They should also include hazard pay for the teacher living daily with the imminent threat of gun death on a daily basis, which is also a uniquely USA thing that doesn't happen in other countries Our country is less civilized than some 3rd world countries and we act like we are better? We need to get a grip and grow up

Who will we compare ourselves to after Russia invades and occupies Finland? We need to stop comparing ourselves to small countries who have little to nothing in common with the States Thanks 😊👍🇺🇸

The rest of the world is not just finland
Comment from : SkyThunderXY

Another thing to consider is that Finland is a homogeneous nation while America is multicultural Finnish culture prizes education, family, and community while American culture is mainly consumerism and does not hold the value of family or identity European culture is far superior to that of decaying American capitalist multiculturalism
Comment from : Nik Rose

Finland is over 86 Finnish with universal finnish culture Japan is over 97 homogenous South Korea over 95 And it's not just ethnic homogeny that matters, but the culture The culture difference between the US's Mississippi and Alaska is enormous Living standards, family practices and culture vary widely I'm a teacher, and family cohesion (or lack thereof) is the major contributor to success in the classroom -- that and functional, not bloated Admin We could cut out 60 of our admin and get better test results, be more heard, use our time better, and give discipline that actually works Yes, being a teacher in the US is rough, but comparing ourselves to Finland simply won't work
Comment from : Mmmm Dddd

The premise of this video is flawed Teachers are leaving for a multitude of reasons Some leave because of parents, some for classroom behaviors, some for what they have to teach curriculum, etc Too many curriculum’s so not educate but indoctrinate We need to return to classical education and parents need to parent, not raise undisciplined children Teachers need respect from their students not threats from parents

I love Finland
Comment from : Tuba

? HIgh schools in South Korea starts at 8:00 and ends at 22:00 lol Well, there are still many people who want to teach cause at least they can have a job Teachers are payed less and teaching environment is awful but it's still less crazier than unemployment rate😂

Comment from : •Pinkopalplays•

I am a retired Canadian high school teacher I was making around $100, 000 (Cdn) per year (with superb provincial health care and additional health insurance, large numbers of sick days and 2 personal days) We were contracted to teach 3 classes per day, 70 minutes each Frequently, time tables would include 2 or even 3 sections of the same course, reducing prep required Extra-curricular participation (coaching, clubs, etc) was entirely voluntary The really striking difference between our schools and the USA is the freedom to choose the content of courses, especially in subjects such as English With no provincial exams, I was able to teach the literature that I chose (in collaboration with my colleagues)

Comment from : Mr Fomiatti

This story was produced 3 years ago, before further attacks on teachers and book banning from the right I predict the US won't be able to find teachers or get them into university programs soon
Comment from : Sherrie Thames

The answer is simple ,take care of your teachers financially,and offer them free healthcare,paid vacation time and they'll make sure all of our children are properly educated!brAmerica is doing things a bit backwards
Comment from : Bianca

Teacher pay is the smallest issue when it comes to student achievement br The issue at had it the quality of teachers and subject matter used in public schoolsbr This point is proven through the comparisons of private vs public standardsbrI wish home schooling was a more viable option for the poor Until government stops spending, and get inflation in controlbr Having both parents working utterly will reinforce poor households reliance on poor quality public schools

Finland had 5 million people A lot of these countries don't have to educate as many people as the United States has to, which leads to wide variety Take private schools results
Comment from : Ethan Pocorello

Very educational video on why I won't become a teacher in the USA
Comment from : Justice AMW

Part of this is that Millennials were advised not to go into teaching because there aren’t enough jobs and the pay is terrible They forgot to account for all the Baby Boomers retiring around the same time
Comment from : Sarah Schopick

Nice try us students vs Finland students is why teachers leave in droves
Comment from : no Name

I wouldn't take 30k dollars per year to get shot in a mass shooting either
Comment from : Elizabeth Bellecoeur

Teachers are leaving because students and parents are abusive towards teachers There is a strong culture of entitlement where parents care more about grades and transcripts than if the kids learns anything I saw so many parents bully teachers into giving their kids As when their kids do no work

There is lots more differences, Sofia also doesn't have thousands of dollars in student dent racked up, doesn't have to worry about getting shot for half the pay
Comment from : DjXilma

I wish they also focused on the teaching styles of the two countries Kinda shocked they didn’t seeing how they’re so different from each other
Comment from : Jess Irvington

You forgot to mention that Finland is a largely homogenous society and does not have the huge number of immigrants that we have in the US Students that have to learn in English when that is not their native language are going to have more of a difficult time You compare "students in America" with other countries That means the average across the whole country, including places like Alabama and Massachusetts If you were to look at education in just Massachusetts, the scores would be right up there with those other countries
Comment from : Howard Roark

I wonder how do demographics play into this The us has more achool age children than many countries
Comment from : Benny Balderrama

Maybe if teachers and students didn't have to worry about losing their life just to get an education Lets start the gun talk!!!

