Teachers are quitting and retiring early because they are fed up with lying students, entitled parents, weak administration, grade inflation, and outright defiant behavior that’s making the job unbearable. In this eye-opening interview, veteran educator Steve Burgess reveals the shocking challenges teachers face daily, from out-of-control student behavior to toxic school policies that make teaching nearly impossible. With 25 years of experience in the classroom, Steve shares real stories that every teacher, parent, and administrator needs to hear.
💡 Inside This Interview:
✅ Out-of-Control Student Behavior – Aggressive students spitting at teachers, shoving, storming out of class, and facing zero consequences. Even the worst-behaved students still get to go on field trips!
✅ Lies & False Allegations – A shocking false accusation and the constant lying from students with no accountability.
✅ Toxic Administration & Micromanagement – No discipline plan, no support, and overbearing control that makes teaching even harder.
✅ Combative & Apathetic Parents – Parents who defend bad behavior, make excuses, and even threaten teachers instead of holding their children accountable.
✅ The Collapse of School Culture – Coddling, lack of discipline, and a system that prioritizes protecting bad behavior over real education.
✅ No Incentives to Stay – Low pay, no promotions, and a profession that punishes dedication instead of rewarding it.
🚨 BONUS STORY – YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS:
After the interview, Steve shared an unbelievable personal experience that he forgot to mention on camera. In 2017, after two years of teaching at a charter school, he and his colleagues were never paid for their last five months of work—despite promises from the administration. The school eventually shut down due to fire code violations and budget deficits, but the shock didn’t end there. A few months later, the administrator had the audacity to ask him to work for her again at a different facility! Needless to say, Steve’s answer was a resounding "NO!"
