[quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty unusual for teachers to be getting in contact this often. It makes me wonder if there are significant technology issues that the teachers are perceiving as a barrier to learning. As an example, I teach children who will sit like bumps on a log and then tell me 20 minutes later that they couldn’t hear anything over Zoom, which I later discover is due to low bandwidth. Sometimes we teachers take digital literacy for granted too: I’ve asked children to “click on a link” only to find out a fifth grader doesn’t know that underlined blue text is a link. I know that digital learning at home can feel chaotic for working parents, so I never want to make assumptions or place blame. One strategy for doing that, particularly for those of us who have been berated by more “reactive” parents, is to share observations as objectively as possible and in a timely way. OP, time to figure out if all of the short messages are possibly pointing to a bigger message your child’s teacher is trying to get across.[/quote]
