“Post-COVID” students are different. If you haven’t been teaching in a classroom in the last 3 years, you don’t understand. Please listen to teachers.

I keep seeing people criticizing teachers, saying we are “indoctrinating” students. I can’t even get my students to take out their materials and listen when I’m giving them the answers to the test. But sure, ok.

School districts not accepting all of a teacher’s years of service on the pay scale when they move to a new district is a scam.

The individuals who understand the "COVID generation" of students the most are not current researchers, policymakers, or administration. It's the educators who are teaching the COVID generation NOW. They are living through it every day.

Life of a teacher: During math class I answered 2 phone calls,gave a student a bandaid,took a water gun away, found 3 Ss assignments that they couldn’t find in their folder, & asked a student to stop barking like a dog. All within the first 5 mins of class. I. AM. Exhausted 😮‍💨

We don’t talk enough about how one of the difficult parts of being a teacher is that some of us are by ourselves w/classes of 30+ Ss. So when 1 or multiple students are having a bad day, we have to choose between those few Ss or the other 20+ Ss ready to learn.

Class size matters!! Today in one of my classes, I only had 18 students. Even with the craziness of the rainy day, we were able to get through so much of the math lesson. I was able to help more students too. This should be the norm.

@Nieb77 As a teacher, I don’t want to do work over my break, so I don’t expect my students to do any either. That is disappointing & unrealistic to expect students to do that much work. I think some teachers are feeling pressure of standardized testing coming up, but this is not the way.

In my opinion, homework should be optional. This has worked well for me in my classroom for many years. If students, or their parents, want the extra practice it’s provided for each lesson. That has limited the stress for everyone, including me.
