You know what fuck the unions, they fuck over more people than they help. Here in Australia, the unions pushed for workers to get a ridiculous pay rise, the management agreed due to being under constant pressure, now the factory that received the rise is being shut down due to the corporation being unable to keep this large funding up, 600 people out of a job, a large community's economy at threat and another corporation going overseas, thank you unions for fucking every one over once again.
sometimes its the learning environment, sometimes other factors. but i remember this teacher who taught us so much more than what she was required to. she taught us how to live. to stay strong and stick things out by your own means instead of just hanging your head and accepting the crap dished out to you. and she taught by example. kudos to all the teachers who made a difference in our lives.
I remember 8th grade french class. The teacher would spend the entire class on the computer. Attendance wasn't taken, we would sometimes get worksheets we wouldn't do, basically if you did show up, it was because you wanted to socialize with the other students in your class, or you wanted to get homework done from other classes
it really is the teachers, I remember grade 11 biology, I got a D overall. But there were two units not taught by my teacher. One was taught by a student teacher, the other by his replacement when he went on paternity leave. I got B's in the two units not taught by my teacher, and the class average was D+
This film is one of the biggest pieces of propaganda I've ever seen. It's sad a lot of people watching will only learn about the issues facing education from this incredibly biased documentary. There's a lot of good information in there, but it's dead wrong for assigning blame almost entirely on teachers. Read up and understand the issues before using this documentary to defend your view points. It's a joke.
key words: nwo,illuminati, THIS IS NO ACCIDENT PEOPLE , EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CALCULATED & PLANNED OUT TO BE THIS WAY! THIS IS ONLY ONE PIECE TO AN ENORMOUS PUZZLE MANUFACTURED TO KEEP THE MASS POPULATION FROM EVOLVING!...ok i'm done venting now
I agree teachers need to be put in a more "urgent" situation if they can't handle it they need to move on to a different profession where they can deal with their situation... This would open up many opportunities for other teachers that could deal with these problems better... But how to make this JOB more competitive??? Second thought parents need to be involved... 2/3 of the students influence comes from home...
Tenure does not guarantee a job for life, instead it guarantees a teacher to "due process." In other words, the teacher must be fired for a reason, and his/her supervisors need to have documented evidence that they tried to help this teacher (is it just one class he can't handle or is it all of them, did the teacher get a bad mix of students, how have they done before this year, etc. etc.)
So they showed students misbehaving in class and they want to fire the teacher who is NOT ALLOWED to kick them out of class? Instead of firing the student or the administrator? The teachers who have to put up with these behaviors should get paid MUCH more - not fired. Does anyone really think that teachers want kids playing craps, swearing, and being disrespectful in the classroom? It's not in the teacher's control. Nor is it in the teacher's union.
@guysenjem The teacher does have control if the admin helps them but it is up to the teacher to step up and act... The classroom is that teachers domain and if the teacher is too week to make it his/her domain then the students will make it their domain and do as they please...
@cuauhtemoc14 "If the administration helps them". You really have no idea of current education law nor the politics involved. How would you suggest a teacher deal with kids who are purposely disruptive to the classroom? Show them an ABC after school special? You are not allowed to kick kids out of class in public education. But you have obviously never taught nor are you capable of teaching as evidenced by your spelling.
@cuauhtemoc14 High School Economics, EBD, Biology, Algebra, and Chemistry this year. I am dual licensed and have a master's in Instruction. Your IQ is a small fraction of mine. In order to teach you have to have at least a base knowledge of some subject and you clearly are an idiot who couldn't teach a dog how to bark.
@guysenjem You teach dogs to BARK?? LOL... It's not what you teach it's what they learn buddy... Send me your email I'll send you some Chemistry lessons and Physics in case they have you teaching that... Have a good one I hope you don't have that attitude with your students because they're not going to learn anything from a teacher with that attitude...
@guysenjem If you choose to go into a teaching career expecting to have a perfect class of students who sit in their desks and listen all day long you are going into the wrong profession and not done your research. It is not like these teachers do not know what they are getting themselves into. It has been proven that students can give respect to teachers, I have seen it firsthand, it has also been proven by the KIPP schools.
