Nope. The kids are awful because of the awful parents of this sad nation.

Exactly!

Honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's everything. Teachers get no help or support. They're severely underpaid to the point where many of them have to take on an evening job just to make ends meet. Many teachers actually have to pay for their student school supplies. Classrooms are often overcrowded, many principals and superintendents are lazy and arrogant. Not to mention that there's always a looming threat that some lunatic could come in the school and start firing away because the US can't join the rest of the world and get its gun problem under control. It's just nuts. I'm hoping I can get a teaching job overseas because I would never want to work in America.

@@SomethingSomethingg I agree. I wish you the best of luck. Stay safe my friend

@@tru3293 You as well! Thank you!

Which is why it sickens me so much to see all of these anti-abortion laws be passed because we're only going to see more of this and it's only going to cause for the detriment to the country overall over this.

It’s called no home training.

Well I guess you'd know better than the teachers who say that it's the job stress, and the political madness, and the fact that they aren't paid enough to live on! Thank goodness they have you to tell them what the problem actually is!

Yes!! You're lucky to get 10-13 minutes of teaching done because you are constantly dealing with disruptive behaviors.

It sucks because I love to teach people things and I love to see people be inspired and have fun learning! But you're absolutely correct. I don't want to deal with all that. So my hope is that I can get a job overseas in a country where they actually respect teachers and where I don't have to worry about some lunatic coming in and shooting me.

One of the most intelligent comments I have seen

I have teacher who live in my neighborhood and they are making enough money to live in a nice house and drive nice care. This is BS!!!!

@@1lorijb Teachers who live in nice houses and drive nice cars are (1) married to $$ husbands, (2) inherited some $$, (3) don't have kids, or they are (4) working a second job.

@@bellagirlgirl8827I’m a teacher who is currently interviewing for other (non teaching) jobs. Pay is not the reason. My pay is decent. 1 year I worked for a Catholic school and the Kay there was basically minimum wage. Apart from that year, my pay has been ~middle class pay. Not wealthy, nor poverty. It’s the behavior issues that I’m constantly battling against day after day, month after month, and then multiple years in a row of difficult classes. Other teachers are quitting because they now have blood pressure issues in their 30’s and they just can’t take it any more. A lot of people (sadly) move up into administrative roles specifically so that they can get out of the classroom. Those are the people managing the rest of us.

Amen

That was a different era. Teachers are under a lot more pressure now.

You're right

*hire

that would be amazing. I think just enough to buy a home (in your area) should be the standard. Like people in CA and NY obviously should be paid more than teachers in Alabama. However, everyone should be paid a living wage where they can buy a house and pay mortgage comfortably

@@jaydel3 Great call !

Bump their respect @ 150K min...

Amen

Its done on purpose they bring babbling idiots to sway away from the real matter at hand.

LOL! Wow. The part about paying you enough to own your house is the rub! If you want that as an American teacher, you have a few options... 1. And, by far the easiest, is have family money that you can someday inherit, or, even better, convince your parents to purchase a home for you as an investment property. 2. Second easiest, get married so that you have another income in the household. But NOT to another teacher! Marry someone who actually makes decent money. 3. Get a summer job to make up for the months between school years when you won't be paid. Also, get weekend job for during the school year to make up for the cost of classroom supplies. Believe it or not, waiting tables is a favorite because, if you get a job at a higher priced restaurant, you can actually make some decent money from tips. Also maybe drive Uber on occasion. Oh, and you may have caught that part about the cost of classroom supplies and found that confusing. Yes, the average American teacher spends between $300 and $800 of their own money on supplies for their classroom. But, wait, you say...isn't it the school's job to provide teachers with supplies or at least reimburse them for them if they do have to purchase them themselves? Again, LOL! You should also know that if you plan to have baby, you can expect 12 weeks of maternity leave. No, not 12 weeks of Pregnancy Leave before 35+ weeks of Parental Leave. You are only guaranteed 12 weeks total under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993...oh and that's unpaid leave. Did I forget to mention that part? Yeah, there's no government-paid parental leave benefits in the US. If you're really lucky, you might find an employer who offers paid parental leave as a benefit in order to recruit talented employees, but whether or not they do is entirely at their discretion! When it comes to most school districts, the norm is for teachers to get 10-14 paid sick days (yes, days...not weeks), so teachers who give birth during the school year usually end up using their 10-14 paid sick days for that. Also, if you ever need an ambulance ride for any reason, you may end up paying up to $3000. Hopefully your insurance will help with the cost, but it'll depend on whether the ambulance service is in your network and whether the hospital that they take you to is in your network. So it's really a gamble and best to only get injured or have a heart attack near an in-network hospital. That's not necessarily a teaching specific thing, but if you're going to come to the United States, it's something you should be aware can happen. Oh what? You thought it was just that Americans are all too ignorant to teach? That there were no real problems that were causing a shortage of teachers other than how stupid Americans are? I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but LOL. If you're really interested in being a teacher, here's my advice...I'd get over your "I'm white so I'm a victim" complex. Talk to universities and ask what you can do to make yourself a better candidate as a nontraditional student, and reapply! Because you won't find salvation down here. And we didn't even get into the part about how you better not be gay or you'll get death threats from Moms for Liberty, you can be fired if your students don't score well enough on standardized testing, and you might be required tell students that black people benefitted from slavery!

You’re Russian so you’re bias. Also, the USA makes 24 trillion GDP. They could still help the education department and Ukraine.
