Maybe if they paid us more then 15/hr
Every one of these people in Congress who threaten violence or Civil War after January 6, 2021 including Trump, shall be arrested as the enemy of the United States of America! Time to protect our country once and for all…!
I wouldn't want to be a Teacher to these bad ass kids, and their entitled do nothing parents. No thanks.
recruit from abroad
Who wants to teach a bunch of self entitled brats with self entitled parents?
Poor pay, disrespectful students, unhinged parents, conspiracy theory fueled republicans taking over districts and constant school shootings. Get out of the profession as fast as possible.
Burnout is real in any profession specifically teachers…constantly reinventing teaching techniques just to keep up with our current landscape of WOKENESS culture. To be a teacher is a honorable profession…HEROES!!!
There will be no physical Schools in the future. learning will be conducted by robots via Video Conferencing. Good morning I am your instructor R7Z1. I am capable of 50k subjects and I can speak 500 languages.
Meh. There has been a shortage of GOOD teachers forever. It is ironic that people who grade others for a living refuse to be graded themselves.
Everyone who's not in education seems utterly shocked by this. Everyone who is in education is nodding, rolling their eyes and saying, "We warned you this was coming." 😐
There’s fewer students enrolled as well, so it should work out.
I taught 1 year and I had a student in my class who did not follow 1 single rule. She wouldn't do any work, she would climb furniture, she destroyed my property, and she would hit and bite other students. I was too busy trying to keep her from hurting herself or others to even get through a lesson. Despite me complaining to the office over and over and over again for months they just let me struggle through it. One morning I came in ready to quit because I wasn't willing to get charged or sued if anybody got hurt in my class. They must have sensed I was ready to quit because that same morning they removed her from my class. I sub now and unfortunately it wasn't an isolated situation. I see this all the time.
Nobody wants to work
Nobody wants the truth
Nobody has respect
Nobody has manners
Nobody listens
Nobody cares
Nobody will have heat this winter
Nobody will have gasoline
Nobody will have food
Everybody should blame Putin!
Here's the issue: Mandatory School. Let the people who don't want to be in school not be in school. Let those who want to learn, learn in peace. Will you have a bunch of dumbasses? Yes. But that's better than those same dumbasses ruining the learning experience for a ton of people who actually want to learn. Better to have those people be properly educated then the bring everyone down.
I honestly think teachers should be paid more, not only because of how important this job is to our society, but also considering the amount of BS and silliness they have to take from some of their students. All teachers deserve a raise.
As someone who will be a new teacher in 2024, I cant wait!
I think the worst place to possibly be a teacher would be California because the LGBT community tries to force their identities into every nook and cranny of the curriculum. I would guess that's why California went from 1st-38th in educational rankings in just 10 years.
Anyone can be paid to be a teacher. Few if any can be a mentor if the parents are always right.
It's not a teacher shortage. It's a shortage of pay and decent treatment of our teachers
It's called micro classes.
1 teacher and 10 students.
This is the next step for people who want their children to get an actual education.
Government run teacher's union and government run schools are turning out murderers and thieves 😳.
Oh…my…God. They are…wearing…masks.
You can't teach and be the parent too. I salute teachers because I wouldn't do it.
I have a degree in math but thought about teaching.
Our society is comoletely breaking down in every area. Terminal stage capitalism. We do not protect, respect, and invest in teachers. How are we meant to have the next generation of doctors, educators, innovators, etc? We are surely paying for this in the long term……
Teachers are leaveing because they have to double think every thing they say to pretend woke.No money can be enough to put up with unbehaved children.ABC get your facts,Denver is closeing schools because of low enrollment.
“Like”
Maybe it's time to pay them better wages, not expecting them to have guns in the classroom, have smaller classes.
Im so glad i was already retired before the pandemic and all the right wing nonsense hit – if i were still teaching i would not have gone back this fall.
If you have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet as a college graduate why would you become a teacher? As has been mentioned in the comments section, teachers are undervalued and treated like babysitters in some school districts. Suddenly homeschooling is starting to look appealing again.
Because Nobody wants to get killed being a teacher and teaching Stupid rich or poor kids that don't want listen and learn hahaha Just a waste of time don't be stupid let the parents teach there own dumb kids 😆😆😆
Homeschool, they will learn something besides sex!!!!
I like dark humor. This was very unintentionally funny. Can you say "do you want fries with that"? You too can be a teacher in Oregon or Florida. Maybe they will start bringing in the homeless to teach kids soon.
Americans have no respect for teachers. Shame
