[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the teachers holding up? And why do you think things have escalated to this extent? My kids are tweens/teens and they had very "normal," positive elementary experiences. [/quote] I think teachers are focused on their own classes. In elementary, most of the time is spent with their home room teachers. The teachers with more disruptive kids or kids with significant emotional needs are obviously the most drained. I can’t believe one person is expected to teach 24 neurotypical kids and somehow monitor and manage 1-3 kids with significant needs. I was in one of the classes and saw that some of the mainstream 1st graders could write their names (barely) and not much else. I don’t think this was noticed because usually the teacher had to redirect the 2 hands on kids. Often the kids also redirect their classmates and nobody focuses on actual learning. [/quote]
