Girl, Teachers have one of the most difficult jobs. On top of ALL the requirements you have then you are dealing with children that have NO RESPECT for anyone then the parents AREN'T ON THE TEACHERS SIDE. GOD BLESS YOU. and THANK YOU. 😊
It depends on the teacher. My children's school district posts their previous year's salaries. I don't know what everyone teaches but some of the salary ranges don't make sense on my end. I have seen anywhere from $46,000-$100,000+. I don't know if it is the subject, number of classes, how many different subjects or what. I may also depend upon if it is a college credit course and considered a CTE (Continuing Technical Education) class. I know that the superintendent was making a hefty paycheck though, far above the teachers. I won't even get started with the athletes and what they make, that doesn't make sense to me either.
@@hgib3I’m willing to bet that no teacher is making six figures. It’s most likely some kind of admin that makes that. Some professors make six figures, but that is NOT even close to a salary any normal teacher makes. Also, even if your school somehow pays that much, does that mean all these other teachers are lying about their low wages? You can even Google the average salary of teachers and see that they’re low not even close to six figs.
@@hgib3 The discrepancies are usually due to cost of living. Teachers in Northern California can earn up to $100,000 late in their career, yet the cost of living (rent, housing costs, taxes, etc.) in those areas is extraordinary. In other areas, like rural areas, teachers may cap out at $50,000 because the cost of living is much less.
You are SPOT ON! I retired from the Air Force after 32 years in 2019. I substitute teach now and will only do it 2 days a week. Schools today are day care centers at best
As a retired teacher, I said the same thing years ago… YEARS AGO! In fact, district admins were told to sub one day a week, just to remind themselves just how hard it is. School board members should do the same! Oh, wait, most school board members do NOT have teaching creds but make decisions for respective teachers & students. Maybe they visit buildings, which they should, unannounced, to see what a trying day school staff can have. I get it, my teacher profs.
Yes yes yes. I quit teaching and pulled all three of my kids out of public school. The insanity of ALL of it... too much for grown folks, too much for kids. So so so fun to meet you tonight at the world's best ice cream shop!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I think everyone should be responsible for entire week, including a all duties and a parent conference. I absolutely love, love teaching. Most of my family and friends get my “sitcom” version of the many things that I have encountered.
Yes!!! I had a parent chaperone on a field trip and she spent about an hour in the room before we left for the trip. After that the mom said "I don't know how you do it!" It was an eye opener for her to see what we do in school and that was only an hour.
Yes, field trips are usually an eye opener for parents. I've had numerous parents say the same thing to me after chaperoning a field trip and only being assigned a group of 4 or 5 students.
I'm a custodian And have been 14 seventeen years. And i'm telling you these kids are out of control it is crazy. They need to send out a link for the parents to visit a classroom virtually without the kids. Knowing and see what there are your boogers do
I don't think that would work out because of FERPA restrictions. Parents can only have information about their own child. Classrooms have too many students for a virtual visit.
I think everyone should have to teach for a MONTH so they can see how much we TRY to accomplish (planning, copying, grading, meetings, conferences duties) AND actually teach students and meet their emotional/developmental needs. Teachers are truly miracle workers.
Girl, it's definitely a calling!!! Thank ya'll so very much for all that ya'll do to educate our children!!!! Prayers for peace, comfort, success and lots and lots of patience!!!!
I agree with you that every parent should sub for one day. I retired after teaching high school for 33 years. I retired at age 70! There was a situation where I could have stayed on one more year and I could have taught one more year and earned $10,000 more( the governor gave every teacher a $10,000 a year raise). Anyway, I chose to retire less money but peace of mind. I loved my job for many years but the last year I was burned out! I am glad that I chose peace of mind over money!!!! Elizabeth Goodrich, Texas
I love your contribution ❤ You sound like a fabulous lady! I feel like I should caution you: Be very careful about using both first and last name and where you live. Creeps are all over the internet! They could steal your identity or your life. Stay safe please!
I did substitute teach right after I graduated from college. This was in 1992 and the level of disrepect I dealt with was unreal. I can only imagine how bad it is now!
@beesknees: Lmao, what? No teacher makes six figures, let alone more. If you wanna complain about people being overpaid, you should go after the men who make dozens of millions of dollars each year just from running after a ball.
