Teachers aren't free babysitters and parents need to be actual parents

The lack of basic understanding and social skills isn't nearly as scary as the complete lack of empathy of Gen Alpha.

"MY STUDENTS ARE ALL MORONSSS🤬🍅" is becoming more and more true...

My little sister studies in grade 3 and she has problems answering 8+8 but when it comes to stuff like pop it or other brain rot, she magically becomes a genius Update : she doesn't know how to spell twenty and zero

"I am now the alpha" Oh.

Many parents don’t want to be parents and would rather have their kids be on their iPad and phones. They don’t want to teach their kids but allow social media influence them.

I always find it funny when I see parents complaining about their kids being obsessive with their Ipads while litteraly FILMING it instead of trying to educate them properly...

There used to be a time where parents were ashamed of their kids when people told him how bad their kids have been and now parents dont seem to care

Parents are to blame. A childs 1st education is at home.

As a middle schooler, this is absolutely depressing and embarrassing... I also did not know what "GYAT" meant until this video

The worst part about this is that this video is pushed out to people, but most people on this platform are under 13, making it so that they don't watch it because they are too busy watching brainrot. This video NEEDS to be recognized more because the facts of this video are so important.

The absence of remorse, guilt and empathy from these kids is very disturbing. Their behavior comes off as soulless.

I think it comes down to who's raising gen alpha and that would be the parents

I got flamed by my teacher in grade 1 because my story about dinosaurs was only 1 and a half pages. How these kids getting away with it

As a middle schooler-to be high schooler, I have a classmate who has the same problem with only knowing sight words, and stumbles a lot when reading something in class because it's more advanced than the words they memorized, and their essay's make me feel like they haven't been learning since before COVID began. They also act so disrespectfully, and I feel like their parents genuinely don't interact with them or teach them at all. Parents, please raise your kids properly outside of school, don't leave the school to do your job!!!

And then there are parents who blame the internet for all this 💀LIKE IT'S UR CHILD TAKE AWAY THEIR DEVICES THATS ALL IT TAKES WTH

And this why I educate my 6 years-old when he is at home. He is a kindergartener. He learned how to read at the age of 4. We are still working on improving math. Education starts at home.

I'm a Gen Alpha who wasn't raised heavily with a device. (Shocking, I know) Although I had a device, it was heavily monitored and restricted, and I cannot thank my parents enough. To think that the majority of my classmates and fellowmen can't even write coherently, let alone write is both horrifying and saddening. I honestly think this generation is doomed, lest the few who were actually raised properly pull through and carry the huge weight of necessary jobs on their backs.

Get rid of their smart phones and give them flip phones. No unsupervised Internet, and get rid of all this 21st-century tech in school. I went to school from about 1989 to 2003 and all the tech from then was completely fine. Introduce Internet in high school.

A lot of these kids completely lack empathy. I mean, messing with teachers is something kids have done to some extent in all generations, but to have a grown adult in front of you literally crying & an entire classroom is either laughing or just totally complicit is outrageous.

I'm an older gen alpha and I believe this behavior is unacceptable. Especially to strangers. Some parents need to discipline their children or just not have children.

i have adhd, and have trouble remembering things, but even with it, im flabbergasted that someone wouldnt be able to remember their own BIRTHDAY

I worked at a camp for children under 8th grade and I was bullied by the campers, shoved against the wall because they were mad at the kids I was taking care of, fights broke out and my own co-worker talked badly about me behind my back. I did my best, I tried to cater to the children’s needs, I cracked jokes out and did funny dances so they can smile and laugh. But they said I don’t deserve the money I’m paid. I was severely underpaid for that job. 8 hours a day for I think a large part of summer vacation. It was absolutely terrible I’m never working at a camp again. When I was a kid and went to a camp I loved my counselors and wanted to be like them, but that was ruined the moment I stepped in that camp. Most of the kids there were spoiled brats who bullied each other. Absolutely terrible.

The second that kid said "take my ipad. I dare you" bruh that kid would learn real fast

If you’re going to let a tablet raise your kid, don’t have kids

I’m in. Seventh grade currently, and I feel like the “I’m surrounded by idiots” meme very part of my day. I remember back when students respected teachers, now, they just say “no” and then the teacher just skips them, I mean like, no, you can’t just say that you don’t want to to make something stop. You can’t tell the police “I don’t want to go to jail.” My fellow students are going to have a hard wake up call when they turn 18.

On the note of “it’s only in hindsight” that we can see the harms of how Covid was handled, that’s absolutely not true. It was very, very obvious to anyone who had foresight that it would be devastating.

I’m a swim teacher and the amount of disrespect I get from kids because of the lack of discipline at home is absurd. I quit my old work space because a mother got furious that I put her son in time out after spitting on me and making other kids uncomfortable. I don’t believe it’s the teachers fault.

