Teachers aren't free babysitters and parents need to be actual parents

[@cyberdragoon1432]

Agreed, as much as teachers impart knowledge onto the younger generation, that doesn’t really help if said students aren’t willing to show the respect, let alone be a functioning human being instead of a screen zombie that just sits there and not engaging with what is being taught. Nor is it the teachers’ responsibility to teach proper adequate and other basic foundations that should have already been established during a child’s development at home.

funny i had a parent literally call us childcare providers and we said mam we are first and foremost EDUCATORS

[@amandab8433]

My brother and his wife have been teachers, elementary, for over 25 years. Both quit last year because they got sick of the disrespect, and verbal and physical abuse by the students, and their parents. These were kids in a "Good" middle to upper class school district. My brother taught high school in LA for ten years, and he said that those students had nothing on this new generation. Mind you back then he had guns pulled on him several times.

[@springtrap_66pg66]

it would also help if our schools weren't pushing ideological programing into our kids faces then MAYBE the babies would be interested in LEARNING. DEI needs to GO

[@MarkFin9423]

if teachers don't want to be baby sitters, they need to quit these schools. These schools do not want to teach, they just want a daycare. These educators should be teaching and advocating for tradeschool to replace these institution who no longer serve a purpose of giving knowledge. That and tradeschools are better suited for preparing students for the real world.

[@crescentmoon2374]

Many parents don’t want to be parents and would rather have their kids be on their iPad and phones. They don’t want to teach their kids but allow social media influence them.

[@JennyKlindt]

I agree. But also the norms formed by social media and being perfect, looking perfect, be "successful" makes a whole lot of selfcentred people...in this case the parents. We need to stop or heavily reduce the use of ipads, social media plattforms etc because it is going to ruin us. There have been studies shown that all this use has decreased skills such as empathy, conflict resolution, communication, bonding and also patience in us as people. So in other words one will grow up to be narcissistic, lonely and aggressive without the ability to communicate properly. Great!

[@nekomancer09]

yeah but also most of this problem is from lower class students whose parents have to work more than before because of price increases etc. the rich families who can have private tutoring and education aren't dealing with this issue to a great extent from what i've seen. their kids know discipline. pretty sure if the parents weren't overworked, more of them would be willing to support their kids' learning

[@PrinzessKennY]

I think the pandemic and at-home learning really emphasized the failure on the parents part because the kids couldn't be as easily held accountable for not doing their homework the next day like in person and parents would usually not set up the laptop in a structured/distraction free place. Parents also wouldn't support or help their kids with problems or make sure they understood what was being taught. They were super hands-off and children need structure to thrive, structure which both the pandemic and their parents fail to give them.

[@whoathatsanicememe3093]

I have had conversations every year with my children's schools that I do NOT want my children pushed through. Real life doesn't work that way. If my children aren't learning the material or doing the work well, maybe they'll catch on the second time around. I also refuse to let them do summer school. I'm fairly easy going as a mom. I know everyone needs mental health days and my children are free to come to me and say i just can't do it today...I have those days too...but I also tell them that they may be surprised by how resilient they are when they push through difficult times and come out the other side. I definitely think c19 had a very detrimental effect on school age kids. I also see that things like TikTok (not allowed in my house) are playing a huge part in why kids just aren't living up to their potential. If you want to see the results of how this plays out in real life just watch any of the bodycam videos available from cops for people in this age range. Crazy stuff.

[@leeluvslife]

Some kids really benefit from being a year or two older.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

Letting kids fail upwards just makes it impossible for them to ever catch up. Every year they fall further and further behind, as they don't have the prerequisite knowledge and skills to understand what is being taught. It's not surprising that kids in that situation act out. It would be less frustrating and humiliating for them in the long run to repeat a grade early on.

[@Volundur9567]

​@@planetschlocksome kids were held back not because they were bad. I remember a kid who had hearing issues being held back a year.

[@gabiayala2495]

A lot of these kids completely lack empathy. I mean, messing with teachers is something kids have done to some extent in all generations, but to have a grown adult in front of you literally crying & an entire classroom is either laughing or just totally complicit is outrageous.

[@tryphenarose384]

My kids are 2 and 1. I notice the behavioral difference in other children just when we take them to the park to play. We plan on homeschooling and so far, my kids are very friendly, compared to the other children who hardly want to socialize at all. Every time my son sees a younger child he always wants to say hello and be friendly towards them. I often find other kids are rude or are detached and don't want to play with kids they don't know. I want my kids to grow up having friends, but how hard will it be, if their generation is this way? I remember how easy it was to make friends at a park even just for the day when I was a kid (I'm 28). Although my generation was one of the last to play outside regularly and have very frequent interactions with the neighborhood kids. Times are just different.

