Are you feeling like you're gradually losing the passion you once had? What can rekindle it? I've been thinking about this as we approach a 1 million subscribers, and now I'm not sure what direction to take. I have a humorous idea for the next video (The video won't be funny, but the purpose of its creation will be). If we reach 1 million subs before releasing it, it could be a fascinating experiment. Many TH-camrs and influencers wouldn't dare to do this, knowing their audience well. They're focused on maximizing every gain and minimizing every loss. That's why this could be intriguing, and the reaction might be quite amusing. Someone might ask, "Why do this instead of just telling people what they want to hear?" And they'd have a point. The TH-cam community is full of such cautious individuals. Sometimes, I think they're like AI that has been operating for a while, and now we all have access to this technology. This post is probably too long, and most people have likely stopped reading by now, but that's okay. If you've noticed, there's a subtle hint here (in the thumbnail). I'm curious to see the comments. There's also a misunderstanding about the name of this channel. If you look closely at how it's written, it might be a mind blowing revelation for you.
A lot of your success is how you weigh in on a subject in your own way. Do not be too eager to cater to a crowd. If the crowd knew what they wanted, you wouldn't be needed. Choose a method that is real to you. People will recognize the authenticity. In the words of Snoop Dog, "Real recognize real".
l rarely visit comment sections, and even less look what the video creator wrote in his pinned comment. l don't know why l checked this. l just wanted to say that. And it has been an interesting journey so far.
You're doing good buddy, the only problem I consider is you've aligned a little bit maybe like 20% to the worldview of redpill (I'm sure you wouldn't like to box yourself in it) , but you restrain yourself from talking about politics at all, which has been diluted over time by "red-pillers" or the other creative ones in the field. Now they're getting less interested in stuff like this. You need to be spicy more, to attract more audience, or be satisfied with the ones you're getting, which I obviously like personally, the community is great here. Talk about race-ethnicity-gender-history-world war- pre-modernism - cultural differences - immigration - taxes - currencies etc, you get what I'm trying to say? Wishing you the best.
I personally feel the No Child Left Behind Act in America was a mistake. The idea that every child in America deserves an education is certainly a noble one, but so many American youths just fool around and piss away tax dollars.
The mask breaking from the child's face unironically made me emotional, it's like a small glimmer of hope to see at least some sort of passion coming from people.
Yeah for real that was awesome. Man I love this channel. I wish I was a better student. Maybe I should have gotten in life faster or better if I didn’t screen around so much…
@@OnTheSpotsilver the point is that most young doesn't have a mentor figure in life, I'm 23 but, if my father would make a strong bond with me from young, then we could probably discuss anything, I want my future kids to know that I am their truest friend and they always can come for advice, I never had a wise person that I can come to to talk about problems.
@@underwaterlevelz1947 it's still worth it in the end. The only meaningful thing you can do in life is to pass knowledge and experience to the next "heir", be it your own offspring or a small group of students.
08:19 the teacher playing viking with a broom and a made up shield is quite heartbreaking. He is passionate about his work, and tries to make it as entertaining as possible for his students, but they don't evnt care. But this one kid at the end asking him questions about the lesson is a good glimpse of hope. It's just two history nerds meeting each others, and it's great.
It’s probably his first month of teaching. It takes time to build those relationships. I’m on my last semester of college (EC-6 Degree Plan) and I just wanted to say that they don’t teach how to build those relationships. They teach, “don’t be racist,” “equity for all (or be fired),” “white/rich people are the enemy, and poor/any other color is acceptable and the true protagonists,” pedagogy and law (which was cool).
Idk where you are,but they teach me to not only teach subjects but to also morals ,to be a second father/brother, someone who they can talk to.becaus most mischief is due to some underlying problem that is undiscovered e@@anthenyiscool2758
I tought it was a holpite. But I get your point, back in high school we had teachers that were very knowledgable but rarely interacted with the class. Only some did and those were the lessons everyone liked, after like 2 years there was a clear difference between certain classes. The ones where the teachers were more active with the class were much more organized and fun, and the others were boring and nobody paid any attention.
I had a cool teacher when I was in highschool who was like a comedian but not in a cheesey pandering way. I actually liked going to his class. I was in his social studies class and in his health class. When he was teaching us about the spartans he was doing stuff like that and joking around alot then we got to see a couple scenes from 300 that were relevant to what he was describing. I wish all my teachers were like that I probably would have graduated but I skipped alot and didnt do any homework. (sorry this was long I tried to summarize)
As a teacher, it's even worse than that, when I'm not telling them to pay attention, asking them if they have any doubts and seeing them having doubts but preferring to keep talking with others students, and being one of the few teachers who aren't just giving grades to students, actually trying make them study, everyday I'm breaking a little bit more inside. When I think that I went 6 years in uni for this, i can't even describe the feeling
As a teacher I am amazed how accurate this video is - you choose this profession because you think you can make a change, inspire, motivate, but the more you work and see people who don't care, the more burnout you feel
One music lesson changed the entire trajectory of my life and became a firm foundation for my wellbeing. The majority may slip by, but there will certainly be a few, or hopefully more students whose lives are genuinely improved by your lessons. Teachers deserve more respect
Can you help me? I want to become a teacher, should i continue my goal?? Or it just doesn't worth it?? If i don't want to be a teacher so what should i be??? Im 17 yo im so stressed and scared literally i can't laugh anymore can someone help me please
@@voyaage1969 Every teen haircut looks dumb to older people or to contrarian "too cool for school" teens. When I was in my early 20s, we young adults rolled our eyes about the "Emo/Scene" haircuts that were in among teens at the time. There even was a hot minute where the teens were running around with metallic dyed "Yu Gi Oh" hair in the early 2000s, trying to look like Manga/Anime characters. That didn't last long, but probably because those hairdos were just too expensive and too high maintenance.
oh... that's that unappealing (unsymphatic) hairstyle, which appeared around 2010 and later, in youtube -tarded kids? Lol, didn't know it has own name and it irritates also other people. :)
My mom is a high school teacher, and i feel so bad for her. I do everything i can to help her, yet I still feel helpless, and I get extremely angry knowing how she is being treated by people much younger than her. Education should not be granted to people who do not appreciate it.
Growing up with a number of learning disorders, I was in a lot of resource classes in school. Let me tell you, the kids in most of those classes were absolute MENACES!
There’s so many people studying teaching at university. Just my year alone, there was 1000 students. Now teaching is a 4 year degree and there is 3 universities in my city. So within four years, roughly 12000 people have the potential to become a qualified teacher. Way too many for limited spots available especially considering teachers stay in their jobs for many years.
There is a big teacher shortage, more and more quit the field after a short time of trying it out. The pay is garbage, and the students in garbage. You have no idea what you're talking about. 😆
Something I learned from working as a teacher is. Don't give a f**k about anything but enjoy your class yourself. If you do, maybe they will get touched by your passion and follow you, or not, but you will actually enjoy your work by teaching and being passionate about it.
bullshit. i have fun with my kids, atleast i try to enjoy, they have fun too. but come school acts? reunions? etc??? thats the real bulshit "no you cant do this because next week we're having potato day so you have to teach about potato, next month we'll have rice day so you have to teach about rice, you cant teach actual elements of the subject you must teach what we, the educational system, are interested about" school is not about teaching, but about forming people according to social and political views
I have two male teachers who are really loved by the students, one really loves his job and enjoys it, and has a unique way of teaching that the students like, he also down to earth and talks to students like he's talking to friends and treats them like people. The other one doesn't give a f**k about what anyone says and does what he wants, I remember he called one of the students a fatass because he thought the student made fun of him, and he has the best quotes, which made the student respect him.
The point of school is to take kids from their parents, so they can work and pump taxes to the budget. You teach kids some basic stuff like reading, writing and counting, most of the other things are waste of time anyway. Then you send them into big world and good luck with that.
My English teacher in my senior year of high school always told us, "Please don't be a teacher. I didn't wanna do this, I don't like it. This ain't what I wanted to do. It ain't fun. " She was always so straight up about it. She kept it real... she was a pretty damn good teacher, though. She kept the class interesting, engaging, and entertaining
My mom was a teacher her whole life, it only got bad since corona. Kids don't try to pay attention anymore, all they do is wait until they can get to their phones or laptop to watch tiktok or play games. They use chatgpt for their assignments. Depressing.
i'm really glad i never used chatgpt(i'm gonna be a 10th grader in August) All my teachers are driven into a ditch, my bio teacher quit once the year was over because and let me quote her on this "I've been teaching for very long, and within 4-6 years students just got worse, I thought I could make a difference with me being a teacher but the way *insert my school name* does things are not something things that I agree with."
Similar to my aunt, she retired three months early, she could not do it anymore. I felt so bad, she was an amazing teacher because she used to help me with maths, her teaching methods were amazing. The kids bullied her so hard because she was a kind and soft woman.
You must be blind, kids never pay attention to boring lessons about thinks they dont care or cant even use in their lifes, they care only if teachers call random students to answer... Kids used Google for many years to make homeworks, chat gpd is just faster way of doing this When schools feel like souless corporations dont except Kids to put more effort into them than average Joe in office. Both want to finish job they hate and go back to stuff they like
"How do you plan on teaching others when you're struggling yourself?" You can. I'm a teacher, a math and physics teacher and back in school my ghrades were so bad in math they almost kicked me out of school tho I got better and in last grade at last math exam I got 199/200 point.
I worked as a teacher in the late 2000s. When a kid in 5th grade misbehaved, and decided to lay on top of his desk, I approached him, pciked him up by the front of his shirt, lifted him off the desk, and sat him back in the chair, all the while reading from the textbook to the class. Nobody in that class misbehaved again.
These days, doing that would get you in so much trouble. Not that I disagree with you doing that. No physical harm was done, but any teacher to do that now would be consumed by our modern cancel culture.
@@WatchMeEv0Ive To play devil's advocate, while no physical harm was done, there's no guarantee when you pick someone up by their shirt that they won't get hurt. If the kid freaks out while being lifted he could get loose and fall, or if the collar goes up when you pick up the shirt it could choke the kid out. All in all, while kids sucks, it's still risky as an injury could occur. I agree with your sentiments, but I also see why society has changed to a more hands off approach when it comes to getting physical with kids. If I heard my Daughter was picked up by her Shirt at School it would definitely get me in "Defensive Parent Mode"
@@WatchMeEv0IveYep, and there are parents who would have the dollar signs go up in their eyes on hearing that you grabbed (read: “assaulted”) their child.
I’m studying to be a middle school teacher, after having observed at elementary, middle, and high school, I can confidently say that I wish I was a high school teacher. It’s so much more relaxed, the students actually listen, and I can understand what they’re saying.
I'm 20 and currently working as an english instructor while going to college for a STEM degree, teaching 4 - 12 students per classroom. And I have to say that teaching is a really passionate and rewarding feeling, at the same time, I could never do it for more than 5 years in a full school with 30+ students, easily one of the most draining mental exhausting jobs, just teaching a few is hard enough.
@@nivrrtakr2891 no worries, that is merely one aspect about you as a human, don't focus on the negative points. If it helps you, talking to myself helped me a lot on public speaking.
The last moment in this short film is the most satisfying one of all your videos. I want to become a teacher when I finish college, and I know that it is a challenging job, but if I see at least one kid with that spark in their eye, it will mean everything to me!
As a teacher, I can tell you that you are educating in spite of the system, not because of it. You were hired to be a replaceable cog whose purpose is to serve the needs of administrators, not the needs of the children. The image everyone has is that it's the kids who are the problem, but if administrations were worth anything even the worst kids wouldn't be a factor. The best teachers are basically undercover agents who sneak into the NPC factory every day to help where they can. At most, you might have a positive impact on 5% to 10% of the kids that come through. I have personally found that to be worth it, but I still encourage homeschooling. My wife homeschools our kids and they're better off for it.
Okay, hard disagree from me. I've worked with children in both official school settings and as a private tutor: The system sucks (worldwide) and makes a many things worse - but a lot of the children are hellspawn summoned by evil cultists. There's not a single party involved in the raising of children that couldn't be described as a scourge upon the land.
I see a lot of people on the internet underestimating education while in the past people would kill to even learn reading. I hate when people say "I will never use this in real life", and I never used the knowledge of cardiovascular system in real life. But guess who did, entire medical profession, so should we not teach that in schools because *I* don't use that knowledge?
THIS, this is what always struck me. The two men who introduced the prussian factory school system in the USA, shared the philosophy "Children are state property". Make them as basic and uniform as you can, so you can lead and govern them with ease. For this reason, school has to take up as much time in the lifes of children as possible, so they dont flourish on their own, dont become self-dependent and always strive for external validation for everything they do. It is a measure to keep everybody in check, playing by fixed boundaries and rules, to lower the willingness for systemic change. Conforming and compliant citizen. A great book on that is "Dumbing us down" by John Taylor Gatto
damn if a teacher has their kids homeschooled, that's like when Steve Jobs didn't let his kids have iPads, really shows you what the expert thinks of the product.
You're exactly right! I had some really good high school teachers who really motivated us and had been passionate about the subjects they taught. The head of the history department even showed us the textbooks we were given but told us we were not to use (he had problems with them but they were provided by the ministry of education). Another great teacher had actually incurred the wrath of the ministry and for a time had someone observe his teaching! Great guy. A math teacher I had had advised "if you want to change the education system, join the ministry". I even got to stay in contact with one teacher who later retired. But yes, even the students who dreaded going to their classes were inspired by these few good teachers.
College Part Time Instructor here and a Licensure Exam passer. I understand on how rough being an instructor is but it does give me a glimpse on what type of people my students are. I usually laid myself back but when the situation calls it, I switched my own tone. So far I've done it once .
being a college instructor in IT seems fun. Most of the students are eager to learn at your subject at least in my batch. I plan on becoming one next year if I still can't get a job this year. I still miss a bit of my student life and I just can't see myself working on a corporation
@@WittyFalls Update: I reprimanded a lot of students for the past few weeks due to their misbehaviors. Even calling one class "Disappointing", they're already at their 20's yet they seemed to be restless all the time. I understand their positions as well, I've been to their shoes too but damn, can't even take a whole 30 minutes of silence.
I realized too late that you shouldn't ignore teachers. Imagine you learned to present your lesson. You spent a lot of time to tell what you wanted to say and actually teach someone. Then you see half of your students are on their phones and the other half are talking instead of listening. It's not a good feeling to be ignored and disrespected. Its a silent pain.
Being a teacher made me feel every ounce of suffering of this guy. Glad I quit like 2 days ago. Two years in school was an interesting experience though
@@asmfbh In the teacher break rooms you'd usually (as in every day) just hear all the teachers talking about how much they hated their job and how terribly the kids behaved and how the administration provided no support. Every now and then there'd be teachers having breakdowns in the break room (just realized the humor in that) where they'd be crying and talking about how they can't take it anymore. The two schools I taught at were interesting situations because they were very good schools and paid the teachers well so even though the kids were incredibly problematic most of the teachers stayed because the money was good.
@@asmfbh Confusing. Considering I'm 23 yo and look really young, it was difficult to build proper relations with teenagers. It felt like they saw more of a friend in me, rather than a teacher. But I managed, it was somehow fun. Little children on other hand, were a lot easier to deal with
I’m a student studying to be an English teacher. I ate lunch in the teachers lounge during one of my observations. It was so toxic that I genuinely considered changing my major. Then I remembered that I could just eat in my classroom and I calmed down. I’d rather be on lunch duty than sit in the teachers lounge.
I have a great love of history because of my excellent history teacher. 15 years after high school I finally saved enough money to go to Europe and spent 2 months going to museums and landmarks in 19 cities. I appreciated art for the first time in my life. I saw paintings and sculptures that were 10 times older my home country, and it matured me as a person. Thanks Mr Haymakenzie.
Both of my parents are teachers and some of my extended family as well. You quite literally hit the nail on the head with the end of this video, gave me the chills. Good stuff.
Probably one of the best of your videos! I was lucky to have good teachers, especially at the time when my family was in the shittiest conditions. Those people never gave up on me and encouraged me to learn and get better. I worked as a teacher too some time after graduating a university. But I understood I cannot - to be a good teacher requires not only creativity and a good understanding of the subject, the ability to explain it well, but also much empathy and care, and stress tolerance. I returned to the field of research, but I'm pretty sure that once I get my PhD, I'll be teaching at the uni part-time.
the ending was so beautiful. yes, there are bad students and yes, there are bad teachers but the majority of the blame falls on the system. maybe its because Im young and dont have much life experience, but out of all of your videos, I could relate and empathise a lot more with this one
As someone who currently works as an educational assistant and is about to enter a masters program to get my teaching license. I appreciated this. It's is a really tough job. You have to be extremely patient, as I am learning firsthand. Yet, if you can help even one kid discover their passion or some sense of direction in life, that is worth all the pain and suffering that comes along with the job. Also, teachers make way more than waiters, like it's not even close.
That is the parent's responsibility to make the kid discover his path. A teacher can only facilitate the process but should not be entirely responsible. A lot of parents do not understand. Otherwise, you will be accused of brainwashing them with your beliefs, opinions, ideology, religion.
im a history teacher myself on a third world country i make like $7000 a year, and i feel the video, like 90% of kids dont care about history or even the other disciplines
From the third world too, just finishing my major and going to teach history in Italy, never been to an italian school but speak the language and i am here just hoping the best
Dude it’s normal, did you care about history back in the days? Nobody likes work, most people don’t care about what’s being taught because it’s not stimulating enough, if you want people to get to focus on your class; you gotta be extremely creative and funny to make it somewhat entertaining. Unfortunately not everyone can do that. I really think it’s not a job for everyone
As an English teacher abroad who just started teaching at an academy, with classes for kids ranging from 5 all the way to 18, this is quite accurate. Not quite every kid is like this but it is enough of a percentage for them to disrupt the entire class. They have the exact same haircut, pay absolutely no attention, never stop yelling and constantly complain about having them do anything at all. When I try to have some more relaxed conversations with the class about entertainment, I also realise kids barely even watch any series' or movies anymore, only Tik-Tok, Instagram and some musical reality TV. And they don't even play any pc or console games, only mobile games.. It's disheartening but the few classes where the majority are attentive make it worth-it. I'm sure that in a public high school it'd be worse though.
@@el_androi1203 Ah, entiendo, es que pensaba que estabas enseñando inglés en otro país inicialmente. Parece que esto está pasando en todos lados, porque veo el mismo patrón que mostraste aquí, pero también lo veo en las personas de mi edad (Gen Z), creo que es debido a la gran accesibilidad de la teconología en estos tiempos, esencialmente no obligando al ser humano a crear o consumir contenido que valga la pena. Me da miedo por la generación que viene después de nosotros, ya que espero que ellos puedan desenvolverse bien y puedan pensar por sí mismos.
Yeah, we don’t really have scheduled programming (TV) anymore since everything is just streamed. That and there’s so much on any of them that you’ll never see it all. I think the mobile games only part hurts me most to know. They’re just ALWAYS on their phones
This video feels strangely like it was made for me, and not in like a narcissistic "everything is actually about me way" The motivations and backstory of the main character match my own, as well as that initial awkwardness in trying to get his students to focus on the topic at hand Really hit home for me, great work
School teachers deserve all the respect. They have to deal with our nonsense everyday trying to teach us stuff we’ll probably need in life while we’re just trying to survive the school years.