Can't tell you how many times we've had to clear the class out of the room because a child was knocking over bookcases or literally beating other children with chairs. The parents always blamed it on us... but then admitted later that they have a padded room at home for this very reason. A. Padded. Room. For tantrums. Let that sink in. It's so messed up, I can't even fathom it. Instead of actually guiding their child through their emotions or god forbid some sort of discipline, they just put him in a room that they had designated was safe enough for him to destroy. Absolutely mind-blowing.

It's sad because I taught some international students from Japan last year, and the advanced English students can write essays, read college texts, and insert research into essays, and when I taught in Japan, the kids who learned English from a young age were reading on level, while American kids learning in US public school systems and in US home environments are behind. Foreigners are learning to read and write English better than Americans. (Nothing against foreigners, but Americans should be able to read their native language!) The pandemic was global, but since parents in other countries still parent and their cultures are more focused on family/education, the students are able to bounce back quickly. I am now working remotely part time so I can be home with my son (I was listening to this while working and my husband was taking his turn with our son). So far he has no screen time on a device and we watch one hour of tv a day (a Japanese show for extra language exposure since I speak both languages to him). I am pretty sure I don't want to put him through a US public school system, so if things aren't better in a few years and if we are still in the US, I will homeschool my child. I don't want him to pick up bad habits from other students.

As a alpha myself I am scared for my generation, because I was trying to show my friend at school my comic and when it came to the word human, she thought it said two…. I am scared because half my class can’t read well.

As a gen z, if you are a parent, teach your children as much as you can. Don’t allow them much internet access or tv time. Make sure they have someone to play with so they develop social skills unlike me… I have massive issues with social cues because I didn’t have any interactions with anyone except my parents. Give them plenty of toys and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A STABLE HOUSEHOLD. If you don’t agree with how the other parent acts and think they may be harmful, they don’t need to ruin the child. Divorce or break up. It’s worth it.

why are kids not getting held back anymore? i knew so many kids that were held back in kindergarten or first grade.

Man this is so sad, I remember when I was in school the whole student body literally planned an after school protest because we felt the teachers were underpaid. Now kids throw chairs at their teachers? Wild.

Y’all, I don’t know if I wanna give birth to a child that has to deal with these children. They could have a great home life, but once they step outside, it’ll be just constant bulls**t.

Not knowing how to read nor understand what your reading is just insane. I'd understand if it's a whole book that you had to memorise. But 4 paragraphs is just.. no.

I’m a 3rd grade teacher. I can confirm that students are indeed struggling with lesser grade activities. And I’ve had many students that don’t know their birthday (not even the month or day), they write their names wrong and in one case, the child even forgot what their last name was.

That skill issue on the parents' side. Discipline doesn't exist in their being.

The lady saying “I don’t care … I’m not ever coming back.” was so sad.

How are they passing their grades? The worst thing that could've happened to us back in the day was to repeat a year, lose all of our friends and get thrown into a classroom with younger kids we don't know. By having this constant looming threat over our heads we had to pull ourselves together. Is this just not a thing anymore in the US?

Im a gen z and...Is it wrong to say that I have developed a fear for them and their future's comming ahead? I mean sure, some kids nowadays are being raised by better parents standards like actual affection, a fair amount of discipline, and such. But how many spoiled brats are gonna raid society during adulthood?

They are laughing. They are laughing as these teachers are being disrespected and are leaving their classrooms. What is actually wrong with gen alpha?

Gotta say, as a young gen z, I didn't get a phone until 13, and all this mess is all on gen alpha. Skibidi toilet ruined these kids.

One point you didnt bring up is the teachers and their lack of education. I was a teacher and i can tell you, the people coming out of college today that are becoming teachers are not educated. You can't ask kids to be educated if the educators aren't educated themselves.

Watching the teachers quit while the kids laugh is absolutely heartbreaking..

The younger generation where i live is crazy The security in elementary school has gotten very tight because apparently vaping is becoming a very very common occurrence from what ive heard. Thats like 11 year olds and lower which is insane.

What happens is you have baby boomers who didnt think they had to try very hard to raise their kids who then werent equipped with the parenting skills to rais their kids. Now we have absolutely horrific classrooms.

As a parent, hold em back idc how many times they do not deserve to move on when failing, it's unfair on those students who do work hard. I only blame the parents

That old lady walking out like that... Broke my heart...

Now im gonna be hearing " ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT SKIBIDI TOILET" instead of "IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT PHONE"

Parents need to dicipline their children. Take away their devices, ground them, whatever. Just.... SOMETHING. I'm part of Gen z, and I knew there was something up with Gen alpha, but seeing actual teenagers act like kids, to THIS DEGREE, LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD? It's just so... Crazy to me.

