of ashes just 2 days ago we had a transport of 700 kids. and you know, it's not easy to find a place for anybody, but it's even tougher to find a place for 700 kids in the same one place. or the many heartbreaking aspects of the story you can find out much more on the situation you crave from the website, autism or dot com. ah, a reminder now of the top stories when al jazeera of 2000000 people have fled ukraine. since the start of the russian invasion, that's according to the un refugee agency, it's described the exodus as the fastest in modern times and warned millions more people are still to come. most of those fleeing are women at children and the elderly with men forced to stay behind and fight. with the civilian evacuation of

the besieged port city of mario paul has been cancelled for the 3rd time empty buses trying to reach the city were seen turning around. following reports of russian shuffling along the humanitarian corridor. about 200000 people are thought to be tracked there. the city has been cut off from water and power for days. ukrainian officials say 3 and a half 1000 ukrainian residents and foreign students were able to leave the city of sumi on tuesday in the 1st successful humanitarian corridor. that's after an overnight air strike killed at least 20 people there, including 2 children. civilians have also been evacuated from european on the outskirts of the capital steadfast and has more now from keith. people are not going very far and not very fast because they're really simply stuck. the infrastructure doesn't let them flee quickly enough. so people are really spending the night in cars next to fuel station, so fuel stations have enormous long queues as well because people are queuing for

fuel. that is very hard to get. there's not enough fuel in these battle station. so those are quite some chaos. a lot of checkpoint, so people are very nervous, the security services are very nervous that there might be advance or forces that it might be what they called saba, taurus russians who already here who might whoa commit attacks. u. s. president joe biden has announced a ban on russian oil and gas imports. the u. k will also ban russian oil with plants, the phase of imports. by the end of the year, the movie follows please by president zalinski, to cut off moscow's energy exports. biden says the decision was made after consulting european allies those were the top stores. i'm going to be back with a half hour program in just under half an hour. stay with us though. the stream is coming up next. thanks for watching. are china m u. s. reporting their way to war in the struggle over ukraine. here's the test for president joe biden. witness

really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture through person. united states you seriously are walking through gum at the same for your weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. with high as having, okay. it has been a tough tin years. the teachers around the world and record numbers are leaving. the profession says to down the stream, we ask about the major issues that teachers have and what support they need. i do so now with the process system, so before the pending with teachers, something like that. here in the past decade, we have been dealing with the balance in classrooms below. so lose the lack of to support and the rates, the features that you are quite high in the base. but during this

time of this pandemic, i think that been sent to who is kind of taken away from them because that connection was, is gone because of this whole online blackstone and saw that eventually led to feeling burned out. we don't have any stake in the system. we're always told this is what we have to do. i'm while seeing all the inequality that our students experience on a day to day basis. and so we are given the se, and the power to actually go about and having our ideas implemented to change those systems. you have a line up for $38.00 plus educators to help us understand what is going on with teachers around the world. today. we have robina and simona and lydia. really good to have all. if you he ever bait robina, please introduce yourself to our global audience. hi, my name is robina my did in thank you for having me on this show. i had been an educator for a long period of time, and right now i am in india in the southern part of india al heights or but the

city called heights or bud and i train teachers out here. i also do a lot of reading lessons with the underprivileged kids. i had to hand and yeah, thank you. great to have you. hello, simona going to another part of the well. so we get a really good global view of what teachers are doing right now. get to have you, please introduce yourself to that. what is who you are and what day? hi, i'm small number me and i teach middle school 7th grade 12 to 13 year old and i am a bit of a new b. i'm only in my 5th year of teaching hurriedly and i'm so excited to be here and to talk with the other teachers. i think it to have you in how i media get to see you. welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to audience around the world of from so in a case proven in

a house that they saw in the hospital. so i've been teaching now for more than i was teaching that great, which is the ages around in india. thank you. all right, get to have, you've met our educators. if you understand a burnout and teaching the live or the teaching you are a teacher, the comments that you're on youtube is open and sliding right now. educators, are you ready for the 1st comment from youtube? i want, if you can relate to this, this is mythic teacher here. kids are completely out of control admins on helping parents or against us kids know, or if they said take advantage. wow, what a way to stop the show, simona us, my ling. can you related to this? what happens during coven, that the children are now back at school for the most part,