Do they? Very few of them actually teach anything you'd actually need through life. Classes like history or second languages are just glorified hobbies and learning anything useful, like how interest works or paying taxes, is usually such a small portion of the overall subject a 14 year old is likely to forget it by the end of the year.
@@ragnnohabhistory is important on a global level. On an individual level, a specific student may not really need this information in life, but when not a single person in the country has any idea about their own country's history - the country's doomed. It's important for everybody to have even just the basic knowledge of their history, and even if they forget it, they'll still have some idea about it.
@@max-eu2qi General bad behavior. Not turning up to class in time, constant detentions, talking when teacher is talking throwing paper airplanes and erasers across the class room, not doing homework. But regardless of my poor grades, I got a job in railway track engineering but I still think it must have been hell for those poor teachers back then as there were even worse pupils than me and they are EVEN WORSE today.
@@COolKID-zt2ow The bad behaviors of the kids are the same, but the difference is that now the kids are not held accountable for their behaviors like they were in the past. Administrators and parents used to support teachers in giving consequences to kids who misbehaved, but now that is by and large no longer the case.
As a 16 year old English teacher I'm very happy to be a part of someone else's journey in learning because learning English was a beautiful journey for me as well! I hope I can bestow my knowledge upon them and become good friends with my students! ❤
fuck man, the end made me cry, give yourselves a chance and try to spark in this dark world, because we, ourselves deserve to make this place a better place than the one we were born into
Thank you for that ending. I can be discouraging at times, especially when people make it very obvious they don't care what you have to say, but sometimes you do reach some and you end up becoming a big part in their lifes journey. Even though its really easy to punch down on the youth theres still a lot of hope for some of them
As a future teacher , it always sounded like a scary experience. Throughout the years , the passion has always been there but the pressure seems heavier every year. I don’t know if I should find this motivating or even scarier. And I think that’s what I always loved about this channel. Thank you for another great cinematic and psychological experience.
This was it. This was my experience as a teacher. My time as an English teacher could have been a complete black pill, however; there were a handful of students like the one at the end that made it worth it.
As a new licensed teacher who lost his passion for teaching because of all the bs requirements just to get a job and children getting very annoying, this video has ignited some of that passion. Thanks, as always Millennia.
As someone whose been out of school for over a decade, I can't imagine how awful the teaching experience must be these days. The worst thing I ever did in school was get into a fight or two but I was always pretty respectful with my teachers because of the shit they put up with. Probably helps that most of mine in highschool I knew outside of the school through friends and family.
I am a teacher. Or I was, until the mass psyop of 2020-2022. The point is, your input determines your output. I was loved and respected by most if not all my students. This was thanks to the dedication and energy I put into developing my own teaching style, methodology and overall performance in order to make my lessons engaging. It never felt like a job, except for the paperwork. I lived like a monk tho, but I was indeed the best teacher in the school.
Before she had a stroke, my mother taught Croatian language (one of the most important subjects in Croatian schools), really passionate, extremely knowledgeable, graduated as one of the best students of her generation in philosophy and Croatian language. Her first job was in high school where she did well and was pretty satisfied with how it went. Her and my dad had to move to a different city where she couldn't find a sport as a high school teacher so she had to degrade herself into working in middle school (basically 5th-8th grade, high school here is 9th to 13th). Nothing wrong with working there, but she was way overqualified for that. She worked there for most of her life and slowly she became more nervous and started having anger issues and would sometimes be angry at me and my brother for no reason other than having bad days at work. She never did anything physical, but you could see how sometimes she'd come back and be nice towards me or my brother even when we'd get bad grades, but sometimes she would be really angry and annoyed. To her, it was basically "I try so hard to teach everyone and help everyone and then I come home in a bad mood and the first thing I hear is that my child is doing badly". I couldn't understand it when I was younger, but nowadays I can really understand how it felt. Passionately working hard and trying your best to give your students an immersive and an interesting experience on learning and preparing them for tests, only for most of them to do very badly and to talk during classes and make fun of the class and act like spoiled little brats. It's a huge difference working between middle school and high school. After a lot of time of working there, she was thinking about quiting, but was very hesitant (I found this out later). While working there she started developing migraines and after years of working there she had a stroke. She barely survived, but couldn't continue working. She says that not having to work there again is a blessing and that she is really happy now even when she doesn't have a job and has a lot of boring days home. And it's sad how such a talented and smart person that genuinely cared about her students basically wasted her potential working in a middle school full of annoying brats. Me and my bro are gonna graduate college soon and I feel lucky that my mom worked as a teacher because brother and I always had a drive to study hard and think about our future, so I wouldn't say that it's completely wasted.
Well, here in the US, all grade level teachers have the same requirements so it is not considered any lesser than being a High School teacher. However, middle school teachers are actually respected more because they have to handle the worse behavior.
I also plan to be a history teacher but I always turn down myself due to theese situations that can happen to me but this video gave me some more hope in my future plans. Thanks for theese quality contents you create on the platform.
Woah! this hits like a TRUCK! I'm a Colombian English teacher (About to end the 5 years studying in college) and I'm glad I have chosen English, not just because it's fun in many ways, but because I have plenty of things to relate my classes and making them interesting and maybe Life changing, I hope to get into a proper state school and life relatively calm with many stories passing in front of me (the Students and their lives) helping them to push forward and giving some or a lot of motivation to continue or change to their best possible form!
It seems that you have been brainwashed with the Anglo-American worldview and ideology. English is no longer the global, prestigious language and it never really was. It is not a difficult language at all, but Anglo-Americans tend to be difficult and toxic people which makes language learning difficult. Colombians will be culture shock to find out that Anglo-Americans will not be friendly to South Americans, no less the British. German would be a better option to learn and teach to be honest.
I absolutely don't like to admit it, but this was me when I was in middle school and high school. I had been in a school from Pre k to 7th grade, and I acted in a manner they didn't like, was left out, and was in general just the "strange" kid, I was also confused about my identity and my orientation by this point. I told my parents what went on because it got particularly worse in 7th grade and I truly just wanted to have some friendships for once and have a chance for joy in my teenage years. I have to also add that by this point I was addicted to screens, online world and whenever that was taken away from me, I would unironically break down emotionally, and my grades weren't particularly great either, specially math (I had to do summer school due to math, which ironically brought me some fleeting friendships that didn't last, but at least it was nice to have people that seemed to care about me for at least a bit for the first time in my life.) I must also mention that I suffer from Dyspraxia, which affects my coordination, concentration and movement; that also made me a target because I was "slower" than my peers, also my mom didn't have my back at that point until I told her how awful the picking and alienation had been getting, she always sided with the teachers and the mothers from the other kids because I "slowed" down the class and didn't catch up as well. They eventually changed me from schools, and I remember the first day I was excited due to the prospect of maybe forming friendships, having good grades and whatnot. That day came, I remember trying my best to act like a social butterfly even though I wasn't very good at it, but eventually, a girl caught on and told me to "back off" because she wanted to be with her friends and I wasn't, and for the remainder of that year, I didn't speak to any people except for girls that just wanted to make fun of me under the guise of trying to be "my friends". How did I catch that? Never asked me to hang out with them unless it was to emotionally vent on me or just make fun of me on a way or another, but at the time I thought it was friendship. Anyway, I particularly remember making this Chemistry teacher's life impossible, I was so frustrated with everything that was going on with me internally, the school and I was so addicted to screens that anything that wasn't a screen didn't mean anything to me by that point, as it was my only comfort. I also never went out anywhere and my days were just spent online, didn't develop a personality other than melancholy and envy for others. That Chemistry teacher showed me that I was an unreasonable person and actually broke down emotionally in front of me and threatened to tell my parents because of how poor my grades were being and how terrible I was to him, at the time I thought he had it on for me and didn't listen to him, also couldn't help my mom's yelling and whatnot when she went to pick up my report cards. I was so numb to it all and I just DIDN'T CARE, I didn't feel empathy towards my teachers because I already felt and knew that I was a failure so why did it matter? Got worse and worse in that school regarding grades and how the other people felt about me and whatnot, but eventually the school closed down in 2020 (You can assume why). By that point I went to a pscyhologist because I was afraid of the girls from school pinning me down and making my life impossible, I was very terrified everyday and that was on the top of my mind for most of my time, and I realized I had made a lot of mistakes in my life and I just dwelled on guilt from that point until I graduated. I did the same thing to the math and chemistry teacher on the school I switched to, but she seemed to be more understanding and put a harder leash on me because she was definitely used to this type of crap coming from students, and she offered to tutor me off the clock. She was very kind until the day I graduated and gave me very good advice the day my mom and I went to pick up my credits from school, and that made me realize...I had no passion for many things, I had no personality, no friendships, I did get a boyfriend but I still felt like I lacked important things within myself. Now I am doing better, I still have no friendships other than my boyfriend, I am going to uni to study psychology even though I have had my fair deal of rough patches with my mental health, so I wonder if I am even gonna be a good one...I wanna prove to people that I can be a good, moral person that has their crap together. As of right now I am 20 and I am still struggling with having hobbies, personalities and being more independent, I don't even know how to drive. I feel bad because I know that it's all on me the fact I am like this, but I worry about the future of our upcoming generation that displays similar traits to me when I was at my lowest. I think modernity really has to change. Anyway, thanks for being here and reading this.
@@elijahmartinez5508 Thank you man, I am doing way better now but I still feel aimless a bit, I am very thankful to God for having a caring boyfriend by my side. I want my life to have true direction.
I'm currently in my 2nd year od my teaching education and I'm quitting. I'm sick of this shit. Society can go fuck it self if it expects me to make my life miserable for the greater good
yeah it’s really heart warming when you give out knowledge and someone stops to ask for more. just really makes you truly feel like life is worth living
Recently I found some really good teachers for my gcse/igcse exams and I'm so thankful for them. (p.s if you gonna join an academy you should join a small one with a few students; cause you get attention and the teachers at smaller academy's actually care about your grades and not just the monthly fee) This video really should that some care and how they feel, think and their lives outside of school.
Thanks for the terrific video. Teaching can be tough... I've had my fair share of tricky students- ones that are disruptive. But when I was a student, I was the disruptive one, so I guess it's all coming back around. I was an ADHD student, so I was always getting into trouble and rarely understanding why. I'd always been talking or doing things and being noisy, but I always wanted to be the good kid, and I wanted to be liked and I wanted to get good grades. So it was always really difficult for me to get screamed at and scolded and told that I was "disappointing everyone," especially because I just didn't understand why... It was so frustrating. But I had an encounter with a counselor who didn't yell at me, didn't scold me, and just tried her best to understand and help me. It was like the first time in my life I felt like I was being understood. That experience stuck with me. It's what inspired me to become a teacher. As adults who work with children, we should strive to remember what it was like to be a child. How it felt to be screamed at by a teacher, how it felt to be told we were "disappointing" or that we should just "apply ourselves." How it felt that despite giving your best efforts, to still be misunderstood and labeled as a "problem." The adults I work with now often do the same things teachers did to me when I was a student. They scream and yell and scold out of frustration, just as their teachers probably did to them. Not that I don't understand... Students often try my patience, seemingly disobeying simple commands or doing their best to undermine the lessons however they can. Sometimes students feel like literal monsters, and you feel powerless to control the lesson, and eventually, burned out- powerless to teach and inspire. But have we forgotten how it feels to be in the desk? How it feels to be the student? I think most of us would look out into the sea of young people who use words we don't know, play games we don't like, watch media we don't understand, and just see them as NPCs, like the feels guy in the video. But not too long ago, we were the NPCs our teacher couldn't understand. We were the ones using dumb new words, more concerned with texting and Nintendo games than learning about American history or geology. Nothing's changed. Don't forget how you felt when you were in that chair. I remember how it felt to try to be a good student, only to be misunderstood. I remember how it felt to be labeled as a troublemaker, as a "bad kid." I remember how it felt going to school everyday thinking no one would every really understand me. I remember how it felt getting screamed at and blamed by adults I trusted. I remember feeling guilty. I remember feeling confused. I remember feeling stupid. I always felt stupid. I remember how it felt- so that I can be better.
I'm an assistant English teacher in Japan right now, and even then I feel this so deeply. Before, I wanted to teach music, to help enrich and instill positive values to help them be more aware and thoughtful people. While I still hold to that, I feel now my goal is to just get the kids to talk, to engage beyond translation software. I can only imagine for full fledged teachers - especially based on these comments - how it must be for them.
I work as a lower grade teacher (age 6-9). I love all my students. They are a bit michevious but I have a strong relationship to every student and I help them guide through things in life. The students aren't the difficult part of the job for me, it's other things - bad bosses, bad budget (too many students per class), too many administrational tasks, overwhelming parents, etc. The students make it all worth it tho. Last year, at the end term ceremony I made cards to each of my students. I drew cartoon portraits of them and wrote them all a letter on the card about their different personalities and how fantastic they were. The letters were very personalized. At that time, they were 8-9 years old. I got a thank you e-mail from a mom that summer, because her son couldn't stop reading the card while crying.
Im the kid who always asks the teacher about stuff in class or chat about the subject they're teaching, its those days where you learn something you didnt even know exists, and thats the fun of it. Teachers need to be appreciated more and not taken for granted.
Heck, I worked as a university teacher for nine years, I also came into this profession because of the idea of changing something for the better. I faced the same problems as the actor in the video, pressure from management, low salary, indifference from students. But I really love this profession, even though I had to leave for a new job. The final moment when the teacher is asked a question by an interested student after the lecture is wonderful. This is why being a teacher is worth it. Thanks to the author, this video really touched my feelings.
that's why the '' make your passion your work and you'll never work a day in your life '' is BS ; making your passion your work is the best wait to destroy said passion
I'd say its not you problem, its more like the world's fucked up beyond belief or understanding. Or rather, that this world is not for people like us, and will remain as such. You either force your life to be deformed by this influence, or submit. Or, possibly, push back, with a community of like minded individuals
I work as a Middle School teacher. Next year I'm getting my Masters degree in another field and leaving after 4 years. 50% of the field quits in the first 5 years. The system is broken.
the breaking of the mask of the child made me feel emotional and the quote at the end im going through some times and the quote when passion is lost so do we man u hited hard with this
I'm glad you ended it on a positive note, as if there is a glimmer of hope that there is someone is at least interested. I saw that kind of class when i was in the middle school, total chaos. Teachers got it so hard man, they're burning out so quickly, it's deeply saddening to see a young and passionate teacher going to teach with a hope of inspiring young blood only to burn out year or two later...
Teacher here. Not gonna lie: this job has a steep learning curve. The first six years or so are rough. By around year seven, something clicks, you get it, and everything settles into a well-oiled machine. I know this is a comedy (?) video, but if anyone's genuinely curious, here's this teacher's mistakes: 1. Taking a job at a school that doesn't even have projectors and laptops in the classroom. No PPTs and no videos means no engaging lessons. 2. Answering student questions instead of letting the kids discuss the answer among themselves. When that one kid asked "why do we study history?" he should have just said "Excellent question! For one point, can anyone here answer Timmy's question?" and then let them go at it. 3. Not making an effort to keep up with current pop culture, ie. what the kids are into. You don't need to be able to name every pickaxe in Minecraft but you should at least know what Euphoria is (not that kids should be watching Euphoria lol) 4. Not confiscating phones when you see them. No "first warning" shit. Set the rules on the first day of class. Anyone who brings their phone after that is getting it confiscated for the day. 5. Taking a teaching job where they somehow pay less than a waiter (lol). Teachers make decent money. Not huge. But very livable. Here in Vancouver the teacher salaries range from about 70,000-90,000 a year (Canadian).
I don't know for certain where author of the video is from (Poland?), but I'm pretty sure what he's portraying is pretty close to the general situation in eastern europe/post-soviet countries. Here in Russia teachers are notorious for sometimes having an absurdly small salary, plus more often than not a classrom doesn't have laptops or (although on much rarer occasions) even projectors
@@ВладимирПетров-д1м Then in that case he knows what he signed up for. 🤷 He can make the best with what he has, but such a tiny salary and no proper equipment in the classroom sounds rough.
@TheGuzeinbuick you don't always know that before you sign up to it (if you're observed at interview usually they stick you in the room with a projector to "inspect" your PowerPoint-making skills). Once you have the job you'll never be in that room ever again. They only want to check your PowerPoint skills so that you can cover for others down the line.
@@Ryan-dk7mm Another rookie mistake. An experienced teacher politely asks for a tour of the campus at the end of the interview. I'm talking classrooms, offices, printing rooms, auditoriums, etc.
Teacher here 🙋 Teachers are always portrayed as these depressed people due to uncaring students but this hasn't been my case AT ALL. I've been working as an ELT teacher for like 2 years and I gotta say this is the best job there could ever be. The only downside is the low salary but everyone has that problem unless you're in sales(which is really fucking stressful) or a god damn tech wizard(which may require years of training + the risk of your job getting taken away by an asshole who invents an app) so I'd say it's a pretty good deal for what it is.
The thing is, video portrays the situation in eastern hemisphere. There, as well as in many post-Soviet countries things in school go very closely with whats shown in the video. Working conditions in there in almost every type of job can destroy your soul in their very own and painful way. I wish you well, so the good will continue in your life, just wanted to add something from a different perspective
@@ДанилАбдибеков Eh depends, in high school I had really cool teachers that were interested or liked teaching and if you asked them question they would love to answer it
So little story here. I'm quite diffrent from people my age(17), interesting thing I noticed in school is that when you pay some attention to a teacher, (like take real interest in something they teach) and ask few questions etc. they cheer up quickly (in their own way of course). Some told me they're grateful for that, it seemed like they sensed some kind of hope in me. Some teachers are really great persons to talk with(better than classmates), also when they get to know me a bit better, I hear that they respect me.
look, to say i love teachers and respect them is a understatement, but this really gives me a new outlook into there lives and makes me empathise with them a whole lot.
Damn, you made an increadible job to catch the vibes of the average eastern european school, besides the general school cliches. Seeing the box of snickers in the small buffet, and the teachers having their coffee break there with the buffet lady reminded me of my own school way too much
Never stop being passionate, loud, wild and completely free. The people that still stick around with you after all that are the only ones worth a damn ✨
W ending Also 8:26 is why my school and other schools banned phones. Stop complaining that you can’t your dopamine brainrot machine on when you’re supposed to be learning
@@Aperson-rs4eh Everything people learned in school isn't relevant at all in anyones adult life. Elementary schooling is the only education that could become useful as an adult
I still remember the teacher who helped me get average grades in English Lit when all other teachers looked down on me because of my speech and language disorder. It honestly gave me confidence to pass my exams. I'm no teacher (im a girl scouts leader) but it is rewarding being able to inspire a child and give them some life experience as well as a safe space

