You are 100 % correct. Today we have the wonders or science that xacn tell us about the origins of the universe, xan ells us how and why things work but yet man is in deep shit as far as socially is concerned. I finished school in 1970 School wasnt always fair, he teachers could be horrible at times I admit. Now we live in an age where some parents dont care, some lack morals once taught at home and also spiritual values now all laughed at by smart arse so called progressive liberals. On top of that kids now have rights so they mouth off thinking they are untouchable Sadly that is shortsighted as they will reach 18 to find they cant touch smart arse kids too. Further more some of thse kids think they are beyond the law, well that is until they think they can smuggle drufs in Simgapore and Indonesia and wind up on death row or life in a rat infested Asian prison 9 Austalians thought they were untouchable 7 are either doing life or 20 years, the other came back to Australia in coffins after going before a firing squad.
Leigh Foulkes What! Where did you get the idea that it’s the poor kids raising all the hell in schools? It’s all races and crosses socio economic lines.
@@TheSnyderWeb : Thats true. My thought was that there is a lack in upbringing these kids. But it might be false upbringing. Anyway, it's a shame whats going on.
I had a teacher in high school is pretty cool, he got in trouble because he failed some dumb ass student. Ironically, the class was creative writing Edit: my bad, it was short story literature
I was fired for stimulating my students to analyze their own emotional motivations (feelings) for their bad behaviors, even though my strategy was working beautifully: I was having much less indisciplined students, they seemed happier, they were more collaborative, more friendly with each other, their grades improved et cetera. I abandoned my career as a math teacher in 2010 and got a job in a completely different area (aeronautics). Parents and schools are doing a disservice to students and teachers. The bill will come to us all as a society in a not-so-distant future.
As a former student in Colorado, when I acted up in class, I got sent to the principal, who on occasion as an elementary student spanked me, and into high school if I was too bad I’d get in-school detention where I’d spend the day in a small room with nothing but a desk and my work. I hated many of my teachers, and that’s the way it should be because I learned about behaving in society and working hard when you’re supposed to. My teachers weren’t “cool friends”, they were jerks to me, because I was a jerk. My wife now is an elementary counselor and the kids are absolutely in control of that school, being violent and disrespectful and no one can discipline them and parents don’t do anything. The teachers and principal get emotionally attached to too many individual kids and have that Florence Nightingale effect where they think they can help these kids, but the kids manipulate them, and the needs of the GOOD students are sacrificed because there’s a “code green” and every teacher has to run out of their classes and chase little armando who’s throwing staplers around the room. And they just get all the other kids out of the classroom and try to talk sweetly to Armando and calm him down. And they spend hours like that. Society is doomed.
Minnie Me people don’t understand this. But you are exactly right. Throw as much money at education as you want, but unless there’s accountability for parents for their child’s behavior, nothing will truly change
Tea 4 2 it could be improved by making parents legally culpable until the child is 18; returning corporal punishment to the teachers; and instilling discipline in children. I’m not talking about a militaristic regimen, just take it back 60 years, to a minimum of dress requirements , sitting quietly, daily fitness, etc
Yes, so true!! My daughter will be teaching her children at home.. between the teachers leaving and (proper parenting )parents teaching their kids at home..The public school will just be a prison for the degenerates..It’s the parents fault..
@@49558201 Well then, there in lies the problem. But you are allowed to teach about all this transgender crap right? Also your teaching it's okay if you a girl but want to be a boy and visa versa. Now what or why should that be okay and allowed in the class room? These kids are being confused by this kind of stuff now brought into the classroom! Are you not allowed to talk about morals either? Then you wonder why there now is a crisis in the class rooms, common sense tells you how it got to be where we are now.
@@palefeathervaldez3563 Exactly, they cant teach morals but they can teach our kids to be gay and to not identify with their gender! Im not buying into this bs. Most teachers are full of crap!
This seems to the root of the problem. Kids act up and the school attempts to stop it and the parents come in and complain and then the principal gives in because they feel unsupported by their superiors. In the end bad behaviour is reinforced and encouraged.
I’m a hairdresser of 48 years and I can say the conversations with educators are all the same. Horrifying. What will our country become in 15 -20yrs. I see it as the breakdown of the family and parents not responsible. Too many babies born to irresponsible people. Teachers are there to educate not raise the children
helene mc govern I was just about to say the same thing. I feel terrible for the teachers and listening to my clients has actually confirmed that I made the correct choice with homeschooling my own child.
being a teacher was hair raising, I will ltell you that -- now all the school boards are made up of dumb non readeeres from the third world who shout and stick their finger in your eye, like that Omar critter -- there is no more learning, just a sea of anger and wanting to get degrees without putting in the work to gain the knowledge, dumb and dumber! Blue states are breeding grounds for ignorance
But if they dont raised there kids then they will be label or accused If a teacher even ask FOR HOMEWORK she or he can get accused of something other THAN What was SAID and the school and principal will stand against that teacher
I taught for decades. I left before I really wanted to because I just couldn't take it anymore. The system is broken. Teachers get very little support. Behavior is out of control. Administrators micromanage to the point of harassment. My job became unbearable. Ironically I miss teaching, but I need to take care of myself more.
I watched teachers who were seeing psychiatrists and taking potent psychotropic drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, etc. because they were having emotional breakdowns. I was on the verge of becoming the same way. When I quit, I never looked back and I will not apologize for it.
Our entire system is deplorable! It's not even reparable.. Take GOD out of the schools, this is the result! Turn our back to GOD, and he will turn his back on us. The entire system has gone to hell... People have lots their minds, and are morally Bankrupt! IT WILL GET MUCH WORSE.... 😢 (If possible)
@@kimberlyhicks3644 . Good for you, I don't blame you one bit! I too have seen first hand what's going on with our schools... It's a freaking joke! Utterly disgusting. Morally Bankrupt! I honestly don't think it can be fixed! I'm not a pessimist, it's just that BAD. Should have never taken GOD out of our schools. May peace be with you. And you find yourself teaching children that want to learn. 🙏☮️
Many children don't want to go to school, and I don't blame them. They will act out that way because they don't want to stay in school learning what they don't care about. Have you guys thought of that? I didn't care for school, I was not a good student I was forced to be there and I felt I was waisting my time, this had nothing to do with my parents, my parents wanted me at school because they thought it was the best for me, and they were wrong, I dropped out and now I am an entrepreneur and I manage my own business, that's all I wanted to do ever since I was little. You force the children to go to school, this is what you will get. The school system is outdated. Love and light to you all.
@Mario Mendoza Smart and civilized enough to be in a classroom. That's rich. I would pay to NOT have my children be around a bunch violent, drugged-up freaks you find in the average public school classroom, to say nothing of the perverted liberal losers running them.
Parents don't have the time because they are working themselves to an early grave. Nice that teachers have a union but no one else in this country are aloud to have one.
As a therapist, I have teachers as clients that are complaining of the same thing. The kids are more violent and the teachers are less supported. It's so sad.
It got worse after restorative justice was implemented under the guise of preventing the school to prison pipeline, under the guise that black students were being reported more for violence and disruptive behaviors simply due to racism not because they are actually acting out. Teacher's hands were tied by it. The violence escalated. Those black children were sacrificed on behalf of a false narrative. The problem isn't racism. It is far more complex. Parents should consider not teaching the children that the world is against them, and be parents instead of blaming society for their failures. I want to see them succeed. As it stands they are set up to fail.
it was getting pretty bad when i was in middle school. highschool wasnt too bad because the people causing trouble skipped it and dropped out. but my class was like one of the smallest graduating classes the school had. i assume its worse now. especially from what my sister has said happens in the schools. she used to be a teacher and now volunteers and theres been a few times she's pulled her kids out of the classroom because of other kids
This was my last year teaching. I taught for years and loved it. But..... there’s only so much that can be done in the classroom. There’s talk of a school to prison pipeline, but that pipeline starts at home.
If you think a classroom is bad, try driving a school bus; 60-70 kid's. NO HELP! Driving the bus AND getting the kid's to behave... Just KEEPING THEM SEATED is a full time job! Corporal Punishment NEEDS to be reinstated! Kid's have NO REASON to behave because there is NO CONSEQUENCES to their action's. Prison's will be FULL of these kids in a few year's! They truly believe The Rule's do NOT apply to them!
Smurfette Did It ; That is politician's in a certain city protecting their hired thugs. Nothing more. If those same thugs came where I live, & did the same as they do in Portland, I assure you, THEY WOULD GO TO JAIL.
Lucky Me ; Your comment isn't reality. The Narcissist you speak of are a handful of these kids. It is a very small percentage; the same kids everyday, that cause the problem's. They do so thinking they are above the Rule's. Soon enough, they think they're above the Law. These few are the one's who cuss out their teacher's, assualt their teacher's, & so on. If they haven't learned they aren't the center of the universe by 5 or 6, when they hit their teens, I assure you, it's too late. No one but you is talking of beatings. A swat on the bottom is NOT a beating. No one need's that kind of drama. Those of us who actually work in the school system get enough of that everyday.
Catherine Hazur ; 😂😂😂 No one ever accused me of being PC!!! My boss will have a good laugh when I show him this!😂😂😂 I thought the same. As a Navy Vet & former Truck Driver, I worried about my language & brutal honesty when I started driving buses in 2010. I've kept my language rated pg13. But I'm still brutally honest! Spoiled 11 year old boy... "When I grow up, I'm NOT following ANY RULE'S!" My reply.... (Nodding) "Prison's are full of people who say the same thing." That got his attention! He was a good boy from then on! I told an obnoxious 13 year old girl.... "Look up in the sky. See that big ball of fire? That's the Sun, Princess. That's the Center of our Universe. It's NOT You! Get over yourself, & sit down." If look's could kill, I would be 12 feet under! But she sat down! Nothing PC about me! Most of the kid's are great. Really! There are ALWAYS 3 or 4 that think they're "special", & above the Rule's. I pop that balloon very quickly! Otherwise, they set a bad example for my little one's; kindergarten & first grader's. These are the one's I guard like gold! Some older kids think it's funny to teach them bad language. I destroy that! "Ohh... They're going to learn it anyway? Okay! I'll set up a meeting with you & their parents. Then you can tell them why it's okay for YOU to teach their 5 year-old these words." No one ever took me up on that offer!😂😂😂😂😂 Most kid's like me. Some hate me. I don't care. I get them ALL to school SAFE every morning, & home SAFE every afternoon. THAT is what I care about!
The replies to this post seem to be the only intelligent ones. The economic shift has both parents working full time leaving the actual raising of their children to a 3rd party. Most parents, even though both are working non stop, can't even afford to pay their bills much less provide everything their children need. This stress trickles down hill: Mom and Dad work 50+ hours in a factory, can't pay bills, daycare is killing them, have very little time to spend with children, the time they do have to spend is stunted by financial disparity. Children sense the stress levels of the family, they start to realize what the real world is like by seeing their parent's struggles. Doesn't give the youth much hope does it? I went through this. I believe I raised my kids well, they are in high school and virtually no problems. But there were many years where I didn't see my children and we as a family lived off WIC food. My kids were raised mostly in daycare.
@Micdhael Masink - I have seen teachers hired from the Philippines in Palau and the Common Wealth of the Northern Mariana's Island (Saipan). First, I thought of their well educated reason we're hired. But, when I worked with several of them, they were under paid, due to their currency. I was troubled to understand it, because they were working as supervisor and Assistant managers, but getting lesser pay than all local hires. To me it's unfair!
@Micdhael Masink - so, I guess it's time to really think about who will bring change to America and vote for that change (person). It's the voters choice, not the politicians!
Too many kids are in crisis! It starts at HOME! I know because I taught elementary for 26 years. I retired early. There are so many kids I miss, but my mental health was too important to me.
I taught over 20 years ago and yes it was the parents then too. The incredible amount of "oh, not my child...it's you." was sickening. It is the parents. So glad I quit.
Mental Health programs for parents - parenting 101 to bring structure into the homes. ! Nanny 911 - the children are out of control but when Nanny sets boundaries even the children thank her and the family enjoys each other - ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=nanny+911+full+episodes Schools also need to set rules and have punishment for bad behavior!
@Wilfried Fuiscklam lol right??? You just know... you just KNOW... that's what will happen.. b/c that's what ALWAYS happens... that's the outcome for EVERYTHING!!! Why are we still so afraid of that word? It doesn't MEAN anything anymore!
Schools don't teach are children how to get a job after completing the courses, schools need to teach children about money and job training not just be daycare providers. Americans are dumb because we don't teach are children how to be competitive workers and about money and financial information.
That might work because the parents will lose their eight hour free babysitters. At the other end, the child will grow up with a bigger chip on their shoulder blaming the school system for failing them. Then they will feel even more entitled to act out. It's a really sad situation
The school district will not allow that to happen. They need all the students present on campus in order to get their money. Why do you think they allow these kids to do what they do? This is nation wide.
@@frankdunn1813 If I were the teacher I would just inconvenience them in the most petty ways possible if they did that. Such as moving their desk or school supplies, assigning extra homework and pop quizzes to misbehaving students.
My daughter accepted a teaching position to a school where “diversity is our strength” was the motto. Soon in she was exhausted. Kids had absolutely no respect for educators or being educated. They hire more translators to interpret from English to Spanish that my daughter can’t even teach. She is so passionate about teaching but is burnt out after only 2 years and is ready to move on. The administration does not care whatsoever. It’s truly sad.
Sounds like she was unrelateable to the children. As a teacher of many years I often see white women from middle and upper class backgrounds with many unchecked biases that join the education field to make a difference. However, they are blissfully unaware and insensitive to the needs of students from different backgrounds. Instead of learning how to tackle their own biases, they often just blame the kids without looking at their own behaviors. I have seen many of these teachers exhibit cold, harsh and aggressive behavior -often unknowingly- to nonwhite students. It’s easy to simply blame it on “diversity” when really, they were not a good fit due to their lack of experience with diversity in their own lives. Ultimately many leave because they simply aren’t a good fit. In my opinion, this is a better outcome, children deserve teachers they can connect to and also can cultivate and appreciate the differences within the community.
C W There is no need to make *EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES.* If students can't treat white teachers with any modicum respect, then how do you expect them to behave towards their white employers? Remember, majority of white employers always pay *BETTER WAGES* and give *FAIRER TREATMENTS* than nonwhite employers who treat all workers like turds. In reality, *NO* non-whites like to work for non-white employers who *EXPLOIT* and *PAY* peanut money. Majority of whites always pay quickly and pay fair.
@@pinklady7184 I challenge you to reread your statement and really evaluate if you have any biases coming through, which proves what I was trying to illustrate. Also, I agree that all teachers should be respected. I am NOT saying that there are not students with serious behavior issues. However, what I am saying is that often unconscious bias fuels many of these problems that can easily be solved with things such as effective classroom management strategies, teacher trainings, teacher diversity etc. You should be aware that many white students act out and have just as many behavior issues. I have seen this with my own eyes. The difference is they have more of a support system within the school and community. For example, my first year teaching 2nd grade, there were two rambunctious boys, one white and one Latino. They both would get into trouble constantly. The school ultimately expelled the Latino boy while the white student stayed and was given chance after chance, even after putting other children in headlocks, fighting etc. I was told "boys will be boys" and yet this same courtesy is not extended to all students. Over the years ive literally heard racial jokes and remarks come from the lips of teachers - the very same people that interact with the kids on a daily basis. Of course these mentalities affect their interactions with the kids in the classroom. I could give many more examples, and believe me I have had many 7:30 am meetings, afterschool meetings, Saturday trainings, college courses and almost a decade of teaching in the classroom, working with teachers, parents and children of all ages. It is easy to just say "Excuses Excuses" and be cold and not show empathy, especially to students of color. It is easy to do so than to figure out how you can be better for the children.
@@pinklady7184 when I was working as a waitress while in school, I remember no one at the restaurant wanted to take "diversity" clients because they never tip. Only "white" did.
Neighbourhoods are falling apart due to the increasing income inequality leading to families falling apart. Finance is the leading reason people get divorced or break up. Young people who have no father or mother look in all the wrong places for validation and end up like this young person who lashes out due to a very poor upbringing. Personal responsibility goes only so far. That kid who got up and threw a chair and whatnot, thats learned behavior from their impoverished surroundings.

