[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I am a teacher.  So you know that all of us teachers will be pressured at the end of the semester to make makeup packets so we can say 2 hours of work is the exact same as a semester of studying hard.  I'd say this type of normalization of doing the minimum is creating lazy entitled brats.[/quote]

I'm also a teacher and this is not how the policy works at my school. Assignments are graded, and then the policy applies. So a 20% becomes a 50%. A 50% becomes a 50%. A 60% is a 60%.

Also, I say this with sincerity as a colleague, it sounds like it might be time to step away from the classroom. I certainly understand frustration with the job. I have it too. But referring to your students as lazy entitled brats because you can't motivate them to stop being disruptive long enough to participate in graded assignments is not appropriate. I urge you to find a better option for your own sanity! Maybe even another school system where you don't have so much administrative involvement? [/quote]
