He did not step forward when asked the 1st question about politicising the classroom but all he did was defend "his woke political ideology" he hates the parents who dont want his radical agenda pushed on their kids and he hates the kids individually. He defended it by yelling DATA and LAW. When we all know data is so easily manipulated and the law IS NOT on the side of "THE FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY NOT ON THE SIDE OF CHILDREN." The law in america under total neoliberal control is locking up parents who dont want their children indoctrinated into depravity, protesters and anyone who they now deem as terrorists. While giving violent career criminals freedom to continue to assault and murder innocent citizens with utter impunity. Liberal prosecutors are NOT even giving them a slap on the wrist. AND LIBERAL JUDGES ARE LETTING PREDITORS WITH CHILD PORN ON COMPUTERS GO FREETO CONTINUE TO ALLOW CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS TO CONTINUE ABUSING CHILDREN AND CHILD GROOMERS TO CONTINUE GROOMING.
Yeah that come off a bit bad sounding, although to his defense. It kind of sounded like he was saying he has a whole entire school of kids that he needs to tend to and care about, an the position he holds means that he needs to kind of care about the teachers as well.. So I can understand him saying that he doesn't have the time to focus on the issues of one specific child.. At the same time, he later explained how he has students who come to him for father advice and support. An that he has helped students with paying their bills, or placing them in a hotel etc.. So idk how "telling" that really necessarily was, in regards to how much he cares about people's kids individually. I mean he obviously cares as a whole and in the individual cases he mentioned, but does he care about what these students are being taught ? Or about what individual teachers are teaching in their classroom ? That's what I would maybe wonder about or question a little..
Yeah, he doesn't care about your kid's innocence. I was annoyed about him. He dismissed what parents are concerned about because he supposedly doesn't have time. It takes no time to leave out pronoun training.
@@MaticTheProto when you focus on making sure everyone is comfortable, it trains kids to expect the real world to be like that. But it's not, and it never has been. Kids need to be taught how to control their emotions, not how to adjust the world to their emotions.
I had a 6th grade social studies teacher who taught us Greek mythology, which got the topic of religion brought up. Everybody in the class was declaring what they believed and someone asked the teacher what he believed. You know his answer? “I worship squirrels and give them nuts as offerings”. We all laughed and got back to learning about Greek mythology. He deflected the question perfectly and I still don’t know what he believes in to this day. Best teacher I ever had.
I came from a small town. If I didn’t know what church my teacher went to my parents did. Guess what. Never had an issue of a teacher pushing religion in a school. Even when I lost my faith and became an atheist and it came out. A teacher who didn’t like me made the statement so what. He said something to the effect of I believe in one more god than he does. We both agree on the Greeks and the Viking gods being false. And that was the end of it. Kids still gave me shit but. I didn’t feel like teachers gave a fuck.
That is the best response. Get asked your orientation? Im attracted to homework. Get asked whether you are left or right? Im on the political north. Responding with nonsense joke answers to politically charged questions from kids is one of the best ways to avoid a debate. Of course, if you want it to be turned into a big deal, just say the most extreme left or right thing, doesn't really matter, and viola, now your math class becomes mixed martial arts! Anyway, I love that way more than just ignoring or rejecting the question.
On the topic of teachers being armed, I disagree with Amala. I believe the government is too incompetent to differentiate between passive mental illnesses and aggressive mental illnesses. When Amala said that some people who are mentally unwell shouldn't have guns kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I believe that Walk The Talk America has the right idea. Instead of having unwell people choose between their right to keep and bear arms and treating their mental illness, have them protect their rights and get treated.
I taught elementary school for over 25 years. During that time many students asked me to confirm their statements about the existence of God. I refused each time. I am an atheist but never identified myself as such. When I was asked my opinion about God I responded that they should have that discussion with their parents.
As a Christian, I can respect that. You seem more polite about it than a lot of Atheists I’ve met, seeing as you try to avoid religion and do not mock it.
As a Christian, I respect that stand. It is respectful to a subject that is very personal to individual families and culture to not assume that you have authority over such subjects.
A friend's daughter got suspended for two weeks because she refused to sit in on a lesson about sexual orientation, identity, and pronouns. She wasn't comfortable with it. At 10 years old. She did what she was taught and tried to walk away. She was surrounded and bullied by teachers for over an hour. She didn't budge. She stood her ground. Her dad came and got her; put everyone in their place and rewarded her with a vacation at my house (my st pyrenees is her Barkin Bestie). We're looking at homeschooling.
My teacher today when we were reading the house on mango street tried to convince us that Marin from that book was oppressed and forced to marry a rich man which she didn’t and then made it about sexuality and sexism instead of poverty btw I’m mixed my parents are lesbian and my dad has a p*ssy
Another parents who think that they know better what to teach kids. It's important to talk about sex with pre pubescent, so 13 year old girls won't appear pregnant because they don't know how babies are made!
I remember this boy in my class was making fun of periods. He ended up saying some thing along the lines of “wow, I can’t do anything I’ve got my period.” And my science teacher made me so proud. She looked him dead in the eye and said “I don’t care what you do with your life, your body, and your money. But you will NEVER know how it feels to go through a period.” And I can’t explain the amount of respect that I had for her in that moment.
@@delta-9969 the teacher would be fired, but it would still be a true statement. I don’t care if anyone is trans or not. There is no way that a man can have a period, and to joke about it wether he was trans or not is wrong
@@billpardew2375 he was, but it doesn’t make it any better that there are still people in the world who are biologically men that believe that they can experience the same pain a woman does when her uterus sheds
I had a civics teacher in highschool who was spectacular. His focus was to remove himself and his feelings from the education. Infact, people constantly tried to guess his political leanings, but he was very dismissive when asked. On his last day of teaching, before he retired, after he dismissed his last class he finally disclosed his political leanings, and everyone's guesses were wrong! WHY?? Because he was an educator, not an influencer.
I had the same experience. I had a World Civilization professor in college, and that man was perhaps the smartest person I have ever met. He spoke on a multitude of different topics, well versed in all of them, and never sounded like he favored one side over the other. He was a true Independent if I ever met one, at a time where nearly every professor I had were die hard liberals and wasted valuable teaching time instead to cover; why Donald Trump is a fascist dictator, our implicit bias, how men are the scorn of the earth, heteronormativity and other subjects that had nothing to do with what we enrolled for. My World Civ professor was a refreshment from all of this, and he educated those that were willing to learn not just about history but politics and science. Most of the students were indoctrinated to the point where they either didn't listen or refused what he had to say. He was a stern, no-nonsense, but a teddybear of a guy that if you got to know him he would pick your brain apart, and you'd be glad he did because of how much information he'd feed you that was erased from our memory banks. I've been shocked as to how indoctrinated college has become, and even more shocked how this type of behavior is exacerbated in grade school which I'm seeing my sister go through. Luckily I'm there everyday to oversee what is going on, and use the same discipline that my professor taught me. I feel bad for the younger generation for what's going on in this education system, and having teachers like the guy in this video wearing a suit.
I was a kid, can't think of anyone who cared about their political beliefs to any degree. But then again, I wasn't raised yesterday. Just funny how it went from 0 people caring, to some, to all
As a high school English teacher I have to say that do not ask for pronouns. I do ask if they have a name they prefer to use. If so - they can either tell me or they can email me. I do this because I went by a nickname. No one even knew my legal name! So that is my purpose. I do not ask for pronouns. I have had students message me that they prefer a certain pronoun. My response is always, “I’ll do my best; however, I can’t promise to remember to use it but I’ll try.” I usually do forget. They usually don’t make a big deal of it either. We do not discuss sex or sexual preference unless it is in the text (but it rarely is - except Shakespeare). I try to gloss over the heavy stuff. I shut down conversations that are controversial UNLESS it’s a debate class - then I keep it civil.
Honestly, I went to a conservative christian school and most of my teachers were open about being republican. I went to school when Obama was elected. They took us to a Republican rally. Personally, I don't see this as a liberal issue. It's a people issue
In economics he manages to teach political subjects in a way where you can’t tell where he stands on the issue. He’s a genius, and one of the few teachers who doesn’t actually make it their job to teach an agenda to their students.
I'm 54. Throughout my entire school time, I never even knew if my teachers were married, let alone gay or not. School is never about personal beliefs. Teachers who get upset because they can't tell their class about their gay weekend activities are evil.
If you prefer such a dry, clinical environment then fair enough. Obviously no one should be forced to learn too much about their teacher's personal lives. You're there to be educated, not to make friends with your teachers. HOWEVER, I must say, as a current high school senior, I personally find it fun getting to know my teachers and building casual (yet still professional) relationships with them. I think it makes my classes much more enjoyable. Obviously ,the personal information I'm talking about comes from natural conversation, not the teachers giving formal lectures about their lives.
I’m 48 and am thankful that I’m not growing up and going to school now. I never knew my teachers political views. In algebra class we learned algebra. In chemistry, we learned chemistry. And in band, we played music, etc. The people that I knew anything personally about were my peers and friends. If a teacher is teaching students about their personal ideas they are not teaching the subject they’re hired to teach.
So I was a junior in high school when Donald Trump won the 2016 election and I volunteered for his campaign so understandably when he won I was happy. I wore a sticker the day after the election and it wasn’t a problem until like the third to last period of the day. My med bio teacher had a speech at the beginning at the class saying what happened last night is causing traumatizing effects for so many in the and for the rest of the school year no one is to say Donald Trump’s name because it’s traumatic. She saw my sticker and told me to take it off because it was hate speech and when I didn’t take the sticker off she threatened to send me to the dean’s office. She literally acted like it was the most traumatizing thing ever but literally at the time I was watching my mom my only parent slowly die in the ICU. She also called me privileged like girl you know nothing about my life and the actual trauma I’ve been through. Like a Donald Trump sticker is simply just a sticker if you get triggered by a name on a sticker you clearly are just used to every one having the same ideology as you and can’t handle different opinions.
@@djusticebeauty4542 what makes it even worse is my mom died during Christmas break of that school year and the teacher was so inconsiderate when I came back to school after a month off because my mom died (my mom was my only parent). Like the teacher had something against me just because I was a Trump supporter!! Like I was 16 I couldn’t even vote but I still volunteered for his campaign because I wanted to make a difference.
My friend went to a college in Virginia. During the election cycle, one of her professors wrote a definition for Donald Trump as a supremacist, and had everyone write it out that way.
There is a huge misconception among teachers that parents have "entrusted" them with educating their kids, but we haven't! We don't trust you. We don't know you, we didn't interview you, and we didn't hire you. Some County official that we also didn't hire hired you. So do your job, stick to the basics, and keep your opinions of the world to yourselves, teachers.
Right not everyone has the privilege of homeschooling, or private school, a religious school, etc. Most of us have no choice in the matter. We have to send our kids to school because we work and can't stay home or don't have the money so choose. I think you can ask to change which class they're in for elementary school since they're in one class with one teacher all day, but that's about it.
@@Samew0001 BEFORE you have children, ensure you have the resources to care for them. Do you clothe them? Do you feed them? Well, providing your children with a solid academic and moral education is just as important. You have failed as a parent if you don't do all of these things. Stop making excuses for keeping your children in a failed government "school." Many Catholic Schools are means based. There are other ways to educate your children. Forcing your children to serve time at a government institution is not one of them.
@@treelinehugger I agree. It's quite selfish for people to go around having children just cuz they want them or think should have them, while not being able to give that child everything it needs to thrive. If you can't give your children that, then don't have them. That's the selfless thing to do, no matter how much you'd like to have children.
In the world you want children are never taught basic civics, that is the world we are currently living in , and I would argue that people make bad citizens.
I am conservative and am an educator. It’s often amusing to hear students guess my political leanings (almost all of them have been wrong because I do not talk politics with them). When we do have sensitive topics I am careful to present all common positions equally. I usually create an environment where they hear the positions and can draw their own conclusions.
When I was in school, my teachers did not talk to us about sex at all. They had specialized sex ed teachers/doctors contracted to come and teach those subjects and then they left and that was it. And what that did was create boundaries between teachers and students that see each other every day and what's extra telling is that I remember my teachers thanking the sex ed educators for sparing them from something they considered uncomfortable.
Say it again for the kids in the back. Boundaries. That’s a big part of the problem. My kids aren’t my friends. My kids’ teachers aren’t their friends. The teachers are teachers. It’s utterly bizarre to me. Question (not for you, but for the crowd): where else in polite society is it ok for adults, without parental knowledge and consent, to tell children about sex, sexuality, and relationships? What adults should be talking to your children (or you as a child) about what anal or oral sex is? What adults should be talking about their romantic relationships? Why do so many teachers today think that casual conversation about all this is ok? I just don’t understand.
i took sex ed in highschool last year for my senior year as it was a requirement to pass, other teachers never said a thing about sex ed. parents also have to sign off and give consent for kids to learn it. i’ve never heard of students being taught about sex by any other teachers.
Ya I remember back in the day when I was in elementary school , we had to get parent permission slip signed . If you talk to kids about adult acts with children without the child’s parent permission,the person should go to jail . Specially teachers , and lose there license.
Yeah, but a pronoun discussion (which is what I guess you are referencing) isn't a sexual discussion. At the bare minimum it's basic English or just being considerate and giving these kids a bit of SEL before thet go postal on groups of people who are different than them. You all are such perverted weirdos. And maybe you all should be taken from kids because you all project your sick child exploitation fantasies on others and protect your worst offenders for political power. It's clear which side has the perverts...
Only if one of the parents is more than capable of doing all of the homeschooling. I've seen some kids turn out great. I've seen others who "graduate" barely able to read, let alone know much.
You got it. The only kids I meet that can read are the ones that have been home schooled. I can tell the ones who went to public school because they can’t read and they have no idea where countries area, they do not know anything about history or math. They know nothing about anything. They don’t even know about civil rights stuff-my daughter didn’t know who Emmett Till was until she recently listened to a movie review about that movie that came out last month about his mother. I would’ve thought that with all the “woke” stuff being taught these days they would’ve covered Emmett Till, but they can’t even get that right. I had to “school” her about Till and a couple of other civil rights icons that were overlooked by her next to useless public school education. Thank goodness my husband and I raised inquisitive, intellectual children who love to read and question the world around them. To them, education never ends.
@@Undomaranel There are co-ops and other structures in place. More resources than ever decrease the reliance on the parent, especially as the child(ren) gets older.
I pulled my sister out of the school she was going to, She's 14 and doesn't need to listen to the garbage that spewing out of their mouth. I'm only 21 but I'm her legal guardian. I found a teacher that knew what she was doing and had good references, she comes 4 times a week. I know it's a little expensive but It's my sis and I love that girl.
That sure is real. Otherwise libs of tick tock would not EXIST. This show although interesting, was almost useless. Because they chose teachers who weren't dumb enough to really tell on themselves...
I went to a private all boys high school (it’s very common in my area for middle class on up), my civics teacher was awesome. He was able to teach a politically charged subject without showing any bias or favoritism - he made both sides and all students sound like morons. He taught everyone to question their biases and leaders no matter the perspective or ideology.
Our school still has consent forms regarding sex-Ed. The issue I had was , my teenage son did want to participate but it went too far and leaned towards sexual pleasure . That was not explained on my consent form. The moment he said he felt uncomfortable, he was reprimanded so he placed his headphones on and ignored the rest of the class. This led to his teacher wanting disciplinary action from the principal. I explained to the principal the moment he said he was uncomfortable, he could have been escorted outside but expecting to him to remain is equal to forcing someone to work feeling sexually harassed. My son wasn’t disruptive, he didn’t argue back to his teacher-he ignored her . She wanted him to have an in-school suspension. That didn’t happen. I told her we will take the FAIL and he’s homeschooled now.
@@breekwhal Maybe he wanted to be homeschooled, especially given the fact that kids were basically homeschooled for the past two years anyway. What's more, homeschooling doesn't equate to a cloistered life devoid of socialization. You can have friends and be homeschooled. You can even develop school-like setting with homeschooling co-ops (which are becoming more popular). So he isn't really missing out. Public school is a very recent development anyway- nothing wrong with fostering peer relationships around interests and community rather than manufacturing date.
I like how the teachers especially the one gentleman said we like to see parents be involved yet not even 2 minutes before that complained he was tired of dealing with parents and explaining the answers to their concerns
Not only that but at one point he says he doesn't care about the kids than in the same dialogue says that parents aren't parenting so it's left up to the teachers. Absolutely amazing the acrobatics going on in that mans head. He cares until he doesn't or until it benefits him 😒
Because people out here crazy...and we've all seen it by now, it happens a lot, they have apoint to make and you better listen, but right after say something that totally negates what they just said. Like calling people racist but then say a "white person can't talk about race"
Not all people are reasonable. You don’t have problems with patience with others? Businesses want customer feedback, but we also say that people are Karen’s and Ken’s. Everyone is not respectful or reasonable.
When that teacher said "we encourage parents to come to school and be involved" that's a mf lie. They have been doing everything in their power to keep us out for the past 3+ years. I used to go spend the day with my daughter at least once a year and observe and help if needed and at the school she went to from 1st-4th grade, yes they did let me come whenever I wanted even just to eat lunch whenever I wanted to. Then when she went into intermediate/middle school, they made it impossible for parents to even come into the office to speak to the principal who didn't respond to emails. The same principle who lied to the police about me to try to get me arrested for being inside the school and then was caught in the lie by the police, nothing happened to him for falsifying a report to the police and getting caught lying real time, the police just told him they couldn't arrest me because I didn't do anything wrong and that he didn't have the write to keep me out of the school my daughter attended. He was told to allow me to come spend another day observing since he unnecessarily interrupted our day including my daughter's ability to finish the school day because we were told to leave anyway. It was a disgusting abuse of power.
I generally agree with your sentiment and it does seem like the basic idea (that admin/teachers don't want parents at school) is applicable to many schools, but it is necessary to note that schools do not all operate under the same rules or culture. Even in the same district, two schools can have almost radically different cultures depending various factors, including admin. tl;dr: your experience may not generalize.
If you can afford to and have the time, you should jerk her out of that school and homeschool her! If you feel unsure about your abilities, there are homeschool coops that will help that also have some group classes in some subjects, so your child can interact with other kids.
I went to school to ask my daughter's teacher an outline of the curriculum for that year so I can help. She looked at me suspiciously and asked 'why'. She looked very worried. I couldn't understand.
I don't understand why teachers can't just teach the subjects they are supposed to teach and leave everything else to the parents. Even if a student asked a question that could lead to a more personal topic such as gender, the teacher should simply say "That's a valid question and I think it's important that you ask your parents about that when you get home."
Sadly, like the "I was a teacher, now I'm a professor" guy, they think that most parents are idiots (though I think his words were "uneducated") and incapable of teaching their children anything...even personal views...correctly.
I love that we’re seeing the representation of alternative conservative parents. My husband and I have tattoos and piercings so people often think we’re super liberal 😹
My husband and I met a super sweet Catholic couple while buying something on OfferUp. The wife was decked out in tattoos, and had purple hair, but was so conservative and based! It was so cool to see
You're right. It's a shame they're not learning more about their history and books are being pulled from shelves. We've entered an era of 1930s all over again with politicians openly calling for eradication of a group of people.
When I was in high school, I sent my favorite librarian a friend request on Facebook. Side note, she's a lovely person and everyone loved her. I found out later when she came to mg grandfather's funeral that she had been best friends with my mom and aunt but neither of us knew and they've since reconnected. I was a senior and 18 at the time, so I figured it was okay to send the request but when I saw her at school, she apologized but said while I was still a student there, she wouldn't accept it because it was inappropriate. I understood. That was just ten years ago. Blows my mind how deep they're diving in the school system.
Today school administrators would have accepted your request and started offering advice on whether to use spit or lube. The saddest part is no one would hold them accountable either.
Predators want to be close to their prey. When they’re close to their prey they can groom them mentally and emotionally for their own beneficial narrative
Yeah I know teachers that play online videogames with their students. And as cool and harmless as that sounds, I do believe it should be kept a strictly professional relationship and not be allowed, at least until the students graduate. Playing the video game in class on a lazy day or as a reward with your teacher, with the rest of the class, is very different and that I would be fine with as long as the parents can sign off.
@@brookemcboredface4290 If I was a parent that was aware of it, I’d be visiting the school. Most districts still have social media policies that are signed as part of your employment contract. I’m a school district employee and our policy requires us to agree not to “friend” any student online (even if it’s a friend of your own child’s) We also are not allowed to identify ourselves as a district employee online.
When I was in the 4th and 5th grades, we also had sex education at school and had to bring home permission slips for our parents to sign before we could go. I grew up in a very conservative Christian household and my parents signed it but gave me no permission to attend those classes. And it was split between boys and girls, so when all the boys were attending their class I was sitting alone with all of the girls as an outcast. And when all the boys came back from their class they were teasing me with terms I didn't understand. I had a very awkward 3-minute conversation with my dad about sex, but honestly I learned mostly everything I know about sex from pornography, which is very sad to me as well.
I don't think they taught anything useful. The only thing I remember from those classes were kids jumping rope sing "A-I-D-S it's not for me it's not for me."
If the parents decline permission, the onus is on them to enable their kids to have a basic understanding of secmxual anatomy and physiology and psychology. I declined my sons' participation (because I found factual inaccuracies in the learning material) and I opted to teach them. I teach these subjects at tertiary level. I feel that I am competent. Some parents may, absolutel, NOT support this essential learning. Please, just please, can we create a list of neutral anatomical / physiological information that those kids who DO have parents who decline participation can access, so that they are not "learning" from pornography.
So the one lady said she "won't teach anything that's heteronormative." To her, my question would be "why is the subject of gender coming up in your curriculum?" To me, gender is irrelevant to the vast majority of what kids should be taught in schools, and if teachers were focused on their subjects instead of their agendas, this would be a lot less of an issue.
I love the point Taylor made, “if they are arguing that they are teaching different lifestyles then will they teach about the Christian lifestyle?.” Of course not because there is only 1 agenda behind it and they show it off with the facade of “we’re just trying to include everyone blah blah mushy mushy” will they teach about the female genital mutilation they perform in Middle East countries? Etc Oh wait they’re doing that in America too 😂
Ok dreadheaded dad is goals. He’s grounded, compassionate, calm, and so well spoken. This guy needs a guest appearance or his own da** show. I love that optically he represents leftist culture, and therefore bridges the gap between alternative culture and conservative culture. Conservatives aren’t just loud heteronormative white guys in suits…. I wish conservatives were more fairly represented. People even look at me and, depending on my outfit or the situation (like me being on duty in my military uniform versus wearing trendy clothes running around in Portland) and make a whole slew of assumptions that are always somewhat inaccurate but wholly based on my appearance and their beliefs. Meanwhile I don’t really belong to either group.. But being moderate or neutral simply isn’t an option in this polarized environment; you MUST be one or the other. You must be an enemy or an ally. And that applies to so many things in modern day. You’re a feminist ally or a misogynist, you’re conservative or liberal, you’re black or white, you have zero criticism for anyone in the LGBTQ community or you’re homophobic, etc.,etc.. we need to reintroduce middle ground and nuance or we will be ruined by irrational bipartisan civil conflict.
Conservatives want less Government, less taxes, less State interference with our schools and kids, and some base it off Constitutional values and beliefs or Religious values and beliefs. There are other religions besides Christianity but the left only goes after Christ
Conservatives do not want the polarization. We just want to raise our children in peace. The left made everything polarized and politicized. We got along before and the last 10 years it’s becoming extreme. At this point. Yes. You MUST know where you stand. You need to have a opinion and we can’t just go along to get along. It s too much at risk. America has fallen. We need to decide if we get back up, or lay down
It's also important to be aware that teachers aren't the student's parents, so some teachers don't actually care about your kids. Also I'd like to add that the purpose of going to school is so you can gain useful knowledge that can help you in the working field later on or whatever career you pursue. Mathematics, Literature, economics and so on. This is what parents expect their kids to learn at school.
Hearing these teachers basically say they don't care about the parents or the kids individually, they just want to get through their day with their students placated, makes me want to hug all my teachers for being such good influences in my life.
I am already questioning “school choice” as a mom of a 4 year old going into pre-k. I don’t want my child being raised thinking that genders are infinite, that it’s whatever you feel like. I want her knowing the truth, biological truth. I think by asking these types of questions you’re just planting a seed for children to develop gender insecurity and then dysphoria. So instead of telling her gender is a spectrum of whatever the fuck… I’m just going to tell her she is a biological female because that’s truth. If she wants to wear “boy clothes” I would just tell her it’s okay to experiment with clothes, boys don’t necessarily own colors (blue) and it’s okay to like certain things that may be viewed as traditionally masculine. But at the end of the day, she’s a she; a girl/female.
Clothes can be put on and taken off without issue. Same with makeup. Hair can be cut. The flesh is weak, it gets old and shrivels and dies. But being male or female is deeper than bone. It exists before you are born and nothing you do in life can change it.
home schooling or finding the just right school is probably one of the best options. I’m in high school right now and they do push all of it in your face with slide shows, videos etc and if you don’t agree with it you could get suspended
3 years ago at school I had a teacher who refused to speak about what religion she had because she said it didn’t matter…I look at it now and all the teachers should be like her
@@daniellarkins3849 I had a teacher in highschool which was over 6 years ago who was very open and showy about being a feminist and gave extra credit opportunities where you would find an article online explaining a way in which women are oppressed and then post it on her class room door facing the hallway. There were also 2 people who were consistently late to class, one being a boy, one being a girl, and the girl was often more late and usually because she slept in, whereas the boy started out being about the same amount late, but gradually started making an effort to be on time despite it mostly being his family not getting up on time to take him to class if for no reason other than the fact that the teacher would ridicule him and embarrass him in front of the class for being even a minute late and send him to the principal's office whereas with the girl she would be let into the class with no drama or fanfare often saying that "there's probably a reason she was late." One of my friends went to the same school and once he was outed for being conservative due to an overtly political question asked in a U.S. history class. He quickly noticed a sharp decline in his grades with the notes on said papers often not describing numerical, grammatical, or structural errors with his work but rather that he was wrong for thinking a certain way about a topic. "I don't know what world you live in, but most teachers don't teach their private affairs." That is reductive and condescending. This is happening in the real world that you, I and everyone else share, and whether or not you choose to acknowledge what's happening outside of your immediate surroundings has no bearing on how these issues should be approached, much less handled.
@@usnerdswillbenerds4889 MOST teachers don't. I don't want to be rude, but I fail too see where I was wrong in my statement. There was an article I read from about three years ago where a teacher told a young boy with two dads rhat they were living in sin. The knife cuts both ways.
@@daniellarkins3849 Maybe you're right & I hope you are. That the majority of teachers aren't sharing their personal interests with their class. My children have had a least one teacher in every grade in 4 different schools. That's 12 my oldest has dealt with and 5 my youngest has endured. 1 was even suspended & removed from a school because she made overtly biased anti-trump worksheets for homework. It may not be happening around you but it is happening.
This makes me realize how lucky I truly am to have such amazing teachers who actually teach me and care about their students. As someone who wants to get an education degree this whole thing is sickening.
As a conservative elementary science teacher, I encourage my students to research subjects of interest on their own and discuss those findings. I try my best to keep my personal life and values out of the classroom.
There is no reason to teach elementary school kids about any "alternative" lifestyles. There is plenty of time to learn that outside of school and after elementary school. The teachers who think this is important for elementary school kids to learn are pushing their own political agenda.
In high school, I had a teacher who used to do stuff like this all the time, but he would split the classroom in three instead of two. You had yes no and unsure and at any point during the conversation you were allowed to get up and move. The whole exercise was about how people’s opinions can change with new input and how nuances could really change your position on something
I've worked in schools for years, and trust me, teachers DEFINITELY bring their baggage with them to school. And they definitely push agendas on the classroom. Obviously not all teachers do, but probably 90% of them do. And as we get more and more younger teachers, the greater that percentage gets.
And how do we fix this problem? Cutting down their pay, not educating our children on morality and how to treat a teacher, and leaving it up to the public school to address this problem.
You sure you don’t want a teacher teaching your kid who doesn’t even know how to manage their money properly enough to afford gas for their car? 😂 Her “shoes are ripped”. Take the state that pays teachers the least and it still equals out to about 35/hour (that’s the poorest, too, as most averages out to $45/hour). The same curriculums are used year after year so they’re not developing new ones every single summer. I don’t think the host (dk her name) has looked into any of this. She’s just bought the narrative.
@@theprincipal2994 how? Teachers in Mississippi already making as low as 33K. Y’all already pay teachers like crap and wonder why we have these TRANSGENDAS in the classroom grooming. Who is going to stick with a low paying job to be paid low? Y’all tell teachers to quit. They did. Now we have groomers.
@@enteryourname2289 $45.00 an hour my ass. I worked as a substitute and the English teacher was only paid $21.00, and she was a highschool teacher. So don't give me shit like they get paid fucking $50.00 an hour 💀
I was homeschooled for a couple years. I saw more museums, reenactments, plays, zoos, aquariums and natural wonders in 3 years than in the 9 years of public school combined. My mom was worried that I wouldn't get the science lab & tech experience that school could provide. When I went back the testing put me in advanced classes but I didn't learn to type till highschool.
The fact that homeschooling is emerging as not only one of the options, but as THE only option for kids to keep them from being indoctrinated is really terrifying. This is truly disturbing.
@@Thinkaboutit121 no, quite the opposite. When my kids parrot things I say or think, I tell them "Just because I think XYZ, doesn't mean you should think the same". I tell them to think for themselves and make their own decisions on things. School should be the teaching of history, reading, writing, and arithmetic, just the facts with no biases of any sort. A teacher's opinion have no place in a student's mind.
@@Thinkaboutit121 because it's pretty difficult for 5 year olds to fight against constant indication 8 hours per day from September to May from an authority figure.
Ever since graduating since 2019 and as an adult and no longer a student I have learned that many of my teachers were either left leaning or moderates. But they never said who they were voting for, race theory, etc etc they just taught the curriculum and focused on having a decent relationship with all students in the class. I am very thankful for them and appreciate them so much
Former nanny here - I dealt with some very challenging kids, who would ask me difficult questions. I always gave simple answers and anything further I would say “how about I ask your mummy what she thinks when she comes home?”. Especially questions of a sexual nature, these were categorically out of the scope of addressing because the kids were exclusively under the age of 13. If I put any ideas into the kids head, that would be in breach of my contract - high net worth parents do not mess about when it comes to protecting their kids from these things. I never saw this as a bad thing, because my role as a temporary care giver was not to indoctrinate, but facilitate. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would wish to talk about sexual topics with a minor - other than the birds and the bees chat we all got growing up. Even still, sex-ed is NOT the same as sex-orientation. Edit: I forgot to add, I would always debrief the parents on anything of concern, and they were always extremely grateful that I respected their authority.
My history teacher NEVER shares her political views and doges any questions about her views with like "I can't tell you that. Thats my personal business." (which is a good thing)
“Parents treat their child like they’re special”, coming from a teacher who treats EVERY student in their class like they’re special, and probably has to stop the class because ONE student feels hurt, forcing all the others to apologize to that one. Totally not speaking from experience or anything…
That was my issue with his statement as well. He did pick which kids are treated as special and which ones are a nusiance. Like certain ones are horrible for that attitude, but others DESERVE it. Odd.
No, he's right. Ive seen parents growing up who felt their kids were special in the sense better than others and pester the teachers for dumb reasons not relating to the current culture war going on. They want special treatment for their children and butter teachers up and take up more time than any other parent . They're annoying as fuck.
@@elizabeththompson435 No one said he was wrong, just pointing out the hypocrisy of (some) liberal teachers. You can't complain about parents treating their kids like they are special when you adhere to "protected groups," i.e., those we should treat as special.
My son is in 6th grade. Already a topic was sent home, in which was political. It was a small report on the Flint water crisis. The article never mentioned once that there are other water contamination, in the US. One such was Camp Lejeune. Instead the article focused on, it being ignored for 2 years because of the slight majority of blacks in the city. Camp Lejeune was ignored for decades in comparison. The article made it political. My son was asked questions in which, were directing to him understanding that Flint was a race based incident. Never once was it discussed that this article was an opinion piece. It was sent home as fact. Also never mentioned the more recent KY water crisis. Again, to be accurate it would alert that there have been other water crisis incidents that have also taken years, sometimes decades to solve. Luckily Flint was only dealing with it for a few years. But, if it was race based, as the article states, the evidence proves that it is white communities that are more impacted. But, this was left out of the article.
That health class was about reproduction. Not sex. It wasn't gender, sexual preference, sexual positions, and how to have sex. It was about our puberty, our body changes, and our reproduction function.
My conclusion: homeschool until school choice is the law of the land. That’s what I’m doing. For those of you who can’t homeschool, my heart goes out to you.
Both my husband and I work full time. We were able to implement home schooling, but it took some changes to our work schedules (ex, I now clock in earlier than I did, and the hubbie clocks in a few hours later than was his norm) and getting grandma involved. We all three teach different subjects. It has been well worth the effort.
I grew up in a school with teachers that conceal carried. I didn't know this until I was an adult. The teachers don't broadcast that they are carrying. I was in a room with a teacher every single school day for four years and had no idea that they carried a gun. I fully support this.
Love it. I graduated in the late 80s. We had guns at school all the time. Cruise the parking lot and you’d see several pickups with rifle racks storing rifles. They weren’t supposed to bring them into school during the day, but as soon as the dismissal bell rang some of those boys would bring their rifles into shop class to work on them with the shop teacher. We lived near hunting grounds :)
I think the big problem is not the good, competent teachers that handle their weapon properly. It is the inevitable idiots that leave their gun on the desk and accidentally let the kids get hold of it. I'd recommend allowing the teachers to have guns in schools, but have a law so that if any student gets hold of the gun, the teacher gets tried for manslaughter or something similar.
As someone from a non third world country, we never had any guns on the school ground unless the police was there. We also didn’t do any school shooter drills. They aren’t necessary here :)
@@namewithheld8115 If you get your gun stolen, you were not handling it properly. There are charges that can be filed to punish that. Manslaughter, however, to me, sounds like a gross extreme.
Luckily I went to school in the 50’s and 60’s and I NEVER heard a single teacher bring up politics. The ONLY time I knew a teacher was a Democrat was in my 7th grade art class. We knew our teacher, Mr. Walls, was gay but that never bothered us. He was a FANTASTIC art teacher. One day he was called away from class which had never happens before. He was gone about 20 min. When he came back he was crying almost uncontrollably. After a few minutes he managed to tell the class that President Kennedy had been assassinated and that Kennedy was the first President he had ever been proud to vote for. The whole class got very emotional of course. My parents were Republicans but they were just as upset. My Aunt came over and stayed with us for two weeks because she and my mom were so devastated by the whole thing.

