The Common Core Curriculum, is not fundamental like the Basic Curriculum that expose students to the nine academic subjects ( with a textbook for each academic subject), because common core focuses entirely on English/language arts and math, is controlled by Corporate America is what most urban school districts have adopted. Common Core doesn't work for at-risk students which is why at-risk students don't perform well.
I could relate to this. I’m a career switcher and just started in the middle of the year last year. I decided to teach middle school history because I like history. I learned VERY quickly that the actual subject you’re teaching is a VERY SMALL part of the job. Fast forward to this this year, I’m doing special ed preschool. I decided to try something different. So far I like it but I feel it’s too early in the year to tell. This year will determine if I stay in teaching or not.
Quite a few SPED teachers say that their students are physically hurting them on a daily basis. The physical harm ranges from students spitting on them to students dragging them down to the floor and beating them until the teacher passes out in agony. SPED teachers are expected to accept that bad treatment as a part of their job. That is wrong to tell teachers that they have to be victims to be good teachers. That is the worst kind of gaslighting there is. I recommend that you get out of SPED even at the preschool level. In addition, parents have been known to sue if they feel the SPED requirements aren't met, even if they are being met. Most likely, the school will throw you specifically under the bus if that happens.
Great video! As a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to these mistakes. It's so important for educators transitioning into new careers to be aware of these pitfalls. Thanks for sharing!
Students just need the basics. I teach middle school and the students don't care about anything, not the topic, the content, the assignments, their attitude, their teachers nothing. They only can handle the basics and that's what we should be focusing on. One rule of thumb I've learned over the last 15 years is don't teach what you love. Because it's true they just don't care about SOSE or reading widely nothing. It is about testing.
Girl im not in education and i always have these thoughts. But i really enjoyed your point of view you have as a teacher. That shows that parent should also be active in their children's education.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For saying that the "Will Smith-Oscar-Incident" was a script. I saw that right away! And I think that the reason it looked so phony is that the ACTORS involved (Will Smith, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett-Smith, with her cue to her husband to stop laughing and to get on with the angry look) didn't have a better director to make it look real. But, hey, in the past 10 years, I've come to realize how super easy it is to fool the public (too easy and done all the time). So, the desired reaction was accomplished. Also, I put "actors" in bold type to highlight to anyone reading this that Will, Chris, and Jada make their living as professional pretenders. And they're very good at it!
And it truly is! I agree! They won’t let me teach them basics even though they can’t even read 🤦🏾♀️ so if we’re gonna mindlessly assign work they can’t do we might as well slide some history in there !
I love love love everything you've spoken. The children are seriously missing the basics and that's all I want to focus on. I don't like indoctrinating them either! I don't even tell my students to place their hand over their heart during the pledge of allegiance!!!! Ugh don't get me started!!!! Flat earther here so I KNOW exactly what you mean! I definitely need to stop coming home and just watching podcasts or TV and sipping wine. I need to get back into prayer more and my Bible and not letting this stop me from hearing my LORD speak. AMEN! May Christ bless you! I have to take my heart out of this and really plan my escape.
Aww! I wish you would have gotten into how people don't care about high level mathematics. I wanted to hear your take on the issue, because I know that all math is relevant. For instance, some time ago, I saw the connection between geometry and spiritual understanding. Much, much, much later, I listened to a video that said a Pope, of some centuries ago (can't remember which one), had forbidden the public to learn geometry for this very reason. But, like you said, schools only care about test scores (their bread-and-butter). Happily, though, parents have awakened to the fact that schools are not educating their children. The reading, writing, math, and other subjects (arts, actually) could be learned from anyone, anywhere. Schools are boot camp for tomorrow's workers and voters. That's why, although "the best interest of the child" is in the hearts of many teachers, it is just a motto for the system, itself. Nevertheless, thank you so much, for sharing your experiences. Very Helpful!
YAY for not being a "blue marble" follower!!!! ...(You might have guessed that I am commenting as I listen to the video)...I love how you seem to see life as it really is, and not as a souped-up version of it. If I recall correctly, it was school that gave me the impression the world is a ball, spinning on its axis. I gave up that thinking a long time ago (post school, of course). I just wish I could ask a believer in the spherical, round earth to show me a tennis ball, or some other spherical object, spinning on an axis (and "tilted", like the globe models). What a sight that would be watching someone trying to prove this. And in taking the globe models into consideration, which way is north? The globes have the earth directed at north west/south east or north east/south west. As far as maps go, they don't seem to be in agreement. Modern maps are all similar, but not only do they not look like older maps of the world, but the older maps don't even resemble each other. So, I say, again, YAY!, to you for not being taken in by fallible information that makes our wonderful home appear to be something that its not.
The real problem is that academic training should be for people with decent IQs and not shoved down the throats of the entire population. Probably the only time everyone should be in the same classes is the first four years of school. Also, kids who have no fear owing to getting coddled by their parents are uneducable and should be shunted off into manual arts training no matter how smart they are. But the two main reasons teaching is unbearable is low pay combined with intolerable paperwork load and nonexistent disciplinary sanctions. I quit teaching to become a barber: self employed with virtually no paperwork.
You sound like your from the DMV(DC, Maryland, Virginia) Maybe DC? Are you? If so, me too and we speak the same and are about the same age. We both are over thinkers, love God and are about the same age. ❤ You think a lot like me
Just saying, no wonder why children from the US are testing so poorly ☹️☹️. Teachers must always set an example. Trust me, students will appreciate/remember.
Sorry, but you don't become a teacher because you get tired of waiting on tables. You become a teacher because you have the desire to help young people learn. While I truly get the decline of student behavior, the enabling parents and unsupportive administrators, you got into teaching for the wrong reason. I still remember one of my professors telling me "teaching is the hardest thing you will ever love." and while it has gotten far more difficult since kids returned from virtual learning, I believe I make a difference to some of my students.
Anyone who is not a professional victim should not become a teacher. Teachers are expected to be bullied by everyone and come back the next day for even more bullying. It's non-stop.
I have lost faith in my local Texas area public school system. Thanks for thinking outside the box. The false indoctrination of our children is horrible.
I really have been thinking of homeschooling my daughter just because I now know they have been indoctrinating us all this time . I know I can teach her more and better than them
I watched your most recent video & I only made it halfway thru this one because earth is flat?? Really. It sounds like you would’ve had a better time teaching high school or adjacent professor at a university. U too “woke” to be teaching 3rd & 4th graders, no offense at all. They’re literally sponges! My brother is in 4th grade, he’s in private school so even more sheltered than those in public school. But these kids do that level of deep thinking in high school. They need to have the basic Foundation to be extremely solid during elementary school, especially following rules & procedures, working on decorum. I teach my brother to think deeper at home. Not everyone has that but all the work/blame cannot be placed on teachers when it comes to educating kids.

