Summary

What has happened to our kids? Just smile and nod, y'all. We had field day yesterday, so I normally don't see the skills of the 4th and 5th graders. But yesterday was very eye opening to see what kind of skills our older kids are lacking.

00:00:00.000 Hello folks, I am the Shane Lisberg. I hope you're doing well today.
00:00:03.400 Today I have a Reddit story from r slash teachers.
00:00:07.780 So here on X, at the Maga Hulk shares,
00:00:11.740 there's an enormous threat on Reddit of teachers complaining about their immigrant and black students being low-functioning and destructive.
00:00:18.280 Fifth graders who can't throw balls.
00:00:20.120 Middle schoolers who can't hold pencils.
00:00:22.140 Tenth graders who can't tie shoes.
00:00:24.400 Students constantly breaking their laptops and being intentionally destructive.
00:00:27.740 Insane, this thread hasn't been removed yet.
00:00:31.300 So let's get into the thread.
00:00:32.880 It says, what has happened to our kids?
00:00:34.420 Just smile and nod, y'all.
00:00:35.920 We had field day yesterday.
00:00:37.440 I'm always with kindergarten, so I normally don't see the skills of the fourth or fifth graders.
00:00:41.640 Yesterday was very eye-opening to see what kind of skills our older kids are lacking.
00:00:46.080 I should note that R here was spelled A-R-E instead of O-U-R.
00:00:50.500 This is the teacher, by the way.
00:00:51.780 We had a dunk tank and the amount of fourth and fifth graders who could not throw a ball at a target was shocking.
00:00:58.420 Are you saying they can't aim?
00:01:01.740 I was telling my 20-year-old daughter this, and she was saying that because she used to play softball, she's still on the email list.
00:01:07.540 And she's noticed over the past few years an uptick in emails.
00:01:10.860 In uptick, so she put I-N and it's supposed to be A-N.
00:01:14.520 An uptick.
00:01:16.060 Remember, this is a teacher, folks.
00:01:17.340 In emails saying the lack of softball and baseball players is making the program at risk of having to close.
00:01:23.920 Having a ball in their hands trying to throw it was like having this newly invented, no one knows how to use it object placed in their hands.
00:01:30.800 Like, you know, the ones with the tribes and their poking sticks at things?
00:01:38.440 She goes on.
00:01:39.360 I would say a good 90% of these kids couldn't get the ball to go past the foot when thrown.
00:01:43.640 I can't even say they threw a ball.
00:01:45.620 They just sort of pushed it downwards.
00:01:47.040 Here we have.
00:01:52.000 Every year, I have to review how to hold a pencil.
00:01:54.420 Many students just make a fist around their pencil and use their whole arm to scroll.
00:02:01.080 I teach middle school, she says.
00:02:02.900 A commenter says, do they break the pencil as soon as you give it to them?
00:02:05.900 Do you have to give one to them because they never have their own?
00:02:08.560 And if by chance they did, they probably destroyed it.
00:02:11.120 They are so destructive.
00:02:12.240 It makes my head want to explode.
00:02:13.780 The wanton destruction of class supplies, breaking pencil after pencil, cutting glue sticks, tearing up the class tissue box, drives me up the wall.
00:02:23.880 This year's class of kindergartners does this more than any group ever.
00:02:27.200 It's infuriating and I spent all year trying to fix it and failed.
00:02:32.320 One kid will look me in the eyes and eat my crayons.
00:02:35.800 And eat my crayons.
00:02:37.880 It's insane, she said.
00:02:39.960 Oh my god.
00:02:41.700 Here we go.
00:02:42.520 My Chromebook just broke.
00:02:44.600 No bro, it didn't just break.
00:02:46.180 You broke it.
00:02:47.020 When you punched out the screen because you got second place in his stupid quizzes.
00:02:52.080 God damn.
00:02:53.120 A comment.
00:02:53.980 This is all the time.
00:02:55.080 The amount of kids needing laptop repairs is insane.
00:02:57.920 I can't imagine ever breaking one of my computers on purpose.
00:03:00.960 Another reply here.
00:03:01.960 I never damaged my stuff on purpose because I knew there would be consequences.
00:03:07.460 Choices, consequences.
00:03:08.820 Namely, I wouldn't have that thing anymore.
00:03:12.000 But also, I'd have to do with my parents.
00:03:14.160 Ha ha ha.
00:03:14.780 Parents.
00:03:15.480 Ha ha ha.
00:03:16.340 I noticed you used a plural there.
00:03:18.100 Ha ha ha.
00:03:20.040 They didn't hit me or anything like that, really.
00:03:22.660 I mean, I got belted, but I just knew better than to break shit on purpose.
00:03:26.380 Because you're not impulsive and prone to violent outbursts, maybe?
00:03:32.560 There's such a lack of emotional control in these kids, which I don't understand.
00:03:36.840 I understand.
00:03:37.920 You'll understand soon enough, I guess.
00:03:39.760 Hopefully.
00:03:40.660 Our generation, I'm assuming we're similar because of the 86 in your name, didn't get
00:03:44.660 nearly the amount of SEL stuff.
00:03:46.820 And we knew respect better than these kids today.
00:03:49.920 Here we have another comment.
00:03:50.860 I teach mainly on the pre-AP slash AP tract now, and I'm not saying they're perfect by
00:03:56.740 any means, but when I taught more of the remedial and standard classes, my room looked
00:04:02.300 like a bomb went off most days.
00:04:04.320 Trash everywhere.
00:04:05.460 Even when I specifically barred them from eating food or drinks, they just couldn't
00:04:08.720 help destroying their pens and pencils or ripping pieces of paper and leaving them
00:04:12.700 all over the desks and floor.
00:04:15.260 Garbage literally materialized.
00:04:17.380 Ha ha ha.
00:04:18.020 The garments literally materialized out of their pockets and backpacks.
00:04:22.000 Ha ha ha.
00:04:22.980 They never thought twice about it.
00:04:24.860 They just absentmindedly sit there and fidget with a table in front of them and peel off
00:04:29.300 the little rubber border on the edges of it.
00:04:31.500 Ha ha.
00:04:32.860 I'm not sure why they do it, but it is absolutely noticeable with certain groups of students.
00:04:37.820 And every teacher in my school experiences it.
00:04:40.540 You hear that?
00:04:41.180 Certain groups.
00:04:42.220 Parents never taught them to keep their hands to themselves.
00:04:44.960 Or that you don't leave a room worse than you found it.
00:04:49.640 Okay.
00:04:50.600 Oh my god.
00:04:51.760 Well, so there you have it.
00:04:53.000 Just more.
00:04:53.720 More nonsense from the usual suspects.
00:04:56.360 You guys.
00:05:01.580 So, you know, certain groups of people.
00:05:04.200 I bet you know which ones.
00:05:05.580 Well, I just wanted to share that with you.
00:05:07.300 I hope that you folks have a fine day.
00:05:09.460 And I thank you for lending me your ear.
00:05:11.380 Great.
00:05:11.740 Great.
00:05:12.160 Great.
00:05:12.400 And I thank you for having a fun day.
00:05:14.520 Great.
00:05:14.700 Thank you.
00:05:14.860 Thank you.
00:05:16.100 Thank you.
00:05:17.100 Thank you.
00:05:36.280 Thank you.
