Educators Speak Out About Mental Health Toll Of Teaching Through Pandemic | NBC Nightly News
Ppfff please
agreed bunch of sjw teachers being put on the spotlight. the regular teachers are KILLING IT and loving it lmaoo
Sometimes its important to let the things that do not matter, to truly slide.
My daughter hight school teacher broke down and cried yesterday during virtual call, when a student started ranting about how much he loves trump half the class was almost in tears.
That’s sad these kids are so brainwashed that they cry if someone expresses their political opinion that goes against the mainstream narrative
No it’s call free speech. You shouldn’t censor a student for expressing their political opinion even if it goes against the mainstream narrative. This is America not Communist China. That student has a right to express themselves even if you don’t agree with them. That’s freedom. I don’t personally like Trump but I would never censor someone for expressing themselves whether I liked that opinion or not. It’s free speech. People have rights.
@Eric Cartman Crying is not censorship. Crying is an emotion that everyone has a right to express😉. I suggest that you not try and censor a student for expressing their feelings in response to the ranting disruptive student. It’s called freedom. People have rights.😉😉
If teachers are crying because someone expressed a political view , they are not fit to teach .
@Theresa Shaw go away troll!
It would help if Trump set an example instead of being an obstacle.
You can’t help yourself, can you.
He got CV-19 and got thru how much more example do you need?
Proverbs 13:3- The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
Proverbs 21:23- He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
Proverbs 18:6- A fool’s lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows.
Proverbs 18:7- A fool’s mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
Do your words destroy or bring joy?

Propaganda bs, using this to control you dummies.
Everyone holding up progress so Trump2020 want get a win. You got Russia back out of a deal , you got Pelosi holding up relief money , and a hold host of other things. You want to know how we can get our elected officials to get it 2 words pubic pressure . this is for Republican or Democratic if we put put pressure on our leader they can’t hold up progress for political gain.. There is a lot of thing Republican and Democrat voters agree on we should pressure our to pass bill that we all agree on . when we all agree on something we smart most of the times we right.
All for army academic learning 🤔
Make sure your kid gets their weeks work every week. Then help and get help for them if needed and remind them if they want free time they want work on their lessons. If they’re cool with working at a steady pace and teachers are being there when needed it’ll be done on time. Everyone gets in the weeds sometimes. Just recognize it. Time is good 👍. Take care of yourself and each other.
Lockdowns are bad for mental health. For the youth with 99.95% recovery rate, they should live normal life with some precautions.
Thank you! Because it’s so hard brainwashing our youth
WHY AREN’T YOU COVERING THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY?????
My CS 2 teacher, Mota @ MSU, totally gave up after it and told us to watch YouTube. Then we all had to suffer his grades!
Sorry man
What??!! No way! Totally unfait
Homeschool your kids from these leftist teachers
Thank you! These teachers literally cry and whine when a student expresses their political opinion that goes against the mainstream narrative. It’s sad.
“I don’t think science knows” person who claimed there were airports in 1776.
And they ran the rampants

wowhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
They should have reported on the rainbow coalition of teachers ethnic teachers white black Asian Latinos laugh out a whole lot of substance other teachers in the United States of America
teachers need a raise
@Eric Cartman You really hate teachers, don’t you? You don’t even have kids, but here you are putting down teachers in almost every comment. Go get a life and let those of us who actually love children do our jobs! (Typing this on my 15-minute “lunch” break). Now I have to go back to work for another 13 hours today.
Yep there’s nothing else to do but riot and loot businesses. I’m bored. But this is fun thank you.
They already make 7000 usd a month in california with 3 months off!!!!!
@john smith thats almost poverty level in california, no way you can raise a family on that. im raking in over 100k and can barely afford a roof over my family of 4’s head. a teacher should be able to provide for a family.
@john smith And you wonder why ppl riot. its mostly bc you are ignorant to economics.
Aww…. what an important segment! We 💕🙏 our beloved Teachers.
As a teacher. Thank you.
Especially asking how Parents can help us ✌🏽
Stop complaining and do your job. You’re setting a bad example for your brainwashed students
@Eric Cartman And you’re setting a bad example as a typical You Tube troll!
No literally I cannot agree with Cartman more. I’ve been doing my job & my kids teachers job for a year now. And they had the audacity to switch my kids entire learning platform last month & not give me any directions until the week they changed it. Fire all the teachers & don’t give them any benefits unless they are in person teaching.
Yes, the students are suffering too. Online classes are killing my daughter. The stress is 10x worse this year. It’s affecting her grades badly.
Teachers i understand you are stressed, but more importantly is that the doctors, nurses and hospital staffers get relief and comfort. They are the front line. We are all suffering, so take a breath and get back to work teachers.
Thank you
Thank you! Stop whining and do your job teachers. My wife is a nurse and she works 16 hour shifts with 1-2 days off a week. Stop complaining and do your job it’s really not that hard. I homeschool my children.
@Eric Cartman Then your wife is getting more time off in the week than most teachers are right now. My week days are 16 – 20 hours each day and weekends are 4 – 10 hours each day. That means no days off at all. Today was the first day since school started that I took a whole day for myself, yet it still involved a trip into the classroom to gather books and supplies that I needed for this week. There is a difference between complaining and informing.
@Carrie Cablay You need better time management skills. I’m a nurse who has been homeschooling a second grader for the past year. His useless teacher gets on a zoom meeting for 30 mins/day and tells the kids what slides to do. So if the teachers are doing a 30 min zoom call, I find it hard to believe they are spending 19 hours and 30 mins actually working. His school has been absolutely useless for the last year. I quit teaching thier curriculum
Aren’t we all going through it though
That’s like saying “All lives Matter”
Keeping the mask on the kids and keeping them six feet apart is mission impossible.
Because these kids need to breath. They’re not dumb they take their mask off to breath. Stop enforcing the masks and let them breath.
@Eric Cartman Thank you! I agree.
If you can home school, that would help reduce the load on teachers without forcing face to face teaching. You might be able to pull together a quarantine pod that is able to take turns teaching the kids. Just a thought.
Here’s a thought, the teachers who are getting paid to do it SHOULD ACTUALLY TEACH the kids & not parents who are already working full time
I Have nothing but respect for teachers. They are the most amazing creatures in humanity.
Yes because brainwashing our youth is so difficult
Most teachers are scum, they take advantage of the fact that its almost impossible to get fired.
Not all of them are as innocent as you think.
Yeah I had to quit smh it’s too much very draining.
Are you a teacher or a student?
And aren’t you like worried cause I’m also worried as heck it’s killing me
See at least you admit you couldn’t handle your job. Good for you. These teachers need to stop complaining and just do their jobs or quit.
wowhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8J
@Eric Cartman I’m a student. You know it’s really sad. They are essentially just talking into a screen not knowing if they are even listening and they can’t do anything about it. They can’t see the emotion in people’s eyes so it just feels dead. You can’t do a job you love only for it to end up like this.
Teachers should be paid more, they might be teaching some random thing but every time there and then they teach us about the real world and things you learn from it. They get us ready for the real world.
Kids are breaking down too. So how about everyone put they guns down before anyone here hurt 🔫
What are talking about?
“Its like we are building an airplane while we already flying”
WTF? Dude she shouldn’t be teaching.
Teachers need to stop being little babies and just do their job. Oh for once your job is difficult. Man up and do your job.
For once? Are you kidding me?
Which grade do you teach Eric?
Wooooooooooow

