“Needless to say don’t fight unless you can win.”

- Perhaps I’m okay with a shake up without a win, just because I truly hope this “incident = series of documented complaints” will shed the light on some fundamental issues (learning system made so confusing that one friend spends part time on it) will help to get a better helpful response rate from the teachers (this one is a lost cause because they are over-burdened, or like one poster stated, don’t care).

Multiply those part-time hours by #SNs. Multiply by avg hourly wage in fairfax. You will get average cost to the fairfax economy.

The system has a LOT of room for streamlining. (Anyone I talk to with middle-schoolers complains about schoology.) 
- That’s the key lesson.

But something happened yesterday, which is making me rethink things…

One teacher x apparently said in the class — I feel sad for this lost generation. My son says kids were behaving chaotic and that’s what she said in response to their faces…

I imagined that school teacher’s day, which gets so bad, that she loses it in front of the same kids that she is supposed to inspire… So, ‘leave it’ group is kind of winning at this time — I do feel sad she has a rough job and breaks down like that.

I am an MS teacher in the county. The majority of the students I have are perfectly lovely people, but they have lost more instructional time in the past few years because of disruptive behavior than any previous group of students I’ve had in my 20+ years of teaching.

Every year, there seem to be more and more students that are getting left behind academically. Like the teacher you mention in your post, I do feel bad for this generation. The students disrupting class - their actions may have long-term consequences. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for them with some BS inspirational speech - I’ll just them the truth.[/quote]
