[@Defender78]

Is this teacher burnout due to Rowdy kids taking place in just the US, or is it happening all over the world?

[@P.Rack25]

I am living this right now. I'm at home on "sick" time right now because I was legitimately threatened at school. The student was suspended and it went to a superintendent hearing. I testified at the hearing. The student was found guilty by the board but then the findings were cleared because he has an IEP. During his testimony he legit admitted that the threat was real and that he'd do it again. Now he is back in my classroom and I am burning up sick time until I get fired I guess. I don't know what to do. If I go back to the classroom, he can attack me and then claim that I provoked him and then I can be sued civilly and possibly charged legally. I'm not willing to take that chance.

[@etacude]

I'm so sorry you're going through this-no one should feel unsafe in their workplace, especially in education. It sounds like an incredibly difficult situation, and I hope you're able to get the support and protection you need. Your health and safety should always come first.

[@comentadoraification]

Can you change school without quitting teaching ? Or only change class and students ?

This is why CCTV cameras in classrooms are incredibly important. To protect YOU. Not only the students.

[@P.Rack25]

UPDATE: First off, I just want to thank you all for your support. It will be easier to provide an update rather than respond to each individually. At this point I have met with my union rep again. We are proceeding with filing a "Discrimination and Harassment" form with HR. I will be pressing charges. The union intends to grieve this student's placement back in my classroom after the incident. As to what will come of this, I do not know. I wanted to provide you all with an update. My hope is that we can keep this from continuing to happen to us. I do want to emphasize that the only reason this is happening is because I documented EVERYTHING very thoroughly. I know after a long day, it's easy to blow off something as simple as a student texting in class, but you have to build your case. Also, I learned that you CAN use the student's testimony (at least in NY) from the superintendent hearing as evidence against the student. This is how I am able to file charges. While there was a legit threat made during the incident, the student was kind enough to elaborate on his behavior and anger issues during the hearing. Now I can use that to substantiate my fear for my personal safety. One more thing. Since this student returned to my classroom, I refused to be in there with him. I have used a plethora of personal time. When this is all over, I intend on approaching the union to fight for me to get that time back as well. Once again, thank you to everyone for your support. I hope this experience will help others. I will continue to keep you all updated.

High school theatre teacher here. Spend 60-80 hours a week at school for grading, prep, and of course productions. I have been a full time teacher for 12 years and 3 years as a FULL TIME sub. I am getting out this year. My mood is awful all the time. I am exhausted and have no joy in my life. The students, especially last year, were HORRIBLE and I almost walked out at Christmas. Finished the year looking for other work, nothing. I don't know what I am going do and that scares me. If I can't have a job I will be forced to stay. The pay stinks, obviously, and I have a lot of education and I came into education late. I'm just afraid that other jobs won't want to hire a former teacher. Parents aren't parenting. There are little to no consequences and the students know it and are playing the system. We went from being saviors during the pandemic to the enemy AGAIN!! I am so done with the education system. It isn't broken, it is shattered! Our children are angry, depressed and they do not know how to manage those emotions and they are taking out on teachers and other students. It's ridiculous.

[@jaminschmitt]

The ONLY strategy for teacher burnout is to fundamentally change the culture of education and the policies that allow students to control the classroom. It’s not your fault that you are burning out. Human beings are not designed to or built to handle what is essentially an uphill battle that has no peak. Teachers need to have absolute control of their classrooms, the ability to flunk students, the ability to remove disruptive students and an Admin that needs to be downsized. The only way for this to happen is have teachers leave in droves where it becomes unsustainable. Otherwise this educational approach will continue to limp on and bleed allowing more and more students to flounder.

[@TheDragonfriday]

Change education and policies is not enough the students themselves can become nasty I know because I experienced the worst classmates of 5 different classmates all of them is awful

In what other job would you be told this? I’ve left the classroom this year for tutoring and am much much happier.

