@balancedmindsedu: When your first job doesn't come with unlimited reminders and second chances. 😂 “Wait, nobody called to remind me I had a shift?!” Scaffolding matters! We model, remind, and support students, but we also need to gradually step back as they build independence. Kids deserve grace, appropriate accommodations, AND opportunities to learn responsibility. Because time management and follow-through don't magically appear at graduation. Teachers, are we finding the right balance between support and accountability? 👇

Stop all the back and forth with them. Set a consequence and be done with it. Signed, a HS teacher who set due dates and sticks to them. ACCOUNTABILITY. NO CODDLING.

People don't think they have to follow rules anymore, whether it's work or in public!

It's supposed to be humor, but it's literally the future.

Working retail is so frustrating because they will literally walk away from a customer if they’ve been disrespected at all (as a manager, I actually got “they were looking at me funny” what?)

We had an employee much like this. I was told that her grandma was going to be calling and I better have a good explanation. When grandma called I asked and who are you? What position do you hold within our organization? What exactly does that mean in our business environment? Grandma didnt like me either

It’s going to be a very serious problem. People have no idea the kind of behavior we’re pushing through school. We are looking at the collapse of society and people don’t even know it.

Expect this from now on. Students are not held accountable because funding is affected.

This is called a no-call, no-show. It's a form of quitting.

I did a no call no show on accident. no one showed me where the schedule was and it was my first "regular" job (I coached gymnastics before and our schedules were different) I apologized and figured out my schedule and it never happened again.
