[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a new math program at our school. Only online. This lack of actual math books is contributing to teacher burnout and low math scores. I have to download any kind of actual paper assignment that I want kids to do, hoping that the network is up, the copier isn’t jammed, and there aren’t a bunch of other teachers in line to use the copier. It is incredibly time consuming. There’s no book for a kid to review, except their interactive notebook which also takes a ton of time for the teacher to create materials for. Just give us a freaking workbook already! The rest of math is a large group lesson and meeting in small groups with the teacher while other kids rotate through computer and game stations and all kids are distracted. And the teacher has to make all the games and assign the groups and try to keep everyone on task while working with the small groups and make and grade exit tickets. Yes, I’m retiring. I’m a really good teacher, but I can’t keep up teaching without actual books for any subject any longer, and giving every kid an iPad makes my blood run cold. [/quote]

Parents are all behind you. Honestly it's your fellow teachers that day they want to use something else. Talk to one of the Fairfax Teacher Associations and be the change along with teachers who are in agreement. It doesn't mean that teachers can't use their own materials. Just means they have one set of materials as a base.[/quote]
