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 🫤

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 Wow, so true. That was worthy of fear.

Good call.
@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.

@OogieBoogie She teaches 5th grade in a charter school
.. some overlap of those issues for sure .. lotta grandmas and aunts as guardians, a parent incarcerated, etc
@BrandNewMan yeah....sounds familar.

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

It kinda helps😂