@Sizzle Wrap There are obviously troubled high crime areas in poor black neighborhoods where kids create havoc in schools, but now it's spreading to white kids. It's not a coincidence considering that Antifa fascists are predominantly white rich liberals. It's the toxic victim mentality that ruins entire generations regardless of race. White kids used to be immune because there was no reason to feel like a victim, but nowadays everyone is constantly seeking victimhood status no matter how good they have it.
He is telling the truth. At my school we call the runners an "apollo". It is an everyday thing. Teachers and counselors are on anti depressants. The students are only part of the problem. Even worse than the students is the system that promotes people with narcissitic personality disorder to positions of authority such as principals. It is a HUGE mess.
OH NO! That is what is happening here in the UK! You have 22 or 23 year old heads of schools, some of which who haven't even taught in classrooms. Here in the UK, many people become teachers because they are so insecure about the real world and think that teaching is just an extension of college or university. They are extremely immature and narcissistic and these are usually the ones that become school leaders. This is one of the many reasons why I left teaching

Not true, most teachers go into it because they really want to teach. I was a teacher and so was my husband but we are both retired for same reason - and it wasn't the students, it was the horrible administrative people who had no idea what teachers do but thought they should control them at every opportunity and gave NO support for anything teachers need for classroom. It wasn't abuse by students but by non-teaching staff in downtown admin offices.
@@wolvenwood I totally agree. I had out of control students that wouldn't follow basic rules like not talking during tests. Implemeting consequenes could result in violent outbursts, death threats. The vice principle blamed me for not being able to "handle" my students, yet I was reprimanded for putting my hand on a students arm while ushering him out of the class. The message was don't bring your discipline problems to administration, handle it yourself.
It's the useless drones in the administration. They don't stand behind their teachers. My sister was a teacher for over 30 years and complained about this often. She retired at 59, enjoyed 1 yr of her retirement and shockingly passed away from AML Leukemia at 60. Miss you so much by her family and students old and young.

