More and More Teenagers Are Coming to School High, N.Y.C. Teachers Say
This is nuts. I'm surprised this would even happen. I'm shocked I tells ya,,, shocked.
Vaping and edibles are a major issue in schools. They are nearly impossible to track and they know how to lace vapes with fentanyl or THC. There is going to be a major teacher shortage in the next decade or so. The pay isn't worth the headache and discipline is virtually non-existent. Many students with IEP's are not disabled learners, they are discipline issues which has affected their learning. The other major problem with that besides the obvious one is a student with an IEP is nearly impossible to suspend so they virtually get away with anything. I have been teaching since 2005 and it has changed dramatically in the last 18 years of so. I honestly can't remember how many teachers have quit or retired early in that same time frame. There are no substitute teachers because the pay is paltry compared to the hassle which means we have to cover other classes and coverage in the bathrooms or other common areas in non existent much of the time due to understaffing.
