My middle school had this thing called mini course which was pretty much an extra but early, fun class that you could have, and it would change every 9 weeks. One of my mini course teachers in 6th grade was just straight up rude. I can’t quite put my finger on what made me hate him so much but what I do remember, is that he was always super nice to his actual students for that year but not to us. One day, he gave us an assignment to GIVE HIM PICTURES OF OUR FAMILIES AND OUR HOUSE. Because of how rude he was, he pushed us to do the assignment and said it was “expressing yourself”. For the rest of middle school I would get terrified every time I saw him. I’ve never told any of my family about him. Edit: I didn’t realize how many people would see and take their time out of their day just to read my story, even if it’s just a dozen people. Thank you for reading my comment😊

[@skybreak07]

I work in Special Education. So, some clarification with some of the integrating students into gen-ed classes: for students in Special Education, it is legally required. In addition, it was determined that all students have the right to grade level content. So, if a student is a freshman, they should be getting all of the classes a regular high school freshman in that state would. You cannot change the curriculum to fit that student's level. Students get something called a "least restrictive environment" and the majority of students are in general education classes most if not all of the day. There are programs in different schools that can have different curriculums, but it's strict. I've been in schools where a student has to have an IQ of less that 55 to qualify. Also to consider: sometimes students have incredibly low academic abilities due to their disabilities, however have really high social skills and would struggle hard in restrictive classes. There usually are supports inside the classroom for students in gen-ed classes, such as classes with a special education teacher inside, and the students get accommodations that are legally binding and will absolutely get a teacher sued over if they are ignored. Another thing to throw out: students with disabilities also have punishments such as expulsions or out of school suspensions erased if it is determined that their behaviors are due to their disability.

Teaching should be one of the most respected, treasured careers to be. We trust them our OWN CHILDREN, so they can become productive members of society and have a higher quality of life. Instead, teachers suffer, are abused, bullied and ridiculed by the parents, students and of course and as always, their system. Anyone who says otherwise is a deluded fool. What an awful, awful society we live in.

Last year my youngest was in Headstart and I would volunteer once a week. I personally loved it, the kids loved having me there also. Thankfully it was a nicely funded program so the teachers were given everything needed for the classroom. I love in MN and in the winter it gets pretty cold with lots of snow yet kids still need fresh air and room to run off excess energy. So many kids would be without gloves/mittens, hats or even snow pants. Every recess kids would run up to me to help warm up their tiny little hands. There were constant notes being sent home about making sure your kids had proper outdoor clothing but it's like so many parents just didn't care and I could tell how hard it was on the teachers. I even sent extra snow gear to the school, it would be sent home with the kids and just never come back. I myself would love to be a teacher but I don't want to deal with the parents.

the moment I walked into their classroom. terrible joke aside, I had this teacher in the 5th grade who screamed so loud, the entire floor heard it. it was a daily thing; dude had horrible anger issues. the tipping point was when this kid Tyler, a reoccurring troublemaker, alongside others in our group. Yeah, I caused trouble, but I was an Inconvenience, and so was many others in the think we’re cool club, but Tyler needed some kind of help. he’d hit people because he could and thought it was funny. he’s fought people in our group of wannabe tough kids for no reason, and then act like nothing happened the next day. steal food, break shit, vandalize, actively railroaded lessons, and so much more. well one day tyler interrupted our teacher, making a remark about his bald head. our teacher whipped around so damn quick and just started going off. I wish I could remember every insult, but ones that stuck out was how he screamed that tyler would never be anything in his life, that he’s only wasting everyone else’s time by showing up to school, that he should skip to the future and find a corner to sit on and beg. there was a lot more, but I just don’t recall. I remember being really scared though, and I remember how silent the class was after, even tyler. our teacher kinda just stopped after that. idk what he was thinking, nor did he talk about it the next day. yes, he was back the next day, but he told tyler to go to the room where we hold ISS, and he walked out to somewhere else. he was nicer from then on, but I think it was more so because a lot of us stopped trying him. I sure as hell stopped; that man scared me after that.

Story 16: my brother teaches kids with special needs. This kid was way outta control and I often hear my brother say that this is a common issue for special needs kids because their parents think it's bad to discipline them. So sometimes they have these random violent outbursts for no reason other than it's allowed at home and school. It's kinda sad because he says he has taught autistic kids who had parents who actually patented and he said the results are night and day. Their kids, despite their disabilities don't ever respond violently or disruptively and never impeded the learning process All that to say, parents need to be re-schooled on how to take care of their kids these days.