A lot of hogwash. It is the evil left. They dont even tell parent about all the sick things they are teaching them. All schoolboards need to be replaced with sane individuals. Heck kids are told to fink if parents discipline them.
@Barber of Seville men need to do better lots of broken homes so I'm not clueless. People now have no values and are quick to divorce them are surprised by the consequences so no I'm not clueless
Jbog07 I’d say it the opposite. Men have legal rights to see their children even after a divorce. But, many of the give up that right or withhold resources a punishment to the mother for divorcing them. They take their anger out on the mom, or simply choose to move on with their life. Many of these school-aged kids are old enough to have cell phones and be contacted by their father without a mother’s interference.
estote -- I say good riddance, Most teacher are closed minded Liberals. They need to-be taught how to let students decide , and teach fairness and honesty, very few of those left and that’s sad . So parents now need to be parents .
Also parents being overly tolerant with their kids shitty behavior. Doing nothing about shit is also why kids think their behavior is acceptable which in turn you now have an individual you indirectly taught to take advantage of you and doesn't give a fuck about anything because they know you are a weak parent and would stand by thier side no matter what wrong they did.
I was fired and gave up being a teacher because of this rigged system. I used to be a math teacher for undergraduate students (kids and teenagers) and figured out a way to influence them to stop arguing, fighting et cetera by promoting in-class open debates about those specific students that were being indisciplined. E.g. if student A yelled in the classroom and kept interrupting my class, I'd stop my math teaching and then would say something like "Ok, class, today we're gonna discuss student A and the possible reason or reasons why he/she enjoys yelling during our math classes. Anyone would like to start?" If no one started, I'd ask them something like "Do you think student A feels like he/she needs people's attention at school because he/she is not having enough love at home?". At this point students usually replied with "yes" and others with laughs (teenagers also reacted with "damn!" and similar things), but after this I'd say "What about if we all give student A a big hug?", then the students stood up, walked towards student A and gave him/her a hug. As a general rule, most of the times these indisciplined students reacted with embarrassed smiles that would later change into a smile of happiness. I noticed that this also reinforced friendship among students and therefore there were much less fights. Some students cried at such circumstances but then I talked to them after the class. These occasions also stimulated the development of the other students' empathy and inter-personal emotional intelligence. In general, it was clear to me that by exposing the root (psychological and emotional) cause of such students' bad behavior with the help of the other students I managed to emotionally "overpower" indisciplined students and then (later on) help them realize that by exposing and acknowledging their weaknesses they were actually "humanized" and accepted by their peers, which stimulated stronger emotional bonds among these students whilst they came to see me as someone who understood them on an emotional level and was there to encourage them to be better persons. I also had everyone's birthday in my calendar and everyday I'd tell if it's someone's birthday and ask the class to congratulate such student. About 1 year doing these things I had not a single problem with students (even though 2 of them were still trying to sell drugs to kids, in the public school where I was teaching). My success rate was around 95%, I'd say. This all happened between 2004 and 2010. I mean, I'm not a teacher anymore: because of my "controversial" method, eventually some parents complained to the school board that I was exposing their children to vexatious and embarrassing situations, and because I did not stop doing what I was doing (because it was clearly working) the school eventually fired me. I'm graduated not only in Math but also in Aeronautical Information Services, thus, after being fired I managed to get a job in aeronautics. Since then (2010-today), I've been working in the field of aeronautics and don't intend to leave it nor teach again. I agree with the argument that these students lack parenting, or, in a nutshell: *ethics, discipline and love.* You touch one's heart and you'll open the door to reach the other 2 (ethics and discipline). My classroom felt like a family or a brotherhood that "replaced" the lack of at-home parenting. This is what these terrible parents and school boards don't seem to understand.
Sound interesting. The problem with the school system is they keep their rules vague so they can always say you violated something when they get scared of lawsuits. Even in my state, there are clear rules against anything that may subject a student to humiliation. However, what humiliates someone is up for interpretation. Rather than outline guidelines for what can be considered humiliation, they leave it vague so they can use their discretion against you.
@@Polarcupcheck I agree. Either the rules are vague, or they're clear (e.g. "don't humiliate students no matter what. There's no justification to such behavior") but lack definitions (e.g. if different people react differently to the same stimulus, behavior, circumstance, what's an "humiliating" stimulus, behavior, circumstance? Context is important, even though it's ignored most of the times) and ignore pedagogical results (as the ones that I was achieving). It's very disappointing. I feel sad when I think of my former students subjected to such "traditional" system: they're sort of "orphans" in an overprotective system that's not encouraging them to look at themselves and get their own house in order, I mean: become self-aware, pro-active, constructive and (intellectually and emotionally) autonomous individuals. We need leaders, mature people, entrepreneurs, self-taught (autonomous) and emotionally intelligent individuals, yet this system puts and keeps them inside of a bubble that doesn't let them develop these important skills.
@@yurisucupira Most of the students at the school I taught at wouldn't even read on their own. The students would flunk out of college the first year on average 75% of the time. If you went to faculty meetings, that had all these great statistics, but that was one they never showed. The most important one. On district paper they are legite, on their own they are D.O.A. they have been running it like that for over 6 years at that school.
@@Polarcupcheck Yup, I had some that couldn't read, too. They dropped school before learning how to read and write properly. Most joined gangs and got involved with drug trafficking. Some were killed by enemy gangs. Sad! In my classes I managed to stop indisciplined behaviors but was unable to prevent this kind of dropout. The gangs are "too attractive" to these youngsters.
@@yurisucupira I had a student that did very little work and just acted like something you would see with mentally ill homeless. Even as a first year teacher, I knew something was terribly wrong. I saw him with his teacher he had after me the next year, and she had that holyshit look when talking with him. She was a veteran teacher, and I never saw her look that dumb founded. Like, is this kid with it. I asked her how he was doing, figuring, maybe she finally could motivate him in a way I couldn't. She said, "What? That kid is illiterate." Gets to the 11th grade and is basically illiterate. He had no learning disability or known medical conditions, either. Completely got by under the radar.
@@FightingForFacts7074 I had a friend who went to a boarding school in Ohio, and eventually switched to a Jesuit school called St.Edwards. This was the early 80's. Gym teacher asked him why he wasn't dressed for gym, he replied, left my sh*t at home. Gym teacher slapped him right across the face...lol That is an important lesson to be learned imo.
In the early 90s they fired all the older teachers for young ones who had "better" ideas. They figured all the kids needed was a best friend, someone younger with more energy, and someone to make the lessons "fun". Then the parents said "I need my kid to get a scholarship for college." And they gave them all A's and started having classes on how to beat the SATs. What they got was spoiled kids with parents who expected the schools to give out all good grades. Parents started doing their kids homework. They would call the teacher into the principal's office if the kid ever got in trouble or had bad grades. Then they got on the school board and wrecked all kinda hella there.
@@kevinerose we had to put up with bussing violent kids from inner city Schools to our school to help thier development. We ended up quiting, and going to other schools. What a waste of government money that was.
California schools are in chaos. Largely due to there being no discipline / accountability for student behavior. Governor Gavin Newsom banned suspensions for classroom defiance and disruptions. Teachers have to sit there and take this abuse every day. Teachers can't even take a recess from a kid. Teachers have no authority anymore. Teachers and the good kids pay the price. Hopefully he gets sued for causing this trauma to the teachers and the learning loss for the well-behaved kids.
Yes, I had a friend that was all crusading to help inner city kids and went into one of those schools. She lasted a year. You aren't prepared to literally be threatened by young kids on a daily basis. We, as a society, should not allow it to even happen. Teachers turn to the admins that are supposed to support them and get a "do the best you can" response. This is a canary in the coal mine. The future is in jeopardy.
Cost of living is higher than it has been in the past. The drive for competition is demanding more work hours while providing lesser pay for their employees. For families nowadays to keep a roof over their heads it's not uncommon for both Mom and Dad now to have to enter the work force to perform 9-5 jobs excluding the back and forth commute. Frankly, parents simply have no time or energy to raise their kids anymore.
@@madbuddha2077 No, you didn't turn out fantastic. A good parent can control their kids with words alone. Almost all prison convicts got beatings, and almost no collage graduates did.
@@madbuddha2077 Some people smoke for decades and don't get cancer, either. Doesn't mean you should blast through a pack a day. The logic here doesn't work. In fact, people who get beaten tend to be more violent and aggressive people.
In 2024 in NSW, Australia the state government has banned mobile phones in all state schools. Catholic schools and many private schools also follow this policy. The feedback from teachers has been very positive.
My son taught H.S. English for the last 12 years to a typical class of about 35 students, of which only about 4- 5 actually cared about the subject; the rest considered it a waste of time and an intrusion in their lives. He was threatened by a student who was expelled, then given a reprieve, and "mom" re- enrolled him in the same school, all without my son's knowledge, consent or participation in the process because the kid was "a juvenile" and such matters were- according to district policy- "confidential". My son now teaches English in a remote fishing village to school children in Japan. He has never been happier, is totally embraced by the residents who give him all their support, and he has the honorific of being considered "Sensei"- a person of great respect and learning. I believe he will never return to the land of his birth because when a teacher wears a power suit and begins and ends classes with a bow of mutual respect with uniformed students, great things are expected to happen, and usually they do.
Yes. In a class of 30, only 5 were real students who did the work, studied and earned good grades. What happens in grades 7 and 8 when the student fails both math and English? They get promoted to the next higher grade!
During my first 7 years of my life I lived as a monster. I threw terrible temper tantrums, ignored advice from adults, and lived as if I were invincible. Then I learned about the importance of love. I found that having someone care about me made all the difference in the world. I turned my life around. I tried to achieve high test scores and recognition for behavioral excellence. I tried to become any teacher's favorite student. I had already been subjected to way too many spankings to care anymore, but connecting with adults motivated me. Parents need to learn to LOVE spending time with their boys and girls and stop treating them in such a condescending or apathetic manner.
I taught fourteen years. The problem with education is that administration has no backbone and actually work against what is best for learning in the classroom. They fail to discipline and often reprimand a teacher who tries to discipline. It is getting where in some schools kids can about do anything and not be punished. In the last year of teaching, here are four incidents that received very little or no punishment. 1) Two boys before school in the gymnasium got into a fight. The students were punching each other in the head, and one student's glasses were broken in the fight. The students were sent to the office, but as far as I could tell, they received no punishment, as I saw them in the gym the following days and they were not on the In School Suspension roster. No discipline for a fist fight? 2) A female student threw a paper ball and hit me (a male teacher) in the back of the head. I had previously also sustained a head injury in a car accident. This presented major risks to my health. Despite assaulting me, this student received ONE day in In School Suspension, where with her school computer she was free to play on the Internet and play games. Some punishment, huh? 3) A female student clawed a male student's back from top to bottom and made claw marks all up and down his back with blood leaking out. I wrote the female student up on a discipline referral. She was NEVER called to the office, as far as I could tell. She was in my class the days following the incident. 4) My lunch class students decided to have a food fight during lunch. Kids were covered in milk and mashed potatoes. Did anything come of it? Of course not. No punishment.
@Death To Diaper Ghouls I have lived with people of color (half my family is poc) and went to schools with POC, so I think I know what I'm talking about. You've already proven you're blue-pilled unbased. Secondly I wasn't talking about your personal experience: I was talking about mine. And you're statement is very ironic.
Yes, teachers need more support, but there’s an adage that fits here: kids need to come to school to LEARN! The schools cannot fix broken homes, neglect, physical, mental, and emotional abuse, or lack of medical care. Such kids are a microcosm of everything wrong, and everything neglected in American society. Schools simply can’t fix all of the everything that’s wrong.... For shame America, you could be SO MUCH BETTER - if you only invested in yourself!
Teachers get great benefits - their unions should address this problem! Vote in a Conservative School Board and School Choice in your Local Government - this needs to stop now! Leftists think - mental illness, I think - lack of discipline and consequences for bad behavior!
I’m leaving my teaching at the end of this academic year. It’s a bit early but I can’t stand it. Students are good and they are fine. Tho I’m so sick of admin folks creating unnecessary tasks so that their job has reasons to stay, those tasks that they twist and knead their arguments and make it as if they have anything to do with teaching. What a shame the system is feeding unnecessarily admins and feeding off of students.
Do you have a teachers union? Does it work for you? This unnecessary work to validate a top heavy system happens all over government and teaching is no different This is the Swamp that needs to be Drained. Run for office on your local school board as a conservative and also support school choice - public education took a wrong turn decades ago!
Y K I’m leaving next year. The children are good at least in my class and they are learning but I feel like in 15 years I won’t have the patience to teach children. And I’m going into the Accounting profession
Parents don't teach their entitled kids to respect adults. Second; O'bama's school discipline policy contributed to this as well. Look it up if you don't know.
So if i understood correctly, if a white kid and a black kid did something wrong, they should not be punished equally? www.manhattan-institute.org/html/obama-school-discipline-danger
@@spacecy Yes. Obama had his "people" contact each state school board to "strongly encourage" schools to not punish black students because they had been getting such a bad rap. If a black student hurt a white kid in school-that's ok because the black student has the right to do that. Don't you just love Obama?!
@@rubystewart3814 wow, i didn't know obama was such a racist. i'm not american, i just observe what is happening. If black kids have been getting such a bad rap, i don't think its because they are getting punished more by 'racist teachers' or anything like that. its because they actually do things they shouldn't, and prevent the rest of kids from learning. 'Not punishing' them because it appears to be 'racist' is not a solution, actually it makes the problem worse because kids will know they will get away with it. I think this policy was made to divide american people and to cause MORE racism, not prevent it. Did Trump cancel this policy?
@@spacecy neither get the punishment they deserve - they get a free pass, over and over again. This is why so many school shootings could have been prevented. Thank you O'bama. Thanks for letting us "keep our insurance and Dr." too.
We don’t need more people or mental health “experts” in the classroom. We need parents to parent their own children and to stop throwing the parenting responsibilities to the government run day care known as the public school system.
Same story over and over, school after school, town after town. Pretending this is a school issue or a teacher issue or an administrative issue is idiotic. This is a societal issue that needs addressed starting in the home before the kid ever goes anywhere near a school.
Yes, thanks to utter lack of community participation in public schools the worst of the worst end up running things. I've had the sad misfortune of watching what were once great well respected high quality school turn to shit simply because a handful of idiot got on the school boards due to the public not caring and then proceed to destroy the place as fast as they could. When a school district of thousands has awful people get on it board because they literally so unchallenged it took less than 10 votes to get on, that tell's you what wrong. Then to make it worse, once in figure out that when challenged they have a blank check lawyer backing to keep them there due to they being able to just vote that the schools money pays for whatever they want to litigate to death just to make sure they get their way.
@@dragonsickness4561 I am a boomer. Had all vaccines. They were not as safe as today's. Yes, I have had all of the new ones as I am a nurse. 5 children in our family......vaccinated. We NEVER had a desire to hurt anyone. Why?? Our father would have gave us consequences!!! Also, we went had teachers who were professional. Not a curriculum that expected us to have a 3 year jump on college. We learned what our brains were capable of and allowed to be children!!
@@dragonsickness4561 , it's not vaccines. It's a lot of women putting off having kids until their 30's and 40's for their careers, not understanding or caring it exponentially puts them at higher risk past 32. Women should have kids in their 20's if you want to reduce autism, bipolar, Asperger's and downsyndrome. That's not sexism or patriarchy, that's millions of years of evolution that doesn't change overnight.
@@TheBashar327 Thats not true. If you take care of your body you can have healthy children until menopause. Generally, we dont take care of our bodies well enough to have optimal offspring after 36 ish. That is because we live in a toxic environment - not because we're designed that way.
When I was a kid and I stepped out of line you got your ass beat I never spoke back to my parents because I knew what the consequences were going to be
They've taken discipline out of the classroom. Admins look the other way and don't back up teachers efforts. Children have to know that there are consequences to their actions. Many times there are no consequences and enforcement. Yes, it's that bad. Disruptive classrooms are a source of high stress and generally unhealthy for teachers. It's true. (Source: personal experience) Also, parents now believe that it's the responsibility of the schools to raise their children. And all you admins out there, stop tip toeing around the issue. Do what is necessary.
From Leo, And where do most of the administrators come from? Most were from the ranks of public school teachers. You don't see the problems this bad in schools led by nuns.
Sounds like you had every last brain cell whipped out of you. That's unfortunate that you can't see what really changes and helps these students. In my school district in Minneapolis we have teachers and SEAs (Paras) with training to meet children where they are at and build the up by helping them find some sense of stability. We have 10 to 15 student class sizes so students can make a sense of community so they are actively engaged in there own learning. I think your school district completely failed you and that hurts my heart and I'm truly sorry for you. Any idea of violence only begets more violence and when we respond to children's actions with violence especially in schools and around their peers we create a climate were that student can't learn and won't grow, and they especially won't be ready to learn when they reach highschool and won't be ready to enter the work force after let alone manage their lives in a college setting.
You hit the nail right on the head. When the government took away our right to discipline our own children, that is when all this began and it has only gotten worse as more and more Liberalism is forced upon us and our schools.
@@basicallyalandershowitz Asians beat the hell out of their kids and I promise you they can out perform any of the kids in your school district by a mile! Its funny people like you are against parents whooping their kids out of love to keep them on the right path, but you will applaud a police officer beating the shit out of that same person when they are an adult! You are delusional!
This mess is happening because these students many times have mental health issues and or disabilities, that are not being addressed, and this stuff didn’t happen much back in the day because these people were put in special needs school, alternative schools, mental health centers and facilities! This is the end result of "full inclusion and mainstreaming " Far too many students per classroom You got unstable unhappy homes, abusive family, to non existent families. It’s complex, but the majority is some level of mental health
Expel them so the sane ones can learn. Make that disruptive brat there problem and parents will find some way to fix that kid, their school/daycare program just ended.
I fully agree with this statement!!!! As an elective high school teacher, the amount of students with behavioral, learning & mental health issues are insane. How is one person expected to teach a whole classroom of students without the proper training, tools, & support? It is just not possible!!!!
In 2009, I went back to school and completed my Master's in Elementary Education with honors and have over 15 years teaching experience. I am a single mother who was raising 2 children while finishing my Master's. In 2017, I was offered 38,000 dollars a year at Catholic elementary school in Jersey City. Along with my whole class teaching , I was also responsible for running the 2 biggest fund raisers for the school, the Scholastic Book Fairs for fall and spring, plus was responsible for the sacraments of penance and first communion( (which included weekend non-paid working). I easily worked over 60 hours every week, including most of every Sunday prepping for the new week with lesson plans, grading homework, etc. While teaching there, I developed high blood pressure and started having anxiety attacks. I lasted 2 years and had to leave from declining health due to stress. The principal was ruthless and critical on all my alternative teaching styles. I had children in my class that clearly needed pull out services, but didn't get them. Teachers are so underpaid and overworked. It is such a stressful job. I would never encourage any young person I know to go into teaching. It is a thankless profession and burnout is fast and furious.
I was a school bus driver and my first year of working, I've had behavior problems and often had to pull the bus over. I was called in to the supervisor's office and was told to take the kids to their destinations on time. I should've quit right then and there because as a safety sensitive job, the number one priority is safety and apparently the management and parents loss sight of that. I eventually quit anyway after two years off and on. Things were a lot different from when I was a kid when bus drivers, teachers and principals would get away with corporal punishment. Nowadays you can't really do much to those kids without getting yourself in trouble and the way things are now I will never want to work at another school district again.
If that were true then why are schools in republican cities from republican states facing these same issues? There are tons of factors and boiling it all down to that is ludicrous.
@@playdoh2143 - Actually you're being ludicrous because everyone know the public schools are predominately liberal. The private and charter schools which follow "conservative" values dont have these behavior issues. And people know it too...which is why many liberal states are desperately trying to shut down charter and private schools and wont allow a voucher system.
Haven't you heard democrats make that illigal? discipline is abuse, the state ought to take the kids a way from the abusive parents, so the state can get a nice big pay check to fix a problem they created. All at tax payers expense of course.
PearlPerlita Venegas If your a single mother and choose to remain single instead of finding a new mate and getting married like everyone else then your part of the problem don’t act like the victim when u refuse to get remarried and put stress in your children which gets released as violent outbursts towards teachers.
@JC הֵילֵל Your comments have to be the dumbest I have run across in a long time. Smh. And to think this country is full of idiots like you and yall wonder why the ship is sinking fast!
A girl at my high school got suspended for fighting and her mom/dad treated it like a vacation and let her get her nails done and went to work like nothing happened instead of correcting the behavior. Parents have become lazy and take no accountability for their child and thats why teachers can't teach kids with no manners its impossible.
Expulsion, yes exactly. Hey crappy parent your daycare just kicked your idiot out of school what cha gonna do now. Maybe try and parent them so the next schools doesn’t throw them out.
I grew up without a father, I respected my mom because she would whip you with a belt if you misbehaved, it's the liberal society that has changed, no consequences for the kids today, participation trophys, cuddling them, some parents are to blame but society has taken a turn for the worse, in the 70's teachers would spank students and you did not tell your mom about it because you get it again at home.
@@redsammy7789 Let me simplify it for you. A general truth isn't disproven by pointing to a few exceptions. Of course some people grow up without fathers and do well. The overwhelming majority don't. Get it now?

