People still say: “Teachers knew how to handle classrooms back then.”

But classrooms were different back then. Respect was different back then. Society was different back then.

Teachers were expected to teach. Now teachers are expected to teach, parent, counsel, document, manage behavior, solve mental health struggles, raise scores, answer emails at all hours, and somehow still avoid burning out.

At some point, society quietly started handing schools responsibilities that used to belong elsewhere.

And teachers absorbed it all.

The problem is not that teachers became weaker. The job became heavier. Much heavier.

So here’s the real question:

What do you think has changed the most over the last 30-40 years?

And how much more can we realistically expect schools and teachers to take on before the system completely breaks?