i remember having a really awesome math teacher in high school. He was really funny and witty, and all the students loved to talk to him and he would share stories and tell jokes. just an all around nice guy. except when it came to grades, but that's another story. :)) and one time i remember someone brought up something religious or political, can't remember what exactly, but i clearly remember the teacher saying: 'stop! i don't talk about religion or politics with my students, not even the undergrads. because you guys are young, really young! and anything i say about those topics is gonna leave an impression on you! and i don;t wanna do that, because that is not my job.' i really respected him for that back then, and i learned so much from that guy. a ton of math, and a few things about being funny, smart, witty, respectable, but also fair, tough, and honest. never thought i'd see a day when a guy like that wouldn't even be considered for hiring in a liberal leaning school. hope he's still teaching... he was my age back in 2007.
“I only get paid 11 months, so for a whole month I don’t get paid at all” Translation: I get my annual salary paid out early so I don’t have to wait 12 months to get my full pay but get it a month faster than anyone else. This is a common payment method for public teachers, with most districts having an annual pay option to automatically withhold a portion of each months pay so that teachers who are bad with money can get paid each month. Her real complaint is that she’s bad with money and so isn’t capable of saving a portion of each months pay to cover the single month she won’t get a check. This would be the same complaint most people could make: I only get paid 26 days a year and have to go without pay for the other 339 days (hint: that’s bi-weekly paychecks). To the extent we want innumerate teachers who can’t responsibly handle money and plan ahead this is a legitimate complaint, but I at least take her complaint as a confession of incompetence.
I felt the same way when the Dad's comment about his teacher friend making $150k teaching Spanish for 9 months a year was questioned. He was making a legitimate comparison. I am a licensed professional counselor. I work 12 months a year in an important profession that requires a master's degree without a pension, paid holidays, no summers and holidays off, etc. and I certainly don't make $150k. He made a great point. Do teachers deserve more pay? Probably. This lady, though, seems to need some budgeting help. What does she spend her $ on instead of new shoes at Target for $20?
As a profession teachers are over paid….. teachers claiming they have to pay for their own supplies need to be more specific and have those items accounted for because that’s bull. Kids are required each year to buy a list full of items that they end up not even using majority of the time. And special items for class are provided for and bought by the school not the teachers. There is very little the teachers purchase that are needed or required for lessons. Generally speaking mind you, it’s widdled throughout state to state and even at local level. Most teachers (public) live above their means and don’t see why they shouldn’t be considered at the same level as a doctor or police officer…… there are too many “teachers” who aren’t teachers at all and don’t actually care. And even more who just want to be able to manipulate the next generation and shape them how they think the world should be. As the guy so generously pointed out teachers in public education are just government agents who have signed contracts. A lot of them could care less as long as they make a check.
You took the job though. "BUT I HAD TO BECOME A TEACHER! Its the lowest IQ of all professions! I had no choice! Thats why I yell and scream when asked to think critically about the subject matter i'm teaching to your kids!"
In response to the severely time challenged male teacher (i.e., “I don’t have time”) stating that kids come in and tell all kinds of things they are learning at home …… I have no doubt that most of the things kids are “telling” him are a direct result of him initiating inappropriate conversations in the first place. It’s also embarrassingly obvious that he repeatedly uses “I don’t have time” and “your kid is not that important to me” as a strategy. He’s trying to convey a general lack of interest in his students/children hoping that will make it easier to convince parents that he doesn’t have an agenda - - “there’s nothing to see here”. I don’t think he’s nearly as clever as he believes himself to be. Amala, you’re an extremely intelligent and intuitive person. Thank you so much for contributing such valuable unbiased content.
I just took educational psychology and I understand that first teacher. It's an inclusive learning environment. They will put groups together that are from all backgrounds. Doing this allows the students to make different friends. It's really great. I am very lucky that so far I get a full curriculum printed out and I talk to my daughter every day about what she does in school.
The thing is, most kids are going to grow up being straight. When you start asking kids their pronouns and delving in to sexual identity, you are bound to confuse more kids than help. But something tells me they already know this.
I did the math and it turns out that if you take just a fraction ($45 billion in one bill)!of the money we have sent to Ukraine and divide it among ALL the schools in the USA it comes out to about $300,000 per school. Pretty sure that would be enough to improve safety immensely.
It's actually quite revealing how resistant these teachers are to the notion of parents being more involved with what's going on in their children's schools.
Well, I think many parents think all parents are like them. They only want to make sure that they are not being taught something against their beliefs. But there are a lot of other types of parents too. Parents that helicopter parents who don't want their child disciplined, parents who want their child to have special treatment or to sit in special seats. Parents who would like to interfere in ever aspect of the lesson out of knee-jerk fear. I think that many of the positions that both teachers and parents have in this video is pretty naive.
It's a sad reflection of how poorly parents treat their children and how resistant parents are to internalizing or even reading about facts of how to handle and treat their kids. Very sad that the teachers have been groomed by the parents to feel this way.
another thing is that the curriculum (at least where I live) includes political conversations meant to "teach us so we can form our own opinions in life"
As a teacher my "political agenda" for my students is for them to learn the subject (math), learn to think critically, and grow up able to be successful adults. And if they can leave my class feeling loved that's a bonus. Each of them is a gift.
Prager U literally made a video in which this same commentator said that global warming isn't bad because air conditioning. This isn't critical thinking
@@907travelalot the Republican Party should have a independent investigation of all teachers and professors. Who are teaching anything other then what is supposed to be taught specially American history. Diversity class also they teach minority students untruthful history of slavery in America. It’s all bad and leftist corruption. The people that hired this people must be held responsible for teaching radical behavior. It’s way out of control the. Fucking groomers all of them!!!!
Retired teacher for over 40 years here. Teachers are leaving in droves because of blessed spoiled brat parents and their out of control kids. You know NOTHING!
As a parent of a 31yr old and twin 13yr old girls, I would like to know what happened to the parent's opportunity(and right) to audit classes with no notice to the teacher. I used to be able to go into my older child's classroom any time I chose, provided there was no testing or special engagement the teacher had prepared for that day. Seems that when teachers had parental oversight, none of this liberal agenda BS entered the classroom. 🤔
Exactly! When COVID put the kids at home on video classes, I heard some things that were horrid from a teacher. When I came into view and spoke up, she straight out told me I signed a document saying that I would have the child in a private setting. This was a 6th grade class. I told her, privacy will never extend to me with my children.
@@ellzeescammon2600I agree. Parents should be able to tap into their children’s classes and see what’s being said and done. However there comes along safety issues for the children that aren’t yours. It’s defo something that could be discussed and sorted out to suit everyone.
I hate it when these teachers call them kids or call them their kids. THEY ARE STUDENTS. They are not your children or kids in any way, nor should they be perceived in that matter. The most telling thing is how they don't view what they teach as political. Giving proof to the fact that they lie about what they teach. BEcause they won't tell you, till you call them out.
Coaches call their players "kids" quite often or in the old days college basketball players and even young soldiers were called "boys" and in the Eddie movie Whoppi called the players "girls" in one scene. None of these are an insult at all in the proper context.
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp being called boy or girl is not the same as being called "My children, or my kids" The context is completely different than "Alright kids gather around." The possessive connation of MY children is disgusting.
@Loved By You Thats exactly the point! No one's opinions matter. You treat every student the same, you don't form relationships and try to be their friend, you don't ask them their pro nouns, you teach them whatever subject your teaching and on every other topic you stfu.
@@theantileft3835 at the same time, as rare overall as school shootings are, you want teachers to have enough of a connection to their students that they will protect them in the event of one and risk themselves first. Let’s not pretend that a connection isn’t important. No, the teacher isn’t their friend. But they are legally responsible for those kids while they’re in school. A connection to help enforce that matters.
It is possible to have bias/values and not show them in the professional setting. I worked for years in the social work field, from child services, therapeutic services, and last in academia. When I retired, my coworkers gave me a retirement party and invited people from my jobs way back. The most common discussion people wanted to have with me was about my politics. I deliberately left politics at home. It can and should be done.
Great idea. Most schools already have cameras in every hallway and some classrooms. I'll donate to it, fuck it. A camera in every class recorded so parents can review what's going on. I don't see why teachers wouldn't also want this. It could help protect them from lying kids.
I'm not arguing that this is the best reason why not to, but there are a lot of creeps out there. It might make it a bit too easy for creeps to be spying on your children. That's whether they are getting unauthorized access to the live feed or have kids in the system themselves. I'm also just guessing that social development might look a bit different if kids feel like they are always being watched by their parents. It might not necessarily be different in a bad way, but just some food for thought.
What bothers me is that these teachers don’t respect parental prerogative. It’s not the teacher’s job to impose their customs and values onto other people’s kids. When I was a student in the 80s and 90s, sexual orientation and political leanings were not touched with a ten foot pole by my teachers.
@@niyahamariyana7878 or he, like most pathological liars, can't keep track of the lies they have told in the past so he comes out with new lies ever time!
I agree with most of what you say. However, as a high school teacher I can tell you that some of us educators take a hard stance on deliberately keeping our personal opinions out of the classroom. I literally tell parents that no student should ever know my politics. And if their children find out my personal politics I encourage them to call me out on it. These teachers do not represent all of us and it's important to recognize that.
I'm just curious. Out of everybody you work with, what is your guess as to what percentage of them agree with you and what percentage thinks that not being able to "express them selves" is oppression? No wrong answer, as I'm only asking about your personal experience.
I remember my 7th grade history teacher had a reputation for being really funny and "awesome." Everyone was excited to get assigned to his class, although his tests were difficult and he expected you to know the material. He would talk to us about aspects of government, but said he wouldn't reveal his political party (which makes sense...). Later on he showed us what a ballot looked like and it had his political party affiliation on it. I guess it slipped his mind. Honestly I didn't really need to see a ballot in 7th grade anyway, and it wasn't related to the material. Even if it was a small thing, that sidebar of showing us the ballot and telling us about how to vote was not needed. Then again, my 7th grade drama teacher also got in on the political fun, and told our class she was voting for Romney because her son was in the military and she wanted them to be well funded to keep him safe. But if that's how my teachers acted 10 years ago, I can only imagine how the pressure to talk about politics has exponentially ballooned. I don't think it should be entirely taboo for teachers to discuss their political leanings, but making it part of a lesson or curriculum material--especially in the subtly biased ways these teachers do re: sex ed and pronouns--is wrong.
@@NotAffiliated that's a great question. I would say less than 5% of my colleagues believe that it's essential to express their beliefs and will not hide their opinions. With that being said, most of the liberal teachers leave our school for more liberal institutions. So, I'm not sure if that helps my argument. lol
Excellent reaction video, Amala. Truly. Watching this, though, I am happy that I homeschooled. I have a son, and his father taught him about sex. We both taught him about love and having a loving relationship, what the pitfalls are, etc. All questions were welcome. Nothing was actually off the table to talk about. His father and I promised that we would never lie to him (Santa wasn't real. Santa was a game.) He was well-rounded socially, too. He's a critical thinker. Has been involved politically. He paid for his own college degree and his juris doctor and is currently a public defender and my best friend, which blesses me immensely. (my husband, his father, passed away 11 years ago)
My parents did the same for me and my siblings, right down to knowing Santa was just a fun game (inspired by the real historical figure of St Nicholas, of course, who I always liked better than Santa! 😄) Sorry to hear your husband passed away. All the best to you and your son. 🙂
@cmm5542 iMO, that's the way to build trust. Right! Santa is based on a real person, and we played the game because other children may not have understood. My husband said his own innocence burst when he learned about Santa, and he helped his parents wrap his siblings' gifts. What else did they lie about. A little trust was lost that day. No tooth fairy or Easter bunny, though we gave him $1 per tooth. He was allowed to spend his money on anything he wanted. He ended up being a great saver. Lol.
The moment that teacher said ‘there’s this thing called data…” Inwouldnhave stopped him right there with “If you’re going to condescend to me, and not extend to me the same respect you presume I would extend to you, I don’t want to hear a thing you want to say” END.
I realize more and more how blessed I was to go to the schools I went to. We were taught about worldviews. Every person has them and they aren't necessarily going to be the same as yours. This is ok. This is good for healthy conversation. We even had to do reports on them and present them to the class (each group had a specific worldview). This allowed us to learn quite a bit without being brainwashed that one was good/bad or better/worse. We were allowed to make our own decisions and our parents knew ahead of time that we were going to be learning about this so that they could have any necessary conversations ahead of time.
I was blessed that my parents also pushed that way of thinking on me. People are gonna have doffrent views than you. People aren't going to like you for who you are. And that's ok. People are their own individual.
I went to a Catholic school in the rural Midwest, and we were taught this same thing. Moreover, because it's a private school, we had comparative religions as a mandatory class.
Fun fact: there was less teen pregnancy before they started teaching sex ed in schools. It was always a grooming technique from the beginning to get kids comfortable with ideas their parents might not be comfortable with them learning about. Classic marxist strategy. James Lindsay does a great series on “groomer schools” on his podcast, looking into the history of this.
I think I’m gonna look into that But also do you consider sex Ed to be safe sex only ….. or does that also include the 3rd/4th grade video that teaches what is normal in puberty ….. cause there are a lot. Probably hundreds of thousands or parents that wouldn’t tell there child a single thing about menstruation or that hair here is normal etc etc etc.
@@sofiabravo1994 what if the parents think these subjects are too taboo and uncomfortable and never discuss them with their children? Is the child supposed to find about it on the internet?
Criminals don’t follow any law you try to impose. If they want a gun, they will find a gun. It’s the legal gun owners that will not be able to defend themselves from these criminals.
I don't think the arming the teachers legislation was saying that every single teacher MUST be armed. It was more to make schools not a gun-free zone. So any teachers who would already own a gun, already have the license to carry it and the knowledge of how to use it. The only difference would be they would have the option to bring a consealed firearm with them to school, in case of an emergency. Having schools be a gun-free zone paradoxically sometimes increases the odds of someone else bringing a weapon in. For example, in Britain there are a high number of "hot burglaries" meaning someone breaks into a home while the owner is still inside. Whereas in America, you never know which house is owned by licensed firearm owner, so its rare for hot burglaries to take place. Its much more common for the their to wait for the residents to leave. Same sort of principal can apply to schools. If a kid who would otherwise go far enough off the deep end to shoot up a school, knows there is a chance that one of his teachers could be armed. Especially if they don't know which teacher it would be, that lowers that persons motivation to try that particular method of vengeance or lashing out.
Teachers should get psych evaluations considering what’s been said here. People being left to watch over and care for these kids while they’re in school should be in a healthy headspace. Thanks guys I’m pulling my kids out of school!
The number of someone wana teach are soo low that you will be left with no one. In this year universitys in my contry have problem 3 persons per university choose prep for schooling.
Well, there’s several opportunities for many people to observe you. They report to your teacher. In a class called EDU 200 you have to observe/teach for 40 hours. This is only one class to receive your AA. I’m unsure about the bachelors lol I’m almost done with my AA. :)
I went to public school in Texas & teachers all allowed to carry if they have extensive background checks, it always made me feel safe. There is a sign in front of the school that says there are firearms inside, and I think that could scare away potential shooters because they know they will die if they try.
I think the question these teachers need to ask themselves is (instead of denying the experiences some of these parents and their kids have had and dancing around the issue-) "Why is it that NSFW art and websites are age restricted on the internet, but it's perfectly safe and okay for us to show the stuff those NSFW things depict to kids in a school?" Children are not "sexual beings" like some perverse people and ideologies think. They belong nowhere near any of that until they are old enough (18+ imo) to be responsible and consent.
And this is why we need cameras in the classroom, so parents can watch and listen to what's being asked of our kids and what's taught in the classroom.
That will require a substantial pay increase for teachers and education. Teachers are not paid enough and spend their own salary in supplies in my state.
The ones who are vehemently against it have something to hide. Put a camera on me any time I around any child. As a matter of fact, I prefer it. I have nothing to hide. I wouldn’t say or do anything to a child that I wouldn’t do in front of their parents or any other adult.
I'm generally in favor of cameras in the classroom on the surface level. But when I think about the privacy of my own child, it gives me pause. Those cameras would show every child to every parent and potentially anyone else those parents wanted to show them to. This would also be a legal violation for kids in protective services. There are some definite benefits to cameras in the classroom (inappropriate curriculum, inappropriate behavior by teachers or students, etc), but there's also some definite negatives to them. I'm not sure children growing up under camera surveillance 8 hours a day is a good way to raise them. Learning trust, integrity, and grit are important. I wouldn't want my kid thinking a police state is healthy.
@@courtneycherry5582depends on the state honestly. You might catch a frame of another minor and without the parents permission that can get very dicey. I’m all for it but it’s hard to defend legally
I believe that it has been recorded that unplanned pregnancies happen more now that we have sex Ed then before and that the idea that we needed sex Ed was predicated on a lie that teens were secretly having sex. I forgot the title of the book so someone else may know but I find that interesting.
Thomas Sowell? He basically said sex ed is completely useless at preventing sex, pushes left wing views on normalizing "liberalizing" sex attitudes, and is only effective at normalizing tolerance on gay lifestyles. Ergo, it can go and it wouldn't be missed.
I saw a video the other day that went into the actual statistics around promiscuity increasing as sex Ed increased. I’m not going to quote numbers because I don’t remember who posted the vid or actual numbers. There was an increase in unplanned teenage pregnancies so they introduced a safe sex Ed system which led to high promiscuity in teenaged which increased the number of unplanned pregnancies. It’s one thing to teach kids the old “where do babies come from” system but another to promote safe sex at schools by handing out condoms and encouraging sexuality because it’s safe.
Amala - Those of us who would allow school staff to conceal carry are NOT wanting to force every teacher to have a gun. There are plenty of people in America - teachers included - who know how to handle firearms and they should be allowed, if they so choose, to conceal carry. It would be better than spending even more money we don't have in hiring retired military or police officers and when one considers how cowardly the cops behave during a school shooting, that makes hiring them a moot point.
My grandma was a gradeschool teacher for almost 50 years. She used to love it!! The reason she took early retirement was because of the parents. The “woke” parents would blame the teacher for everything instead of helping the teacher when their child misbehaved. It’s an epidemic of woke parents not disciplining their kids and thinking their kids are more special than others and should be treated that way.
So then, what's your problem with the video? If you would categorize these parents as "woke" because they feel their child is the sun, moon and stars. Then hard agree. They are pathetic thinking class pedagogy revolves all around how they feel that their child feels.
@@missright9159 no, these are not "woke" parents, that would be the case if they were "liberal" parents. OP is completely right, children with woke parents are raised without any morals of responsibility and respect, basically using bulldozer parenting. These parents would first yell at the teacher than having their child take any accountability for their part of the problem. These are the parents that pushed for participation trophies and no deadlines for assignments. Their intention was to shield their precious angel from any stressful situation, which sounds nice in the short term, but in the long term it has many negative consequences, these children grow up without learning how to handle life's inevitable stressful situations and thus creates more anxiety and depression in these kids/adolescences. They lack natural ambition to keep trying and striving for a better outcome, along with a whole bunch of other necessary life skills. There was a stat a handful of years back that these kids were dropping out of college/university because they could not handle deadlines. These parents are calling their child's employers to argue their child's issues such as shift scheduling, I've heard about this first hand. These kids grow up being addicted to being the victim and trying to find ways to opt out of responsibility for their own problems. Imho opinion this is why they are conflating their individualism, personality and feelings with it correlating to a new gender identity. They have grown accustomed to getting special treatment and having everyone else around them walk on eggshells. They don't know how to own up to and problem-solve their own mental anguish issues.
That's interesting. And I fully agree as well. But in my situation it's actually reversed. I live in Toronto like downtown core. And there's a progressive "non traditional" elementary school here in our radius (we are moving in a couple of years BTW currently pregnant with baby girl). And I raise my son with discipline and boundaries while also modeling good behavior with mom & dad. He's a great boy who knows how to be kind and play but still knows not to hit and whine and cry over everything. He's 4 BTW. So this school since he started kindergarten in Sept. Has been a nightmare. They believe in not setting boundaries, very casual on routines, and no structure and no time outs. Their discipline is called a "calming corner" 🙄. So my son has been getting hit and punched in the face and scratched by 3 little boys who never get fucking disciplined! I brought up concerns to the teachers (fair enough it's the curriculum so i feel they do what they can). And they dismissed it. Until I saw one of those little Boys after school punch my son in the face right infront of me!!! I was raging!! I brought it up and they finally took me serious. I had to really set my concerns in the parent teacher interview. And said I'd rather you pay more attention to those kids and make sure everyone is safe. To me it's the lack of structure and routine and discipline. And the fucking wokeness! It setting our kids up for failure!! Teach them their abcs and 123s and structure routine and discipline. And the kids who need more attention take them out of the classroom and discipline them. And fucking tell the parents and stop being scared!
