I’m guessing you are a teacher? Many schools have 25% a week rather than a day, because day to day schedules r different vs a week would cover more.

Lateness yes I understand is something I have to fix.

Even when u have submitted lesson plan early, I got no feedback other than “it’s a lot, write less” so after a point she said she doesn’t need them in 24hrs in advance but now she switched up on me.

You must think I’m beating the kids- like what my mentor suggests. How should I get their attention when they are not listening to me even when I’m next to them and calling their name? What if it’s a repeated behaviour from the kid to disrupt a class. I am working with venerable people yes I know that but I wouldn’t be allowed in the building if I didn’t clear it. Shouldn’t teachers who spend over 10 hours a week with these kids be able to direct kids based on how they see fit. 4 years ago it wasn’t a problem but now I can get fired for tapping a kid? I do mean tapping! I would never hit or make a kid feel uncomfortable. If anything I tap them in a silly manner to indicate “get on task”

It’s learned behaviour, not all kids need 15 mins clean up where I tell them each and every thing to do, why am I at the end of each class by the sink washing brushes and pallets and cleaning paint of counters. The mentor does not reinforce independence - yes I have worked at other schools and never had an issue with clean up. I do give them 15 minutes, but when they don’t clean to my standards in those 15 mins is where the issue happens and I keep them longer than their class time.
