It should be easier than it is. In the sense that teachers should be respected. And parents shouldn't be needing to keep their children from DEI. Today it seems pretty hard to me but not in a good way.
...they cannot teach and parent and nurture and raise (essentially). They are completely doomed to fail, but because they are mostly women we have to hear about how brave and stunning they are.
But someone has to help those kids. And they are good kids, I promise you. Fucked up from bad parents and years of abuse, neglect, and trauma, but still good under it all.
Working in this field has renewed my hope, not destroyed it. The boys can be saved... they just need the right people and the right plan around them.
And we need to make a concerted effort not to let this shit happen again. Stop celebrating single parents and start shaming them.
Precisely. Am teacher. Would love to be able to teach but instead I’m having to essentially babysit a bunch of kids who resent me for making them not be on their phones and actually reading something.
You aren't wrong. Teaching is a very easy job to coast through, hence the large number of women in the field.
I work in placement with "bad" kids -- there is no DEI in the trenches of broken families, so I am actually able to affect some positive change.

Well, teachers should just have to... teach.

Unfortunately you're sort of at the dumping end of a tragic culture.
Indeed.