As an RN, I have taken care of children who were 14, with 2 kids and one on the way. The one that sticks in my head the most, did not know that sex got her pregnant. Her mother, upon hearing this said "Well, I figured when she got pregnant the first time, she knew why!". Sex education is essential in schools. However, the conversations about gender, can wait until high school and I for one, would be more comfortable with it being a voluntary course for kids to take. That said with two bi-sexual children.
When you create a space that is labeled as a no weapons place then you are opening that place up to be an easy target for someone with malintent. You have to have legislation that the teacher would have to be properly trained and you would NEVER publish who the teachers are that are armed so the kids would not know which teachers were armed with a weapon. There are also a lot of military veterans that would be willing to work for the school districts as safety officers because there are not enough police officers to patrol and protect every school building.
I remember when I got in trouble in elementary school for calling Christmas break not holiday break. I didn't budge. To this day I still call it Christmas break.
How any videos have liberal teachers made of themselves showing off how queer they made the classroom, encourage students to choose their pronounces other than their actual gender, breed hatred towards white students, selflothing of whites students & tell students to not make fun of minor attractive people. That last on's for real, see for your self: th-cam.com/video/kTpskl5SFk8/w-d-xo.html
To address teacher salaries. My area, the average teacher gets paid almost as much as the average two income household. Since California was brought up, the average elementary school teacher get paid about 12k more than the average California wage. 90k. Principles almost 150k. Superintendents almost 200k.
Amala, I've just discovered your channel recently, and you've hooked me. Not only do you keep eye contact with the camera, expressing your opinions, but also don't crop clips from your channel, so far, from my perspective. Props to you for staying real and providing informative videos.
In school.. why do they need pronoun preferences stated?!? If a kid had a pronoun preference im sure they would bring it up… not to mention, teachers usually use the childrens’ names and “you”
People seem to forget when we use pronouns, its usually when the person in question isn't present, so why do they care so much in how you talk about others in your privacy? If talking is how we communicate our thoughts then wouldn't that mean they want to control how others think? Well.. Why would anyone have such a desire to control how people think in a certain way when their all alone for?
Not all classrooms setting allow any type of pronoun talk. My one friend is a cancer survivor and she gets called boy or man so many times due to short hair when she can’t grow it out. There are teachers who flat out won’t use her pronouns so she had to dealt with being misgendered.
I'm a teacher. Why should I have to give up my ability to protect myself? I'm also a football coach. And a large man. I'm the one expected to break up the fights and deal with violence in the school. Wouldn't cross my mind to use the gun in one of those situations, only if I hear gunshots will it enter into my mind to even be prepared to draw. I know this for a fact due to intense situation I've encountered in my life. None at a school to the extent where I thought about getting a weapon.
@@ModernLady In America, everyone without a criminal record can take a course, and apply for a concealed weapons permit. This allows you to carry a pistol in public so long as no one knows you have it. However, there are arbitrary areas where you cannot carry. Oddly enough schools are one of the most vulnerable ‘gun free zones’ in our country. Somehow we protect banks much more extensively than our children. I think that’s the real joke
@@brandoneggleston25 while here we don’t give weapons to just anyone. So there is very little gun violence. I would feel less safe with teachers walking around with guns. How do you protect children if a teacher snaps? Let children carry? Or is it always kids that are shooting in schools and if, then why? Why is everybody shooting each other?
@@ModernLady We don’t let just anyone buy a gun either. There are hundreds of thousands of laws surrounding gun ownership. If a teacher ‘snaps’, I have no doubt that our court system will put them in jail for the rest of their life. I don’t think you understand the legal ramifications of a justified shooting. If you shoot a robber trying to break into your house.. you’re likely going to face millions of dollars in legal fees. Also, no one is advocating for kids carrying guns. That’s crazy! I’m sure your country’s violent crime statistics are comparable per capita. Isolating gun violence is such a weird thing since most gun deaths are suicides
Hearing a teacher say “I don’t care about your kid” was so telling
He did not step forward when asked the 1st question about politicising the classroom but all he did was defend "his woke political ideology" he hates the parents who dont want his radical agenda pushed on their kids and he hates the kids individually. He defended it by yelling DATA and LAW. When we all know data is so easily manipulated and the law IS NOT on the side of "THE FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY NOT ON THE SIDE OF CHILDREN." The law in america under total neoliberal control is locking up parents who dont want their children indoctrinated into depravity, protesters and anyone who they now deem as terrorists. While giving violent career criminals freedom to continue to assault and murder innocent citizens with utter impunity. Liberal prosecutors are NOT even giving them a slap on the wrist. AND LIBERAL JUDGES ARE LETTING PREDITORS WITH CHILD PORN ON COMPUTERS GO FREETO CONTINUE TO ALLOW CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS TO CONTINUE ABUSING CHILDREN AND CHILD GROOMERS TO CONTINUE GROOMING.
I don't get how some teachers think like that my main teacher model is to treat the kids as if they are your kids
Yeah that come off a bit bad sounding, although to his defense. It kind of sounded like he was saying he has a whole entire school of kids that he needs to tend to and care about, an the position he holds means that he needs to kind of care about the teachers as well.. So I can understand him saying that he doesn't have the time to focus on the issues of one specific child..
At the same time, he later explained how he has students who come to him for father advice and support. An that he has helped students with paying their bills, or placing them in a hotel etc.. So idk how "telling" that really necessarily was, in regards to how much he cares about people's kids individually. I mean he obviously cares as a whole and in the individual cases he mentioned, but does he care about what these students are being taught ? Or about what individual teachers are teaching in their classroom ? That's what I would maybe wonder about or question a little..
@@JB-pb9xv I get that I am 16 and it can be chaotic as hell some of the children are demon spawns
Yeah, he doesn't care about your kid's innocence. I was annoyed about him. He dismissed what parents are concerned about because he supposedly doesn't have time. It takes no time to leave out pronoun training.
The goal shouldn’t be to make everyone comfortable. The goal should be to teach everyone how to HANDLE being uncomfortable.
Why not try both
@@MaticTheProto when you focus on making sure everyone is comfortable, it trains kids to expect the real world to be like that. But it's not, and it never has been. Kids need to be taught how to control their emotions, not how to adjust the world to their emotions.
@@flyinginthewind111 so you‘re saying making white straight christian Kids comfortable and discriminating against everyone else is good?
Should be both.
@@MaticTheProto WHEN. DID. THEY. SAY. THAT.
I had a 6th grade social studies teacher who taught us Greek mythology, which got the topic of religion brought up. Everybody in the class was declaring what they believed and someone asked the teacher what he believed. You know his answer? “I worship squirrels and give them nuts as offerings”. We all laughed and got back to learning about Greek mythology. He deflected the question perfectly and I still don’t know what he believes in to this day. Best teacher I ever had.
I came from a small town. If I didn’t know what church my teacher went to my parents did. Guess what. Never had an issue of a teacher pushing religion in a school. Even when I lost my faith and became an atheist and it came out. A teacher who didn’t like me made the statement so what. He said something to the effect of I believe in one more god than he does. We both agree on the Greeks and the Viking gods being false. And that was the end of it. Kids still gave me shit but. I didn’t feel like teachers gave a fuck.
That is the best response. Get asked your orientation? Im attracted to homework. Get asked whether you are left or right? Im on the political north. Responding with nonsense joke answers to politically charged questions from kids is one of the best ways to avoid a debate. Of course, if you want it to be turned into a big deal, just say the most extreme left or right thing, doesn't really matter, and viola, now your math class becomes mixed martial arts! Anyway, I love that way more than just ignoring or rejecting the question.
A kid in my social studies asked my teacher how they could teach about religions and she said that I can teach about religion but not force it on us
On the topic of teachers being armed, I disagree with Amala. I believe the government is too incompetent to differentiate between passive mental illnesses and aggressive mental illnesses. When Amala said that some people who are mentally unwell shouldn't have guns kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I believe that Walk The Talk America has the right idea. Instead of having unwell people choose between their right to keep and bear arms and treating their mental illness, have them protect their rights and get treated.
This is so wholesome and he sounds like he was a great teacher
I taught elementary school for over 25 years. During that time many students asked me to confirm their statements about the existence of God. I refused each time. I am an atheist but never identified myself as such. When I was asked my opinion about God I responded that they should have that discussion with their parents.
wow thank you. much respect for that
As a Christian, I can respect that. You seem more polite about it than a lot of Atheists I’ve met, seeing as you try to avoid religion and do not mock it.
Thanks
Excellent response.
Kudos! 👏🏻
As a Christian, I respect that stand. It is respectful to a subject that is very personal to individual families and culture to not assume that you have authority over such subjects.
A friend's daughter got suspended for two weeks because she refused to sit in on a lesson about sexual orientation, identity, and pronouns. She wasn't comfortable with it. At 10 years old. She did what she was taught and tried to walk away. She was surrounded and bullied by teachers for over an hour. She didn't budge. She stood her ground. Her dad came and got her; put everyone in their place and rewarded her with a vacation at my house (my st pyrenees is her Barkin Bestie). We're looking at homeschooling.
What did he exactly say to teach them a lesson? Please like my comment so I get a notification
Ace, mad respect to that brave kid.
My teacher today when we were reading the house on mango street tried to convince us that Marin from that book was oppressed and forced to marry a rich man which she didn’t and then made it about sexuality and sexism instead of poverty btw I’m mixed my parents are lesbian and my dad has a p*ssy
Another parents who think that they know better what to teach kids. It's important to talk about sex with pre pubescent, so 13 year old girls won't appear pregnant because they don't know how babies are made!
@@vervideosgiros1156for real, I bet there is more context to the commenters story, I doubt it happened exactly as she described
I remember this boy in my class was making fun of periods. He ended up saying some thing along the lines of “wow, I can’t do anything I’ve got my period.” And my science teacher made me so proud. She looked him dead in the eye and said “I don’t care what you do with your life, your body, and your money. But you will NEVER know how it feels to go through a period.” And I can’t explain the amount of respect that I had for her in that moment.
now imagine everything is the same about that kid except he identifies as trans. The teacher would be fired
@@delta-9969 the teacher would be fired, but it would still be a true statement. I don’t care if anyone is trans or not. There is no way that a man can have a period, and to joke about it wether he was trans or not is wrong
And everyone started clapping. Lol
Or imagine the boy was just joking
@@billpardew2375 he was, but it doesn’t make it any better that there are still people in the world who are biologically men that believe that they can experience the same pain a woman does when her uterus sheds
I had a civics teacher in highschool who was spectacular. His focus was to remove himself and his feelings from the education. Infact, people constantly tried to guess his political leanings, but he was very dismissive when asked.
On his last day of teaching, before he retired, after he dismissed his last class he finally disclosed his political leanings, and everyone's guesses were wrong! WHY?? Because he was an educator, not an influencer.
I had the same experience. I had a World Civilization professor in college, and that man was perhaps the smartest person I have ever met. He spoke on a multitude of different topics, well versed in all of them, and never sounded like he favored one side over the other. He was a true Independent if I ever met one, at a time where nearly every professor I had were die hard liberals and wasted valuable teaching time instead to cover; why Donald Trump is a fascist dictator, our implicit bias, how men are the scorn of the earth, heteronormativity and other subjects that had nothing to do with what we enrolled for. My World Civ professor was a refreshment from all of this, and he educated those that were willing to learn not just about history but politics and science. Most of the students were indoctrinated to the point where they either didn't listen or refused what he had to say. He was a stern, no-nonsense, but a teddybear of a guy that if you got to know him he would pick your brain apart, and you'd be glad he did because of how much information he'd feed you that was erased from our memory banks.
I've been shocked as to how indoctrinated college has become, and even more shocked how this type of behavior is exacerbated in grade school which I'm seeing my sister go through. Luckily I'm there everyday to oversee what is going on, and use the same discipline that my professor taught me. I feel bad for the younger generation for what's going on in this education system, and having teachers like the guy in this video wearing a suit.
I was a kid, can't think of anyone who cared about their political beliefs to any degree. But then again, I wasn't raised yesterday. Just funny how it went from 0 people caring, to some, to all
my favorite professor in college was just like this. it was in political science and he was no bullshit. i loved that man and learned so much.
Those are the kinds of teachers we need and must have now!!!!
As a high school English teacher I have to say that do not ask for pronouns. I do ask if they have a name they prefer to use. If so - they can either tell me or they can email me. I do this because I went by a nickname. No one even knew my legal name! So that is my purpose. I do not ask for pronouns. I have had students message me that they prefer a certain pronoun. My response is always, “I’ll do my best; however, I can’t promise to remember to use it but I’ll try.” I usually do forget. They usually don’t make a big deal of it either.
We do not discuss sex or sexual preference unless it is in the text (but it rarely is - except Shakespeare). I try to gloss over the heavy stuff.
I shut down conversations that are controversial UNLESS it’s a debate class - then I keep it civil.
In high school, we had a history, politics and social studies teacher, and none of us knew his political opinions. I doubt that exists anymore
Honestly, I went to a conservative christian school and most of my teachers were open about being republican. I went to school when Obama was elected. They took us to a Republican rally. Personally, I don't see this as a liberal issue. It's a people issue
Same here
It does. The people they chose for this video was purely because they wanted reactions. Not because this is how teachers just are.
In economics he manages to teach political subjects in a way where you can’t tell where he stands on the issue.
He’s a genius, and one of the few teachers who doesn’t actually make it their job to teach an agenda to their students.
Had a teacher just like this my freshman year of Highschool. He emphasized that he wasn’t there to teach us what to think,but instead how to think.
I'm 54. Throughout my entire school time, I never even knew if my teachers were married, let alone gay or not. School is never about personal beliefs. Teachers who get upset because they can't tell their class about their gay weekend activities are evil.
If you prefer such a dry, clinical environment then fair enough. Obviously no one should be forced to learn too much about their teacher's personal lives. You're there to be educated, not to make friends with your teachers. HOWEVER, I must say, as a current high school senior, I personally find it fun getting to know my teachers and building casual (yet still professional) relationships with them. I think it makes my classes much more enjoyable. Obviously ,the personal information I'm talking about comes from natural conversation, not the teachers giving formal lectures about their lives.
@@gigachad3925 I'm talking about K - 3
I don't know about "evil" but otherwise you are 100% right.
I’m 48 and am thankful that I’m not growing up and going to school now. I never knew my teachers political views. In algebra class we learned algebra. In chemistry, we learned chemistry. And in band, we played music, etc. The people that I knew anything personally about were my peers and friends. If a teacher is teaching students about their personal ideas they are not teaching the subject they’re hired to teach.
It was so “taboo” to know my teachers first name, not taboo but like it was like ohhh I know a secret
So I was a junior in high school when Donald Trump won the 2016 election and I volunteered for his campaign so understandably when he won I was happy. I wore a sticker the day after the election and it wasn’t a problem until like the third to last period of the day. My med bio teacher had a speech at the beginning at the class saying what happened last night is causing traumatizing effects for so many in the and for the rest of the school year no one is to say Donald Trump’s name because it’s traumatic. She saw my sticker and told me to take it off because it was hate speech and when I didn’t take the sticker off she threatened to send me to the dean’s office. She literally acted like it was the most traumatizing thing ever but literally at the time I was watching my mom my only parent slowly die in the ICU. She also called me privileged like girl you know nothing about my life and the actual trauma I’ve been through. Like a Donald Trump sticker is simply just a sticker if you get triggered by a name on a sticker you clearly are just used to every one having the same ideology as you and can’t handle different opinions.
That teacher should be removed. How to you teach children to cope if you cannot.
That was abusive.
You were exercising your right as a citizen. I imagine people in North Korea thinks like your teacher.
Damn , I hate that happened to you. She should not be teaching children whatsoever.
@@djusticebeauty4542 what makes it even worse is my mom died during Christmas break of that school year and the teacher was so inconsiderate when I came back to school after a month off because my mom died (my mom was my only parent). Like the teacher had something against me just because I was a Trump supporter!! Like I was 16 I couldn’t even vote but I still volunteered for his campaign because I wanted to make a difference.
My friend went to a college in Virginia. During the election cycle, one of her professors wrote a definition for Donald Trump as a supremacist, and had everyone write it out that way.
There is a huge misconception among teachers that parents have "entrusted" them with educating their kids, but we haven't! We don't trust you. We don't know you, we didn't interview you, and we didn't hire you. Some County official that we also didn't hire hired you. So do your job, stick to the basics, and keep your opinions of the world to yourselves, teachers.
Years ago the community hired the teacher with no middle man.
Right not everyone has the privilege of homeschooling, or private school, a religious school, etc. Most of us have no choice in the matter. We have to send our kids to school because we work and can't stay home or don't have the money so choose. I think you can ask to change which class they're in for elementary school since they're in one class with one teacher all day, but that's about it.
@@Samew0001 BEFORE you have children, ensure you have the resources to care for them. Do you clothe them? Do you feed them? Well, providing your children with a solid academic and moral education is just as important. You have failed as a parent if you don't do all of these things. Stop making excuses for keeping your children in a failed government "school." Many Catholic Schools are means based. There are other ways to educate your children. Forcing your children to serve time at a government institution is not one of them.
@@treelinehugger I agree. It's quite selfish for people to go around having children just cuz they want them or think should have them, while not being able to give that child everything it needs to thrive. If you can't give your children that, then don't have them. That's the selfless thing to do, no matter how much you'd like to have children.
In the world you want children are never taught basic civics, that is the world we are currently living in , and I would argue that people make bad citizens.
I am conservative and am an educator. It’s often amusing to hear students guess my political leanings (almost all of them have been wrong because I do not talk politics with them). When we do have sensitive topics I am careful to present all common positions equally. I usually create an environment where they hear the positions and can draw their own conclusions.
W teacher 👑
As teachers should do. Good job !
When I was in school, my teachers did not talk to us about sex at all. They had specialized sex ed teachers/doctors contracted to come and teach those subjects and then they left and that was it. And what that did was create boundaries between teachers and students that see each other every day and what's extra telling is that I remember my teachers thanking the sex ed educators for sparing them from something they considered uncomfortable.
Say it again for the kids in the back. Boundaries. That’s a big part of the problem. My kids aren’t my friends. My kids’ teachers aren’t their friends. The teachers are teachers. It’s utterly bizarre to me. Question (not for you, but for the crowd): where else in polite society is it ok for adults, without parental knowledge and consent, to tell children about sex, sexuality, and relationships? What adults should be talking to your children (or you as a child) about what anal or oral sex is? What adults should be talking about their romantic relationships? Why do so many teachers today think that casual conversation about all this is ok? I just don’t understand.
Our school nurse did the sex Ed and not the actual teachers so kinda the same!
i took sex ed in highschool last year for my senior year as it was a requirement to pass, other teachers never said a thing about sex ed. parents also have to sign off and give consent for kids to learn it. i’ve never heard of students being taught about sex by any other teachers.
Ya I remember back in the day when I was in elementary school , we had to get parent permission slip signed .
If you talk to kids about adult acts with children without the child’s parent permission,the person should go to jail . Specially teachers , and lose there license.
Yeah, but a pronoun discussion (which is what I guess you are referencing) isn't a sexual discussion. At the bare minimum it's basic English or just being considerate and giving these kids a bit of SEL before thet go postal on groups of people who are different than them. You all are such perverted weirdos.
And maybe you all should be taken from kids because you all project your sick child exploitation fantasies on others and protect your worst offenders for political power. It's clear which side has the perverts...
Moral of the story is that homeschooling is increasingly the best option for creating functional adults that love themselves the way they are
Only if one of the parents is more than capable of doing all of the homeschooling. I've seen some kids turn out great. I've seen others who "graduate" barely able to read, let alone know much.
@@Undomaranel _"I've seen others who "graduate" barely able to read, let alone know much."_ You describe public schools perfectly.
You got it. The only kids I meet that can read are the ones that have been home schooled. I can tell the ones who went to public school because they can’t read and they have no idea where countries area, they do not know anything about history or math. They know nothing about anything. They don’t even know about civil rights stuff-my daughter didn’t know who Emmett Till was until she recently listened to a movie review about that movie that came out last month about his mother. I would’ve thought that with all the “woke” stuff being taught these days they would’ve covered Emmett Till, but they can’t even get that right. I had to “school” her about Till and a couple of other civil rights icons that were overlooked by her next to useless public school education. Thank goodness my husband and I raised inquisitive, intellectual children who love to read and question the world around them. To them, education never ends.
@@Undomaranel There are co-ops and other structures in place. More resources than ever decrease the reliance on the parent, especially as the child(ren) gets older.
I pulled my sister out of the school she was going to, She's 14 and doesn't need to listen to the garbage that spewing out of their mouth. I'm only 21 but I'm her legal guardian. I found a teacher that knew what she was doing and had good references, she comes 4 times a week. I know it's a little expensive but It's my sis and I love that girl.

