[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it probably has very little to do with Reid, and most likely due to all the feral illiterate screen addicted covid kids finally getting back on track so the teachers can actually teach and enjoy their jobs without dealing with constant weird crap like kids destroying bathrooms or having screen withdrawal meltdowns, with constant contact from flipping out parents who are as frustrafed or more frustrated than the teachers.

Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

I don’t know. I teach kindergarten and this is my 2nd toughest year with behaviors and immaturity. The worst being the first year back after Covid (not virtual start year).

I fear this is a trend and things are getting worse. Add in benchmark and all of the expectations put on us and it’s a tough year for a lot of teachers. [/quote]

I am sorry.

The current kindergartens are the first full cohort of kids who spent their entire toddler and preschool years staring at an ipad so their parents could stare at their phones, and the first few years of their lives, the language and social cue development years, masked up staring at faces that were masked.  You can't tell me that the lack of faces for the first two years of their lives didn't damage their language and social development.  God bless you and all early childhood teachers for trying to walk back and rebuild that developmental disaster.
