Teaching seems like a frustrating job

The users name is "johnny bananas".
Yeah! If they're lying about their name, who knows what else they're lying about?!
Man, I hope you're a troll, because otherwise that's some S-tier stupidity.
Right. Because johnny bananas wrote about how s parent of their student gave their kid a comfort banana. And I'm the stupid one. Enjoy eating that onion.

“Which country” now THAT’S rage bait.
Theres an old article of this happening in the USSR in 1979

Is it faked? Probably. Is it outside the realm of possibility? Not at all. My mom spent most of her life as an elementary school teacher. I got to hear a lot of the stories about kids she dealt with. Some kids are messed up and need help. Too often their parents are too in one way or another. Mom loved all the kids, even the difficult ones. She said it would be a perfect job if she didn't have to deal with the crazy parents and school administrators.
Definitely has an air of truthiness.
Would your mom have posted her stories to twitter if she knew how?

I'm a teacher assistant, 80% sure I want to go into teaching (students assaulting me isn't holding me back. Its just the self confidence of stepping up and leading the class is what's holding me back. And granted, I'm not in the USA, so I don't fear school shootings)
I've had students punch me. I've had students slam doors hard enough to break windows. But I also remember seeing the students learn something. The way their face lights up when they are smarter than their friend, or when they make a connection in math. THATS what is bringing me back to the classroom.
The shy kid in yr 8 is now school captain. The kid I personally nicknamed 'Cartman' because that was his personality, is helping the new kid around school when teachers aren't looking.
Remember the good bits

She might have, but cancer finally won out 15 years ago. Probably would have written some great stuff

It will never be odd to me that people will share their personal lives to a bunch of strangers so freely.

B a n a n a s are considered histamine liberators so you might look at a list of high histamine or histamine liberating foods to see if you have possibly histamine intolerance
Sorry bruh the second you tell me to ditch the sauerkraut and kefir you lost me

And this on top of the trump administration convincing everyone that you want to do gender reassignment surgery on their children during lunch.
Where do you think we want to put the calming banana?
-
Nah, even as a child that's unacceptable. My kid is only 5 and I don't let them hit people, and punish them when they do. The response from the parent shows the apple fell straight down
Edit: if you think this is advocating violence against children, go touch grass or read a single book on parenting ffs. Natural/logical consequences make good punishments for misbehavior, and have gone a long way to helping my kid not act out (and are nonviolent, since that has to be spelled out)
No! Bad! No hitting children!

The calcium will help regrow them⸮

Ok great, next time your kid hits me I'm going to hit him back.
So like, I've trained martial arts briefly, right? It's really important not to train your "I'm in danger" instincts away, because they can protect you. However, this can unfortunately lead to you punting a 7 year old.

On top of all of this, at least in my country, the pay is shit. And no government past or present seems interested in changing it so...
Always the same story on loop.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" - Because the pay is shit.
"We're struggling to fill positions" - Because the pay is shit.
"This generation is laz— The. Pay. Is. Shit.I was getting paid more than my teacher friends working in the office being a entry-level data entry person. It sucks how we undervalue teachers.

Calming banana uno reverse

I’m feeling like there’s more to this story

Exactly where this teacher wants this parent to put it.

Nothing makes me wanna be a teacher like seeing all of the horrible videos on the internet of students fucking up their teachers and assaulting them. Wait, I think I said that wrong…

Judging by the rest of your message, I think you'd be a great teacher, you should become one.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I was going to make a comment about "that's 4 years of study, just for a maybe I will like it". But this year (well, this July) marks 4 years of being a Teacher Assistant, and I'm still ready for another 4 years...
All the signs say "go for it", but the leadership...

The decision is yours to make after all, and it's a pretty important one. But I think any educational system (wherever you're from, doesn't matter) can always use more teachers that actually care for their students and aren't there just to have a job, which isn't always the case unfortunately.