[@jamekanichols3732]

All these stories just validate my decision to gracefully bow out of early education. I'm 16 credits away from my bachelors for early education/ special education. I changed my mind quickly after volunteering for my childrens pre-school. I witnessed 4 year olds throwing chairs and toys at teachers and threats of calling parents were laughed at. In my day, if you threatened to call parents, that's all you needed for a change, but now, the kids don't care, and neither do the parents or the school system. You have no backup, and any move you make right/wrong could be your career and your ability to financially sustain you and your family. It also amazes me that athletes make millions to handle a ball, but you get peanuts for handling the future 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@leileyaravencroft]

As I listen to these stories and reflect back on every story that I have heard, there seems to be a growing problem in our school system: parents who don’t care, know how, understand, and/or all of those things and use it to abuse their children as well as administrators not only being cowardly, don’t/can’t be bothered… So I just want to remind everyone something: Time marches on. Years flow like sand in an hourglass. Those same children whom we can’t be bothered to properly teach, protect, or care for will grow up. They will be getting the jobs that you currently have… they will never forget… and if they don’t treat your grandchildren the same way… they will treat you that way. You do realize they will be able to vote, right? They will be doctors, lawyers, judges, nurses… I mean if you want society to crumble keep doing what you’re doing. I mean… you have been talking about Armageddon forever. I guess it makes sense that they would be the ones to bring it.

My "I'm out" moment was the culmination of the lack of support from admin and the way some teachers flagrantly broke rules because admin thought it was our job as peers to call each other out instead of, you know, being a boss. I had a student with chronic dress code issues (and I get that dress codes suck, but ours was pretty lax. Like, you just had to not wear a crop top). When I finally told her she was going to guidance for a shirt to change into, admin let her just "zip up her coat" which absolutely didn't stay zipped up or on. She and her friends made and posted fliers about how she deserved justice. Oh, and she didn't get any punishment for that. I was already on my way out for other reasons, but that was the day I told admin that I wasn't afraid to use all of my accumulated sick leave to stay home for the rest of the year because I was tired of expecting support and getting smacked in the face instead. Thankfully, the new school I work is so much better about everything. The support I have is truly incredible, and it makes me happy I didn't completely quit teaching.

I tutored Japanese in college. I didn't charge pple because school's expensive af. But the teachers realized someone was helping the kids because the class average went up 10 points. So they basically force me to be a paid tutor for the school. They wanted to sit me in the tutor room...which, okay, i get it. A quiet study area helps people study better. But i hate to tell ya this, 18 year olds are LAZY. The one time i waited for people to come to me in the tutoring room, no one came. So i declared, 'screw this noise' and went back to lurking around the language department. Then they wanted me to pay to take their 'mandatory' tutoring class. Uh...it's not rocket science folks. People have questions about assignments, grammar, test questions they got wrong etc and can't make it to a teacher's office hours. You tell them what for in as many different ways as you can think of until they understand. And Japanese 1010 and 1020 isn't rocket science either. You got a set of rules on how to put together words. It's like a tinker-toy set. You show them how to put together the base moddle, give them a bunch of words and see what the student can do with them. Which takes PATIENCE and a LOT of time and effort on the student's part. However, patience isn't America's strong point. Like. At all. And THAT'S what's really wrong with our education system. Well, one of many many issues. It's sad really because over all, iq. Is higher than it has wver been in the past. We're just rotting from the inside out. Ps this is all to say, cut the school admin and just let teachers do what they want. They went to school to learn how to teach your brat. That makes them an expert and better than you/your child and the admin.

Casual teacher, also known as a substitute teacher. Had a 5/6 class that came into the classroom already out of control. They wouldn’t stop talking long enough for me to let them know what to do, they were yelling, they were throwing things, they were having ‘friendly’ fights that absolutely were not friendly. I redirected, I praised the two people doing something resembling the right thing, I blew my whistle (which I virtually never do inside), I did everything to get some control and nothing worked. Eventually I called the deputy principal down to remove a student, and when he got there, I had him watch the kids so I could spend a few minutes crying quietly in the hallway. First and only time I’ve cried during school hours. I came back in, the DP realised the shit they had been putting me through, sent me on break to complain to the receptionist while he served as warden for the class, and reassigned me after lunch to a lovely Year 1 class. It’s a good thing he did too, because I was legitimately half a minute away from leaving the school in the middle of the day. I still occasionally teach at that school, but never in the 5/6 age range

I nearly quit being a teacher year before last. I was at a school with students that were either well off or acted that way to get along with the “popular” kids. A teacher got sent to the hospital by a student after telling them to go to class. I had a group of kids of different ethnicities that spent my Algebra 1A class playing animal sounds and racist memes, talked in mostly TikTok brainrot terms,threw opened sauce cups at me, and more. Tried getting administration to break the group apart because they were all fine when they weren’t together, but it never happened despite multiple assurances and I ended up being let go from downsizing. Still got almost all of them to pass and had better numbers than the county on assessments, but I learned I liked working in “poor” schools much better. There are two types of difficult students, those who think they can’t succeed, and those who think they can’t fail. I prefer working with the former.

the quiet kid spreading rumors abt That One Kid Causing Trouble but it’s actually a lie: in PE, a student from another class entered the room, ran at the speed of light all around the classroom, sang a hilariously bad rap song about his penis, tried to rizz up all of the students in class, they all rejected him, and one of the students kicked him in the balls. (the students he “rizzed up” were all transgender) he got expelled because in the past, he caused so much trouble that when this happened the teacher just couldn’t take it anymore. The next day when I came in, the principal told me that the original PE teacher quit because of what happened that day. It was a lie. The PE teacher was still there.