I don’t see why parents don’t sit down with their child and try to help them. Even if you don’t know the question or the material, it gives your child some sense of stability and they may surprise you by figuring out the problem on their own.
Because parents like me already work a full time job & have been doing a teachers job as well . This is ridiculous & I think they should all be fired because they are obviously non essential if I’m expected to do my job & thier job as well
Teachers are asked to mop the floor but the tap has not been turned off
How to make money: https://youtu.be/Gnc83-T-ltU
I just got credentialed as a special education in May and this was supposed to be my first year teaching, but I’m too afraid to take it on. I left a 10 year career to go back to school to become a teacher. My student teaching was virtual and it was a nightmare. Now I have no job and little hope 😔 All my love to these amazing men and women.
Top O’ The Mornin’, Max!
Same Exact Sky, in MA. Today! A Blue-ish kinda White! YUM!!
Delfino Garza — Exactly (like ‘formal education for example’). Otherwise, One Result: PTS for b oth the teachers and the children (and parents). It’s inhumane all around… We’re trying to “Force normal” in a globally abnormal experience. Many call it a need for ‘control’ and have a hard time letting go of ‘normal’ (yet another form of mental health degradation), so we pay the price
“Self care” is a variation on “Blame the Victim” Some Districts seem to have not heard of or considered their accountability for ‘Reflective Supervision”. Instead: “Y’all on your own. Good Luck with that. Let us know how that self-care turns out” 😢
Thank you for this report. this is my 25th year in the classroom, and I have never been more miserable. Unfortunately, I am still too young to take advantage of the golden handshake offered this year. It has exasperating trying to continue my lessons with studetns who are clearly disconnected, as I see and hear my 3rd grader not get what he needs from Distance Learning. I don’t think we can ask the parent to do moer than make sure you studetns are really attending class.
notably absent was the still UNREASONABLY LARGE CLASS SIZES (lin my district). Our DO spouts SEL (social emotional learning) for the students, but who does one develop a relationship with 30+ turned off cameras? The DO also sends emails about self-care, but it comes across as just one more thing they expect of us. I have never worked and planned so hard and long to see so little student learning and success—and felt so demoralized.
Do you work in my district? lol Sounds like my life, but luckily (or not) I am looking at retiring this year. I just don’t think I can truly afford to. Bless you and just do what you can do. I’ve gone from 18 hour days to 15 hour days, lol
Teachers in america are a joke. Let’s just be honest for once.
People don’t realize how much they are building the plane as we are flying
Open the schools! No more problem…….
CDC reports the survival rate for ages 0 to 19 who contract the virus are 99.78 percent….
Most senior state teachers are making $7000 a month in california !!!! I won’t be crying fir them at all…. And three months off!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, I make 9000 a month in CA. We don’t have 3 months off, and the 8 weeks we have off, we don’t get paid for. Our pay is for the days we work. And my days are 16 hours long now. Went to bed at 1:00 am last night after planning, grading, emailing parents. Up at 6 am this morning to get set up for the day. I earn my pay, I have a Master’s degree and I’ve been teaching for 34 years.
@JEANINE SINGER then you probably need better time management skills. Here in Michigan I’ve been doing my second graders virtual learning for a year now, and working full time. His useless teacher does a 30 min zoom meeting and tells the kids what slides to look at all day. My kid literally gets nothing out of it. I just told the principle we’re not doing their curriculum anymore. If I’m forced to homeschool, I’m going to do learning specifically catered to my kid. I’m not teaching his lazy teachers curriculum anymore . I personally think they should fire all the teachers who aren’t teaching in person, especially at the elementary level
Do your best in your job. All jobs now days is stressful
Took the year off, unfortunately, can’t…
Teachers, try being a nurse………..
Lying on the couch all day after two hours of zoom time with disinterested kids. Collecting a fat paycheck as well as the relief. I see one feisty union head from Jersey is living it up in the Carribbean (and being paid). Be strong teachers union…oh right you clearly are.
And kids
wait a second….. did that 5 year old have a MacBook? I’m shutting this off.. lmao
