[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching seems like such a straightforward job when you aren’t in it. So much convoluted nonsense in a job that should be “plan the lessons, teach the kids.” [/quote]

plan the lessons,
teach the kids

if it were only that easy.

gotta grade papers constantly to give immediate feedback; do that for 28 kids times 5 periods and that's 140 grades per task...

call parents, counselors, admin to update on students who are not passing

go to meetings before, during, after school and on your planning periods that include IEPs, evals, and LSCs; parent/teacher conferences, department meetings; CT meetings; PD meetings; staff meetings; etc.

attend school events; do hallway or cafeteria watch duty

stay afterschool twice a week to offer students support out of the class and to make up or retake assessments

printing/copying, preparing and reflecting on lesson plans

deal with students who are absent or consistently on their phones or take longer bathroom breaks or don't return from lunch on time

take attendance and update it

remediate and reteach content

make sure to have classroom stocked with school supplies because kids can't afford to bring them to class but yet they are on their smartphones

To be fair, the PP did say “if you aren’t in it”. [/quote]