and not necessarily behave in the same way they were back in january 2020. yes i. well, the behavior has gotten a little more a lot more extreme and i am lucky, i have a great report with my kids, so i don't experience as much disrespect as i hear that my colleagues do. and i think the biggest issue with cov it and the kids is mental health. i got some quotes from my kids because i thought their voice also needed to be represented. so i noticed the thread throughout the common thread throughout the comments is mental health. i think being stuck at home was bad for mental health. yeah. robina, i'm wondering what difference you are saying in either you'll teach is that your

teaching and nurturing or the children that they are teaching because of cove it and because of the locked down and some parts of the how to really extensive locked out. that kids couldn't getting to school teachers, couldn't getting to school rena, of, for me, the hardest part was like, if i take a step backwards and when we started with the pandemic, you know, the teachers had to kind of get into that online, a teaching mode without being trained, so we put in a lot of effort to make sure that they could start teaching online, but it was hard for them. it was a, you know, frankly, alien, like, it was like, how do i do it? and then finally they got into it. they started doing it, but at the same time they were also facing a lot of things personally. right? so was personally, as well as professionally. we had a lot of salary cuts, we had teachers who were breadwinners and they lost their jobs. and on top of that,

they were personal losses. so it was kind of hard for the teachers. and at the same time, you know, just like medical professionals, they have to kind of mask their own trauma and everything and go online and teach right at the same time, you know, crack those jokes, pull the kids up with their grades. you know, you got to do, you didn't finish your assignment and you didn't do this. so i saw all that happening with my teachers. and you know, when i think i got something like him, passion for di because i was so upset with what was happening with my teachers. it hurt me a lot when i saw teachers doing that lydia. would you agree with that? yes. yes. i agree with up that you've been teaching for a long time and of course, simona did you go through that with your colleagues and yourself? yes, we went from working like an extra 2 to 4 hours a day outside of school to working like 3 to 6 hours a day. many of us talked about literally falling asleep at our computer at night.

because we did have to learn how to upload a dog. so all, all the kids could access it. none of us really knew this, and it was obvious that district didn't know how to do it either because there was literally no training. like you said, 0 train hadn't had a lot of finger point, simona how did, how did you do it? you have no training and suddenly you are online teacher. i go, how did you do that? we were kind of heavily dependent on our millennial co workers. i am going to give them credit, they would whole workshops and kind of talk us all through the skills that we didn't necessarily have that they have. they had grown up with. so a lot of my brand new colleagues, millennial colleagues stepped up to the plate and kind of lead the tech. ah, thank goodness for millennials lit lydia to tell us about your experience because

you are in a townships of resources are going to be tight there. and so when, and when we moved school from school to on line, i know it's difficult in even the states m u k, cuz some kids didn't have laptops. what will you dealing with in the township? to be honest with you, it was really a struggling for me and all of the cases was actually happening. for example, we had to open our case and also to open some what's up for i went in and the day because of who made and said that they still have not had data for them to attend the lessons. why do i do them? so it's, i mean it's not even have holes before that coming from the background. what by as

they events oh, i can face to face. so it was a difficult for us to, to, to, to have time or to, i'm in a really big issue, a whole issue off or seen it became, it became a bad before faculty to find that based on my home. and i have already moved it. so i remember one time with friends that was 2 of the ones that medical, but we have to try to get what do i have to come to school? not for, for my many, but again maybe at the entrance and we're going to move in with them to empower at home as well and what not. they moved from this

school. so that's why it be. so we had to progress and then the entrance and then and then that we have to do the open the make sense and go on. so we try to push ya like that. so i tristan because for me what i'm hearing is teaching is hard. anyway. teaching during a pandemic was next level difficult. where simone so mind, for instance, she was falling asleep at her laptop. that's how difficult it was. one of the things i want to do is we often talk about educators, how hard they work, but we don't always talk about. so how do we fix this situation? and this pandemic isn't going anywhere anytime fast. so let's look at fixes. we talked to a couple of teachers as the irish national teachers organization in ireland and a principal, a roster is in high divide in india,

