Dan Thomas exactly! With no discipline at home plus the same in the school systems around the country this will continue to get worse and worse. Also there are good kids that want a good education but have to deal with violence and bullying while the administration in the school systems do nothing about what is going on. Why are these kids being allowed to continue their bad behavior to the point of violence and bullying with no consequences for their actions? Do yourself a favor teachers and find another line of work. You will continue to be in danger and spend your own money to provide tools for your classroom.

My child spent months being punched, kicked, pinched, stabbed with pencils, feet stomped in the classroom by a boy and she wasn't the only one. I first spent time observing the classroom then confronted the principle. He told me the boy was being abused by his father and if they disciplined him at school he would be more abused at home. I then pointed out that if they had knowledge of parental abuse they were legally obligated to report it to child protection services or they could be charged. Soon after the father was removed from the home. The change for the better in that boy's behavior was swift and dramatic. I still would like to know why it took me reminding them of their legal liability to get them to report that young man's abuse by his father. 🤬

This is a product of the welfare state. Welfare mama (there is usually no daddy in the equation) started excreting offspring shortly after reaching puberty from several different baby's daddies who are usually grown men who periodically knock up these underage girls. No one in the community objects or holds them accountable. Welfare mamma was whelped from a 13-14 year old welfare mama and she in turn began defecating her offspring at this age. We now have multiple generations of uneducated undisciplined children collecting billions of our tax dollars and voting for one political party.

[@JRobbySh]

We have a full thirty years of degeneration of the school cultures. The reaction of the Superintendent Pius a sign of the basic problem. School administration is a form of appointive politics. Incompetents with a gift of gab are being hugely compensated for managerial skills they do not have. Then they are bought out for millions of dollars so than another pretender can be hired.

I’ll admit, I was one of those problematic children growing up. When I was in 1st grade, I threw chairs, bit teachers, hid under my desk during tests and had to be separated from the other students. My mom didn’t care. She lived off social security and had my two older siblings to deal with. I stopped when I got older. My sister was put in foster care and my mom abandoned my brother and moved out of state because he was too old for her to get child support anymore, but she kept me. As soon as I hit 18, the child support checks stopped coming and my mom started charging me rent. I got a job and moved out fast. I honestly don’t remember why I was such a monster when I was little, but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with the amount of attention I got from the teachers when I threw a fit. It was much more than my own mom ever gave me. All I know is I’m never having kids of my own. I’ve never had a positive role model for a parent and I doubt I’d do any better.

Cursing is irrelevant in a school. Being sent to detention for disobedient voices is NOT about knowledge, it's about compliance. Schools need to be about knowledge, not compliance. They're training obedient factory workers for a country that doesn't hire factory workers. Keeping the poor dumb so the rich kids can fly past them towards real opportunity.

[@jumbodump]

i'm not saying compliance is a dirty word or that rules ruin schools. i'm saying the PRIMARY objective of a SCHOOL should be KNOWLEDGE, not compliance. "Sit still, shut up and take your Ritalin" is NOT education. If schools place too much weight on profanity/cursing, you're going to turn off a disproportionate amount of boys (more likely to disobey/challenge authority) from the oppressive school system. If boys lose faith in schools, they're going to "fall off the rails of society" and do their own thing. At 1:43 the teacher actually says: "Everything is dictated to you, You have basically no say. It's almost as if we're reading from a script" Compliant, aren't we? Nobody to challenge the status quo because everyone has that student debt degree with certificate and all the hoop-jumping that ensures compliance. Everybody from top to bottom is so obedient they forget schools are about knowledge, not compliance. Focus on compliance and kids (esp boys) will resist and the cycle gains (angular?) momentum. Knowledge needs to be top priority at schools but thin-skinned teachers taking offense at the way kids are vibrating the atmosphere are retarded. What kind of example are the teachers setting by being so easily angered and using the system to push boys away from knowledge for challenging authority? More females graduate college than males?

Keep in mind that this high school was built in the 80s, so there is no reason whatsoever for a building of that age to have that many problems...unless no one is maintaining it. Come to find out, the superintendent was stealing money from the building, education, books and whatever else funds to fill his own pockets. To make matters worse, he actually had the gaul to ask for more money from the community!!! My brother was in the high school at the time, and they couldn't even feed the kids there. A fast food joint had to come and bring food. Your superintendent looks guilty as hell, and he looks like he's trying to cover his own ass.

