La “crisi” del benessere del personale costringe gli insegnanti a lasciare le scuole, dice l’organizzazione benefica

A moderate, if not large, proportion of schools have become nothing more than holding pens for children and teenagers who don’t give a shit about learning or discipline, because their parents who don’t give a shit about learning and discipline at home instill those values.

We live in times now where children enter reception not knowing how to self toilet themselves, where kids are unable to concentrate because the skill to tough it through “boredom” or to self entertain has been robbed from them by parents who slap a screen in front of them. 

As someone who works in education, it is so obvious which children are just given what they want and are just palmed off with screens and which ones have interactions and boundaries with their parents in physical space.

All these attitudes will (or have) come to a climax, where the “what are you going to do about it, teacher”  attitude will end up with a severe collapse in standards. I’m seeing it now, where a lot of teachers have gone to private tutoring because it pays more, is more flexible and the child isn’t going to be a shit because the parents are actively paying you to be there.

The sooner this attitude gets broken across the board, the better. Unfortunately, I don’t think it ever will, as this “don’t care, won’t care,” attitude has become too prevalent.