God bless you 💛 May God comfort you and fill you with His peace. Let them speak out of ignorance. Thank you for all you do for your students and the empowerment and awareness you strive to give to teachers and the public. 🙏🏾
They still would not know the pressures teachers have from the state and school boards. The pressure for high test scores, the angry parents, the stifling curriculums, the lack of supplies. Subs don't have to deal with all those issues; all they would see is the horrible kids' behavior. Teaching is horrible in this country.
Girl, preach. I left the field two years ago after 20 in. The only difference was my principal was all about herself and the kids didn’t know what she looked like. Makes it worse than it already is. I miss my kids and love them so much, but some days I wasn’t sure I would make it one more. I’m writing a book about all the secrets we have to keep as teachers just so we can keep our jobs. Almost all of them are of the gaslighting, intimidation, retaliation, etc. Spring Break will be here soon!
I teach preschool currently, and also working towards my CDA so I can teach pre school in the future! And yes, it's a calling and teachers do so much for their kids and HAVE to be creative!!
I will be honest, I am almost never absent because I am afraid for substitute teachers. Before I am absent I make sure my students know that if there are negative comments left by the sub. that it will not be a good day when I return. I love my kids, I am a high school teacher, but they can be very mean to a sub. This year I have had to break my streak of not being absent for 7 years and the only reason I was absent was because I had to go to IB/AP training. Before the 7 years I missed due to Jury duty, Parents we do not complain about being a teacher, I love my job and I love my students. I have been really lucky this year with the students that I have, what we complain about is everything else that comes with teaching. Behavior problems in the classroom should not exist, if you help us out with your kids behavior at home, we (meaning me and the rest of the students in class) can make it a successful year and we can focus on what we need to learn. I enjoy teaching but we can use a little of your help. 🙂
We should make it mandatory for parents. If your kid goes to the school, you have to substitute one year a day. Like jury duty. I think parents AND students would be better behaved lol...
Hence why I chose to not go down the teaching route especially after a friend (who was student teaching at the time) was told to go back to China despite her being born and raised here in the US...
I AGREE TOTALLY! I sub, 24 yrs now, and all the haters & naysayers would get a LIFE LESSON! Hands are tied in triple knots. Getting thru one day....haters deserve to be required A WEEK! Teachers are at fault when kids refuse to work, disrespect all adults? Ok, not every kid, but more and more as each year goes by. Getting close to retirement, I take it day by day now. I admire & feel for the young teachers who really try and then public school reality sets in.
T Totally 💯 agree, all grades included. From elementary, middle and high school! I had 21 years in an elementary school as a TA, I understand where you’re coming from.
I love this idea! You’re amazing and it is so important for you to voice these realities! And you’re a goddess for being a teacher! The most important job in society.
You speak the truth, some of the sixth grader in my city are just disrespectful. I am a substitute teacher and some of those students are just not right! Many of the students like the ones in Junior high and high school have their heads and eyes on their phones. I am fortunate that the classes that I sub for are mainly well-behaved. But, girl, there are some that I am like. OH HELL NO! BYE!
I’m a substitute teacher people always be like “ god bless you” these kiddos get worse by the year parents need to grow balls and be parents so we don’t have too ❤
Shiiiiiiiiiiddddddd, sometimes it starts on the buses if they have to take the charter buses everyday. Them kids are bad asf. As a matter of fact, these parents know how bad or aggravating their children are cause during covid they couldn't handle or want to deal with them either.
I have been thinking about substitute teaching again. Not middle school, though. No thank you. You deserve all the Kudos, 47 pounds of chocolate and a million dollars.
Amen! I did because my child's school needed subs. So I did it part-time, took some time off my job once a month to sub. It was truly an eye-opener!!! It's not even an eight hour shift, I was tired at the end of the day and a new level of respect. I did enjoy subbing though but definitely slightly understand the struggle.
Girl, they wouldn’t even need a whole day! A couple hours would do it! No time for bathroom breaks, no consequences, and admin continuing to pile more expectations on their plates. And THEN the behaviors on top of that! 😏yup! Go sub!
