My first year of teaching, 17 years ago, there weren't enough students enrolled in my "specialty" class so they asked me if I could teach two other classes of World History. I said fine, I can get help from my colleagues and get acquainted with the material, etc. Then they said it will be a class where the students don't speak English. They will all be Spanish speakers. I still said fine. They said great, the class will be pretty small to accommodate you. Only 18 students or so in each class. Before I knew it they said forget that and they combined the two small classes of 18. I then had 36 Spanish only speakers in a World History class (a class I had never taught) and then then added one more student. Now I had 37 students and only 36 desks. Gee thanks.
JJ😱
I’m sadly not even surprised
I taught a class of 41 3rd Graders my third year of teaching!!! Admin. realized they had over-enrolled that grade level after it was too late. That was a year from HELL. Some of the students were decent people, but still an epic failure on admin.’s part.
There isn't a teacher shortage. It is a retention problem. I was non reelected so the district could hire an "emergency credential" and save money. My friend with 20 years experience was harassed out of his job to save money.
If you have a high school diploma and you are not currently a registered sex offender you qualify for an emergency credential. Teach with no experience , no education , no training, NO KIDDING ! Sorry kids the qualified teachers have left the building.
My mental health company does the same tactic to get people paid too hidg out unless you meet 2 criteria which you can easily guess that I cant post about....even though it is fact not gossip
What state are you in
Yep.
Teaching is very much like trucking: too many expectations, too much blame, too much time involved, often too dangerous, and too little pay.
So many credentialed teachers and CDL holders who just can't do it any more.
Sad sad sad
In California a sub has to have a BA.
No lie: In my first teaching job my classroom was a former choir room with risers. The desks were exactly the same width as the risers, so every time a kid squirmed or turned to talk to a classmate, their desk slipped off the riser. Since it was high school, they loved it, and it didn’t bother me. However, because I entered teaching in my 40s, my knees did not appreciate having to go up and down those risers to help kids with assignments. By period 8 I asked kids to come down to my desk for individual help or just stay after class if they could. I had five preps and some of the nicest kids I ever taught.
I’m 48 and go mountain biking and walk up and down the stairs multiple times a day. It’s not your age that’s the issue with your knees. It’s probably sitting down too much which causes joints to atrophy.
@@remlya I mean it's a combination of both.
@@remlya sure because every has the same body right?
I've seen this too in my local city school. I never thought of this! I just thought more of the litteral unlevel power kick feeling they were above the adult incharge it created.
I also taught two years in a choir room (6th grade, Math & Science) and the desks had to be sideways and facing each other or they didn’t fit. Got a great workout those two years!!
You forgot the "hire more administrators" plan!
Every day I thank the heavens that my favorite teacher talked me out of going into teaching.
A true one
I have a memory of being traumatised in a physics class when a typo on a circuit diagram led everyone to use the wrong component for the load - circuits exploded all over the classroom when they were turned on. So getting a tradie in to take a class might not be such a bad idea. You could spend an entire week minimum talking about the microbiology of a properly functioning septic tank - and another week talking about how it can all go horribly wrong.
Here's an idea - why don't the board members step in and teach a class for a week, seeing as they all seem to be self-professed experts and 100% certain that they know exactly what teachers are doing wrongly? I'm sure they can get all their planning, marking and admin done between 0830 and 1530 around classes - they can show the actual teachers how it should be done. What could possibly go wrong?
They tried teaching at my school, every student got a detention because apparently “we were” the problem
I want to see that! Also, being undermined for being teachers by everyone around them, including school staff who aren't even in the teaching profession and especially parents. 😂On top of all that, being invited to school meetings while not being a "priority" grade. I help with a Pre-K teacher and the undermining-ness, the disrespect they receive from all directions is real and far worse than any of the other grade levels I had ever worked in, while at the same time meeting all of the demands and quotas from the state board, local board, the school you work in itself, and the Pre-K program... it is bad! I would love for all those on the pedestal do what these Pre-K teachers go through while being told in every faculty meeting that they are not valued the same as the other teachers. That rubbed me in the worse way possible, especially after seeing the hard work, effort and amazing-ness that Pre-K teacher has done and continues to do. Bless teachers like her. 😎😘🥰 They are truly rock stars.
