1/5 Bad teaching doesn't just happen. Nor is it usually due to defects in individual teachers. Rather, it is driven - indeed, practically demanded - by systemic factors.
For example...
I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!”
With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/
@fever_us sent a request for a partial refund through email due to zoom fail and completing challenge w/o it- postponement was not option. Was sent “thanks for understanding”. That doesn’t look like a refund…
What matters isn’t how well a teacher holds students’ attention; it's whether a teacher knows enough about how learning happens to stop being the center of attention.
The entire school year should have been a gap year filled with learning and devoid of grading. This would have been the perfect time to leave A-F grades behind and shift how we measure mastery and success.
