportunity to return, should they change their mind. If they prefer to work and can get a job, or have family that will let them live on the couch, go for it - it would alleviate many of the behavior difficulties we deal with. In my experience, most simply don't have the discipline or know-how to self-direct their learning at the young age you propose. Nice chatting with you in a respectful way despite our different views.
So how do you thing medical and dental schools are going to recruit their next crop of students? I am sure not from YOUR school of thought🤣
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart For anything requiring hands on, obviously physical presence schooling is required. As for how certain schools (ie medical and dental) would recruit, that's up to the school, isn't it?
There is so much paperwork in the special education department. Ridiculous! Paperwork is really going to make them a better student.
My hope is that the public education system crumbles. People need to wake up and homeschool. If I had young kids right now I’d rather live in a one bedroom apartment driving a single 10 year old car with a family of four but be able to home school. Trust me - you will never regret it!
I have so much respect for teachers. The criticism, work conditions, and lack of pay they receive is disgraceful. I taught for 14 years before leaving to home educate my own children and replace my meager pay with babysitting and tutoring (and that was with a Master's degree). I fully support public schools because it is the best chance most children have for an education but there is no way my children will ever attend public school. We need an education overhaul and until state and federal government understands what teachers have and are screaming at the top of their lungs that their students (and educators) need it will never happen.
I would have left the field as soon as I saw that kid brutally attack that teacher for that Nintendo switch incident
Yeah that happened in DeSantis' backyard!
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart it would have happened in any of state governor's backyards
That wasn’t a teacher. It was a instructional aid with zero training.
@@Michael-pf1in Ah, that justifies the outcome...
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart Not at all. Admin obviously dropped the ball.
Is it any wonder? When covid came along our family moved to homeschooling. At last count 1 million students didn’t return to the classroom. At least in my state enrollment drives tax funds.
Given the massive, nationwide teacher shortage, I seriously doubt there will mass layoffs.
It’s scary to think what schools will be in 20 years when the kids in school now are old enough to be teachers. I figure either public schools as we know it will be gone, or they will have become a public/private enterprise that provides a public service to children and families, but no longer managed by state governments. There simply just won’t be enough teachers, unless there is a fundamental change in how are public primary schools are run.
People should unite!
Hahaha I am retiring this June. 32 years and done! Amen 🙏. The recent changes in education is the slow decimation of it! A Recessiom has already occurred. 😮 I liked 👍 standard testing as it made teachers have a basic curriculum.
Well said……only 8 years here.
I don’t see any jobs 36k or above that don’t list college degree as a requirement outside of the trades
I find that very hard to believe for many reasons.
So many are leaving education on their own, may cut the number of those laid off.
The best timing model is from the real estate model. The Bubble That Broke the Bank argues that the magic year is 2026. The real estate crash is based on vast changes coming to the real estate industry. The collapse of property values and income will result in layoffs for teachers. The vaporization of billions of dollar will impact the employment industry. Colleges and Universities are facing an enrollment crisis with changing demographics. Community Colleges working class students are not staying in the "cheap college education".
KEN- two weeks ago you posted a video saying the numbers show a recession "or worse" is very likely. Do you think we don't remember that???
Ken wants to make money...:)
In the public schools between K and 12th grade there’s not enough teachers anyway wow what they do how they work really hard they actually need more because there’s so many children that are so bad
This was good…..
Nobody is going to be cynical about this. Everyone knows the public education system has taken a bad turn.
As a former college professor and K-12 teacher all i can say is...🤷🏾♂️...😂
I would not exactly consider udemy an education company x) theyre more like a paywalled youtube for courses
Isn't there a shortage in teachers
There is....because they left the teaching field...sadly
Bring back the PADDLE!! Because some parents are too afraid to discipline their child these days.
Teaching is more responsibility IMO that shit is tough
They need to make sure to get rid of the bad and keep the good
Don't forget to add how horribly teachers are treated by their students nowadays too. Teachers getting verbally and physically assaulted. WTF
So many teachers are politicians. Where I'm from a lot of our state legislatures are teachers. So from where I sit. The problem lies say there feet
Rattle that paper!
Luckily for these folks planning budget cuts teachers are still leaving in droves due to piss poor administration, dogshit parents, and state regulations shielding bad behavior of the worst behavioral offenders in the student body.
The education system is not efficiently operating. Costs in the education industry have increased the rate of inflation since 1980. At the same time educational performance has declined. The problem is NOT that teachers are paid too little. The problem is there is too much staff and administrators creating more costs and more bureaucracy. This is the truth that should be told.
How much different our schools would be if NOTHING changed except that all children coming into our classrooms would be respectful, willing to put forth effort, and do their work! Many of the most important changes needed are the responsibility of PARENTS, who teach their children the attitudes, language, and behavior that go a long way to making their child a school success story. That alone would make learning (and, in turn, standardized tests) soar.
And the second most important factor needed? Administrative support for teachers.
(P.S. Teacher here who is going to make a controversial comment...a standardized test once a year can provide valuable information. When every student in the state who is being taught the same curriculum is evaluated in the same (standard) way, it can help a teacher identify their own strengths and weaknesses and provide solid data to share with parents about a student's progress and achievement. The problem with the tests are 1.) the MONEY tied to the tests, which in turn leads to... 2.) the PRESSURE of the tests; and 3.) the TIME that test prep and administration take away from quality instruction and learning.)