Someone in the trades could definitely teach a lot - I interned with an electrician one summer and learned more than I did in a year of physics class.
That first part just seems like a CTE class, get someone with experience in the field to teach, so that the students can learn what is important in the career
@@poffzihavenoidea531 I mean, I would have loved hearing about how the abstract subjects would apply in different career fields. I never expected that geometry, history, sociology, psychology, physics/other sciences, etc would be needed or have a place in art or graphic design, but they did. It’s a good answer to "but when will I ever use this??"
Even though it's only mid October there are twelve teachers out of 42 who have stated this is their last year. Super's solution. Tell the board his goal is 90% retainment. Problem solved.
Huh.
One of teachers just left the school second quarter and she’s gone now I need to Start a new course
I guess the super never taught (learned?) math. 90% retention of 42 would be 38 (37.8 to be exact. Or did I miss some weird algorithm to determine retention?
I don't get it.
@@michaelwarren2391 You ain't the only one to notice. He was a shop teacher for a year and half then managed to get out of teaching and became a grant writer, then super.
Support staff member here. After all of these years, I am ready to say enough. Totally drained. The local grocery store pays more than my job.

1000%! It's true! I could make more at UPS
Does like all the money just go to the upper level staff or something?
Teachers unions are remarkably powerful organizations, are they just siphoning off your guy's money?
My local public school got like 4x more money than the private school I went to.
@@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683 During our last round of salary negotiations (this spring) our school board flat out told us we were an expendable commodity and if we didn't like what they offered, we could go work for the local grocery store as the wages were comparable. I have never been so angry in my life! I have been an intensive needs para for 15 years. Zero respect from our school board. We ended up going to mediation and agreed on an % amount higher than our teachers accepted. Fast forward six months... a quarter of our support staff has quit to take higher paying jobs and administration can't fill the empty positions. And those of us who have stayed are being asked to do more and more. I predict that parents will be starting lawsuits as their children's IEPs are not being followed.
‘Good news is they lowered the substitute teacher requirement to just having a pulse, bad news is still no one showed up. Except for one lady who was a middle school teacher who taught for 30 years, but we couldn’t verify a pulse’… as a substitute teacher myself, I just about died laughing 😂😂🤣🤣
"Taught in middle school 30 years. She doesn't have a pulse." I'm ded and buried over this.

Or they could try raising pay and dealing with discipline. Just a thought.
Can’t discipline kids because parents who don’t want to discipline their kids don’t want anyone else disciplining their kids.
Do you even know what a union does? Stop it. Just stop.
@@ruthbaker5281 Hi, Teacher here you;re comment is 100% correct. That " thing" is a Troll . Ive noticed many here either from Troll Farms or just people who enjoy getting attention and arguing with people = They dont watch the entire video if at all .... Thanks for your support Its not that there isnt enough Teacher's , alot of Teachers are just exhausted and feel debased .... Peace
@Forcedtolie Aboutblacks WTF are you talking about? The union fights for better pay for us! Without my union, we’d probably make $10,000 a yr!
I left teaching in the states due to parents, low pay, meddling administrators, misbehaved disrespectful kids and politicians running education. Im ready to start teaching overseas again abd suggest to every American teacher to get overseas and enjoy teaching.
Maybe we need to allow other schools to headhunt teachers middle of the school year to keep admin in check
We do this in the UK, there are 3 deadlines throughout the year where we can give notice and then transfer to another school (summer, Christmas and Easter move dates). I've known a teacher move on at Christmas and be tempted back by Easter... It's relatively rare and pretty challenging to pull off well though.
We could cull the middle schoolers. Fill the sprinklers with acid, just dissolve the most annoying years, shift the teachers around through elementary and high school and once we need to teach middle school again hopefully someone will have figured out a better plan
My cousin went on a rant for *hours* about how horrible things are in the classroom...Thanks for being you, and being an excellent teacher!
Yesterday, I got a letter from my state's department of education asking me to come back to teaching. I feel bad about the situation, but not that bad.
What state? Do they really think any of us were just fooling around when we decided to leave? These people are so deceived.
