This Viral Video Of A Teacher’s Rant Right Before Officially Retiring Has Been Seen Over A Million Times — Here Are The Reasons Why She Can ‘No Longer Deal’ In The Profession

According to Brenda, what unequivocally makes this generation of students different is social media and tech and how some students are overly attached to them. Consequently, it appears students have lost important social skills, such as conversing and regulating their emotions. “The social media drama works its way into the schools and into the classrooms,” Brenda explained. “In turn, this means your teacher is not teaching anymore but now must be referee. Then, you’ll have some parents who will lash out at the teacher for not handling the situation accurately when this is not the teacher’s job. The teacher is hired to teach. It’s up to the parents to create boundaries with tech usage and social media. Not the teacher.”
