Hellooo! Im from Venezuela living in Madrid - Spain . Im New here and i need HELP with my teaching, activities etc my students are spanish, they dont like English and i have these classes 2 times per week the same classes, the same students 12,13, 15 years old 😢 S.O.S

Kung Fu should be part of teacher training.

It’s not only teachers other jobs are causing this. Think about it 8 hours is a lot for one day of work. 24 hours you work 8 that’s not including the travel time which for some is more than an hour, in addition, we need 8 hours of sleep so what are we left with?

That is correct you know my sister is a teacher. Do you know what’s going on with the teaching world in America right now? Do you know what they’re doing to our children? Do you know what they want to teach our children? I think these people are being excessively, attacked on purpose in my opinion Because they want them to quit so they can put someone in there that can push their agenda on diversity, critical race theory and I just don’t understand why they don’t just tell the parents tell the parents what they’re trying to teach the kids. It says you have no legal obligation to do so but the right thing to do is tell the parents we need to protect our children and keep boys at a girl Spaces just my opinion it’s what they’re pushing right now on our teachers on our education system on our military education and it will be stopping soon hopefully and I’m praying to God it does soon. And if I’m wrong or the reason why they’re quitting then I’m just explaining my point and what you’re doing in our educational system pushed agenda by the Biden Harris administration..

Why a teacher need to be 8-9 hours at work?, 4 hours a day should be considered full-time hours

Hello, l am a priamry teachear from Algeria.can you help me how or what IS the good way to teach sounds?

I take one question like puzzle or game or gk type linked to the topic and play with them

The Department of Education is one unconstitutional and two proven to be incompetent from 1979 when it was created American education is only been on a decline

Teachers only have themselves to blame. They support teachers unions and the woke ideology that they support that caused this problem. Congratulations you played yourself

We are doomed....

Leaving? Why would anyone stay? Teaching has become unbearable.

Damaged boys cant be fixed by the teachers.

Folks have seen the writing on the wall for decades now. Underpaid, overworked, kids not prepared for the lowest level of education and social behaviors. You can see this countries problems in public education and we are in huge trouble.

This is great!! Which country is this?

I blame parents like my mom and dad would not ask what they did they would ask what I DID

Hello, from Romania

Hey Eric! Thanks for being here.

I went to college and was told to be prepared for having a co-teacher and I was all for this as it’s going to be a 50/50 split in the workload. However most teachers don’t get a co-teacher due to the educator shortage and if you do it’s not as simple as a 50/50 split as you may have to do the work of others as well as your own due to their educator shortage. I’m currently an teacher to toddlers and have a co-teacher and in “our” classroom things are split fairly equally between ourselves and our aid, however I am often asked to fill in or substitute for others who can’t be bothered to show up or work their full shift for one reason or another causing me to have the workload of 2 or more individuals. This isn’t even to mention that I have to know each and every kid in our program and what they need. This is my first job out of college and it’s so much harder than I was informed. Don’t get me wrong I love teaching but this increased workload plus behavior isssues is getting to me and it’s only been 1 year.

Parenting crisis. Teaching starts at birth. Sad state of affairs.

No worries, you look perfect

I’ve worked in education a long time especially in upper middle class schools. And I’ve noticed the entitlement with parents in PTO’s think they run the show and often argue with the teachers on how they should be teaching. And since they give money and resources to these schools. They get away with it. The teachers have enough on their plates to not have to deal with entitled spoiled Karen’s

Hi,from Durres,Albania

I was feeling burnout and anxiety, it was the environment and people. I moved schools! I moved to a place where Im more supported and get paid more! As a teacher, your jobs will never be done. Once you realize that, you can just do what you can do. Yes, the kids are feral, also realize you didn't raise them. You can only do so much.

Thanks for your live!!It´s really helpful and your accent is very clear!! See you next time!!

Teaching became much harder when the No Child Left Behind BS came into existence. This law basically said that if the student is failing, it’s the teacher’s fault.

All about deteriorating culture. In this world all we have are divorced parents, single 304 moms, social media addiction, phone distractions, egotistical parents that see you as the enemy bc they don't trust public schools YET REFUSE TO HOMESCHOOL THEIR OWN EFFING BRATS, and schools themselves that are overlorded by government mandates which demand endless useless paperwork, testing, and literal miracles to make apathetic kids succeed. Now that Trump wants to do away with the dept of education, this brings hope bc now states will decide school requirements, not federal government, which will more FORCE parents to finally have actual accountability. This culture of millennial parents has been a cancer to modern day childhood. Now having the threat of their brat being left behind a grade will have mommy and MAYBE daddy (if he exists) get off their phones and get their lazy asses up to keep their kids accountable.