As a 13 year old, I have NEVER seen this type of stupidity to this level. But now in middle school, I realize what this is all talking about. I was born in 2010 so I’m closer to the same time frame as gen alpha is but this video made me rethink what I should be doing as a person.

As a part of gen z, this is insane. I'm hoping gen beta doesn't get messed up like this.

When I was in high school one kid tried to fight the principal who was a former state champion wrestler. All I saw was the kids ankles flying through the air. Nobody ever fkd with that man again lol

I may have suffered from generational trauma from my boomer parents, but now I'm starting to wonder if I should be grateful that they didn't raise me like this....

So much easier to control a group of people who cannot read or comprehend things, than it is so control people who are intellectually smart.

Back when I was their age, and I'm not much older than them, we had ONE kid that threw a chair at a teacher. The cops tackled him, dragged him out and we all thought he was crazy. How did things change for the worst so fast?!

As a 13 year old who was in the 96% tile for the Literacy STAAR Test last year, the teachers are right. There are kids in my Pre-AP classes getting 10’s on assignments; yet they stay in the class. The schools don’t care about us. A staff member at my school literally said, “They probably don’t know what the alphabet is.”

I'm a minor and I find this sad, terrible and absolutely horrible. I feel as if I'm cooked when I'm older... I feel so sorry for these teachers.

As a gen z, I'm so glad i grew up with my mom's discipline beatings (not abuse btw, just a little more strict discipline) and i turned out just fine and not being these stuck-up and cringey brats. Younger gen z and gen alpha these days are extremely ridiculous and impossible due to the fact that their parents are not capable enough to discipline them, i'm not talking about everyone, but the majority of them

I actually had a teacher walking out of our classroom in the middle of a test cuz a "popular" wanted more time for the test, but when my teacher declined, the popular gurl started whispering stuff about our teacher. And whats worse is when our teacher left, her and her friends started insulting the teacher. Me and my 3 friends were disgusted of our classmates. And whats worse is that the teacher is very close to that student

I have noticed how poorly behaved my classmates are. they scream they yell, and they disrespect the teacher, then laugh. I miss out on a lot of things because the rest of my class. and the most normal other kid in my class is probably very glued to the screen and is still poorly behaved. I am one of the best if not the best student in my classroom. not once have I screamed, yelled , disrespected my teacher, and then laughed about it. it honestly terrifies me to think what the future might be like.

As a teenager who has seen this first hand! I know it’s bad! I honestly feel terrible for the poor teachers! One of our teachers supposedly got fired because they went into the school while on drugs. He was on drugs because of the students. They treated him horribly.

We need physical punshments... Words can't rly solve anything.

I think you have forgotten another "Who's to blame". The Department of Education. They are not supporting the Educators. They are the ones who shut down the classrooms during COVID and kept them shut down longer than needed. They are also not supporting the Educators in the classroom during these occurrences in the classroom.

My boyfriend quit being a teacher 2 years ago. He never blames the students as much as the education system not allowing the teachers to take disciplinary action. It’s abusive for teachers!!!

i’m in my first year of college, it’s the same problem but on a much smaller scale. the kids in college now are those who had remote high school. we still don’t know MLA, i’m in algebra and everything is stuff we’ve learned before but never actually stuck. teachers have to give students so much extra help just so we pass. I can only imagine how much worse it is for younger students. it scares me to the point I could cry. my bsf just had a baby and it just makes those fears even worse, I don’t want her baby being raised with these children I want her to succeed

i have autism so i don't understand a lot of the social norms/similar things and i was born in 2006, i've noticed that so many people that are just a few years to a lot younger than me are so disrespectful to others and nobody questions it. i noticed it got really bad after covid

"I am the alpha" bro💀

As an adult, I love to learn so when I don’t know what I word means or what something is, I google it to learn more… I see my children do the same. It starts at home. We watched PBS kids before they started attending school, they had a basic knowledge of words/numbers like they should… knowledge starts at home, can’t expect teachers to do everything… they’re you’re children that are a reflection of YOU not the teachers

As a gen alpha (im not like 6 or something but still gen alpha) im suprised because i think theres a lot of kids who do well in school and im one of them i know lots of kids who do have bad grades and can read but also i see a huge lack of respect for my teachers at my school, my teacher is always taking our stuff because there hitting kids she always has an odr (major office referral) ready to give to a kid who is behaving badly. My fellow classmates always brag about there “10 ODRs” like its a good thing but i goes on your record. I think the gen alpha and late gen z kids can definitely take school more seriously.