Are you feeling like you're gradually losing the passion you once had?
What can rekindle it?
I've been thinking about this as we approach a 1 million subscribers, and now I'm not sure what direction to take. I have a humorous idea for the next video (The video won't be funny, but the purpose of its creation will be). If we reach 1 million subs before releasing it, it could be a fascinating experiment. Many TH-camrs and influencers wouldn't dare to do this, knowing their audience well. They're focused on maximizing every gain and minimizing every loss. That's why this could be intriguing, and the reaction might be quite amusing. Someone might ask, "Why do this instead of just telling people what they want to hear?" And they'd have a point. The TH-cam community is full of such cautious individuals. Sometimes, I think they're like AI that has been operating for a while, and now we all have access to this technology. This post is probably too long, and most people have likely stopped reading by now, but that's okay. If you've noticed, there's a subtle hint here (in the thumbnail). I'm curious to see the comments. There's also a misunderstanding about the name of this channel. If you look closely at how it's written, it might be a mind blowing revelation for you.
A lot of your success is how you weigh in on a subject in your own way. Do not be too eager to cater to a crowd. If the crowd knew what they wanted, you wouldn't be needed.
Choose a method that is real to you. People will recognize the authenticity. In the words of Snoop Dog, "Real recognize real".
l rarely visit comment sections, and even less look what the video creator wrote in his pinned comment. l don't know why l checked this. l just wanted to say that. And it has been an interesting journey so far.
Boy, you really are a thinker.
You're doing good buddy, the only problem I consider is you've aligned a little bit maybe like 20% to the worldview of redpill (I'm sure you wouldn't like to box yourself in it) , but you restrain yourself from talking about politics at all, which has been diluted over time by "red-pillers" or the other creative ones in the field. Now they're getting less interested in stuff like this. You need to be spicy more, to attract more audience, or be satisfied with the ones you're getting, which I obviously like personally, the community is great here. Talk about race-ethnicity-gender-history-world war- pre-modernism - cultural differences - immigration - taxes - currencies etc, you get what I'm trying to say?
Wishing you the best.
Let's conduct some social experiment baby wohhooo
genuinely feel sad for my teachers, they try, but my class is full of clowns

