I remember when I was going high school in China , school opens at 7:30am and closes at 6:30pm. (Most teachers leave at 6pm)

Up***********:

Phillipines has 7:30am to 5:00pm as school hours which is too much vs other countries i think.

Ow******:

I remember hearing someone say "there's not a shortage of teachers, there's a shortage of masters level professionals willing to be paid $35,000"

Da******:

I went to American international school and my teacher who’s been teaching at states for 13 years cried on her first day of teaching overseas because she never realized how much easier teaching can be.

Bl*******:

Teachers or the backbone of literally everything. Your doctors, your engineers, your lawyers, etc... you wouldn’t have them without teachers.

Th********:

Protestors: “We need to defund the police!”
Righties: “How do you expect them to properly do their jobs without funding??”
American teachers: c o u g h s

Le*****************:

Poor American teachers. They deserve better.

Mr***********:

How to keep teachers and improve education in two steps:

1) Value and respect them.
2) Actually pay them.

Em************:

There’s so many factors that play into a child’s education (i.e. home life, culture, maturity level, personal relationships), yet teachers tend to get the sole blame for their lack of success. Teachers aren’t miracle workers, and when state and local governments are tasking them with spending time meeting every child’s personal AND educational needs, it makes teaching a lot more difficult. Wish teachers got more respect and more attention, especially those who truly care about the children

40**********:

Literally in school and everywhere else people will tell you not to be a teacher because you wont make any money

Og***:

One time almost our entire math department quit. We had no math teachers for a good few days

Am******:

Let's not forget teachers in the US are now expected to use a gun to fight off school shooters

Le*****:

Can we take a moment to appreciate the overall graphics that they used with this video? It's great!

An*********:

title: "vs rest of the world"

Me, a Brazilian teacher: They are going to compare to Finland, right?

This is Sofia, from Finland.

Me: Ok

Sq****:

Teachers: being stressed not paid enough = being rude to students = students being rude to others = students becoming stressed = students putting their stress on other kids bullying etc. = not working hard enough = getting bad grades

Ja****:

I still want to be an American teacher. I know it’s going to be a challenge but it’s my dream job that I’ve had since I was little. I’m determined to make changes.

Ty**********:

I haven’t seen a comment yet but a quick google search shows that Finland teachers make on average $37,000 a year whereas an average American teacher makes around $45,000 a year so while teachers make less cents to the dollar in America that doesn’t mean they are getting paid less. They are actually getting paid more than other teachers around the world, just America is a richer country in general so it doesn’t always translate if you talk about it using a different percentage based statistic. Also, the cost to live in Finland is %30 higher than the United States so in all reality money has nothing to do with the problem.

ev******:

Changing the whole system will take time... But we can't continue to wait!

That's why we just started a nationwide movement. If you read this comment, please check out our work. If enough people see it, we can start making a real change.

Ms***:

To my teacher who taught us the meaning of strength and hope, which taught us ethics and beautiful values, words of gratitude are not enough

Le*********:

I’m in schooling to become an elementary school teacher in the US and I’m so scared that within a few years I’m going to end up leaving. I want to be able to love and enjoy my job but if I’m not getting the proper pay and continuously being mistreated by administration, how am I supposed to stay?

Ry*********:

American pride will be the utter downfall of this ‘great’ country

Ju******:

America: Where even in schools, defence spending takes the lead.

An************:

The quality of education is vastly different from state to state.

lu*******:

"Spend a lot of school.budget in security"

I can't believe the US can't pay teachers because they're too busy purchasing fences and cameras and paying security guards cause otherwise there's too high a risk someone will just show up and shoot everyone on the school

That country has ISSUES man

AND I LIVE IN BRAZIL

Th**********:

Bruh all we need to do is decrease military spending by like 5% and give that money to education. That would be a 50% increase in education spending which could be directed solely towards teacher salaries, classroom materials, and scholarships for teachers.

19*****:

American Parents leave their kids to be babysat in school.
Other Countries sent their kids to learn.

Fundamental cultural issues.

Ho**************:

finland's population also see teachers like doctors who cure their symptoms.

V*:

I was an exchange student in America for a year from Finland. Now at home I'm very average student, but in America I was easily the smartest in the class.

Ew**********:

“And if I wanted to sit around all day going nowhere I’d be a teacher!”

An***********:

I remember in 6th grade I had a math teacher that was really nice, and she always pushed me to work harder because she saw my potential. And then in 7th grade when I moved to the US I found out that she moved from my country in Europe to Germany, and I was really happy for her.

