@MichaelSkyer@Teacher_Fulton 4. And then you’re gonna have a whole issue of the accommodation extended time where some students may play the system and ask for it simply to waste time and continue the testing session so they don’t have to go back to their normal classroom.
@MichaelSkyer@Teacher_Fulton 3. Accommodations are designed to help level the playing field and give students the tools and resources to help them do to whatever language learning barrier they may have. How do you think it’s going to keep the rigor for the mainstream students?
@MichaelSkyer@Teacher_Fulton 2. The comment about the enormous cost that would create is a valid point because while it might be outside of your control, why advocate for something that you knowingly know, would further hurt an already way underfunded public school system
@MichaelSkyer@Teacher_Fulton I was an ELL teacher for 10 years and I disagree with giving accommodations to everyone. I think you’re confusing the term accommodations with accessibility features, such as allowing students to highlight the online text, etc.
Interviewed a teacher who left the profession last year.
Why did you resign?
“I have a Master’s degree.
I work really hard.
I love teaching kids and am great at my job.
I do it all for a disgracefully low salary.
All of that and I’ve never felt so disrespected by so many.”
God is writing a beautiful story for you, friend. You can rest peacefully tonight and wake up encouraged knowing He is doing more on your behalf behind the scenes than you could ever imagine.