Assuming, when you say your son, you're talking about your 2-year-old, it would be perfectly normal for a younger child to not know how to interact with him. I'd have to see what you're seeing exactly to know the degree to which it's abnormal, but as a mother of two very young children yourself, I can imagine you're fully aware of all this and so I'd love to see what you're seeing because more people should know the early warning signs of this so they can head it off at the pass.

Can't tell you how many times we've had to clear the class out of the room because a child was knocking over bookcases or literally beating other children with chairs. The parents always blamed it on us... but then admitted later that they have a padded room at home for this very reason. A. Padded. Room. For tantrums. Let that sink in. It's so messed up, I can't even fathom it. Instead of actually guiding their child through their emotions or god forbid some sort of discipline, they just put him in a room that they had designated was safe enough for him to destroy. Absolutely mind-blowing.

Mainstreaming highly dysfunctional kids has been a failure. They need to bring back special ed, remedial and behavioural streams, so the majority don't have their educations ruined, and stop letting failing students fail upwards, where they'll have even less chance of catching up. They also need to stop leaning on restorative justice so much as a substitute for discipline. It's only appropriate for mild to moderate misbehaviour, and first offenders. School administrators and governing bodies need to stop cowing to and placating nasty parents and start supporting their teachers.

My hope for gen alpha happend earlier this spring when my freinds and i were hanging out for our school's senior skip day... We were off for the day and we didnt have anything better to do without school so we all went down to the neighborhood park and there was like this little mini baseball field that we were hitting whiffle balls at. eventually it got to be about 3pm and the elementary school buses were dropping kids off and this group of 9 year olds were walking towards us as we were on the field. Meanwhile we were really suspicious of them because we've seen what ipad kids are like (who hasnt). Eventually they approached us and they were all like 'we saw you playing baseball and we were wondering if its ok if we join?' and they were all super respectful towards us even though we werent even adult, And we kind of looked at eachother before just being like 'why not' and let them join us. After introducing themselves we decided to hype it up and treat it like an mlb draft and we would pick teams and hype up the kids too and they were all absolutely loving it. When we actually started playing all of them were super nice and nobody was trash talking or spewing brainrot like you see some kids do whenever they are without a phone. They just acted like kids and they reminded me if when i was younger and id go play with my neighbors and we just saw video games as like another toy and not the only thing in our life that entertained us. After awhile we even managed to pick up more kids that were shut in their houses out and we had a group of like 35 kids all outside playing and you wouldve thought that we were the coolest kids in the whole city with the way everyone was with us. We even had some parents that were talking with us eventually and mentioning that its rare to see their kids visit the playground like this and that they were glad the kids were playing outside today. I should probably also mention that it wasnt like this was a day with perfectly weather where the parents were forcing their kids to be outside this was literally on a overcast monday where the temperature kept flip flopping between like 60 and 80 in a matter of hours with heavy rain in-between but nobody really cared and afterwards my freinds and i were talking about how we probably just made a core memory about the time the big kids let them play.

This is actually scary

[@bigbrain2796]

I worked at a camp for children under 8th grade and I was bullied by the campers, shoved against the wall because they were mad at the kids I was taking care of, fights broke out and my own co-worker talked badly about me behind my back. I did my best, I tried to cater to the children’s needs, I cracked jokes out and did funny dances so they can smile and laugh. But they said I don’t deserve the money I’m paid. I was severely underpaid for that job. 8 hours a day for I think a large part of summer vacation. It was absolutely terrible I’m never working at a camp again. When I was a kid and went to a camp I loved my counselors and wanted to be like them, but that was ruined the moment I stepped in that camp. Most of the kids there were spoiled brats who bullied each other. Absolutely terrible.

[@MasonTheFurryCat]

As a 7th grader, if I ever see something like this happening to my teacher, I’d probably blame myself for not being brave enough to help.

I actually had a teacher walking out of our classroom in the middle of a test cuz a "popular" wanted more time for the test, but when my teacher declined, the popular gurl started whispering stuff about our teacher. And whats worse is when our teacher left, her and her friends started insulting the teacher. Me and my 3 friends were disgusted of our classmates. And whats worse is that the teacher is very close to that student

I made my global teacher in high school in 2004, uncomfortable but I apologized I was s class clown. I'm 36. Still grew up disciplined

[@randmgenericname5077]

​@@baddestjoanna-michellesmit5578 two different types of class clowns. I was a class clown. 2 years ago I was throwing chairs at the blackboard, spilling the entire antiseptic bottle in the classroom and telling the principal that she's high on coke and needs to stop using. My teachers never gave up on me because they knew I had it in me to be disciplined because I got that from years of being PARENTED, even though I acted like a menace due to random bursts of energy or puberty or whatever mental disorder I haven't yet been diagnosed with, and won't, because I don't care anymore I've learned to control it. I'm not saying that the teachers are at fault and that I had better teachers. What I'm saying is, a teacher that gives up on their students gives up on the future of humanity and that says a lot. It's completely understandable to be honest. I used to blame natural selection for the vast majority of overall relationship problems, now I'm rethinking because it's clearly flawed. It gave parenthood opportunity to a bunch of people who should've never been parents and it shows.

