My wife teaches in a well-off upper-middle class elementary school. Every year for the past 25 years, she goes through a phase during the first half of the school year where she has to come to grips with the stuff like this that half the class is dealing with. You would think, "These are big houses. Look at those cars. These kids have it made." and for half, that is true, but for the other half, their life is skewed. 50% is in the good neighborhoods. One of her friends went to teach at an at-risk school and you're looking at 90% dealing with this stuff. All of the teachers, first day, try to let the kids know this is their safe space. Teachers focus on making sure the kids are eating. Try to let them just focus on learning. Teachers are a special kind of person and work night and day for their students. There is massive burn-out. Respect from parents has dwindled to almost nothing thanks to the media and politics using schools as wedge issues.
Teachers don't want to be rich. They're not in it for the money. Teachers want to have their classrooms funded so they're not having to buy supplies with their own money. Teachers want to be able to afford to buy a house somewhere in the city they teach in. Teachers want to be able to have a retirement that that isn't borderline poverty.

They are litterally .. every year.. getting worse when before.. for many many years kids were increasing their scores. Teachers and students are on the decline.

Kids dont need to be in school full time my kid is not anywhere near old enough but 1 hour a day with me will set them up for success much better than any public school . I can guarantee that.
The apple also does not fall far from the tree. For some people and their offspring public school ... with how bad it really is.. is still the best option
But ill be teaching my kid how to be a business owner and electrician before the age of 10 . I make a comfortable 6 figures with things that cannot and wont be taught in school .. to be fair it is very much to each their own situation

Unironically, peak mentality. And I’m sure he understands childhood development to make sure he’s hitting the appropriate learning windows for certain skills.
He definitely won’t just be exploiting his kid for free, shitty labor for his 6-figure-salary electrician work.

Education begins in the home, actually, and the majority of parents are not qualified to teach their children past a certain level. Also, the budget for schooling in America doesn't exist, teachers buy classroom supplies out of their own paycheck. How about we criticize the actual systems that causes this? Literacy rate is down, parents are supposed to teach that. There is failure on multiple levels here.
I also see in another comment that, " 1 hour a day with me will set them up for success" but I highly doubt that because you cannot even see past the surface to judge the actual school system and not the individual teachers.

u/Generalnussiance 2d ago edited 2d ago
What. Since when is stating problems of your job a projection? These are actually things that are common place in school districts.
This country has some serious problems in the education department that school is responsible for but they lack the capability to deal with these issues. Then the problem trickles down to the teachers.
We lack a psychology department in schools. We lack resources to provide the needs for the students. CPS is lacking on their reports, and mostly because there’s a shortage of foster parents and adopters. I can’t count how many times I’ve mandated reported on some seriously big issues for it to be ignored. Repeatedly. What can the teachers do but go to work and keep teaching in accordance to compliance laws and school district regulations? Honestly wtf.
There’s actual bullying and violence on students. Kids committing suicide from bullying. Bus drivers getting hammered driving students and crashing. Teachers and coaches dating students is another huge issue and not as talked about as it needs to be.
Parents can’t afford childcare after school either. It’s getting to the point where siblings of inappropriate ages are watching their siblings. Or children and young teens are trying to work to help their parents and kind of forfeiting their own education to sacrifice for the home needs…
School lunches lack nutrition! There’s a decent amount of kids that depend on school nutrition because home doesn’t provide it. It’s a huge problem. Our taxes should be better allocated in the school districts this is insanity.
This issue gets immensely worse in multicultural schools or low income districts.
Your worried about standardized testing which half assedly regulates of students are comprehending important concepts to the best of their ability… when we got kids bringing guns to schools and murdering teachers like that 6 yo. We got kids not eating lunches. We got kids whose parents can’t afford health insurance and get them the help they need… but your caught up on standardized testing not being useful. Jesus man.
The issue is far worse than standardized testing. Holy shit man you’re like out in space. In many parts of the country we got ICE arresting parents of students. We got kids who lack adequate housing, safety, care, medical, food, clothing, food, books, school supplies, transportation all that.
Kids bringing weapons to schools to the point a lot of inner city schools have fucking metal detectors like airports. It’s insane. Drugs are another huge problem in schools.
Homeschooling. Do you hear yourself? They can’t afford necessities but you think parents can stay home and homeschool instead of work? That’s your solution. Just don’t work and raise your own kids, what rich universe are you in my guy? Most parents in these school districts lack education for them damn selves and are not qualified to be teaching their kids anyway. Worried about standardized testing dumbing people down… your solution would make it WORSE.
Come on, think past the fucking SATS for a minute. This is a class war issue. A government let down. Real people are suffering.
This isn’t even just an only America problem. World wide schools aren’t meeting standards. Kids are suffering.

