00:00:00.080 What up guys? Welcome to my reaction series. Today we're talking about women becoming teachers. So
00:00:06.460 women have completely taken over the job of being a teacher. 77% are women. Almost anything done by 1.00
00:00:14.300 mostly women, of course, will have the narrative that it's so hard to do. It's so hard to be a 1.00
00:00:19.000 nurse. It's so hard to be a secretary. It's so hard to be a mom. There's nothing that these women 1.00
00:00:23.340 can go through in these jobs that will ever compare to being a man having to lay concrete
00:00:29.840 or work at an oil rig. Ever since 2020, women that are teachers have been going on to social 0.99
00:00:35.340 media and complaining about their jobs. They set schedules, summers, and holidays off and
00:00:40.520 don't have to do any physical labor. What could they be possibly complaining about? Let's take
00:00:45.600 a look. You never see guys in the oil rig complaining about their job. I've been a teacher for about
00:00:50.920 four to five years and I've literally worked at at least four schools. And here's why.
00:00:55.140 Because it's miserable. Here are the top few things that make teaching literally miserable.
00:01:00.140 Number one is the administrators. It's not the children. It's literally the administrators.
00:01:04.580 Because I believe that when they leave like a teaching position and go a little bit higher up,
00:01:09.320 they get like this, go on a power trip where they don't know how to talk to teachers.
00:01:13.640 That's completely true. I'm going to give her that one. Women running schools is scary. 1.00
00:01:19.640 They're very, very disrespectful. And this is not every single administrator, but most are. 0.98
00:01:25.720 Teachers get talked to like their five-year-olds. Like clap if you hear me. Clap twice if you hear
00:01:31.880 me. And meetings to me is so degrading. Like it's all the time or like talking to you like in a baby
00:01:36.280 voice or constantly trying. See, men will just accept it. They'll just say, okay, well, I'm getting
00:01:40.400 paid, whatever. Because they're constantly trying to quiz you and make sure that you heard what they
00:01:44.960 said. Like they'll say something and then literally be like, okay, so what did I say? And there's like
00:01:50.000 grown people who respond. No, no, ma'am. No, ma'am. It's disrespectful because you're constantly
00:01:54.900 talking to teachers as if they're already doing something wrong. And I don't appreciate it.
00:01:59.700 Number two is the pay. The reason I've job hopped so many times and not, is not just because like
00:02:07.220 the jobs were miserable, but also because the pay was miserable. And now I'm making in just four years,
00:02:12.460 literally double what I used to make four years ago when I first started out teaching.
00:02:17.240 And that's because I job hop. So if you are a new educator, please do not stay complacent in one
00:02:24.580 spot and just keep working, thinking you're not going to get good raises. You're just not,
00:02:29.040 there's not a lot of growth. If so, if you don't want to move up to the administrator ladder,
00:02:33.380 up the administration ladder, then you need to just job hop to make more money. Look into charter
00:02:39.080 schools, looking to pick up, picking up contracts, especially if you have your SPED license as well,
00:02:43.760 you could be making a lot more. Number three is the documentation and paperwork. The just,
00:02:52.100 it's like excessive. It's like, you have to fill this out. You have to do that. It's like, okay,
00:02:56.160 great lesson plans. Fine. But then you're, oh, well, now we're doing intervention. You need to
00:03:00.720 have lesson plans for intervention. And now you have to do this. And I have to fill out that and
00:03:04.160 to keep a daily log of this and do that. And this feedback paperwork and this and that,
00:03:08.140 like it's literally teaching has become like 40% paperwork, 40% documentation and meetings and all
00:03:16.680 this extra BS that literally hasn't. Yeah. It's funny. The complaints that she's saying
00:03:20.820 are the complaints men have when they work in corporate or any other female run organization.
00:03:26.440 And meetings and all this extra BS that literally has nothing to do with your job
00:03:30.000 and takes away from actually teaching your kids, actually literally meeting their goal.
00:03:35.760 It's no wonder these kids can't read these days.
00:03:38.140 They're really meeting their goals, which especially like the SPED world is so important
00:03:43.420 because they have IEP goals and you have to make sure that you're working on those goals. Right.
00:03:48.400 But no, they, they busy you up with 85 other things. Like I just started a job somewhere today
00:03:53.400 and I already can tell it's not going to be good because everything that they've told me that I'll
00:03:59.420 have to do, like 60% of it has nothing to do with my actual position. So I don't see myself
00:04:04.620 staying here long because of that. And then I think I'm on number four. Number four would be the
00:04:10.860 just lack of time to actually do all the documentation. Like I said, tying into number
00:04:17.200 three of the lack of time and everything that to do everything that you have to do, right? All the
00:04:22.600 paperwork and everything. It's almost that they're literally like delusional to the fact that it just
00:04:29.160 cannot be humanely done without taking away from teaching the children. And I don't know if they've
00:04:34.000 noticed this, but the more you ask teachers to do paperwork and documentation, the worse the scores
00:04:41.000 will be. Because what do you think I'm going to go home with the pay that I get? Do you think I'm
00:04:46.320 going to go home and do it? No. So I just think if you're thinking about going into education, don't
00:04:51.960 frickin' do it. If you do it, drop hop. Drop hop. That's the only way you're going to get paid more
00:04:55.940 money. But it's just very frustrating. And I just wanted to come out and like share it with other
00:05:01.900 people. Like it's literally one of the worst professions on this planet. You get no respect.
