Do these kids just not have parents? Are teachers unable to get parents to require their kids leave their phones at home? When I was in high school we had Nokia phones that did basically nothing but calls and snake.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoParents (many uninvolved, many demanding and unrealistic) and administrators (kowtowing to parents) grind teachers down until they leave. I recommend no one be a teacher in the US. It’s mostly daycare for those who can’t homeschool or private school, for whatever reason. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40053774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40053774 (Search “parents” in r/teachers on Reddit for more, being a teacher in the US is a shit show; I have helped more than one teacher switch careers to save them from public education)

- rdtsc 2y agoFor all the rhetoric about saving our children, the best for the children, etc, it comes to putting it into action, we do the opposite: no respect, low compensation, sending kids to school without any manners or respect towards the teachers. Administrators are no better. They change policies year to year, more paperwork, more training needed, more rules. A lot of them have never been a teacher even.