Plenty of schools, lower enrollments, smaller classes, teachers had a better chance at helping students in a respected career. Today, one school district may cover 2, 3, 4 or more towns. Sometimes, there may only be one school district for an entire county! Limited schools, bigger enrollments, larger classes, teachers may only have 40 minutes to help 80 students while constantly being criticized by administrators, parents, & general lowlifes who think they are useless.

Not really, I turned out fine. I have 3 smart well behaved kids, granted one child have issues his first year but we managed to address and handle it, now he is as well behaved as his siblings. The discipline point is accurate, as long as you dont mean physical discipline, which does not correct bad behavior nor is it good parenting. Not sure what the other guys point is, but I grew up without a "father" in the home and was definitely better for it, my husband's parents were "perfect" until they suddenly got divorced which messed with him and all of his siblings and our son who has social issues has always had a 2 parent home. There's no quick answer, but we have to start listening to kids when they have a problem and then trying to address it, as a parent I have found the easiest and most successful way to address issues with behavior is to simply ask the child and listen and then address their concerns. Kids just want to feel loved and heard which is not that hard to do. When they aren't their underdeveloped brain makes them believe acting out is the best way to achieve what they need.

Because in my house hold and when it comes to my brothers and their wives it's the women who run the household not the men. My husband will avoid any kind of conflict, which means I do most of the parenting and the behavior corrections especially when it comes to the girls as my husband says and does absolutely nothing. His daughter doesn't come home on time I have to deal with it because he won't, my brothers live with their children and yet barely are involved with the daily activities of the kids, my experience is that men will always take the backseat when it comes to parenting because its always been the womens traditional role and that is just now changing. Men dont just automatically hold authority in a home and they dont automatically have the respect of their children and 2 parents dont have to stay together in order for a man to be involved. You are just holding on to some sexist ideas that men have authority and are needed to raise children properly which is just not true, and the same can be said about women. A father can raise his child by himself just fine if the mother is a piece of shit and the child will benefit from the piece of shit not being in their lives.

I taught for 17 years in the NC school system, I was raised in Phila., PA, and am one of nine children. As a baby boomer, things were much different in the world than they are today. This is what I experienced and/or saw during my tenure in a middle school classroom which I left in 2017: • Students who lack academic discipline (capable of doing the work, however, most were lazy). The foundation for learning begins in the home (single parent or not). Many households have failed to prepare their children for school. • Students have a responsibility to come to school and do their best (many are not doing their part) • Students who are ill-mannered and/or disrespectful • Administrators who are more afraid of parents and central office i.e., the school board. They want the title but not the downside of managing a school • Administrators who do not stand up and support their teachers because they fear central office and/or parents, and the children do not fear either • Politics in education • A system that does not hold students or their parents accountable and/or responsible. Some parents “don’t step up to the plate” because their attitude is, let the schools do it! • Passing students on to the next grade level even though they are not prepared (the system does not want to hear from disgruntled parents because their child was not promoted). Unfortunately, school funding is often tied to “the numbers looking good;” therefore, the students are allowed to go to the next grade level where they will continue to struggle. This is truly leaving children behind! I clearly understand that some students are living in dysfunctional households. Parents and/or guardians who are dealing with drug abuse, incarceration, low income, food insecurity, etc. Parents who ARE NOT PARENTING, but who are more concerned with being friends with their little darlings! This, I believe, is one of the main reasons why some parents are having the problems they are having with their children. Many of today’s youth dictate to their parents as to what they will do and what courses they will or will not pass! I have been told, “I don’t have to pass your class!” This was not an option when I was growing up! Why is a grade of sixty (60) passing and/or acceptable? During my school days a grade of sixty (60) was unacceptable - in my gradebook, to this day, a sixty (60) is still an “F” and unacceptable! Teachers cannot do it all! Learning does not stop because a student leaves the classroom! Teachers try to assign homework but get pushback from some students and parents. Not every student can grasp a lesson during the allotted classroom time which makes it necessary to give homework. Teachers have to deal with numerous interruptions during class time, often because of misbehavior. Don’t give a test on a Monday, don’t give homework or a project over the holidays - this is absurd!!! Most evenings I had homework from 3 - 5 subjects; most often I had homework that required I put in time over the weekend to get it done! My parents did not accept any excuses! Let us not mention penmanship e. g. students who cannot legibly print their name on a sheet of paper. If my mother, who had nine (9) children and worked a full-time job outside the home was able to check over my homework, why can’t today’s parent or guardian do the same with less children in the home and the modern conveniences? I am tired of the excuses! There are effective teachers and ineffective teachers, this holds true for every profession! I do not believe, for one minute, that the underlying problem lies with teachers! Families are broken and the K-12 education system is on a respirator.