@@78musiksphere that's not true at all. Women will have children to get child support and increased welfare from the state.

The bible does not prevent bad behavior. In fact, it often encourages it. Flags are also not out of schools. Catholic schools are some of the worst fucking places too. Kids are just as rotten.
@@psilvakimo No, I just speak the harsh truth. Religion doesn't make people better. If anything, it may make them worse. Areas with the highest teen pregnancy, STD rates, and violence tend to be the most religious. Some of the worst areas have the highest religiosity and religion correlates strongly with poor societal outcomes. If you think religion makes people better, let me introduce you to Hamas, ISIS, and Hezbolah.
I am frustrated in my job for the same reasons, which come back primarily to parents not being responsible for their student's behavior, and a lack of disciplinary measures taken by the school. I don't like taking a punitive approach, but sometimes it is necessary. Also, I have a developmentally disabled student who also has serious behavioral problems. The two may or may not be connected, but certainly make for disastrous situations in the classroom. Multiple times per day, student learning is interrupted by this student having emotional outbursts - screaming, throwing chairs, etc. How can anyone learn in that environment? That student is only 1 of 5 in my class who have behavioral issues, which interrupt student learning. "Inclusion" policies can look great on paper, but can be disastrous in practice.
@@LuckyMe24-7 mr_seth comment mentioned a "lack of disciplinary measures taken by the school." This is the "elephant in the living room" that you choose to ignore. City schools are not enforcing any discipline or control, allowing chaos to rule the classroom and entire school property and the nearby neighborhood. Try living next door to a city school, and then get back to me on how well you are making out as an adult.

Mandatory attendance in education is so the police departments will not have to deal with the policing of incorrigible students. The juvenile courts and community schools in California are overburdened and not funded to provide correctional programs.
Here is an answer: actually enforce real homework, tests, and performance-based grades, and kids who do not pass get kicked out of the public school system while those parents lose welfare eligibility. Watch how fast suddenly kids learn to work, things will actually get better in a generation. Starvation is the universal motivator, and we can only diminish starvation with both the carrot AND the stick: opportunity and no handouts.
Sad thing is you cant blame it on poverty. I have family in a very poor 3rd world country that are very poor and visted there schools kids are well behaved respectful.
hayley s thank you for your sanctimonious yet utterly pointless comment. If you would enlighten me then maybe I could depart from my enormous ignorance.
Y'all are Weak Minded. In my school they were Not Kidding. The school was set up in a way the teachers were within earshot of each other. The students could be quickly ushered straight to the principal's office by awaiting guards. The Entire adult staff came out to watch and stand ready for All breaks between, before, or after classes. Before a kid got two minutes into a tirade we had a retired army sergeant who had you by the shoulder and you were going That way like it or not. Suspension was in-school and guarded by two teachers and stopped in by staff. The principal and vice principal roamed the halls along with seargants and custodians ready to stop anything that started. Even the secretaries and nurse were nobody to mess with. We had high grade standards and almost nobody flunked or got pregnant. These people were tough but they Cared. Grow some damned backbone. These are our Kids.
Just the fact that you just described a prison guard situation and violent inmates says it all. The fact that you NEED that kind of policing says it all.
Part of the problem is the sue-happy lawyers just like when law enforcement kills a bad guy and are sued because the ghetto family wants a payday. If you shot at the cops and get killed, why does your family get a payday? The teachers who defend themselves against violence from students are FIRED for protecting themselves. My solution is install video cameras in the classrooms and hold troublemakers, who ever they are accountable. Fines, incarceration, what ever it takes. We live with it now, right? And if crimes are committed , the case goes to court as well. We need strong judges and parents to deal with these issues, not our instructor's problems, they are there to teach.
Joseph Rivera please please tell the people in TX where a black cop was shooting at a bad guy that was driving off in his car refusing to stop and he mistakenly kill the white kid in the back seat and he got 25 years in jail. Make it worse something happen bit color switch a mother cover her 16 month baby as cops shot in her car she die, cop did not go to jail. Cop have been killing both black and white people a lot lately it just that for some reason with white people get kill by the cops it do not make main stream news. Look up Bill Copper he was murder by our government his family got a check but i think they would like to have him here but the government wanted to silence him and they did.
@@Pulapaws I am talking about what is happening at our schools. Teachers being assaulted, classes disrupted. Case here in our area where the school had to put a girl in a padded room because she went off. A public school. I feel for all involved. What was the school to do? Let faculty and students get injured because of this student? Who cannot control herself? Nobody wins. Kids who disrupt classes. Kids causing chaos, and when teachers defend themselves, they are fired and or sued. About law enforcement; do ride-along(s), go through the citizens academy which usually gives you the experience in scenarios with shoot/don't shot time. Can't speak about your comment because neither of us were there. Someone committing a crime can cause innocents to die. Sad, but true. Look overseas where innocents are used as human shields, etc. War is evil, everyone pays. Be a teacher, cop, or deal with kids who are unruly. Where do we draw the lines in schools/ colleges with bad behavior? When is it enough? What if in your example if the person stealing the car gets in an accident killing innocents while committing a crime? Remember that the sword of justice is sharpened on both sides. Thanks for your comments. I hope we can have coffee together and have more discussions and come up with a remedy. Happy Holidays to you and yours...
It starts at Home 🏡 People !!!! It’s not the teachers 👩🏫 👨🏫 problem ⚠️ when you know you have a troubled kid ITS YOUR’S. Their job is to teach not be parent. Have respect for our educators and get involved with your children. And if you can't do that then DON'T HAVE children
Don't be sad. Save yourself teachers! You can't teach kids if you are unhealthy and unhappy. And the administration are paper pushers...screw them. RUN!!!
Oh, and by the way, you can't discipline kids with FAS. The part of their brains that respond to discipline and to memory are Swiss cheese. Read up on the science, if it's not too difficult for you to follow.
That's what the neighbors and uncles used to say back in the day, "I'll beat your @$$ if your daddy won't!" They did it too and we turned out much better than this generation now.
2 places to look into are: parents as a choice and expansion of human rights law . The volume of divorced parents of children below 18 is skyrocketing and we have a trend of those who preferred to be single parents. The psychological effect on children raised in this environment is highly negative. And then we have the law that limits the ability for parents to discipline their children. "He that spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him" Prov 23:24 is still the best way to raise children. Unfortunately our policy makers think differently.
For this lady to say we need "more mental health workers", is like saying we need more heroin for the "opiate crisis".... How many "problem kids" are on psych drugs? *MOST*.... The psych drugs do more harm than good....
I do custodial work in the school district where i live. When i worked at the high school during the last school year there was a group of 4 to 5 kids that would loiter in the school after the final bell rang for the day. They would lock each other out of the front entrance doors, run around the hallways, play tag, ride those Razor scooters in the hallways etc. Even though its really not my job to discipline those acts were hard to ignore, and the presence of those kids stressed me out. Since i know some kids after school were part of the stage crew i asked them if they were in which they said yes when in reality they lied saying they were just so they could stay in the building to fool around. I emailed the principal about the problem, and he replied that he would take care of it. A couple of days later after he exited the office to head home for the day he just walked past that group of kids like he could care less. Working there ive learned that the reason why kids may not wanna leave the school buildings is because their home lives are so shitty, but you cannot tell me that all those kids home lives are shitty. I aint buying it.
We certainly are. I left at the end of last year as a supply teacher. Would rather be poor. I ended full time teaching in 2012. I saw the writing on the wall then after 8 years in a cesspool called Clacton-on-Sea.
You’re Right! Leaving my job too. Such a shame, we work so hard and get paid barely a penny. That’s not what we deserve at all. As a 5th grade science/math teacher, I can relate to all this BS! WE DESERVE MORE, WE WORK HARD. All this coronavirus crap has ruined my career! I’m having to look at virtual (online) and in-person kids at the same time! I’m tired of it! They never turn their cameras on and cheat on their tests. We need better pay.
People predicted this when parents and teachers started getting in trouble for punishing the students who do wrong and the people who make these decisions generally do not have kids and don't have to deal with them on a 1 on 1 basis. These kids are our future economy, when you get old can you depend on them or is it going to fall apart like the classrooms of today.
I am a school bus driver in Illinois and taking high school students to school is like a dream in comparison to what this article portrays. They board the buses in an orderly manner. They do not curse at the driver nor the teachers at all. They sit quietly and, upon leaving the bus, over 90% of the students will thank the bus driver, be it arriving at school or upon arriving at home. Young teachers are claiming that the biggest surprise upon entering the profession is how much respect their students all show in the classroom. They are very well organized and behave more like adults than any of the past generations, including those of the 50s or even the 40s. Now, they are imperfect adults, but so are the rest of us. I am 70 and I never sat on a military bus as orderly as the one I drive right now. When people are treated like adults, they behave like adults. I do not call my students "kids" at all. It wasn't that way years ago but the turning point started to come around 2012. However,I do admit that middle school will always be a problem. That age group is either too old or too young to do anything so they act out the most. When students in the past did stand up and get out of hand and curse, I would remind them that they are anything but a rebel, living at home with mama and riding a yellow bus to school. When gangs would threaten me, I would remind them that the brain cells necessary to practice self-control are the same ones they use to zip up their pants and tuck the short thing back inside their pants whenever mother knocks on the bedroom door at night. Every male on the planet knows where they are. They sit right down and shut up. What has changed dealing with young people the most is autism - by far.
This isn't a lack of resources. It is a total breakdown of society.