I personally feel the No Child Left Behind Act in America was a mistake. The idea that every child in America deserves an education is certainly a noble one, but so many American youths just fool around and piss away tax dollars.
I used to teach and the kids treated the teachers like clowns.

The mask breaking from the child's face unironically made me emotional, it's like a small glimmer of hope to see at least some sort of passion coming from people.
Yeah for real that was awesome. Man I love this channel. I wish I was a better student. Maybe I should have gotten in life faster or better if I didn’t screen around so much…
@OnTheSpotsilver screening around isn't the problem, the problem is what is on the screen!
@@OnTheSpotsilver the point is that most young doesn't have a mentor figure in life, I'm 23 but, if my father would make a strong bond with me from young, then we could probably discuss anything, I want my future kids to know that I am their truest friend and they always can come for advice, I never had a wise person that I can come to to talk about problems.
That, or hes going to set a student on the same path of passionless misery that his teacher set him upon
@@underwaterlevelz1947 it's still worth it in the end. The only meaningful thing you can do in life is to pass knowledge and experience to the next "heir", be it your own offspring or a small group of students.
08:19 the teacher playing viking with a broom and a made up shield is quite heartbreaking. He is passionate about his work, and tries to make it as entertaining as possible for his students, but they don't evnt care.
But this one kid at the end asking him questions about the lesson is a good glimpse of hope. It's just two history nerds meeting each others, and it's great.
It’s probably his first month of teaching. It takes time to build those relationships.
I’m on my last semester of college (EC-6 Degree Plan) and I just wanted to say that they don’t teach how to build those relationships. They teach, “don’t be racist,” “equity for all (or be fired),” “white/rich people are the enemy, and poor/any other color is acceptable and the true protagonists,” pedagogy and law (which was cool).
Idk where you are,but they teach me to not only teach subjects but to also morals ,to be a second father/brother, someone who they can talk to.becaus most mischief is due to some underlying problem that is undiscovered
e@@anthenyiscool2758
I tought it was a holpite. But I get your point, back in high school we had teachers that were very knowledgable but rarely interacted with the class. Only some did and those were the lessons everyone liked, after like 2 years there was a clear difference between certain classes. The ones where the teachers were more active with the class were much more organized and fun, and the others were boring and nobody paid any attention.
I had a cool teacher when I was in highschool who was like a comedian but not in a cheesey pandering way. I actually liked going to his class. I was in his social studies class and in his health class.
When he was teaching us about the spartans he was doing stuff like that and joking around alot then we got to see a couple scenes from 300 that were relevant to what he was describing.
I wish all my teachers were like that I probably would have graduated but I skipped alot and didnt do any homework.
(sorry this was long I tried to summarize)
I tought it was a Hoplite
This crumbling mask at the end is freakin' powerful and a bit touching.
facts.
real
As a teacher, it's even worse than that, when I'm not telling them to pay attention, asking them if they have any doubts and seeing them having doubts but preferring to keep talking with others students, and being one of the few teachers who aren't just giving grades to students, actually trying make them study, everyday I'm breaking a little bit more inside. When I think that I went 6 years in uni for this, i can't even describe the feeling
Did 5 years in a teachers institute, it does feel like they prepared me for a thankless job...
@@stevendalloesingh lol you actually thought youd get some?
@@imperfekt_zen get some what? Gratitude? Actually yes..
As teacher I notice that as old they the less attention they pay and the more apathetic they become, try teaching a 7th grader vs a high-schooler
It’s the first day,different that he average day
As a teacher I am amazed how accurate this video is - you choose this profession because you think you can make a change, inspire, motivate, but the more you work and see people who don't care, the more burnout you feel
Fatherless homes. Go women liberation!
Atleast you're helping the students who do care
One music lesson changed the entire trajectory of my life and became a firm foundation for my wellbeing. The majority may slip by, but there will certainly be a few, or hopefully more students whose lives are genuinely improved by your lessons. Teachers deserve more respect