@@MoonshineH what are you talking about? It's video definitive proof of teachers pushing their agendas
I went to a private all boys high school (it’s very common in my area for middle class on up), my civics teacher was awesome. He was able to teach a politically charged subject without showing any bias or favoritism - he made both sides and all students sound like morons. He taught everyone to question their biases and leaders no matter the perspective or ideology.
Our school still has consent forms regarding sex-Ed. The issue I had was , my teenage son did want to participate but it went too far and leaned towards sexual pleasure . That was not explained on my consent form. The moment he said he felt uncomfortable, he was reprimanded so he placed his headphones on and ignored the rest of the class. This led to his teacher wanting disciplinary action from the principal. I explained to the principal the moment he said he was uncomfortable, he could have been escorted outside but expecting to him to remain is equal to forcing someone to work feeling sexually harassed. My son wasn’t disruptive, he didn’t argue back to his teacher-he ignored her . She wanted him to have an in-school suspension. That didn’t happen. I told her we will take the FAIL and he’s homeschooled now.
Oh wow. Sexuality in this country has become way too much of a thing.
Your son has a mind of his own, bless him!
The teacher trying to force your child remain in an uncomfortable discussion about sex borders on a violation of consent. That lady should be fired.
That’s unfortunate he has to miss out on friends and school memories because of one silly incident
@@breekwhal Maybe he wanted to be homeschooled, especially given the fact that kids were basically homeschooled for the past two years anyway. What's more, homeschooling doesn't equate to a cloistered life devoid of socialization. You can have friends and be homeschooled. You can even develop school-like setting with homeschooling co-ops (which are becoming more popular). So he isn't really missing out. Public school is a very recent development anyway- nothing wrong with fostering peer relationships around interests and community rather than manufacturing date.
I like how the teachers especially the one gentleman said we like to see parents be involved yet not even 2 minutes before that complained he was tired of dealing with parents and explaining the answers to their concerns
Not only that but at one point he says he doesn't care about the kids than in the same dialogue says that parents aren't parenting so it's left up to the teachers. Absolutely amazing the acrobatics going on in that mans head. He cares until he doesn't or until it benefits him 😒
😂 these liberal nut jobs
Because people out here crazy...and we've all seen it by now, it happens a lot, they have apoint to make and you better listen, but right after say something that totally negates what they just said. Like calling people racist but then say a "white person can't talk about race"
Yet they have time to ask hundreds of kids their pronounce! - not so busy..
Not all people are reasonable. You don’t have problems with patience with others? Businesses want customer feedback, but we also say that people are Karen’s and Ken’s. Everyone is not respectful or reasonable.
When that teacher said "we encourage parents to come to school and be involved" that's a mf lie. They have been doing everything in their power to keep us out for the past 3+ years. I used to go spend the day with my daughter at least once a year and observe and help if needed and at the school she went to from 1st-4th grade, yes they did let me come whenever I wanted even just to eat lunch whenever I wanted to. Then when she went into intermediate/middle school, they made it impossible for parents to even come into the office to speak to the principal who didn't respond to emails. The same principle who lied to the police about me to try to get me arrested for being inside the school and then was caught in the lie by the police, nothing happened to him for falsifying a report to the police and getting caught lying real time, the police just told him they couldn't arrest me because I didn't do anything wrong and that he didn't have the write to keep me out of the school my daughter attended. He was told to allow me to come spend another day observing since he unnecessarily interrupted our day including my daughter's ability to finish the school day because we were told to leave anyway. It was a disgusting abuse of power.
I generally agree with your sentiment and it does seem like the basic idea (that admin/teachers don't want parents at school) is applicable to many schools, but it is necessary to note that schools do not all operate under the same rules or culture. Even in the same district, two schools can have almost radically different cultures depending various factors, including admin.
tl;dr: your experience may not generalize.
If you can afford to and have the time, you should jerk her out of that school and homeschool her! If you feel unsure about your abilities, there are homeschool coops that will help that also have some group classes in some subjects, so your child can interact with other kids.
I went to school to ask my daughter's teacher an outline of the curriculum for that year so I can help. She looked at me suspiciously and asked 'why'. She looked very worried. I couldn't understand.
If you have mental health issues you shouldn’t be teaching
@@ladyjulbug would you really want just anyone roaming around in the schools around all the children without being properly vetted?
I don't understand why teachers can't just teach the subjects they are supposed to teach and leave everything else to the parents. Even if a student asked a question that could lead to a more personal topic such as gender, the teacher should simply say "That's a valid question and I think it's important that you ask your parents about that when you get home."
It is not all teachers... I don't give my opinion. When they ask me, I tell them I believe in minding my own business.
Sadly, like the "I was a teacher, now I'm a professor" guy, they think that most parents are idiots (though I think his words were "uneducated") and incapable of teaching their children anything...even personal views...correctly.
Teachers teach reading, writing, arithmetic. Everything else about personal and private issues is between the child and parent.
@chazzitz-wh4ly that's how it should be but it isn't how it is