I finished school in 1970
School wasnt always fair, he teachers could be horrible at times I admit.
Now we live in an age where some parents dont care, some lack morals once taught at home and also spiritual values now all laughed at by smart arse so called progressive liberals.
On top of that kids now have rights so they mouth off thinking they are untouchable
Sadly that is shortsighted as they will reach 18 to find they cant touch smart arse kids too.
Further more some of thse kids think they are beyond the law, well that is until they think they can smuggle drufs in Simgapore and Indonesia and wind up on death row or life in a rat infested Asian prison
9 Austalians thought they were untouchable
7 are either doing life or 20 years, the other came back to Australia in coffins after going before a firing squad.

When I was a kid in the 70's if I got in trouble in school. My parents stood up for the teacher not me and that was all the parents were.
As a former middle school science teacher in Colorado, I was punished for disciplining students or sending them to the office.
That right there is probably the biggest problem in today's schools, lack of support from above.
I had a teacher in high school is pretty cool, he got in trouble because he failed some dumb ass student.
Ironically, the class was creative writing
Edit: my bad, it was short story literature
I was fired for stimulating my students to analyze their own emotional motivations (feelings) for their bad behaviors, even though my strategy was working beautifully: I was having much less indisciplined students, they seemed happier, they were more collaborative, more friendly with each other, their grades improved et cetera.
I abandoned my career as a math teacher in 2010 and got a job in a completely different area (aeronautics).
Parents and schools are doing a disservice to students and teachers. The bill will come to us all as a society in a not-so-distant future.
Very sad, sorry to hear this!
As a former student in Colorado, when I acted up in class, I got sent to the principal, who on occasion as an elementary student spanked me, and into high school if I was too bad I’d get in-school detention where I’d spend the day in a small room with nothing but a desk and my work. I hated many of my teachers, and that’s the way it should be because I learned about behaving in society and working hard when you’re supposed to. My teachers weren’t “cool friends”, they were jerks to me, because I was a jerk. My wife now is an elementary counselor and the kids are absolutely in control of that school, being violent and disrespectful and no one can discipline them and parents don’t do anything. The teachers and principal get emotionally attached to too many individual kids and have that Florence Nightingale effect where they think they can help these kids, but the kids manipulate them, and the needs of the GOOD students are sacrificed because there’s a “code green” and every teacher has to run out of their classes and chase little armando who’s throwing staplers around the room. And they just get all the other kids out of the classroom and try to talk sweetly to Armando and calm him down. And they spend hours like that. Society is doomed.
No you don’t need more teachers, you need parents to parent....!!! It starts at home!!!!
Minnie Me people don’t understand this. But you are exactly right. Throw as much money at education as you want, but unless there’s accountability for parents for their child’s behavior, nothing will truly change
I agree but that is a much larger issue that most likely won’t be solved during our lifetime.
Amen to that!
Tea 4 2 it could be improved by making parents legally culpable until the child is 18; returning corporal punishment to the teachers; and instilling discipline in children. I’m not talking about a militaristic regimen, just take it back 60 years, to a minimum of dress requirements , sitting quietly, daily fitness, etc

vaccines cause behavioral problems. simple problem nobody wants to admit or believe.
As a fellow teacher, I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
This seems to the root of the problem. Kids act up and the school attempts to stop it and the parents come in and complain and then the principal gives in because they feel unsupported by their superiors. In the end bad behaviour is reinforced and encouraged.
Have you left teaching now?

I’m a hairdresser of 48 years and I can say the conversations with educators are all the same. Horrifying. What will our country become in 15 -20yrs. I see it as the breakdown of the family and parents not responsible. Too many babies born to irresponsible people. Teachers are there to educate not raise the children
helene mc govern I was just about to say the same thing. I feel terrible for the teachers and listening to my clients has actually confirmed that I made the correct choice with homeschooling my own child.

But if they dont raised there kids then they will be label or accused

What was SAID and the school and principal will stand against that teacher
I taught for decades. I left before I really wanted to because I just couldn't take it anymore. The system is broken. Teachers get very little support. Behavior is out of control. Administrators micromanage to the point of harassment. My job became unbearable. Ironically I miss teaching, but I need to take care of myself more.
I watched teachers who were seeing psychiatrists and taking potent psychotropic drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, etc. because they were having emotional breakdowns. I was on the verge of becoming the same way. When I quit, I never looked back and I will not apologize for it.

And you find yourself teaching children that want to learn. 🙏☮️
Many children don't want to go to school, and I don't blame them. They will act out that way because they don't want to stay in school learning what they don't care about. Have you guys thought of that? I didn't care for school, I was not a good student I was forced to be there and I felt I was waisting my time, this had nothing to do with my parents, my parents wanted me at school because they thought it was the best for me, and they were wrong, I dropped out and now I am an entrepreneur and I manage my own business, that's all I wanted to do ever since I was little. You force the children to go to school, this is what you will get. The school system is outdated. Love and light to you all.
@Mario Mendoza Smart and civilized enough to be in a classroom. That's rich. I would pay to NOT have my children be around a bunch violent, drugged-up freaks you find in the average public school classroom, to say nothing of the perverted liberal losers running them.

My husband left his teaching job because of the lack of parental support. Plain and simple.

Tragic and outrageous.
Parents don't have the time because they are working themselves to an early grave. Nice that teachers have a union but no one else in this country are aloud to have one.
Andrew Russell wht violence was witnessed ? I think you’re lying
KELLI2L2 man you’re no very bright
As a therapist, I have teachers as clients that are complaining of the same thing. The kids are more violent and the teachers are less supported. It's so sad.
It got worse after restorative justice was implemented under the guise of preventing the school to prison pipeline, under the guise that black students were being reported more for violence and disruptive behaviors simply due to racism not because they are actually acting out. Teacher's hands were tied by it. The violence escalated. Those black children were sacrificed on behalf of a false narrative. The problem isn't racism. It is far more complex. Parents should consider not teaching the children that the world is against them, and be parents instead of blaming society for their failures. I want to see them succeed. As it stands they are set up to fail.
Eyes open wide Their attitudes are so horrible it’s hard to care. Their loss tbh.
it was getting pretty bad when i was in middle school. highschool wasnt too bad because the people causing trouble skipped it and dropped out. but my class was like one of the smallest graduating classes the school had. i assume its worse now. especially from what my sister has said happens in the schools. she used to be a teacher and now volunteers and theres been a few times she's pulled her kids out of the classroom because of other kids
I've seen teachers get physically assualted and hospitalized and the school blames the teacher's "ineffective strategies"
I thought this was just movie stuff. Is there any accurate depiction of high school today
This was my last year teaching. I taught for years and loved it. But..... there’s only so much that can be done in the classroom. There’s talk of a school to prison pipeline, but that pipeline starts at home.
If you think a classroom is bad, try driving a school bus; 60-70 kid's. NO HELP! Driving the bus AND getting the kid's to behave... Just KEEPING THEM SEATED is a full time job! Corporal Punishment NEEDS to be reinstated! Kid's have NO REASON to behave because there is NO CONSEQUENCES to their action's.

Homes are falling apart. As a teacher I can say that’s the biggest threat to our nation
it's all planned. all part of their 9/11 plan
The replies to this post seem to be the only intelligent ones. The economic shift has both parents working full time leaving the actual raising of their children to a 3rd party. Most parents, even though both are working non stop, can't even afford to pay their bills much less provide everything their children need. This stress trickles down hill: Mom and Dad work 50+ hours in a factory, can't pay bills, daycare is killing them, have very little time to spend with children, the time they do have to spend is stunted by financial disparity. Children sense the stress levels of the family, they start to realize what the real world is like by seeing their parent's struggles. Doesn't give the youth much hope does it? I went through this. I believe I raised my kids well, they are in high school and virtually no problems. But there were many years where I didn't see my children and we as a family lived off WIC food. My kids were raised mostly in daycare.

Thanks for reporting. I now understand why school's are hiring cheap teachers from other countries like the Philippines, India.

@Micdhael Masink - I have seen teachers hired from the Philippines in Palau and the Common Wealth of the Northern Mariana's Island (Saipan). First, I thought of their well educated reason we're hired. But, when I worked with several of them, they were under paid, due to their currency. I was troubled to understand it, because they were working as supervisor and Assistant managers, but getting lesser pay than all local hires. To me it's unfair!