Over the long term, official rates of substantiated child abuse have significantly gone down in the United States, particularly since their peak in the early 1990s.
Since the 1990s, confirmed cases of physical and sexual child abuse have dropped sharply:
Physical Abuse: Decreased by over 60% since its peak in the early 1990s.
Sexual Abuse: Decreased by over 60% during the same multi-decade span.
In 2020, there were approximately 619,000 confirmed child victims of abuse or neglect.
By 2024, that figure fell to around 532,000 confirmed victims (a rate of roughly 7.2 per 1,000 children), representing a 14% decrease over four years.

u/AsparagusEntire1730 2d ago
Unfortunately that may have more to do with reductions in capacity for investigation and follow through on claims and failure to report.There are so many kids that don't have a happy ending even though their case was deemed unsubstantiated/unconfirmed. You have to remember that many of the cases that eventually are substantiated it was after multiple reports that previously were deemed unsubstantiated. Sadly, it's also the case some kids run away or don't make it past the first report becauseof retaliation. Look at the statistics for missing and exploited children rates and how that paces the decline in confirmed abuse cases.

Reports of missing children to law enforcement dropped by roughly 40% between the late 1990s and the 2010s.

You notice how nothing she mentioned has to do with the kids education. All of it has to do with issues the kids have outside of the classroom.
Teachers are more focused on being therapists instead of educating kids.
When kids are bad in class they try to diagnose the kid with some mental illness that is stopping the kid from paying attention and doing their work...instead of writing the kid up and getting them out of the classroom so the other kids can focus.
When you give a kid a way to get out of doing their work they are going to take advantage of it. Thats why you have kids in high-school that can barely read, write, or do math. Every year that kid passed instead of being held back a teacher failed them.

I taught middle school science for a few years. This video may be hypothetical but it’s highly accurate. She just described every class I ever had. My school pulled from affluent, middle class, and impoverished neighborhoods, and had a decent mix of cultures (Black, Latino, white, Asian, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and various immigrants).
The unifying factors across groups were that many had IEPs for various learning and/or mental health issues, and ~85% were actively dealing with shit that would break a lot of adults. Since they’re kids and don’t know how to deal with all that shit, they come to school and act out. So, it’s not that teachers are choosing to play therapist and diagnose the kids. That’s just what they’re seeing everyday. Believe me, they’d much rather focus on teaching.

Teachers often dont have the authority to fail kids. Admin typically requires a >95% pass rate and often overrides the final grade from a teacher. You also somehow got it right with your first sentence and then completely missed the point with every sentence after. No amount of classroom effort will overcome severe domestic deficits at home. The problem is, and practically always will be, a parenting problem. It is very easy to raise children who excel educationally. Many parents are just absolute garbage

u/EatsHerVeggies 2d ago
Just fyi, this person’s take is wildly off-base and demonstrates an egregious misunderstanding of how school systems operate and the role of teachers within those systems. They have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, and also completely missed the point of the video entirely, which is to illustrate the barriers to academic achievement that make teaching and learning challenging. This person unequivocally does not work in education, has taken no time to study or research education, and is exclusively operating off of their own limited personal experiences and perceptions of what they believe education should be like. The confidence of their take is only matched by its embarrassing inaccuracy. So let’s clear it up:
Teachers are explicitly trained NOT to say or do anything that implies a medical diagnosis of any kind. They can document observations and share those with parents or with trained professionals, such as a school psychologist, but under no circumstances ever would it be appropriate to try and “diagnose a kid with some mental illness.” Like, that’s lawsuit levels of no-no. If a kid DOES have a diagnosis and an IEP, the teacher is legally required to implement their accommodations. It is the law, not a choice or a modern-day teaching preference.
Teachers have zero control over a school’s discipline systems. Zero. Null. Nada. None. Those systems and policies are designed by school and administrative leadership. Teachers can control systems in their own classroom, but unless the school allows teachers to “write up a kid and send them out” that is not a choice a teacher can make. I once had an administrator tell me “a good teacher could have a chair thrown at them without it impacting instruction.” You think they had a way to “write up” behavior? Hahahahahaha no, Steve, no they did not.
Teachers also have zero say in which students are held back. Literally none. Less than none. These are also school policies put in place by site and district leadership, and sometimes even the state. Whether a kid is held back or moved on, a teacher had absolutely no say in that decision. If you wanna be mad about it, go to school board meetings and complain to them. You honestly have more impact on that decision than the teacher does.
The reasons kids can’t read or do math are complex. Parents don’t read to their kids at all, and don’t encourage their kids to read. The whole Lucy Caulkins and abandoning phonics debacle (again, not a choice of teachers). Smart phone addictions for students and parents. Disturbing amounts of neglect. No child left behind policies. I could go on, and on, and on, but anyone with more than two brain cells can immediately discern that it’s not caused by teachers caring about their students beyond their academic performance.
Implying that a kid who is in foster care or living in an abusive household is somehow manipulating that situation so they don’t have to do their schoolwork is just beyond fucked. What a truly weird and heinous thing to say. I’ve had kids eat food out of the garbage can because they hadn’t eaten all weekend. I’ve had teenage kids come to class having soiled themselves because they were experiencing sexual abuse in the home. You think they did that because they don’t like doing math and pegged me as a bleeding heart? Fuck all the way the fuck off.