00:05:06.100 You don't get talked to like you're an adult, even a human almost sometimes. And the pay is crap. And 1.00
00:05:12.520 like the workload is massive. Even with summers off, like people are like, oh, but you get summers off.
00:05:17.080 No, we get paid for 10 months. And then that money is divided out over 12 months. Like it's,
00:05:23.340 it's not like, oh, we just get paid over something. No, no. It was just budgeting our
00:05:26.840 paychecks for us. Okay. Like that's literally all it is. It's. You do get summers off. I mean,
00:05:32.360 okay. Anyways, doesn't the average teacher make like 75k? Let's face it. Our generation is in a

00:06:49.080 All right, let's see what's next.
00:06:54.320 Okay.
00:06:54.880 I think I'm at the point now where every day that I come to this job is just like,
00:07:03.240 how are they complaining about the job when they still have the job?
00:07:10.920 I need a change.
00:07:15.380 Like, aren't they afraid their employer is going to see this? Like, don't you want to quit on your
00:07:21.920 terms? Holy guacamole. Being a teacher with anxiety is one of the worst things ever because I woke up
00:07:29.780 and my anxiety was through the roof for no apparent reason. And I can't just call out of work for that.
00:07:35.160 So I had to go in and luckily I have a co-teacher who kind of helps balance things out. But I was
00:07:41.580 basically at the point of like, I need to lock myself into a room. I can't even like talk to adults
00:07:46.200 and just work in silence. And you can't do that as an elementary school teacher or any teacher.
00:07:50.960 And it's a Friday at the end of the school year. So the kids are wild. And every five seconds I was
00:07:57.020 like, I'm going to cry. I don't know why, but I'm going to cry. And then because my energy is just all
00:08:05.000 over the place, I feel like the kids feed off of that, even though I'm trying to hide it. And at the
00:08:09.400 end of the day, when they left, I couldn't even leave the room. I was like, I just need to stand here
00:08:15.560 for a while. And then I went and sat in my car and couldn't even drive away because I just couldn't
00:08:20.480 get myself together. Then I came home. And the only reason why I came right inside was because I had to
00:08:25.860 use the bathroom. Otherwise I would have sat in my car before even coming into my house. Like if I
00:08:30.340 worked in the kind of job where you could work from home, I would have worked from home, no problem.
00:08:34.760 And still been able to do my work, but just like not been around the overstimulation that just
00:08:41.720 like escalates the anxiety. And even though it's the end of the school year and I have days left to
00:08:46.780 use, I hate using them for something like this. I don't know how you survive. I really don't know
00:08:53.480 how you get through it. I'd like to contrast really quick day in the life on a oil rig, just to show
00:09:06.520 what the men are not complaining about. So this is a offshore oil drilling platform and go, but there
00:09:14.120 is an iron video like going. The oil and gas industry has become one of them.
00:09:23.480 Positions mentioned one of the most critical. Let me see. We're going to find one of it like going.
00:09:28.220 Okay, here we go.
00:09:47.720 Yeah. So these guys don't complain. You see this
00:09:51.020 truly teaching is one of the most agonizing professions that requires you to basically sign
00:10:19.480 over your mind, body, and soul to a sea witch. But there's a reason that we do. And some of you,
00:10:25.780 I think are waiting for the phrase, remember your why. And no, I am not going to use that manipulative
00:10:33.020 phrase on you. But my heart today is meant to show you that you are, were, could be, want to be a
00:10:40.880 teacher for a reason. And it's okay to hate it. It's okay to have bad days, months.
00:10:46.500 Can you imagine? You're like, see you miss, whatever. See you miss Johnson. I'll see you tomorrow. And then you just see
00:10:54.620 this on TikTok. It's okay to have bad days, months, years. It's okay to complain. It's okay to throw a
00:11:02.920 tantrum out of frustration because your job sucks. And it sucks the living everything out of you. 1.00
00:11:09.600 It's also okay to feel the good, to be proud of yourself for making a copy that day, connecting
00:11:16.980 with one student or with all of them. It's okay to let the good in every now and again.
00:11:22.900 Yeah. See again, women have no idea. We have no idea how good we have it, 1.00
00:11:28.620 but let me know in the comments, what is the worst job you have ever worked and the best job you've
00:11:34.400 ever worked? Have you ever been a teacher? Is it as bad as they say? Let me know in the comments and
00:11:38.560 we will pin the best one. Like the video on your way out, subscribe to the channel and I'll see you next
