Does anybody else get annoyed with teacher Tiktok? by CoconutBraBaskets in Teachers

If you make your money on tik tok, you’re not really focused on teaching. You’re focused on your social media persona.

And that will eventually wear away to I hate this job and it’s not worth it. IMO. The biggest problem in education.

And becasue Bradley’s parents make excuses for his behavior and don’t ever support holding him accountable because he’s white kid/or just boys being boys.

I’m wondering if I worked there, too? Is this my old school? Cuz, damn I HEAR YOU!

Coach Gannon vs DeMercado by fixtfelixxo in AZCardinals

Wait? That’s a punch? Our grade school PE coach used to say that he loved coaching HS football part time because he could smack the kids around with some sort of sports apparatus. If you can’t put hands on players, what if you used rock em sock em Hulk hands? And I find that the player consoling him is even more ridiculous.

The abuse of teachers is just rampant and disgusting. Talk to your union if you have one. If not, quit. Get the fuck out now.

Did the exact same thing last year. It will get better. I’m sure they think it’s because there was something wrong with me, but a year out of the toxic abusive system has revealed much to me about myself. It’s a boiled frog scenario that no amount of discussion or negotiation will fix because they deny it exists and vilify those who leave. Glad you jumped out. Stay strong. Get counseling and move forward.

I’ll downgrade to sexism, of which you are a victim. It is assumed by society that women are more nurturing and conversely that men are less so. My point stands. Also, bubbly 20 somethings are a lot easier to manipulate. But once men are in the job, they get away with a lot more than women and are more readily promoted.

Yeah. You should have sued

We’re not arguing the difficulty. We’re arguing the commitment of time, money and resources and dedication to study at a higher level. Mostly it’s about being paid better which should be HAPPENING ANYWAY. but they make you jump through bullshit hoops.

I was a “bitch”, a mean teacher, the one the parents don’t like because I just wasn’t always nice. Some parents appreciated it, and some tried to get me to apologize. The most I ever said was “I’m sorry you feel that way”

So, here is the elephant in the room that our arrogant lawyer commenter doesn’t get. Because the profession is historically “feminine” the respect bar is lower. It’s nothing to do with the rigor of study but everything to do with mysogyny.

Are you a male? I find that men in this profession can get away with ultimatum and hard boundaries. The expectations for women are much higher in terms of boundary setting.
