I teach teenagers, 16 at the youngest, sometimes into their 20s, and their incompetence is astounding. I'm teaching them such simple things, things on a computer where they should be easy because they're so tech-inegrained, and they just sit their with their mouths open and wait for me to come do it for them I don't understand how they can fail to solve the most basic problem or follow steps I have explained over and over again Today, they were too busy taking personality quizzes to even listen to the instructions and waited until the last second to even attempt the task, despite me constantly reminding them to sit at their computers and focus The lack of effort is enraging today. Why am I even here if you don't want to try? Why don't we all just stay home? Why are you wasting your youth in a classroom if you aren't even trying hard enough to get this qualification? I'm a new-ish teacher and I'm already utterly worn down. My subject is fun, practical and most importantly, completely optional. No one is forcing you to be here! submitted by /u/Clementine-Sawyer [link] [comments]
