At this time, I don't have any other Teacher Therapy accounts on social media, so if you find a Facebook page, Instagram or any other "Teacher Therapy" accounts it is NOT me! If I create any Teacher Therapy related social media accounts they will be linked to this page so that there is no confusion! :)

I have a distinct memory of my mother stating; The World Does Not Revolve Around Your A$$! Lol; Things were different back then. I’m 61
Yeah, I'm going to homeschool my future kids.
I don’t work in the US now… at my school, we “invite” the parents to sit in the classroom, or stay home with the child.
How are you going to say that kids need firmer discipline and then say your hands are tied and you can't do anything when a kid acts up in class. Schools are at least 50% of this problem. You no longer fail kids. You can't blame kids for being illiterate when you won't enforce teaching. You no longer give detention, suspension, or expulsion. You can't expect parents to enforce punishment for what happens at school. It makes the school look weak (because it is) and the kids learn they don't have to behave there. Fix the school!
This is almost like that confrontation scene between Doctor Parker and Missy from the 2011 drama film Detachment but wilder.
People seem to have forgotten about teaching their kids basic manners.
Most of the time parents aren't doing gentle parenting correctly. Gently parenting means to disipline your kid firmly but not mentally or phiscally hurting the kid. Basically parenting without aggression.
I’ve always wondered why schools don’t teach the younger gen CBT skills, possibly by a school counselor or something. I truly think it would really benefit these kids in so many ways. CBT could allow these children with early access to coping skills as well as behavioral and anger management. This could potentially create a good habit pattern from an early age that could truly help the future generations in behavior//decision making as well as teaching them how to properly treat others. Hopefully one day there’s a solution to all this but in the meantime I only worry as children are being influenced by so many factors nowadays. I truly hope the best for these younger gens.🩷
My cyber school community gets so much crap, but I see public schools and even private schools turning into war zones. These teachers need hazard pay and massive amounts of paid vacation. I will only say this once I got way more opportunities through my cyber while I was in school than I ever would through brick and mortar. The first question is always socialization? The common myth is that homeschooling prevents this. Yes, it does happen but 9 times out of 10 my classmates and I are out doing a whole lot more than the traditional student. Depending on the parents there is a lot more time out of the day to learn new things and improve yourself. I have also found that this bridges that problem of not having enough time for family due to half your life being spent away from them. My dad and I were not close, but when I went into my cyber school that allowed us to bond and build on a relationship that before was taken up by in person school and after school things still related to school. Brick and mortar had a horrible habit of following you home. Cyber school is not easy you have to advocate so much more for yourself due to the nature of it being online. You have to book meetings, attend classes or do the work on your own, there is no passing or no 0’s. You get a 0 it stays. I loved it though because mentioned before the class selection and choices were phenomenal! I was given the opportunity to take a well rounded sports medicine class in high school! It covered basic first aid, the typical administration runnings of a medical clinic, all the career pathways and more in the field and the paths to get there, and much more. Another class I value to this day was my personal finance. We learned taxes related to real life, how to calculate them, tax brackets, writing checks, how to fill out W-4s and other critical documents, budgeting, and even how to calculate electricity and gas bills down to the usage so we could make informed decisions without the companies taking advantage of our ignorance. This is nearly scraping the surface to what I learned, but the way I see it is that modern day learning can happen. You would think with it being online the classes would be a mess due to being able to get away with stuff. It’s actually more structured and everyone from my brother’s 7th grade to my last year of school are all just there to learn. I can count on my hand, a single hand, how many disturbances we had in class in all my years of cyber. Teacher respect is not dead just hiding! Praise to all the teachers y’all do hard work and deserve better. Thank you for sticking it out for those good kids who just want to get somewhere in this confusing world of uncertainty. Alright, my rant is done I apologize for bringing my left field opinion into this I just felt it needs to be said. Left field - slang for off topic opinions.
Bad parenting is the cause. My two kids were never like this. They were respectful because we taught them to be
Yeah ! The problem is stuff that's too easy to break !
