The Biggest Bully in School: Why Public Education Is Failing in America | Short Documentaries

Among the biggest reasons is the rabid far right constantly demeaning teachers, calling them 'groomers' etc. Of course, chronic underfunding has it's effect as well.

But Dennis knows this, he just isn't going to admit it when he has an agenda to push.

Division of violence caused by Democrats

This explains so much of my public school experience.

Ahahahaha never seen something this pathetic. Seeing the american definition of "left leaning" is always hillarious. By this definition half of my teachers (definitely the better half) would have been outright communists😂

Didnt a teacher union member go to Ukraine recently?

The problem is; the type of teachings this video is mentioning IS happening in private schools as well. In fact, I know for a FACT the political, CRT, DIE ideologies IS happening at an international school in Indiana yet they try and hide it by not being transparent about the curriculum and what topics are being taught

2.5M views with 2.7K likes...something is wrong here. Well, at least millions of leftists have at least watched some of this video. My children are in a small Christian school because I couldn't imagine standing before my creator and have to answer why I gave my children over to satan's dwelling place for 13+ years!!!

as a european my reactions is WTF ??????

PragerU is a very right leaning advocacy group. In other words...biased. And it's not even a real university to begin with. In other words...hogwash

Agreed on all the info about the evil AEP…the teachers union should be dismantled…they function EXACTLY like the Catholic Church in dealing with bad teachers….However, to truly understand the width and breadth of the evil in education, and just how public education came about, who put the most money out to get it started (it wasn’t our government), and what it’s origins were, one MUST read the works of John Taylor Gatto….May he R.I.P., his work is unparalleled….but I warn you now, you will not be the same after you read his books…

Kids today say the LGBT students are the bullies in school today.

Teaching Anti-Americanism in Public Schools certainly does not help future adult U.S. citizens!

Teachers" unions are made of teachers. If you hate unions, you hate teachers. That tracks for conservatives trying to destroy public education.

Rapper Biggie Smalls was right.

If you have a disabled kid you need to homeschool there’s no exceptions

Congress needs to amend the NLRA to specifically exclude teachers from collective bargaining.

Defund the police, but free the violent fellas.

The KKK was ok in schools in the 1920's and the BLM KKK is cool in schools in the 2020's.

The Lockdowns by the Teacher's Unions Erased two decades of learning. The Wuhan Virus only gave the Unions an idea.

To correct CNN's RACIST Headline" Poor Black, Hispanic and white students suffered the SAME\most when the left\Teacher's Union shut the schools down. Middle class Black, Hispanic and white students did not sufferer as much, but all of these groups suffered the SAME! Prager U let that racist headline slip by without a fact Check Correction.

Everyone involved is responsible for our failed education system. Teachers, Unions, Administration, Students, Parent(s). All have different motives and agendas. Quality education is not a priority for anyone.

Unions are mafia protection rackets and should be abolished, especially in the public sector.

The wealthy racists and their lapdog Republican Party want to privatize schools, prisons, and strip child labor laws bare to get cheap labor. The unbridled greed, corruption and menace of the super wealthy and the Republican Party are inhumane and criminal. Vote Republicans out, stop privatization of schools and prisons, stop the dismantling of pro consumer and environmental regulations, and tax big business and the super wealthy fairly. Wake up America the Republicans and super wealthy are bent upon making you slaves.

Public school was my worst bully. When my classmates kept bullying me, the schools did f*ck all. Teachers blamed me no matter what I did.

My life therapy, when bullying fails before bullies become spoiled and fascist own humanity.

So the problem is teachers. Noted. I noticed that the behaviors of parents and students wasn't mentioned at all. But okay.

just like law enforcement protects guys like Derek Chauvin. btw ironic how we like my racist white teachers who used treat Black and Latino kids bad with slapping and hair pulling as good. Nice job Dennis

amazing stuff, very important topics disgussed here. SOLID!