All the kids having broccoli hair cracked me up.
If there's a hairstyle I hate with a passion, it's the broccoli cut 🥦
@@voyaage1969 Every teen haircut looks dumb to older people or to contrarian "too cool for school" teens.
When I was in my early 20s, we young adults rolled our eyes about the "Emo/Scene" haircuts that were in among teens at the time.
There even was a hot minute where the teens were running around with metallic dyed "Yu Gi Oh" hair in the early 2000s, trying to look like Manga/Anime characters. That didn't last long, but probably because those hairdos were just too expensive and too high maintenance.

There is no teacher shortage. There's a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers.
only for teachers? Seems like respect disappears from entire human relations
There is also a teacher shortage
Teachers needs to be paid more. I am shocked there’s teachers with Masters degrees out there but being paid less than other professions.
There’s so many people studying teaching at university. Just my year alone, there was 1000 students. Now teaching is a 4 year degree and there is 3 universities in my city. So within four years, roughly 12000 people have the potential to become a qualified teacher. Way too many for limited spots available especially considering teachers stay in their jobs for many years.
There is a big teacher shortage, more and more quit the field after a short time of trying it out. The pay is garbage, and the students in garbage. You have no idea what you're talking about. 😆
9:00 The so forgotten, connection with teacher and student.
Something I learned from working as a teacher is. Don't give a f**k about anything but enjoy your class yourself. If you do, maybe they will get touched by your passion and follow you, or not, but you will actually enjoy your work by teaching and being passionate about it.
bullshit. i have fun with my kids, atleast i try to enjoy, they have fun too. but come school acts? reunions? etc??? thats the real bulshit
"no you cant do this because next week we're having potato day so you have to teach about potato, next month we'll have rice day so you have to teach about rice, you cant teach actual elements of the subject you must teach what we, the educational system, are interested about"
school is not about teaching, but about forming people according to social and political views
I have two male teachers who are really loved by the students, one really loves his job and enjoys it, and has a unique way of teaching that the students like, he also down to earth and talks to students like he's talking to friends and treats them like people. The other one doesn't give a f**k about what anyone says and does what he wants, I remember he called one of the students a fatass because he thought the student made fun of him, and he has the best quotes, which made the student respect him.
The point of school is to take kids from their parents, so they can work and pump taxes to the budget. You teach kids some basic stuff like reading, writing and counting, most of the other things are waste of time anyway. Then you send them into big world and good luck with that.
My English teacher in my senior year of high school always told us, "Please don't be a teacher. I didn't wanna do this, I don't like it. This ain't what I wanted to do. It ain't fun. " She was always so straight up about it. She kept it real... she was a pretty damn good teacher, though. She kept the class interesting, engaging, and entertaining
Respect
My mom was a teacher her whole life, it only got bad since corona. Kids don't try to pay attention anymore, all they do is wait until they can get to their phones or laptop to watch tiktok or play games. They use chatgpt for their assignments. Depressing.
Lololollol this generation really is screwed. As long as we get our dopamine hit every 5 minutes it'll all be good :)
i'm really glad i never used chatgpt(i'm gonna be a 10th grader in August) All my teachers are driven into a ditch, my bio teacher quit once the year was over because and let me quote her on this "I've been teaching for very long, and within 4-6 years students just got worse, I thought I could make a difference with me being a teacher but the way *insert my school name* does things are not something things that I agree with."
Similar to my aunt, she retired three months early, she could not do it anymore. I felt so bad, she was an amazing teacher because she used to help me with maths, her teaching methods were amazing. The kids bullied her so hard because she was a kind and soft woman.

Out of all your scenarios, this one definitely hits the most. Do it for the ones who seek the knowledge. You can't save everyone.
I worked as a teacher in the late 2000s. When a kid in 5th grade misbehaved, and decided to lay on top of his desk, I approached him, pciked him up by the front of his shirt, lifted him off the desk, and sat him back in the chair, all the while reading from the textbook to the class. Nobody in that class misbehaved again.
That's awesome! I'm a student teacher and wish I could do that
These days, doing that would get you in so much trouble. Not that I disagree with you doing that. No physical harm was done, but any teacher to do that now would be consumed by our modern cancel culture.
@@WatchMeEv0Ive
To play devil's advocate, while no physical harm was done, there's no guarantee when you pick someone up by their shirt that they won't get hurt.
If the kid freaks out while being lifted he could get loose and fall, or if the collar goes up when you pick up the shirt it could choke the kid out.
All in all, while kids sucks, it's still risky as an injury could occur.
I agree with your sentiments, but I also see why society has changed to a more hands off approach when it comes to getting physical with kids.
If I heard my Daughter was picked up by her Shirt at School it would definitely get me in "Defensive Parent Mode"