20:00 I’m willing to bet that this is because these kids do not have fathers in their lives, so they’re not used to a man meting out disciplinary action.
And people wonder why I'm not interested in "socializing" my homeschooled kids with their neighbor peers. After the last 17 years of working with children I'm over these lazy parents .
imagine sitting there, wondering what kind of kids she is talking about
Finally a Mom who is parenting
This crap never happened in the 80s and 90s!
Teacher Gary is spot on. I liked his comment on the victim mentality pushed on black kids. Its so disempowering. Its crazy because even saying that, must have made him feel a little nervous because, SOCIETY! The political climate is poisoning our children 😢. We don't need this! 🥹🤌🏾🤌🏽
I will always blame the parents! Whether it's 'gentle parenting' (this is ruining children!), negligence of discipline and care or abuse. It all starts from home. Children come to school to bully teachers for attention. With the increase in poor parenting, and morality decline in children, teaching will become more and more undesirable to pursue. I predict that face to face teaching will be a dying career path in 10-15 years. More and more teachers will fall unto depression and quit. Less high school graduates will go to college to study teaching. More students will learn through recorded classes, online. There will be little to no human contact between teachers and students. Society will decline in morality even faster. Teacher Trish and Kelly, always remember how valuable you are as teachers! Society has been extremely unfair to you'll but never doubt your value and amazing work ❤❤❤
But ITS the parents who have allowed this. The teachers and the nosy government who have meddled in parents affairs AND This is the outcome people. God have mercy on us.
It’s horrible and goes against every child’s psychology class I’ve ever taken. Children need to feel saved, and therefore need boundaries. But parents and children seem to be able to blow through these boundaries without any checks of reality.
America was the greatest country in the world or at least that's what we Americans were taught..but at this point...most other Western countries have to be better than here
I think every staff member who is assaulted, the news need to be notified. If the press keeps showing the problem, it might actually make people to take care about these. Drown the media with these stories and let them air them.
They're really advising small groups in K-12? That sh*t doesn't even work in college. Unbelievable
I am a teacher in Europe and, luckily, we’re better protected and can’t be fired unless a teacher does something illegal. But since the pandemic, kids have become increasingly lazy. They aren’t interested in most of the subjects and can’t be motivated to learn. So many students fail their test now and they simply don’t care. And yes, late students, sleeping students in class.. it used to be an exception, but now happens on a daily basis.
How do i get in contact with the man in this interview?
So obviously she thinks that her child is entitled to damaging things with no consequences. The way she shows this and talks thinking people will agree with her, but this is just showing that she let's her kid run wild with no discipline. I can't tell if this is satire or not, I really hope it's satire.
All of the ones raising them stop complaining and raising better
I take my punches (literally) as a para. But I wish it paid better.
6.7. &8 I am shocked-
I'm a student, going into high school (Wish me luck!), and last year, I had a classmate who refused to move seats until the teacher *humiliated him* by treating him like a literal *dog* saying things like "Who's a good boy?" and "C'mere" in a babying voice *and* knelt down, patting his knees, and finally giving him 2 jolly ranchers. Once he moved, the rest of the class got 3 jolly ranchers each. Sent the message that if the students were gonna go low, he would gladly go to their level to both humiliate them and get them to listen and show respect. It worked, but it's sad he had to go that for to get the student to listen.
The plan is for the children to fail to create a lower class of people to control
I have the solution! Kids need job options all year long
Thay need to learn to read before they don't want to
First things to mold kids start early. Thay need to get out! Take them to the library early 1 grade tru 5 grade. Every week
Just found your channel today! You are great listener and question asker! Glad I found the channel! ❤
That kid needs a visit to a military base
This has been one of your best interviews yet. Can I say yes, yes, yes to: "Of course, we want all students to succeed, but that doesn't mean all students will."
The phone remembers for them
Kids can't remember because of the cellphone
You have to be able to remember! To be able to learn!!!!!