[@flowacere]

@@randmgenericname5077 I also understand where your stand is, but then Teachers Are Human. Theres Only so much Humiliation, Harassment and Tolerance towards students that they give you mental stress/emotional stress. Many Teachers if they can tolerant those behaviors and disrespect ,they have to go through therapy , they cant sleep at night. Shouldn't risk one's mental and body health for kids that May or May Not change for the Better. I know theres Also Teachers that Arent only working One job. My HS have 2 jobs, she goes to her second job After School's done. To need to care for kids emotional breakdown and mental health, it is A lot. Also I know Theres Teachers That Uses Their personal Money to Invest in their classroom, due to lack of Funding in School, Classrooms may not have Fans, Many kids are poor so teachers buy school supplies, lab equipments.. You dont know what that teacher who Quit was like, so to say they Give up on their students isn't Accurate , pretty injudicious to say. Teachers can be replaced, But No one's Health should be at risk.

[@MarrowOfTheBone]

You really can't blame those teachers for quitting, it's the kind of abuse that can break a person. I just hope those kids will quit as well because then at least there's hope that the rest of them who actually want to learn will have a chance to.

[@cheeseburger1293]

I’m gen Z, just graduated high school and going to college. Both my parents are teachers and I’m horrified of what they tell me about their students. My mom teaches elementary and has to constantly make sure her kids are staying focused and has to fight with parents on discipline for their children as the kids parents let them do whatever without consequences. My dad teaches middle school American history, and while having generally better students this year, still faces problems with discipline. They have flat out told me to not go into education, it’s not worth it

[@Markersgf]

I have noticed how poorly behaved my classmates are. they scream they yell, and they disrespect the teacher, then laugh. I miss out on a lot of things because the rest of my class. and the most normal other kid in my class is probably very glued to the screen and is still poorly behaved. I am one of the best if not the best student in my classroom. not once have I screamed, yelled , disrespected my teacher, and then laughed about it. it honestly terrifies me to think what the future might be like.

[@pink_alchemist]

keep being a good kid. you're not the only one and you'll get away from the bad ones eventually. they'll be in prison, homeless, working terrible jobs if they're lucky and you'll be doing something with your life. Education and respect are precious. As a millennial, we had disruptive jerks, too, that took from our education, too, but trust me, you're still going to do a million times better than the others.

[@bronyamorgan1368]

i experienced the same thing at school but im 27 now so that was a long while ago, sometimes people grow up in areas that make it very hard to be a good person but keep being good and setting a good example like @pink_alchemist said and try to see the positives of your education as much as you can and enjoy what you gain, those teachers must be thankful for you :)

I think you have forgotten another "Who's to blame". The Department of Education. They are not supporting the Educators. They are the ones who shut down the classrooms during COVID and kept them shut down longer than needed. They are also not supporting the Educators in the classroom during these occurrences in the classroom.

[@crystalnadeau254]

I'm 33 and my school was one of the last holdouts that still taught phonics and I excelled in reading and writing. They made a huge mistake by quitting phonics.

[@byeanca409]

Now that you said that, I'm wondering if this could be the reason foreigners are a bit better at writing or reading the words compared to natives. English is not my first language but I learned it with phonics and the examples that come to mind when it comes to basic mistakes an english speaker could make are the words: their, they're, there. Could the quitting of phonics be a reason?

[@dietotaku]

@@byeanca409 i don't know but i do know that i found japanese to be much easier to learn than the other romantic languages because the phonetics are so simple. spanish is complicated, french is like 80% vowels, german is all screaming and spitting, but japanese is neat and clean and repetitious. it's, what, 40-some consonant-vowel combinations and that's it? that's the entire phonetic catalogue.

[@i_am_a_toast_of_french]

@@dietotaku now give each word 7 different readings depending on context and it starts becoming a lot more complicated

Phonics aren’t the catch all for the visual learner. They need more than phonics and they need more than memorization. A lot of these kids struggle because phonics does fail them.

It horrifies me because I’m at high school and some girls in my class (as we had this teacher for drugs come through ) had to do this thing about drugs and we had to go into teams and these girls decide to choose their names as “skibidis.” And some kids ask if the teacher knows what that even means and she says she allows her sons to watch skibidi toilet. You’re meant to teach about drugs and at this point it’s a form of drugs for little kids, realize that not all drugs are physical. It’s your job.
