I assumed most of these communities like in OPs video are mostly occupied by black teachers with the same idea. It’s better than another group because they are less likely to develop a bias against their own and have a higher limit of patience, but what problem does that really solve if it doesn’t effect the child’s behaviors?

Unless you just mean a teacher in any school in general, which would be good

Same

That kid has no idea how lucky he is to have a black male teaching him.

Any school in general, I jumped around from school to school a lot when I was young, and the lack of black teachers was very telling

Good luck. Every black male teacher I've known "did their time" and are no longer teaching.. at least in the inner city or secondary schools.

Even if that happens that’s fine, I don’t need to do anything forever, everything is fleeting

yeah, a latin country, so no ones cares here

Word. The system is designed to make you jaded anyway. It's that way for any helping profession, tbh. Hopefully you can find your ninch and succeed.

The root is almost always the household or the environment

But it’s always people that have only seen s*** like this thru binoculars that will absolve everybody of responsibility

You’d be the only teacher that gets paid enough

This is one of those schools tho

Bruh I was holding tears back watching this. Not for the teacher/TA, but for the kid. They're going through their own personal hell and you can very easily see it.

The adults in this situation did really well. They weren't condescending or disrespectful to the kid, they made sure to make it clear that not everything was about them and tried to bring things back to the board for those in the room who did want to learn without getting pushed around.

I work with plenty kids who don't give a s*** about what we expect them to do and try to be the center of attention. Because we aren't a typical public school, we aren't obligated to keep them around, so typically they don't last very long in the program. But we do try our best with them and it can take weeks to months of attempting different strategies before that point is reached.

The #1 thing I try to do when new kids walk through the door is to make it clear that I respect them and their goals, whatever they may be. I've had ex cons, ex dealers (as young as 16), plenty gang affiliation, but no one in my classroom is judged for where they're at in life and I've never found that I run into issues longterm. The kid usually figures out quickly that I'm looking out for them and we develop an understanding. You can just see in my eyes that I give a s*** about them.

What you saw in that classroom is the effect of the massive chasm between what's happening in a kid's life and the learning they're expected to be a part of. This school probably doesn't have the funds to close that gap with specialized programs, so everyone suffers. Unfortunately, many young teachers have to start out in settings like this and don't make it in the field. My situation is more favorable and, no, I wouldn't want to stay in one this difficult for very long, even though I have the training and temperament for it. This sucks for everyone involved.

Thank you for sending this! i didn't realise it was a special school. I'll look into it and see where I can make amendments to my comment

Nothing, it's just a small shock given your....activities

had a teacher that was like a father figure to me. i grew up with my dad but he never had an education and always owned a business so there were things he just never learned. this teacher put me on to a lot of things about life, personal finance, how to move like an adult thru college, jobs, etc. i hope everyone gets a teacher like him at one point

There’s no Batman without Bruce Wayne

I would teach for 100k

Man what?

???????????????????????

Starts at home

Imagine you explore multiple avenues to try and figure out the best way to deal with the behavioral issues and niggas go “it’s the parents”

They trying bro, Lil Nigga spending 8hrs a day at a school for troubled youth in Chicago. Parents probably work 8-12hrs and people gotta sleep.

Mfs can only do so much parenting with damn near 4 hours a day.

I know Niggas who wasn’t even allowed to watch WWE growing up that’s locked up for armed robbery

didn't you just do the same thing he did but basically say "it's the kids" instead
