I've given up on this school year and APS - packing up and peace out APS!

Thank you for posting this. I never checked any of my work before and the idea never occurred to me to do so. Now I will since you brought it to the attention of all teachers.

My guess is that this happens all the time even in pre-covid times but parents aren't around to notice it.

I think this time has been a wake up call to many parents.

In normal times, with normal, 5 days/week teaching kids in-person with regular hours, I can accept a few mistakes. But now, with all the added time teachers have to plan, working remotely 3 days/week, this is unacceptable. Especially because the entire grade of teachers are using the same materials, how is nobody catching mistakes, proofreading their own work, etc???

You have no idea how much MORE work and more pressure there is this year than any other year. Just go away.

It never occurred to you to do so? This has to be a troll.

You have to be very, very dense.

Exactly.

Blame the school district for not purchasing curriculum that has textbook, workbook, teachers’ guide, and assessment.
Instead teachers have to create things from scratch or end up purchasing teachers pay teachers worksheets.

WHY do TPT worksheets all use those stupid fonts?

Yes, I think this is one of the biggest issue with our school district.

WTF - no need for every single teacher to reinvent the wheel every year.

I work full time and don't hover over my 1st grade immersion kid, but, twice now I have caught simple mistakes. Each time it has been in teaching kids counting, and last week it was, fill in the gaps 120, ___, ____, ___, 125. Previously, it was 10, ___, 30, ____, 40, ___, 60.

This is super simple and really just a bad error. She assigns the work to the kids, each time I spot it immediately as it comes up on the screen, but, it seems to stay until it's time for her to work through the answers with them. It's painful to see this type of issue happen twice. The first time I kept listening and heard the teacher correct herself and the mistake, but, it just feels like poor form. I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but, careless errors are just painful to see.

Yup - I do not hover either, I'm working FT. When my child interrupts me with a question, it's because he's really struggling. So when he interrupts me because he's taking a quiz that he can't make any sense of, and I look and see obvious mistakes, it's so annoying. Some of the mistakes and errors are so obvious.

When my district buys me curriculum that I can use, I will do it! Until then I’m creating materials from scratch for 3 preps and running around like a headless chicken so this year more than ever there are errors

That has been apparent for years. From preschool teachers all the way up through middle school, you can always count on the fact that communications from teachers will be littered with grammar errors. For some reason, teachers have a very hard time with to/too/two, there/their/they're, etc. And in the digital age where Spellcheck is literally underlining your errors in red, there's just no excuse.
