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. But she has never felt as frustrated as she does now. She said that while there are some great kids in her classes, most students show very little respect and cannot stay focused on their work.