@@motogirlz101 Michigan
@@johnlarson505 I'm in Cali. They haven't asked me to come back yet but I know for sure there is a shortage. Subs are really hard to come by also.

Huh. He was able to say what was on his mind and the FBI didn't kick his door down faster than a cop knocking back donuts.

We are in the same boat
I’d love to see an administrator subbing. That would never happen in my district. Instead they just put all the classes together and teachers lose their planning time.
A high school diploma is all that's required for subs around here right now. 😬 And we still have a critical sub shortage. 😐
Same here
Same our admin had to sub today. We are fully staffed this year but everyone is constantly sick and no subs.
Where is this?
@@altoclef4989 best name. I’m a violist 😂
Yep. What does that tell you.
weird, it's almost like the admin has been brutally mistreating the teachers for the last 20 years, and are now facing the consequences of a situation they helped to create. For some reason people think it's unfair when the admin staff make twice as much working a less stressful job.
@KATHRYN BAKER yeah, Kathryn, makes a lot of sense that admin required confirmation, because we all know how teachers _notorously_ overbill their hours and are _constantly_ padding out their hours 🙄
Why stop at only one witness? Why not require two witnesses for every shift? Just like how they prosecuted crimes in the Old Testament. You need two witnesses, or I'm just going to assume it never happened.
@KATHRYN BAKER That's an ass-kicking where I'm from.
@@wolfumz what do you mean “overbill”? Teachers in my district don’t get paid overtime (pretty sure most public school districts don’t pay overtime), please tell me the school that pays overtime, I will move in heartbeat, between three preps, grading, lab prep, and more my day does not end when the last bell rings…
@@Vgiannoutsos I'm debating delating my comment, because you are not he first person to misread my comment. I meant for it to be sarcasm. I had italics and an eye-roll emoji to hopefully signal my sarcasm.
Sadly, this issue is so heated, and there's so much animosity, that people mistake my sarcasm as a genuine comment. That's not at all what I want to communicate.
I just quit after finally coming to the point where I could no longer survive on the pay I was receiving compared to local rent. The principal was subbing in for multiple classes a day, crossing guards were teaching classes, it was a mess. How about we give the teachers the salary they deserve so we don’t have to quit and wait tables to make ends meet. Loved the video, all of y’all keep your heads up out there!
Here's a thought. Maybe your local rents are high because your local school taxes are high. Landlord has to pay high taxes, ergo he has to charge high rents. I work in electronics and I wish I could make what the local teachers make.
@@jmazz1127 My brother-in-law is an electrician. Any time he wants to swap salaries is fine with me.
@J Mazz And landlords shouldn't have to create an income by working, but relax and wait for the rent to drop in, covering all his expenses and imaginable wishes and needs?
Without school people wouldn't be able to get a job, it's a basic necessity for everyone and a human right! Of course there are school taxes. Without school you wouldn't be able to write a comment on youtube, which is part of a company, that makes huge money, but is paying too low taxes by the way...
@@valek7700 Chip on your shoulder?
Uh, no, that’s not it.
In Quebec right now there are "hundreds of vacancies" to fill in education, but they are all at most 50% of a full job. They prefer creating 10 jobs at 12 hours a week and then blaming the public for their staffing shortage rather than creating full jobs
I live in Canada and certainly haven't heard that before. What level of school are you talking about?
Hehe.
When I first started teaching, "You are qualified for Years 1 - 7 but did most of your teacher learning in Years 3-5 so we will only offer you work in those years."
Monday, "We need a pre-primary teacher and a high school teacher. Which one do you want to do?"
If more academic freedom was given to teachers instead of over-the-shoulder micromanagement, I would have seriously considered staying.
But alas, some administrators need to feel like they're in control and mold every teacher to their will.
Yep...that's why I'm leaving.
The pay is why I couldn't deal with it. I worked as a substitute for a year. I liked the flexibility. If they raised the pay by 30 percent I'd go back to it.
That doesn't make for good charts.
@@tyrant-den884 What does that mean?
@@lisadiconti it means it's more important to the modern way of running things that everything can be broken down into simple data, summarized in a chart to a bunch of people in a meetingroom somewhere who will never interact with a student (movie, tv show, video game, art, government, hospital, etc); so they can make all the decisions, pat themselves on the back, and give themselves a pay raise.
