"You see this theme a lot on /r/teachers where kids don't even try to express any locus of control, freedom or agency these days. They just shuttle themselves back and forth from where they're told to be without meaningfully engaging in anything. The person is there but the lights are off and nobody "

"I know 'kids these days' is a sentiment as old as time, but man things do not sound good according to that sub. Kids socially way below where they should be with zero resiliency or ability to problem solve the second things get tough."
"Over recent years Naruto running (arms stretched behind you) has become entirely normalised. At sports day this year multiple children did this in front of parents and the entire school. When I teach PE I have to tell kids it's regarded and slowing them down."
"There are just a bunch of posts about about how much more trouble teachers are having getting students to focus, social skills, etc. Idk its been depressing for me to read"
"Take a quick browse of r/teachers and you will see the same themes over and over and over again, even at more wealthy public schools. I don't see how there won't be a massive teacher shortage."
"Holy fuck this is bleak. Shit wasn't the best when I was in high school but kids nowadays seem more like wild animals. This is some Mad Max shit."
"I thought I was too good for teaching, but that is the only thing I'm qualified for. Laughing at r/teachers every day was just a HUGE cope for me delaying the inevitable."
"Number 1 would have to be r/ teachers. A teacher will ask for advice about an 8 year old who keeps calling them a poopy head and the advice will be to contact the police then file suit against the child for sexual harassment."
"so I have been lurking on various teacher forums from r/Teachers to r/AustralianTeachers and and even r/Internationalteachers and one thing I have noticed is the fact that boys are falling behind very early on. and most of the well behaved and top students are girls"
"I used to hate stalk r/Teachers but now I'm just concerned. You'd think with all these technological advancements we'd be able to raise genius kids by now. But apparently a lot of them can't even read or know shapes."
