EXCLUSIVE Teachers are quitting their jobs in droves - as new generation of delinquent students push their patience to the limit

eachers are quitting in droves as a new generation of appallingly behaved students push their patience to the limit.

Born between roughly 2010 and the end of 2024, Generation Alpha will make up the largest cohort of children ever to live on planet earth.

However, the two billion-plus toddlers and pre-teens are already being cited for their illiteracy, unruly behavior and an uncontrollable addiction to screens.

Many blame lockdowns and school closures during the pandemic for the rise in bad behavior, while some are pointing the finger at Millennial parents who are opting to distract children with technology rather than properly discipline them.

Now a new bombshell study has revealed the devastating impact this has had on school life, with 26 percent of public schools reporting that a lack of focus among 'iPad' students has had a 'severe negative impact' on teacher morale.

On top of low morale, a separate April study revealed that 92 percent of leadership at public schools were concerned that students were not meeting academic standards, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

Two years earlier, NCES reported that 44 percent of all public schools were operating without a full teaching staff.

That year also featured the lowest job satisfaction levels among teachers of all time - only 12 percent - according to 2022 research published by Brown University.

In May of this year alone, 59,000 teachers and other educational staff quit their jobs in the United States according to a poll by Statista, leaving their thankless job in favor of a more 'fulfilling' career.

This is great! There will be fewer groomers on the local government payroll.

Send them home. Their parents will get the message when they don’t have any free daycare - which is what school has become for too many.

Compulsory Education needs to be ended. You can’t force anyone to learn.

Weak feckless principals who will not back up the teachers is also a problem here.

We are in throes of a slow-motion and largely bloodless revolution.

As Frank Herbert put it (paraphrasing): “It is the slow weapon that penetrates the shield.”

Who taught the Millennial parents how to parent?

Teachers didn't sign up to be jungle explorers.

Right. So you see many parents pulling out their children from public schools to home school them instead.

Last weekend went to a favorite breakfast restaurant with my Mom. We were drinking our coffee and waiting for our orders to arrive when a family of four was seated next to us. Mother & father, one boy about 7-8, and a girl about 4-5. They propped a phone in front of the girl and proceeded to blare out some cartoon at high volume. It got to where my mom and I couldn’t hear each other. We had to ask the waitress to let us change tables. It was so obnoxious... and there was a father at that table! Their kids couldn’t sit there with good behavior for a few minutes without screen entertainment?

So kids were locked down and frightened of death in 2020. Then they were behind, and their teachers were refusing to return to work in 2021. Many were vaccinated in 2022, and they have been subjected to endless psyops re trans and pervs in general. The pResident poser is a kid sniffer. Online programming which they access is truly warped. Their parents are indoctrinated to believe we’re all gonna die if Trump wins, and warning kids not to sink so low as to become Christian.

ANd then yesterday I watched 2 video clips of teachers saying that their 7th grade students are performing at the 4th grade level. One teacher said the kids ask questions all day like, “How do you spell ‘important’” or “How do you spell ‘window’?”
They read 4 short paragraphs and could not answer comprehension questions about the content.

2020 4th grade those students were locked down and masked
2021 5th grade those students were depressed and behind and couldn’t visit grandma or they would accidentally kill her
2022 6th grade many were vaccinated with experimental gene therapy, or were indoctrinated to believe they were doomed to die if their parents were ‘crazy enough to withhold the vax from them.
2023 - 2024 they are hearing Trump is Hitler and if he wins it can only be by cheating and he will destroy their lives. Their parents can’t afford food and clothes for school. One more parents can’t find work or lost their job.

“a new generation of appallingly behaved students”

More importantly, neutered and emasculated teachers and administrators. You can’t talk meanly to a student or punish them. Good luck getting the principal to support you.

My sister retired from teaching a couple years ago after 45 years. She saw it all. The number of administrators (who contribute nothing) grew 10X. None of the administrators or principals would support the teachers.

Now you’ve got 250 pound kid in elementary school beating up teachers.

For Generation Alpha, life is going to be nasty, brutish and short, thanks to the deep state and globohomo’s.

A world wide collapse is coming. No one is going to pull the welfare cart anymore. Single, liberal woke women will be the first casualties when uncle sugar is dead. It’s going to be glorious.

The GOP needs to latch on to this.

End government schools.
End Teachers Unions.
Push for School Choice.
Push for Home Schooling.
Push for high quality computer and video education courses for all ages.

The BEST thing about getting out the public schools is that students will totally avoid the “benefit” of the socialization.

What choices would a parent have if the only options are private?

Maybe, but maybe not. Unfortunately, I suspect that the ones quitting are the sane ones. Some of them may actually be good too. No self-respecting person wants to work in a clown-show.
