4 minutes. 4 whole minutes after I post grades before a kid messages me asking me to round up to the next grade. Said “it would be greatly appreciated”. I would’ve great appreciated you coming in for extra help but that didn’t happen.
Had a student drink 6 chocolate milks and a bag of Doritos for lunch…he can’t figure out why his stomach hurts…and he has a hockey game tonight. #kidsaredumb
Dear parent who “swears” they won’t let their kid cheat if I send a test home,
Fine, go ahead, except I know you’ll let them cheat. Which tells them it’s ok to cheat. Which means they’re never leaving your basement when they graduate because they never learned anything.
@HSTeachProbs It’s free to them so they don’t respect it. They assume they can get another free one. If you were going to charge $20 for it they would keep it for a lot longer.
@thereadingzone Dear Parent,
No. I will do what I believe is necessary for my classroom to create a positive environment where all students feel welcome, even when discussing difficult topics. Sincerely,
All Teachers.
School ended yesterday. Student I haven’t heard from all grading period
“Can I have an extension until Monday to finish, I swear I’ll get it all done!”
Me...
The end of school is next week. Student messaged me today. “Can you send me a link to join the class? I’m going to get all math done this week.”
I’m not kidding. This kid is JUST STARTING THE CLASS WITH SCHOOL ENDING NEXT WEEK!
Legit had a kid email me Friday.
“I’m gonna start doing the work for the class and get everything done.”
Me: “ok good luck with that”
(There’s 4 weeks left in school and he has 5 units of work to do.)
Dear Ss, it’s spring break. Your emails and messages will be ignored or unread until next week. If you’re mad. I don’t care. Maybe respond when I ask you to do things sooner. This is on you.