Schools don't teach are children how to get a job after completing the courses, schools need to teach children about money and job training not just be daycare providers. Americans are dumb because we don't teach are children how to be competitive workers and about money and financial information.
Take this kid out of school and tell the parents that they aren't allowed back until they can behave properly
Don’t ignore the corrupted laws that would penalise the schooling they are caught doing that.
That might work because the parents will lose their eight hour free babysitters. At the other end, the child will grow up with a bigger chip on their shoulder blaming the school system for failing them. Then they will feel even more entitled to act out. It's a really sad situation
The school district will not allow that to happen. They need all the students present on campus in order to get their money. Why do you think they allow these kids to do what they do? This is nation wide.
@@frankdunn1813 If I were the teacher I would just inconvenience them in the most petty ways possible if they did that. Such as moving their desk or school supplies, assigning extra homework and pop quizzes to misbehaving students.
@@funnyblog100 are you being serious or are you just trolling?
My daughter accepted a teaching position to a school where “diversity is our strength” was the motto. Soon in she was exhausted. Kids had absolutely no respect for educators or being educated. They hire more translators to interpret from English to Spanish that my daughter can’t even teach. She is so passionate about teaching but is burnt out after only 2 years and is ready to move on. The administration does not care whatsoever. It’s truly sad.
Sounds like she was unrelateable to the children. As a teacher of many years I often see white women from middle and upper class backgrounds with many unchecked biases that join the education field to make a difference. However, they are blissfully unaware and insensitive to the needs of students from different backgrounds. Instead of learning how to tackle their own biases, they often just blame the kids without looking at their own behaviors. I have seen many of these teachers exhibit cold, harsh and aggressive behavior -often unknowingly- to nonwhite students. It’s easy to simply blame it on “diversity” when really, they were not a good fit due to their lack of experience with diversity in their own lives. Ultimately many leave because they simply aren’t a good fit. In my opinion, this is a better outcome, children deserve teachers they can connect to and also can cultivate and appreciate the differences within the community.
C W well I hope you get those TEACHERS MORE SUITABLE!
Wow, that would be a great study actually.
C W There is no need to make *EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES.* If students can't treat white teachers with any modicum respect, then how do you expect them to behave towards their white employers? Remember, majority of white employers always pay *BETTER WAGES* and give *FAIRER TREATMENTS* than nonwhite employers who treat all workers like turds. In reality, *NO* non-whites like to work for non-white employers who *EXPLOIT* and *PAY* peanut money. Majority of whites always pay quickly and pay fair.
@@pinklady7184 I challenge you to reread your statement and really evaluate if you have any biases coming through, which proves what I was trying to illustrate.
Also, I agree that all teachers should be respected. I am NOT saying that there are not students with serious behavior issues. However, what I am saying is that often unconscious bias fuels many of these problems that can easily be solved with things such as effective classroom management strategies, teacher trainings, teacher diversity etc.
You should be aware that many white students act out and have just as many behavior issues. I have seen this with my own eyes. The difference is they have more of a support system within the school and community. For example, my first year teaching 2nd grade, there were two rambunctious boys, one white and one Latino. They both would get into trouble constantly. The school ultimately expelled the Latino boy while the white student stayed and was given chance after chance, even after putting other children in headlocks, fighting etc. I was told "boys will be boys" and yet this same courtesy is not extended to all students. Over the years ive literally heard racial jokes and remarks come from the lips of teachers - the very same people that interact with the kids on a daily basis. Of course these mentalities affect their interactions with the kids in the classroom.
I could give many more examples, and believe me I have had many 7:30 am meetings, afterschool meetings, Saturday trainings, college courses and almost a decade of teaching in the classroom, working with teachers, parents and children of all ages. It is easy to just say "Excuses Excuses" and be cold and not show empathy, especially to students of color. It is easy to do so than to figure out how you can be better for the children.
@@pinklady7184 when I was working as a waitress while in school, I remember no one at the restaurant wanted to take "diversity" clients because they never tip. Only "white" did.
Ridiculous how parents don't care enough to get their kids help.
The best thing is to beat them until they can't walk every time they act up until they learn to behave.
Neighbourhoods are falling apart due to the increasing income inequality leading to families falling apart. Finance is the leading reason people get divorced or break up.

Not true, most teachers go into it because they really want to teach.

estote -- I say good riddance,
Most teacher are closed minded
Liberals.
They need to-be taught how to let students decide , and teach fairness and honesty, very few of those left and that’s sad .
So parents now need to be parents .
or worse than violence, racist.
Also parents being overly tolerant with their kids shitty behavior. Doing nothing about shit is also why kids think their behavior is acceptable which in turn you now have an individual you indirectly taught to take advantage of you and doesn't give a fuck about anything because they know you are a weak parent and would stand by thier side no matter what wrong they did.
I was fired and gave up being a teacher because of this rigged system.
I used to be a math teacher for undergraduate students (kids and teenagers) and figured out a way to influence them to stop arguing, fighting et cetera by promoting in-class open debates about those specific students that were being indisciplined.
E.g. if student A yelled in the classroom and kept interrupting my class, I'd stop my math teaching and then would say something like "Ok, class, today we're gonna discuss student A and the possible reason or reasons why he/she enjoys yelling during our math classes. Anyone would like to start?" If no one started, I'd ask them something like "Do you think student A feels like he/she needs people's attention at school because he/she is not having enough love at home?". At this point students usually replied with "yes" and others with laughs (teenagers also reacted with "damn!" and similar things), but after this I'd say "What about if we all give student A a big hug?", then the students stood up, walked towards student A and gave him/her a hug.
As a general rule, most of the times these indisciplined students reacted with embarrassed smiles that would later change into a smile of happiness. I noticed that this also reinforced friendship among students and therefore there were much less fights.
Some students cried at such circumstances but then I talked to them after the class. These occasions also stimulated the development of the other students' empathy and inter-personal emotional intelligence.
In general, it was clear to me that by exposing the root (psychological and emotional) cause of such students' bad behavior with the help of the other students I managed to emotionally "overpower" indisciplined students and then (later on) help them realize that by exposing and acknowledging their weaknesses they were actually "humanized" and accepted by their peers, which stimulated stronger emotional bonds among these students whilst they came to see me as someone who understood them on an emotional level and was there to encourage them to be better persons.
I also had everyone's birthday in my calendar and everyday I'd tell if it's someone's birthday and ask the class to congratulate such student.
About 1 year doing these things I had not a single problem with students (even though 2 of them were still trying to sell drugs to kids, in the public school where I was teaching). My success rate was around 95%, I'd say.
This all happened between 2004 and 2010. I mean, I'm not a teacher anymore: because of my "controversial" method, eventually some parents complained to the school board that I was exposing their children to vexatious and embarrassing situations, and because I did not stop doing what I was doing (because it was clearly working) the school eventually fired me.
I'm graduated not only in Math but also in Aeronautical Information Services, thus, after being fired I managed to get a job in aeronautics. Since then (2010-today), I've been working in the field of aeronautics and don't intend to leave it nor teach again.
I agree with the argument that these students lack parenting, or, in a nutshell: *ethics, discipline and love.* You touch one's heart and you'll open the door to reach the other 2 (ethics and discipline).
My classroom felt like a family or a brotherhood that "replaced" the lack of at-home parenting. This is what these terrible parents and school boards don't seem to understand.
Sound interesting. The problem with the school system is they keep their rules vague so they can always say you violated something when they get scared of lawsuits. Even in my state, there are clear rules against anything that may subject a student to humiliation. However, what humiliates someone is up for interpretation. Rather than outline guidelines for what can be considered humiliation, they leave it vague so they can use their discretion against you.
@@Polarcupcheck I agree. Either the rules are vague, or they're clear (e.g. "don't humiliate students no matter what. There's no justification to such behavior") but lack definitions (e.g. if different people react differently to the same stimulus, behavior, circumstance, what's an "humiliating" stimulus, behavior, circumstance? Context is important, even though it's ignored most of the times) and ignore pedagogical results (as the ones that I was achieving). It's very disappointing.
I feel sad when I think of my former students subjected to such "traditional" system: they're sort of "orphans" in an overprotective system that's not encouraging them to look at themselves and get their own house in order, I mean: become self-aware, pro-active, constructive and (intellectually and emotionally) autonomous individuals. We need leaders, mature people, entrepreneurs, self-taught (autonomous) and emotionally intelligent individuals, yet this system puts and keeps them inside of a bubble that doesn't let them develop these important skills.
@@yurisucupira Most of the students at the school I taught at wouldn't even read on their own. The students would flunk out of college the first year on average 75% of the time. If you went to faculty meetings, that had all these great statistics, but that was one they never showed. The most important one. On district paper they are legite, on their own they are D.O.A. they have been running it like that for over 6 years at that school.
@@Polarcupcheck Yup, I had some that couldn't read, too. They dropped school before learning how to read and write properly. Most joined gangs and got involved with drug trafficking. Some were killed by enemy gangs. Sad!
In my classes I managed to stop indisciplined behaviors but was unable to prevent this kind of dropout. The gangs are "too attractive" to these youngsters.
@@yurisucupira I had a student that did very little work and just acted like something you would see with mentally ill homeless. Even as a first year teacher, I knew something was terribly wrong. I saw him with his teacher he had after me the next year, and she had that holyshit look when talking with him. She was a veteran teacher, and I never saw her look that dumb founded. Like, is this kid with it. I asked her how he was doing, figuring, maybe she finally could motivate him in a way I couldn't. She said, "What? That kid is illiterate." Gets to the 11th grade and is basically illiterate. He had no learning disability or known medical conditions, either. Completely got by under the radar.

When I was a kid, there wasn’t a need for mental health specialists to address our needs. We just went to class and followed instructions.
Same here, because if I didn't I'd get my butt whipped at home! That was the deterrent for me.
I feared my teachers in the 70's, they did not take our crap.
@@FightingForFacts7074 I had a friend who went to a boarding school in Ohio, and eventually switched to a Jesuit school called St.Edwards. This was the early 80's. Gym teacher asked him why he wasn't dressed for gym, he replied, left my sh*t at home. Gym teacher slapped him right across the face...lol That is an important lesson to be learned imo.
In the early 90s they fired all the older teachers for young ones who had "better" ideas. They figured all the kids needed was a best friend, someone younger with more energy, and someone to make the lessons "fun". Then the parents said "I need my kid to get a scholarship for college." And they gave them all A's and started having classes on how to beat the SATs. What they got was spoiled kids with parents who expected the schools to give out all good grades. Parents started doing their kids homework. They would call the teacher into the principal's office if the kid ever got in trouble or had bad grades. Then they got on the school board and wrecked all kinda hella there.
@@kevinerose we had to put up with bussing violent kids from inner city Schools to our school to help thier development. We ended up quiting, and going to other schools. What a waste of government money that was.
@el Pepe etesech We needed it. Sometimes a little discipline when your young goes along way. Teaches you that your actions have consequences.
California schools are in chaos. Largely due to there being no discipline / accountability for student behavior. Governor Gavin Newsom banned suspensions for classroom defiance and disruptions. Teachers have to sit there and take this abuse every day. Teachers can't even take a recess from a kid. Teachers have no authority anymore. Teachers and the good kids pay the price. Hopefully he gets sued for causing this trauma to the teachers and the learning loss for the well-behaved kids.
And give parents and teachers back some of the authority they had when I was a kid.
Omg, this was my life for the last nine years! Resigning today! Going back to Catholic school. Sadly, for much lower pay.
I feel ya.
You can't put a price on your sanity 👍🏼
Yes, I had a friend that was all crusading to help inner city kids and went into one of those schools. She lasted a year. You aren't prepared to literally be threatened by young kids on a daily basis. We, as a society, should not allow it to even happen. Teachers turn to the admins that are supposed to support them and get a "do the best you can" response. This is a canary in the coal mine. The future is in jeopardy.
LaVonda Saunders mental health is worth far more than any dollar amount
What's your story or what did you see / experience?
The problem is most money a school gets goes to administrators
Especually in colleges
In charter schools.
Make the parents pay for the clean up and any damages. It's their fault.
Cost of living is higher than it has been in the past. The drive for competition is demanding more work hours while providing lesser pay for their employees. For families nowadays to keep a roof over their heads it's not uncommon for both Mom and Dad now to have to enter the work force to perform 9-5 jobs excluding the back and forth commute. Frankly, parents simply have no time or energy to raise their kids anymore.