How do the benefits teachers receive in the US compare to these countries?

Americans oversimplifying and generalising Europe, yet again
Comment from : Michael

"American schools generally spend a lot more on SECURITY and other non-instructional costs than schools in other countries" Teachers in Usa are in the combat zone while most other teachers are not What are the rules on guns in Finland?
Comment from : Maggie Berg

Well, the low paid for teachers happens around the world, not only in developed countries But, in some Asian countries like VIetnam or China, teachers can earn lots of money thanks to teaching some extracurriculae or after-school classes Plus, recently Chinese goverment imposed a policy for banning after-school classes
Comment from : Esports NewS TV

the lack of teachers isn't the only problem, the US's whole education system has so much useless filler crammed into it (I was born and raised in the US so I'm speaking from experience)brbrUnited States K-12 is mostly busywork that doesn't teach any worthwhile or life skills I was constantly asking myself (and occasionally the teacher) "why are we learning this" and "when will this lesson come in handy outside of class" the vast majority of time, the answer (if I received one) was: "because it's in the curriculum" or "because this is what we've been doing for years" or "stop complaining about the assignment" to put it lightly, it did not give me hope for my educational futurebrbrback when I was still in K-12, I would occasionally ask older people I knew for help on some assignment for school, and almost every time they did not know the answer or how to help if I asked them when they use said assignment I was working on in their lives, they replied "I haven't done that since I graduated" Now that I'm one of those people looking back at K-12, I say the same thing to people who still haven't finished high schoolbrbryou would think that it would be in the best interests of the students, teachers, and the country as a whole to give its future generations meaningful and worthwhile education, but the culture in the US is to not question the education the teachers and my mother would usually get annoyed and respond negatively every time I questioned the methods of the education system it's almost as if it offended them for some reason it seems like the US isn't keen to accepting feedback or criticism regarding its education I feel like asking questions is a habit everyone should have, but maybe that's not welcome herebrbranyway, I'm glad to finally be out of that system good luck to anyone still suffering in US K-12

"like security"brI wonder how we could solve that one
Comment from : ChrisDatCoolGuy

probably because teachers here still only get paid minimum wage, have to work after hours, and are in a constant state of fear of being murdered from school shooters
Comment from : Molly Darby

Are the number of US students increasing as stated at start? The graph had 2010-2020 as projected I see so many sources saying US demographics will lead to fewer students - and that being a factor in teaching being a driving issue

Hey YouTube you're not very? Smart Yeah? Dude people You can get paid to record something out of get beat up Numbers is everything But it certainly does seem as if people are being laboratorized and forced to give b*b****/b as their life now

Of they reduce teaching hours, it would be good for the students as well
Comment from : metalheadlass

I am from Texas and have been teaching overseas for almost 10 years I will NEVER teach in the US Free housing, benefits, plenty of savings - I'd be living in the streets if I had the same job in the US
Comment from : Isaiah Baggett

How about the fact that teachers can get in trouble for teaching facts some parents don't want their kids to know?
Comment from : C T

well in China teacher is a comparatively good job which is stable and well-paid However my senior high teacher has to work about 11 hours a day, for we students spend 15 hours per day at school studying🥲 it's a kinda hard work
Comment from : losty西西

It likely doesn't help that you have a chance of being shot either
Comment from : Blue

What makes Sophia stay is the kids themselves I know 3 teachers who quit, all of them said it's the parents and they 0 room for bad behavior
Comment from : Ryan Steve

This barely covers the tip of the iceberg, don't forget to mention all the ridiculous activism that has plagued the field of education Being a teacher is difficult throughout all of America (north-central-south) While the US suffers the situation presented in the video, in countries like Mexico domestic employees and many of the blue-collar trades earn well above the average professor Private schools used to be a great option in the past Modern-day institutions now expect teachers to lay down their life for a job that will not even cover rent Teaching should be as highly paid as medicine and other "top tier" professions
Comment from : profecheko

Also some teachers may leave because they don’t agree with what they’re teaching

Comment from : Annajoyce

I am a hopeful future teacher I was working retail this one day, and I was helping this lady pick out a new outfit She really really liked this beautiful blue sweater that was around $45 US She asked me to hold it for her for 24 hrs because she was about to get paid the next day She leaned in and whispered to me "I'm ashamed to say I work in Education"brShe could've been a bus driver, a custodian, a teacher, administrator, what have you But I will never forget what she said to me She never came back to buy the sweater
Comment from : LivLyfe

wait everyone spends 4-5hrs at school? Or is this just the teaching part? when I was a pupil and a student, we go to school everyday from 7am to 5pm

I don't know where you got the source, but as a South Korean, other countries have worse environment for teachers But the difference is that teacher is a stable job here, so thats why people wants to be teachers