I lost it at "we're going to weekend at Burnies this" LOL!
i feel bad because i am one of those "young idiots" that may have replaced a more older experienced one to sub for a prek teacher. but the thing is, they didnt even require a training period. everything was learning on the go, i didnt even join orientation week to learn about everything because they offered the position to me after it happened. and then admin is like "why dont you know this and this" and im just sitting there getting scolded wondering how they didnt know that i literally was unemployed right when orientation week had ended. my first impression was that they have terrible communication skills. but i value the teachers that have all that experience! i feel like a fish out of water being one of the youngest staff members but the teachers are very helpful. admin, not so much. and yet it shouldnt be the other teachers jobs to teach me. so many expectations yet so little support. i remember seeing my own teachers struggling and now i get it. apparently a large portion of young teachers quit within the first few years. i hope i am not one of them, but i feel like if covid continues and the lack of support doesnt stop, then i will be part of that statistic sadly. i love kids but dont see it being worth it in the long run.
This is literally my state Floriduuuh. Even with the financial bribes, I mean pay increases teachers are like byeeee…🤙Leaving in 2020 was the best decision ever! 👏🏽
There's so much corruption in the school board, it's not even funny anymore. No one is held accountable for the tens of thousands of dollars spent on equipment that breaks
One of my brother’s teachers quit and now makes more money working at a laundromat.
I teach in Korea. On getting "the wrong kind of dolls", with Corona last year some of the Korean baseball teams filled the stands with dolls and one went viral from using obvious sex dolls.
Wrong Korean doll 😂
Almost burst my hubby's eardrums with my laughter on this one!! You outdid yourself! Love it all and they all work so well together, one leading to the other.

Especially when admin treats the staff like complete garbage.
Who needs to put up with that?!
I think kids could learn a ton from a master plumber
I had completed 60 hours of college credit by the time I was 19. So yeah, I subbed when I was 19. Half the students were ones I was in high school with. I quit after one day.
Wow. Just wow.
Haha...everyone should have to sub in their lifetime....
@@kkmomma09 yep, it makes cleaning someone else’s toilets look like a good job.
I retired in June 2020. The situation was so crazy with Covid quarantines that one day I was assigned to teach grades 1-5, plus P.E. for grades 2, 4, and 5. Normally, I taught an experimental K-2 inclusion class. A mother took the Kindergarteners to the shuttered pre-K room and let them play all day. (If any learning occurred, I think it was there.) Since I could not possibly be simultaneously in the classroom on floor three and gymnasium in the basement, I pulled responsible 8th graders, and one 7th grader to “teach” P.E. Totally illegal, but the classes were streamed live on Zoom. One eighth grade girl did a better job than I’ve ever seen the P.E. teacher. Oh, and btw, when all five grades were in the room, there was just not enough room for everyone to sit, much less be social distanced six feet apart. Everyone helped to drag nearly all the furniture out into the hall and we sat or squatted, Asian style, on the floor. For myself I kept a single student desk and sat on a large yoga ball. I’ve seen open air schools in rural Africa and India with everyone on the ground, resting their slate or notebook on the back of the pupil in front of him. I showed several video clips of this, and we tried it with varying degrees of failure. Everyone wanted to write, but nobody wanted to be the table! We survived and everyone learned, even if not the objectives set for that day. That was a Tuesday. By Friday, a mere fraction of the huge group was in class. It was also a lesson in how to spread germs. Most everyone tested positive for Covid. A few became very ill. I was in that group at age 67. I refused to go to a hospital where I knew they’d eventually intubated me, most likely a death sentence. My friend drove all the way from Kentucky to New York, bringing the Ivermectin they use on her therapy horses. It either worked or I survived both Covid and Ivermectin. God knows! Come May, I knew I could not do another year. I’d been considering retiring before Covid struck, so this made up my mind. No, sorry! I must decline the pleas to sub for everything from the front desk to A.P. Chinese in the high school. For what it’s worth, I can count from one to ten in exceedingly poor (so the K-2 students tell me) Mandarin.
