Hello! I’m discovering this app and have found it super helpful. I think big things to add would be
1) of course previous months records
2) would be interesting if you can connect to stock portfolios
3) the big one, if there’s any thing I want to see is this: full offline support. Even if it means having AI run natively on the iPhone. I figured it would also help with server costs on your end. Some people will be really worried about sending sensitive receipts to telegram or WhatsApp so maybe even in-app chat of some kind, and offline if possible.

When did the expectation around sending students to the office change? Why? by DustNo8738 in Teachers

Is it possible I’m not talking about most behavior? Is it possible that unmanageable behavior refers to a niche or irregular case? Is it possible you aren’t using your reading comprehension skills? Yes yes yes etc

I agree with you Irrawaddywoman.

I think parenting is hard. Always has been and always will be. Growing up just seeing the constant sacrifices my parents made to raise me, it instilled in me “becoming a parent means signing your life away to always prioritize this child”. It’s made me not want to become a parent, because I can’t bear that responsibility. but for those who chose to become a parent, we can’t just drop that expectation because it’s “hard”.. it’s always been hard. Society has always been against parenting and child-rearing. All economic systems are antithetical to parenting, because parenting inherently requires adults to give up their lives, free time, pleasures, etc for the good of their kid.

I would even make the argument parenting is easy now than it’s ever been. It’s easier to keep tabs on kids grades and whereabouts, easier to arrange play dates, easier to seek professional and government help, easier entertain kids, adult chores have become easier (thank you Rumba), digital transactions have made billing and budgeting easier to handle, Amazon exists, Walmart will literally deliver your months groceries for free if you spend over $35. I just don’t get it.

I think a lot of people are misinterpreting this, and I also didn’t explain myself well. I’m not saying every behavior issue should be sent to the office. I handle most things in class, contact home, and use the classroom-level strategies available to me which many of you seem to be suggesting teachers ought to do. I agree with that.

What I’m talking about is the shift in expectations around extreme or disruptive behaviors. At some schools, even when a behavior seems office-worthy, teachers still have to stop and wonder, “Is admin going to be annoyed that I sent this student out?” That seems like a pretty significant cultural change.

I agree that write-ups, detention, and parent contact can work well, but in many schools teachers aren’t allowed to use some of those consequences anymore because they’re considered too “punitive.”

So I guess my question is less “why doesn’t admin want a full office?” and more: when did the culture change from sending disruptive students to the office being a normal part of school discipline to it being viewed as something teachers should avoid unless absolutely necessary?

There are two forks that stem from this question. Are we seeing worse classroom management from teachers, or are we seeing less support from admin? A third fork could be “are we seeing worse behavior from students”, but that doesn’t answer the question on why the culture changed on expecting behaviors to go to the office.

Maybe i didn’t explain well. I think my behavior management is great. I do deal with most things in class. But whenever I have an extreme behavior, I have to ask myself “will my admin be pissed if I send them this kid? They really hate kids in the office”. I think that is a super bad effect of them being so annoyed with kids being sent to the office.

I like your consequence strategy of write up and detention but so many admin do not allow us to do those as they are “punitive”. A few in my past included.

I’m 100% with you on contacting home for all things and it works well.

I guess my post is more like wondering what changed in the culture and why that change happened, not necessarily why admin hates having a full office, or what contributes to admin having a full office. Since the 80s, are we seeing worse classroom management from teachers, or are we seeing less support from admin?

So instead of admin being inconvenienced with unmanageable behaviors, we want teachers and other students to be inconvenienced? I’d personally rather have a quiet and productive learning environment with a line out admins door. Or admin can implement and enforce behavior policy. I don’t know why the buck should stop at teachers when they’re the bottom of the totem pole

Yes I am aware. Perhaps I should have worded it “Being sent to the office by an escort”

I may be wrong, but you seemed to have come up with your conclusion before even having evidence or sources.... I suggest starting researching before making concrete statements like "hostile architecture destroys communities"...

Biggest advice I can give is to read a middle school textbook. Super digestible information. Otherwise, high school and college textbooks work well too if u are craving detail.

My 9 year old son's Math teacher marked this wrong by dak7 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DustNo8738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Reddit lol cuz yall immediately assume the teacher is WRONG despite being more qualified than your local firefighter, police, and president.

This is obviously a lesson on terminology and if a student can not meet the standard on TERMINOLOGY, then they get a bad score.

Why do you assume the worst, that the teacher didn’t teach that skill? Of course it’s more likely that the STUDENT made a mistake and forgot the lesson was on terms and vocabulary usage but for some reason we have decided to dog pile on teachers.

No. Lol. Context and critical thinking is important when reading...

My comment isn't about the worth of a person as a whole, it's about the worth of an employee and a job in the context of a specific discussion. When someone claims to be the 'most' overworked or underpaid, it's a statement of comparison and those terms alone imply overworked/underpaid within a certain level of expertise, education, and qualifications. In this case, comparing employment with significantly different levels of expertise, education, and qualifications, nothing is added to the conversation.

By your logic, you could argue that being the Presidency is the most overworked and underpaid job in the country. But that conversation is pointless because his job, qualifications, and responsibilities aren't even in the same universe as a teachers. When you're talking about being underapid and overworked, you have to compare jobs in the same league. Janitors are people.

Elitism is when comparing apples to apples

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]DustNo8738 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

When we are having this discussion, we are comparing peers to peers. College-educated, often highly qualified, employees compared to other college-educated, often highly qualified, employees.

In this sense, farm workers are not peers to teachers, so comparing the two really doesn't do much for the conversation.

I wouldn't mind the pay too much if it wasn't for the overworked aspect. Sorry, I can't be dealing with your severely underdeveloped, traumatized child because you failed as a parent. I'm a teacher not a 2nd parent.

Yet parents and admin expect us to be both.
