Is anyone else so sick of the student behaviors that you’re applying for jobs too? This isn’t what I signed up for. I get the kids had trauma from the pandemic and even continue to do so. But no one is doing anything about it on the other side, the healing and re-learning side. At this rate, we will have 24 year olds telling their bosses about the pandemic problems and how the world owes them because of it, oh and here is my list of accommodations for my job…

Yes, please!

I understand where you are coming from. But we can only do something about the problem within our area of control. I think the re-learning side is that one area we have authority over, let us do our best to help them recover. These kids need us more than ever.

Nope. I didn’t have the fun making the thing, I’m not raising it. I signed on to be a teacher, not a parent or social worker. I know that’s what they need, but society needs to STOP trying to make everything teachers jobs. We aren’t trained in trauma care for this and could very very easily do more harm long term than good. Take the stupid reward systems everywhere now. It activates the dopamine part of the brain, thus rewarding the students and more or less, building in the routine of I deserve something for every action. They become addicts. Used to be the reward was accomplishment. That built character and determination. Yes, teachers got more cooperation out of them. Give a stoner their hit and they’ll cooperate too, but it is only making the matters worse

It’s so frustrating! I feel like I’m told to get through the grade level curriculum, meet kids where they are, focus on social emotional learning, fill in the gaps, teach the standards, make sure kids can recite the success criteria, progress monitor (general education students in small groups), differentiate instruction but hold all kids accountable to the same expectations, and be a behavior specialist while also teaching a class of 20 - do this with no help, no support, and oh yeah here’s a brand new curriculum to learn and teach well by the way don’t print copies in your room, plan ahead and send copies over early but the copier might break so always have a back up plan.

It’s TOO MUCH.

First year teacher and I’m already looking for another job. All my classes are at least 30 kids, and the behavior is overwhelming. I’ve been called so many names by my kids, assignments are either never completed or just turned in with “suck my d**k” written on it or worse. Fights are almost a daily occurrence one of which involved one kid chasing and trying to stab another student with a pencil but only broke the skin if I had not pulled him away in time. What hurts is that I have a small handful of kids in each class that genuinely want to learn but the rest don’t care to learn anything or listen. I used to be an aid at another district and they had issues too but it is nothing compared to what I’m seeing at this district. I cry too and from work everyday that I am actively seeking a job elsewhere in anything I can apply for. Since school started I have just gotten so depressed. I get that the pandemic changed things and the students have trauma but this behavior is far more extreme than I ever imagined.

I agree that the behaviors are totally exhausting and to be honest I am actively working on leaving for this very reason, but I wouldn’t blame it on the kids. I believe we are seeing the ugly side of anxiety, depression, and regression. This is something the schools are not equipped to deal with on a grand scale, imo

It definitely says something when it now takes 6mo or longer to get a mere counseling appointment for treatment. That’s a change, too.