I became a teachers assistant during my undergrad. Freshman history is abysmal with what is being sent to us.
I have a Master’s in library science and have worked with children in public libraries for years. But that doesn’t qualify me to work in a school or a daycare here in Canada. Love how the education system works. Unless you have a specific piece of paper that says you’re qualified, the door is shut and I remain unemployed because, as it turns out, there aren’t very many library jobs.
I'm in the exact same situation. Master's in graphics, taught two years in a college, but can't teach high school without a certificate.
Did you not know beforhand?
I have one also. I changed states. New state had reciprocal agreement with new state. Although I had 17 years experience and a masters degree in English, some university ta wouldn’t sign off on English certification in new state because transcript didn’t show class in teenage lit. But I taught that class at university level. No matter I could teach English at 7 -9 th grades, but not higher. Wouldn’t a class in teenage lit be more useful in those lower grades? And what about the reciprocal agreement?
It’s the dumbest shit. Here in Texas we’re required to have 2 years of teaching experience before we become a school librarian.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, anyone who’s had enough of the “right” classes and *any* work experience can get a teaching position. They have asked me several times if I want a permanent position. Nope.
I accidentally watched this on 1.75x and was so impressed with how quickly you got all those pop culture references manically jammed in there. lol It really added to the panic your admin character was trying to hide under the Toxic Positivity.
You're hilarious and heart-breaking at the same time. A good admin is hard to find and I feel like they end up wearing targets on their backs. Working in a school office really opened my eyes to how much back-stabbing and political maneuvering interferes with being supportive and involved with teachers, parents, students, and staff. It was the straw that finally made me give up on that school. Discovering that other schools had even worse political games going on made me leave teaching.
I don't want to be besties with the principal; I want to teach.
I'm a college student and this is just hilarious. I don't even have to be a teacher to know this is beyond true. Love the videos 👍
I even talked about the teaching shortage with my professors from time to time when I was in college (engineering). They took the job wanting to do research. but not enough staff, so all they do is teach. and they are getting burned out. all the college cares about is record setting enrollment year after year, with no regard for making sure they are getting students smart enough for college. and they keep adding more and more new worthless degrees to the list every year to get those enrollment numbers up..
Personally, I think more people would be willing to come teach in classrooms if we were allowed to wear cameras like police officers do. A big part of the reason that teachers don't want to work in classrooms in my state is because of the risk involved. Of the four schools that I have worked in, three of those schools had teachers who were let go based on accusations of sexual misconduct within the past decade. Most of those situations had no proof to back it up, but the accusation was enough to destroy a career. The students, while academically ignorant, are not socially stupid and are Master manipulators when it comes to spinning reality to their advantage.
When you have 1st graders plotting on doing something evil to get their sub fired - yes, 1st graders! - who would want to sub? I got so fed up subbing for classroom teachers while my planned and scheduled specialist classes got tossed out the window. I always knew when I was tagged "it" for the day as that was the Only time the office would greet me in total as I came through the door. At one school I couldn't even get one foot out of my car onto the parking lot without someone from the office flagging me down from the front door. Their mistake. All I needed to do was crawl back in the car and barrel out of there. Dang - too chicken. Retirement is Wonderful!
Why stop with cameras?
@@StopWhining491 ... because camera surveillance is enough to safely hold everyone, including the teacher, accountable. You'd understand if you ever taught in a classroom where 40% or more of the middle school students have serious behavioral disorders (including oppositional defiance disorder, bipolar disorder, and emotional impairments requiring heavy-duty antipsychotics) and/or histories with the juvenile detention system... brought to you by the opiod epidemic and permissive "parenting."
Wow great idea!!! They can play back their child being an a hole!!!!
It’s a great idea all the way up until you have to try and defend the argument that “So you’re going to be recording my children?”
So I worked at a daycare for a while and we where already so under staffed but there was a fire during nap time which means the majority of the staff was on break and out of the building so I got to wake up and evacuate 3 full rooms of toddlers by myself. So that was fun.
Omg your a superhero!!!
I once took a teaching job at a private school thinking it was going to be better than public schools. Boy, was I wrong. They kept adding more stuff to my work load and I just got fed up dealing with that and all the self-entitled brats and their parents.
