Teachers across America are sharing the same disturbing stories about what’s happening inside today’s classrooms. From extreme student behavior and disrespect to teacher burnout, lack of accountability, and frustrated parents, educators say something has fundamentally changed.

In this compilation and reaction, we hear directly from teachers describing their experiences with Gen Alpha students and the growing challenges facing schools today.

Are these isolated incidents, or are we witnessing a much bigger crisis in education?

Watch the teachers’ stories and decide for yourself. If you’re a teacher, share what you’re seeing in your own classroom in the comments.

This might not be popular but we kinda blew it on educating these kids, never gave teachers the resources they need to correct that, and theyre growing up into a world that sucks to inherit

My cynicism was WILD as a teenager (i mean it still is but it was then too) because I was growing up into a world full of problems that I was watching not get solved: climate crisis, housing crisis, wage stagnation, enshittification...

These kids are inheriting a garbage bag full of sports betting and wildfire smoke. They have nowhere to hang out, the places they could hang out are expensive, the childhood we had and our parents had isnt available to them even if youre trying.

Plus theyre now growing up with AI conditioning almost a learned helplessness because you dont have to think anymore. You dont have to look for your answer, but the answer isnt correct a lot of the time and nobody is telling them that because theyre surrounded by shit telling them AI is the future and media literacy is shot
