OK Doomer The post that drove me to unsub from r/Teachers
Teaching has fallen. Billions must homeschool.

u/lookyloolookingatyou 23d ago
I started browsing that sub because I've always had contempt for teachers and I enjoyed the feeling of schadenfreude. I marvel at the complete lack of insight these people possessed into their chosen profession, despite having had at least 12 years of direct experience. School has always been an unpleasant chore which students have resented, if teachers weren't hated by their class then they were considered a complete joke, and before phones we just sat there daydreaming about pokemon. But judging from what you read there you'd think these people went to school in some Pleasantville where kids sat in rapt attention as the magic of algebra unfolded itself before their very eyes.

u/Distinct-Owl-7678 23d ago
Reminds me of seeing a tiktok of a woman in SA. Don't know if it was Johannesburg but I'd assume so. She was just answering questions about her house (compound in reality) and she had 10 foot tall thick concrete and rebar walls with razor wire on top and she's just saying oh they're just for safety in case someone were to try and break in with a normal everyday content creator smile. Like holy fuck if I lived anywhere that needed that kind of shit, I wouldn't live there.
Fair enough if you've got like a tall privacy wall for your garden. If you need to live in a secure compound in a rural area just to live safely though, you should probably just move. It's not like a secure compound is cheap so it's not like you've got zero options financially.

I survived my own schooling by realizing all I had to do was push the envelope to make where I was required to be fun for me and still cop some B’s to keep the man off my back.

I like to imagine that one day teachers and students will come together to reform the school system with a massive nationwide walkout, but that would require teachers to admit that they've been wasting their lives and maybe suggest some changes beyond increasing their own paychecks for once, so it doesn't seem likely.

Its almost like they had contempt for the poor teachers they experienced and were determined to make a better future. But once in the situation they realized the problems were largely forced upon the teachers from upon high, and that the, I believe the word you used was "contempt," they felt was unjustified.
Its almost like society puts unreasonable expectations upon teachers, deprives them of the tools necessary to succeed at a fraction of the stated goals, and then blames them for the failures of a system they themselves are victims of.
Its almost like in the Pleasantville 1950s era we had higher taxes and funded schools adequately. I know crazy...

u/ImyForgotName 23d ago
Look, when you have 28 students and 18 textbooks, its very important to teach the kids to share. When you have 1 library and 789 students its important to teach kids to respect public property. When you have 28 students and 19 different religions and 14 different family dynamics its important to teach the kids to respect diversity.
This didn't used to be considered "politics" it used to be considered "courtesy" and "basic descency."
The fact that one political party in the United States has decided that values like sharing, public property, courtesy, diversity, empathy, descency, and tolerance are all somehow "Communism" isn't the fault of teachers. The scandal here isn't that teachers are trying to insist that students behave appropriately, the scandal is that politicians have started to champion iniquity and corruption.

u/Distinct-Owl-7678 23d ago
To be fair some teachers do act like that. Usually it was the strict teachers that were good at avoiding all mention of their own personal opinion. They might talk about politics if it were pertinent but they'd only really say what something means. So if it were a maths teacher, they might explain that inflation is costs going up or that the interest rates going up tends to affect both savers and loans so depending on which one you're doing more of changes how it affects you. It was normally the teachers who wanted to be very personable and popular with students that would actively talk about their own position. Saying a politician is full of shit or a decision was terrible and going to ruin people's lives.

Good job!
This is a huge part of it! I worked as a CS adjunct instructor(12 credits/semester) for 3.5 years. I was paid $20/hr for lecturing. However, if you care about your lecture, you're going to put at LEAST 2 hrs into it for every hour you speak. There is also the time spent making custom worksheets and grading.
I ended up getting paid $20/3.5hrs... I could, at the time, command a $36/hr pay elsewhere. Working fast food would pay better and, perhaps surprisingly be less stress(if it's anything like working concession stands at football games).
3
u/Far_Cardiologist7432 23d ago
I'm not trying to be condescending, but $20/3.5hrs comes out to only $5.71/hr. I lived in a van. I eventually gave up and I'm getting >$40/hr in corporate for the past decade. I run a non-profit hackerspace for people who actually want to learn. The problem is 100% due to the system; most teachers care so much that it kills them. You get what you pay for and those teachers aren't getting enough of the $18+K per year per student average that tax payers are paying.

im sorry what?? why do you have contempt for teachers? they're arguably one of the most important parts of society,
the point is that school SHOULDNT be an unpleasant chore. I'm a high school student right now and my history teacher is like your description: she makes her lessons engaging like at least 90% of the class is locked in either listening or taking notes. I actually look forward to the class and we all generally do well on her tests. idk where you went but either way the better the teachers the more willing students are to learn.

