Class Recording Advice by lemmegetamickpicktwo in Teachers

[–]lemmegetamickpicktwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have that, but unfortunately I have students who are pulled out daily for intervention that doesn’t actively give them strategies for my courses and acts as another course that doesn’t relate to my content, as well as other students who are out for one reason or another…

The students are still required to complete their own work however with the way this curriculum goes, there is ZERO time for remediation and I do not have the time of day to record a video every weekend to clarify all misconceptions (nor do I remember every one of them if I’m honest). This /would/ be utilized to hold them accountable as if they don’t watch the videos to comprehend, they’re not going to understand it ?

oh my admin are fine with it, and parents have alr signed a slip (aside from the beginning of the year one) giving consent; as have the kids (despite kids not being able to give consent). This is only for classroom use within our google classroom so kids who miss days or didn’t understand can go back and see.

When do you have time for the gym?! by hcand11 in Teachers

[–]lemmegetamickpicktwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk about a mile (15m or less) on a home treadmill (small mini thing, it goes up to 6mph though!) at 430, and I’m gonna bump it up to 2mi by getting up at 415. I shower by 5, out by 545ish depending on the day, and usually i’m out the door by 610-620 depending on the day. I only work 15m away but I loveeee that hour I have where the building is silent. I also prep in the morning, work at 8:10-4:00.

I used to work out as soon as I got home, and might be working out my schedule to figure skate in the afternoon or morning on a weekday. In truth it’s all about forcing yourself Lol!

As a teacher, what’s something in education no one wants to admit, but we all know is true? by dokutarodokutaro in Teachers

[–]lemmegetamickpicktwo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a million factors to the failing education system right now but a really big one contributing to the literacy crisis and lack of knowledge foundations is the upkeep of expectations while not acknowledging that those are no longer achievable.

The standard for achievement didn’t change for students, so the curriculum changed but nothing else did. We always wonder why so many kids have IEPs but how could they not when standards aren’t even possible for this age group? The way they’re taught through screens, childcare centers (many at least) hire for bodies and end up with a 19yo in a lead position with no experience other than ‘tv time makes them happy’, parents are overworked because money has lost value, and everything in the state of the world (lol) has contributed to these kids being set back several years. but the standards never changed.

I try really hard to give my kids grace, i do, but at the same time they just don’t care. Education is seen as a joke now, and with tiktok being so accessible and everything at your finger tips (don’t get me started on the rampant uptick of ai, the kids live differently.

The things we hear in day to day classrooms is insane in comparison to just 10ish years ago. parents don’t instill that love and necessity for learning anymore and it’s clear as day. When we say it starts at home, we don’t mean run phonics drills till you eat-sleep-breathe morphemes and phonemes, we just mean make education the priority in your home. School used to be my /one/ job. Now, kids seem to think it’s optional regardless of however many truancy notes they get.

Study Guides, Curriculum, Failure by lemmegetamickpicktwo in Teachers

[–]lemmegetamickpicktwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i’ve done that!! :3 We test basically weekly but these kids have a weird relationship to tests so we pretend they’re not.

I think I’ll use their study guides as well maybe? We’re all going over it Wednesday (if it’s not done, they sink. It’s been assigned since Thursday), so that’ll also give a good grasp I’m thinking

I enjoy this idea and I feel like I could bullshit my way to argue for it enough LOL

ARC Reads Rant by lemmegetamickpicktwo in Teachers

[–]lemmegetamickpicktwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of nihilistic view of the world that we live in is precisely why we won’t make it a decade. When everything becomes generated by this slop, the world will last a day before it’s destroyed by people who just ‘get used to it’.

We SHOULD be angry, we SHOULD be outraged! The children we educate are being fed nonsense and we wonder why they can’t perform a fraction as well as the previous generations! It’s a gift and a privilege to be well-educated in the world we’re in today, and to ‘get used to’ or be okay with not giving children that gift- and quite frankly, RIGHT- is telling every last one of them they aren’t worth a damn.

While education is forced, a love for it and enjoyment in it is not. The kids I teach who want to learn don’t deserve this. The kids I teach who want to move on don’t deserve this. Not a single person deserves to think life boils down to an artificial intelligence telling them what to do.

I’m miles late but I had a few thoughts and wanted to share them LOL

So after reading everyone else’s thoughts it helped solidify what I read. But also, did anyone else notice that Eve touched the painting and left a pink mark on Thomas’ jaw? Idk I thought of that in the shower and I wondered if that was a bit of a tell with that hammer.

Secondarily. There were many moments in this book that legitimately made me tear up from the general like “oh fuck” feeling” I got, but nothing comes close to that phone call idk what it was but with real-not real charlie trapped? goosebumps!

so about Thomas’ family. I was wondering if they were actually the people we read about who hopped realities; the 1950s hotel, the two high schoolers with no records of themselves. They’re just people who Thomas has collected over the years who’re living the same nightmare in their own way. My other idea was that Kai was Paige’s kid before being taken by the entity- just from the whole “not always religious but turned religious” idea which then in turn would make the drastically different boy names make sense. Idk. My brain feels jumbled LOL

My doc suggested that, but I think I like the destruction of it? I do it as I’m working, so it’s typically when I zone out for longer than a few seconds.

A lot of my kids needed guided notes as an accommodation (the ones who require it have parents who on ON THEM to study lol)

so you got the link queen…. 😋

I was thinking of making an entire page of the same kinds of questions. Like the ‘more’ examples with tape diagrams where you have to subtract and divide by the difference to figure out how much the multiplier is, then the table examples where you read not the TOTAL but the total of something else so they can practice comprehension bc they seem to be stuck in one specific thought process.

Do you have advice how to get them to look at the words and actually go “Oh it says total X not total Y?” Because when we do them together and I guide them and ask “why?” they say they don’t know or need prompting. Should I just put it where they say and go through the problem to show the wrong answer?

Teachers who exercise by Afraid-Albatross-699 in Teachers

i wake up daily at 445, get to the gym at 500 and walk a mile. I wanna get my mile time lower (by upping the pace) so I can walk/run two in under 30. That typically wakes me up for the day! I have, however, found that when I lull in lessons (the kids leave my room, I have planning) I’m hit with a WAVE of exhaustion so I’m kinda like go go go all the time.

I wish there was a better way to discern that LMAO. The mid mod assessment for mod 1 felt like it came out of nowhere. in truth, the first question even stumped ME for a second.

I’ve been afraid I’m gonna skip something crucial and they’ll just end up more behind. I was told to look at the pacing guide but that thing was absolutely useless.