[@fahs]

You ever walk around in a district office and wonder what all these people even do? They work fewer hours than you, make more money than you. They are supposed to "help students," but they define this as figuring out how teachers work more hours and do more paperwork. They will never work weekends. They will never work past defined working hours. They wont spend breaks catching up on planning and grading. Yet, they will expect you to do just that.

[@emmanuelgarcia619]

Yes. Ive even wondered this about the admin people within schools who have their own office but anytime I’d see them they weren’t ever really doing anything. I’d wonder what does that person actually do?? A lot of times when teachers realize this that’s when they get their admin credential to cross over to the cushy side.

Another thing that is a huge problem is the legal liability teachers face. These days, everything can be considered child abuse. Make a kid sit in the corner? Child abuse. Make a kid write sentences on the board? Child abuse. Raising your voice at a student? Child abuse. Physically restraining a student to prevent him from doing something destructive, dangerous, or injurious? Child abuse. Sending him to the office? Child abuse. Criticizing a student or his work? Child abuse. I love teaching children, but each day is a potential legal drama and every child is a potential lawsuit. Parents treat the teachers like cruel monsters for daring to "abuse" their precious little angel, even after there is ample evidence of the child's egregious misbehavior.

Interestingly, YT suggested this very video to me. I'm from Europe, I worked in a primary school for a year and I was completely burnt out.

I started to suffer from anxiety and was afraid to go near the school at all.

[@Andrea-zm1nl]

Good! I hope every teacher in America quits! I knew this was going to happen way back in the 90's when the no child left behind act was passed. That policy ruined teaching because it essentially said that a kid could literally sit in class every day and throw spit balls at the teacher, while doing zero class work or homework and they would still pass their grade. All of you teachers should have walked out on the profession back then, but that isn't what happened and now what we have is an entire school system that has been highjacked by the children. Good luck to all of you. And know that you are doing the right thing by walking out on this profession until or unless they give you all back the power and authority to hold these little tyrants accountable for their actions.

[@emmanuelgarcia619]

?? No child left behind was during bush jr. So in the 2000s, not 90s. And its main impact was it ushered in the era of everything revolving around standardized testing.

[@Andrea-zm1nl]

@@emmanuelgarcia619 I graduated in 1999... And it also forced teachers to give no grades below a D. This is when they stopped failing children and holding them back a grade or making them go to summer school and by the time my oldest child entered school in 2004, he very well could have just sat in class and refused to do anything or to do and turn in homework and he still would have passed with a D Average. It was at this point that teachers should have all just simply walked out and let the parents and administration figure out what to do with all of the nations children while their parents were at work. It was at that point that teachers rights and their authority over their classrooms were stripped away one by one until now what we have is a school system being run by children and teachers who don't want to work because they are being assaulted almost daily by the children themselves.

[@TotallyxKatiee]

I had teacher burnout after six months of student teaching. I felt that feeling of dread walking into the building and I had a panic attack once. I felt I was on flight or fight mode at all times. And honestly, it really wasn’t so much the kids because they were pretty good, mainly didn’t wanna do their work and I had only a few kids that caused chaos in the classroom, but they were good for the most part. I had the burnout and the feeling of being physically unwell because of the teacher I was placed with. She yelled at me daily and picked apart everything I did and would jump in daily instead of just letting me navigate student behaviors which I couldn’t do with her jumping in before I could. It was the hardest and worst six months of my life. The workload on top of the stress of trying to please someone who could not be pleased made me feel so unwell I cried everyday and dreaded going in everyday. I never got a job in the field, but I’m not necessarily writing it off completely. Idk, the workload is so hard to deal with for the low pay and if I had kids with behaviors explained in this video I would have probably quit while student teaching. I also prayed everyday the kids would just behave during class so I wouldn’t be blamed and yelled at when I was doing the best I could and I was a student teacher literally never done it before. When I asked for suggestions on classroom management all she would say is idk and suggested for me to try to build relationships with them. Honestly I was so turned off by teaching mainly by her I don’t wanna teach. I think I’d feel differently if I was placed with a kinder and more patient mentor, but not what I got.

