As a sort of teacher (kinda) for autistic kids, the line "you are on drugs and spectrums that did not even exist in 2006" is such a raw line and I love it.

Pretty sure they meant gender identity and sexual preference spectrums (as seen with Kenan getting pieced up by two non-binary asexual 12-year-olds, which how would that work?), but I guess it can also apply to the autism spectrum.

Special Ed teacher here!! This was shared in my 20-person coworker text group, and we collectively agree this is painfully accurate. The public, and more importantly the parents, need to know how accurate this is. If you think it can’t possibly be true, either you don’t work with children, or this is your child and not only did you ignore all our phone calls home, but when we do get you on the phone you say, “And if them TEACHERS say something smart to MY child they can expect something smart back”. You’re right boo, it’s me not them 😂

This was one of the best skits. As a teacher, they did not lie especially with Kahoot. I spent more time deleting crazy names they came up with on Kahoot than doing the activity. I got injured and everything. They won.

[@jacquelinemcgee9949]

I make them use real names or I boot them out. One kid thought he was so smart; he had a second page open and snuck in an inappropriate name. I ended the whole game and the podium kids almost beat him down.

[@jo-annbelanger4579]

This is one of the many reason I switched to Gimkit! Uses their actual name - but gives me the option to edit in their preferred name on day 1 when I set up the class, but it also lets me have random cute nicknames - like purple elephant, for them to pick, or lets them put in their nickname for the game. I’ll never go back to Kahoot.

Thanks for your efforts. The struggle is real and I appreciate you.

These "Decades" of kids is something that's incomprehensible; and, most times, it's not bc of the Parent[s].... It's the drugs out there that resemble candy; the Rap music that is STILL negatively influencing our kids once they leave the home; it's the added vaccinations these kids receive, ie, they recv more vaccines than we did in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, how corporate America is keeping parents working overtime, stealing Family Time with their kids; Gangs, accessible to weapons, etc , I can go on..... So, don't blame Parents all the time! These kids are cussing out the Parents, now. You ask, why? Read this message, again......May Thy Heavenly Father Bless us, all!✝️🙏🏻👼🏼

No. It’s sometimes the kids. Their parents try. At least at my school. They just have no clue how to deal with their kids because they don’t understand them. It’s a totally different culture from what they grew up with in Central America and they are lost. The parents at my school don’t argue with us. They usually ask us for help.

[@UNLebanon]

@@parryyotter I suppose that would be a different situation if you have a lot of immigrant families.

You won students because the adults in charge are failing you.

That’s so sad to hear

[@ClifftonCrowder-yt2gt]

I love the quality in humans that says I want to help shape and cultivate young minds but knowing what parenting and children have become...WHY???😂😂😂

I was 30, went back to my old school with the idea of , I dunno getting a sense of teaching, and noped the hell out. A whole classroom of kids with like $100,000 in computer equipment did absolutely nothing for 3 hours.

I made it 2.5 months as a 6-8 teacher. They won.

Middle school is so hard! If I'd had any other option, I would have quit at the winter break. I have two weeks left and I will not be returning to my current school for the coming year. They won

This is my life. Our substitute attendance clerk has a sub now and when I told an angry parent that she said “I don’t believe you.” A girl gleefully videoed a fight so got her phone confiscated and the parents are mad at the school. A girl called her own Mom a b!t€h in the office because the Mom came to get her phone the daughter took. The Mom did nothing. Middle School is not for the weak and I’m so done this year. Y’all won!

I taught high school 2008-11 (laid off) and have been teaching at a community college for ten years now. High school students are a big part of our enrollment but I still feel like kids are kids. The tech and culture changes but you chip away a few layers and they're still a lot like the kids I taught in my early 20s. Respect to all my colleagues across the country. Underfunded, underappreciated, and unsung.

As a first-year high school teacher, I feel this on a spiritual level. 😅

[@spiritualhumanist]

Just don’t forget that behind every kid is a parent with similar attitude.

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

I disagree. Only bc I know firsthand now. I will say though most of the time yes but not always. I have 2 children who couldn't be more different. 1st child mellow and kind. 2nd handful and a half. However, covid hit when they were 5. So....

[@rachelrobinson3746]

As a teacher, I say yes. Summer can't come soon enough. One kid told me that she thinks I have autism because I seem sound sensitive at the end of the day. 😂

I was told the same thing by a student on the spectrum.

I work in a school with sixth graders. This must have been written by a teacher. Dead on. It's the constantly changing TikTok slang for me. Skibidi Toilet? I don't know how these kids are all watching the same TikToks since there are millions and millions.

[@p_kix]

It was the three S's in middle school this year - "skibidi toilet", "what the sigma?", and singing "you are my sunshine".

[@davidwaters8902]

@@p_kix I still don't know if Sigma is good or bad

[@jacquelinemcgee9949]

They have to watch the same ones, or they get mocked or shamed for not being cool enough to know which ones are viral. They're all a bunch of Disney lemmings.

[@Haxx752]

As a 6th grader myself, I don’t think that stuff is funny but a lot of kids in my school are like “ahahahahaha skibidi gyatt” like wtf

Parents of Gen Alpha need to do something about this. These are the same ipad babies that raid Sephoras. These are the same students over relying on AI for their homework. These are the frauds that prefer to cheat instead of learn because they prefer the easy way out. I'm a new Gen Z parent of a newborn and I'm already shocked by how my baby fresh out of the womb seems hypnotized by my phone sometimes. I'm def limiting screen time. I'm raising my kid. I'm not letting the screen do my job as a mother. If you're raising a spoiled brat... please. DO BETTER. The loud obnoxious kids are ruining it for the well behaved ones. When children don't learn that there are consequences for misbehaving, then we are contributing to raising a brand new generation of future criminals. If we don't take care of our children responsibly, then the law will discipline them when they're adults. Our children deserve better parenting. We owe it to them and mankind basically... duh.

Teaching has to be the easiest thing to do on earth.... you get 3 months, no kids. You get multiple holidays, no kids. You basically give them a book and explain it to them. And everyone thinks you are underpaid and underappreciated. Not me!! I think teachers have everyone fooled

​@@tyinva1212 Even in the late 90's when I was in high school I saw how no matter how much time off teachers got, even with pay, I wouldn't want to be one. I had seen one of my teachers have to go to the hospital after getting their spine hurt all from a small "joke" that one of the students played on her by pulling her chair out from under her, for "fun". I saw one of my more elderly teachers start to cry from getting overly exhausted and fed up with the kids in one of my classes, and she finally just had to leave the class for a while. Another one had to locate a whole class of students that decided it would be fun to leave the class room for the heck of it, just because the teacher had to go to the bathroom. Equipment and supplies got broken or stolen, and nothing got updated the way it needed to for everyone, with kids having to share things in groups sometimes to learn from something. I could only imagine with everyone having access to their phones and things like it's nothing now at days, how difficult teaching would be. I could only imagine some sort of computer devices being installed in people's homes, if not in class rooms in the near future to teach kids, because finding people to teach them will be impossible to fill out..