The educational system grooming our children. It's sickening.
You're right. It's a shame they're not learning more about their history and books are being pulled from shelves. We've entered an era of 1930s all over again with politicians openly calling for eradication of a group of people.
When I was in high school, I sent my favorite librarian a friend request on Facebook. Side note, she's a lovely person and everyone loved her. I found out later when she came to mg grandfather's funeral that she had been best friends with my mom and aunt but neither of us knew and they've since reconnected. I was a senior and 18 at the time, so I figured it was okay to send the request but when I saw her at school, she apologized but said while I was still a student there, she wouldn't accept it because it was inappropriate. I understood. That was just ten years ago. Blows my mind how deep they're diving in the school system.
Today school administrators would have accepted your request and started offering advice on whether to use spit or lube. The saddest part is no one would hold them accountable either.
Predators want to be close to their prey. When they’re close to their prey they can groom them mentally and emotionally for their own beneficial narrative
Yeah I know teachers that play online videogames with their students. And as cool and harmless as that sounds, I do believe it should be kept a strictly professional relationship and not be allowed, at least until the students graduate. Playing the video game in class on a lazy day or as a reward with your teacher, with the rest of the class, is very different and that I would be fine with as long as the parents can sign off.
@@brookemcboredface4290 If I was a parent that was aware of it, I’d be visiting the school. Most districts still have social media policies that are signed as part of your employment contract. I’m a school district employee and our policy requires us to agree not to “friend” any student online (even if it’s a friend of your own child’s) We also are not allowed to identify ourselves as a district employee online.
When I was in the 4th and 5th grades, we also had sex education at school and had to bring home permission slips for our parents to sign before we could go. I grew up in a very conservative Christian household and my parents signed it but gave me no permission to attend those classes. And it was split between boys and girls, so when all the boys were attending their class I was sitting alone with all of the girls as an outcast. And when all the boys came back from their class they were teasing me with terms I didn't understand. I had a very awkward 3-minute conversation with my dad about sex, but honestly I learned mostly everything I know about sex from pornography, which is very sad to me as well.
I don't think they taught anything useful. The only thing I remember from those classes were kids jumping rope sing "A-I-D-S it's not for me it's not for me."
If the parents decline permission, the onus is on them to enable their kids to have a basic understanding of secmxual anatomy and physiology and psychology.
I declined my sons' participation (because I found factual inaccuracies in the learning material) and I opted to teach them.
I teach these subjects at tertiary level.
I feel that I am competent.
Some parents may, absolutel, NOT support this essential learning.
Please, just please, can we create a list of neutral anatomical / physiological information that those kids who DO have parents who decline participation can access, so that they are not "learning" from pornography.

