| Hello folks, I am the shameless Berg. | |
| I hope you're doing well today. | |
| Today I have a Reddit story from R slash teachers. | |
| So here on X at the MAGA Hulk shares, there's an enormous thread on Reddit of teachers complaining about their immigrant and black students being low functioning and destructive. | |
| Fifth graders who can't throw balls, middle schoolers who can't hold pencils, tenth graders who can't tie shoes. | |
| Students constantly breaking their laptops and being intentionally destructive. | |
| And saying this thread hasn't been removed yet. | |
| So let's get into the thread. | |
| It says, what has happened to our kids? | |
| Just smile and nod, y'all. | |
| We had field day yesterday. | |
| I'm always with kindergarten, so I normally don't see the skills of the fourth or fifth graders. | |
| Yesterday was very eye-opening to see what kind of skills our older kids are lacking. | |
| I should note that R here was spelled A-R-E instead of O-U-R. | |
| This is the teacher, by the way. | |
| We had a dunk tank, and the amount of fourth and fifth graders who could not throw a ball at a target was shocking. | |
| Are you saying they can't aim? | |
| I was telling my 20-year-old daughter this, and she was saying that because she used to play softball, she's still on the email list, and she's noticed over the past few years and uptick in emails. | |
| In uptick, so she put I-N, and it's supposed to be A-N and uptick. | |
| Remember, this is a teacher, folks. | |
| In emails saying the lack of softball in baseball players is making the program at risk of having to close. | |
| Having a ball in their hands trying to throw it was like having this newly invented, no one knows how to use it, object to place in their hands. | |
| Like, you know, the ones with the trags and they're poking sticks at things. | |
| She goes on, I would say a good 90% of these kids couldn't get the ball to go past a foot when thrown. | |
| I can't even say they threw a ball. | |
| They just sort of pushed it downwards. | |
| Ah, here we have, every year I have to review how to hold a pencil. | |
| Many students just make a fist around their pencil and use their whole arm to scroll. | |
| I teach middle school, she says. | |
| A commenter says, do they break the pencil as soon as you give it to them? | |
| Do you have to give one to them because they never have their own? | |
| And if by chance they did, they probably destroyed it. | |
| They are so destructive. | |
| It makes my head want to explode. | |
| The wanton destruction of class supplies, breaking pencil after pencil, cutting glue sticks, tearing up the class tissue box, drives me up the wall. | |
| This year's class of kindergartners does this more than any group ever. | |
| It's infuriating, and I spend all year trying to fix it and failed. | |
| One kid will look me in the eyes and eat my crayons and eat my crayons. | |
| It's insane, she says. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| Here we go. | |
| My Chromebook just broke. | |
| No, bro, it didn't just break. | |
| You broke it when you punched out the screen because you got second place in a stupid quizzes. | |
| God damn. | |
| A comment. | |
| This is all the time. | |
| The amount of kids needing laptop repairs is insane. | |
| I can't imagine ever breaking one of my computers on purpose. | |
| Another reply here. | |
| I never damaged myself on purpose because I knew there would be consequences. | |
| Choices, consequences. | |
| Namely, I wouldn't have that thing anymore, but also I'd have to deal with my parents. | |
| Parents. | |
| I noticed you used a plural there. | |
| They didn't hit me or anything like that, really. | |
| I mean, I got belted, but I just knew better than to break shit on purpose. | |
| Because you're not impulsive and prone to violent outbursts, maybe. | |
| There's such a lack of emotional control in these kids, which I don't understand. | |
| I understand. | |
| You'll understand soon enough, I guess, hopefully. | |
| Our generation, I'm assuming we're similar because of the 86 in your name, didn't get nearly the amount of SEL stuff. | |
| And we knew respect better than these kids today. | |
| Here we have another comment. | |
| I teach mainly on the pre-AP slash AP tract now, and I'm not saying they're perfect by any means, but when I taught more of the remedial and standard classes, my room looked like a bomb went off most days. | |
| Trash everywhere. | |
| Even when I specifically barred them from eating food or drinks, they just couldn't help destroying their pens and pencils or ripping pieces of paper and leaving them all over the desks and floor. | |
| Garbage literally materialized. | |
| Garbage literally materialized out of their pockets and backpacks. | |
| They never thought twice about it. | |
| They just absent-mindedly sit there and fidget with the table in front of them and peel off the little rubber Border on the edges of it. | |
| I'm not sure why they do it, but it is absolutely noticeable with certain groups of students. | |
| And every teacher in my school experiences it. | |
| You hear that? | |
| Certain groups. | |
| Parents never taught them to keep their hands to themselves or that you don't leave a room worse than you found it. | |
| Okay. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| Well, so there you have it. | |
| Just more. | |
| More nonsense from the usual suspects. | |
| You guys. | |
| So, you know, certain groups of people. | |
| I bet you know which ones. | |
| Well, I just wanted to share that with you. | |
| I hope that you folks have a fine day. |
