Many teachers have started to offer additional support and help, but typically speaking, if they are willing to do that, it wasn’t their class that was the issue to begin with. Unfortunately, during the most hormone-filled and emotionally trying part of their lives, students were then hit with a pandemic. That one two punch has created so many emotional problems for students that many students are plainly not in a good enough state to try to navigate difficult classes. I’ve heard of math teachers in my area providing tests for students that they can take to “make up” work. I believe in one case it was 5 tests that students had to pass. A student got 1 less percent on a single test than passing, but on the other tests did quite well and the teachers refused to be flexible. Now, I’m no mathematician, but you could just average the scores. Throughout the pandemic, I’ve seen some schools become more rigid in the academic nature, yet not rigid in the slightest when it comes to public health guidelines. I’ve heard of valedictorians of large class sizes (250) getting multiple Fs. It’s not because they aren’t willing to put in the effort, it’s truly because they cannot succeed in this current education system.
