The first time I asked a colleague how hard it was to teach, have a family, and go back for their master's they told me it wasn't that hard, but also warned me that the pittance they made more for both the degree and being head of the department was less than what they had to pay in school costs/loans. Literally, make less for getting that degree and promotion (which is impossible to get without the degree). This is in one of the best paid cities teachers, in a state with one of the lowest CoL ratios in the nation.

And I am going to ignore any elitist comments made towards my original statement. In the US, I taught at a more rural school with a diverse socioeconomic population for a year, 2 different inner city schools with high poverty levels, and an upper middle class suburban school. Each type of school had it's own challenges.

I left teaching and became a librarian for less pay because I could no longer deal with the stress of maintaining order in a classroom. I wanted to teach, not spend my time being a disciplinarian. I had to deal with students who were unruly, rude, and disrespectful. I found that school administrators were fearful of parents and did not support teachers. One often hears that the teacher shortage is due to low salaries. This is not the whole story and vastly underestimates the difficulties and problems that one faces in the classroom.

Having lived and studied in several countries, I have noticed a big challenge for teachers in the US: the students are disrespectful, uncontrollable, and unwilling to study. The teachers are excellent and full of passion to teach, but unable to do anything with a class that has 0 respect. And the faculty support system is not strong enough for the teacher to manage the class. The students will be awful to the teachers, but if the teachers ever slip up under the pressure, they will be punished. The rules for how teachers can interact, or connect with students is extremely strict, giving teachers very little freedom. So basically, teachers are disrespected by their class, by the parents, and do not have a strong support system from the school, who will throw the teachers under the bus if they ever slip up or parents complain. I don't think the issue is with the resources or funding of the schools. Students in Asia work with very little. While in the USA, most teachers have smartboards, access to computer labs, etc. But who wants to work in a job where you are constantly abused by your class, disrespected, and constantly given pressure by your faculty and higher ups? In Asia, teachers are highly respected by students, the parents always take the side of the teacher, and are respected by the school, who supports them. Teachers have much more authority and freedom to discipline, manage and connect with their class. Being a teacher is a highly respected job.

But the thing is the teachers give you work after work and tests after tests. There is so much tests in the US at school. And they also teach you very useless things. And some teachers don’t even teach and just give you the worksheets. Most of them just grade and throw away your papers, not really going over it for us to learn from the mistakes we made. I don’t like the student, but the teachers aren’t the best either.

Teachers are abused by both students and parents. Unfortunately schools allow this to happen. Back when I was in school if my mom was called in fir a conference with my teacher about my behavior or grades it was “what did my daughter do? Why are you not doing your work in class? You’re going to fail the class if you keep this up.” Nowadays it’s a screaming match where the parent is cussing out the teacher, telling her she’s not teaching her child correctly, that no she’s not going to fail her kid, she doesn’t care if her kid mouths off, etc. The severe level of disrespect from students and parents is a huge issue with teacher retention. School districts aren’t willing to support their teachers. Some are even requiring teachers to give students a passing grade even if they don’t do the work. There was a case recently where a teacher emailed a parents after the parent wasn’t responding to messages left for them regarding their child not showing up for the virtual learning classes. The parents started screaming at the teacher telling her it was her fault her son wasn’t logging on, that it was the teachers responsibility to make sure her son was awake & logged on, that she’s busy at work so it’s not her fault. She told the teacher it was her responsibility to come to her house every day to wake her son up for school each morning. Are you kidding me!!!! Parents are supposed to make sure their children go to school, participate in school, do their homework, etc. Teachers are not babysitters. Parents need to start stepping up and get back to parenting instead of trying to be their kids best friend. Too many parents are expecting the schools to do everything for their children and it’s creating generations of disrespectful, ungrateful, uneducated, entitled little brats who offer zero to the world. It’s time we quit blaming teachers for the failings of students and start putting the responsibility where it belongs: on the parents who aren’t doing their job!!!

