[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These 22 year olds aren't quitting because they're afraid of covid.  Each one has said the job is too hard.  One was my teaching partner.  I gave him all my plans.  I spent hours helping him prep.  He cried EVERY DAY in my classroom after school.  [/quote]

Well, what exactly was he crying about? Kids with home issues making him sad? Kids being violent? Maybe he didn’t think he was explaining things in a way they understood? I mean, did you pay attention to what his actual concerns were, or just dismiss them?[/quote]

He was crying because he couldn't figure out how or when to teach stuff.  So 2x a week i helped him for a few hours to create plans.  He had no idea how to manage behavior.  I'm not talking about severe behavior.  I mean things like the kids who talk too much.  I came into his classroom to model how to do this.  He was crying because, I kid you not, he wanted to go hang out with his friends and didn't have time.  He actually said this.  [/quote]
