The crazy thing is, that teachers are undermined and then expected to raise their student's scores, but if two or three students act out multiple times but nothing is done, this will affect standardized test scores. Inclusion only works when students are willing to accept responsibility for their actions.

What teachers need is a state cop in the classroom with admin not doing anything. If students act up, they get taken out of school in handcuffs and either to juvenile hall or back home, depending on what they did. If kids don't get their act together, they go to foster care.

@@TheRealfan1 OH, hell no. They need cameras in EVERY classroom, thus, parents can SEE what their darlings are doing. If the behavior continues, they should be placed in a different educational enviroment. They use to have schools like that in Chicago, but Rahm closed the last one. Taken out in handcuffs? That depends on the infraction. Juvenile home? Again that depends on the infraction. Sending them home with their parents is a good solution, however, in Chicago, they don't want you calling parents, let alone suspending them. While on suspension, if the kid get killed or shot, they will blame that on the schools or mayor, not withstanding, they are with their guardians. Principals usually blame the teacher for their behavior. Why would you put a child in foster care if they act out in school? That is going a bit to FAR.

@@Imissyoulou If they don't want suspensions nor call parents, admin/principals need to do their jobs and hold kids accountable and STOP BLAMING THE TEACHERS FOR EVERYTHING. With a cop with a body cam, teachers would be cleared from blame and show suspensions are necessary and no lawsuits for suspensions. And if parents don't discipline their kids, then I'm sure foster parents will. Kids need to be scared straight somehow. Also, if a student is in a classroom they're not supposed to be in (sped kid in a regular classroom, etc., districts would be punished if they don't take care of the problem right away.

"We've got to stop lying to these children and telling them the world is going to bow down to them."-Patrice. This needs to be on a plaque placed in every school from middle school to graduate school in America. I teach first year college students, and I tell them all the time that whether it aligns with their values or not, or with my values or not, the system they will be working in when they get the jobs they're in college to prepare for is going to require them to show up, and show up on time, even on days they don't feel like it. It's going to demand they pay attention and participate in meetings that don't fascinate them every minute. They're going to have to work on projects when they'd rather be doing something else. And if they just refuse to do it, or if they make fun of the boss and mock everything right there at work, or make excuses, they're not going to get to do something else of their own choosing at their own convenience. They're going to get fired, and a bad professional reputation that makes it harder to find a new job in their field.

Admin is what made me quit also after 16 years. They were so unsupportive and could not figure out what our neediest students needed and let them rule the school. The last straw was when a student physically threatened me and my principal said she didn't consider it a threat. This kid had physically threatened 3 students prior to this. It ruined my mental health and it took me a year to recover. I now teach non-verbal autistic students to communicate via spelling on a letterboard. I am so glad I left. I do miss the kids sometimes, but the stress was too much.

I found myself nodding my head throughout this entire interview. I can relate to Patrice's experience as I also received pushback from students, parents, and admin for trying to uphold standards of behavior and decorum in my classroom, as well as having academic expectations that aligned with the rigor of the course. While I had plenty of students and parents who loved me for it, there were angry students and parents who simply were not accustomed to their work being evaluated honestly and being told they had to demonstrate semi-professional behavior in school. Mind you, I taught high school English, so this is truly not asking a lot of 16-18 year olds. Administrators were quick to bend to the will of parents because they did not want the headache -- even when they knew parents were out of line and downright bullying teachers. Students, of course, knew this and were happy to let teachers know that they could get them fired by making baseless accusations. It is utter lawlessness. The kind of common sense, tough love approach to teaching that Patrice is describing is now frowned upon. Those of us over the age of 30 probably had a teacher that was tough on us, pushed us out of our comfort zone, and required us to step up to the plate and do better. Sure, we probably hated it at the time. But once we got older and matured, we realized they were among the best teachers we ever had. Unless you work in a school where the culture of the entire building reflects high standards, you can not be this kind of a teacher. You will quickly be labeled as the 'mean' teacher that's causing the kids to have 'anxiety' -- all because you're trying to push them learn, grow, and mature. We are not doing our Gen Z and Gen Alpha students any favors by pushing them through the system and allowing them graduate illiterate and innumerate. We are not helping them by allowing their uncivilized and undignified behavior. We are creating unintelligent narcissists. Truly. They are so coddled and their egos are inflated because they think they can get away with everything. As Patrice said, the real world does not work this way. I fear for the future this country.

I feel so lucky that I was able to long term sub before I got a teaching job, because I learned that education is NOT the field for me. I took over in February and stayed until the last day of school. I had never experienced the gaslighting from admin, the resentment from coworkers, and the absolute unhinged behavior from students. Admin was too afraid of lawsuits to actually enforce discipline (I was told this explicitly), and when I would reach out for help I was always told that the problem was me, that I was never trying hard enough. Students were physically and s*xually violent with each other, physically violent towards teachers, and no consequences were ever given. It is still traumatic to even remember. I felt awful constantly, I gained almost 30 lbs from stress, and I had all the responsibility of a teacher for only $130 a day. I’m so lucky to have had an out before I committed, and now I’m headed for grad school. My heart goes out to all the teachers who had to put up with it longer than I did.

