Make teachers spend 52 weeks with kids for $50,000 or pay them 30,000 with a degree for 36 weeks - if you think it’s a shortage now, try that and see what you get. Go sub a day at inner city NOLA school and get back with us. Maybe you can find a school around I10 and Louise street exit while you’re at it and get a double whammy.
You go do it. It's your idea to pay them $30k when they can't fill the positions for $50k.

Yeah if it was a public school, then you are most likely a liar.

I can thing of steps that have contributed to lack of discipline in the schools:
1. Two parent households on the decline
2. Households that are two parent often have two “working” parents. There’s no stay at home mom to help with the homework or teach Junior life lessons
3. Kids are increasingly being raised by TV and social media…very toxic
4. TV and social media are showing how cool it is to rebel against authority.
5. Technology has made kids and parents lazier.
6. Current generation of parents won’t discipline their kid, and won’t let others do it either.
This is a cocktail for poorly behaved kids.

God bless you friend. I was at a middle school in Caddo for 4 years and I aged like the President.
My wife is in her 23rd year in Caddo.... and trapped with the age / service credit conundrum (too young to retire at 25 years).
Hopefully she can get out of the classroom soon. Caddo is in a tailspin, its pathetic.

This is the biggest one.
If I got in trouble in school, my Mom would hear me out but had no problem calling me out if I was in the wrong. And would work with the teacher to address the issue.
Today? The first thing out of the mouth of a parent of a kid with issues is "Well, I'll sue you and the district" if you try to discipline their kid. Or "If you were a better teacher, he wouldn't act that way". Or "He's your problem between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm, don't bother me".
And I heard those in both low-performing schools and higher achieving schools (especially the threat to sue). It shouldn't be a shock that kids don't respect teacher's authority because their parents openly don't either.

I think I was surprised the most at how they just didn’t listen. If a kid falls asleep, I’m okay with it. I don’t know what they are going through and maybe they feel safe enough at school to sleep. But to blatantly ignore or respect anything we had to say, and just do their own thing was the most mind blowing part

There’s no attention span. I think that’s something you develop. Kids have always been hyperactive, but even back in my day you would combat that by putting kids in sports, sending them out to play, or simply telling them to sit down and deal with it. I couldn’t stand going to church as a kid, but my parents made damn sure I wasn’t going to frick around.
Nowadays, kids are medicated with actual pills, or given a daily dose of cell phone usage. The latter just plays into the screwed up mental state of kids.

I think you read what I wrote wrong. It was in favor to teachers.

Oh, I read it right. You are in favor of teachers, but assumed I wasn't, because I just stated facts and did not get all emotional, and assign anyone the homework of going to the hood.

Most teachers are only in them bc daily parents make complains about bull shite and the chicken crap administration whacks the teacher. You make any noise and they get rid of you. Union protection is all you got.
This. I'm a teacher and in the union, and this is my biggest reason. Parents go nuts if you look at their kid sideways. Some administrators will just a fire a good teacher in order to placate the right parents. Without the union you'd be walking a high wire without a net.
Also, unions don't always protect the bad teachers. About 10 years ago we had a teacher who was strongly suspected of doing some bad things with high school girls. The school couldn't nail him on that, but got him on not completing his lesson plans which can get you canned. At his hearing our union rep knew why they were doing this, basically getting Al Caponed, and told him tough luck we can't do anything for you and he was fired.

Exactly why I left the teaching profession and can’t stand posts saying teachers are overpaid.
Meh.
There are a lot of variables. Public schools suck because government bureaucracy sucks. But there are a lot of lazy worthless teachers who couldn't function in any other competitive industry. There are great teachers who would thrive in other areas but like what they do.
Increasing teacher pay won't change any of that.

Ours here in Wichita is actually really good. They do good with getting us raises and such and never got wrapped up in the covid shite too bad. I’m just not paying money for benefits I get without paying anything.

It's a generation of moms that don't discipline their kids and think it's the kids personality trait...
OMG there goes my little monster again...my kids are such sassholes.... OMG she is just THE MOST!!
Yea cause that's how you raised them you dumbfrick. No one else thinks its cute...your kid is a nightmare and it's your fault

I thought this thread was going to have a bunch of pictures of hot teachers to be appreciated.
I'm very disappointed.

I’m addition to the lack of respect shown by a lot of kids these days, it’s absolutely impossible to get these kids to sit still and pay attention to anything for more than 5-10 minutes. And for the older kids, keeping them off their cell phones in class is impossible..
Social media, smart phones, and everything else they love is absolutely destroying their brain chemistry, and it’s not going to get any better

I just did it at another elementary school with 5th graders and still the same results. Talking out of turn, not listening, completely disrespectful
Posted on 3/16/23 at 12:31 pm to Tiger328
maybe a part of it is teachers are a lot less respectable these days? obviously it starts at home but this is 100% a factor.