Se*******:

Can we just talk about how Japan has teacher who work almost 12 hours per day

Gi**********:

How to get your government to watch a youtube video

Zz****:

Politicians solution: more standardized tests to avoid responsibility.

Ja*********:

My math teacher quit because the kids in my school were bullying him. I feel really bad about it and hope he’s ok

Da*********:

This isn’t a joke.

Twice in my life I’ve made friends with a new student at school and they were so far ahead in their curriculum it was embarrassing.

IC********:

US: Over works teachers and give them low wages

Teachers: leaves

US: This is beyond science

So*************:

My sister’s HS teachers really don’t care about their jobs anymore because of rude students and low pay. They even get their homework off quizlet and let their students use internet to google their answers.

el*****:

Big point this video doesn't mention is that American teachers have to furnish their own classrooms out of pocket.

Almost all American students experience bright colors, toys, books, posters, pencils, markers, crayons, often paper, etc in classroom and without the teacher paying out of pocket they would have only bleak cinderblock walls and textbooks to learn from.

Edit 11/3/2020: I want to clarify that teachers shouldn't have to do this and many other countries don't put this added expense on the teacher, but provide it through public funding.
Also- to any Americans reading this today: VOTE OH GOD PLEASE VOTE.

KM***:

I left teaching because the stress was causing me to lose my hair. I could no longer tolerate badly behaved kids (I worked at a private school that many times took in kids that were kicked out of public schools) many parents were disrespectful and got angry if you told them that their kids were anything less than perfect. Feeling pressure to decorate my classroom like a "Teachers Pay Teachers" or Youtuber teacher type person. Cause that's another thing... There's an unspoken competition between teachers over who has the cutest most creative classroom and door. The teachers with the best decorations and creations were seen as the teachers you should strive to be like, and those of us who kept it minimal because we're not as artistic and crafty were seen as the ones who didn't want to try hard enough. I broke down everytime I got blamed for student behavior and grade outcome. I shouldn't be blamed for whether Timmy took his classes seriously and studied for his tests, or whether a child chose to follow my rules of conduct or not. Teachers are expected to be 10 different things at once. We need to be kind and mild mannered while tough and fearsome enough to keep everyone in line. We're to be fun, dynamic and creative like Mary Poppins. As artistic and crafty as the art teacher, know how to handle special cases like a special ed teacher would, know enough about psychology to also be a therapist to your class, have secretarial skills, AND be extremely tech savvy. All without an assistant. It's too much! My dream job is to be left alone in an office cubicle in front of a computer, give me a task and a deadline and don't ever talk to me about kids or parents again!

Je********:

As a retired teacher with lots of teacher friends, I have a few thoughts on this. Vox was right about some.

First, teaching should not be the Rodney Dangerfield of professions. Students lack respect, and so do many parents. They assume teachers failed down into the job, rather than having spent time and money to achieve the education and meet the requirements of the career they are (at least to start) passionate about. This is especially true for students from well to-do families.

Second, stop treating grades as the relevant end product. It causes the PROCESS of learning to be devalued, and people to say they deserve a good grade because they worked hard, or even (college) because they'd paid for the course.

Spend less time on testing (and teaching to tests). America loves testing in part because we like observable, measurable outcomes. But teacher training includes assessment. We already know how to find out what our students have learned. Don't make us stop teaching our course material in order to teach to and administer additional tests.

Quit expanding the job. We are teachers. Subject-matter experts. We aren't (generally) counselors, psychologists, PE teachers, police, their students' parents, or any other of a number of roles that some people want us to fill. We need people as trained and prepared for those roles as we are for ours.

And speaking of pay... Yes, teachers need to have more equitable pay and benefits. They should not have to have such a large percentage of their work uncompensated. People are fond of saying, "they get 3 months off!" Yes. With no pay. Unable to apply for unemployment. But still having to spend much of that time in continuing education (not free, usually), lesson planning, conference attendance (to learn new tools, techniques, laws, etc.) and other activities that directly benefit their schools and students, but for which they are typically uncompensated. Think it's optional to do this? Ask your school administrators. The few days of inservice for which teachers are paid are completely inadequate for preparation. They must do it on their own time and dime to do the job well enough to keep the job.

Please. If you value the youth of our nation, set aside the money to give them teachers who aren't too poor, stressed, sick, or burned out to show their students the passion for their subject and career that they had when they started out.
