Teachers are reaching their breaking point in the ChatGPT classroom

Teachers have a lot to get off their chests.

Helping a classroom full of students learn to read, write, and work on their own is already a big job.

Add chatbots that can do the homework — or create the lesson it’s based on — and there’s even more to work through.

Some are taking those frustrations to TikTok and Reddit , and finding plenty of people to commiserate with.

Self-described teachers share accounts of students who need help getting through a sentence, or who hand in assignments they can’t explain.

Some teachers for advice, others just need to vent.

The discussions can get heated, but some of the posts drawing attention are more personal — teachers admitting how hard their jobs have become.

In a TikTok posted a week ago , first-grade teacher Carol Fernandez broke down in tears as she talks about her students' struggles — along with her own.

"Clearly theyre not studying at home.

Theyre failing." She gave an example of an exam, stating that only 1 student passed out of 34, and also telling a story about how they can't write words correctly, even when copying them from a board.

"It's exhausting," she says.

"Its almost scary.

And then you start questioning yourself, thinking, is it me?" Teachers and parents in the comments tell her she isn’t alone, sharing their own concerns about students and their children falling behind.