then the ones that want an education, can get it.
Then they wouldn’t have a reason to record each other fighting for clout
They allow phones in classrooms here where i live in canada school have never allowed phones in classrooms
In 2024 in NSW, Australia the state government has banned mobile phones in all state schools. Catholic schools and many private schools also follow this policy. The feedback from teachers has been very positive.
My son taught H.S. English for the last 12 years to a typical class of about 35 students, of which only about 4- 5 actually cared about the subject; the rest considered it a waste of time and an intrusion in their lives. He was threatened by a student who was expelled, then given a reprieve, and "mom" re- enrolled him in the same school, all without my son's knowledge, consent or participation in the process because the kid was "a juvenile" and such matters were- according to district policy- "confidential".
My son now teaches English in a remote fishing village to school children in Japan. He has never been happier, is totally embraced by the residents who give him all their support, and he has the honorific of being considered "Sensei"- a person of great respect and learning. I believe he will never return to the land of his birth because when a teacher wears a power suit and begins and ends classes with a bow of mutual respect with uniformed students, great things are expected to happen, and usually they do.
Yes. In a class of 30, only 5 were real students who did the work, studied and earned good grades.
What happens in grades 7 and 8 when the student fails both math and English? They get promoted to the next higher grade!
These kind of things don't happen in China. Over there, if you are a student and you dare misbehave, you'll be forced to donate an organ!
Kevin Huang I agree, but I wouldn't want to live in China.
During my first 7 years of my life I lived as a monster. I threw terrible temper tantrums, ignored advice from adults, and lived as if I were invincible. Then I learned about the importance of love. I found that having someone care about me made all the difference in the world. I turned my life around. I tried to achieve high test scores and recognition for behavioral excellence. I tried to become any teacher's favorite student. I had already been subjected to way too many spankings to care anymore, but connecting with adults motivated me. Parents need to learn to LOVE spending time with their boys and girls and stop treating them in such a condescending or apathetic manner.
I taught fourteen years. The problem with education is that administration has no backbone and actually work against what is best for learning in the classroom. They fail to discipline and often reprimand a teacher who tries to discipline. It is getting where in some schools kids can about do anything and not be punished.
In the last year of teaching, here are four incidents that received very little or no punishment.
1) Two boys before school in the gymnasium got into a fight. The students were punching each other in the head, and one student's glasses were broken in the fight. The students were sent to the office, but as far as I could tell, they received no punishment, as I saw them in the gym the following days and they were not on the In School Suspension roster. No discipline for a fist fight?
2) A female student threw a paper ball and hit me (a male teacher) in the back of the head. I had previously also sustained a head injury in a car accident. This presented major risks to my health. Despite assaulting me, this student received ONE day in In School Suspension, where with her school computer she was free to play on the Internet and play games. Some punishment, huh?
3) A female student clawed a male student's back from top to bottom and made claw marks all up and down his back with blood leaking out. I wrote the female student up on a discipline referral. She was NEVER called to the office, as far as I could tell. She was in my class the days following the incident.
4) My lunch class students decided to have a food fight during lunch. Kids were covered in milk and mashed potatoes. Did anything come of it? Of course not. No punishment.
My sister was attacked by her student and suffered brain damage.
What happened to the student?

Kathy Longino I’m so so sorry for her. Unacceptable.
Yes, teachers need more support, but there’s an adage that fits here: kids need to come to school to LEARN!
The schools cannot fix broken homes, neglect, physical, mental, and emotional abuse, or lack of medical care. Such kids are a microcosm of everything wrong, and everything neglected in American society. Schools simply can’t fix all of the everything that’s wrong....
For shame America, you could be SO MUCH BETTER - if you only invested in yourself!
tm502010 I agree.
And your country's perfect?
Teachers get great benefits - their unions should address this problem!
Vote in a Conservative School Board and School Choice in your Local Government - this needs to stop now!
Leftists think - mental illness, I think - lack of discipline and consequences for bad behavior!
I have two friends who are retiring at the end of this year and just pray they can get through it.
I’m leaving my teaching at the end of this academic year. It’s a bit early but I can’t stand it. Students are good and they are fine. Tho I’m so sick of admin folks creating unnecessary tasks so that their job has reasons to stay, those tasks that they twist and knead their arguments and make it as if they have anything to do with teaching. What a shame the system is feeding unnecessarily admins and feeding off of students.
So true.
Do you have a teachers union? Does it work for you? This unnecessary work to validate a top heavy system happens all over government and teaching is no different This is the Swamp that needs to be Drained. Run for office on your local school board as a conservative and also support school choice - public education took a wrong turn decades ago!
Y K I’m leaving next year. The children are good at least in my class and they are learning but I feel like in 15 years I won’t have the patience to teach children. And I’m going into the Accounting profession
Parents don't teach their entitled kids to respect adults. Second; O'bama's school discipline policy contributed to this as well. Look it up if you don't know.
So if i understood correctly, if a white kid and a black kid did something wrong, they should not be punished equally?
www.manhattan-institute.org/html/obama-school-discipline-danger
@@spacecy Yes. Obama had his "people" contact each state school board to "strongly encourage" schools to not punish black students because they had been getting such a bad rap. If a black student hurt a white kid in school-that's ok because the black student has the right to do that. Don't you just love Obama?!
@@rubystewart3814 wow, i didn't know obama was such a racist. i'm not american, i just observe what is happening. If black kids have been getting such a bad rap, i don't think its because they are getting punished more by 'racist teachers' or anything like that. its because they actually do things they shouldn't, and prevent the rest of kids from learning. 'Not punishing' them because it appears to be 'racist' is not a solution, actually it makes the problem worse because kids will know they will get away with it. I think this policy was made to divide american people and to cause MORE racism, not prevent it. Did Trump cancel this policy?
@@spacecy neither get the punishment they deserve - they get a free pass, over and over again. This is why so many school shootings could have been prevented. Thank you O'bama. Thanks for letting us "keep our insurance and Dr." too.
yeah Obama is totally at fault for it all
We don’t need more people or mental health “experts” in the classroom. We need parents to parent their own children and to stop throwing the parenting responsibilities to the government run day care known as the public school system.
Same story over and over, school after school, town after town. Pretending this is a school issue or a teacher issue or an administrative issue is idiotic. This is a societal issue that needs addressed starting in the home before the kid ever goes anywhere near a school.
Jack Mars this is the best comment I’ve read for this issue. Well said
Yes, thanks to utter lack of community participation in public schools the worst of the worst end up running things.
I've had the sad misfortune of watching what were once great well respected high quality school turn to shit simply because a handful of idiot got on the school boards due to the public not caring and then proceed to destroy the place as fast as they could.
When a school district of thousands has awful people get on it board because they literally so unchallenged it took less than 10 votes to get on, that tell's you what wrong. Then to make it worse, once in figure out that when challenged they have a blank check lawyer backing to keep them there due to they being able to just vote that the schools money pays for whatever they want to litigate to death just to make sure they get their way.

We learned what our brains were capable of and allowed to be children!!
@Pamelia E, yes, there is something terrible wrong with the children- it's called mom and dad.
@@dragonsickness4561 , it's not vaccines. It's a lot of women putting off having kids until their 30's and 40's for their careers, not understanding or caring it exponentially puts them at higher risk past 32.

Andrew Ward yeah and kids from the Stone Age had it worst. They’d probably say the same about how easy kids from your generation had it
They've taken discipline out of the classroom. Admins look the other way and don't back up teachers efforts. Children have to know that there are consequences to their actions. Many times there are no consequences and enforcement. Yes, it's that bad. Disruptive classrooms are a source of high stress and generally unhealthy for teachers. It's true. (Source: personal experience) Also, parents now believe that it's the responsibility of the schools to raise their children. And all you admins out there, stop tip toeing around the issue. Do what is necessary.
From Leo, And where do most of the administrators come from? Most were from the ranks of public school teachers. You don't see the problems this bad in schools led by nuns.

John Doe that still exists but is dying out fast
Sounds like you had every last brain cell whipped out of you. That's unfortunate that you can't see what really changes and helps these students. In my school district in Minneapolis we have teachers and SEAs (Paras) with training to meet children where they are at and build the up by helping them find some sense of stability. We have 10 to 15 student class sizes so students can make a sense of community so they are actively engaged in there own learning. I think your school district completely failed you and that hurts my heart and I'm truly sorry for you. Any idea of violence only begets more violence and when we respond to children's actions with violence especially in schools and around their peers we create a climate were that student can't learn and won't grow, and they especially won't be ready to learn when they reach highschool and won't be ready to enter the work force after let alone manage their lives in a college setting.

I fully agree with this statement!!!! As an elective high school teacher, the amount of students with behavioral, learning & mental health issues are insane. How is one person expected to teach a whole classroom of students without the proper training, tools, & support? It is just not possible!!!!
If they don't get the discipline they need at home, this is what it leads to.

In 2009, I went back to school and completed my Master's in Elementary Education with honors and have over 15 years teaching experience. I am a single mother who was raising 2 children while finishing my Master's. In 2017, I was offered 38,000 dollars a year at Catholic elementary school in Jersey City. Along with my whole class teaching , I was also responsible for running the 2 biggest fund raisers for the school, the Scholastic Book Fairs for fall and spring, plus was responsible for the sacraments of penance and first communion( (which included weekend non-paid working). I easily worked over 60 hours every week, including most of every Sunday prepping for the new week with lesson plans, grading homework, etc. While teaching there, I developed high blood pressure and started having anxiety attacks. I lasted 2 years and had to leave from declining health due to stress. The principal was ruthless and critical on all my alternative teaching styles. I had children in my class that clearly needed pull out services, but didn't get them. Teachers are so underpaid and overworked. It is such a stressful job. I would never encourage any young person I know to go into teaching. It is a thankless profession and burnout is fast and furious.
I was a school bus driver and my first year of working, I've had behavior problems and often had to pull the bus over. I was called in to the supervisor's office and was told to take the kids to their destinations on time. I should've quit right then and there because as a safety sensitive job, the number one priority is safety and apparently the management and parents loss sight of that. I eventually quit anyway after two years off and on. Things were a lot different from when I was a kid when bus drivers, teachers and principals would get away with corporal punishment. Nowadays you can't really do much to those kids without getting yourself in trouble and the way things are now I will never want to work at another school district again.