they both have some interesting solutions. as of a lesson. i think as we look to how we move forward from here as the recovery, we need to look at getting those places down. we need to look at bolstering school funding. really, really importantly, though, we need to look at building and scaling off the school management teams. that we have, you know, a really strong school management team is necessary to deliver quality education, particularly in a primary assessing. but we've taken some steps to try to make teaching hours a little bit more flexible, to allow teachers to take leave to have part time a timings and, you know, work from home. so basically, a lot more flexibility has been given regarding their work. timing's who to, to rural solid suggestions as teaching alice, can i ask you how many hours he teach? robina, really management. she doesn't teach much. i'm sure. yes. the delegates, but the teachers. but the teachers that are with me, they, you know,

the hardest time for them was, you know, they were delayed relying on their personal devices. so now that the school has reopened, so hopefully those smartphones are going to go away because they didn't even have devices as such. so they were relying on their personal phones and that really, you know, shaped their work place. that was it, there a smartphone was their device. they could, you know, conduct classes and it was so hard for those because we had teachers. i mean, there was a survey in india that, that 60 percent of the teachers felt burned out, at least once a month. oh, that's a lot, that's a lot rich. that's a lot trade. and when you come home, that's pretty that smartphone like not to come home right after you finish work, that smartphone becomes your personal device. so you're like kind of juggling between them. and then of course, you have calls from the administration all that. so hopefully things are going to

be better when they go back to school. and i think the management of what mr. as to said was really nice. if teachers could be given like mental health days off. if they could get like a couple of days off a month, something like that, that would really help the teachers to, you know, kind of organize themselves and feel better, relax of them again, come back recharged. i'm just thinking about the idea of relaxing and being a teacher in the united states, simona how. how does that go down of an hours? how many hours are you doing? could it be possible to say to your, to your school district? let's have a few hours so that we can actually just have a life. have a family and family time. yes, one of the main issues with teacher burned out, i believe, is all the free labor that we're expected to do. and it increased like doubled during the pandemic. so if we were actually paid for our time or had

less like paperwork and we could actually have a life that would be great. i worked 3 jobs. so the extra time i have is minimal. so if the pay was better, i wouldn't have to work as much. and also if i did enough to do all those free hours at home, that would help as well. the thing on, on youtube, we have this question, ways in education, and teaches as valued in the us or the west as it is around the world. you having free just means that your job as a teacher isn't valued high enough that you get paid a salary. will you only have to focus on your kids at school? why me valuable? ah, that's a great question. the pandemic also brought to our attention as teachers that we were seen more as babysitters for the economy to function. um, we kind of, we kind of got this attitude thrown at us all the time, like, shut up,

get back in the classroom. we have to go to work. so it became apparent that we were seeing a lot of baby sitters more so than education. and i think in america there so focused on controlling and policing the children as opposed to really educating them. so. so my other, say somebody in youtube that want to have a little debate with you, this is eric swift. he's watching right now. he says, paul pay low more time off low. what a bunch of privileged babies i say get your degree and get in the classroom. right now, right now. yeah, walk in this teaches shoes 1st. some time i'm spent 2 days of the classroom 2 days and i would put you in a 1st grade. and boy, you're going to say, well, the very next day. i don't know if anybody. good last one day with 1st grade as

right. especially after the pandemic it right? yeah. do you say lou? the own simona? yeah. lydia let's, let's talk about these. how to make your teaching life will teaching career better? what would you need? ah, there's, there's suggestions that came from out teacher community management, better management, just getting those classroom smola. and also having more time off. not necessarily to leslie to play as eric was, was suggesting on youtube, but time off so that you can plan your lessons plan. you'll work on a even better a series of courses for your kids. what. what would you need? what support do you need? ok, thank you so much. before i respond to that question, you'll see both the minimize that and i can get that in

a county. so you'll find that you will have a trial, i will, collapses mostly over how it will be with class minus will have 50 age limits in one and the big issue of this thing. and the, there is also a how do you know that out with a specific time. so you will find that now you have to deal with the book was still going one 3rd, right? i'm all in one more space which is like you have to use if you have to deal with both of these before you'd be an a bad thing to watch. you have to keep on that, but it is the study in that count. we will work with an issue number that is the best thing that i don't know what they

