Student violence pushing teachers to quit | NewsNation Prime 

The root of the problem is that parents are not held responsible for the actions of their offspring.

Wait, what? Teachers aren't allowed to defend themselves? If this behavior happened 30 years ago and a student hurt a teacher, there were consequences. This world has seriously gone mad.

$100,000 salary ISNT ENOUGH TO TEACH!!

Don't blame you at all !! You don't have to deal with children or not being raised correctly by their parent, Children live what they learn and they learn it from home first from their parent

Kids are paying attention to the news. Anyone who does something a kid doesn't like goes to jail or gets sued. They've come to the realization that they're untouchable.

This women deserves better. Good for her for getting out. ❤

She said it well. Teachers are treated like "disposable objects" by students. "Trauma" is just an excuse. She should get a job at a unionized public school. At least she would be paid more.

That is upsetting that these parents are becoming afraid of their own children. Then expect some other parents to raise or teach them. What should have been taught at home, before they entered grade school. To respect your elders, Teachers and Staff in School or in public. I love the generation I grew up in, because our Teachers had plenty of RESPECT!! All across the board. I would have never thought some day would turn out like this. Sad times for the teachers, students and the parents. I can imagine some Teachers probably not trying to acknowledge their Students when they see them in public😂😂

I am a teacher 25 years and that is the problem administrators want to keep parents happy the system allows students do whatever they want teachers are blame for every thing teachers spend more time disciplining than teaching salaries sucks where I live state used to pay our health insurance now we have to pay it when you retire you pay all the sick days that you had accumulated now they pay only half in short is a hellish job

Some parents should never have children. If the parenting is done right, the students would behave appropriately in schools. It is the parents who give birth and performs zero responsibility in raising the children. Divore is another horrible thing that has horrible effect on children. Parents who cannot stay together should never become parents. Teachers are there to teach and not be parents.

I am a certified elementary teacher who is also a black male. I left America about 30 years ago and have been teaching in the Far East all that time. I encourage other teachers to follow my footsteps because teaching overseas is a totally different and rewarding experience. While teaching in Taiwan I had 3 apartments. One apartment in the main city and two apartments were GIVEN to me (rent free) by the public schools I worked for. Fully furnished, two bedrooms. The school also sent to my house a personal driver to take me to the school and bring me home. While working in Mongolia the school paid my air fare to get to Mongolia. Upon arrival they slap into the new teachers' hands $700 of cold cash to get settled in the country. They also gave us free housing. In Japan the schools had an annual staff field trip. Some schools flew their teachers to Hawaii (fully paid by the schools) to stay for a few weeks. It was a great life. Consider teaching in another country. New addition: This is how I ended up in Taiwan in the first place. The Japanese school I worked for took a staff field trip to Taiwan and I loved it. I loved it so much that I decided to teach in Taiwan. Oh, and lets address the elephant in the room, that party you guys have in America called gun violence in the schools, they don't have that tradition in the Far East. Civilians are not allowed to purchase firearms.

School policies that conform to CRT ideologies, particularly "restorative practices," put the needs of defiant, disruptive, and often violent students over the safety and well-being of good and respectful students, hard working teachers, and learning progression. This policy undermines classroom management, safety, and leaning. It sets a precedent that willful defiance, disrespect, and disruption are acceptable behaviors that won't have consequences. Who didn't see the end result being student apathy, teacher burn-out, and the collapse of learning.

Kids are supposed to test limits. I did, and got grounded for an entire summer. Enough testing for me.

Can't pay me enough to do that job.. whatever happened to detention? The strap? Principals office? Getting expelled from school?

"I wish we could fix this problem in this country!" We can fix it. But those tasked with doing so won't fix it. Where there's a will, there's a way. Where there's no will, there's no way.

Send a thank-you card to your local politicians. Liquor stores and abortion clinics were open while your schools were locked. Please wrap your mind around the priorities your politicians and "health" department put in place.

It starts at home. If the parents don't straighten up these children. Then the children will still be living at home when there 30 y/o, because poor Johny can't read, write and do basic math.

It is hard. I've worked with a pre-kindergarten student who just punched our assistant teacher in the face, near her eye. She had to step out because she could not believe what just happened. She started to cry. It's a tough job, and some of these parents are not disciplining their child because of their tempered actions.

Someone made the naughty list that year.

Jeez, NewsNation, it happens too often that "there isn't enough time" for the interview - why even have a guest when the guest isn't allowed to communicate effectively?

I'm 35. I was taken out of school due to a learning disabilities from 4-7 grades. These kids are just like I was re-entering the school system. Yes, trauma does exist and is certainly impacting them. But can you imagine being granted all the flexibility of remote learning and it being taken away and you are forced to go back into a system that is basically like a corporate office?! And have the emotional maturity/ hormonal rage of kids?!?! I'm sorry but I think these kids are 100% right to be flipping out when we are forcing them to pretend the same flexibilities aren't available anymore with a better level of technology than before the pandemic. It's not on the teachers to deal w/ this- this is clearly no support from the out of touch, can't be bothered administrative staff.

I have been teaching for almost thirty years. My kids are great. My admin is fine. My parents are kind. I will keep teaching until I can't get up anymore. I think many teachers put too much of their life into it. Its a job. Do your best, but don't kill yourself. You can't save the world. As for violence. I have broken up a few fights in my day. Teachers are 100% allowed to defend themselves if necessary. On the other hand, if it is a serious fight teachers are not required to step in.

Back in my day there used to be a thing called a belt…

Teachers should actually be teaching and not telling kids to ram their faces in a Chromebook.

It's not going to get better either. It just keeps getting worse and public schools are not what they once were.

Better of teaching kids with physical disabilities.

I don't know what exactly it was, but this interviewer left a really bad impression based on this. Her responses were disrespectful, she kept cutting the teacher off... big yikes. Teachers are expected to do so much and they provide such valuable education, they're severely underpaid and underappreciated, and it's obvious that the cons far outweigh the pros. I don't blame teachers for quitting one bit.

so groomers are quitting teaching? good!

Let’s ask Obama woman what to do ?? She always seem to have an answer for troubled kids . Since she’s so into the CRT being taught . Ugh do you think these kids have even a chance ??? FN