The Theory of "Evolution (as proposed in Charles Darwin's book: 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of the Favored Races in the Struggle for Life')" is the Racism/White supremacy ideology and training(brainwashing) program. [The theory is false] 2. French biologist Louis Pasteur began exposing the Theory of Evolution to be false several years after the publication of Darwin's book. 3. The Theory of Evolution has no Formula (characteristic of theories without substance in fact, truth or law). 4. There is no gene in the entire genome spectrum to account for the claim of genetic evolution. 5. There are no facts or evidence to prove or support the claim that organisms change into other organisms of a more complex nature through any "unguided" or random "process". 6. The value placed on the Theory of Evolution has been connected to it's claim (a false claim) that so-called White people are "Evolved" beyond so-called non-White people through the "process of Evolution" (centered around the "stronger" dominating, mistreating or wiping-out the "weaker" etc. including the idea that the more so-called non-White the people, the closer to the "ape-man" etc.). 7. Science means Knowledge. Knowledge is to Observe, Learn and Respect. Observe is to look and listen. Learn is to find facts or find answers. Respect is to consider or think about the truth.

I taught in East Asia, and the Middle East. This is a global phenomenon, especially in American and British institutions. Being a teacher is no longer an award, it is a punishment. Teachers may need to be on strike one of these days. In summary, we are the generation z era. Parents want to be their child's friend, not their child's disciplinarian. Parents are getting more divorced, so each parent will pamper their child to play favoritism in case a court case goes up. Parents are working more than 8 hours, because of global inflation. So, grandparents will take care of the children, and most grandparents LOVE PAMPERING THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. Teachers are seen as villains than heroes. Teacher are seen more as an obstruct than mentors of the future. Teachers used to be seen as high professionals that deserve respect. Now teachers are seen as nothing more than babysitters and camp counselors. Teachers are suppose to act like clowns than guidance. Students love edutainment than education. Pray to GOD that most of your students are great. Pray to GOD that the parents will follow your way of mentorship and discipline than seeing you as an obstruction. I pray for all teachers out there. Let's hope teachers will gain more respect than deserve.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and it is very true. I was a 'latchkey kid', which is what we called it back in the day when kids got out of school while our parents were still at work. Despite that, we were expected to come home, start dinner (unless it was already in the crock pot) and get our homework done by the time our folks got home. When they did get home, we ate together and then they made sure that our homework was finished. Only after that would we get to watch TV. But it actually started even before that. As a very young child, I remember my parents making games out of things like math problems and vocabulary words, asking us questions that we didn't know the answer to (hello, Encyclopedia Brittanica!) and generally stoking our curiousity about anything and everything. I learned to read at age 4, because I was the youngest and wanted to keep up with my older siblings. I soon became a voracious reader, and my folks made sure there were always books around the house. At neighborhood BBQs, my dad used to reel off complicated math problems for us kids to solve in our heads, making it a game where the first to solve it got a prize. What it came down to was that my parents appreciated learning and education, and made it a priority from the time we were babies. That said, they also made it fun when we were very young. I see so many kids today who think that 'learning' is something they are forced to do, instead of something enjoyable to do.

Teachers dont get paid enough to have to deal with that on a daily basis. You get kids that disrupt yhe learning environment. But there are schools the have old textbooks or not enough textbooks that teachers have to make copies of chapters for kids to take home because there's only a classroom set of books. I've bought classroom supplies from the time my daughter was in kindergarten to 6th grade when her teacher told me she still had supplies leftover from the pervious yr and she supplied the rest using gift cards and out of pocket money. The high school my daughter went to her sophomore to senior yr and bearly had no books and when would do fundraiser and bake sales for science classes to go on field trips and get science supplies for the labs. It never happened because the district have it to the football team for their banquet and the rest to the boys basketball team. I went to lengths of buying all of my daughter's textbooks for ebay and second hand books store so she and her 3friends have something at home to do their homework and study. And a lack of/ new updated textbooks and other basic school supplies for classrooms is a big problem in alot of school districts especially when it comes to middle and high schools.