@bjohnson089 Your a fool Kipp schools can and do exspell disruptive students. Do your research before you open that big flap on your face. You can't teach. Don't try to put down those who can and do.
@guysenjem I could respond to your comment in the immature disrespectful way you responded to mine but I am a bigger person than you are. First, congratulations on your dual maters. Unfortunately having a masters does not automatically make you a good teacher. Obviously your extensive education did not teach you that making assumptions is a waste of time. I am glad you think that I "can't teach" by simply a comment I made on a youtube page. You would be glad to know that I do teach.
@bjohnson089 I teach in one of the most difficult school districts, the Chicago Public Schools. You would also be glad to know that 96% of my students met the state standards and out of those 65% exceeded them. So I think that my results prove that in fact I can teach. And agreeing with cuauhtemoc14, I hope that you do not treat your students the way you treat people on this website because then I would understand why they do not respect you as a teacher. You have no right to put down teachers
@bjohnson089 who can teach and can do it without constantly sending out students who misbehave. If what you are doing works for your classroom that is great, but no two classes are the same and you need to respect other educators who do an amazing job with the resources they are given. I would love to know where you teach to make sure that I never send my children to someone who does not know what respect is. I hope you think more before you go making horrible assumptions.
@bjohnson089 Oh sure you do. Tell us all another. My district kicks butt on Chicago Public Schools anyway. It's not even close. What do you teach? HS, elementary? Nothing?
@bjohnson089 You still haven't told me what you teach and at what school. That's how I know you are not a teacher. You can't tell me the details of your education. You can stop sending stuff my inbox and respond with details within one minute as I know you are receiving this. Anything longer than a minute and we all know you are making up stories. What your licensure?, where do teach?, what grade?, what are the state standard tests? what scores are passing? how many preps do you have? etc.
@guysenjem I am sorry that I have a life outside of youtube. I am done discussing with you because it is not proving anything to either of us. I teach English 11th and 12th grade. Please find something better to do with your time as you will not receive anymore responses from.
@bjohnson089 Hey buddy, you're the one contacting me on my youtube page. Get a life! Now we know for fact if we didn't know before that you are not a teacher. Your generic response without the details asked for prove it. Who comes on youtube and lies about their job in order to try and win an arguement. What a loser.
@bjohnson089 You could respond except that you are an idiot and a now a liar. You are not a teacher and you have no teaching license. You still can't address that the fact that I correctly taught you a lesson - Kipp schools can and do expel many many students. I call a spade a spade. That's part of my teaching strategy.
Wow...not one kid cussing a teacher out; no gang activity; no teen pregnancies; everyone coming to school on time, everyday, with supplies and ready to learn; parents involved in the education process; no kids needing ADHD medication; no issues with illegal drugs in these schools; computers in every classroom; I did not see any kids with their pants hanging off their ass; all the kids are neat and groomed and respectful of their teachers.
@runninglow9SS amen to that. i have taught before. kids are motherfucking assholes. when i was in junior high, they wedgied a teacher. If it were my way, the teachers would have the full right to kick the fuck out of certain kids, after identifying them as problem kids by having video in all classrooms. just a dream, but if people think their fucking asshole kids are so good, let's video tape it all, and just give the tape to the parents!!!
@runninglow9SS actually in some cases it's different, when I was in high school I went to Troy, it's a nationally ranked school and has been for the past 10 years. The school boasts of being the best in orange county along with sending at least 20 kids to an ivy league school. The kids there are salivating for an education, they WANT to learn...the school is 53% asian; but some teachers are just horrible and don't want to teach.
@MsJanetWood If a firefighter read a newspaper while a house burned down I would hope he'd be fired. Every profession has great, average, and poor performers, it's ridiculous that teaching is the only profession where the poor performers can't be fired and the great performers can't be rewarded.
@bjohnson089 Yes but who's job will it be to measure that success? Someone like Michelle Rhee who has barely any background in teaching and education herself? Or will we use a standardized test that will most likely never measure critical and analytical problem solving skills? Oh and what about specialty teachers - art, music, gym, dance, technology how will they be measured?
