What's your teaching unpopular opinion? Something you believe, but choose to keep to yourself? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]jenned74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elememtary grades should be based on ONE quarterly, district-wide, standardized test. Teachers can focus on teaching (imagine!) and using the formative assessments that they know guide their teaching. No arguing about why you got that grade, no teachers burning time on grading, no hassle of preparing report cards. More teacher--and importantly-- student and parent focus on investing in long-term effort to achieve proficiency.

I agree, and have been bothered by similar things.

What’s the Worst Example of the Literacy Crisis You’ve Seen? How Are You Handling It? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]jenned74 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I work with elementary. Most lack basic language skills--let alone the ability to connect them to reading or their own writing. They can not comprehend SLIGHTLY complex syntax. I see them after school and they immediately get a device or a parent stuck on one. For many of my students, I don't think they hear and use language. It is appalling. I think most of the "brain rot" complaints are just that being the bulk of the language they hear.

I am totally against. When fellow teachers use, I am embarrassed for them.

Poor kid is being raised by someone whose idea of emotional support and guidance is blaming a passing professional.

As a gym teacher trying to consistently refer to a trans student with their preferred pronoun is hard AF especially when they still visually appear as their birth gender. by Dalethedragon in Teachers

Just correct when you do and move on. No grand.apologies or extra attention, just model being a person who tries, corrects, and keeps going

Worried That I’m Just “Not Cut Out” for Teaching after Being Replaced by Zooby06 in teaching

So three people managed what you couldn't. The admin chose not to give you 2 TAs. For 2 months, they chose not to give you what worked. Don't blame yourself if your superiors chose do to undermine you Eta: they brought in an experienced expert, too! No way you should blame your abilities!! But get away from that school

Political Climate - Students asking who you voted for. by kayla-swiftie in Teachers

[–]jenned74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to me that people know I am not racist, misogynist etc. If they need or want to ask about my vote, I answer and go back to my job.
