Teachers these days are flipping angels

[media=https://youtu.be/ugDTr4UhqqU]
I see the behaviour she speaks of EVERYDAY !

Kids who go to school ONLY to socialize and make drama.
They do what ever they want.

Im not kidding.

I had two girls that NEVER went to class and sat in the hallway everyday....all day.

Kids walk out of class when they want, verbally abuse teachers, spit on them, say the most disgusting things to them.
Its worse than street behavior coz they know staff cant touch them or say a thing .

Students will deliberately act out at a teacher while another is filming them.... then they post it on Facebook/tiktok/etc.

Even tho its illegal - they dont care.


I see teachers sitting at their desk after the students have gone for the day....blankly numb, or internally defusing - and some, like this teacher, outright cry.

It usually takes about the first two terms before i see them start to crack.... but they do.

Its awful.

These are wonderful people who want to be educators - and they are treated like shit.

This teacher is SPOT ON.
This generation coming thru has so many kids that 'just dont care'.
....about anything except there phones, their Nikes and their hair. ...oh, and their rights.

Somehow, somewhere along the way of them growing up, they never got the memo about their responsibilities as human beings.

And their parents blame the school for the behavior 🙄

I dont know what's going to happen to society in the next 10 years as these kids become adults and enter it.


But DON'T CARE....is the signature theme of their gen.
They dont care if they get in trouble.
They dont care if they don't learn.
They dont care if we call the police.
They dont care if they smash walls, destroy equipment kick in doors.
They just dont care about anything.

And we get in trouble if we cross one of their boundaries.


The system is broken.
And its breaking good passionate teachers 🫤

Its the same here in Wales.
I work in early years...3 to 7 year olds and believe me, the attitude sets in very early.
We have kids who refuse to do any set activities, they just do exactly what they like. If we attempt to coax them, we get hit, kicked, bitten and have stuff chucked at us. The response of management....make sure you log it.....its horrendous.

Teachers and support staff are being bullied by babies and teens....and it doesn't seem like anything is being done about it.

@RubySoo GEEZ !

What happened to kids loving school ?

Where did all this come from ?

Is it parenting is a lost art?
Is it too much day care?
Is it that parents have no time coz they both work ?

How are these kids becoming so dysfunctional?

I said to some one else its like Lord of the Flies is starting to happen.

Kids are becoming feral instead of smart.


And and youre totally right.
Staff just get abused physically and emotionally.

At any given time last year we had at least a third of our staff off. Usually 'undefined reasons' or just plain stress leave.

We've had staff accosted, beaten, gang jumped, spat on, pushed, shoved, threatened with their jobs, their lives.
Staff cars have been vandalized, tyres cut, windscreens smashed, even stolen and burnt out.

Department covers none of that.
One staff member got hit so hard she is permanently affected. Can't drive. Has balance problems. Will never work or be the same again.

And yet the department and the government turns a deaf ear the alarm bells that are blasting at us every damn day.

I tell ya....something is going to break.

I can only speak for the US where the average teacher has been emasculated. Punishments for inappropriate behavior need to have backbone.

I’m in my 60’s, so I grew up in a time where corporal punishment wasn’t a big deal. If you act up, you can be hit, given detention or even expelled. You act up and it’s going on your permanent record. Colleges won’t accept that.

Now, without parents being properly invested, the system will only work for the few that are self-motivated.

@BrandNewMan The school i work at is in a high generational unemplyment area, many of these kids come from dusfuntional homes bereft of nearly any sort of structured 'parenting'.

They are what we call 'sociallly disabled' already.

It creates in the staff mixed emotions of empathy, anger, and SO MUCH frustration....that the system IS failing them.

Softly, softly isnt working.
Its just creating soft humans....that dont know how soft they are.

They are mentally soft
Physically soft
Emotionally soft
Lack attention spans
Lack abilty to focus
Have no drive
Have no hope or even vision of a Future for themselves.
....and no care or awareness of how much they are missing out on just.... developing.

I work with 16 year olds.
And in all honesty - many act like 10 - 12 year olds.
Their education when they finish school is lucky to match that.

I don't know how the government can keep ignoring this.

And as seen here in this thread....its world wide.
Well...1st world wide.

The worst part of all of this is....the kids dont even know how much they dont know.
Their entitlement comes from sheer ignorance.

These kids dont even have the social survival skills to cope with the society we expect them to enter, let alone adult to any degree.

@BrandNewMan yeah....sounds familar.

Mind you...at this school, the upside is we're cool with hiring support staff with 'backgrounds' .

It kinda helps😂

My soon to be ex is a teacher .. my feelings about her otherwise aside, it takes a special person to do that job well these days, and its still hard on them.

Aye.

I did teaching many moons ago …loved my career back then tbf.

Worked two jobs and studied like a lunatic to get there - then one day i decided to leave not bc I didn’t love teaching but because i was mothering other peoples kids and that wasn’t a part of my job description. I wasn’t there to do the work lazy parents should have been doing.

The day I left and returned to working from home was the best decision I ever made 🙏🏼💕

I've seen this too. The PC movement had some good motives, but over-corrected terribly. There needs to be functional consequences at every level of society.

@Bexsy its imsane.
Wjen the teachers call the parents about something, they often get abuse over the phone.

Something is going to break soon. We can't keep going like this.

Ive been saying the last few years, we need security guards in each class room its that bad.

The biggest problem is the ones tasked with teaching responsibility don’t want to do their job. Instead send them to school and tell the teacher it’s their job!!

the system is broke here as well. they have openly normalized chaos and mediocrity. Any sort of discipline is labeled as fascist. and every year that goes by, the kids fall farther and farther behind.

@OogieBoogie some will learn the error of their ways and try to straighen up...... and some never learn. then you see them over and over again. in prison, out of prison, back in, back out.
always someone elses fault. and if they have kids, many times, the cycle repeats. its very sad to see.

@MayorOfCrushtown that sounds familar to here.

Generational unemployed teaching their kids the same ethos.
If they are bright enough, they go into crime, if they aren't they become life long dole bludgers.

And the girls pop out kids like vending machines.

🤦‍♀

@Convivial well, see.... you've nailed it right there.

One day theyll have to enter the workforce.
The thing is - i really wonder if they will.

They're as unfit as all hell.
They complain about going up one flight of stairs. They survive on monsters and red bull.

I think by 30 they are going to start a whole new health crisis pandemic.

I can see a social crisis coming in a few decades.

@OogieBoogie unfortunately I think you're correct... There will be a whole mass of steeple being told what to do but those in charge... Sound familiar?