Education: the internship is not only unpaid but you pay them.. Why would there be a shortage?
That's a big issue, but as somebody that tried being a student teacher, you're not even treated all that well during the process. You pretty much have to listen to the sexist and racist b.s. being talked about and aren't allowed to stick up for yourself if you're beng screwed over. You're completely at the mercy of the school and you don't even have to do anything wrong to be out.
Then you see that the conditions aren't that much better for working teachers, mostly because they won't hire anybody unless they are willing to go along with the madness.
It's not shocking that things are this bad.
@Chris L. You are so right. I finished student teaching in the summer. It felt like I was in jail. I got treated like garbage by my main teacher. It was terrible, one minute she would be super nice to me then turn on me but everyone else was great. I still have not entered I to a classroom yet even though I am certified. I am waiting until next year bc of the stuff I am hearing. I am working full time right now for a family business and no stress. Although I want to go back this year is not the time.
Just having a pulse. That is so true. We've had a sub show up smelling of alcohol. Told at least it's a body in class. Had another sub fall asleep in class. Again told at least it's a body in class
“Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.” woody allen. and those who can't teach gym, become administrators, and those cannot administrate, well, they taught at my school.
“We got all the Jack and Roses out.” Hilarious! 😊
The root of the problem is no one truly wants to be a teacher in this day and age. Hold parents and kids accountable, that’s the first step to solving the teacher shortage. Not make teachers be responsible for everything for the parent and kid. Parents and kid need to take some responsibility too. Govt to hold parents accountable for their kids academics, not the school doing the job of a parent for them.
Exactly the reason this is my last year in education. I have more than 10 years in teaching and have a masters degree which is useless. I have been under the microscope more this year than my first year as a teacher. The morale is pretty bad at my current school with all the teachers.
LOL, during the "pandemic" when we were instructed to separate the students 6', they also crammed them into our rooms like sardines.
When I worked as a substitute at Job Corps, two seasoned teacher retired at about the same time because they had enough. So I got called in to teach reading and math classes. After a student break, I came only to find out that the few handful of good teachers walked out. I had about 50 students in my class. Then I was expected to make teachers meetings as though I was regular staff. That’s how they do it.
Sometime no teaching got done. I taught them budgeting using my own experiences. Or why are you thinking about a serious relationship with some one who smokes weed and you don’t. . . It will always be friction for the relationship. Those students needed to learn stuff like that too. I’ve gone too far.
“Bad news is the kids get shot if they move” 😂😂😂😂
🤣 I lost it when you brought up squid games 😂🤣👏🏼 hilarious
I'm here before your channel blows up. You have fucking amazing humor. I think you will make it big. Maybe big but I think one day you'll hit a million. Keep up the good work!
My students are all about the Squid Games! I say let’s do it!
Guess I’m gonna have to break down and watch it. Even my kindergarten students are “playing” it at recess…🤦🏻♀️
@@dorismidge8762 that’s too funny since in the show I would just call it marble game

We'll turn every classroom into a college lecture hall!
This sounds eerily close to our staffing discussions at the Sheriff's office.
There are so many issues causing the teacher shortage it's a huge problem to unravel and there's no one solution. Politicians hate anything complicated so they won't do anything, or they will try to apply a one solution that will inevitably fail.
Loool the oldest kid in the class becomes the teacher
My second year of teaching was in a rural, poor school system working with deaf and hard of hearing students. I taught kindergarten through eighth grade all at one time while I ate lunch with books that were 20 years old. I had to go into a condemned school building on campus to find them. I had 3 aides/interpreters that went out with each child to resource classes. The next year wasn't much better.
At one of my old schools the community had to come together just to start giving teachers a house to stay in, meanwhile our superintendent was bragging about making 100k per year and using our welding shop as a garage for his motorcycle that he rode through our gym on the first day of school and left it in the welding shop for months after.
Absolutely disgusting.
The system needs an absolute overhaul!
@2:35 "We're going to 'Weekend at Bernie's"" ...ROFL!
