5:36 pm
i got a list and a pro with a in a house in one of the beta in the hospital. i i know for more than 58, i was teaching the glee with a stick in a in yet. all right. get to having a say, you've met our educators. if you understand a burn out and teaching you leave for the teaching, you are a teacher. the comment section on youtube is open and sliding right now. educators, are you ready for the 1st comment for new chip? i wonder 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. oh wow. what
5:37 pm
a way to start the show. how simona you are smiling. can you relate to this? what happens in co vague that the children are now back at school for the most part, and not necessarily behaving the same way they were back in january 2020. yes i, well the behavior has gotten a little more a lot more extreme. 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 cove 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 through the common thread throughout the comments is mental health. i think being stuck at home was bad for mental
5:38 pm
health. yeah. robina, i'm wondering what difference you are saying in either your teaches that your teaching and nurturing, or the children that they are teaching because of cove it in because of the lockdown and some parts about that. how to really extensive locked out. that kids couldn't getting to school teachers, couldn't getting to school athena. 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 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 an, in a strikingly 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, jay, so was personally as well as professionally. we had
5:39 pm
a lot of salary cuts. we had teachers who were breadwinners and look, 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 rate at the same time, you know, crack those jokes, pull the kids up for 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 called 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?
5:40 pm
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 of 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. how did and a lot of finger point, simona, how did, how did you do 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,
5:41 pm
millennial colleagues stepped up to the plate and kind of lead the tech. ah, thank goodness for millennials. lydia can 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 and even the states, um, you cake a, some kids didn't have laptops. what will you dealing with in the township? to be honest with you, it was really a strategy for me. and as a case is actually happening. for example, we had to open our case and also to open somewhat fruitful. i went in there because of who said that they did not
5:42 pm
show up for them to do them online. so i mean not even have samples before that coming from the best buy and they didn't. oh, i can say funny. so one story a was a tool tool to have time also to i'm in a really big issue, a whole issue or see if it came a bad before faculty to find that this one is my home and i have already moved it. so i remember one time with that and we'd love to hear one metal, but we have to try to get what i have to come to school for for monday. but as again, maybe as a friend,
5:43 pm
and we're going to move in with them to imagine when at home as well, they moved off from the school. so i e. b. so we had to prevent an entrance and then and a minute that we have to get to the week open to meet protocol. so we try to push ya like that. so it isn't in 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
5:44 pm
talked to a couple of teachers as the irish national teachers organization in ireland and in principal, a roster is in high divide in india, they both have some interesting solutions. as ellison, i think if 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 sco management teams that we have for, you know, a really strong school management team is necessary to deliver quality education. particularly in a primary assessing. 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 and timings and, you know, work from home. so basically a lot more flexibility has been given a regarding their work. timing's o 2 to rule solid suggestions as teaching. alice, can i ask you how many hours he teach?
5:45 pm
robina really management. she doesn't teach much. i'm sure. yes, i would delegate, 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 dad really, you know, shaped their work place. that was it, they're a smartphone was their device. they could, you know, in the classes and it was so hard for those because they 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 part of that smartphone like not come home right after you finish work,
5:46 pm
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, and them again come back recharged. i under 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 few hours. so that we can actually just have a life. i have a family and family type. yes, one of the main issues with teacher burned out, i believe,
5:47 pm
is all the free labor that we're expected to do. and it increased like double 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 frijoles 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 you valuable. ah, that's a great question. the pandemic also brought to our attention as teachers that we
5:48 pm
were seen more as babysitters for the economy to function. 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 as 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, i say it's only 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 teacher's 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,
5:49 pm
you're going to say, well, the very next day, i don't know if anybody could last one day with 1st grade as right. especially after the pandemic. right now, do you say lydia and simona? yeah. lydia let's, let's talk about these. how to make your teaching life will teaching career better? what would you need as the suggestions that came from out, teacher community management, better management, just getting those classroom smaller 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 your work, and 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 need to minimize people surveyed,
5:50 pm
i can get you the best teaching. ringback in how so you find that you will have a trial. i will classes mostly you'll, you'll laugh minus will have 50 age limits in one and the baby. this issue also says the stand and the there is also a how do you know that out with a specific time. so we'll find that now you have to deal with the book was still going good once. i'm all in one more space, which means you have to deal with things before it be an a bad thing to watch. you have to teach it
5:51 pm
at the study in that count. she's starting with an issue number that i don't know what a good back man can do, but the issue number is a challenge for educator and she's been out before classes. it was a one of a or the other site. and then, you know, with the on the other back. so really what i see educators are we need, we need to more of all what and then what is actually happening is trained on how to deal with their, with your all time to make up or anything like
5:52 pm
that. what do you think? that's what it may be. so you have to come in and get to see how find your own way. maybe you all need to come down with you to, to get on how to get it right. yeah. that was made by less because teacher would be given or would it be taken to or where and what by it was it was meant in that there was, it was about maybe a in and so on. oh, we need that media that the idea too much documentation, having teachers in my family, i know that teachers around the world shout this to 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 gonna putting in some thoughts here that you in slide educators. thank
5:53 pm
you very much for 1st for sharing this with you, bella korean with us, but a career is on youtube right now. and she suggest government should ensure how teachers mental health and other needs shipping, taking care of. they are challenges and overwork. yes, said 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 as 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 recommend that the government sends more funds to schools so that they can hire more stuff. and we also recommended the adoption of professional development training that had elements of mindfulness and company to behavioral strategies. because this has been shown to be very successful in helping
5:54 pm
teachers me to get stress and burn out. if there's any way that government can support teachers through mental health, days and higher pay, i truly believe that that would really help teachers. but overall, the teachers are definitely thinking about their students all the time and they love, they dropped 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,
5:55 pm
get skilled and also pace yourself. learn to say no to things when you have too much in your plate. and that's what i've done to, i think it's important and to be sure teachers, we're peaches can't do it alone. thing the school 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 crazed up, pay him crazy, but so good. not arranged at abilene i, 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. have a, 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 as 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,
5:56 pm
especially when your face the 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 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 okay 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? oh, okay. just there with a u. c o l l y, at me m. if i can relate to my experience is that you do something that
5:57 pm
a lot more with less in my mind and, and get a book that a lot more. i'd like to read more for yeah. and, and also another thing that i think it asked me, and i don't focus on here on teaching her yet. i'm also involved in we make empowerment program. so we had a better idea of were more of a program or maybe we had and we had a b, b. i love that. i love this and now things i'm not show a picnic is going to fix the moans working. but when the weather is nice, it definitely lives the spirits robina and lydia, and simona and all of the teachers on youtube. you are amazing. i salute you. thank