This might seem irrelevant, but one of my favourite fairy tales is "The Wise Woman" by George MacDonald. In the story two girls, one a princess and the other one born to peasant shepherds are born on the same day. Both sets of parents spoil the kids rotten. The mysterious wise woman comes and switches the girls' places, and pretty soon both sets of parents are raising the other girl somewhat reasonably instead of spoiling her. Sometimes parents are just terrible, but I get the feeling that most of the problem parents in this thread could do an excellent job raising their kids of they just opened their eyes to see that their kids aren't always angels. People are too scared of discipline these days. If you prune a tree it properly, it doesn't die. It grows better and produces more fruit. Kids are similar in this way.

25 years in, and it gets worse every single year. Sure, some years are a little easier than others, but the parents on drugs, grandparents raising grandchildren, kids in foster care and kids in group homes increases yearly. This instability really hurts a large portion of students. For those of you who are foster parents and truly care about those kids, kudos to you, but where I am, a lot of foster parents are just about that government check. Also, the teachers are responsible for more each year due to idiots in the government, who haven’t set foot in a classroom since their educational career was over, make idiotic bills and laws which in no way help the educational system. Don’t get me started on standardized testing, student and parent entitlement and behavior issues.

[@earniemaedeen2703]

I absolutely hate standardized testing and had a personal terrible experience with that in the seventh grade. I never performed to my ability on these tests. In seventh grade we tested at the beginning of the year and were placed in class levels based on results. I tested average but was not “average”. Midway through the year I was transferred to the top level. I was half a year behind the class and my grades tanked. Fortunately I had a friend in class who helped me get through the rest of the year. I have hated standardized testing since. Also a tidbit for parents-you CAN refuse to allow your child to test. However, if your kids are going to college they will absolutely have to score well on some kind of standardized test to get into college so these tests do help prepare them for this type of testing. Just don’t put too much pressure on them about these tests when they are in K-12.

Small note, if two people are the same race… it’s not racism, it’s colorism.

Hey, Undersparked, there is a risk of moving students to lower grades. It has nothing to do with shame and stigma. Imagine a student is operating at a 4th grade level but they are 15. They will have 15 year old hormones and be surrounded by small children. Sexual maturity=/= intellectual maturity. Housing 9th and 12th graders in the same biulding is hella risky (my daugher, age 14, was harassed by a 19 year old super senior). We need graduated age appropriate courses for the safety of young children as well as the relative success of all students

[@GiordanDiodato]

so you want the other child to suffer?

bru what game is that?

[@PardonMeBut...]

Rights combined with industries always ends badly, eh? What about water? And food? I see no problem with food.

[@GiordanDiodato]

uh..... have you seen what happened to Flint's water?

[@whyareallmynamestaken1382]

Yeah but foods becoming harder and harder to afford, and the people running these industries treat it like a commodity not a basic human nessessity. It should be a lot easier to access than it is but instead thousands of people go hungry or without clean water every day. That's what happened when you combine a right and an industry.

[@laurenrobinson4034]

You do realize that the food industry is quite possibly one of the most corrupt, right? Lobbying causes loose regulations, there’s excessive food waste in the US, and there are food deserts in the US where fresh produce is almost impossible to find. So yeah, the food industry isn’t as great as you want to believe. Don’t even get me started on water companies like Nestle and Arrowhead that divert natural water sources away from locals to their production plants. Maybe do some research on these topics

7:32 it’s a hot take, but teachers are not underpaid. I’ve also heard that they’re overpaid, which I also disagree with. They’re paid exactly what they should be when you adjust their pay to what it would be if they worked all year

[@laurenrobinson4034]

Either statement is a false generalization. Some teachers are well paid for their work, others are underpaid to the point that they need a second job. It all depends on the state and income level of the students they teach. This is due to schools being funded by the property taxes of the neighborhoods around them. My mom works in an area with wealthy homeowners and less well-off renters. The property taxes allow for adequate funding. Other schools, such as those in rural or poorer cities are severely struggling and they don’t pay the teachers enough due to a lack of funding. I’ve heard stories from teachers on multiple platforms that mention that teaching is one of their 2 or three jobs. This situation is not uncommon. My mom even does instacart delivery sometimes if she has something she needs to save for.

[@GiordanDiodato]

wrong

[@GiordanDiodato]

@@laurenrobinson4034 it boils down to state and county governments and because us Americans are anti-tax, well... you know. Plus them electing terrible admins.

[@laurenrobinson4034]

Are you personally connected to anyone in the education profession? Because I’ve volunteered with kids doing homework and my mom is a teacher. She personally knows other teachers in other states or cities that are struggling to make ends meet. If you talked with any teacher in a public school, you’d know that they aren’t paid enough. Especially when you realize that a large portion of their work is required to be done outside of school hours or their contracted hours.

Pls. No commentary. No voices. No quavering empathy. Only stories. Pls.

No. I love it the way it is I love the commentary, the voices, the empathy I don't want only stories. And I am not the only one. If you don't like this don't watch.

2:49 Story 4. In any school situation that results in profuse bleeding, call the real 911. NEVER use the campus security first (if at all). Non-police police are a complete waste.
