[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend teaches middle school in APS so I got the inside scoop. They have hundreds of kids. They know the trouble makers by name. They may never keep straight the quiet nice girls. Hard to distinguish Larla from Lila from Lola, etc. my friend feels bad about this but she’s human. This is public school.

That is not consistent with teachers I know (I am one) [/quote]

Probably a generational thing.  Older teachers are much more versed in remembering names and faces — even used to have to know phone numbers.

Now everyone’s memory is on their phone and the muscle has atrophied. Maybe we need a school social network so teachers can keep track of names and faces.

But yeah with 140 kids, they may know your kids names, but knowing “them” and engaging with them while dealing with all the other issues in 2024 classrooms, it’s a roll of the dice.