Then why are so many public schools adding non-academic material to the curriculum? School is for academics. That’s it.
@@katydid2877 I largely agree....I have been EXTREMELY frustrated by my current principal's lack of concern over excellence in academics, preferring instead to prioritize "helping kids heal from the trauma of Covid" (umm....wouldn't a return to normal facilitate that?) and keeping parents happy by not demanding too much. That being said, intentionally or not, much more than academics are taught in school: the adults' beliefs about work ethic, respect, kindness, organization, cooperation, priorities, conflict resolution, and much more are modeled every day.
Can someone explain how we somehow have record low unemployment in the midst of hundreds of massive corporate layoffs?
Wait I thought they were desperate for teachers? Government is too involved in schools. I quit for the same reasons that girl did.
What is really wrong with the education system is too much government involved in it.
Give up that teacher’s pension, and all of those holidays off for a job at Costco. Genius!
Teacher pension is overrated. Plus in Texas, many ISD’s don’t pay into SS. Health insurance is the worst. My spouse was a teacher for 30 years in Texas and pension is less than what SS benefits would be. Not eligible for Medicare at retirement. Won’t be able to collect on my SS benefits either due to GPO (Hero’s Penalty). Salary is extremely low in Texas. Many need second jobs during breaks and summers to make ends meet.
@@MB-uy5kh that sounds awful. When put into context like that, then yeah, it seems like any other job may be a better bet. It’s sad that as a society we don’t really pay the most important members of our society very well, whether that’s teachers, cops, factory workers, etc.
There are no Teachers who are they going to lay off??
I can feel the agenda oozing in this monologue
Sorry to say but we need standardized tests. We need some objective marker in academia. I mean you wouldn't want your cardiologist to have his license based on his subjective passion for it rather than a competence for it.
✝️🙏
always have two jobs and millions in the bank so when your over employed and get laid off you have zero fear. You need to have control of your life to many are like I'm helpless 🤣 take control
You can prep also ! I never shop on weekly basis I always have prepped pantry for 6 months at least ! For dental products/ clothes and things so get lay off all have worry about is rent and simple basic bills. People have too many outings at times too - wifi ( not always needed , flashy car not always needed , tv channels ( u can get it free )
@@sarahmc8309 very smart 👌
I don’t believe this at all. There’s a teacher shortage. They can’t lay off teachers. Who is going to teach the kids? This is ridiculous.
Declining enrollment.
does Cole ever do his own Research ''' instead of just relying on FOX news .."""
Good. These woke groomers should get cut out of the system. Not all educators are like that, but a large majority are and if we can get rid of even 20-50% that'd be wonderful
Cellphones in the classroom. The single most disruptive issue teachers deal with on a daily basis.
Stop blaming the helicopter parents. They’re helicoptering b/c the public school system sucks. If it was better, there wouldn’t be a need for helicoptering. And now you want to get rid of standardized testing? You need to gauge academic progress.
My sister is currently teaching. She’s not concerned with helicopter parents. She’s actually love to have some because her students are just bad. They play hooky all the time that she’s literally bribing kids to show up because there’s a no fail policy so they can legit do nothing and pass so they do nothing. Then you hear of the assaults and there was a near murder at the school because a kid kept beating a teacher. And the teacher was punished more than the kid and what caused the assault the teacher got in the middle of an angry kid and this girl who literally just asked if the other kid was alright and tried to de escalate the situation.
It’s madness at that school and I’m glad she’s leaving.
in the world we live in, most kids without helicopter parents end up being a net negative to society
The corrupt department of education should end the ridiculous amount of testing, which costs millions and use that money to retain quality teachers.
school funding in CA is tied to the average standardized test score of the school, the school with the highest average standardized test score is rewarded with most of the funding
Great vent, but stand up & do what exactly? I’m doing my masters of teaching & I will be honest this talk does nothing to strengthen me getting into the field. Even in our courses they talk a lot about people leaving the industry & the issue of overworking teachers. Go into the field which has one of the highest stressing factors, high work hours & low pay. Good lord
You couldn’t pay me enough to be a teacher today.
Make sure you take your money out of the bank if you want to keep it. Just saying.
I for one would LOVE to see college professors and lecturers go on the breadline.They have been milking students for too long causing students to have to go into massive debt to get an education. The future of higher learning is A.I and the Internet.
The schools started teaching the children parents could not punish them. Most of what you speak about can be traced back to teachers causing these problems in the first place. I have no sympathy for teachers who pay union dues and teach union policy (aka D.I.E.) in the classroom.
Good. Public school is awful.
Ken? Did you graduate clown college? There is a teacher shortage because they can make more bartending.
Why can't we learn something from the Finnish public school system?
Like?
They can organize themselves to go out on strike for a raise. But yet they can't organize themselves to fix the education problem and help the future of our kids? So it's hard to have pity.
That's why we need YOU in the team!
Teachers union is the primary pusher of 'social justice'.
The ultimate irony would be the 'social justice' of putting them on the streets.
Privately funded Christian teachers have no worries.
Hope it hits public indoctrination hard.
