[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or itt could be something wrong with the way the students study (or more likely, don't study).

One of the classes I teach is non-honors and there are two A's among the 55+ students. These students are always on task, do all the in-class practice, do all the homework and study for quizzes and tests.
Most of the others put their pencils down and get on their phones the moment I've finished the lesson and it's time to practice. Some don't even bother taking notes. If you try to take the phone away, they argue or put their heads down and sleep. They don't do the homework at all or copy the key. They don't review on review day and copy the review key to turn in. Then they whine about their grade.[/quote]

Maybe you don't inspire them to want to learn. Maybe your lessons are boring and rote. Maybe you just don't connect with the majority of your students. [/quote]

Maybe their parents shouldn’t send them to school with unlimited distractions .[/quote]

What, phones? Phones are the reason the majority of your students fall asleep in class? [/quote]

Absolutely. Do you know why they’re so tired? Because they’re up until 1-2 am scrolling tik tok. I’m a mean mom that makes my kids plug in their phones in the kitchen overnight. It’s insane how much both their phones light up with notifications of messages past midnight, even my 8th grader.

Also, phones are absolutely causing attention deficit in all generations, but teens have it worse because this is all they know. So a lesson that may have been fine in 2010 is now so boring your kid can’t focus.

Also, the teachers don’t make the curriculum. They’re doing their best, go into any school and you’ll see how hard they’re working. So many are burnt out because student behavior is atrocious. I would like to see you command the attention of 30 high schoolers with every school subject. US history and calculus hasn’t changed, students have. [/quote]
