Young Ukrainian Teacher Unveils Ageism and Toxicity in Public Schools
A recent video shared by a young Ukrainian teacher, known as Tinaྀིྀི on TikTok, has sparked discussion regarding the professional environment within public schools. In her candid address, the educator detailed the significant workload faced by teachers, particularly those with additional class responsibilities. However, the central theme of her message revolved around a more troubling aspect: a pervasive culture of ageism and "toxicity" among her colleagues. "I work in a regular school, and teachers really work hard," she stated in the video, acknowledging the dedication required for the profession. Yet, she quickly shifted to a more critical stance, revealing, "I don't like teachers. Most teachers I've worked with are simply incredible toxic people." She elaborated that while she doesn't expect universal approval from students or parents, she finds it "normal" to not be liked by everyone. The teacher further explained that age appears to be a significant factor in how educators are perceived and treated. She highlighted that younger teachers, despite their qualifications—even possessing multiple higher education degrees—are often dismissed. "You are loved because you are young, and that's it," she recounted, paraphrasing the dismissive attitudes she encounters. "So what if you have three higher educations? All diplomas are bought now." This sentiment, she suggests, indicates a deep-seated issue within the system, which she metaphorically described as a "teacher's parasite or virus." The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to engage with her on the topic.