The problem is very real. To the point schools can't even let teachers have a sick day because there aren't subs available to cover classrooms. The "other jobs are hard too" argument is an attempt to turn it into a suffering competition. That ain't what teachers are trying to do. They're sharing what problems they face. The kids are mentally checked out and their parents aren't holding them accountable for their behavior. It's not a teacher's job to raise their students.
Yes!!! I subbed one time for a middle school class in a private school. I DO NOT have class management skills 😂. From then on I ONLY subbed for the PreK 3 or 4 as an aid ONLY. So glad my kids are out of school so I don’t get asked any longer. RESPECT FOR TEACHERS
I’ve subbed and after the first day I questioned each teachers well being that I subbed for. I’m not being funny but there’s no way their mental well being was great in those conditions. Students were drastically academically behind and still passing I could go on and on. Combine that with very little if any support from admin… very sad!
Tell it girl! We need to go back to when parents were parenting, holding their kuds accountable, goving consequences, & being responsible & accountable themselves! The school districts across thos country also need to stop enabling & allowing parents to "run" the school & let teachers actualky teach! The country needs to stop bad-mouthing teachers & we need to be respected & treated fairly. Better pay, better working conditions, & support from our school boards, district personnel, admins, & parents!
You are hilarious, but I think you are invaluable as a serious voice for teachers. I hope you will consider doing a serious TedTalk in this voice to explain to people succinctly what is going on. Please consider it.
My mom was always chaperoning the class trips and working in the school in the computer lab to see what was going on. Granted, I was a good kid and everyone picked on me so she wanted to see what was happening so when she went to the principal she would have her own she went to the principal she would have her own evidence. More parents need to be mandated to do this!
Good idea. However, seeing how children act out in public is enough to make me know I could not be a teacher or a substitute teacher. Not that we were angels back in the seventies, but compared to now days, I think we were saints.
I agree teaching is a thankless job but in my experience as student we were on better behavior with a sub though the teachers at time would've tripled homework and put whole class in detention at even a whisper of misbehaving. Man all the times I was stuck in detention cause of other kids acting crazy the behaved kids became wardens to the trouble makers real fast.
There is a sign on every corner in my neighborhood this August... begging for substitute teachers. I just cannot participate in this era of no responsibility parenting. I do think a draft/jury type pooling is an excellent idea. People who have not taught do not understand.
Best friend, you’re being too nice: they might get an easy day. Nah, I need every parent to get sub pay for A MONTH straight, every year!!! The ghost might leave some of them who don’t understand with a quickness 😂💯!
I think at the beginning of the year. All parents. Should be required to go to their kids classroom and hear the rules in person. So they know in person and cannot say they didn't understand the consequences of them
Sadly, these same students grow up and continue the behavior at college as well. Many of the admins at college are using the same "ideas" as those that are admins at public schools. They feel the instructor is the problem and the students are right.
Yes we did sign up for this...but I don't know about you...but seems things have gotten a lot worse over the years. If parents only knew what their kids were really doing on those restroom emergency breaks that parents insist the student is not deprived of...they would be shocked.
Agreed! Parents and children feel entitled and believe their children do no wrong. Sadly, many students have no respect for themselves or adults. Parents are not parenting because in my day- you feared the wrath of the parent if the school called! I retired in 2020. I started subbing and o tell everyone: America is in trouble! We need to empower the teachers and not the students. What I see is absolutely a broken system!
Check with your school district. They all have similar but different processes and requirements. Some require a college education. Where I live, you just have to had graduated high school and pass a background check.
The problem is that there are teachers who deserve the high pay and then there are those who need to get paid less. I wish there was a way to make merit pay actually work for all school employees.
Spot on!!! 🎯
Girl, Teachers have one of the most difficult jobs. On top of ALL the requirements you have then you are dealing with children that have NO RESPECT for anyone then the parents AREN'T ON THE TEACHERS SIDE. GOD BLESS YOU. and THANK YOU. 😊
Also, the fact that we can pay a sport player $1,000,000+ a year and teachers squat, sadly shows where the priorities are
It depends on the teacher. My children's school district posts their previous year's salaries. I don't know what everyone teaches but some of the salary ranges don't make sense on my end.

