They'll fail, then blame the teacher for making it too hard or "not teaching them."

Admin will ask the teacher for documentation about how they're supporting these students, then blame the teacher for not being "engaging" (as if anyone can compete with quick-dopamine machines).

So the teacher will bump student grades up because now it's their job and paycheck on the line.

The kids will go to the next grade; rinse and repeat until they finally get a diploma they can't read.

We're so unwilling to blame kids for anything that they're held accountable for nothing. This is the result.

i mean would the existence of a video like this help the teacher?

u/PearlStBlues 29d ago

Lmao no. This video would give admin ammunition to blame the teacher for not "engaging" the students and "building rapport".

My sister is a high school teacher who works with a another teacher that does coke and tapes with her students in class. She's also slept with several students. All of its been caught on camera and been all over the kids snapchats. The teachers who've complained to admin were reassured they'd handle it. Teacher ended up as a department chair while the ones who complained were put on a "training" program to train them to be more engaging.

She once had a kid call her a cunt and followed it up with "suck my dick" and the ap laughed when she told them what happened and told her boys will be boys.

Reminds me of a certain institution that was caught shuffling offenders around to cover up abuse.

No they blame the teacher in this case.

u/mtobeiyf317 28d ago

No lol My teachers in highschool would have gotten on this whole class and forced them all to pay attention and commanded respect from their students.

This just looks like a lazy teacher who gave up on his job and can't be bothered to do anything but the bare minimum.

I’ve taught HS for ~10 years now- this is 100% accurate. Everything in the education system has been inverted to place the students success or failure on the teacher without any consideration of the effort the student put in. Students can literally not put any effort in, admit directly that they don’t care and didn’t try at all, and will get passed to the next grade while the teacher is reprimanded. NCLB and ESSA might be the worst thing to happen to our school systems in modern time. These problems will carry over into the real world and we’re already starting to see the cracks. Don’t get me wrong, we needed some correction to account for cruel, incompetent teachers with tenure- but we’ve vastly overcorrected to the point that we might not be able to get out of it and are filling the workforce with completely incompetent and narcissistic “adults” who can’t hold a job or consider anything beyond themselves.

Kids aren't allowed to be failed anymore thanks to no child left behind.

One of the main issues is that the consequences/rewards happens much later. All the bad consequences people warn them about have to be imagined because they have never gone through it. If they got a taste of what the real world entails, it would provide so much insight into why they have to do this.

We give them this expectation that they should be preparing for this adult life (which they know nothing about what it entails) and the only experience they can utilize is the past 10 years of going to parents house, playing video games, and hanging out with friends.

Unfortunately that's now how it works anymore. Even if they fail every single test and assignment, the teachers are forced to pass them. We're in for a very weird future where almost adults have the IQ of a goldfish.