There's even plenty of documented cases where a woman will put a man's name on the birth certificate who is not the father, And never even had intercourse with the man... You do not know what you are talking about
When we took corporal punishment, the bible and the flag out of schools we signed our own death warrant.
I agree with everything you said except the bible in school we need separation of religon and state
The bible does not prevent bad behavior. In fact, it often encourages it. Flags are also not out of schools. Catholic schools are some of the worst fucking places too. Kids are just as rotten.
We had much less violence in school when prayer was allowed.
@@s0515033 You are full of $#IT.
@@psilvakimo No, I just speak the harsh truth. Religion doesn't make people better. If anything, it may make them worse. Areas with the highest teen pregnancy, STD rates, and violence tend to be the most religious. Some of the worst areas have the highest religiosity and religion correlates strongly with poor societal outcomes.
If you think religion makes people better, let me introduce you to Hamas, ISIS, and Hezbolah.
Let's see, denigrate men, tell mothers they don't need no man in their life, and let children choose the course of their own lives.
I am frustrated in my job for the same reasons, which come back primarily to parents not being responsible for their student's behavior, and a lack of disciplinary measures taken by the school. I don't like taking a punitive approach, but sometimes it is necessary. Also, I have a developmentally disabled student who also has serious behavioral problems. The two may or may not be connected, but certainly make for disastrous situations in the classroom. Multiple times per day, student learning is interrupted by this student having emotional outbursts - screaming, throwing chairs, etc. How can anyone learn in that environment? That student is only 1 of 5 in my class who have behavioral issues, which interrupt student learning. "Inclusion" policies can look great on paper, but can be disastrous in practice.
@@LuckyMe24-7 disableds plural not possessive You probably mean "disabled". Fix it!!
@@LuckyMe24-7 mr_seth comment mentioned a "lack of disciplinary measures taken by the school." This is the "elephant in the living room" that you choose to ignore. City schools are not enforcing any discipline or control, allowing chaos to rule the classroom and entire school property and the nearby neighborhood. Try living next door to a city school, and then get back to me on how well you are making out as an adult.
You need to put the students who don’t want to be school into forced farms and factories.
I believe that's known as "slavery" and has been outlawed in the United States since the end of the Civil War.
@@maxalberts85 its really funny how slavery to minorities (blacks) is more offending than prisoner. I think its because they really truly do not want to do anything physical for someone else. But laying on a cot behind bars is right up their alley
@@tompopper9051 You need to learn correct grammar and punctuation. It's important to be able to communicate clearly in English, no matter how short a time you have been in our country.
@@maxalberts85 Typical. Can't think of a good retort so punctuation is what you go after. My suggestion to you, Shakespeare, is you might want to stay off internet comment sections if autocorrected grammar and puntuation are too much to handle. Its youtube, not the Magna Carta.
Mandatory attendance in education is so the police departments will not have to deal with the policing of incorrigible students. The juvenile courts and community schools in California are overburdened and not funded to provide correctional programs.
Here is an answer: actually enforce real homework, tests, and performance-based grades, and kids who do not pass get kicked out of the public school system while those parents lose welfare eligibility. Watch how fast suddenly kids learn to work, things will actually get better in a generation. Starvation is the universal motivator, and we can only diminish starvation with both the carrot AND the stick: opportunity and no handouts.

@@124085 exactly! And we should start with you!
I bet most of the kids are in foster homes.
I like your idea. ;)
Sad thing is you cant blame it on poverty. I have family in a very poor 3rd world country that are very poor and visted there schools kids are well behaved respectful.
because they don't put up with such foolishness, they probably still have corporal punishment
Very true. As a former teacher I had plenty of well-behaved kids from poor families and plenty of spoiled kids from wealthy families.
Take the internet out of the home and out of schools. Problem solved. Force the kids to (gasp) read books
hayley s thank you for your sanctimonious yet utterly pointless comment. If you would enlighten me then maybe I could depart from my enormous ignorance.
When I was younger children got spanked for their "Crisis" and there weren't daily outbursts or school violence.
I remember in third grade I said a bad word and the teacher took me to the rest room and washed my mouth with soap!!!I stopped swearing right then!!!
@@tatialo37 well now that Is considered child endangerment, It's even worse when the action Is carried out by a non parent
Y'all are Weak Minded.
In my school they were Not Kidding. The school was set up in a way the teachers were within earshot of each other. The students could be quickly ushered straight to the principal's office by awaiting guards. The Entire adult staff came out to watch and stand ready for All breaks between, before, or after classes. Before a kid got two minutes into a tirade we had a retired army sergeant who had you by the shoulder and you were going That way like it or not. Suspension was in-school and guarded by two teachers and stopped in by staff. The principal and vice principal roamed the halls along with seargants and custodians ready to stop anything that started. Even the secretaries and nurse were nobody to mess with. We had high grade standards and almost nobody flunked or got pregnant. These people were tough but they Cared. Grow some damned backbone. These are our Kids.
Just the fact that you just described a prison guard situation and violent inmates says it all. The fact that you NEED that kind of policing says it all.
Damn i wish i was in that school. It seems that school in particular took things WAY too literally
Part of the problem is the sue-happy lawyers just like when law enforcement kills a bad guy and are sued because the ghetto family wants a payday. If you shot at the cops and get killed, why does your family get a payday? The teachers who defend themselves against violence from students are FIRED for protecting themselves. My solution is install video cameras in the classrooms and hold troublemakers, who ever they are accountable. Fines, incarceration, what ever it takes. We live with it now, right? And if crimes are committed , the case goes to court as well. We need strong judges and parents to deal with these issues, not our instructor's problems, they are there to teach.
They will steal the cameras.
Well said!
Joseph Rivera please please tell the people in TX where a black cop was shooting at a bad guy that was driving off in his car refusing to stop and he mistakenly kill the white kid in the back seat and he got 25 years in jail. Make it worse something happen bit color switch a mother cover her 16 month baby as cops shot in her car she die, cop did not go to jail. Cop have been killing both black and white people a lot lately it just that for some reason with white people get kill by the cops it do not make main stream news. Look up Bill Copper he was murder by our government his family got a check but i think they would like to have him here but the government wanted to silence him and they did.
@@Pulapaws I am talking about what is happening at our schools. Teachers being assaulted, classes disrupted. Case here in our area where the school had to put a girl in a padded room because she went off. A public school. I feel for all involved. What was the school to do? Let faculty and students get injured because of this student? Who cannot control herself? Nobody wins. Kids who disrupt classes. Kids causing chaos, and when teachers defend themselves, they are fired and or sued. About law enforcement; do ride-along(s), go through the citizens academy which usually gives you the experience in scenarios with shoot/don't shot time. Can't speak about your comment because neither of us were there. Someone committing a crime can cause innocents to die. Sad, but true. Look overseas where innocents are used as human shields, etc. War is evil, everyone pays. Be a teacher, cop, or deal with kids who are unruly. Where do we draw the lines in schools/ colleges with bad behavior? When is it enough? What if in your example if the person stealing the car gets in an accident killing innocents while committing a crime? Remember that the sword of justice is sharpened on both sides. Thanks for your comments. I hope we can have coffee together and have more discussions and come up with a remedy. Happy Holidays to you and yours...
“Spare the rod spoil the child.” We need to return to the “belt” at home, and the paddle with holes at school!!
Beat the breeders while you're at it.
Ok boomer.
It starts at Home 🏡 People !!!! It’s not the teachers 👩🏫 👨🏫 problem ⚠️ when you know you have a troubled kid ITS YOUR’S. Their job is to teach not be parent. Have respect for our educators and get involved with your children. And if you can't do that then DON'T HAVE children
Tell me how a kid behaves at school and I'll tell you what kind of parents he/she has.
Yup. That is precisely correct.
You do not know what you are talking about.
Truth.
Don't be sad. Save yourself teachers! You can't teach kids if you are unhealthy and unhappy. And the administration are paper pushers...screw them. RUN!!!
When I went to school we got paddled if we were bad and none of this shit was going on, you need to discipline these animals if the parents won't!
Outlawed by the Supreme Court, in case you hadn't noticed.
Oh, and by the way, you can't discipline kids with FAS. The part of their brains that respond to discipline and to memory are Swiss cheese. Read up on the science, if it's not too difficult for you to follow.
That's what the neighbors and uncles used to say back in the day, "I'll beat your @$$ if your daddy won't!" They did it too and we turned out much better than this generation now.
@@kimberlyhicks3644 Sure, and your last name says it all. By the way, how many teeth do you have?

Why are these kids having mental problems? That is the question that should be answered first.
2 places to look into are: parents as a choice and expansion of human rights law . The volume of divorced parents of children below 18 is skyrocketing and we have a trend of those who preferred to be single parents. The psychological effect on children raised in this environment is highly negative.
And then we have the law that limits the ability for parents to discipline their children. "He that spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him" Prov 23:24 is still the best way to raise children. Unfortunately our policy makers think differently.
For this lady to say we need "more mental health workers", is like saying we need more heroin for the "opiate crisis"....
How many "problem kids" are on psych drugs? *MOST*.... The psych drugs do more harm than good....

I work in a high school and this is the new normal. Starts with parenting or lack of. This is what is going to be running the country in the future.
I do custodial work in the school district where i live. When i worked at the high school during the last school year there was a group of 4 to 5 kids that would loiter in the school after the final bell rang for the day. They would lock each other out of the front entrance doors, run around the hallways, play tag, ride those Razor scooters in the hallways etc. Even though its really not my job to discipline those acts were hard to ignore, and the presence of those kids stressed me out. Since i know some kids after school were part of the stage crew i asked them if they were in which they said yes when in reality they lied saying they were just so they could stay in the building to fool around. I emailed the principal about the problem, and he replied that he would take care of it. A couple of days later after he exited the office to head home for the day he just walked past that group of kids like he could care less. Working there ive learned that the reason why kids may not wanna leave the school buildings is because their home lives are so shitty, but you cannot tell me that all those kids home lives are shitty. I aint buying it.
Like parents like kids! Kids behavior are just the reflection who their parents are.
Teachers are leaving the profession in the UK at an alarming rate?
We certainly are. I left at the end of last year as a supply teacher. Would rather be poor. I ended full time teaching in 2012. I saw the writing on the wall then after 8 years in a cesspool called Clacton-on-Sea.
You’re Right! Leaving my job too. Such a shame, we work so hard and get paid barely a penny. That’s not what we deserve at all. As a 5th grade science/math teacher, I can relate to all this BS! WE DESERVE MORE, WE WORK HARD. All this coronavirus crap has ruined my career! I’m having to look at virtual (online) and in-person kids at the same time! I’m tired of it! They never turn their cameras on and cheat on their tests. We need better pay.
People predicted this when parents and teachers started getting in trouble for punishing the students who do wrong and the people who make these decisions generally do not have kids and don't have to deal with them on a 1 on 1 basis. These kids are our future economy, when you get old can you depend on them or is it going to fall apart like the classrooms of today.
No God No Peace, Know God Know peace. This has become an atheist nation and a material world. What else can we expect.
completely irrelevant. Vaccines are destroying our kids' brains and causing behavioral problems. Wake up sheeple.
A sky daddy dont have nothing to do with this. Its parents.
I am a school bus driver in Illinois and taking high school students to school is like a dream in comparison to what this article portrays. They board the buses in an orderly manner. They do not curse at the driver nor the teachers at all. They sit quietly and, upon leaving the bus, over 90% of the students will thank the bus driver, be it arriving at school or upon arriving at home.
Young teachers are claiming that the biggest surprise upon entering the profession is how much respect their students all show in the classroom. They are very well organized and behave more like adults than any of the past generations, including those of the 50s or even the 40s.
Now, they are imperfect adults, but so are the rest of us. I am 70 and I never sat on a military bus as orderly as the one I drive right now. When people are treated like adults, they behave like adults. I do not call my students "kids" at all.
It wasn't that way years ago but the turning point started to come around 2012.
However,I do admit that middle school will always be a problem. That age group is either too old or too young to do anything so they act out the most. When students in the past did stand up and get out of hand and curse, I would remind them that they are anything but a rebel, living at home with mama and riding a yellow bus to school. When gangs would threaten me, I would remind them that the brain cells necessary to practice self-control are the same ones they use to zip up their pants and tuck the short thing back inside their pants whenever mother knocks on the bedroom door at night. Every male on the planet knows where they are. They sit right down and shut up.
What has changed dealing with young people the most is autism - by far.
I went through this when I taught elementary school and no one did anything about it. It was as if the administration wanted/ invited it.
Thats a fact!Money
