@shabooyahc: Reposting this @@Sha Collierbecause school is starting — and it’s more than just school supplies and schedules. 📚✏️ Parents: Have the hard conversations. Talk to your kids about excellence. About showing up prepared. About how their choices have consequences — in the classroom and beyond. Teachers can set the bar, but it starts at home. We’re not asking for perfection — just effort, respect, and accountability. #backtoschool #teachersoftiktok #fyp #blowthisup #teacherlife #students #parentsoftiktok #formerteacher

I’m so jealous bc in africa you memorize everything. They don’t care. You have no type of support to help you remember.

as a parent I'll die on this hill, ITS THE PARENTS FAULT! the parents don't parent, they don't educate, they rely strictly on third parties to raise there children. I know because my child is considered "advanced" because I taught her basics i learned at the same age. most high-school students can't form a proper sentence let alone anything close to grammatical structure, every one of them grew up online with there parents asking "why don't you already know this?"

I don’t think “too much empathy” is the issue. It’s a lack of consequences. You can be empathetic and still enforce consequences. The issue is entitled kids, parents and No Child Left Behind. Bad policy, not “too much empathy”.

Unpopular opinion, take the tablets away, make textbooks the primary tool again, i feel like it would drastically help with the literacy crisis.

1) Have you done any coaching with your neurodivergent students, or did their needs get glossed over? 2) A number of those students were likely so afraid of failure they would rather not have the materials so they have a scapegoat instead of taking responsibility.

Are the tablets provided to students who cannot afford it? I get for the other stuff but tablets are not cheap

to me, it's not an issue of too much empathy, it's an issue of coddling. These kids are used to being coddled and this is the age where the training wheels needs to come off

For me it’s lack of shame. Students do not feel shame anymore.

I work in the front office at a 7th & 8th campus, the amount of students that don’t come to school with their device charged is crazy but their phones, watches and air pods are all charged and ready to go. Those same students tend to leave their devices at home but have their phones, watches and air pods with them. Also those are the same students who break & loose their devices then have their parents call and complain because “That’s too much responsibility for their child” again they know exactly where their phones, watches and air pods are. It’s not just an empathy issue it’s an accountability issue.

Devils advocate but if a copy of the periodic table is necessary for the exam, then it should be provided for the students

Any parent that thinks you’re the villain are the problem! Stop acting like everyone in life will give your kids a pass or a grace period. If obligations or bare minimums aren’t met they will not succeed. Just because mom and dad save them every time they fail doesn’t mean their bosses, teachers, or spouses will

Quit letting kids get away with not doing the work. Quit the no child left behind shit. The more you let them slide through school, youre failing them at learning any of the basic life skills they need to develop by the time theyre adults

"no child left behind" is the worst thing to happen to students imo. you should be held accountable if you're not passing your classes unless you have a learning disability or problems at home. but most kids just dont do their work or cheat on their homework and fail on tests but teachers just pass them on to the next grade like its nothing

I think a lot of people especially millennials saw their average discomfort and hardships has “trama” or “abuse” and a lot of millennials went to therapy and got validation in those feelings instead of gaining coping skills and try really hard to not to “abuse” their kids they was they felt they were but it’s not abuse it’s just life and life is uncomfortable sometimes

It’s so difficult to overcome poor parenting while teaching. You can’t undo that!

It’s not too much empathy. It’s the lack of accountability and just not allowing them to fail sometimes. Failing is also a choice they can make and a good lesson too. Why do they always have to get a good grade on everything without earning it? They need to learn how to earn their grades.

Part of middle school I think is to teach them responsibility and to be self sufficient, which I don’t think their adults understand either. I teach junior high choir (7-9th) and I have multiple guardians ask why they’re failing my class but they don’t show up to concerts. I will not excuse them. At the beginning of the year, their adults sign my syllabus agreement that states that they understand that concerts are summative assessments, they are responsible for getting their student to the concert, and that they have put the dates in their calendar. I offer an alternative assignment for those who can’t make it. I send reminders. I remind the kids, like everyday, leading up to the concert when they need to be there and what time it starts…Still… we are arguing about it throughout the year.
