There is a teacher shortage for many places in the U.S. Also, many are quitting due to terrible parents, bad administration, and high stress students just to be paid a shit salary. If an age restriction was inforced, many schools would be in danger.I've said this time and time again.
There's too many young teachers teaching.
When I was in school, nearly all of my teachers were at least 30 years older than me.
Now, it seems like the average age difference is 10-12 years or less.
And it's not just the age difference that's the problem.
It's the fact that there doesn't seem to be that much of a difference in maturity level between the teachers and students.
Seems like more of a peer relationship than a student/teacher relationship.
I blame social media for this.
Mainly because the teachers are probably on social media just as much as the students.
So they have a similar mentality.
Basically, if most of the teachers were old enough to be the students' parents, none of this foolishness would even be happening.
@deadeye
You ever consider that a lot of the teachers you had weren't as old as you thought they were?
This not a gotcha. Just a serious question
Also, the teaching profession as a whole has gone to shit. Older people simply have been phased out of education, not at all levels but there was a massive shift at some point in the last 20 or so years.
You don't have to be old to teach, you have to be relatable in a way that younger minds consume education.
I personally wouldn't do this cause I like to always ensure that boundaries with kids are clear. I am not your peer even if happen to like some of the same things. I've had dreads and braids and shit like that. You just gotta suck it up and do that shit by yourself on your own time or pay the tax for the stylist to take it down
In a vacuum, no imo
BUT
probably shouldn't have recorded and uploaded it for likes
That's it. I don't see how anybody could see that as acceptableI don't think there is any excuse for teachers and students under a specific age to ever come into physical contact.
