[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I have been laughing at all the parents who say things like, "Distance learning just doesn't work for my child. He can't pay attention to a prerecorded video or a zoom call." Lady, he never paid attention in class either. You really think putting kids in big groups helps them focus on academic material? Think again. [/quote]

As a parent, you sound like a teacher who can’t do their job. If kids don’t pay attention to you, you should work on that. [/quote]
So you can’t get your child to focus 1:1 at home, but you think teachers with 30 students, professional responsibilities, and a curriculum to teach to should be like birthday clowns? Learning can’t always be entertaining. That’s the reason our country has fallen so far behind in education. We really expect everything to be fun and easy. [/quote]
No, I can get my child, the neighbors' children and sometimes random kods at the park to focus on activities, that's not a problem. You seem to be indicating that you routinely have issues getting children to pay attention tl your class. If that is the case, it's definitely you, not the kids.[/quote]
Notice I was specifically referring to parents who say their child can’t focus on any school work at home. Thanks for your opinion! I am a highly rated special education teacher and my lessons are very engaging. It doesn’t upset me when a stranger who has never seen me teach tells me I’m too boring for their child to pay attention to. Btw, you should be teaching your child that they don’t get to pick and choose which adults and which lessons they attend to. They’re going to have a really difficult time in life if you don’t.

Lol. Doesn't sound like you are particularly good at your job. My kids are definitely taught that they don't by default have to do whatever some rando says. That's neither healthy nor safe. [/quote]
You are being deliberately obtuse. You think your child should be able to dismiss adults who work in their school based on their level of interest? Once again, you have no idea what I do at work. Based on your description of your parenting, seems like you’re failing pretty abysmally. [/quote]
Nope. I didn't get a good grade in gym class, but I didn't have to sit on the pervy coach's lap just because he said so either. I'm still pretty sure it was the right decision. My kid doesn't have to either. You sound like you are too lazy to figure out a cooperative relationship with your students (and if you are a SPED teacher, you don't have 30) and would like to blame someone else for your failure to do so.[/quote]
