NYC problems.
Normal places do not have even 1/10 of these problems. I hate to be unsympathetic, but oh well.
Wait, the same teachers that continually elect and re-elect Democrat Progressive as*holes that allow the chaos these teachers claim they are experiencing? /s
The fruits of a city - and a state - that has shaken their fist at God.
Somebody had to do it...
But they can’t connect their behavior to the values they’re being taught.
I predict soon the teaching profession will be a majority of foreign born instructors. More and more American born teachers will be worn down by the disrespect from students and lack of support from the administrations. These fed up, demoralized instructors will then leave these positions in ten years or much less.
There will be a big push to hire more instructors. Close to a panic. Some states will either reduce the requirement of testing for a license or waive the requirement at point of hiring completely. You could say “I will work at taking the test within my first eight years of teaching.”
There will also be greater use of robotics as teaching tools.
The robotic systems have no feeling programmed into them (yet).
School teachers do not have it easy.
Until society holds parents responsible for the upbringing of their children, schools and their teachers will be more and more overwhelmed with children nowhere near on academic grade-level and without behavioral self-restraint.
Our society has passed responsibility for child raising to the schools, and they are, of course, not equipped to do it. (Nor should they be.)
In the mean time, parents face ZERO consequences for terribly negligent parenting.
The teachers have little power. The politicians have decided that certain minorities will have all the power. They have the power to totally destroy any good teacher.
Then the “children” grow up and go into either the world of work, or the alternate world in which they are paid not to work. The suckers who actually work are made to pay those who don’t.
The suckers who work are blamed for all the problems in the world, while the parasites are given benefit after benefit, all paid for by the suckers who work.
I certainly believe this to be true. These same loser kids came into the military and caused chaos. We schwacked them and then kicked them out, most with a criminal record.
Sad but oh well.

Once children figure out they can get the teachers in worse trouble than they themselves will ever face, there’s no holding them back.
All they have to do is fabricate a racial taunt, a homosexual slur or a sexual assault accusation and the teacher will get fired and the kid will learn victimhood is a means to an end.
So are all student equally disruptive, rude and disrespectful?
Is there any correlation between this behavior and ‘equal outcomes’ in school discipline?
Physical assault and violent classroom disruptions must be tolerated for fear of lost Federal matching dollars.
you think some of the rednecks that will leave comments here are gonna think it’s a teacher problem?
One already is spouting about NY and he couldn’t give a #### about you or your problems. To quote “hate to be unsympathetic but, oh well”
Naive Hick. It’s just a NYC problem. His head is so stuck in the sand i’m surprised he can breathe.
Why do you let them destroy the place you live in all the time?
#### that.
Staten Island is great and I love it here.
Ahhhh, the rotten fruit of secular humanism coming full bloom. We turned our kids over to state schools for a few generations, add in the media / entertainment complex, a little hedonism and nihilism to get the stench just right and vola, the perfect brew to surrender to the Democratic Socialist state. Gramsci and the Frankfort school knew what they were doing back in the 20s and 30s, culture trumps everything.
Lots of problems up here with kids’ behaviour as well.
If they want to blame someone, they can blame their own Ministry of Education. They were the idiots that brought in the whole child-centered learning theory, which embraces the silly notion that you will damage self-esteem if you do anything other than tell kids how wonderful they are for anything and everything they do.
We have a problem getting school bus drivers as well because the kids are such brats. They don’t listen to adults who tell them to remain seated and converse quietly. They’re horrible.
I used to volunteer in our local public school years back and I was stunned at how noisy and chaotic it was back then! They need to get back to the old system where every kid had their own desk, sat quietly, put up their hand when they wanted to speak, etc. It worked....even for those kids from dysfunctional homes. It was the structure they needed.
So why do the teachers stay? I have changed jobs if I did not like the employer or I thought it was dangerous. Just a bunch of crybabies and the students know it.
Same exact thing as when Soviet factories would report fake numbers to meet the 5 Year Plans.
The state of New York recently passed a law requiring prospective school teachers to take a literacy test to get their license, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of whites failed the test on the first try, while 54 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks failed.

In other words the State of New York is knowingly putting a large number of illiterate teachers in classrooms.
Maybe that has something to do with their “horrific experiences.”
De Blasio and his Commissioner of Education want to unleash these feral kids on the small number of schools in good areas and selective schools, for example, Stuyvesant.
