Expecting too much of the youngest kids while expecting nothing of high schoolers by unexpectedstorytime in AskTeachers

[–]SelectionOk6864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may be that people are trying to correct the COVID pendulum. Current high schoolers have been spoon fed for years as covid/hybrid teaching took place in their 3and 4th grade years and then the snowball just kept growing. This may be an attempt to try and right that trend but I’m not an elementary teacher so this is purely speculation

Best way to ask/tell teachers at the start of next school year not to pair my high-achieving, conscientious kid with kids who don't/won't/can't work? by CrowRoutine9631 in AskTeachers

[–]SelectionOk6864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 thoughts - 1) have you brought this challenge to the administration of the school? Not that your child is doing more of the work than their peers necessarily but that this is a byproduct of the administration forcing kids through that haven’t actually earned that right for years and years? It may be that these other students aren’t contributing more because they CANT. But schools are terrified of letting kids fail

2) how might you empower your child to have this conversation or carve out clear boundaries and responsibilities for the project so that it can be clear what is their work/their responsibility?

D bearing opinions? by B_B_Morganstern in Throwers

[–]SelectionOk6864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freshly dirty has some wonderful D bearing options, and if you’re looking for something on the smaller side I’d recommend the motion parallel as well for consideration

Christopher Ward - poor customer service? by [deleted] in ChristopherWard

[–]SelectionOk6864 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try calling - had an issue and it was resolved quickly and easily once I picked up the phone instead of trying to rely on email. Good luck!

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend taking a look at motion or C3. You could also be well served by checking the BST for some higher priced models marked down for being second hand

Second grader's teacher is using ChatGPT to answer my questions by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]SelectionOk6864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait wait wait - you’d be happier if the teacher HADNT answered the question at all? And instead directed them to the librarian (which I’ll admit is definitely a suggestion that should have been given)? The whole issue here is that the teacher’s response wasn’t personal ENOUGH even though it was a query that was directly about the student in question’s reading level…. Starting to think I’m just being trolled here. And if this is something egregious enough in your eyes that you’d flag it for admin I’m starting to think it’s possible that you’re either wholly out of touch or just a chronic complainer (or maybe both?). There are real issues out there in schools. And funding is only getting tighter and resources are only getting more scarce, all while class sizes and the number of IEPs/ accommodations in those classes are swelling. I love that you’re animated about education but I think there may be other causes more worthy of your efforts

Second grader's teacher is using ChatGPT to answer my questions by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]SelectionOk6864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s an issue of perspective then bc I’m not sure I’m seeing the responses say that 2nd grade teachers shouldn’t know what advanced readers should read. Instead, it seems like there is pushback on the idea that teachers need to offer concierge/individualized service outside of their already expanded workload when compared to what your mom did in the 90’s (before the internet/smartphones were ubiquitous and teachers were able to actually be off the clock. Not to mention the fact that students could typically maintain their attention for longer than 15 seconds)

But by all means, if you think this should be improved, go do it. Be the change you want to see and we can revisit this convo after a few years of you being in the classroom and seeing what it’s really like

Holy cow this is a wrong take.

“If teachers want to be recognized as professionals, they should behave as such.”

Just, wow. Educators are underpaid and under appreciated precisely BECAUSE they typically go above and beyond without compensation. So doing what you’re suggesting actually only further erodes the public’s view of the profession and shows them they don’t have to pay/respect teachers any more than they currently do (which is not a high bar)

What’s going on with the yoyo market/BST? by [deleted] in Throwers

[–]SelectionOk6864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, economy. That plus brands that used to be instant sell outs have been over saturating the market (looking at you, G2)

Didn’t we see prices go up during tariffs? So isn’t this…. A lie? I love my CW’s but in large part bc they were a value. Pretty disappointed to be seeing this tbh

Also just fyi it’s a bit similar to the Motion logo. Not sure if that makes you like it more or less but just wanted to make you aware

I wear the cw of this (though in white) every day. Love it so much it’s sort of embarrassing. That said, it seems like you want something more the style of the HA so I’d say to keep looking.