@@ALPalmos Honestly it is very hard to make anything neutral in this day and age. Its like trying to give a neutral answer on a true/false test
So the one lady said she "won't teach anything that's heteronormative." To her, my question would be "why is the subject of gender coming up in your curriculum?" To me, gender is irrelevant to the vast majority of what kids should be taught in schools, and if teachers were focused on their subjects instead of their agendas, this would be a lot less of an issue.
I love the point Taylor made, “if they are arguing that they are teaching different lifestyles then will they teach about the Christian lifestyle?.” Of course not because there is only 1 agenda behind it and they show it off with the facade of “we’re just trying to include everyone blah blah mushy mushy” will they teach about the female genital mutilation they perform in Middle East countries? Etc Oh wait they’re doing that in America too 😂
And they are trying to make it that we CAN NOT impart those values on our own children in the home.

Ok dreadheaded dad is goals. He’s grounded, compassionate, calm, and so well spoken. This guy needs a guest appearance or his own da** show. I love that optically he represents leftist culture, and therefore bridges the gap between alternative culture and conservative culture. Conservatives aren’t just loud heteronormative white guys in suits…. I wish conservatives were more fairly represented. People even look at me and, depending on my outfit or the situation (like me being on duty in my military uniform versus wearing trendy clothes running around in Portland) and make a whole slew of assumptions that are always somewhat inaccurate but wholly based on my appearance and their beliefs. Meanwhile I don’t really belong to either group.. But being moderate or neutral simply isn’t an option in this polarized environment; you MUST be one or the other. You must be an enemy or an ally. And that applies to so many things in modern day. You’re a feminist ally or a misogynist, you’re conservative or liberal, you’re black or white, you have zero criticism for anyone in the LGBTQ community or you’re homophobic, etc.,etc.. we need to reintroduce middle ground and nuance or we will be ruined by irrational bipartisan civil conflict.
Conservatives want less Government, less taxes, less State interference with our schools and kids, and some base it off Constitutional values and beliefs or Religious values and beliefs. There are other religions besides Christianity but the left only goes after Christ
Conservatives do not want the polarization. We just want to raise our children in peace. The left made everything polarized and politicized. We got along before and the last 10 years it’s becoming extreme. At this point. Yes. You MUST know where you stand. You need to have a opinion and we can’t just go along to get along. It s too much at risk.

It's also important to be aware that teachers aren't the student's parents, so some teachers don't actually care about your kids. Also I'd like to add that the purpose of going to school is so you can gain useful knowledge that can help you in the working field later on or whatever career you pursue. Mathematics, Literature, economics and so on. This is what parents expect their kids to learn at school.
Hearing these teachers basically say they don't care about the parents or the kids individually, they just want to get through their day with their students placated, makes me want to hug all my teachers for being such good influences in my life.
They are not paid to care about your kids. They are not baby sitters. They teach and if you don't like it teach them yourselves.
I am already questioning “school choice” as a mom of a 4 year old going into pre-k. I don’t want my child being raised thinking that genders are infinite, that it’s whatever you feel like. I want her knowing the truth, biological truth. I think by asking these types of questions you’re just planting a seed for children to develop gender insecurity and then dysphoria. So instead of telling her gender is a spectrum of whatever the fuck… I’m just going to tell her she is a biological female because that’s truth. If she wants to wear “boy clothes” I would just tell her it’s okay to experiment with clothes, boys don’t necessarily own colors (blue) and it’s okay to like certain things that may be viewed as traditionally masculine. But at the end of the day, she’s a she; a girl/female.
I feel this. I have a 3 year old boy and we have to pick a school for him to go into in 2024.
Homeschooling is the best decision a parent can make. Specially in this day and age.
Clothes can be put on and taken off without issue. Same with makeup. Hair can be cut. The flesh is weak, it gets old and shrivels and dies. But being male or female is deeper than bone. It exists before you are born and nothing you do in life can change it.
home schooling or finding the just right school is probably one of the best options. I’m in high school right now and they do push all of it in your face with slide shows, videos etc and if you don’t agree with it you could get suspended
@@bugsbunnypooexactly, freedom of speech and the right to have your own opinion is dead and buried.
3 years ago at school I had a teacher who refused to speak about what religion she had because she said it didn’t matter…I look at it now and all the teachers should be like her
Most teachers already are. I don't know what world you live in, but most teachers don't teach their private affairs.
@@daniellarkins3849 I had a teacher in highschool which was over 6 years ago who was very open and showy about being a feminist and gave extra credit opportunities where you would find an article online explaining a way in which women are oppressed and then post it on her class room door facing the hallway. There were also 2 people who were consistently late to class, one being a boy, one being a girl, and the girl was often more late and usually because she slept in, whereas the boy started out being about the same amount late, but gradually started making an effort to be on time despite it mostly being his family not getting up on time to take him to class if for no reason other than the fact that the teacher would ridicule him and embarrass him in front of the class for being even a minute late and send him to the principal's office whereas with the girl she would be let into the class with no drama or fanfare often saying that "there's probably a reason she was late." One of my friends went to the same school and once he was outed for being conservative due to an overtly political question asked in a U.S. history class. He quickly noticed a sharp decline in his grades with the notes on said papers often not describing numerical, grammatical, or structural errors with his work but rather that he was wrong for thinking a certain way about a topic.
"I don't know what world you live in, but most teachers don't teach their private affairs." That is reductive and condescending. This is happening in the real world that you, I and everyone else share, and whether or not you choose to acknowledge what's happening outside of your immediate surroundings has no bearing on how these issues should be approached, much less handled.
@@usnerdswillbenerds4889 MOST teachers don't. I don't want to be rude, but I fail too see where I was wrong in my statement. There was an article I read from about three years ago where a teacher told a young boy with two dads rhat they were living in sin. The knife cuts both ways.
@@daniellarkins3849 Maybe you're right & I hope you are. That the majority of teachers aren't sharing their personal interests with their class. My children have had a least one teacher in every grade in 4 different schools. That's 12 my oldest has dealt with and 5 my youngest has endured. 1 was even suspended & removed from a school because she made overtly biased anti-trump worksheets for homework. It may not be happening around you but it is happening.
This makes me realize how lucky I truly am to have such amazing teachers who actually teach me and care about their students. As someone who wants to get an education degree this whole thing is sickening.
As a conservative elementary science teacher, I encourage my students to research subjects of interest on their own and discuss those findings. I try my best to keep my personal life and values out of the classroom.
Right! I never knew anything about how my teachers voted at all things have gotten so weird
There is no reason to teach elementary school kids about any "alternative" lifestyles. There is plenty of time to learn that outside of school and after elementary school. The teachers who think this is important for elementary school kids to learn are pushing their own political agenda.
The problem with our education system is that it's gone from how to think to what to think.
Bingo
This sounds like it's taken straight ftom George Orwell
🎯 ‼️
Nope.
Critical thinking has never been a strong suit of this country. EVER.
As a teacher from Germany I can only say this: man, your educational system is f *** uped.
In high school, I had a teacher who used to do stuff like this all the time, but he would split the classroom in three instead of two. You had yes no and unsure and at any point during the conversation you were allowed to get up and move. The whole exercise was about how people’s opinions can change with new input and how nuances could really change your position on something
sounds pretty interesting. what class was it for?
I had a teacher like this too in 7th grade he was my geography teacher loved his class
My teacher did that back when I was in fourth grade (though it was a simple debate.)
I've worked in schools for years, and trust me, teachers DEFINITELY bring their baggage with them to school. And they definitely push agendas on the classroom. Obviously not all teachers do, but probably 90% of them do. And as we get more and more younger teachers, the greater that percentage gets.
And how do we fix this problem? Cutting down their pay, not educating our children on morality and how to treat a teacher, and leaving it up to the public school to address this problem.
You sure you don’t want a teacher teaching your kid who doesn’t even know how to manage their money properly enough to afford gas for their car? 😂
Her “shoes are ripped”.
Take the state that pays teachers the least and it still equals out to about 35/hour (that’s the poorest, too, as most averages out to $45/hour).

