[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last day and the last three days were one movie after another.  The teachers just used movies as their babysitter. They didn’t even play a fun classroom game or read a book or practice penmenship. They have no creativity in the classroom. The teachers checked out last week. The rooms were cleaned last week. They just don’t care. [/quote]

I’m a high school teacher. I have planned activities up to (and including) the last day… and it’s horrible.

The kids are checked out and don’t want to do anything. It becomes an unnecessary fight which leaves the year on a negative note. And this also keeps me from doing the many close-out tasks I have, so I end up working 70 hour weeks getting it all done at home because I am forcing activities on unwilling participants at school.

And teachers are beyond exhausted. The fatigue isn’t even describable at this point.

So it isn’t being “checked out.” It’s conserving energy and trying to end on a good note.
