AI Can’t Fix This: Stories From the Classroom
Description
Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!
With the notion that teachers are using AI to make everything "easier", why are teachers are leaving the education field at an alarming rate? From burnout to lack of support, and overwhelming workloads, this episode captures teacher stories from the first few weeks of school revealing kindergartners running from playgrounds, students using profanity in class, and physical altercations - all with minimal administrative response.
We're talking about specific reasons why teachers are leaving the classroom and vowing never to return:
• Lack of administrative support when dealing with student behavior issues
• Rigid time constraints with no breaks, even for basic needs
• Overwhelming workload including grading, lesson planning, and implementing new curricula
• Class sizes that are too large to effectively manage student learning
• Student behavior problems that escalate without proper intervention
• Administrators who blame teachers rather than offering support
• Lack of professional development that actually addresses classroom challenges
• Pregnant teacher left alone for 10 minutes during a physical altercation between students
Parents can support teachers by remembering a few key things:
Be kind and respectful in communications, remember that teachers are human beings with full lives, send kids to school ready to learn, avoid contentious conversations before school, and stay engaged with teachers about positive developments.
