      I’m honestly surprised it’s not more common. Especially in the US. I see nothing but horror stories from teachers about how uncontrollable kids have gotten in recent years. Plus videos of teachers being attacked by their students, or just straight to getting shot by them.

      This generation of kids is causing so much trauma for teachers these days, it’s insane.

            Education is certainly underfunded, but I don’t see how you can blame toxic kids and parents on that. Sounds more like a symptom of a couple of generations of atrocious parenting to me.

              Part of the reason toxic kids and parents exist is because administration doesn’t support teachers either. It’s an entire system of issues.

            Bro, you can ‘fund’ it as much as possible and children are still going to behave like animals if they don’t have any home training.

              just strange I suppose that you don’t see this is systems where the education is better funded. granted it might take a few generations to really take hold. but funding education should be obvious.

          Yeah. A lot of the shitty parents had kids at a very young age this generation and we’re seeing the repercussions of that.

          You need to be able to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more kids raised by their grandparents because their actual parents are shit.

            I’d actually hazard a guess that on average, parents are older these days. I don’t think the issue is really young parents, it’s that parents don’t discipline now. They just shove a screen in front of their kid instead of having a meaningful conversation. Parents now were raised with somewhat instant gratification and it’s even worse with their kids.

            What?

            People used to have children at 18 (or earlier), most people now are waiting until their 30s if at all.

        I personally think teachers in that environment should work together and open up their own schools.

          How does that solve the problem with unruly children? It just puts them in a new school with more liability than when they were just teachers.

            Sorry, I meant to imply that this school run by them would have the authority to pick and choose who gets to attend.

            The unruly children would simply be barred.

          They do. They’re called Charter Schools, and letting folks online know that you’re going to send your kid to one is a great way to get downvoted. I have no interest in sending my kid to a rural public school system that is leading the charge against “woke,” whatever that is.

        My GF’s daughter is asking some of her teachers if she can put a voice recorder up front to record the teacher so she could learn. Because the students talk to each other over the teachers and literally curse out the teachers when they try to maintain order. I was shocked - 30 years ago, sure there were a couple of bad apples in some classes, but they’d get ejected if they failed to shut the fuck up after being told to shut the fuck up.