I had a teacher who was on tenure. He would enter class, not do any work or teach us anything, if we would tell him that we would protest and tell the principle he would scoff and say "I am on tenure, you can't do anything to me" and he was right. We learnt nothing from him and he was outed as a pedophile a few years after I had him as a teacher. Very disturbing

I completely agree. The public education has many problems. And unions have many problems as well. But can we all stop acting like this video was produced by a completely objective source? Prager U is not affiliated with any university or other academic organization. It is a political organization with a specific right wing agenda. This video does not provide a comprehensive exploration of the problems, their causes, or the options for addressing them. The decline of the public education system is tied to the exodus of manufacturing jobs that began in the 1970s. Without the same base of middle-class families able to afford to vote for increases in school taxes, decade after decade, we’ve been asking teachers to do more with less. The students are paying the price, but Prager U is only interested in convincing it’s constituency that “the other guys” are to blame. If we aren’t smart enough to spot a wolf in sheep‘s clothing, like Prager U, then we don’t stand a chance of ever working together enough to make this nation, a place we want to leave to our grandchildren.

Witches Roald Dahl

Teachers unions are training teachers to be racist... how does anyone take prager seriously? How does prager have 3million subscribers? Check out information from another source and see if its less biased

Ok people...think...does anyone know what happened to the middle class when labor unions were all broken up... this is just propoganda against the teachers union, in attempts to pay them less and treat them worse than they already do...

and yet many decide to blame gen Z for their inability to answer simple questions. an improvement in education is where that starts.

Who the hell cares where Americans rank in reading and math?! At least they're being taught gender equality, anti-whiteism and how to slaughter babies!!!

Excellent video. Charter schools are not that much different than public schools.

Unfortunately this video clearly shows that the USA is in a soft form of Communism

Screw the teachers unions and all unions. The protect mediocre and poor performing employees while holding back the stars.

My son started failing at school in kindergarten. Year after year I expressed concern that he was falling behind. The schools repeatedly lied and cheated to cover up the fact that he was behind, rather than help him like I wanted.

They don't care about your child's success.

You want to get rid of teacher unions. Here is how you do it. Give teachers insurance in the event they are sued by parents. That insurance protection is the main reason teachers join the union.

I don't understand why people are surprised that teacher unions look out for teachers first. Are they also surprised that steel worker unions look out for steel workers first?

I mena our public education system is basically just a glorified babysitter. I highly doubt a lot of parents wanted schools to reopen because they were worried about their child's education

Lmao I was sitting here face palming at this video due to the fact that they kept making one factually incorrect statement after another and went to check who made it and why am I not surprised to see it's pragerU? I literally clicked this to learn some new facts because I am not an expert on this subject but even I was able to spot and pick apart all the BS you guys try to spit at your viewers. You are so desperate and pathetic I swear.

Also defunding does not mean "abolish" so nice try attempting to mislead your viewers with that one. Prager U has some sort of strange obsession with being on the wrong side of every single issue known to man. If there is an important issue facing our society and most people who educate themselves on the matter know the general right direction and solutions for it, pragerU will pretty much 100% of the time take the opposite position. It's absurd.

The failure of public education shows that transparency is long overdue. Cameras are a good idea for police officers, so why not for the classroom?

The biggest bully in the public school system is the Republican Party and the right-wing fascists who support and comprise it. You destroyed public education with inadequate funding and ridiculous regulations and now say, "Oh look. Public education doesn't work." Shame on you. Shame on all right-wing fascists - even the ones who do not think they are fascists. You are traitors to our country.

I homeschooled years ago and would definitely do it now. I have tried to encourage my son and his wife to homeschool their children...my first grandchild is attending a charter school. I have a question to those who choose to rely on the public school system - What would happen if a coalition of parents across the country in every school district took their children out of school for five days at the same time period during the school year? BTW - I worked in the public system for 10 years and would never send my children or grandchildren to public school in this mess.

William J Cumero Vs The California Teachers Association. My father over 35 years HS Civics Salinas Valley California. Went to the Supreme Court. My father won. Taxation without representation. What the hecks happened simce ?

We had to be bused to Catholic School because his daughters weren't safe in the Public School. Took 8 years.

Bunch of lies.
