[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re telling me that your first graders are writing two pages every time they write?  How interesting. And you’re taking credit for stopping covid from spreading even when they are in the cafeteria/specials or parents are traveling/kids are exposed outside of school hours yet bring it into the building. Ok.

Unfortunately many of us have read CDC protocols and have fully implemented mitigation practices into our lives, classrooms, and yet we still have felt the impacts of COVID; losing loved ones, long covid haulers which both myself and my students have experienced. Your post is what we call toxic positivity and is completely tone deaf. I’m glad it’s been such a breeze for you and unfortunately some of my students and myself have lost family members and are experiencing real trauma. They are scared, sad, and have strong emotions that a couple of brain breaks or peace moments doesn’t necessarily fix.

Despite the trauma, we are, like you, spending every moment of the school day trying to close achievement gaps while maintaining high expectations for each other. But sick kids aren’t available for learning, no matter how magical of a teacher you claim to be. [/quote]

I missed the part where the original poster said that they were teaching first graders.[/quote]

Their last paragraph references the class being “emotionally ready for second grade”. 
I actually do teach first and there is no way that poster is a first grade teacher, not even close![/quote]