Great one, Devin! Every escalation of 'fixes' had me laughing harder. If things keep going the way they are trending, they'll be automating those 'fun' dolls for real sooner rather than later. 😬😆😩🤦
Already had me rolling within 5 seconds
Teachers, should be allow to report misbehivor of the kids in real time to their parents, and if the parents don't help to correct their behavior, They should the kids that misbehave, they need to be sent home the next week to do remote learning until the parent and the kid learns that their disruptitive behavior and bullish behavior is unacceptable.
So, I think hes on to something with that field idea.
The problem would be finding enough people to watch the kids during field time.
Anyway, have half the kids in class while the other half is in the field before lunch, have morning class group do lunch first, then send them out to the field while morning field comes in for lunch. They then have class the rest of the day.
Another problem would be finding what to do with them during storms and extreme cold.
How long are schools going to continue with the “teachers don’t care about low pay” charade? What if we whacked doctor’s pay - according to those setting teacher salaries that would make no difference in the quality of care or the number of new doctors. This is just stupid beyond belief. The shortage of new teachers, and the lack of quality teachers is so simple: smart candidates can more easily make more money by entering just about any career other than education. Smart teachers just go into administration which is where the money is in education careers - and then they hope that the teachers they administer do not catch on.
Teaching is just a job. We care about the pay. You are exactly right.
@@rc6184 I wouldn't ever describe it as just a job, but it makes zero sense to think that teachers do not need to make a decent living to support their families and live a normal life. Its like a bad joke: they take surveys that play on teacher's desire to give back to society - then they say "see, salary is not the number one concern of teacher's according to the survey." But the one big thing missing from those surveys are the would be teachers who took on other careers because of low teacher wages.
Admin don't care if we get planning and grading time
I was friends with a teacher in college who was so overwhelmed that she didn't actually read my Final paper. I was one of like 10 students who's final she didn't actually grade, since we'd been doing well enough throughout the year. She was up every night until 2-3 am desperately trying to get everything graded on time. She was 2 days late. It wasn't like she didn't know what she was doing either, she'd been teaching for a decade. She's quitting teaching this year to become a locksmith because they make more money and don't do a 1/10th of the work.
We had a staff shortage, so my admin hired all FIRST year teachers😲
as a first year teacher myself … 🤣🤣🤣
So far I've been working 8 months as a night custodian for my school district and am getting paid more than I ever was after 19 years as a paraprofessional.
I'm currently teaching and honestly, they don't want teachers who care and want the children to succeed. They want people who are tired, babysitting, and riding their time out. People need to leave the profession. We aren't respected nor are we paid as we should be.
Keep them coming. Lol
When I spoke to my principal about his lack of interest in academics last year - the focus was all on "mental health" and "don't give parents any grounds to sue" (seriously!), his response was, "D, look around you. How many of these kids are going to get any schooling past high school anyways? You know this is a poor community with high unemployment."
WHAT?! If YOU don't believe in them and inspire them and want more for them, how will they want it for themselves?
I retired midyear.
@@dking1362 I agree with you.
YES!! Pull the fire alarm! And, of course....
Add in ANYTHING from City Slickers and Squid Game!! It's our only hope as teachers!!
My first teaching job was in a brand new college - you want chairs? No one has chairs. You want a whiteboard? Well how about this state of the art interactive screen! You want it to work? Nope!
You’re awesome my friend. Love your humor. Thanks for saying everything I wanted to say in 20 years of teaching public school. Refreshing. Many blessings to you.
✨❤️🧡💛🙏💚💙💜✨
My coworker switched to part time and my work literally just gave me her students. Didn´t even tell me, thought I just wouldn´t notice that I have literally TWICE the workload.
Maybe you could do video of teacher and students working in gale force winds in classroom after admin had new ventilation system installed to reduce aerosol transmission of covid.
Oh lord!!!
Your classroom has windows?
"One of the bodies popped" cannot hold the giggles! Next up: avatars and robots will be in the class. God help us all.
"how close they are to the proximity of the balloons" lol hella tight 😎😂
You are lucky you had a chorus room I started band in the gym on a stage while they held P.E classes at the same time with no heat. On a snow day I had snow falling on me during class. No exaggeration. Oh and there was a huge birds nest in the rafters overhead and when the percussion section would play the bass drum it would rain crap from the nest. Again no exaggeration.
