I have 3 years until I can retire and teaching has gotten so bad I and other teachers I know have had to go on anti depressants. Sounds like you are in a southern state. Please keep speaking up! I have also gotten in trouble for doing that and will continue. The disruptions and violence and horrible parents has become overwhelming
@asnathnyabagala9292 Get a job as a school custodian. You'll take a bit of a pay cut, but you still get state insurance, benefits and retirement without the stress of being a teacher.
I'm sharing my experience with you since you were very kind and thoughtful to invite us to this exchange. I'm a 24 yo male teacher, I live in Algeria and graduated from a teacher training college for elite high school students. my first experience teaching was a year ago in elementary school. it was okay-ish since students are very young, very innocent, and very easy to deal with. but the responsibility of taking care of them was a bit overwhelming since most of them are super hyperactive now I'm a high school teacher, and lemme tell you, I WANNA QUIT I was disrespected, laughed at, was treated super very extremely poorly by students most students are on drugs, they have no will or desire to study classrooms look like a prison, the parents don't really care and we are expected to do everything I was also threatened many times by students lol
Ahhh 😱…. So I also have a friend that went to high school and had the same experience. She moved back to elementary and found a better district or area to teach at and now she’s on her 9th year! If it’s your passion don’t give up. Also I love montessorri and Waldorf education. I never worked in those school but I feel like they might be better 👍 wish you the best ❤️
I just quit my latest teaching contract after about a 7-year-hiatus. I was so frustrated and anxious every day. The workload was ridiculous and I had little help. I’m curious what former teachers do after leaving classrooms?
Yes I’m curious to know as well, comment here and share with us ✨❤️ I also have a background and degree in psychology so I went into social work and counseling. I more restarted an online school through Teachable where I do courses on various life topics, I also do crafts and my daughter and I started a pop up shop we do on weekends 💜🩷
To me school is like prison. Which means that even if half of the kids are manifestly incapable of learning in that environment the establishment still wants to control them just for the sake of maintaining control, even if that is to no discernible purpose. But the very notion that everyone needs to be doing the same thing at the same time for 13 years is insane. As after all, probably half of all college graduates, who plainly can and did cope with school, end up finding no use for their degrees and end up going into the trades, something they could have done without even completing high school in many cases.
I graduated HS in 2017. I wasn’t someone who was able to go to college immediately because of financial problems and of course then Covid happened, but around 2021 I revisited my high school to talk with a teacher who was kind enough to give me a letter of recommendation, that helped me get in. I was shocked when I couldn’t enter without speaking to an intercom that was recording me. It was also confusing the way they had it set up because there were no directions on where to go, you just had to find this little box to speak into. Hilariously (or sadly) enough, these protective measures didn’t even WORK because a high school kid, who clearly was acting like this wasn’t the first time it’s happened, just let me inside. I understand the elephant in the room reason why, but it’s just really sad that kids even have to worry about this and have to go to school like it’s TSA. Educators are so important and it’s clear you care, I’m glad you stepped away. Us education needs complete reform Edit: this is in NC where I’m from. Also when I was in high school they were just starting to integrate chromebooks heavily. I actually remember even as a kid hating it a TON. It was such a hassle and a laptop always got stolen. Also the idea of someone’s entire education revolving around technology made by a business is strange to me. Google doesn’t need to educate every child lol
Thanks for the important sharing. I also quit teaching, last year. Though there is whistleblowing policy in schools, increasingly, the policy of "not burning bridges" diffuses the urge to complain, not to mention its impact. Pls continue making your valuable content!
@@SchoolofScarlett no prob! Another example of speaking up, but as an adjunct... I noticed that fellow thesis supervisors were earning more when they had smaller classes (cos marking own class is a fixed fee regardless of class size, while being second marker of another class's submissions is by per submission), I decided to bring this up. Guess what, they simply removed the need for adjuncts to be second markers. See how my little feedback sabotaged my own and fellow adjuncts' income?
What is the worst elementary grade? I'm in kindergarden now, they want me in 4th. I hear 4th graders are mean, I see people in the comments saying the quit 3rd graders. What happened..
I enjoyed pre k and kindergarten just not the parents but 5th grade they were disrespectful and quite frankly pretty gross in their language and behavior
I like grades 1-2 a lot for teaching my music students (I am in Canada and teach music for ages 2-adult in various settings including a couple of Montessori schools). Kindergarten is sometimes a little on the extra silly side, but grade one and two have learned a bit more of how to function but you’re still older and taller (I’m 4’8, so I’ve met some kids who are 7 who are taller than me, but generally I’m still taller until they’re at least 8!) and have a bit more respect coming in. Grade 3 or 4 and students start getting too into technology and too ‘cool’ to be respectful.
This is why no employee of a public institution should be compelled to sign a NDA. The public is paying for the schools and has every right to know what is happening in those schools. Anuthing being hidden probably shouldn't be happening in the first place, that is for the taxpayers to decide. God bless our teachers.
I believe that Lawrence Fishbourne said it best in the film "Boys in the Hood " when it came to his personal opinion about the public education system as well as the aptitude test....He stated "Those tests are culturally biased....the only subject which holds direct facts are the area of math."..He was absolutely correct....I wanted to pursue a career in teaching American History in particular but I realized that the system was not going to allow me to teach the entire spectrum of American History.......talk about censorship.
Only failing administrator would monitor your social media,etc. They know for all the money they're getting paid that they are failing and they don't care.
The next one will be on here! Next Wednesday June 12th, at 12 pm central time. I’ll put a reminder on the community tab. Sometimes I’m on instagram or tik tok . Same name school of Scarlett ❤️
I taught math for 1 year and I left to go to the navy 😆 I am a math major with business and general science on my side and when i was teaching math in a high school, I told kids about going to the military is an option... then I realized... I'm still young enough to go to the military and probably can get paid more.... best decision in my life. I want to teach again, but only if Vance is in office when I come back.
Vance?? The misogynist? The one who supports laws that are causing women who have complications not to get care??? Please don't go back into teaching. We don't need anymore toxic males teaching young women.
The gray walls are very sad to hear about. Charter schools unfortunately aren’t much better in terms of unbearable workloads for teachers. Have you heard of Reggio Emilia?
Thank you for watching comment down below any of your opinions or experiences with education
Been teaching elementary for 7 yrs. I quit as well. I finished the 2023/2024 yr. 3rd grade math.
7 yrs! That’s great! ❤️💜✨

Yes I’m in Texas and near Houston. Houston has actually been taken over by TEA it’s that bad.
I need to quit this teaching right now but I'm not sure what to do after quitting 😢

Thanks for your comment! There’s going to have to be a change and people are starting to see this 👍✨
Trades definitely need to make a COMEBACK!! I think they are, gratefully!

they think it “saves money” bc less printing

Yup 👍
I love your passion ❤

What are you doing now?
Teaching online. I started an online school on a platform called teachable where I create courses 👍✨
@@SchoolofScarlett thats awesome ! Thank you for answering ❤️
Hello. I curious about your non-duality meetings on Y/T. When do they start?
The next one will be on here! Next Wednesday June 12th, at 12 pm central time. I’ll put a reminder on the community tab. Sometimes I’m on instagram or tik tok . Same name school of Scarlett ❤️
It's pathetic. People work so much they make their work their interests, so you get men making them this sports focused prison.
What?

Military starts at a little above minimum wage.