@themindtrap39 Anyone with any basic grasp of statistics could develop a fair model. Only teachers seem to not be able to understand that the rest of the world has measurement metrics that take variability into account. Obviously if you're dealt a hand of idiot kids that would be taken into account. It would be very easy to build a predictive model and if the teacher exceeds that for each kid then they would get a higher raise. The rest of the world works this way.
@buckeyemike81 Teachers can be fired. Tenure does not prevent them from being fired despite what this documentary will have you believe. Does tenure need to be reformed? Absolutely, but do we need it? Yes. Other professions do not need tenure, they do not need to be protected for promoting creativity and independent thinking. As for being rewarded, great teachers see rewards in the form of student success not in a monetary sense.
@themindtrap39 If you look at termination rates for teachers vs any other profession it's staggeringly low. Yes they CAN be fired at a huge cost to the schools in time and money.
As for creativity, what a smug jackass you are. You don't think other professionals need to be creative and think out of the box to excel in their careers? Also what creative or independent thinking does a 3rd grade math teacher require?
@buckeyemike81 I stand by what I originally said. Tenure is far from being a perfect system but it's necessary.
As for creativity I have enough that I can post a comment without calling someone a smug jackass. I never said other professionals didn't need to be creative or think out of the box to excel. I believe it takes quite a lot of creative and independent thinking to teach 3rd grade math, or to teach anything. Clearly, you have absolutely no understanding of education.
@themindtrap39 You said that teachers need tenure because they have to be creative, but other professions don't need tenure, which would imply that they aren't creative.
3rd graders learn basic boring things (as they should). I'm sure there are standards in place to teach them fractions or other basic things they need to learn.
Tenure is for 2 things. 1) Research professors and 2) College professors that teach controversial things. There shouldn't be controversy in 3rd grade.
@themindtrap39 You can't have it both ways, you can't have these unions demanding outrageous compensation while at the same time say that you don't care about money and the twinkle in the eye of your students is reward enough.
The main problem comes from terrible teachers being paid the same as great teachers. This is demoralizing to high performers and will lead to the best teachers quitting before reaching higher salaries, which means the majority of high earners are poor performers.
@buckeyemike81 Actually you can have it both ways if you don't believe me take a look at the many other European countries (Finland is a great example) who have very strong unions, have teachers that are highly respected by the public and who's students out perform those in the U.S. The unions don't demand outrageous compensation, they demand fair salaries. If you become a teacher you surrender the ability to ever become rich from your day job.
@themindtrap39 Also, if you're not a teacher how can you make assumptions about how the high performing teachers feel? Obviously if they felt so demoralized by their union I don't think so much union solidarity would exist. Unless you're assuming there are so few high performing teachers it's hopeless for them - surely you don't think that?
@themindtrap39 Yeah, I do think that. The entire system for decades has been skewed to reward poor and average performers. When enthusiastic and potentially great teachers are put into a hopeless system where they can't be properly rewarded they quit (as they should). Half of new teachers quit within 5 years.
Teaching is the only profession that refuses to compensate its workers based on merit. It's ridiculous and in the end hurts the kids by subjecting them to subpar instructors.
@themindtrap39 The market should determine a teacher's salary based on merit and need like very other profession. Also teachers are paid more than many other professions, the notion that they are underpaid was perhaps true decades ago, but is nonsense today.
If you are happy in a profession that doesn't compensate you as well as others, and you understood this going into it, then you shouldn't complain that you aren't being paid what other professions are paid.
@MsJanetWood Please respond to 1 of my replys already. Your literally on every education video, spewing the same nonsense thats easy to refute. Based off all the comments I've seen of yours, I'm guessing your an ever-so-crappy teacher that wants to blame everyone else but yourself. Here's my proposal: Pay increase for all teachers (I'm thinking doubled), incentives for good teachers, fire bottom 10%, DESTROY TENURE, allow principals to evaluate teachers more than once a year. Your thoughts?
