[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is a huge reason why it is so stressful this year. From elementary through high school, kids have been unsocialized on how to function in a group setting, have just been able to do whatever whenever, far too much phones/games/etc., and no accountability to actually do or learn anything. Last year was stressful and overwhelming because of all the new technology and daily creation of new lessons. Teachers fretted about kids who they couldn’t connect to because cameras were off. This year the kids are with us and all of their stress and anxiety and neediness and behaviors become our problem to manage constantly and it is exhausting and stressful and frustrating and …

The system is trying to operate like everything is back to normal, but it’s not. Kids are not okay. Teachers are not okay. Hopefully it will steadily improve. Hopefully it will improve faster than teachers burnout. [/quote]

This is so well stated. I'm seeing kids who don't understand to stay in the classroom, let alone at their desks or how to work independently. I was in a district that was in person for a lot of last year, but we were constantly flipping between digital and hybrid, so the in person class size was small and the students' movement and interaction was very restricted due to fears of covid transmission. We are re-teaching expectations of how to learn, interact with peers and teachers, and be respectful of people and property to every grade level.[/quote]