Teaching in the United States is an awful job
Comment from : Bart Mix

Finland definitely could be a useful model to help improve US education We spend $ but not teaching salaries
Comment from : Brian Fitch

I'd be scared for my life to teach in public schools in my city I was mugged by some middle school kids with a gun while on a walk once and I can only imagine the abuse and mental anguish their teachers went through Increasing teacher salaries cannot change this issue
Comment from : Maggie

Our education system also isn't about actually educating anymore but preparing for tests so the school can still function US schools teach how to cram, memorize, and forget because most of the topics hold little relevance to our prefered area of academic interests and moreso a scattershot across the board to justify keeping doors open This can definitely be attributed to our nation's attitude towards public education itself For example much of our conservative party encourages private or charter schools that would in practice create barriers to education for lower class citizens and also encourage educational institutions that might have a religious or pro-capitalist curriculum
Comment from : Burning snow

I think shootings in the usa don’t help it either
Comment from : Olaf Olczak

It's probably also the fact that US teachers have to be drill sergeants and crisis managers as well if I had to teach kids how to survive a mass shooting every week, I'd quit too
Comment from : lumenardens

In Belgium I know several teachers that stopped teaching They all stopped for the same reasons Aside from low pay, they say the students and their parents have become so disrespectful towards them It makes it not fun to be a teacher anymore This stands in stark contrast with my girlfriend, she is a teacher in Indonesia The pay is relatively good, considering the average pay of all Indonesians The biggest difference is the huge amount of respect they receive from everyone, not only students and parents If people know she is a teacher, they will treat her with the utmost respect Kinda like we do with doctors
Comment from : Mettekes DG

I have a master's in elem ed, was certified and spent three years as a substitute teacher to "gain experience" and was never hired My peers liked having me fill in for them but it wasn't in my favor to have my own classroom I even considered teaching when I moved to a different state and was disgusted on how much was spent on administrators and not where it was needed most I still wish to be a teacher but I am not fond of the bureaucracy of it Now I work for a private retail company and buy stock for my retirement
Comment from : Katie Myers

If America listened to it's people smh
Comment from : alli

This is wrong Teachers in South Korea do not work 6 hrs 48 min per day I don't know what source you are using for this High school teachers in SK typically start at 8am and most are there until 10pm when the students finally leave Even Korean elementary school teachers don't have a workday that short!

I’m from Mexico, and I think the situation is sorta similar to the US or even worst
Comment from : Tessa Erazo

The US educational system is also pretty much broken It is full of neuromyths such as "VAK learning styles" and "multiple intelligences" Finnish teachers don't even assign homework until 6th grade or later

I made the decision in 4th grade that I didn’t want to be a teacher Even though teaching is natural for me, I never wanted to deal with the American school system, public or private I do not regret my choice

The PISA numbers are completely out of context: what does a 1000 pt increase actually mean? Looks like the writer of this vid didn't do so well on that test
Comment from : Peter Aleksandrovich

so are we just not going to mention how school shootings are ALMOST exclusively an american problem?
Comment from : Neko Tatum

The kids can also be disrespectful, causing some teachers to break down and quit Schools need better discipline in the US, or maybe it's just a society thing 😕
Comment from : uniique_xo

People aren't talking about how while there's problems with the school system, it's a cultural problem Being disrespectful to teachers, to parents, in the USA you are supposed to look out for yourself There isn't trust and respect to authority, in many other cultures this is ingrained at a young age This extends not only to teachers but to parents and older adults as well
Comment from : RedCoyote

I'm a teacher, and I've taught in public and private schools in the US and in several other countries, to say the least The issue about hours, respect and pay are so relative In the US I worked up to 12 hours a day, with 8 of them being teaching hours I barely had enough time for taking care of myself My pay was the lowest in the US, but the highest in my state Everyone in society respected me for being a teacher, gave me gifts or discounts, and thanked me personally for being a teacher brbrThere are lots of other factors that make it difficult to teach in the US The biggest one I saw is that each school system is run on the whims of a small group of people who mainly concern themselves with state test scores, funding and/or not getting shut down for a failing school grade Another is the lack of family support that students have outside of school and the trauma they bring into the classroom that supersedes learning They pack 33 students into a classroom with random educational models, administration and management So guess who doesn't want to be underpaid, working 12 hours a day, worried about personal safety, struggling with the multitude of students' personal problems , and unappreciated by the admin? The teachers So they quit after an average of 2 years

The US can start improving its education system by ceasing to elect republicans into public offices
Comment from : Black Mage

As someone who studied sports etc to work with children as a PE teacher Did this for 10 years of my life and I'm studying again because there's no money involved and these days you basically get paid little to no money to end up taking care of kids who are rude and have 0 respect I never knew it would go from enjoying kids and teaching them new tricks and laughs to having to discipline them 24/7