I’m studying to be a middle school teacher, after having observed at elementary, middle, and high school, I can confidently say that I wish I was a high school teacher. It’s so much more relaxed, the students actually listen, and I can understand what they’re saying.
I'm 20 and currently working as an english instructor while going to college for a STEM degree, teaching 4 - 12 students per classroom. And I have to say that teaching is a really passionate and rewarding feeling, at the same time, I could never do it for more than 5 years in a full school with 30+ students, easily one of the most draining mental exhausting jobs, just teaching a few is hard enough.
You have said it! Classes of 25 is draining, especially English.
Those small classes drained me. I.cant imagine teaching regular Ed.
An English instructor at 20 while I'm 22 and still struggle to speak in front 😭
When I stated teaching my first class had 40 students
@@nivrrtakr2891 no worries, that is merely one aspect about you as a human, don't focus on the negative points. If it helps you, talking to myself helped me a lot on public speaking.
The last moment in this short film is the most satisfying one of all your videos. I want to become a teacher when I finish college, and I know that it is a challenging job, but if I see at least one kid with that spark in their eye, it will mean everything to me!
Let you be told by someone on the other side of the great pond, it is totally worth it! 🎉

As a teacher, I can tell you that you are educating in spite of the system, not because of it. You were hired to be a replaceable cog whose purpose is to serve the needs of administrators, not the needs of the children. The image everyone has is that it's the kids who are the problem, but if administrations were worth anything even the worst kids wouldn't be a factor. The best teachers are basically undercover agents who sneak into the NPC factory every day to help where they can. At most, you might have a positive impact on 5% to 10% of the kids that come through. I have personally found that to be worth it, but I still encourage homeschooling. My wife homeschools our kids and they're better off for it.
Okay, hard disagree from me. I've worked with children in both official school settings and as a private tutor: The system sucks (worldwide) and makes a many things worse - but a lot of the children are hellspawn summoned by evil cultists. There's not a single party involved in the raising of children that couldn't be described as a scourge upon the land.
I see a lot of people on the internet underestimating education while in the past people would kill to even learn reading. I hate when people say "I will never use this in real life", and I never used the knowledge of cardiovascular system in real life. But guess who did, entire medical profession, so should we not teach that in schools because *I* don't use that knowledge?
THIS, this is what always struck me. The two men who introduced the prussian factory school system in the USA, shared the philosophy "Children are state property". Make them as basic and uniform as you can, so you can lead and govern them with ease. For this reason, school has to take up as much time in the lifes of children as possible, so they dont flourish on their own, dont become self-dependent and always strive for external validation for everything they do. It is a measure to keep everybody in check, playing by fixed boundaries and rules, to lower the willingness for systemic change. Conforming and compliant citizen. A great book on that is "Dumbing us down" by John Taylor Gatto
damn if a teacher has their kids homeschooled, that's like when Steve Jobs didn't let his kids have iPads, really shows you what the expert thinks of the product.
You're exactly right! I had some really good high school teachers who really motivated us and had been passionate about the subjects they taught. The head of the history department even showed us the textbooks we were given but told us we were not to use (he had problems with them but they were provided by the ministry of education). Another great teacher had actually incurred the wrath of the ministry and for a time had someone observe his teaching! Great guy. A math teacher I had had advised "if you want to change the education system, join the ministry". I even got to stay in contact with one teacher who later retired. But yes, even the students who dreaded going to their classes were inspired by these few good teachers.
College Part Time Instructor here and a Licensure Exam passer. I understand on how rough being an instructor is but it does give me a glimpse on what type of people my students are. I usually laid myself back but when the situation calls it, I switched my own tone. So far I've done it once .
being a college instructor in IT seems fun. Most of the students are eager to learn at your subject at least in my batch. I plan on becoming one next year if I still can't get a job this year. I still miss a bit of my student life and I just can't see myself working on a corporation
@@WittyFalls Update: I reprimanded a lot of students for the past few weeks due to their misbehaviors. Even calling one class "Disappointing", they're already at their 20's yet they seemed to be restless all the time.
I understand their positions as well, I've been to their shoes too but damn, can't even take a whole 30 minutes of silence.
I realized too late that you shouldn't ignore teachers. Imagine you learned to present your lesson. You spent a lot of time to tell what you wanted to say and actually teach someone. Then you see half of your students are on their phones and the other half are talking instead of listening. It's not a good feeling to be ignored and disrespected. Its a silent pain.
These videos are always so good, the little references like the principal from great teacher onizuka always make it even better.

Being a teacher made me feel every ounce of suffering of this guy. Glad I quit like 2 days ago. Two years in school was an interesting experience though
what was it like?!?!?
@@asmfbh In the teacher break rooms you'd usually (as in every day) just hear all the teachers talking about how much they hated their job and how terribly the kids behaved and how the administration provided no support. Every now and then there'd be teachers having breakdowns in the break room (just realized the humor in that) where they'd be crying and talking about how they can't take it anymore. The two schools I taught at were interesting situations because they were very good schools and paid the teachers well so even though the kids were incredibly problematic most of the teachers stayed because the money was good.
@@asmfbh Confusing. Considering I'm 23 yo and look really young, it was difficult to build proper relations with teenagers. It felt like they saw more of a friend in me, rather than a teacher. But I managed, it was somehow fun.
Little children on other hand, were a lot easier to deal with

I’m a student studying to be an English teacher. I ate lunch in the teachers lounge during one of my observations. It was so toxic that I genuinely considered changing my major. Then I remembered that I could just eat in my classroom and I calmed down. I’d rather be on lunch duty than sit in the teachers lounge.
I have a great love of history because of my excellent history teacher. 15 years after high school I finally saved enough money to go to Europe and spent 2 months going to museums and landmarks in 19 cities. I appreciated art for the first time in my life. I saw paintings and sculptures that were 10 times older my home country, and it matured me as a person. Thanks Mr Haymakenzie.

Seriously, why was I in your bed?
Both of my parents are teachers and some of my extended family as well. You quite literally hit the nail on the head with the end of this video, gave me the chills. Good stuff.
Probably one of the best of your videos! I was lucky to have good teachers, especially at the time when my family was in the shittiest conditions. Those people never gave up on me and encouraged me to learn and get better. I worked as a teacher too some time after graduating a university. But I understood I cannot - to be a good teacher requires not only creativity and a good understanding of the subject, the ability to explain it well, but also much empathy and care, and stress tolerance. I returned to the field of research, but I'm pretty sure that once I get my PhD, I'll be teaching at the uni part-time.
the ending was so beautiful. yes, there are bad students and yes, there are bad teachers but the majority of the blame falls on the system. maybe its because Im young and dont have much life experience, but out of all of your videos, I could relate and empathise a lot more with this one
all of these videos, make me sad and lonely, but for some reason, I have to keep watching them. I’m so invested in the story.

yessss
I also thought the same.
As someone who currently works as an educational assistant and is about to enter a masters program to get my teaching license. I appreciated this. It's is a really tough job. You have to be extremely patient, as I am learning firsthand. Yet, if you can help even one kid discover their passion or some sense of direction in life, that is worth all the pain and suffering that comes along with the job. Also, teachers make way more than waiters, like it's not even close.
That is the parent's responsibility to make the kid discover his path. A teacher can only facilitate the process but should not be entirely responsible. A lot of parents do not understand. Otherwise, you will be accused of brainwashing them with your beliefs, opinions, ideology, religion.
Teachers are such underrated people in the educational industry. These type of people need more praise!
im a history teacher myself on a third world country
i make like $7000 a year, and i feel the video, like 90% of kids dont care about history or even the other disciplines
I was a bad student but I always behaved in history because I genuinely enjoyed it
From the third world too, just finishing my major and going to teach history in Italy, never been to an italian school but speak the language and i am here just hoping the best
Dude it’s normal, did you care about history back in the days?
Nobody likes work, most people don’t care about what’s being taught because it’s not stimulating enough, if you want people to get to focus on your class; you gotta be extremely creative and funny to make it somewhat entertaining. Unfortunately not everyone can do that. I really think it’s not a job for everyone
Because the dont, for them its just job they hate
Blame Corona and lazy parents who couldn't keep theirs legs shut
As an English teacher abroad who just started teaching at an academy, with classes for kids ranging from 5 all the way to 18, this is quite accurate. Not quite every kid is like this but it is enough of a percentage for them to disrupt the entire class. They have the exact same haircut, pay absolutely no attention, never stop yelling and constantly complain about having them do anything at all. When I try to have some more relaxed conversations with the class about entertainment, I also realise kids barely even watch any series' or movies anymore, only Tik-Tok, Instagram and some musical reality TV. And they don't even play any pc or console games, only mobile games.. It's disheartening but the few classes where the majority are attentive make it worth-it.
I'm sure that in a public high school it'd be worse though.
What country if you don't mind me asking?
@cherryhazard8002 Spain. When I said abroad I meant in a non-English speaking country, it's where I'm from.
@@el_androi1203 Ah, entiendo, es que pensaba que estabas enseñando inglés en otro país inicialmente. Parece que esto está pasando en todos lados, porque veo el mismo patrón que mostraste aquí, pero también lo veo en las personas de mi edad (Gen Z), creo que es debido a la gran accesibilidad de la teconología en estos tiempos, esencialmente no obligando al ser humano a crear o consumir contenido que valga la pena. Me da miedo por la generación que viene después de nosotros, ya que espero que ellos puedan desenvolverse bien y puedan pensar por sí mismos.
vast majority of movies suck imo. I liked No Country for Old Men. but that was '07
Yeah, we don’t really have scheduled programming (TV) anymore since everything is just streamed. That and there’s so much on any of them that you’ll never see it all.

This video feels strangely like it was made for me, and not in like a narcissistic "everything is actually about me way"
The motivations and backstory of the main character match my own, as well as that initial awkwardness in trying to get his students to focus on the topic at hand
Really hit home for me, great work
8:57 You don't teach for the whole class, you teach for those few. They that have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
School teachers deserve all the respect. They have to deal with our nonsense everyday trying to teach us stuff we’ll probably need in life while we’re just trying to survive the school years.
Do they? Very few of them actually teach anything you'd actually need through life. Classes like history or second languages are just glorified hobbies and learning anything useful, like how interest works or paying taxes, is usually such a small portion of the overall subject a 14 year old is likely to forget it by the end of the year.
@@ragnnohab Im sure for even taxes or interests, the students probably still wouldnt care
@@ragnnohab Guess it depends on the school and the teacher
The US public school system is a fuckin joke
@@ragnnohabhistory is important on a global level. On an individual level, a specific student may not really need this information in life, but when not a single person in the country has any idea about their own country's history - the country's doomed.
It's important for everybody to have even just the basic knowledge of their history, and even if they forget it, they'll still have some idea about it.

