Teacher calls it quits after nearly 30 years, saying today’s TikTok-obsessed 9th graders are the worst ever

A teacher who has been working in classrooms for almost 30 years says this year’s ninth grade students are the hardest group she has ever taught. She points to serious problems with respect and focus that she has never seen before.

The teacher shared her thoughts on Reddit, saying that over her career she has taught many different types of classes. Some years were good, and some were tough.