But for hell's sake: As a retired middle school educator who taught young men from ages 10-18 in grades 6-8; a big sister, and an auntie, and community leader, let's do a quick survey around our homes and communities.
Can your/our American Black boys and young men from ages 10-25:
understand that there is a systemic, documented planned erasure of Black American boys and men?
read a page from a book that has at least 20-50 lines?
write more than 1-2 sentences to explain their thoughts or positions or anything?
sign their names - not print but write their signatures?
draw comparative analyses between one item, issue, or person to another?
speak about any political, social, or cultural issue or offer an opinion on one of these?
wipe their butts without leaving much excrement in their underwear or boxers?
tie their shoes?
express a genuine issue in solving a problem or issue?
begin to understand what commitment to anything or anyone may mean or exemplify?
understand the difference in the balance between their emotional, physical, and mental health?
understand the power and difference between consent and the word or act of "no"?
respect their families, friends, communities, teachers, etc.?
explore educational and/or workforce options that may include college or technical training but does not include athleticism, entertainment, or notably, streaming/gaming?
complete a chore and/or assignment with more than 2-3 instructions?
understand that they have the power to be technological, scientific, agricultural, financial, or any other industry-wide success or geniuses?
If you are not adding to our boys' and men's ability to achieve one or more than these, but you've complained about it in your communities in ways that match what others say, maybe we need to revisit our anger. If you have contributed to their success in one or more of these areas, keep going. It is difficult as hell but you are doing incredible work and what others seem to have forgotten to do as they complain.

Nothing different about any of these problems from every generation that came before them. The difference is these kids have greater access to books, technology and education than every generation that came before them and they’re doing less with all of it.

teaching high school and lower is a job you could never convince me to do. the fact that the only reason the people who do it do it is that they fear for what would happen to the kids if they didn't, makes it indistinguishable from a hostage situation. teaching at the university level is quickly moving in this direction.

Maybe we should employ teachers who can speak English properly?

There is no such thing as 'proper English' - an English teacher

u/MojoRisin909 2d ago
How about the teacher being able to properly spell common words like 'favoritism' and 'criticizing'? Is it proper they know how to spell?

u/benjerman-radblaster 2d ago
Sure, but i would spell it favouritism because I'm Canadian. Do I not speak 'proper' English?

Then you need to do those kids a favor and quit.

u/benjerman-radblaster 2d ago
Already did 9 years ago and never looked back. Do you cheer for teachers to quit?

It’s not just what the teachers deal with. It’s what these kids are going through as well. Teachers need to be a paid a helluva lot more. More funding needs to be allocated for programs to aid these kids. Sad times we live in.

She forgot to point at the teacher seat. Triflin no teeth sounded teacher that rather post online video talking about her student problems than helping them.

I’m having a hard time believing this video only cause all the hand writing looks the same. But I do know students are struggling I’m not denying anything what students live with. The handwriting is off IMO.

Im pretty sure this was a meant to be a demonstration. to show the literal traumas of students and where they are sitting would be a major breach of confidentiality and professional ethics

Um because she wrote the papers… are you slow?
2
u/MojoRisin909 2d ago
Yeah, and the 'teacher' can't even spell 'favoritism' or 'criticizing' properly. Maybe she's part of the problem too.

u/PathVast4155 2d ago
Exactly my point….

u/TomatilloAgreeable73 2d ago
You think she had an assignment where she told the kids to write their deep dark secrets down and then blasted the class online for views? SHE is explaining her student population.