Every older generation talks bad about the next generations. People who grew up without radio and TV often thought it was damaging their children. Don't get me wrong corporations designing every consumer good around bad addictive habbits like food and social media is affecting us. Not making us lazy or dumber but more apathetic and careless. Also the attention spans of people are getting shorter. So their right and wrong. Advancements don't ruin people but predatory uses of those advancements do. Don't believe me. People generally say Japan is "smarter" than the US. But the Japanese have higher gambling addictions than people in the US. That behavior was a result of Companies giving more people randomized stuff instead of just buying exactly what you want. For example most vending machines there you have to pay and hopefully get the candy you want. As a result people didn't think they were actually gambling but they got so used to earning things in a randomized way Japanese tend to actually have higher gambling addictions. That's why pachinko is so big over there. Here in the US you just buy what you want at vending machines. Point being are vending machines(tech/advancement) bad or is it how they are used?

Big point this video doesn't mention is that American teachers have to furnish their own classrooms out of pocket. Almost all American students experience bright colors, toys, books, posters, pencils, markers, crayons, often paper, etc in classroom and without the teacher paying out of pocket they would have only bleak cinderblock walls and textbooks to learn from. Edit 11/3/2020: I want to clarify that teachers shouldn't have to do this and many other countries don't put this added expense on the teacher, but provide it through public funding. Also- to any Americans reading this today: VOTE OH GOD PLEASE VOTE.

I left teaching because the stress was causing me to lose my hair. I could no longer tolerate badly behaved kids (I worked at a private elementary school that many times took in kids that were kicked out of public schools) many parents were disrespectful and got angry if you told them that their kids were anything less than perfect. Feeling pressure to decorate my classroom like a "Teachers Pay Teachers" or KZbinr teacher type person. Cause that's another thing... There's an unspoken competition between teachers over who has the cutest most creative classroom and door. The teachers with the best decorations and creations were seen as the teachers you should strive to be like, and those of us who kept it minimal because we're not as artistic and crafty were seen as the ones who didn't want to try hard enough. I broke down everytime I got blamed for student behavior and grade outcome. I shouldn't be blamed for whether Timmy took his classes seriously and studied for his tests, or whether a child chose to follow my rules of conduct or not. Teachers are expected to be 10 different things at once. We need to be kind and mild mannered while tough and fearsome enough to keep everyone in line. We're to be fun, dynamic and creative like Mary Poppins. As artistic and crafty as the art teacher, know how to handle special cases like a special ed teacher would, know enough about psychology to also be a therapist to your class, have secretarial skills, AND be extremely tech savvy. All without an assistant. It's too much! My dream job is to be left alone in an office cubicle in front of a computer, give me a task and a deadline and don't ever talk to me about kids or parents again!

Jordi Nagel one thing this video didn’t consider was the pay structure, it’s not just about the average pay. Maybe Finland pays new teachers less and teachers whom are higher in seniority are paid a lot more in Finland( I’m not saying this is true but the video didn’t address this). Maybe Finland has a shorter summer break which allows for shorter work days? These are just a few of many questions the video didn’t address. Nonetheless, our public school structure needs to have a major overhaul.

We are facing enormous teacher shortages, at least partly because our workload has massively increased over the past couple of decades. Even in the time I’ve been teaching (9 years) it’s increased really significantly. I’m now a relief teacher and have a much better work/life balance.

As a retired teacher with lots of teacher friends, I have a few thoughts on this. Vox was right about some. First, teaching should not be the Rodney Dangerfield of professions. Students lack respect, and so do many parents. They assume teachers failed down into the job, rather than having spent time and money to achieve the education and meet the requirements of the career they are (at least to start) passionate about. This is especially true for students from well to-do families. Second, stop treating grades as the relevant end product. It causes the PROCESS of learning to be devalued, and people to say they deserve a good grade because they worked hard, or even (college) because they'd paid for the course. Spend less time on testing (and teaching to tests). America loves testing in part because we like observable, measurable outcomes. But teacher training includes assessment. We already know how to find out what our students have learned. Don't make us stop teaching our course material in order to teach to and administer additional tests. Quit expanding the job. We are teachers. Subject-matter experts. We aren't (generally) counselors, psychologists, PE teachers, police, their students' parents, or any other of a number of roles that some people want us to fill. We need people as trained and prepared for those roles as we are for ours. And speaking of pay... Yes, teachers need to have more equitable pay and benefits. They should not have to have such a large percentage of their work uncompensated. People are fond of saying, "they get 3 months off!" Yes. With no pay. Unable to apply for unemployment. But still having to spend much of that time in continuing education (not free, usually), lesson planning, conference attendance (to learn new tools, techniques, laws, etc.) and other activities that directly benefit their schools and students, but for which they are typically uncompensated. Think it's optional to do this? Ask your school administrators. The few days of inservice for which teachers are paid are completely inadequate for preparation. They must do it on their own time and dime to do the job well enough to keep the job. Please. If you value the youth of our nation, set aside the money to give them teachers who aren't too poor, stressed, sick, or burned out to show their students the passion for their subject and career that they had when they started out.

