Thank you for being a positive voice in teaching!

PSA: These workouts are NEVER cute! Be forewarned, and I apologize in advance. But the feeling you’ll get from PUSHING yourself to do your exercise first thing in the morning makes you feel like you can conquer anything. Good luck and positive vibes on your fitness journey, teacher friend!

This is a great video ! I have a new girls basketball team in the inner city NYC with half the players not committed that don’t like each other.

Ive felt almost a divine call, and a passion to be a history teacher, but all the negative content out there has left me discouraged, this video is exactly what i needed to see and hear. Im 18, I shouldn't let others discourage,me from my passions, if i want to build a brighter future, i need to contribute to that myself before i complain about it. I would love if you can to have a conversation about your teaching journey, and generally stuff i genuinely need to know, not the doom and gloom, or the shining heroics.

Giiiirrrllll, preach it! I'm so tired of hearing a teacher say they bought stuff. I'm a para and so many times I see or hear parents being horrid too their teachers and staff

Hi, I love this. Do you have any further sources I can read to look into this subject?

I subbed middle school at my sons school. I made up my mind the 1st day. I dont want to teach them. Their confused😂. In alternate route teachers program. Help me Lord. Im trying to wrave it out. Im leaning doward upper primary.

Definitely agree with nearly every pro and con. Was wondering what the best thing about the monotony of every day is. Not the highlights or lowlights. What's that something that drives you to teach?

People who decorate early for holidays are the reason they start selling Halloween candy in July and candy canes in September. Insanity

It would be lovely if the schools were doing ANY of this. They're not. They gave them all computer's and went "paperless", so its the same thing as always with less personal attention and everything takes twice as long to complete. If a child is looking for human interaction, they e-mail their teacher. They (the teachers) don't make time for kinesthetic learning or outdoor activities. Actually, her bio teacher assigned a project to create a cartoon. My daughter liked that, stayed up half the night doing it, her teacher was shocked and amazed how good it was but still had to deduct points for it being late. School is a mill. It breaks kids spirits, and spits out soulless worker bees. I hope school can change, so far it hasn't, but it will when the teachers and administrators get it figured out that these kids aren't going to meet the expectations that they have. They are simply unwilling.

Well Nena, Yes I actually agree that he needs to find other ways to cope with His Anger that does not include beating people down because now he has just voided himself from getting whatever his assignments are done, making the grade if you will and graduating out of high school, not including high school jr. and sr. proms whereas he could have had a napping spell, talked out in class, dropped the teacher's name and whatever response(s) he would have gotten he still would have never denied himself doing his lessons and finishing out of high school graduating. However, I also say that he was not just coming to school wanting to beat somebody down, injure somebody or murder somebody and this is why I say that just because the rules say that a teacher can take something from a child that even belongs to the child that never included that it is the safest and best choice to deal with off task student behavior even if it involves using something like a Nintendo Switch. Also, to those who feel like Brendan should have gotten more time ..... You need to be thanking God that Brendan got 5 Years instead of 5 Months. This is Brendan Dopa that we are talking about, not Nikolas Cruz. - Dwight

In a "cubicle job," if a coworker assaults you, you can take legal action against the individual, and against the company if relevant . . . In a school environment, does a teacher have the "same rights" as a cubicle worker? Can you sue the student? the parents? the school district? . . . Moreover, does the school administration's actions, following a teacher assault, acknowledge the harm to the teacher? For example, I know a teacher who was physically assaulted, bleeding, and the Principal asked her to come to the office so the student could apologize. The Principal was hesitant when the teacher asked the Principal to call the Police so that she could file a police report.

AWESOME advice. I'm a career switcher from 20 years in the medical field. This is way diff for me, but I'm up to the challenge. Hi from Richmond VA ❤

Great video, you seem like an awesome educator! Do you ask for the phones on day one, or do you tell them the policy and start on day 2. I feel like on day 1 say all the expectations, and explain them, then the next class we start. ??

It's never really the students, with a few exceptions. But when I teach at the dual credit institutions, some good and some bad, I could tell when the college guidance counselor responsible for coordinating dual credit was undermining my instruction and the students' attendance. The class is a college class. Students must be in class, but I think she would push this idea that students can miss in connection to the attendance policy of the school. That makes instruction difficult because I am only there for two days of the week. If students do not pass my college course, then it will affect their own graduation. Right now, I'm taking a healing break, teaching online for now. Great video.

Well Nena, Unfortunately, there comes moments when push back is what's called for. If the adults who tie you down are pests or if the parents push their kids upon you just to run their kids out of the house without giving you any support then they need to be called out on it and maybe teachers stepping down and homeschooling rising up maybe what needs to happen for parents to get it or even get into the educational processes of their child or children. - Dwight

How was your school year?

That’s what my cooperating teacher used to do during lunch. I am struggling to get a job in education any advice? I apply and get no calls back. I had one interview and it went very well, the principal gave me a call back and said the only reason he chose someone else was because they had 8 years of experience vs me only having ST.

Lets collaborate. I was the top successful teacher in my district then realized they were afraid because they May lose their money when they are successful. So I wanted to be apart of it but then they rejected me

You took the whole words out of of my mouth😊

Hello Nina .. My name is Sara.. I just discovered your channel and I love it! I was wondering you would be interested in hearing about my favorite high school English teacher. She had a huge impact on my life! Let me know if you want to talk .

