This teacher says if you ever wonder why people are leaving the teaching profession in droves, this is one of the main reasons.

She has students that she has written an incident report on every single day. She has contacted the principal and the support staff and the help that was given to her was to email the parents of the students. Basically, no help or support at all.

We have many epidemics in our country but this is one of the biggest that doesn’t get enough attention. We all know our school system is a failure but even more than we know. Students these days have zero consequences. They are passed with straight F’s. They are allowed to be a continuing distraction and disruption in the classrooms and nothing is done about it.

We need to start over. 💯

Why do we allow this this as a school? As a district? As a city? As a state? As a country? It didn’t use to be like this? This is why other countries surpass us in education, there is no discipline in our schools.

Would you want to be a teacher in this day and age at a public school?

God bless this man for spelling things out for these students. Don’t get things twisted kids of all backgrounds&races aren’t showing the same respect to authority figures as we did. I don’t know who is at fault but I am grateful this man is taking the time to open their eyes👏🏻👏🏻

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

Somewhere along the way, student accountability disappeared.

We talk a lot about student outcomes.
Test scores. Data. Growth.
But we ignore the one thing driving all of it.
The teacher’s experience.
If teachers feel supported, trusted, and valued,
they are 6 times more engaged. Thats makes for a dynamic learning environment

[Ken Williams @unfoldthesoul]

When a district tells me their PLC is “going great,” I ask one question: as evidenced by what?

Too often the answer is agendas, meetings, SMART goals, and conversations. That’s a participation trophy.

Show me the data.

EduFables™ are changing educational PD.
Why?
Because people don’t remember slide decks or checklists.
We remember stories.
Stories are how the brain learns, how culture is built, and how real change sticks.
This is PD that doesn’t talk at you…
It speaks to you. You see yourself in the stories.
A story can shift a mindset.
A mindset can change a school.
That’s the power of an EduFable™

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

You don’t build culture with plays.

You build it with people.
• It takes trust.
• It takes respect.
• It takes caring about others.

That’s what makes a real team👇

🚨Call my class boring. Complain about doing the same thing everyday.

Please. 🙏

I’ve stopped chasing engagement and started chasing real learning that lasts.