Preach! The first day in 6th grade is when more and more children first see a map and many don't know what a map is
Literally. My 4th graders didn’t know what a poem was 🤦🏾♀️

Same! I’m going based off this year for me. I hate being a quitter but I feel like teaching is just a bunch of meaningless busy work
Busy work yes!!!!! Especially the "data tracking" and mindless meetings! Pure busy work!!

@@roundtwo3321 that sounds awful. So far this has been good but I know I can get a bad year at any time.
don't forget about us poor bus drivers 🚌, we get disrespected by parents, other drivers🚗, and kids as we have to babysit while driving.
I’ve seen it w my own eyes baby! Nobody is safe
The town I live in can’t find school bus drivers so they’re always hiring.
Great video! As a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to these mistakes. It's so important for educators transitioning into new careers to be aware of these pitfalls. Thanks for sharing!
Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!
Girl you are such a free thinker. You are like the people that lead. Which is so amazing because Many people just follow.
You are so wise!!❤

I appreciate that!
U could've been a great teacher in a system that actually values kids....
Love your energy and vibe!

I teach 4th grade. We use Stem Scopes. I will admit we skip over science and social studies bc reading, writing and math are essential
And it truly is! I agree! They won’t let me teach them basics even though they can’t even read 🤦🏾♀️ so if we’re gonna mindlessly assign work they can’t do we might as well slide some history in there !

9:12 you gonna have to explain your concept of flat earth because... logarithms

We both are over thinkers, love God and are about the same age. ❤

Why we homeschool 😎 out of the box.
I want to do that!
Why is your story so similar to mines? Besides me being an education major. 😭
So many of them are bc the system is garbage everywhere!