It’s refreshing to hear Patrice speak so candidly about the realities of being an educator. This interview resonates deeply because she touches on issues that many teachers face but often feel they can't openly discuss. The lack of compassion and support from administration, the overwhelming burden of dealing with students' and parents' mental health challenges, and the pressure to always align with parents and children, even when it's not in the best interest of the educational process, are all incredibly taxing on teachers. Patrice’s decision to prioritize her well-being and step away after 17 years is both brave and a poignant reminder of the emotional toll that teaching can take. It’s important that I now recognize and address these challenges within my own space, and it's not just to retain great educators like Patrice (I'm going to shamelessly include myself in this equation) but to ensure that our schools are environments where both teachers and students can thrive. Her raw honesty in this interview is a call to action for systemic change, reminding us that educators are people first, with their own limits and needs. The profession needs to become more sustainable and supportive, so teachers don’t feel they have to choose between their mental health and their careers. Trish, thanks again for yet another insightful eye opening interview. Powerful!!!

I'd make it law for a state cop (with body cam) to be in the classroom. If no one wants to do their jobs, I'm sure state cops will. If students are dangerous (fight, hit, stab someone with pencils, etc), they get taken to juvenile hall. If students are disruptive and teachers feel they need to get taken out of the classroom, they get handcuffed and get taken back to their place for the day. If students keep misbehaving/parents don't anything to their kids, they get taken to foster care. They get a chance to reunite with their parents to see if they learned their lesson. If admin don't want to do anything, there would be consequences.

If our policing system wasn’t completely broken I’d agree, but cops would just use their presence as an opportunity to fill quotas and expand the prison population. They’d more than likely TRY to provoke the already struggling students into getting themselves arrested, which would just traumatize the kids that do behave and make them even more afraid and distrustful of authority figures. I’m not sure what the answer is, but placing kids under armed guard definitely isn’t it.

What I find interesting is that teachers are so often pushed to burnout and to leave the profession because of having poor administrators/ leadership. Whilst we expected some students to display extreme behaviours, it is a lack of support and robust behaviour systems that result in teachers leaving. It is not fair to force teachers to deal with challenging students alone, especially those who have high needs. I would probably stay at my school if there were adequate measures taken when dealing with extreme behaviour, but because there isn't I know I have got to leave and move onto another school.

And when things do become so unbearable that a teacher walks right off the job in the middle of the day, there is no need for any educator out there to ever believe that they did anything wrong whatsoever! Supervisors in all professions completely undermine the steady Eddies. And then they lose them altogether! Serves them right. Good for you, Patrice, for wanting to do good things for other teachers on a truly human level! And thank you for sharing your story!

That was me yesterday. I was a hair close to walking out the door yesterday during one of my classes. After having to endure severe rude behaviors and defiant kids, I had a girl throw 3 chairs across the room while screaming. No person should have to endure this on their job. I literally fear for my safety, and my sanity.

@@kris78787Holy cow! I would have walked right off the job if that had been me in that situation! Any student out there who has an undiagnosed neurological or psychological disorder should not be allowed back at school ever without a doctor’s note. Schools are not mental health institutions! And if admin. want to ignore that fact, then they too should be institutionalized!

The news had a teacher, or admin person who is lost her eye because of a student throwing things. This has to stop. Admin sounds to be most of the problem.

Omgosh! This was so helpful! The classroom management strategies that she shared gave me so many ideas. I’m a homeschool mom and I’m so glad she shared, I’m adding these tools to my toolbox. P. S. I’m so happy she reclaimed her self care❤️

Why don't some of these disgruntled teachers run for school board?

They're most likely blacklisted from their school districts. If you're not playing the game, dealing with students they way they want you to do and playing politics and favorites. You're not going to be on the school board. It's about who you know and being favored by the county.

I am considering it, and will probably eventually...but right now I am prioritizing my health and wellness after 22 years on the battlefield of education! But if we don't run for school board, others should surely step up and be a compassionate voice for teachers, as well as doing what is best for the students of their districts.

I’ve been teaching for 13 years. I used to LOVE coming to work. My kids were amazing, I had supportive parents, and I had the freedom to teach what I wanted. My kids from my first 5 years still email me, visit me, their parents call me, etc bc students loved my class so much. I now hate coming to work. It’s like a weight falls on me when I walk through the door, the people are negative, the kids still seek me out but now it’s to get out of another class or bc they want to hang out, want food, etc. Parents are unbearable, and the curriculums are SO boring. I want out bad.