I opted out and homeschool my kids. We trusted schools to care for and educate our children, they abused that trust and can no longer be trusted.
How's day to day of it
I was homeschooled for a couple years. I saw more museums, reenactments, plays, zoos, aquariums and natural wonders in 3 years than in the 9 years of public school combined. My mom was worried that I wouldn't get the science lab & tech experience that school could provide. When I went back the testing put me in advanced classes but I didn't learn to type till highschool.
The fact that homeschooling is emerging as not only one of the options, but as THE only option for kids to keep them from being indoctrinated is really terrifying. This is truly disturbing.
No, you’re doing that so you can indoctrinate them. Let’s be clear, you want to keep them from ideas that aren’t yours.
@@Thinkaboutit121 no, quite the opposite. When my kids parrot things I say or think, I tell them "Just because I think XYZ, doesn't mean you should think the same". I tell them to think for themselves and make their own decisions on things. School should be the teaching of history, reading, writing, and arithmetic, just the facts with no biases of any sort. A teacher's opinion have no place in a student's mind.
If they can make their own decisions then why choose for them to be homeschooled?
@@Thinkaboutit121 because it's pretty difficult for 5 year olds to fight against constant indication 8 hours per day from September to May from an authority figure.
Technically, home schooling is also indoctrination.
Ever since graduating since 2019 and as an adult and no longer a student I have learned that many of my teachers were either left leaning or moderates. But they never said who they were voting for, race theory, etc etc they just taught the curriculum and focused on having a decent relationship with all students in the class. I am very thankful for them and appreciate them so much
Former nanny here - I dealt with some very challenging kids, who would ask me difficult questions. I always gave simple answers and anything further I would say “how about I ask your mummy what she thinks when she comes home?”. Especially questions of a sexual nature, these were categorically out of the scope of addressing because the kids were exclusively under the age of 13. If I put any ideas into the kids head, that would be in breach of my contract - high net worth parents do not mess about when it comes to protecting their kids from these things. I never saw this as a bad thing, because my role as a temporary care giver was not to indoctrinate, but facilitate. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would wish to talk about sexual topics with a minor - other than the birds and the bees chat we all got growing up. Even still, sex-ed is NOT the same as sex-orientation.
Edit: I forgot to add, I would always debrief the parents on anything of concern, and they were always extremely grateful that I respected their authority.
My history teacher NEVER shares her political views and doges any questions about her views with like "I can't tell you that. Thats my personal business." (which is a good thing)

@@mgsgamer Boohoo I had a couple of typos almost an entire year ago.
“Parents treat their child like they’re special”, coming from a teacher who treats EVERY student in their class like they’re special, and probably has to stop the class because ONE student feels hurt, forcing all the others to apologize to that one. Totally not speaking from experience or anything…
That was my issue with his statement as well. He did pick which kids are treated as special and which ones are a nusiance. Like certain ones are horrible for that attitude, but others DESERVE it. Odd.
That guy was probably the least consistent of the bunch. He kept flip-flopping on whether or not he cares about the students' well-being.
No, he's right. Ive seen parents growing up who felt their kids were special in the sense better than others and pester the teachers for dumb reasons not relating to the current culture war going on. They want special treatment for their children and butter teachers up and take up more time than any other parent . They're annoying as fuck.
@@elizabeththompson435 No one said he was wrong, just pointing out the hypocrisy of (some) liberal teachers. You can't complain about parents treating their kids like they are special when you adhere to "protected groups," i.e., those we should treat as special.
My son is in 6th grade. Already a topic was sent home, in which was political. It was a small report on the Flint water crisis. The article never mentioned once that there are other water contamination, in the US. One such was Camp Lejeune. Instead the article focused on, it being ignored for 2 years because of the slight majority of blacks in the city. Camp Lejeune was ignored for decades in comparison. The article made it political. My son was asked questions in which, were directing to him understanding that Flint was a race based incident. Never once was it discussed that this article was an opinion piece. It was sent home as fact. Also never mentioned the more recent KY water crisis. Again, to be accurate it would alert that there have been other water crisis incidents that have also taken years, sometimes decades to solve. Luckily Flint was only dealing with it for a few years. But, if it was race based, as the article states, the evidence proves that it is white communities that are more impacted. But, this was left out of the article.
That health class was about reproduction. Not sex.
It wasn't gender, sexual preference, sexual positions, and how to have sex. It was about our puberty, our body changes, and our reproduction function.
My conclusion: homeschool until school choice is the law of the land. That’s what I’m doing. For those of you who can’t homeschool, my heart goes out to you.
I homeschool my 4 kids and im reminded DAILY its the best choice for them!!!
Both my husband and I work full time. We were able to implement home schooling, but it took some changes to our work schedules (ex, I now clock in earlier than I did, and the hubbie clocks in a few hours later than was his norm) and getting grandma involved. We all three teach different subjects. It has been well worth the effort.
I grew up in a school with teachers that conceal carried. I didn't know this until I was an adult. The teachers don't broadcast that they are carrying. I was in a room with a teacher every single school day for four years and had no idea that they carried a gun. I fully support this.
Love it. I graduated in the late 80s. We had guns at school all the time. Cruise the parking lot and you’d see several pickups with rifle racks storing rifles. They weren’t supposed to bring them into school during the day, but as soon as the dismissal bell rang some of those boys would bring their rifles into shop class to work on them with the shop teacher. We lived near hunting grounds :)
Heck yeah
I think the big problem is not the good, competent teachers that handle their weapon properly. It is the inevitable idiots that leave their gun on the desk and accidentally let the kids get hold of it.
I'd recommend allowing the teachers to have guns in schools, but have a law so that if any student gets hold of the gun, the teacher gets tried for manslaughter or something similar.
As someone from a non third world country, we never had any guns on the school ground unless the police was there.
We also didn’t do any school shooter drills. They aren’t necessary here :)
@@namewithheld8115 If you get your gun stolen, you were not handling it properly. There are charges that can be filed to punish that. Manslaughter, however, to me, sounds like a gross extreme.
Luckily I went to school in the 50’s and 60’s and I NEVER heard a single teacher bring up politics. The ONLY time I knew a teacher was a Democrat was in my 7th grade art class. We knew our teacher, Mr. Walls, was gay but that never bothered us. He was a FANTASTIC art teacher. One day he was called away from class which had never happens before. He was gone about 20 min. When he came back he was crying almost uncontrollably. After a few minutes he managed to tell the class that President Kennedy had been assassinated and that Kennedy was the first President he had ever been proud to vote for. The whole class got very emotional of course. My parents were Republicans but they were just as upset. My Aunt came over and stayed with us for two weeks because she and my mom were so devastated by the whole thing.
Remember the Kennedy shooting too! Now we hear celebrities wish our president dead. What repercussion will this have?
If you can't trust them with a gun, why would you trust them with your child?
This is exactly why we shouldn't let the State (Government) raise our kids through public education !

He was really funny and witty, and all the students loved to talk to him and he would share stories and tell jokes. just an all around nice guy. except when it came to grades, but that's another story. :)) and one time i remember someone brought up something religious or political, can't remember what exactly, but i clearly remember the teacher saying: 'stop! i don't talk about religion or politics with my students, not even the undergrads. because you guys are young, really young! and anything i say about those topics is gonna leave an impression on you! and i don;t wanna do that, because that is not my job.' i really respected him for that back then, and i learned so much from that guy. a ton of math, and a few things about being funny, smart, witty, respectable, but also fair, tough, and honest. never thought i'd see a day when a guy like that wouldn't even be considered for hiring in a liberal leaning school. hope he's still teaching... he was my age back in 2007.
“I only get paid 11 months, so for a whole month I don’t get paid at all”
Translation: I get my annual salary paid out early so I don’t have to wait 12 months to get my full pay but get it a month faster than anyone else.
This is a common payment method for public teachers, with most districts having an annual pay option to automatically withhold a portion of each months pay so that teachers who are bad with money can get paid each month. Her real complaint is that she’s bad with money and so isn’t capable of saving a portion of each months pay to cover the single month she won’t get a check. This would be the same complaint most people could make: I only get paid 26 days a year and have to go without pay for the other 339 days (hint: that’s bi-weekly paychecks). To the extent we want innumerate teachers who can’t responsibly handle money and plan ahead this is a legitimate complaint, but I at least take her complaint as a confession of incompetence.
I felt the same way when the Dad's comment about his teacher friend making $150k teaching Spanish for 9 months a year was questioned. He was making a legitimate comparison. I am a licensed professional counselor. I work 12 months a year in an important profession that requires a master's degree without a pension, paid holidays, no summers and holidays off, etc. and I certainly don't make $150k. He made a great point. Do teachers deserve more pay? Probably. This lady, though, seems to need some budgeting help. What does she spend her $ on instead of new shoes at Target for $20?
And yet SHE’S the teacher. Bad with money is an understatement. No way she is a good teacher. I bet nothing in her life is ever her fault.
As a profession teachers are over paid….. teachers claiming they have to pay for their own supplies need to be more specific and have those items accounted for because that’s bull. Kids are required each year to buy a list full of items that they end up not even using majority of the time. And special items for class are provided for and bought by the school not the teachers. There is very little the teachers purchase that are needed or required for lessons. Generally speaking mind you, it’s widdled throughout state to state and even at local level. Most teachers (public) live above their means and don’t see why they shouldn’t be considered at the same level as a doctor or police officer…… there are too many “teachers” who aren’t teachers at all and don’t actually care. And even more who just want to be able to manipulate the next generation and shape them how they think the world should be. As the guy so generously pointed out teachers in public education are just government agents who have signed contracts. A lot of them could care less as long as they make a check.
Great analogy with the bi-weekly. It's the same thing.
You took the job though.
"BUT I HAD TO BECOME A TEACHER! Its the lowest IQ of all professions! I had no choice! Thats why I yell and scream when asked to think critically about the subject matter i'm teaching to your kids!"
In response to the severely time challenged male teacher (i.e., “I don’t have time”) stating that kids come in and tell all kinds of things they are learning at home …… I have no doubt that most of the things kids are “telling” him are a direct result of him initiating inappropriate conversations in the first place.
It’s also embarrassingly obvious that he repeatedly uses “I don’t have time” and “your kid is not that important to me” as a strategy. He’s trying to convey a general lack of interest in his students/children hoping that will make it easier to convince parents that he doesn’t have an agenda - - “there’s nothing to see here”. I don’t think he’s nearly as clever as he believes himself to be.
Amala, you’re an extremely intelligent and intuitive person. Thank you so much for contributing such valuable unbiased content.
I just took educational psychology and I understand that first teacher. It's an inclusive learning environment. They will put groups together that are from all backgrounds. Doing this allows the students to make different friends. It's really great. I am very lucky that so far I get a full curriculum printed out and I talk to my daughter every day about what she does in school.
The thing is, most kids are going to grow up being straight. When you start asking kids their pronouns and delving in to sexual identity, you are bound to confuse more kids than help. But something tells me they already know this.
I did the math and it turns out that if you take just a fraction ($45 billion in one bill)!of the money we have sent to Ukraine and divide it among ALL the schools in the USA it comes out to about $300,000 per school. Pretty sure that would be enough to improve safety immensely.
Sending more money to schools for bureaucrats to waste is pointless. Ukrainian war on the other hand is an investment into our future.

It's actually quite revealing how resistant these teachers are to the notion of parents being more involved with what's going on in their children's schools.
Well, I think many parents think all parents are like them. They only want to make sure that they are not being taught something against their beliefs. But there are a lot of other types of parents too. Parents that helicopter parents who don't want their child disciplined, parents who want their child to have special treatment or to sit in special seats. Parents who would like to interfere in ever aspect of the lesson out of knee-jerk fear.
I think that many of the positions that both teachers and parents have in this video is pretty naive.
@@filmgirlLisa Saldy, some parents are idiots to the point they never planned their accidents.
It's a sad reflection of how poorly parents treat their children and how resistant parents are to internalizing or even reading about facts of how to handle and treat their kids. Very sad that the teachers have been groomed by the parents to feel this way.
another thing is that the curriculum (at least where I live) includes political conversations meant to "teach us so we can form our own opinions in life"
As a teacher my "political agenda" for my students is for them to learn the subject (math), learn to think critically, and grow up able to be successful adults. And if they can leave my class feeling loved that's a bonus.
Each of them is a gift.

Retired teacher for over 40 years here. Teachers are leaving in droves because of blessed spoiled brat parents and their out of control kids. You know NOTHING!
As a parent of a 31yr old and twin 13yr old girls, I would like to know what happened to the parent's opportunity(and right) to audit classes with no notice to the teacher. I used to be able to go into my older child's classroom any time I chose, provided there was no testing or special engagement the teacher had prepared for that day. Seems that when teachers had parental oversight, none of this liberal agenda BS entered the classroom. 🤔
Exactly! When COVID put the kids at home on video classes, I heard some things that were horrid from a teacher. When I came into view and spoke up, she straight out told me I signed a document saying that I would have the child in a private setting. This was a 6th grade class. I told her, privacy will never extend to me with my children.
Probably because of school shootings becoming a thing... letting strangers in is probably not the greatest thing.

They dont want you to see whats really going on
@@ellzeescammon2600I agree. Parents should be able to tap into their children’s classes and see what’s being said and done. However there comes along safety issues for the children that aren’t yours. It’s defo something that could be discussed and sorted out to suit everyone.
I hate it when these teachers call them kids or call them their kids. THEY ARE STUDENTS. They are not your children or kids in any way, nor should they be perceived in that matter.
The most telling thing is how they don't view what they teach as political. Giving proof to the fact that they lie about what they teach. BEcause they won't tell you, till you call them out.

So why should teachers protect them!???or care about their beliefs if they’re just “students”
@Loved By You Thats exactly the point! No one's opinions matter. You treat every student the same, you don't form relationships and try to be their friend, you don't ask them their pro nouns, you teach them whatever subject your teaching and on every other topic you stfu.
@@theantileft3835 at the same time, as rare overall as school shootings are, you want teachers to have enough of a connection to their students that they will protect them in the event of one and risk themselves first. Let’s not pretend that a connection isn’t important. No, the teacher isn’t their friend. But they are legally responsible for those kids while they’re in school. A connection to help enforce that matters.

It is possible to have bias/values and not show them in the professional setting. I worked for years in the social work field, from child services, therapeutic services, and last in academia. When I retired, my coworkers gave me a retirement party and invited people from my jobs way back. The most common discussion people wanted to have with me was about my politics. I deliberately left politics at home. It can and should be done.
Simple Solution: ALL classes should be "Live On Camera" so Parents can tune in and view EXACTLY what the Teachers are doing!!!! Hide Nothing!!
Your district pays for cameras on the buses, why the hell can’t they put them in the classroom too?
Great idea. Most schools already have cameras in every hallway and some classrooms.
I'll donate to it, fuck it. A camera in every class recorded so parents can review what's going on. I don't see why teachers wouldn't also want this. It could help protect them from lying kids.
I'm not arguing that this is the best reason why not to, but there are a lot of creeps out there. It might make it a bit too easy for creeps to be spying on your children. That's whether they are getting unauthorized access to the live feed or have kids in the system themselves. I'm also just guessing that social development might look a bit different if kids feel like they are always being watched by their parents. It might not necessarily be different in a bad way, but just some food for thought.

What bothers me is that these teachers don’t respect parental prerogative. It’s not the teacher’s job to impose their customs and values onto other people’s kids.