It does, but there are so many factors. My parents divorced when I was in 1st grade.

I put all the effort on my own by trying to pay attention at school. I did my homework as best as I could on my own. I wanted to be seen as a good kid, but I also wanted some attention for my academic achievements. Luckily, I had so many good teachers in my life. I can remember that I was a little silly as a kid from things that I would tell my teachers but nothing crazy. Years later, I decided to put education forth to only impress myself and not look for validation anymore. I just wanted a good future. It sucks to say. And we also know great teachers. I was always a straight A student in middle and high school. But sophomore year of high school I went through an event that made me depressed. Feeling that way dropped my A's to D's and C's, which is out of the ordinary for me. I had a teacher take me out of her class and not worry about classwork because she rather have me talk to a counselor. Didn't tell the counselor the actual truth, but that small gesture of the teacher really meant a lot to me. After a while, I went back to being straight A's.

Eugene Bigay - He's one of the MANY reasons why school districts are failing. I completely agree with you. He really does come across as uncaring and egotistical; the type of person who values his reputation over actual results and his subordinates' well-being. With the district's budget, he WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE A VALID REASON as to WHY teachers have to spend so much money on supplies!!!! It would be of taxpayers' best interests to start looking into EXACTLY where their money is going. If I'm not mistaken, itemized budgets are published. However, they're not always easy to go through. Perhaps some lawyers and news outlets would have a field day with seeing where the budget money is leaking. Here's a hint: There's no good reason why school district board members should get paid more and have more/better benefits than teachers. Go down that rabbit hole and see how much filth you find. It's nauseating.

Sheila, interesting. That answers an awful lot of questions.

[@joeiiiful]

The school superintendent is a large part of the problem. He is a liar and a coward.

[@warpedone3711]

Same problem all over not just in Philadelphia.

[@awckid3]

Anything to keep that salary

[@turabullschools2411]

Superintendents make at least a 6 figure salary in most places. Being in Philly, I'm sure he's raking it in. He is more concerned with job security rather than doing the right thing by kids and families.

[@cherp7522]

He has democrat mindset all over his entitled not accountability behind. LEADERSHIP IS WHERE THIS STUFF IS BORN!!! GREAT LEADERS DO NOT TOLERATE SUCH FAILURE THEY HAVE PLANS THAT WORK!!!

[@adianpryde1526]

He is an overpaid underworked welfare state bureaucrat collecting a paycheck.

I attended H.S. in the 1960's I don't recall any problems.we were well behaved and showed teachers respect.

[@tias.6675]

Lies ! Many of you were assaulting teachers and stealing from them then.

[@elizabethjones3484]

Do whatever you have to do to do it, but get your children out of the public school system. Private schools, religious schools, homeschooling communities, online schools. There are are better alternatives out there.

[@daviddansker7114]

Absolutely

[@williewillnot]

Agree 100%. These schools anymore are nothing but baby sitters for parents. No real education, no understanding the Constitution, unable to read, unable to do math. What the hell is the use of public schools anymore. Colleges now grade on a curve, when did that start? It's been a down hill slide now for 40+ years.

[@aviewer390]

I thought the same when I left teaching in a public school to,go to a Catholic school. I was wrong. I now have four decent classes and one class that is the worst I’ve ever had in my 20 years. I’m done.

I was homeschooled and can tell you that it was a joke

Where are the parents in all this? They are responsible for how their children act outside of the home

[@terencesommer6307]

The parenting is a joke.

Parents? They got replaced by TV and a government check.

When I was in high school people thought it was cool to be dumb

[@DukeNukenum]

I guess things haven't changed. I graduated in 09' but I remember in middle school acting a fool. Was always what the "cool" kids did.

[@fmj1337]

Yyp, as long as you act ”cool” that's what everyone and the girls liked. Down people still think like that outside high school, and they usually fail miserably later on

[@funnylittlewoman7207]

And they still do😒

[@dranzerjetli5126]

Same everywhere

If licenses were required to have kids, almost all of society's problems would disappear.

[@MedicalAutonomyProject]

We used to have that, we just called them marriage licenses. Nothing predicts these bad behaviors more than a child being born out of wedlock.
