Teachers are QUITTING, student behavior is getting worse, and educators across America are sounding the alarm about what is happening inside our schools!
In this Teacher Therapy reaction video, teachers share firsthand stories about Gen Alpha, student behavior, teacher burnout, lack of accountability, school discipline, uninvolved parents, administrative failures, grade inflation, and students facing little to no consequences for their actions.
One teacher says students can skip class, refuse assignments, disrupt lessons, and repeatedly break rules with few meaningful repercussions. Another explains why administration ultimately drove her out of teaching. Other educators describe students struggling even after lessons are gamified, notes are provided, accommodations are given, and teachers go above and beyond to help them succeed.
And then there's one of the biggest controversies in modern education: Are we actually hurting students by refusing to let them fail?
Teachers describe grading policies, retakes, credit recovery, minimum grades, missing assignments, and systems that can make it extremely difficult for students to experience the natural consequences of failing to do the work. One teacher puts it simply: we may be failing students by not allowing them to fail.
The consequences for teachers are becoming impossible to ignore. Educators describe overwhelming workloads, worsening student behavior, burnout, lack of administrative support, and feeling responsible for problems they cannot possibly solve alone.
As a former teacher who taught 4th through 8th grade in public, private, and charter schools, I can relate to each of these teachers!
What happened to accountability in schools?
Should students be allowed to fail when they refuse to do the work? Have schools gone too far in removing consequences? How much responsibility belongs to teachers, parents, administrators, and students themselves? And if teachers continue leaving the profession, what happens next?
Teachers, parents, administrators, and students, I especially want to hear what YOU are seeing.
👇 Do you think America's schools can turn this around, or has the system changed too much?

But when the behavior issues escalated to unmanageable proportions, I dipped.
I always assumed I'd continue to work in education - in a less demanding capacity - after retiring,
but I've changed my mind.
When I get them at the college level, they can't write or respond to a simple essay question without using AI, which they get busted for. They come to an advisor with a 1.0 or 1.5 GPA and dismiss that by saying "I didn't take high school seriously, but I'm super serious about the nursing program even though I have no math or science skills". Needless to say, they wash out within the first semester.
The people to blame for all of this are not school administrators. It's the parents. First and foremost and last. Because they dictate to the school administrators.
Teachers are going to start breaking off and forming their own companies and businesses where they are going to teach but for a tuition price. Parents who give a shit will pay it. Parents who don't will send their kids to public school.
For personal items.... Phone, make up, games, snacks, toys are what I can see. I peak in classrooms sometimes, Big screen TV's are
how teaching is done these days. Teach? I doubt it. Kids seem more interested in what's on their phone than what's going on in school.
90% Loud, disrespectful, unruly.
I have a printed list of "rules" students need to follow on the bus. I call random students up to read the rules to the entire bus, so they
understand. 5th - 6th graders on my bus struggle to read simple sentences. Attention spans of about 5 seconds.
they get on my bus what looks like 10 min after waking up with breakfast,.. Chips, cookies, gummies, soda, OMG!
The parents? (dont get me started on them)
But honestly, kids have no prosperous future in this country's downward slide anyway.
Dumb um down America. Our overlords are please.
The system and the poor parenting is dooming our children. God help us in the future!
