It’s because they’re cheating.

My class has scores 20% above what they were before COVID.  I thought the cheating would get better when we returned but the kids are still using their group chats.  I’m not allowed to take their phones away and the administration doesn’t back me up when I catch them cheating.

This is so unfair to kids who don’t cheat. My son has a difficult science class first period and kids are take screenshots or pictures of the exam during the test.  Then they are sharing them with kids who have the class later in the day. My son has been pressured to do the same but refuses. He lost a friend over it who wanted him to get the test question and his friend who give him the math  questions since that kid had math earlier in the day. How are teachers not realizing the class average is increasing as the day progresses? [/quote]

Some improvement over the course of the day is inevitable. Teens are biologically more likely to be night owls, so first period is just rougher for them (on average). Also, my teaching improves over the course of the day because I adapt to what worked or didn't work in earlier classes and can better anticipate questions or difficulty students may have with specific concepts.[/quote]
