I Quit Teaching After 18 Years! A Former Teacher EXPOSES the Real Reason Schools Are Falling Apart

Video Description

Why are so many teachers quitting? Why are teachers so tired and angry? Why are educators leaving after 18 years when they are so close to retirement! Let's talk about it! I sat down with Anthony J. Butler, a former teacher turned speaker and author of "FUMING!: Educators Are Tired and Angry" , to unpack the real reasons passionate educators are walking away from the classroom — or quiet quitting because they feel stuck. Today's guest shared what pushed him out after 18 years: not the students, but the broken leadership, the constant blame placed on teachers, and a complete lack of common sense when it comes to behavior and accountability. 💬 In this episode, we talked honestly about: 📌Administrators who blame teachers instead of modeling expectations 📌The triple workload teachers are given when they ask for help 📌Parents who threaten teachers and fight every consequence 📌Students who are completely apathetic and don’t care about anything 📌The joy and motivation teachers lose as discipline collapses 📌How good students are overlooked because behavior issues consume all of a teacher’s time 📌Why traditional consequences like no recess, no field trips, and no class parties are now off the table 📌How in-school suspension (ISS) has become a joke instead of a deterrent 📌The simple solution no one wants to implement: create alternative settings for chronically disruptive students, and make ISS serious 📌Why most policy makers and school leaders refuse to allow any of that to happen If you’ve worked in education, you know how real this is. If you haven’t, this might be the first time you’ve heard the full truth. 📚 Anthony’s book, FUMING!: Educators Are Tired and Angry → https://amzn.to/3GU6dMm 🌐 Website: https://violenceiprevent.com 🎥 See Anthony in action here: → https://youtu.be/GNXVMSIo3jE This conversation is for every teacher who feels invisible, blamed, or pushed past their limit.
