Or are parents right? Because the accusation that teachers aren't actually teaching has hit a nerve — and educators are firing back. If you know a child who needs help with literacy or math, visit us at: www.jonayves.com Parents are saying it more openly than ever. That kids are sitting in classrooms for hours every day and coming home without being able to show what they learned. That assignments feel like busywork. That when they ask their child what they did in school the answer is nothing. And they're starting to say out loud what a lot of them have been thinking quietly — that some teachers just aren't teaching. Teachers are fed up with that narrative. They'll point to everything that happens before a single lesson even starts. Planning. Differentiation for kids at wildly different levels. Managing behavior in classrooms that are harder to run than they've ever been. Dealing with administrative requirements that eat into instructional time. And doing all of it while being publicly criticized by parents who have no visibility into what the actual job looks like. Both of those experiences are real. And both of them are happening at the same time in different classrooms across the same school system. What makes this conversation hard to resolve is that "they don't teach" often means very different things depending on who's saying it. For some parents it means genuine concern that their child isn't progressing. For others it's frustration that got directed at the nearest available target. And for the teachers hearing it, it rarely comes with enough context to know which one it is. I've worked with thousands of families from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The gap between what parents think is happening in classrooms and what teachers are actually managing is wider than most people on either side realize. Are parents right, or are teachers getting an unfair label? Leave a comment. Credits: @sageshyann @5th_with_ms.y @katiejo._ @whitemonsterfanclub @jahnifestdestiny @kriswags3 @deemrsbee on TikTok