@hgib3 : I would love to know which teacher makes $100k+, as you claim. I've never met any teacher in my almost 30 years who makes that.

fucking preachhhhhhhhhhhhh, these kids are wildin and wanna act grown and tough, but dont know the difference between there, their and they're.
Two, to, and too.
Peas, peace, and piece.😮😮
ALOT is NOT a word, it's TWO WORDS
Or 8 x 3 = ???? In 7th grade! Or how to capitalize the first word of a sentence. We could go on all day.
@@ruthnelson4513and still don't know it in 11th grade.
You are SPOT ON! I retired from the Air Force after 32 years in 2019. I substitute teach now and will only do it 2 days a week. Schools today are day care centers at best
Also I think all lawmakers and school board members should be REQUIRED to substitute for a full week.
This. Not jury duty, but lawmakers. Because they make laws that cause my life to be heck.

A week would be amazing! THEN they REALLY understand the 4,000,000 things a teacher has to do on top of dealing with outrageous behaviors!

I’ve said this for YEARS! It should be a requirement for EVERYONE.
The first subs should be legistlators!
Same that people should be a server.

Chile, when I quit, I left during Spring Break. I had to go on medical leave it was so bad.
I was a substitute teacher for 10 days. The middle schoolers about killed me
I can’t believe you went back. I walked away, and never looked back.
Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!! Just like jury duty. This is a great idea and needs to be done. Lol...preschool too
I'm dying laughing! Yes Ma'am that is the dang TRUTH!!
Yes!!! And what is it about 7th grade? I teach 7th through 10th... only issues are with my 7th graders!

begging for substitute teachers. I just cannot participate in this era of no responsibility parenting. I do think a draft/jury type pooling is an excellent idea. People who have not taught do not understand.
teaching is hard in general

💯💯💯💯💯
I think at the beginning of the year. All parents.
Should be required to go to their kids classroom and hear the rules in person. So they know in person and cannot say they didn't understand the consequences of them
Nuh uh, I did 4 years as a Para in SPED, I've done my time 😂.
We need that, please!!
Please exempt former teachers from this, please!!! LOL
Sadly, these same students grow up and continue the behavior at college as well. Many of the admins at college are using the same "ideas" as those that are admins at public schools. They feel the instructor is the problem and the students are right.
Yes, please.....
I love you I feel bad for Teachers!
10000% agree
I absolutely think parents should be required to spend at least an hour per month in their child's school

I agree.
Sometimes, Im glas I sub because if I dont like the class I dont have to come back lol
Yes!!!!
Truth sis ❤
Teachers are way under paid for sure, especially when y'all have to put up with disrespectful brats
How do you go about becoming a sub/teacher?
Check with your school district. They all have similar but different processes and requirements. Some require a college education. Where I live, you just have to had graduated high school and pass a background check.

Worst jobs to have 2024:
Teachers
LE
Anything to do with the public
Agreed
Totally agree
The problem is that there are teachers who deserve the high pay and then there are those who need to get paid less. I wish there was a way to make merit pay actually work for all school employees.
Love you bestie - I think you mean Hear my heart…
