Pearl - Teachers Acting Like They're Veterans of Iraq - GET BACK TO DRAWING WITH CRAYONS

00:00:00.000 the state has made it impossible to fail children why yeah again when you take away consequences

00:00:06.240 people don't do work i mean it's so simple what up guys welcome to my reaction series as i've said

00:00:12.320 before women have a tendency to take easy jobs where men have a tendency to take hard jobs men

00:00:17.680 will take the hard jobs they won't complain women will take the easy jobs and they will complain 1.00

00:00:22.240 um so today we're reacting to women talking about how bad teaching is now they say teaching is awful 0.52

00:00:28.960 now. So let's see what the women have to say. This comes off of a video where someone's talking 1.00

00:00:35.720 about how kids are not able to read. And you state between no child left behind, the inclusion

00:00:41.220 classes, general parenting and non-parenting, it is made teaching impossible. Please tell me how

00:00:46.980 you ought to reach every child in a class when you have five different reading levels. I'm a retired

00:00:51.900 middle school teacher, eighth grade. And let me tell you something, this is so true. I could have

00:00:55.660 kids who are on a third grade fourth grade fifth grade reading level yet the curriculum i have is

00:01:01.460 at an eighth grade level so it's my job as a teacher to try to differentiate that instruction

00:01:06.520 for them why a lot of kids need to be held back in school i don't even think it should be by age

00:01:12.640 i think it should be by how fast you can learn the material while at the same time having the

00:01:19.240 expectation when they take the state test that they can still take the test which is at an

00:01:25.260 eighth grade level to pass that test all of these things are very true very true the system needs

00:01:33.120 an overall overall you need smaller class sizes you need I think we just need to switch out women 1.00

00:01:40.520 and put in men I think it would solve a lot of problems forces you need to have a lot more than 0.94

00:01:46.300 one teacher in a classroom teaching these kids but those things aren't going to happen because

00:01:51.220 those things require money what are the average class sides because um average my average when

00:01:57.060 i was in pre-k to eighth i had 30 kids in my class i think up to 32 and it was fine in america um

00:02:06.420 pre-k through eight and high school let's see and in high school i think the class sizes might have

00:02:14.100 even been smaller for me like 20 um pre-k 15 to 7. okay i don't think 30 kids is that bad

00:02:21.540 i mean that's that's like what i grew up with and that was fine i mean i can read my multiplication

00:02:27.540 tables are kind of shaky to be maybe maybe i should have had a bigger class i don't know oh wait

00:02:33.220 whoops what the system is doing and trying to have teachers do is unrealistic and that's i think it's

00:02:40.020 probably realistic i think they she's just not good get good you know one reason why some of

00:02:46.740 these kids can't read this comes off of a video where someone's talking about yeah um i don't

00:02:52.900 know 27 seems fine all right let's see 25 at any grade level has to be damn near impossible teachers

00:03:01.220 how are you teaching here in 2025 whether that's elementary school middle school or even yes high

00:03:08.020 school in the ai era in the parents not willing to be parents at home era in the era where kids

00:03:19.140 are suffering say in fourth grade even with spelling with writing with daily life essential

00:03:28.260 skills how are you teachers doing it honestly y'all have the toughest job in the world right now

00:03:38.020 i don't know how these teachers how y'all are getting up every day to do this when you are the

00:03:45.660 ones that care yet the kids do not seem to care yeah the problem is again all these mother it's 0.91

00:03:51.640 kind of cooked because all these moms are raising the kids there's no discipline at home so like 1.00

00:03:56.520 how do you have a kid like when you have a bad kid there's just not much you can do

00:03:59.880 as a teacher i mean you see them during the day but they go home at night

00:04:03.880 they're in daycare they have like all these different caretakers i mean it's a lot for a kid

00:04:08.640 they are lacking basic skills of life across the board reading writing math

00:04:16.380 i i just don't know i have a son who is in fourth grade he is 10 years old our biggest struggle with

00:04:24.720 him has been spelling and his handwriting i don't know what to say i don't know what the answer is

00:04:32.680 but teaching in 2025 is no joke it is not for the week and all teachers out there elementary middle

00:04:39.880 and high school i want to hear from you how are you doing it and can you keep doing it yeah i mean

00:04:46.760 this is kind of simpy our school went along 90 analog and phones are only between classes that

00:04:51.960 has made all the difference yeah i mean middle school in illinois i have an amazing kids in a

00:04:56.600 district and supportive parents i just hope i get my tenure and can make a career in my district

00:05:01.240 i'm wanting to quit it's horrible dying over you know it's like there's men actually dying

00:05:06.040 at work and we still will say we're dying with the kids and then we say we're nurturing it's like

00:05:11.400 even the people that work with the kids hate kids we need to start leaving children behind

00:05:16.360 people don't understand what it used to feel like he actually makes a good point but sadly

00:05:22.680 it's hard to fail children when you can't give nothing less than a 50. the new zero is now 50.

00:05:31.240 You can come in here every day, not do check.

00:05:35.300 I mean, not do squat and earn a 50.

00:05:40.180 And if I try to fail you, do you know the loads and loads of paperwork

00:05:46.040 and the process I have to take to do it?

00:05:49.080 Let's face it.

00:05:50.240 Free speech is a myth.

00:05:51.900 Large social media companies reserve the right to judge and punish

00:05:55.340 any content creators they see fit without due process or warning.

00:05:59.360 How do I know?

00:05:59.940 because I was demonetized for a year and a half

00:06:02.400 and I had to work my way back from the bottom

00:06:04.400 to where I am today.