My classroom was next door to the room used for beginning orchestra and band. Nothing like the sound of dying geese while you are trying to teach. The music teachers at many of our schools were on the stage with P.E. in full force inches away.
My school had a bat problem. Tons of them living in the ceiling. Didn’t do a thing till someone called the news.
I taught band in the cafeteria. Right after lunch. Food all over the floor and the kids had to move tables and chairs to set up the space, then go steal music stands from the other half of the band in another room because there weren’t enough. No board, no resources. and I wondered why the kids weren’t motivated to play… I lost 20 lbs from stress that year.
Ooo, goodness, the Korean doll joke! 🤣 That was about as risqué as I can recall hearing you. Loved it!
Here's the reality of PAY SCALE differences between jobs. I once had a 20 year old, or something, young, show up to change my iPhone screen glass. I asked him how much he got paid to do that 10 minute job. He said $50! I asked, how many on average he does in a day, and he said between 4 and 6. So this KID made between $200 and $300 day for basically working on the phones for a total of an HOUR, plus some driving to different places, and made as much as I did or MORE than I did, after 29 years teaching plus an equivalent to a master's degree. Yay, you heard THAT right! And my student load as a shared, traveling music teacher, as shared staff, was around 4,000 students! I made about a DOLLAR per student, per class, in a month.
I've been reading where many States are outsourcing teachers and bringing a lit of teachers from overseas.
Sounds like an off-shoot of Russian mail order brides.
My county brought in 60 last week from overseas. 2nd fastest growing county in the US, and they still couldn’t find teachers. Maybe it’s because we are in the bottom 90% on pay.
I noticed this trend too. Hopefully the dont get back logged on shipping containers... I know too far.
Why is this better than what admin actually does? I wish my principals were this proactive XD
Applying this to my nursing career...oh the parallels
Seems too smart for a school meeting, you must hold these people in high regard.
OMFG, I am dying. This is so accurate and so good.
LOL 😆 AND all the hoops we have to go through to get a license !!
Have you ever seen Catch Me If You Can? Kid became a substitute teacher.
I’m pretty sure this is why they are trying to force online learning
It’s a lot easier to make 1 teacher do 50 kids online at the same time then in the classroom
The problems with online learning is that you don't need a teacher for that, at that point you could learn by yourself since pretty much everything is on the internet anyways.
Another thing is that some people NEED a teacher, they can talk to and ask questions, in person.
I loved my kids and loved what I did but I couldn't take it anymore.
Funny how the admin tries to solve the problem...but they are the cause of the problem.
I guess this would be funny, if it were new. I began teaching in 1980. So I got to watch this cycle. All created, manufactured by the government. First you have a teacher shortage. I should say you create a teacher shortage, by making the conditions of working so unfavorable only a few, young idiots and old ready for retirement, teachers will want to stay. and of course you need to advertise how bad conditions are. you know, to get the word out. after the shortage you flood the market again. offer incentives, repay your student loan options. reduce class size...Make commercials saying that teaching is the greatest job you will ever do. Employ all the people who can't figure out what to do with their lives. Then we go back to making a shortage. All this is to control salaries, pensions, teachers and children, administration, parents and world perception.
Interesting.
Umm you make these people way smarter than they really are. It's called mismanagement. Epidemic everywhere
It’s not a US centered problem. It’s a worldwide problem. In general there’s a labor shortage in all sectors.
You did septic pumpers dirty.
"increase class size" when i was in highschool like 10-14 years ago we were already far over the legal amount of students to a single teacher
This went from believable to funny to horrifying to hilarious.
I need to do one of these with a software engineer this is funny
If so many administrators weren't so disrespectful toward their teschers, maybe more would stay in the profession.
You are preachin’ to the choir buddy.
at my school theyre useing the coaches to fill in needed teachers and they have scricpts to use to teach class
Packed tighter than underwear on magic Mike!!
Bwahahahahahaha
Love that BATMAN 89 reference. Great job with this video.
Hiring some plumbers and electricians as teachers might be the best thing they could do! Kids might actually learn something!
I'm honestly not surprised if this is what actually happens at staff meetings