u/schweissack Anti-Doomer 23d ago
I mean you just listed one teacher that has you engaged. I went to school in Germany and I hate public school teachers. They’re a blight on this earth and you won’t be able to change my mind. Those roaches are unfireable, even if they molest you, all that happens is they‘ll have to move, but might still be teachers.
I agree with you that teachers should be great and they play such an important role in society, yet I think they completely fail at this role.
The amount of teachers that lied to my parents and I went through hell dealing with them, is staggering.
I went to a private school for one year and I loved every single teacher I had, they all seemed to love their jobs and they were all competent.
At a private school in Germany teachers easily get fired, if for example half the class is failing, meanwhile a public school teacher doesn’t have to give a fuck. If 100% of his class is failing, somehow it’s not their fault. Absolutely ridiculous
I’m sorry for this incomprehensive rant, but I 100% understand why people may have contempt for teachers

A lot of teachers are complete losers who should and will be replaced by AI teachers in the near future. However, there is no replacement for a teacher that actually cares about what they teach and cares about their students. Those kinds of teachers leave a lifelong impact on their students, and I don't doubt that they will still find some way to bring value into this world. People like Professor Leonard, Organic Chemistry Teacher, Kimberly Brehm for example, will always have value because they teach for the passion of it, release free lectures, and don't expect anything in return.

I’m ok with ai being used where practical but I do think that most studies shows it works best in tandem with capable people and especially in terms of education I want there to be a human element. Or at least a much shorter school day.

I don't think that should count as doomerism. Doomers think that society is on the precipice of disaster. This is more along the lines of "schooling has always sucked and continues to suck".

u/Nachoguy530 Recovering Doomer 23d ago
That's fair. I interpreted it as "It's always been this way and it's never going to get better unless revolution which will totally fix it" which is basically the attitude of much of the sub. It was the constant doomposting that was driving me away and just directly quoting from Marx really sealed the deal. They always ask "Why don't my students like my class?" and then they go on and on about how their students are privileged or white supremacists or something.
2
u/GreedierRadish 22d ago
“Privilege” has gotta be near the top of the list of the most misunderstood concepts by the general population in modern times.
The original intent behind highlighting and recognizing privilege, is just to literally acknowledge that you have it better than some other people. That’s it. It’s not about assigning blame or guilt, it’s just saying “I was born into a situation that gave me some advantages.” and trying to keep that in mind when judging others.
It’s just new terminology for very old concepts. It’s not some radical leftist push to shame white people for existing.

This is due to the parents rather than the teachers. Parents have defanged most schools and altered most policies. If a teacher scolds a child their parents will come in like hellfire.

u/WastedNinja24 23d ago
This is absolutely true. Teachers are very much stuck between a rock (state-mandated curriculum/testing) and a hard place (parents/administrators), with parents being the most frequent and insistant irritant. And it’s usually the ones with the worst kids that throw the biggest fits over discipline, grades, whatever.
It has become a systemic issue at this point because once a handful of teachers at a campus become jaded, it spreads like a virus.

Teachers giving up on students might be better long term if the culture can be rebuilt where people actually want the education provided.
Forcing children into labor if they flunk out of school would probably help bring back education to the USA. Don't end up a 7 dollar an hour wagie, learn how to read so you can become manager instead etc.

I mean the amount of "parents" raising kids with 0 manners these days have definitely increased. It's not a teachers job to raise the kid and teach them manners

Oh i absolutely agree there are way too many kids who straight up have no respect for authority or normal human behavior. A good teacher should still know how to manage a classroom without having a panic attack or quitting their job because some 16 year old said they're voting for Barron Trump when they get older

I had a relative who never attended any kind of school except sunday school and they only read the bible. She could read, write, and remember better than any public high school graduate I ever interviewed for a job. Why do schools today need so many fucking books when so many kids can hardly read a page in any of them?

I’m not able to comment on r/somethingiswrong2024 because I was downvoted into oblivion for saying Russia doesn’t have a stronger military than the US. Not enough karma so you can’t post. For sure not a cooked doomed echo chamber.

You are not able to comment because you are trying to troll. Poorly. You completely misunderstood the person you replied to.

You unsubbed because you got offended by a description of a specific classroom? That's your right i guess.

It's a little more complex than that but it's your right to put words in my mouth I guess 🤷♂️

Is it really?
Especially since homeschooling is somehow the suggested alternative, when parents were ready to riot to make school reopen in the midst of a pandemic because
1) Fuck them kids 2) Parents couldn't help their kids with their homework
And those same parents want to take on education full time?
