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. Here we have a teacher who teaches middle school, and she noticed that her students can't even throw a ball.

00:00:00.000 Hello folks, I am TheShamelessBerg. I hope you're doing well today.
00:00:03.360 Today I have a Reddit story from r slash teachers.
00:00:07.740 So here on X, at the MAGAHulk shares, 0.82
00:00:11.720 There's an enormous threat on Reddit of teachers complaining about their immigrant and black students being low-functioning and destructive. 0.99
00:00:18.220 Fifth graders who can't throw balls. 0.99
00:00:20.060 Middle schoolers who can't hold pencils.
00:00:22.100 Tenth graders who can't tie shoes.
00:00:24.280 Students constantly breaking their laptops and being intentionally destructive.
00:00:27.680 Insane, this thread hasn't been removed yet.
00:00:31.260 So let's get into the thread.
00:00:32.840 It says,
00:00:33.100 What has happened to our kids? Just smile and nod, y'all.
00:00:35.880 We had field day yesterday.
00:00:37.400 I'm always with kindergarten, so I normally don't see the skills of the fourth or fifth graders.
00:00:41.600 Yesterday was very eye-opening to see what kind of skills our older kids are lacking.
00:00:46.040 I should note that R here was spelled A-R-E instead of O-U-R.
00:00:50.460 This is the teacher, by the way.
00:00:51.720 We had a dunk tank, and the amount of fourth and fifth graders who could not throw a ball at a target was shocking.
00:00:57.680 Are you saying they can't aim?
00:01:01.720 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.
00:01:07.480 And she's noticed over the past few years an uptick in emails.
00:01:10.820 In uptick, so she put I-N, and it's supposed to be A-N.
00:01:14.480 An uptick.
00:01:16.000 Remember, this is a teacher, folks.
00:01:17.300 In emails saying the lack of softball in baseball players is making the program at risk of having to close.
00:01:23.880 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.
00:01:31.740 Like, you know the ones with the tribes and their poking sticks at things? 0.98
00:01:34.800 She goes on,
00:01:39.260 I would say a good 90% of these kids couldn't get the ball to go past a foot when thrown.
00:01:43.700 I can't even say they threw a ball.
00:01:45.580 They just sort of pushed it downwards.
00:01:51.080 Here we have,
00:01:51.960 Every year I have to review how to hold a pencil.
00:01:54.380 Many students just make a fist around their pencil and use their whole arm to scrawl.
00:02:00.160 I teach middle school, she says.
00:02:02.860 A commenter says,
00:02:03.760 Do they break the pencil as soon as you give it to them?
00:02:05.860 Do you have to give one to them because they never have their own?
00:02:08.640 And if by chance they did, they probably destroyed it.
00:02:11.060 They are so destructive.
00:02:12.160 It makes my head want to explode.
00:02:14.900 The wanton destruction of class supplies.
00:02:17.400 Breaking pencil after pencil.
00:02:19.420 Cutting glue sticks.
00:02:20.460 Tearing up the class tissue box.
00:02:22.440 Drives me up the wall.
00:02:23.580 This year's class of kindergartners does this more than any group ever.
00:02:27.020 It's infuriating and I spent all year trying to fix it and failed.
00:02:32.300 One kid will look me in the eyes and eat my crayons.
00:02:35.740 And eat my crayons.
00:02:37.860 It's insane, she said.
00:02:39.940 Oh my god.
00:02:41.680 Here we go.
00:02:43.000 My Chromebook just broke.
00:02:44.520 No bro, it didn't just break.
00:02:46.140 You broke it. 1.00
00:02:46.960 When you punched out the screen because you got second place in his stupid quizzes. 1.00
00:02:52.380 Goddamn. 1.00
00:02:53.020 A comment. 1.00
00:02:53.880 This is all the time.
00:02:54.860 The amount of kids needing laptop repairs is insane.
00:02:57.880 I can't imagine ever breaking one of my computers on purpose.
00:03:00.920 Another reply here.
00:03:01.920 I never damaged my stuff on purpose because I knew there would be consequences.
00:03:07.440 Choices, consequences.
00:03:09.800 Namely, I wouldn't have that thing anymore.
00:03:11.920 But also I'd have to do with my parents.
00:03:14.140 Ha ha ha.
00:03:14.760 Parents.
00:03:15.420 Ha ha ha.
00:03:16.280 I noticed you used a plural there.
00:03:18.700 Ha ha.
00:03:19.540 They didn't hit me or anything like that, really. 0.98
00:03:22.620 I mean, I got belted, but I just knew better than to break shit on purpose. 0.96
00:03:27.420 Because you're not impulsive. 0.98
00:03:29.240 And, uh, prone to violent outbursts, maybe?
00:03:32.360 There's such a lack of emotional control in these kids, which I don't understand.
00:03:36.800 I understand.
00:03:37.860 You'll understand soon enough, I guess.
00:03:39.720 Hopefully.
00:03:40.500 Our generation, I'm assuming we're similar because of the 86 in your name, didn't get
00:03:44.620 nearly the amount of SEL stuff.
00:03:46.600 And we knew respect better than these kids today.
00:03:49.880 Here we have another comment.
00:03:50.940 I teach mainly on the pre-AP slash AP tract now, and I'm not saying they're perfect by
00:03:56.680 any means, but when I taught more of the remedial and standard class classes, my room looked
00:04:02.260 like a bomb went off most days.
00:04:04.260 Trash everywhere.
00:04:05.400 Even when I specifically barred them from eating food or drinks, they just couldn't 0.67
00:04:08.680 help destroying their pens and pencils or ripping pieces of paper and leaving them
00:04:12.660 all over the desks and floor. 0.86
00:04:15.240 Garbage literally materialized. 0.99
00:04:17.360 Ha ha ha. 0.99
00:04:17.960 Garbage literally materialized out of their pockets and backpacks. 0.99
00:04:21.940 Ha ha ha.
00:04:22.940 They never thought twice about it.
00:04:24.800 They just absentmindedly sit there and fidget with a table in front of them and peel off
00:04:29.260 a little rubber border on the edges of it.
00:04:31.460 Ha ha.
00:04:32.820 I'm not sure why they do it, but it is absolutely noticeable with certain groups of students.
00:04:37.760 And every teacher in my school experiences it.
00:04:40.500 You hear that?
00:04:41.120 Certain groups.
00:04:42.160 Parents never taught them to keep their hands to themselves.
00:04:44.920 Or that you don't leave a room worse than you found it.
00:04:49.580 Okay.
00:04:50.560 Oh my god.
00:04:51.720 Well, so there you have it.
00:04:52.960 Just more. 0.90
00:04:53.680 More nonsense from the usual suspects. 0.88
00:04:57.440 Ha ha. 0.89
00:05:00.080 You guys.
00:05:01.480 So, you know, certain groups of people.
00:05:04.140 I bet you know which ones.
00:05:05.520 Well, I just wanted to share that with you.
00:05:07.120 I hope that you folks have a fine day and I thank you for lending me your ear.
00:05:11.920 I hope that you folks have a fine day and I thank you for lending me your ear.