Teaching public school in the U.S. is a sh#t show. I taught middle school up until I watched a veteran teacher during break between classes be cold cocked in the hallway and drop to the ground--she was 65 yrs old and until today has neurological issues. It was at that moment, after being shoved by students against walls to get out the classroom door before the bell, that I would longer teach at a public school. This was in 2013 not 2023--this wasn't a COVID kid, this was typical for New Orleans public schools. I went overseas, taught at a private school in Africa, and the children were respectful, funny, kind, and never abusive to teachers. They also could speak multiple languages and at age ten could write English essays that would put a high school student in the U.S. to shame. I'm now a college instructor and I have such empathy for younger K-12 teachers in today's world.
If she didn’t alert parents to their children’s continual destruction of classroom supplies, at this claimed rate, and just sent out a ridiculous list like that at the end of the year/whenever I suspect the teacher was grifting. I say this as someone who taught elementary school art for 12 years to up to 600 students a year. In addition to the supply budget provided, I brought in all sorts of materials, books, puzzles, stencils, etc, for projects and art centers, that I bought on with my own money, and mostly from thrift stores. If a student was tearing up, wasting, deliberately breaking things more than 1-2 times you talk to the child and tell them if it happens again you will alert their classroom teacher, call their parent, &/or send them to principal to talk, etc. Maybe that teacher did, because we know they most often don’t do anything, regardless, but you don’t just suddenly present a $370 bill due to damage home to students , counting that very specific many puzzle pieces, etc. SUS, imo. I left teaching too, and know how some kids did those kinds of things, too. The school I was at was in an upper-middle class neighborhood where a particularly intimidating gaggle of mean-girls grown up snowplow mothers whose perfect little 🤥angels were one of the biggest obstacles to peace and resolution, along with the pass-the-buck forever kowtowing to them administrators. Basically it only takes a handful or two of oftentimes passive-aggressive, undermining power-mad bullies to ruin it for teachers, and it hurts the entire classroom, too, of course. IMO If you haven’t yet, please do a video on those kinds of military-grade helicopter parents, haha. Great channel, btw.
Absolutely!!! I was the first kid to have a cell phone at my school back in 2000. I drove 25 minutes from home to school so it was a safety thing not a fun thing. At 18 i still had to turn it in to the office on my way in and pick it up on my way out. Secretary had an emergency one day and was gone bwfire me and i couldn't get it until the next day it took at least an hour to convince my parents I didn't lose it or get it taken away. Lol that secretary felt awful when she realized she forgot too and told me to behave and keep it put away and she doesn't need to hold it. Lol texting didnt exist and the only game was snake so no worries there. Lol!
How would you incourage someone who wants to be a teacher.
Just curious as to where he was teaching at? In a suburban school district or a poor inner-city school?
This year I have noticed everywhere I go from restaurants to stores to anywhere- there’s often a kid throwing a total tantrum and the parent just doing nothing.
How awful it’s become. My sister retired from teaching in 2020 for this very reason. She taught college students in cosmetology, and they were horrible, she liked teaching and is a professional cosmetologist, but teaching was a different story. Students would play the teachers against each other and lie, always trying to get one or the other in trouble, causing conflict amongst the staff. She was part time and shared the class with another teacher, at the end of the school year she advised she would not be returning and she never looked back. It’s not worth the stress it causes.
Then they grow up and get jobs. I'm (supposed to be) a supervisor in an operating room. I've been yelled at, laughed at, had people refuse assignments, had people walk off the job without notice, etc.. Nothing happens to them because we're all about kindness now. It's dangerous to attempt to do emergency procedures in this kind of environment. I am retiring this coming Monday, and I couldn't be happier.
The problem is many teachers live in la la land & want to be liked. It's a job. Be professional. Do the work without becoming emotionally entrenched. The less emotionally invested you are, the less stressed you will be. That applies to every job. It's about having realistic expectations. Teaching is a noble profession. But know what you're dealing with & figure out how long you intend to.
All the coddling and making excuses for kid's poor behavior has gotten us here. When I was a kid, ADHD was called "sit down and shut up" 😂😂
