Teachers Are SICK Of Dumb Gen Alpha Kids..

I used to be annoyed on how involved my parents are, but after this I'm WAY more grateful.

I teach in Asia, and this is largely not an issue. This is societal, not generational.

I'm a school janitor who works at a small elementary, and it's insane what I see on a daily basis. You can't punish these kids--we removed the detention room, you can't tell them what to do--"we might offend them", you can't even SLIGHTLY raise your voice without the threat of parents getting involved. These kids are allowed to destroy classrooms and act like animals, and the school system cares more about "making sure nobody is offended." Let's see how well these policies turn out in 15 years when these kids are nearing adulthood with no sense of right or wrong and no concept of punishment

Telling a teacher to "shut up" would have been a fast track to the headmaster's office back when I was at school in the mid 90's.

Before it was " I don't need to learn math because I have a calculator" now it is " I don't need any skills on life because I can't get in trouble"

The fact the kindergarteners are acting worse than the crazy kids at the high school I go to is insane. We need parents to start raising their kids better before the human race goes extinct.

I’m gen-z (17 turning 18 next year) I can promise everyone here, it’s all about parenting. I’ve seen first hand with myself that a single parent who cares a lot and knows what they are doing can raise a good person. These children just have shitty parents that don’t give a damn about their kids so they shove an iPad in their face and ignore them until they need to be fed.

Anyone remember the words “dumb” and “stupid” use to be the bad words that little kids would be scared to say it.. now they just don’t care, we have little kids who are now saying the f word or anything else that you wouldn’t expect from a little kid..

People should know that discipline and being mildly strict with your child DOES NOT equal to abuse

My son is gen alpha, I tried all sorts of punishments they didn't work. Finally screen deprivation is the only thing that worked. His punishment from now on is no phone no video game no tv no internet and that worked much better than yelling or spanking

I was a teacher for over 5 years and I got out. It's crazy the amount of restrictions we have. We aren't allowed to teach anymore. We're just babysitters to a lot of these parents. To anyone still teaching, you have my utmost respect. The state of education in the US is sad.

Can't wait for Pegasus to talk about how dumb Gen Beta is in about 8 years from now.

My brother saw me watching your video on Jack Doherty a couple of days ago - little did I know he started complaining at people like you for "making fun of him [Jack]" despite me analysing the viral video of Jack harassing the adult with children in front of him. My brother is in Gen Alpha, and he's on the older side of the generation. I don't want to see the reality of a kid born this year or next year...

I was a single mom of twins who had to work. I still made time for my kids but made sure they were also self-sufficient. They still don't disrespect their elders at 40 and their kids don't either. It's called raising your kids with discipline and love. My son was getting low grades in reading comprehension in grade school so I sat down with him to figure out the problem. He was skipping most of the smaller words to get through the story faster. I got some big index cards and made him read line by line using the card to keep him from skipping ahead. By his next progress report his grade had gone up significantly.

For Elementary School: Let them fail the grade. Passing means you PASSED the subjects and CAN MOVE ON. If you pass them, that means they are CAPABLE. If a Parent complains, then the Parent needs to bring their Child to a Doctor to double check if the Child has some Learning Disabilities, which can be Hereditary. The Parent is the FIRST TEACHER of Social Dynamics, Respect, and General Behaviour. If they have no Learning Disability other than CHOOSING not to Pay Attention, it is a TAUGHT HABIT BY the Parent or someone close in the Home. End of Story.

My nephew is 10 and has to be homeschooled because the kids were so mean to him. They stomped on his new Nikes to mess them up. When he complained to the teacher, she told him to ask them nicely to stop stomping on his shoes. What! That was the final straw for my sister because a lot of other incidents happened prior. The other kids ran wild and ran the classroom.

My dad was a janitor at a high school and he was disgusted at the disrespectfulness and lack of authority.

I’m so fascinated by this bc I was a lifeguard over the summer and I didn’t realize how bad this problem actually was. Millennial parents don’t like it when we say anything to them. “Oh hey your daughters lifejacket is a little loose you might want to make it more snug so she can swim easier” and they just glare at me. They also get mad at me when i tell their kids to stop running on the wet pool deck… Some girl told me she was 10. She kept hanging out with me so I kept asking questions like “so what year were you born?” “I don’t know” my bathing suit says “guard” and she was asking me what it said and after staring at it for a few seconds she asked me “does it say… guard?” I was in shock bc when I was 10 I was reading chapter books. I’m genuinely so curious as to what they’re going to grow up like. I have a few predictions: 1. When these kids grow up, a lot of them will go to jail. 2. I hate saying this especially because I struggled with this, but I can see a lot of people ending their lives. Adulthood and the real world is going to hit them like a truck. They aren’t able to read so they can’t exactly get an education, they don’t know how to follow rules, they don’t have a sense of authority, they don’t know what the word no means. It’s a recipe for disaster. These parents think we’re all trying to be assholes and that we hate their kids. No. We’re seeing a new form of neglect and its preventing them from living a happy successful life. It’s 100x easier to fix this NOW when their brains are still sponges, rather than when they’re like 20. I don’t understand why millennials are so defensive in their awful parenting. What are they going to say when their 15 year old was arrested with a DUI? Or from destroying private property? It’s going to be the cops fault right? I’m really curious as to what they’re going to be like as teens. We’re already starting to see a bit of it with the older side of this generation. Sephora employees are exhausted because these kids are destroying stores and have no parent to supervise them. Everywhere these kids go, they are stressing out the adults involved bc they are liable. Go to school, they stress their teachers out. The teachers don’t even punish them bc they’re worried about the parents. Go to the pool, us lifeguards and our supervisors and managers can’t stand (a lot, not all) of these kids. Now its Sephora employees that have to deal with these little gremlins. Go ahead millennials, go ahead and try to defend your lazy parenting in my replies i cannot wait to read these. I have never heard a group of people so defensive and “I’m right” and angry from any criticism, yet be so wrong. Y’all need to start actually #adulting you had unprotected sex now you have a kid. You’re no longer able to do whatever you want. There are sacrifices parents have to make to give their child the proper care and attention. Bringing your toddler to a brewery is not it.

I have massive respect for the first teacher. Calling out the young vs old debate. Realest shit of all time.

I'm a highschooler and a Gen Z and let me tell you ... people scare me. On my first day of school, we had a girl who was Egyptian. And one of the first things someone said was like , "Oh okay where is that?" The stress I felt from that response skyrocketed through the roof. Like do you not know basic geography? So yeah we're kind of doomed.