For one there's no standards when it comes to teachers. My son is in fourth grade and his teachers are complete morons he's in special need classes because he's got a learning curve and they keep pushing him and pushing him and he don't even know how to spell or do simple subtracting adding or multiplication. This all goes back to 2009 when Obama gave the 4.5 billion for all these states to create this common core agenda bull crap that all these teachers unions States and federal government got involved into dumb down our kids. And when you talk to the teachers about this oh third grade is a transition period fourth grade is a transition period and they keep passing them and passing them. So it starts with standards of teachers and they're absolutely no standards cuz once they get into the teachers union once they get tender there's no consequences for them and not for nothing the teachers that are teaching our kids just got out of school themselves and then they sit there and teach to our kids their political agendas and their agendas. So if you're quitting goodbye because you're useless

I wish you had more than anecdotal evidence. There are trends that show a bigger issue.

I agree with most of it, but not the low compensation. We cannot ever pay teachers enough to work the way they are working. I’m a big fan of getting rid of all the overhead putting so much pressure on teachers, starting with the Dept of Education. Return teaching to real teachers, not the money grubbing people looking for a fat paycheck. Teaching is a gift people have, then a skill. Not everyone can do it.

Pretty much impossible to be a teacher with conservative values... No way I could be forced to spread the liberal agenda!!

your ideas changed me a lot and am now a changed teacher ,THANK U ERIC

I’m so glad I had a father (god rest his soul) who would’ve never ever put up with me or my brother disrespecting our teachers. My dad had such high regard for educators he moved us from Pakistan just for us to get a good education.

GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS !!!

I think that families should form a co-op, and hire teachers. Parents can take turns aiding the teacher.

The teaching profession is over. Whoever stays is a masochist and doing everyone a disservice.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

I was always hard to motivate but a friend of mine was impossible to motivate. I'm 60 and I still have a fixed mind set which can hold me back. The problem is that I always take feedback as personal criticism and when this happens I can lose motivation for weeks. Also I've always done the minimum I can get away with...e.g. I only ever aimed to passed an exam but never bothered to try to get an 'A' or 'Distinction'.

From Algeria, thank you.

How about a class that can't understand any instructions whatever the way you use.

The US must be hellish. Sad. I taught for 32 years and loved it. All planned to dumb down society and control the masses...so obvious. Ai replacement is on the horizon.

Try being a school district business manager for decades. 100 hour work weeks are not uncommon at all. I have calculated work weeks several times over the years. One was 107.5 another was 108 hours worked under extreme high stress, much more than being a classroom teacher. I had three phone lines, two secretaries managing my many appointments and tasks. One time, when I looked out the office windows, I had 17 people waiting for me, architects, lawyers, parents, a principal, maintenance worker and supervisor, and a general construction superintendent.

My ex-wife was an educator in the public school system. She worked so hard on her own personal time doing lesson plans and grading papers and so many things. She went to school sports games and plays to support her students. The job grinded on her and I don't think she realized what it was doing to her. During the summer vacation, she was happy and light and fun. During the school year, she was grumpy all the time and bitter dark. Now, from these videos and by talking with teachers, I am starting to see how her teaching work affected her mood and lifestyle.

But yes the parents need to step up and control their children. I 1,000% agree with all of you on that. And I am sorry for the deplorable behavior of the children nowadays. And everything I say I say with the statement of I will control my child's behavior. I'm sorry for everything that you've gone through from bad behaved children. But your real problem is the system. Yes the parents need to be better parents

Why Teachers Quitting: *kids treat them like shit *(single mom angry at father, hence she alienates kids from said father out of spite.) parents treat them like shit Need I say more? Apparently no sane person watched There's a Man in The Woods by Jacob Streilein

So essentially these women pick the job that they are not qualified for and or capable of doing continuously. Yes this is a high-stress job. Are you a high stress person. I'm a person that my job efficiency what is rated by the amount of lives that were saved and protected. You don't know stress. Change the system. The system is the problem.

I’m 16, autistic and have a lot of mental health issues, and I really hope I’m not doing this to anyone. I know I’m not good at math, and I break down crying because the teacher is so nice and I feel like if I can’t do the bare minimum I don’t have any future and I’m a drain on everyone else. I hope if I can’t be a good student, I can at least be a nice kid. With anything English and art related, it clicks and I get legitimately excited to be there I really hope that compensates??

The job is impossible. Poverty is the root of the problem. The kids have to survive in the world they are born in. They are a reflection of their dangerous , violent, and traumatic lives. It's not their fault....and it's not the teachers' fault. I tried for 3 years. It's OK for something to be difficult. It's not ok to waste your life on the impossible.

There you have it.