While this is a big part of it, it's not so "simple" actually. Even if the pay was up to standards, the poor conditions would still cause teachers to leave. Not having enough time to crank out curricula, cutting support staff like paras and counselors, expecting teachers to bring so much work home with them, tight control over when a teacher is "supposed" to use personal days--it's a grindy experience which would push people out even if the pay was excellent. (Caveat: my husband's school is particularly bad. But I'm sure it's not the only one.)

She had it easy. It isn't just kids, it's the parents who are disrespectful. Worse, in Oklahoma, the State school superintendent sided with a right-wing post against a librarian who joked her "radical" agenda was to get kids to love reading. He vowed to stop her 'Woke' agenda. 6 days of bomb threats against the librarian and school district followed. He's made teaching from the Bible mandatory and if he doesn't like how you do it, he'll pull your teaching license so you can't work as a teacher even if your school wants to keep you. As of July 2024, I don't think teachers know with certainty how to comply with his Bible demand to keep their jobs but that isn't important because the real point is to get teachers to fear the superintendent and I'm pretty sure they understand that. The superintendent (an ex-teacher!) doesn't respect teachers or the schools that employ them. Politicians don't respect teachers. Voters don't either. Why would anyone expect children to be respectful given that environment? The future looks bleak.

Finishing my first year of teaching in the US, I can say the lack of respect you receive makes any teacher working long hours feel unappreciated. There is so many misconceptions about US teachers it is ridiculous. 1. We only get paid for the 190 days of contract time. This means all breaks I am not getting paid for yet I have authorized the district to withhold my check and divide my salary into 24 checks. 2. My contact time is only 7:30-4:00pm so please understand when you see teachers at school until 6 or 7 , we are not getting paid for that time. It is normally from the lack of enough planning time that pushes us to stay late for FREE. 3. Teaching is the only profession that you buy your own supplies. I can either wait for the admin to give me needed supplies and take months or I buy it myself so that I can use it. 4. I taught at a Title 1 school and the kids are far from the reason why things are stressful. It is the amount paperwork that is being given that is stressful. My kids were always the best part.

Careful, there’s a difference between smart and knowledgeable. You may have just had more exposure to that specific material, while the American kids had exposure to different material that would make them seem like the smartest kids if they went to school in Finland for a year. There are a bunch of other confounding variables, but that was the first to come to mind.

I'm a teacher, and I've taught in public and private schools in the US and in several other countries, to say the least. The issue about hours, respect and pay are so relative. In the US I worked up to 12 hours a day, with 8 of them being teaching hours. I barely had enough time for taking care of myself. My pay was the lowest in the US, but the highest in my state. Everyone in society respected me for being a teacher, gave me gifts or discounts, and thanked me personally for being a teacher. There are lots of other factors that make it difficult to teach in the US. The biggest one I saw is that each school system is run on the whims of a small group of people who mainly concern themselves with state test scores, funding and/or not getting shut down for a failing school grade. Another is the lack of family support that students have outside of school and the trauma they bring into the classroom that supersedes learning. They pack 33 students into a classroom with random educational models, administration and management. So guess who doesn't want to be underpaid, working 12 hours a day, worried about personal safety, struggling with the multitude of students' personal problems , and unappreciated by the admin? The teachers. So they quit after an average of 2 years.

Teachers are not valued in the country and work overtime to have parents, collegues, staff, and the Us government tell them their efforts are not enough and not meeting testing standards. Because that’s all that seems to matter: TESTING. Not learning, TESTING.

