The American Federation of Teachers said in a report that social media apps have had a negative effect on classrooms.

The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.

    Unfortunately teachers don’t “have to deal with it”

    When they get fed up they quit, and then random unqualified people get hired to fill the needs and they end up being the ones who don’t give a shit either way and spend their day on the phones.

    You won’t get good teachers if the working conditions are shit, and students these days are the main problem creating the shitty working conditions.

      I’d place my bet on administrative bloat hogging too many resources. Making teachers move on to more lucrative professions because teaching isn’t worth all the headaches it entails for what they are bringing home at the end of the day.