@@COolKID-zt2ow The bad behaviors of the kids are the same, but the difference is that now the kids are not held accountable for their behaviors like they were in the past.

Thank you for that ending. I can be discouraging at times, especially when people make it very obvious they don't care what you have to say, but sometimes you do reach some and you end up becoming a big part in their lifes journey.
Even though its really easy to punch down on the youth theres still a lot of hope for some of them
Mathew's smile at the end of the video was priceless.
As a future teacher , it always sounded like a scary experience. Throughout the years , the passion has always been there but the pressure seems heavier every year. I don’t know if I should find this motivating or even scarier. And I think that’s what I always loved about this channel. Thank you for another great cinematic and psychological experience.
This was it. This was my experience as a teacher. My time as an English teacher could have been a complete black pill, however; there were a handful of students like the one at the end that made it worth it.
As a new licensed teacher who lost his passion for teaching because of all the bs requirements just to get a job and children getting very annoying, this video has ignited some of that passion.
Thanks, as always Millennia.
As someone whose been out of school for over a decade, I can't imagine how awful the teaching experience must be these days. The worst thing I ever did in school was get into a fight or two but I was always pretty respectful with my teachers because of the shit they put up with. Probably helps that most of mine in highschool I knew outside of the school through friends and family.
Great Teacher Onizuka!
I am a teacher. Or I was, until the mass psyop of 2020-2022. The point is, your input determines your output. I was loved and respected by most if not all my students. This was thanks to the dedication and energy I put into developing my own teaching style, methodology and overall performance in order to make my lessons engaging. It never felt like a job, except for the paperwork. I lived like a monk tho, but I was indeed the best teacher in the school.
Before she had a stroke, my mother taught Croatian language (one of the most important subjects in Croatian schools), really passionate, extremely knowledgeable, graduated as one of the best students of her generation in philosophy and Croatian language. Her first job was in high school where she did well and was pretty satisfied with how it went. Her and my dad had to move to a different city where she couldn't find a sport as a high school teacher so she had to degrade herself into working in middle school (basically 5th-8th grade, high school here is 9th to 13th). Nothing wrong with working there, but she was way overqualified for that.
She worked there for most of her life and slowly she became more nervous and started having anger issues and would sometimes be angry at me and my brother for no reason other than having bad days at work. She never did anything physical, but you could see how sometimes she'd come back and be nice towards me or my brother even when we'd get bad grades, but sometimes she would be really angry and annoyed. To her, it was basically "I try so hard to teach everyone and help everyone and then I come home in a bad mood and the first thing I hear is that my child is doing badly". I couldn't understand it when I was younger, but nowadays I can really understand how it felt. Passionately working hard and trying your best to give your students an immersive and an interesting experience on learning and preparing them for tests, only for most of them to do very badly and to talk during classes and make fun of the class and act like spoiled little brats. It's a huge difference working between middle school and high school. After a lot of time of working there, she was thinking about quiting, but was very hesitant (I found this out later). While working there she started developing migraines and after years of working there she had a stroke. She barely survived, but couldn't continue working. She says that not having to work there again is a blessing and that she is really happy now even when she doesn't have a job and has a lot of boring days home. And it's sad how such a talented and smart person that genuinely cared about her students basically wasted her potential working in a middle school full of annoying brats. Me and my bro are gonna graduate college soon and I feel lucky that my mom worked as a teacher because brother and I always had a drive to study hard and think about our future, so I wouldn't say that it's completely wasted.
Well, here in the US, all grade level teachers have the same requirements so it is not considered any lesser than being a High School teacher. However, middle school teachers are actually respected more because they have to handle the worse behavior.
I also plan to be a history teacher but I always turn down myself due to theese situations that can happen to me but this video gave me some more hope in my future plans. Thanks for theese quality contents you create on the platform.
Woah! this hits like a TRUCK!
I'm a Colombian English teacher (About to end the 5 years studying in college) and I'm glad I have chosen English, not just because it's fun in many ways, but because I have plenty of things to relate my classes and making them interesting and maybe Life changing, I hope to get into a proper state school and life relatively calm with many stories passing in front of me (the Students and their lives) helping them to push forward and giving some or a lot of motivation to continue or change to their best possible form!
It seems that you have been brainwashed with the Anglo-American worldview and ideology. English is no longer the global, prestigious language and it never really was. It is not a difficult language at all, but Anglo-Americans tend to be difficult and toxic people which makes language learning difficult. Colombians will be culture shock to find out that Anglo-Americans will not be friendly to South Americans, no less the British. German would be a better option to learn and teach to be honest.
I absolutely don't like to admit it, but this was me when I was in middle school and high school. I had been in a school from Pre k to 7th grade, and I acted in a manner they didn't like, was left out, and was in general just the "strange" kid, I was also confused about my identity and my orientation by this point. I told my parents what went on because it got particularly worse in 7th grade and I truly just wanted to have some friendships for once and have a chance for joy in my teenage years. I have to also add that by this point I was addicted to screens, online world and whenever that was taken away from me, I would unironically break down emotionally, and my grades weren't particularly great either, specially math (I had to do summer school due to math, which ironically brought me some fleeting friendships that didn't last, but at least it was nice to have people that seemed to care about me for at least a bit for the first time in my life.)
I must also mention that I suffer from Dyspraxia, which affects my coordination, concentration and movement; that also made me a target because I was "slower" than my peers, also my mom didn't have my back at that point until I told her how awful the picking and alienation had been getting, she always sided with the teachers and the mothers from the other kids because I "slowed" down the class and didn't catch up as well.
They eventually changed me from schools, and I remember the first day I was excited due to the prospect of maybe forming friendships, having good grades and whatnot. That day came, I remember trying my best to act like a social butterfly even though I wasn't very good at it, but eventually, a girl caught on and told me to "back off" because she wanted to be with her friends and I wasn't, and for the remainder of that year, I didn't speak to any people except for girls that just wanted to make fun of me under the guise of trying to be "my friends". How did I catch that? Never asked me to hang out with them unless it was to emotionally vent on me or just make fun of me on a way or another, but at the time I thought it was friendship.
Anyway, I particularly remember making this Chemistry teacher's life impossible, I was so frustrated with everything that was going on with me internally, the school and I was so addicted to screens that anything that wasn't a screen didn't mean anything to me by that point, as it was my only comfort. I also never went out anywhere and my days were just spent online, didn't develop a personality other than melancholy and envy for others. That Chemistry teacher showed me that I was an unreasonable person and actually broke down emotionally in front of me and threatened to tell my parents because of how poor my grades were being and how terrible I was to him, at the time I thought he had it on for me and didn't listen to him, also couldn't help my mom's yelling and whatnot when she went to pick up my report cards. I was so numb to it all and I just DIDN'T CARE, I didn't feel empathy towards my teachers because I already felt and knew that I was a failure so why did it matter? Got worse and worse in that school regarding grades and how the other people felt about me and whatnot, but eventually the school closed down in 2020 (You can assume why). By that point I went to a pscyhologist because I was afraid of the girls from school pinning me down and making my life impossible, I was very terrified everyday and that was on the top of my mind for most of my time, and I realized I had made a lot of mistakes in my life and I just dwelled on guilt from that point until I graduated.
I did the same thing to the math and chemistry teacher on the school I switched to, but she seemed to be more understanding and put a harder leash on me because she was definitely used to this type of crap coming from students, and she offered to tutor me off the clock. She was very kind until the day I graduated and gave me very good advice the day my mom and I went to pick up my credits from school, and that made me realize...I had no passion for many things, I had no personality, no friendships, I did get a boyfriend but I still felt like I lacked important things within myself. Now I am doing better, I still have no friendships other than my boyfriend, I am going to uni to study psychology even though I have had my fair deal of rough patches with my mental health, so I wonder if I am even gonna be a good one...I wanna prove to people that I can be a good, moral person that has their crap together. As of right now I am 20 and I am still struggling with having hobbies, personalities and being more independent, I don't even know how to drive. I feel bad because I know that it's all on me the fact I am like this, but I worry about the future of our upcoming generation that displays similar traits to me when I was at my lowest. I think modernity really has to change.
Anyway, thanks for being here and reading this.
I hope you're doing well