In 2016 I decided to go back to school and do a teaching certificate. As soon as I thought that, I felt a strong sensation in my body. It was unsettling and I heard my inner voice say no. That was all just a no. My mind did not give me any explanation as to why I shouldn’t . I didn’t pursue teaching but went on to do masters of counselling instead. If your body reacts strongly to a thought, accept it as a sign and deviate to another path.

[@zsi]

My wife, a preschool teacher, spends about 4 hours a day with her students. Despite this, she’s constantly stressed. While most students are well-behaved, each year, a few demand 80% of her attention. Often, these children’s parents are uncooperative. When my wife raises behavioral concerns and asks for support, parents either deny the issues with "My child would NEVER do that," or insist, "You're the teacher; it's your job to teach them manners." Although she's responsible for teaching, parents spend far more time with their children and play a critical role in reinforcing positive behavior. Additionally, she spends about 10 unpaid hours weekly on tasks like preparing materials, writing report cards, purchasing supplies, and sending photos to parents. It is difficult to spend time with her sometimes as all she wants to do after work is vent, pass out, eat dinner, and then prepare for the next day.

After 20 years of teaching I decided not be a martyr or a victim and quit to enter the private sector. This video is spot on! I experienced the deterioration of my career plus mental health and inversely the increase of student apathy and degradation of student learning gains begin with the prolification of social media in 2012. It has been downhill ever since. It has caused more damage than second-hand smoking could ever have, and I believe social media is going to require a similar reckoning as the Tobacco Industry.

I was a high school teacher in Australia for 11 years. I resigned in 2004 and trained as a nurse. Although this decision left me financially worse off, in terms of my mental health it has been the best thing l ever did. The only thing l miss about teaching is the higher pay. I taught in 3 rural areas that were low socio-economic. Lots of students with unmotivated and lazy parents. Some of the worst kids were from farming families - those kids assumed they’d be taking over the family farm and didn’t need a school education. It was the zero support we got from many parents that baffled me. One example: at one school’s end of year speech & awards evening, the music teacher & her students played a couple of instrumental numbers. A third of the parents in the hall assumed it must be an intermission and they left their seats and wandered out to the hall foyer to smoke and chat. All while the school band was playing. Yeah.

[@pemd170671]

Some of the solutions mentioned here are easy said than done. In some school administration creates a toxic environment, imposing irrational rules and limiting the teacher's work. Colleagues are also part of that problem too. Sometimes, colleagues also participate in toxic working practices. And in Latin America, the situation gets worse. Lack of appropriate facilities, lack of funds, and lack of support from authorities makes the situation worse.

Without trying to mastermind the situation it simply needs to be pointed out that if all uneducable children at each level of K-12 schooling were diverted into alternative training outside the purview of the schools probably half of all school kids would have to be removed and hence half of the teachers would inevitably be laid off leaving a good deal more money to compensate the remaining teachers. Because it really is that bad, or what I call the over-schooling of imbeciles and the psychopathic. Because in a world where the average adult only has a sixth grade reading level that tells me that half of the population should’ve been flunked out after that grade at which they became permanently stagnated in favor of manual training, and not just some equally inane take on “schooling”, which overwhelmingly has proven useless ever since the Child Labor Act of 1938 began the eventual ruination of the entire educational system.

The last male speaker in the video uses buzz words, a complete mishmash of concepts identifying him as a consultant, the very worst form of educational life. My very first class, fifth grade, was a rude introduction to student issues. I was in a very small, southern and very rural school. I did a history quiz. Grades were not good. One little girl came up to my desk, tears streaming, "Mr. R. I cannot take this home. My daddy will beat me." The school was the center of the town. Education was considered imperative for those rural parents. Needless to say, the quizzes were all collected and destroyed. I also learned the other, not so nice, side of student behavior. No one every told me about those issues. I had to learn the hard way. Whatever you do, do not believe anything a consultant says. Find out for yourself.

Way too much "advice" that puts the burden on the teacher for addressing their burnout. Yes, teachers should do what they can because it is their life to live, but ultimately, this "advice" is the same thing that companies give to their employees where the company accepts no responsibility at all for systemic company-wide burnout.