can do, but the issue number is a challenge for us as educators. and if you need to, then out of classes, it was we have a one day on the other side and then you know, with the yeah or the other back. so what i think educators or when need we need to more off off what role do what is actually happening? move on to how to you with their with your all time to meet up on me think that was pro might get yeah. that what do you think that's what it may be for me and so you have that document and yes, wow. find your own way. maybe you all need to come down with to use your to,

to get on how to get it right. yeah, that was my documentation but less because i would be given or will be taken into or what so and what by it was deal with ment out in that there was a put us about maybe a in that and so on. oh, we need to that is lydia. that the idea too much documentation, having teachers in my family, i know that teachers around the world shout this the whole time, too much documentation. let us teach and then don't even get me started on standardized tests because we don't have enough show for that. all right, so i'm just going to bringing some thoughts here that you inspired educators. thank you very much for. first for sharing this with you, bella korean with us, but a cream is on youtube right now. and she suggest government should ensure how teachers mental health and other needs ship and taking care of. they are challenges

and overwork. yes. the educators and then say it says this is so true. as a teacher, i faced immense burn out and finally quit. the management doesn't even think that you was human working hours should be less for female teachers as they have a home as well. let's see what some of our extended teachers community said about mental health. have a listen, have a look. we recommended the government and sends more funds to school so that they can hire more stuff. and we also recommended the adoption of professional development training that has elements of line fullness and cognitive behavioral strategies. because this has been shown to be very successful in helping teachers mitigate stress and burnout. if there's any way the government can support teachers through mental health days and high a pe, i truly believe that that would really help teachers. but overall teachers all

definitely thinking about their students all the time and they love the jobs and they love what they do. so it's more just about finding little things that can help teachers look after themselves a little bit more. i'm just wondering how often people ask teachers, how are you doing your such amazing notches of students and even parents often? um, how much time do you spend on yourself robina? if we're looking at bone out of teaches, what would be one piece of advice she would share with at global audience, from your experience of teaching and teaching teachers? what would you share? what would you suggest? i think teachers need to learn to say no, you only have so much of time and energy to give you need to take time to replenish your energy. so be very selective about who you give your time to get, you know, get skilled and also pace yourself. learn to say no to things when you have too much on your plate. and that's what i've done to. and i think it's important and to

be sure teachers, we're peaches can't do it alone in the school or management has to step in. and they play a pivotal role in ensuring that teachers are able to give their best. okay. like giving a day off, you know, there may be a bay increase just coming back to school. i raised up pay increase. so good. amazing, definitely like i would like, let me, let me bring in sarah sarah as spoke to us a little bit earlier. she's not burned out yet. haven't. listen. i'm not burn out yet as a teacher, but i feel like it's an eminent, you know, every day i can kinda, intellectually, it happens my resilience reserves a buzz of consciously. intuitively, i just know that the pace that i'm keeping in energy is just not sustainable, especially when you're faced with students dealing with challenges and interruptions due to covered these mental health struggles are so very real and

often i feel like i'm as u. p. s. lady recalculating, recalculating route, you know, with students saint lydia. i spoke to somebody very close to me who happens to be a teacher and she's working right now. and she told me that they were given a, a one year subscription to a exercise bike that stays in one place. um and sometimes they will send emails to say, hey, are you feeling healthy? are you feeling ok to day? that was it. and sometimes they got coffee, coffee, a gift cards, that was what they got for their mental health. what would you suggest in a sentence? would be good for you. what would you like? that would make you feel less burned out. okay. yeah, with then what has me if i can relate to my to do something that i love move, which is that are less in my mind when and take

a lot more. i'd like to read more. got it. and also another thing that i see it to me and i don't walk up on the, on the. busy busy teaching yet also involved in women and men program. so we had a better idea of were more of the next thing program. yeah. for everything we had, we had a me that's i love that i love that it's going to be things. i'm not show a picnic is going to fix the moans working. but when the weather is nice it doesn't mean it's the series for b. yeah. and lydia and simona and all of the teachers on youtube. you are amazing. i salute you. thank you for your candid comments and your questions. really appreciate you. i will find out for now, i'll see you next time. take care. ah