Parents tell us that we are gonna be a better generation in the future look at us 💀💀💀💀💀. Skibidi toilet,gyat,fenum tax,mewwing and more weird 💩

I'm 33 & I can still remember to this day when I was in about the 8th grade when a group of students were being really disrespectful & pushed our teacher to his limit. He was always so happy & calm. One of my favorite teachers, but he got so upset that he threw a chair at the wall & really yelled for the first time. After that everyone got silent & those students felt so bad that one of them even started crying about it. I can't believe watching those videos where the teachers are pushed to their limit & walk out & the students still laugh.

There is no hope for them at all and as a Gen Z kid I am WORRIED FOR THEM like for real

Im concerned bc this kid in my class was yelling at my science teacher when she asked him to turn off his computer. He was all like “iT’s aN onLinE gAmE i cAnT tUrN iT oFf” like ur not supposed to be playing games in class? 💀

as a gen alpha (2013) im so dissapointed in people around my age today i was not raised like this

“I am now the alpha” gave me 2018 chills

I am forever grateful that I am not one of those gen alpha kids who are addicted to phones and having low scores

from the stand point of a older gen z person, I saw the rise of these issues in the classrooms start being noticeable in grade seven. The disrespect to many kids being unable to properly understand whats being taught them, to straight up ignorance and care for whats being taught them, absolutely makes me personally worried for the coming future. The fear of my generation and the gen alpha becoming things like doctors, scientists, mechanics, and many others actually make me scared. I don't want people who probably or probably didn't cheat on their exams to be my doctor? I'm thankful, no lucky that my grandma was a former teacher and taught me things a normal kid should learn, and lucky I had a family who understood how to parent properly.

Gen Z here, even in college (16-18 in the UK) I'm noticing this behaviour in my classmates. Storming out, constantly asking for breaks, rudeness. It is not confined to gen alpha.

" i am now the alpha " 😭😭😭 omg help

"I am now the alpha🤓" He says while sounding like a complete nerd

It doesn’t help that parents yell at people,” StOp TeLlInG mE hOw To RaIsE mY cHiLdReN”

Always blame parents first. Its the parents job to ensure their child know how to act in public and the teachers job to help them learn and learn how to think.

Blaming everyone for your actions/inactions doesn’t solve any problem- ever.

I have 2 foster siblings, aged 10 and 11, and neither can read at all. This is 100% their parents fault, since they would be on drugs and drinking with friends, just giving them electronics to occupy them. Not to mention there are 9 total kids in their family

If only there was a VPN service for Netflix I could buy and use to distract these kids more.

I am 45 yo and I was taught the memorization of words instead of phonics and I still can't spell and have issues with new words... My school went back to phonics after my grade!

So why are they passing students that are underperforming? Are they not allow fail kids anymore for fear they will have their feelings hurt?

"I AM NOW THE ALPHA" 💀💀💀 HELP ME I AM DYING

I am genuinely disappointed at how low my kind has sunk.

I’m 13, born in 2011 I physically cannot compare myself to those iPad skinwalkers

I'm so glad that I raised my kids right. I'm a millennial. I was a teen mom. My kids had rules and screen time restrictions and restrictions on what they were allowed to watch. I watched my kids not their iPad. They didn't get an iPad until their mid teens. There was reasonable and predictable consequences for rule breaking and zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior. But I hugged and held and loved and nurtured my kids. I played with them and made them go outside. I held them accountable. The answer is easy. Don't have kids if you aren't going to put your all into them. They're who will lead and run this country in several decades. Invest in your and their future

Parents need to teach their kids when their at home too. I'm a gen x'er, and when I fell behind in something (Math was a problem), my mom would take me aside after dinner and get my book and start showing me how to do stuff. I learned my multiplication table not from my teacher, but from my mom. Aced my math class that year too. I think parents need to help their kids more.

I quit teaching the youth, I couldn’t handle the constant disrespect. The violence. The lack of caring to even try. I wish all my former students the best but after I took a trip to the hospital due to stress I knew I had to leave.

Another strange thing I’ve noticed as a teacher: when I ask a student on a Monday what they did on the weekend, most can’t remember or said that they did nothing. When I say “well you must have done something” they respond with “can’t remember”. What’s with that???

As someone who is placed into the gen alpha group sadly, my class of MY age too, has trouble spelling words like "communication." but its not many luckily. The kids in the grade below me though are having problems spelling, reading, and yelling at their teachers. Parents, raise your kids.

As a Gen Alpha... what is going on in my genation... I feel ashamed of being part of it ○,~,○ I'm glad my parents actually taught me right, I'm homeshooled so i don't get to talk to my friends as often as i would if i went to public school. But i have a big family, so i get to talk to my cousins and have fun. Most of them are older than me, but three are younger. Out of the three, they're all brain dead except the smallest one.

Parents are No. 1 to blame, learning begins at home