I am a teacher in the U.K. A couple of years ago I was working at a school where the students were really « wild ». They seemed to have no boundaries. They stuck some wood into our classroom lock so that we would not be able to enter the classroom, then they said « f*** off » to the head of my department (they could say that even to the Headteacher or any other SLT member), who kindly let us use her classroom; they stole board clickers from me (since then I don’t use any), they rode in my chair, then threw my chair (with my coat still on it) down the stairs and then they spread rumours that they threw me down the stairs; one student launched a chair into another one because he « p***ed him off” (luckily, he missed); one student sprayed me with his deodorant, and another one logged me out of my computer using the interactive board so that I would not be able to call for help (very often the help did not come, anyway as there were quite a few urgent cases at the school at the same time). Every week there were some fighting incidents in class, and every week someone did something silly in class (such as unscrewing light switches from the walls or damaging the thermostat just outside the classroom. ) I should say, I tried to do everything properly (clear expectations, specific praise, giving them a sense of achievement, fun activities, etc.), however, in most cases it did not work. As a teacher, I felt inadequate and every day I made myself go to work saying that there are also good students who needed me (there were some really good memories, as well). Whenever I asked my Head of Department about her half-term break/holiday plans, she replied, ‘Sleep!’ That job was really exhausting. There was a huge staff turnover at that school, and last year the school was downgraded by Ofsted from “good” to “inadequate”. It is now under new management and the things are said to be improving, but I will never ever go there again .

It's tough when the environment is draining and you feel unsupported. I completely understand why you wouldn't want to go back. Taking care of yourself is so important in such a demanding job!

The vast majority of teacher's problems wouldn't exist if schooling wasn't mandatory.

Hello Please I'm a new teacher and I don't know how can I write a yearly plan if it's possible please please do a video about the yearly plan ❤

Wow that part about thinking about the students outside of school..... I haven't done that at all. Am I not normal? Or because my own kids are in two grades I teach.

It’s the same in the UK. This is a result of global leadership programmes. Fast tracked empty headed ‘leaders’ who do the least amount of actual ‘labour’ come up with more and more ludicrous policies that promote a divided and dishonest society. It’s the equivalent of governments being amazed at a baby”s ability to swim in shallow water, how amazing, the baby is actually swimming in water that is deep for them, so let’s fast track the amazing baby and promote them to head of the Olympic swimming team. Global leadership programmes are promoting hitler like obedience of workers, mass controlling freedom of speech. They have imported large enough groups of hate filled people from regimes we used to feel sorry for the way the leaders treated their people. Very few in the west realise it starts with control of the funding and law making. Western leaders are now easily bought and they hide massive changes to laws of freedom we take for granted behind reasons of ‘child safety’ and ‘multiculturalism’. In some places women are forced to wear face coverings. They are not given a choice by the religious officers of state. The reason….’to keep them safe’….most of them ‘like it’ and anyone who doesn’t is literally killed, stoned to death or placed in mental institutions ‘for their own good. We now have many officers of state directing the public on what to do, how to do it and when to do it or else……. Read the government policies coming out to control our behaviour. Under the pretext of keeping ‘children safe’ or ‘net zero’ or ‘diversity’. And we the people are sleeping through these sweeping changes to laws that will put us on ‘equal’ status to regimes that treat their people abominably in the name of religion.

Вы взрослые люди. У вас есть огромный профсоюз учителей и вы не можете протащить закон который защитит вас и усмирит неадекватных детей? Я вам всем удивляюсь. Целая страна не может найти управу на неуправляемых детей. Это смешно. Школа должна иметь право отказать в обучении неадекватным детям. Пускай учатся в специализированых школах либо учатся в онлайн школе. Но я не верю что вы что-то измените. Вы до такого состояния маразма дошли что в это сложно поверить. И это еще раз меня убеждает что будущее за онлайн-школами. За домашним обучением. И учителя в таких школах не будут страдать от неадекватов-детей. Обычные школы пора закрывать.