Thanks for the terrific video.
Teaching can be tough... I've had my fair share of tricky students- ones that are disruptive. But when I was a student, I was the disruptive one, so I guess it's all coming back around. I was an ADHD student, so I was always getting into trouble and rarely understanding why. I'd always been talking or doing things and being noisy, but I always wanted to be the good kid, and I wanted to be liked and I wanted to get good grades. So it was always really difficult for me to get screamed at and scolded and told that I was "disappointing everyone," especially because I just didn't understand why... It was so frustrating. But I had an encounter with a counselor who didn't yell at me, didn't scold me, and just tried her best to understand and help me. It was like the first time in my life I felt like I was being understood. That experience stuck with me. It's what inspired me to become a teacher.
As adults who work with children, we should strive to remember what it was like to be a child. How it felt to be screamed at by a teacher, how it felt to be told we were "disappointing" or that we should just "apply ourselves." How it felt that despite giving your best efforts, to still be misunderstood and labeled as a "problem." The adults I work with now often do the same things teachers did to me when I was a student. They scream and yell and scold out of frustration, just as their teachers probably did to them. Not that I don't understand... Students often try my patience, seemingly disobeying simple commands or doing their best to undermine the lessons however they can. Sometimes students feel like literal monsters, and you feel powerless to control the lesson, and eventually, burned out- powerless to teach and inspire.
But have we forgotten how it feels to be in the desk? How it feels to be the student? I think most of us would look out into the sea of young people who use words we don't know, play games we don't like, watch media we don't understand, and just see them as NPCs, like the feels guy in the video. But not too long ago, we were the NPCs our teacher couldn't understand. We were the ones using dumb new words, more concerned with texting and Nintendo games than learning about American history or geology. Nothing's changed. Don't forget how you felt when you were in that chair.
I remember how it felt to try to be a good student, only to be misunderstood. I remember how it felt to be labeled as a troublemaker, as a "bad kid." I remember how it felt going to school everyday thinking no one would every really understand me. I remember how it felt getting screamed at and blamed by adults I trusted.
I remember feeling guilty. I remember feeling confused. I remember feeling stupid. I always felt stupid.
I remember how it felt- so that I can be better.
I'm an assistant English teacher in Japan right now, and even then I feel this so deeply. Before, I wanted to teach music, to help enrich and instill positive values to help them be more aware and thoughtful people. While I still hold to that, I feel now my goal is to just get the kids to talk, to engage beyond translation software. I can only imagine for full fledged teachers - especially based on these comments - how it must be for them.
1:48 Flint Lockwood's dad?
I work as a lower grade teacher (age 6-9). I love all my students. They are a bit michevious but I have a strong relationship to every student and I help them guide through things in life. The students aren't the difficult part of the job for me, it's other things - bad bosses, bad budget (too many students per class), too many administrational tasks, overwhelming parents, etc. The students make it all worth it tho.
Last year, at the end term ceremony I made cards to each of my students. I drew cartoon portraits of them and wrote them all a letter on the card about their different personalities and how fantastic they were. The letters were very personalized. At that time, they were 8-9 years old. I got a thank you e-mail from a mom that summer, because her son couldn't stop reading the card while crying.
the great teacher onizuka refference at 3:00 is crazy
I thought that nobody noticed it.
You beat me by 3 months. I was looking for this comment.
Im the kid who always asks the teacher about stuff in class or chat about the subject they're teaching, its those days where you learn something you didnt even know exists, and thats the fun of it.
Teachers need to be appreciated more and not taken for granted.
Heck, I worked as a university teacher for nine years, I also came into this profession because of the idea of changing something for the better. I faced the same problems as the actor in the video, pressure from management, low salary, indifference from students. But I really love this profession, even though I had to leave for a new job. The final moment when the teacher is asked a question by an interested student after the lecture is wonderful. This is why being a teacher is worth it. Thanks to the author, this video really touched my feelings.
that's why the '' make your passion your work and you'll never work a day in your life '' is BS ; making your passion your work is the best wait to destroy said passion
Being a teacher must really suck like it's accepptional to get bullied as a teacher
I'd say its not you problem, its more like the world's fucked up beyond belief or understanding. Or rather, that this world is not for people like us, and will remain as such. You either force your life to be deformed by this influence, or submit. Or, possibly, push back, with a community of like minded individuals
then what should be the other option, genius? to hate my job? To be a neet?
tbf, i honestly love my job. it's a lot like college. except that, rather than pay for it, I'm the one getting paid.
@@MaxPower3532 Its your choice man, its not like I say you should endorse in anything you came up with. Not trying to be toxic or anything.
I love the GTO references man, That was my shit, I love Onizuka with a passion
I work as a Middle School teacher. Next year I'm getting my Masters degree in another field and leaving after 4 years. 50% of the field quits in the first 5 years. The system is broken.
man the last part was so beautiful i love this channel
the breaking of the mask of the child made me feel emotional and the quote at the end im going through some times and the quote when passion is lost so do we man u hited hard with this
I'm glad you ended it on a positive note, as if there is a glimmer of hope that there is someone is at least interested.
I saw that kind of class when i was in the middle school, total chaos. Teachers got it so hard man, they're burning out so quickly, it's deeply saddening to see a young and passionate teacher going to teach with a hope of inspiring young blood only to burn out year or two later...
Teacher here. Not gonna lie: this job has a steep learning curve. The first six years or so are rough. By around year seven, something clicks, you get it, and everything settles into a well-oiled machine.
I know this is a comedy (?) video, but if anyone's genuinely curious, here's this teacher's mistakes:
1. Taking a job at a school that doesn't even have projectors and laptops in the classroom. No PPTs and no videos means no engaging lessons.
2. Answering student questions instead of letting the kids discuss the answer among themselves. When that one kid asked "why do we study history?" he should have just said "Excellent question! For one point, can anyone here answer Timmy's question?" and then let them go at it.
3. Not making an effort to keep up with current pop culture, ie. what the kids are into. You don't need to be able to name every pickaxe in Minecraft but you should at least know what Euphoria is (not that kids should be watching Euphoria lol)
4. Not confiscating phones when you see them. No "first warning" shit. Set the rules on the first day of class. Anyone who brings their phone after that is getting it confiscated for the day.
5. Taking a teaching job where they somehow pay less than a waiter (lol). Teachers make decent money. Not huge. But very livable. Here in Vancouver the teacher salaries range from about 70,000-90,000 a year (Canadian).
I don't know for certain where author of the video is from (Poland?), but I'm pretty sure what he's portraying is pretty close to the general situation in eastern europe/post-soviet countries. Here in Russia teachers are notorious for sometimes having an absurdly small salary, plus more often than not a classrom doesn't have laptops or (although on much rarer occasions) even projectors
Pop culture is trash now, so I make no bones about being entirely disinterested in it.
@@ВладимирПетров-д1м Then in that case he knows what he signed up for. 🤷 He can make the best with what he has, but such a tiny salary and no proper equipment in the classroom sounds rough.
@TheGuzeinbuick you don't always know that before you sign up to it (if you're observed at interview usually they stick you in the room with a projector to "inspect" your PowerPoint-making skills). Once you have the job you'll never be in that room ever again. They only want to check your PowerPoint skills so that you can cover for others down the line.
@@Ryan-dk7mm Another rookie mistake. An experienced teacher politely asks for a tour of the campus at the end of the interview. I'm talking classrooms, offices, printing rooms, auditoriums, etc.
I love the references to GTO
keep up the great content homie
i usually don’t ever comment or youtube videos but you are now one of my favorite creators on this app. The ending made me so happy for the teacher
this is one of the best ones in my opinion
07:17
Hell naw!!!!!! How old are those kids?!?!?! Knowing "Euphoria" is real trauma-core (if we speak about the right Euphoria... the disturbing one)
the tv show? the hentai?
Teacher here 🙋
Teachers are always portrayed as these depressed people due to uncaring students but this hasn't been my case AT ALL. I've been working as an ELT teacher for like 2 years and I gotta say this is the best job there could ever be.
The only downside is the low salary but everyone has that problem unless you're in sales(which is really fucking stressful) or a god damn tech wizard(which may require years of training + the risk of your job getting taken away by an asshole who invents an app) so I'd say it's a pretty good deal for what it is.
The thing is, video portrays the situation in eastern hemisphere. There, as well as in many post-Soviet countries things in school go very closely with whats shown in the video. Working conditions in there in almost every type of job can destroy your soul in their very own and painful way.
I wish you well, so the good will continue in your life, just wanted to add something from a different perspective
@@ДанилАбдибеков Eh depends, in high school I had really cool teachers that were interested or liked teaching and if you asked them question they would love to answer it
Preach the Gospel and warn other about GOD'S Wrath
@@ReadtheBIBLE-f4g Nah dawg. You do that
Being an ELT teacher is nothing like being a regular teacher as is portrayed here.
So little story here.
I'm quite diffrent from people my age(17), interesting thing I noticed in school is that when you pay some attention to a teacher, (like take real interest in something they teach) and ask few questions etc. they cheer up quickly (in their own way of course). Some told me they're grateful for that, it seemed like they sensed some kind of hope in me. Some teachers are really great persons to talk with(better than classmates), also when they get to know me a bit better, I hear that they respect me.
Wow mine just get mad/make fun of me if I ask questions
look, to say i love teachers and respect them is a understatement, but this really gives me a new outlook into there lives and makes me empathise with them a whole lot.
Damn, you made an increadible job to catch the vibes of the average eastern european school, besides the general school cliches. Seeing the box of snickers in the small buffet, and the teachers having their coffee break there with the buffet lady reminded me of my own school way too much
this wasn't 0$ budget or 1$ budget this is on a whole nother level
His vids always hit so hard
I started teaching history this year there are some kids that maje it all worth.
Amen. Hate it when they have to leave the classroom 🥲
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin just had one leaving school because her colleague cursed her and the school gave little to no punishment. Clown world.
Millenia thinker is that one channel that really touched me about some things in life.
Never stop being passionate, loud, wild and completely free. The people that still stick around with you after all that are the only ones worth a damn ✨
6:53 oh yeah also you learn a lot of cool stuff.
...like rome.
W ending
Also 8:26 is why my school and other schools banned phones. Stop complaining that you can’t your dopamine brainrot machine on when you’re supposed to be learning
Learning what exactly?
@@eddiesmith7867 whats being taught
@@Aperson-rs4eh which is?
@@eddiesmith7867 youd know if you payed attention during class
@@Aperson-rs4eh Everything people learned in school isn't relevant at all in anyones adult life. Elementary schooling is the only education that could become useful as an adult
If your a History teacher you should talk to the kids about Assassin's Creed as a way to show why History is important and cool.
yeah and the wakanda samurai's xD It used to be based on history but not anymore
The assassins creed series is incredibly mediocre tho💀
@@username113 Is that what zoomers think of it?
@@wojciechsz9833the black samurai was real. He was a real dude who existed.
We've done Assassin's Creed analysis in my class.
My heart goes out to the teachers. I was a disrespectful student once. Id never want to be put through that as a teacher.
I still remember the teacher who helped me get average grades in English Lit when all other teachers looked down on me because of my speech and language disorder. It honestly gave me confidence to pass my exams. I'm no teacher (im a girl scouts leader) but it is rewarding being able to inspire a child and give them some life experience as well as a safe space