@K Itch no no, the guys is just a straight up liar.
I would like to know what they teach (grade, subject, credentials, etc.)
I agree with most of what you say. However, as a high school teacher I can tell you that some of us educators take a hard stance on deliberately keeping our personal opinions out of the classroom. I literally tell parents that no student should ever know my politics. And if their children find out my personal politics I encourage them to call me out on it. These teachers do not represent all of us and it's important to recognize that.
I appreciate everyone of the teachers that take that stance. My problem is that parents do not know the ones they can trust and the ones they can not.
@mariafortino3450 I applaud you for your stance and professionalism. However, the left is on the offense and the right takes it on the chin.
I'm just curious. Out of everybody you work with, what is your guess as to what percentage of them agree with you and what percentage thinks that not being able to "express them selves" is oppression? No wrong answer, as I'm only asking about your personal experience.
I remember my 7th grade history teacher had a reputation for being really funny and "awesome." Everyone was excited to get assigned to his class, although his tests were difficult and he expected you to know the material. He would talk to us about aspects of government, but said he wouldn't reveal his political party (which makes sense...). Later on he showed us what a ballot looked like and it had his political party affiliation on it. I guess it slipped his mind. Honestly I didn't really need to see a ballot in 7th grade anyway, and it wasn't related to the material. Even if it was a small thing, that sidebar of showing us the ballot and telling us about how to vote was not needed. Then again, my 7th grade drama teacher also got in on the political fun, and told our class she was voting for Romney because her son was in the military and she wanted them to be well funded to keep him safe. But if that's how my teachers acted 10 years ago, I can only imagine how the pressure to talk about politics has exponentially ballooned. I don't think it should be entirely taboo for teachers to discuss their political leanings, but making it part of a lesson or curriculum material--especially in the subtly biased ways these teachers do re: sex ed and pronouns--is wrong.
@@NotAffiliated that's a great question. I would say less than 5% of my colleagues believe that it's essential to express their beliefs and will not hide their opinions. With that being said, most of the liberal teachers leave our school for more liberal institutions. So, I'm not sure if that helps my argument. lol
Excellent reaction video, Amala. Truly.
Watching this, though, I am happy that I homeschooled. I have a son, and his father taught him about sex. We both taught him about love and having a loving relationship, what the pitfalls are, etc. All questions were welcome. Nothing was actually off the table to talk about. His father and I promised that we would never lie to him (Santa wasn't real. Santa was a game.)
He was well-rounded socially, too. He's a critical thinker. Has been involved politically. He paid for his own college degree and his juris doctor and is currently a public defender and my best friend, which blesses me immensely. (my husband, his father, passed away 11 years ago)
Good harvest ❤ from years of intentional hard parenting responsibility
My parents did the same for me and my siblings, right down to knowing Santa was just a fun game (inspired by the real historical figure of St Nicholas, of course, who I always liked better than Santa! 😄)
Sorry to hear your husband passed away. All the best to you and your son. 🙂
@cmm5542 iMO, that's the way to build trust.
Right! Santa is based on a real person, and we played the game because other children may not have understood.
My husband said his own innocence burst when he learned about Santa, and he helped his parents wrap his siblings' gifts. What else did they lie about. A little trust was lost that day.
No tooth fairy or Easter bunny, though we gave him $1 per tooth. He was allowed to spend his money on anything he wanted. He ended up being a great saver. Lol.
The moment that teacher said ‘there’s this thing called data…” Inwouldnhave stopped him right there with “If you’re going to condescend to me, and not extend to me the same respect you presume I would extend to you, I don’t want to hear a thing you want to say” END.
I realize more and more how blessed I was to go to the schools I went to. We were taught about worldviews. Every person has them and they aren't necessarily going to be the same as yours. This is ok. This is good for healthy conversation. We even had to do reports on them and present them to the class (each group had a specific worldview). This allowed us to learn quite a bit without being brainwashed that one was good/bad or better/worse. We were allowed to make our own decisions and our parents knew ahead of time that we were going to be learning about this so that they could have any necessary conversations ahead of time.
I was blessed that my parents also pushed that way of thinking on me. People are gonna have doffrent views than you. People aren't going to like you for who you are. And that's ok. People are their own individual.
I went to a Catholic school in the rural Midwest, and we were taught this same thing. Moreover, because it's a private school, we had comparative religions as a mandatory class.
Good to know there's good schools out there! Bless. 🙂
Fun fact: there was less teen pregnancy before they started teaching sex ed in schools. It was always a grooming technique from the beginning to get kids comfortable with ideas their parents might not be comfortable with them learning about. Classic marxist strategy. James Lindsay does a great series on “groomer schools” on his podcast, looking into the history of this.
Thomas Sowell addressed this in his book ''The Vision Of The Anointed''
I think I’m gonna look into that
But also do you consider sex Ed to be safe sex only ….. or does that also include the 3rd/4th grade video that teaches what is normal in puberty ….. cause there are a lot. Probably hundreds of thousands or parents that wouldn’t tell there child a single thing about menstruation or that hair here is normal etc etc etc.
"It was always a grooming technique..." why assume that?
@@chyndb leave that up to the parents. Not all kids go through puberty at the average age.
@@sofiabravo1994 what if the parents think these subjects are too taboo and uncomfortable and never discuss them with their children? Is the child supposed to find about it on the internet?
Criminals don’t follow any law you try to impose. If they want a gun, they will find a gun. It’s the legal gun owners that will not be able to defend themselves from these criminals.
I don't think the arming the teachers legislation was saying that every single teacher MUST be armed. It was more to make schools not a gun-free zone. So any teachers who would already own a gun, already have the license to carry it and the knowledge of how to use it. The only difference would be they would have the option to bring a consealed firearm with them to school, in case of an emergency. Having schools be a gun-free zone paradoxically sometimes increases the odds of someone else bringing a weapon in. For example, in Britain there are a high number of "hot burglaries" meaning someone breaks into a home while the owner is still inside. Whereas in America, you never know which house is owned by licensed firearm owner, so its rare for hot burglaries to take place. Its much more common for the their to wait for the residents to leave.
Same sort of principal can apply to schools. If a kid who would otherwise go far enough off the deep end to shoot up a school, knows there is a chance that one of his teachers could be armed. Especially if they don't know which teacher it would be, that lowers that persons motivation to try that particular method of vengeance or lashing out.
Teachers should get psych evaluations considering what’s been said here. People being left to watch over and care for these kids while they’re in school should be in a healthy headspace. Thanks guys I’m pulling my kids out of school!
The number of someone wana teach are soo low that you will be left with no one. In this year universitys in my contry have problem 3 persons per university choose prep for schooling.
Well, there’s several opportunities for many people to observe you. They report to your teacher. In a class called EDU 200 you have to observe/teach for 40 hours. This is only one class to receive your AA. I’m unsure about the bachelors lol I’m almost done with my AA. :)

(ULTIMATELY I D0 AGREE)
Smart decision! I highly recommend it!
I went to public school in Texas & teachers all allowed to carry if they have extensive background checks, it always made me feel safe. There is a sign in front of the school that says there are firearms inside, and I think that could scare away potential shooters because they know they will die if they try.
100% agree. Having schools be "gun free" zones only makes them a soft and easy target.
I think the question these teachers need to ask themselves is (instead of denying the experiences some of these parents and their kids have had and dancing around the issue-)
"Why is it that NSFW art and websites are age restricted on the internet, but it's perfectly safe and okay for us to show the stuff those NSFW things depict to kids in a school?"
Children are not "sexual beings" like some perverse people and ideologies think. They belong nowhere near any of that until they are old enough (18+ imo) to be responsible and consent.
And this is why we need cameras in the classroom, so parents can watch and listen to what's being asked of our kids and what's taught in the classroom.
Can you send your kid to school with a body cam? Just wondering
That will require a substantial pay increase for teachers and education. Teachers are not paid enough and spend their own salary in supplies in my state.
The ones who are vehemently against it have something to hide.
Put a camera on me any time I around any child. As a matter of fact, I prefer it. I have nothing to hide. I wouldn’t say or do anything to a child that I wouldn’t do in front of their parents or any other adult.
I'm generally in favor of cameras in the classroom on the surface level. But when I think about the privacy of my own child, it gives me pause. Those cameras would show every child to every parent and potentially anyone else those parents wanted to show them to. This would also be a legal violation for kids in protective services. There are some definite benefits to cameras in the classroom (inappropriate curriculum, inappropriate behavior by teachers or students, etc), but there's also some definite negatives to them. I'm not sure children growing up under camera surveillance 8 hours a day is a good way to raise them. Learning trust, integrity, and grit are important. I wouldn't want my kid thinking a police state is healthy.
@@courtneycherry5582depends on the state honestly. You might catch a frame of another minor and without the parents permission that can get very dicey. I’m all for it but it’s hard to defend legally
I believe that it has been recorded that unplanned pregnancies happen more now that we have sex Ed then before and that the idea that we needed sex Ed was predicated on a lie that teens were secretly having sex. I forgot the title of the book so someone else may know but I find that interesting.
I’vw heard that too - wasn’t it that book called something like “The Liss of the Sexual Revolution”?
@@alaia-awakened that does sound right
Thomas Sowell? He basically said sex ed is completely useless at preventing sex, pushes left wing views on normalizing "liberalizing" sex attitudes, and is only effective at normalizing tolerance on gay lifestyles. Ergo, it can go and it wouldn't be missed.
I saw a video the other day that went into the actual statistics around promiscuity increasing as sex Ed increased. I’m not going to quote numbers because I don’t remember who posted the vid or actual numbers.
There was an increase in unplanned teenage pregnancies so they introduced a safe sex Ed system which led to high promiscuity in teenaged which increased the number of unplanned pregnancies.
It’s one thing to teach kids the old “where do babies come from” system but another to promote safe sex at schools by handing out condoms and encouraging sexuality because it’s safe.
that doesn't surprise me at all.
Amala - Those of us who would allow school staff to conceal carry are NOT wanting to force every teacher to have a gun. There are plenty of people in America - teachers included - who know how to handle firearms and they should be allowed, if they so choose, to conceal carry. It would be better than spending even more money we don't have in hiring retired military or police officers and when one considers how cowardly the cops behave during a school shooting, that makes hiring them a moot point.
My grandma was a gradeschool teacher for almost 50 years. She used to love it!! The reason she took early retirement was because of the parents. The “woke” parents would blame the teacher for everything instead of helping the teacher when their child misbehaved. It’s an epidemic of woke parents not disciplining their kids and thinking their kids are more special than others and should be treated that way.
So then, what's your problem with the video? If you would categorize these parents as "woke" because they feel their child is the sun, moon and stars. Then hard agree. They are pathetic thinking class pedagogy revolves all around how they feel that their child feels.
@@missright9159 yes, you hit the nail on the head!!
@@missright9159 no, these are not "woke" parents, that would be the case if they were "liberal" parents. OP is completely right, children with woke parents are raised without any morals of responsibility and respect, basically using bulldozer parenting. These parents would first yell at the teacher than having their child take any accountability for their part of the problem. These are the parents that pushed for participation trophies and no deadlines for assignments. Their intention was to shield their precious angel from any stressful situation, which sounds nice in the short term, but in the long term it has many negative consequences, these children grow up without learning how to handle life's inevitable stressful situations and thus creates more anxiety and depression in these kids/adolescences. They lack natural ambition to keep trying and striving for a better outcome, along with a whole bunch of other necessary life skills. There was a stat a handful of years back that these kids were dropping out of college/university because they could not handle deadlines. These parents are calling their child's employers to argue their child's issues such as shift scheduling, I've heard about this first hand. These kids grow up being addicted to being the victim and trying to find ways to opt out of responsibility for their own problems. Imho opinion this is why they are conflating their individualism, personality and feelings with it correlating to a new gender identity. They have grown accustomed to getting special treatment and having everyone else around them walk on eggshells. They don't know how to own up to and problem-solve their own mental anguish issues.
That's interesting. And I fully agree as well. But in my situation it's actually reversed. I live in Toronto like downtown core. And there's a progressive "non traditional" elementary school here in our radius (we are moving in a couple of years BTW currently pregnant with baby girl). And I raise my son with discipline and boundaries while also modeling good behavior with mom & dad. He's a great boy who knows how to be kind and play but still knows not to hit and whine and cry over everything. He's 4 BTW. So this school since he started kindergarten in Sept. Has been a nightmare. They believe in not setting boundaries, very casual on routines, and no structure and no time outs. Their discipline is called a "calming corner" 🙄. So my son has been getting hit and punched in the face and scratched by 3 little boys who never get fucking disciplined! I brought up concerns to the teachers (fair enough it's the curriculum so i feel they do what they can). And they dismissed it. Until I saw one of those little Boys after school punch my son in the face right infront of me!!! I was raging!! I brought it up and they finally took me serious. I had to really set my concerns in the parent teacher interview. And said I'd rather you pay more attention to those kids and make sure everyone is safe. To me it's the lack of structure and routine and discipline. And the fucking wokeness! It setting our kids up for failure!! Teach them their abcs and 123s and structure routine and discipline. And the kids who need more attention take them out of the classroom and discipline them. And fucking tell the parents and stop being scared!
@@aggiev8561 damn, you said that so well!! I couldn’t agree more.
As an RN, I have taken care of children who were 14, with 2 kids and one on the way. The one that sticks in my head the most, did not know that sex got her pregnant. Her mother, upon hearing this said "Well, I figured when she got pregnant the first time, she knew why!". Sex education is essential in schools. However, the conversations about gender, can wait until high school and I for one, would be more comfortable with it being a voluntary course for kids to take. That said with two bi-sexual children.
When you create a space that is labeled as a no weapons place then you are opening that place up to be an easy target for someone with malintent. You have to have legislation that the teacher would have to be properly trained and you would NEVER publish who the teachers are that are armed so the kids would not know which teachers were armed with a weapon. There are also a lot of military veterans that would be willing to work for the school districts as safety officers because there are not enough police officers to patrol and protect every school building.
I remember when I got in trouble in elementary school for calling Christmas break not holiday break. I didn't budge. To this day I still call it Christmas break.
Christmas break! Can’t wait!
Good on you! I do too.
Not ONE teacher talks about “I want to teach grammar”. “Mathematics”. “Cursive”.

Amala,
I've just discovered your channel recently, and you've hooked me. Not only do you keep eye contact with the camera, expressing your opinions, but also don't crop clips from your channel, so far, from my perspective. Props to you for staying real and providing informative videos.
In school.. why do they need pronoun preferences stated?!? If a kid had a pronoun preference im sure they would bring it up… not to mention, teachers usually use the childrens’ names and “you”
People seem to forget when we use pronouns, its usually when the person in question isn't present, so why do they care so much in how you talk about others in your privacy? If talking is how we communicate our thoughts then wouldn't that mean they want to control how others think? Well.. Why would anyone have such a desire to control how people think in a certain way when their all alone for?
Not all classrooms setting allow any type of pronoun talk. My one friend is a cancer survivor and she gets called boy or man so many times due to short hair when she can’t grow it out. There are teachers who flat out won’t use her pronouns so she had to dealt with being misgendered.
Instead of asking ‘should teachers carry guns?’ The question should be ‘Can teachers concealed carry at their job?’
I'm a teacher. Why should I have to give up my ability to protect myself? I'm also a football coach. And a large man. I'm the one expected to break up the fights and deal with violence in the school. Wouldn't cross my mind to use the gun in one of those situations, only if I hear gunshots will it enter into my mind to even be prepared to draw. I know this for a fact due to intense situation I've encountered in my life. None at a school to the extent where I thought about getting a weapon.
As a non-American a question weather a teacher should carry weapons or not seems like a weird joke.
@@ModernLady In America, everyone without a criminal record can take a course, and apply for a concealed weapons permit. This allows you to carry a pistol in public so long as no one knows you have it. However, there are arbitrary areas where you cannot carry. Oddly enough schools are one of the most vulnerable ‘gun free zones’ in our country. Somehow we protect banks much more extensively than our children. I think that’s the real joke
@@brandoneggleston25 while here we don’t give weapons to just anyone. So there is very little gun violence. I would feel less safe with teachers walking around with guns. How do you protect children if a teacher snaps? Let children carry? Or is it always kids that are shooting in schools and if, then why? Why is everybody shooting each other?
@@ModernLady We don’t let just anyone buy a gun either. There are hundreds of thousands of laws surrounding gun ownership. If a teacher ‘snaps’, I have no doubt that our court system will put them in jail for the rest of their life.
I don’t think you understand the legal ramifications of a justified shooting. If you shoot a robber trying to break into your house.. you’re likely going to face millions of dollars in legal fees. Also, no one is advocating for kids carrying guns. That’s crazy!
I’m sure your country’s violent crime statistics are comparable per capita. Isolating gun violence is such a weird thing since most gun deaths are suicides
Not one teacher ever worried about my emotional or physical comfort growing up. All they wanted was complete assignments.