It’s obviously not a perfect system, as there are people on the other end of the spectrum who are great at taking tests, without knowing as much of the material.

A great education system allows children to be able to think for themselves and view things critically. America politicians don't want this to be the case because it risks them no longer being elected. They need the working and middle class to be less critical and empathetic to continually allow the rich to survive. A clear example of this is if enough people are qualified to get into higher education but can't afford to then the government's short fallings on how universities are managed will be highlighted. If you want to improve your teachers: pay them better, give them better holidays, and have better teacher education that promotes teachers to prioritise building relationships, developing students' skills over knowledge, and health & well-being. If your teachers are able to invest in their students, you won't need to invest as much in security in the long run.

I got to be honest, I think it's a lot simpler than that. I'm not sure the majority of our politicians are capable of such long term thinking. Really, it's just that it's extremely easy to take money away from schools because the only voters who care about school funding are ones with kids currently going to school. A common refrain in America is "I don't have kids / My kids have graduated, so why should I care about education"

@@joshuaevans4301 What I said was simple. The countries listed in the video all do it. If you improve the teachers , you improve how students experience school and then they have a better outlook on education when they're older. People are taught to care and that primarily comes from their families, friends and teachers. Producing more caring teachers would result in people who care more about other people. That's not something likely to happen in the short term because the rich people in America including the majority of politicians benefit from selfish people causing a divide amongst the working and middle class.

I think it should take stress and pressure of a curriculum also to determine the best education system. This is what I don't like about a lot of Asian education systems. It often drains the kid and forces them to study the majority of their day which is ridiculous. However, she was comparing the USA's to Finland's where students have a relatively low stress education which emphasises creative subjects, enjoying your childhood and critical thinking. I have seen a few videos on the education system there and it is amazing and I hope the UK adopts a similar form.

If children were taught how to behave by their parents, teachers would be able to have the time to actually teach their children in school!

Right! I now teach in other countries. I will never return to American public schools. Low pay, long hours, no respect, school shootings.. the list of cons far outnumber the pros.

As someone who has taught in South Korean public schools, I just have to say that there is NO WAY they only work 6 hours 48 minutes on average. They work longer hours than in the U.S., with shorter breaks than in the U.S., and they often work on weekends, too. I'm currently a teacher in the U.S. and as others have said - the main problem is that the pay is too low for the amount of stress and pressure. The working hours are very reasonable.

I believe it's a multitude of problems that make American schools just underperform. I mean as a senior at high school currently myself, I can tell you that one of the main issues with schools is they don't motivate kids to learn enough. It's always "annotate this story...Why? Because you'll do it again in college!" Meanwhile in other countries they actually give you valid reasons to learn and actually make school enjoyable, while here school is commonly dreaded.

@@Favoki Well you're not wrong, but teachers are underpaid to the point that no one is willing to do it for the amount of pressure along with the lack of support and respect. Parents don't support teachers or respect them, because they know anyone can become a teacher. And anyone can become a teacher because pay is so low that the best and brightest don't want to become teachers. So now there are many teachers (not all, of course) who really aren't good at it, or aren't actually that intelligent, or both, which causes people to rightfully have less respect for teachers. It's a vicious cycle, and the only way out is to pay teachers better. Then we could attract the absolute best people for the job, which would demand more respect for the profession, which would give teachers more support and make their jobs easier, which would allow them to better motivate students and prepare them for the real world.

@Vanessa Yost It depends on what your measuring stick is. If you come from Japan or South Korea, you probably will find almost any job in the US to have reasonable working hours by comparison. But that is because of the cultural differences.

@@Favoki my Italian literature teacher started his first lesson by asking a simple question:"Why do we learn literature" The answer was:"Because it's beautiful" (and it helps in learning to write and a couple harder to pin point reasons) No "it helps us understand the culture" or weird other unreasonable things We learn it because those people were really good at writing

as an elementary school teacher in israel, I'd point out that selection of teacher candidates is an important element of this problem. I was in teachers' seminar with a lot of people who should not have been in the profession. of course this could be changed only by paying teachers more and thus, being able to select a lot harder.