We used to laugh about how admin would insist it should make no difference to us, in terms of discipline, whether you had upper level Calculus or freshman Algebra. This is what they WANTED to believe, that simply by following certain rules and strategies, the kids in those freshman classes, many in gangs, many on drugs, would be no more difficult than the honors students in AP Calc. Their disconnect from reality added to the stress of the already stressed out freshman teachers, some of whom quit before finishing their first year.

So it's an issue when the kids hit you, but when they repeatedly hit the much weaker, disabled students, somehow you never noticed. And the rest of us are expected to play along with this self-serving narrative for some reason.

Sure is easier to second guess teacher's actions when you yourself are not dealing with the emotions which result when kids are treating you as if you're a bum off the street, when kids are shouting at you, or mocking you just for the fun of it. As a teacher for 27 years I pushed those emotions down and was left with a case a real anxiety disorder I still deal with to this day, many years after retiring.

Start asking WHY? I blame the Elected and Hollywood. This Started in the 70's and is still happening and getting worse. America is a multi-culture Country (the melting-Pot) but Hollywood, Government elected DONT want us United but Divided. A Nation Divided Falls!

Kill the music up the mic

You're good

I hope more people view this video. It should be pushing at 100K views in my opinion! You are sharing eternal principles of growth. We need all teachers AND students to understand the law of the harvest. I love that you share these truths. When we embrace patience, long-suffering, love, etc. we are finding true lasting joy. There is no other way. We taste bitter to know the sweet. Thank you again for sharing these principles, the world needs to see these truths. Teachers need to know them and take heart, they can pass them on to their students and generations to come. It is the plan of happiness to grow through struggle. It was literally planned this way. :)

I'm the author of EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL and I don't hear anyone talking about the out of control OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING for k-12 teachers that's why we have teacher shortages

DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!! Allocate all those resources towards hyper-automation, machine labor, and artificial intelligence. This generation of children absolutely CANNOT be trusted as a future stable, viable workforce. It has come to the point where I and countless others now heavily prefer an A.I driven automated workforce of stable, reliable, fully functional next-generation ground worker drones in addition to fully mechanized facilities as opposed to legions of incompetent, uneducated, untrainable legions of failures now coming from public schools. Otherwise... We as a society will fall behind and experience a prolonged dark age.

Lots of words nothing really said. Exactly what’s wrong with education.

Your Content Is good

Hi Nena, Your Video is Awesome

I worked at a clinic. I was surprised at the number of educators that came in injured, and many with no repercussions to the instigator children. There was even stalking. Crazy.

Hi Nina, everyday I watch your videos. I promised that if I'm staying in this teaching instructor career, I'll be watching teacher videos daily. I'll be getting Harry Wong book and Teach your Class off by Ryan. Let me know if any book to read. I want to be the cool teacher though.

In my 3 years as a teaching assistant, ive been strangled, bitten, scratched, spat at, punched in the face, punched in the stomach and threats of being murdered all from primary school students (ages 3-10), where does it all end?? I cant believe that this is what working in education is nowadays

Thanks

Thank you so much.

Oh boy, this video is for me.. I love my high risk students I love my high risk students. So hardddd I have to grow. It's my 6 months with no teaching experience. All KZbin tips that's helping me and I'll be taking some Udemy classes on presentation and how to this how to thats( classroom management).

"Every action is either an expression of love or a cry for love." What are they missing? What is hurting? Check the emotions - sad, mad, glad, hurt, scared. The old story says, we carry two buckets at all time. One is water, the other is gasoline. Which one do you need in this situation? Whatever you feed will grow.

A lot of good stuff but the nugget of best WISDOM for me was to SHARE YOUR PEACE with that student. Awesome. New Subscriber for sure.

Well Nena, I've got news for them because chances are that they are not helping their kid either and they expect everything to be put on the school system that their kid is in. There are parents out there who just love to plain and simply use school as a platform to run their kid(s) out of the house to just because they get that moment in the house alone before they head off to work or that sick day or vacation day at home alone in silence. They butter their kids up trying to get their kids excited about school as they themselves are to run the kids out the door and away from what they enjoy at home and this is why some of the students need their comfort device with them to help them transition between home and school everyday because their parents are using you all the school system to again shut them out from what they love to do everyday and the teachers need to call on the parents to get involved with the education of the kids and stop just letting parents use school as a dumpster ground to dump their kids into. There needs to also be a repeal of truancy laws and replace them with laws that make parents responsible for their kids actions at school moreover. They are ruining it for everyone else who is doing the right thing and the parents who are participating in their kids' education. As a former autistic school student, I would have never made it had My Parents not been involved in my education. I hope that this gives you some insight and agreement that you the teacher(s) cannot do this alone. - Dwight

Subbed. ❤❤❤❤❤. You're cool.

I'm only at 3:14 and I completely disagree with your first point: not to listen to other teachers about problem students. This is only my third day substitute teaching, and there was a kid who was a problem right when he walked through the door. He even said, himself, "You're gonna have to call security." AND I STILL GAVE HIM THE UPPER HAND! I thought he was joking, but then he continually HURT other students, in between "pretending to behave," which I fell for BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS KID, until I finally did call security. That kid did NOT deserve a "clean slate." He came into my next period, which he isn't even in, and I immediately called security.

learning to follow rules is the most important success tool there is. are these students going to be janitors or higher up than that.