00:06:05.500 One thing that my experience taught me

00:06:07.180 is to never rely on one platform for my livelihood again,

00:06:10.460 which is why I created my own website and app,

00:06:12.860 the Audacity Network.

00:06:14.220 Unlike the larger platforms that are bogged down

00:06:16.460 by censorship and changing guidelines,

00:06:18.340 the Audacity Network is an open platform

00:06:20.700 run by me for my supporters.

00:06:22.980 For just $10 a month, you can join a community

00:06:25.020 that can speak their mind and get first access

00:06:27.500 to present and future projects.

00:06:29.200 it's also a place to find my old content as well as to get access to live streams and videos

00:06:34.480 you can only find on my website so go to the audacity network.com to become a member or go

00:06:39.440 to the apple store and google store to download the app today i'll see you there you can literally

00:06:45.280 come in here do like three homework assignments make a 70 on the test and like you will pass

00:06:51.440 it's almost impossible the state has made it impossible to fail children why yeah again when

00:06:58.960 you take away consequences people don't do work i mean it's so simple why it's so simple i don't

00:07:04.400 know it's like ridiculous at this point so we want to fail them but it's you literally can't

00:07:11.120 it's impossible we need to start leaving children yeah i i do think some kids i mean you redo a year

00:07:18.240 it's embarrassing but at least you learn the material all right let's sorry happy tuesday

00:07:24.560 I was going to do a buzzword vocabulary there is a more pressing issue we need to talk about here

00:07:31.780 in the education world give me one second okay I'm back here's the issue at the beginning of

00:07:39.040 the school year I put I had seven caddies and I have seven tables in my classroom in the caddies

00:07:45.500 I put six highlighters four pencils um I put in a stick a pack of sticky notes the reason I only

00:07:53.580 four pencils is because a lot of the kids already had their own pencils so the pencil was just there

00:07:57.020 if they didn't have a pencil they have access to pencils because again a lot of the kids brought

00:08:01.500 their own pencils and they prefer to use their own pencils that's fine with me so for the first few

00:08:06.860 weeks of school everything was going great they checked the caddies we had six highlights we have

00:08:10.220 four pencils in the last few weeks of the school year maybe the last month i have been checking

00:08:15.340 these caddies i have kids that are taking the pencils taking the highlighters these are the

00:08:19.660 highlighters that are they have different colors right taking these highlighters they becoming all

00:08:24.860 probably in a black area 75 percent of black women are single moms so i mean they're gonna 1.00

00:08:32.620 have no discipline at home like even my dog listens better to my dad my brother or my boyfriend 0.98

00:08:38.620 my freaking dog can you like with a kid i mean it's the same reason why panels are very difficult

00:08:45.180 for me to like control because i just i do not have the voice amanda's even though my voice is 0.97

00:08:50.140 kind of deep to be honest i've gotten that i think also talking for two years straight has lowered

00:08:56.460 it by like an octave but yeah different colors and they're taking this piece of the highlighter

00:09:03.660 they're twisting it off and throwing it across the room why i have kids that are taking my pencils

00:09:10.700 these are the pencils that they have mechanical pencils because i get it i like mechanical

00:09:13.900 pencils right over regular pencils these are the pencils that are in their caddies they're taking

00:09:18.620 the erasers out and using them for other things and then putting my pencils back into the caddy

00:09:22.460 without the erasers and taking all the lead out they're breaking my pencil you see this pencil

00:09:26.220 it doesn't work i'm exhausted it is october i'm exhausted i'm genuinely ready to stop teaching

00:09:36.060 because why are y'all not teaching y'all children how to take care of things that are not theirs

00:09:42.620 i don't understand i told my students yesterday i said let me tell you something i'm not giving

00:09:47.540 you anything else i said i gave y'all sticky notes for writing notes and taking notes in your

00:09:52.380 novels i gave y'all pencils i gave y'all high letters and what have y'all done with my stuff

00:09:56.740 destroyed it i'm not giving you anything else i'm exhausted all the things i gave them were

00:10:02.600 things either i bought or was donated by my family and y'all are going to sit here and

00:10:07.520 destroy the things that i'm giving you for your class for work i teach english you need highlighters

00:10:14.480 you need highlighters to highlight in your novels but i'm not giving you any more highlighters 0.97

00:10:18.500 the level of apathy the level of i don't care from these kids is ridiculous gen z kids are 0.97

00:10:26.080 different um it'll be interesting to see what the next two generations are like growing up in like

00:10:32.540 a very social media world you know it's interesting i'm actually i swear i've been impressed with

00:10:38.180 every pretty much every gen z guy i've met they seem to have way more going for them than the

00:10:43.680 girls the girls are pretty unimpressive but they're still you know young people are so willing

00:10:49.300 to learn that i do think they'll figure it out i just think their canon events will be later in

00:10:53.120 life this is my fifth year teaching and every year you know i have certain kids but this year

00:10:58.500 has been the year that has really absolutely solidified my decision to quit teaching.

00:11:03.160 I said after this year, I'm done. I'm going to find something else. It is ridiculous.

00:11:09.880 Hey, y'all, happy one. All right. Yeah, so even the teachers are saying that these kids aren't 0.95

00:11:15.380 being raised right. And the challenge is the mothers, they just have no discipline at home. 1.00

00:11:21.020 So on one hand, I could see the teachers being accurate in describing the rambunctiousness of the children.

00:11:29.720 On the other hand, women always complain. 1.00

00:11:33.120 So it's like, what do we believe anymore?

00:11:35.880 Not women. 1.00

00:11:37.340 Anyways, thanks for watching.

00:11:39.380 Go to theaudacitynetwork.com if you want to support me because God only knows how long I'll be here.

00:11:44.700 I am pretty scared of getting kicked off.
