[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that biggest fallacy in this thread is that the class is made up of 30 students sitting nicely and actively engaged in each lesson. Following directions, practicing the skill and participating in guided feedback to improve. That is not what is happening.  There is a portion of the class, completely unengaged.  A portion of the class that is actively disrupting the class.  And then there is the portion that is following directions and practicing the skills.  We try our best to meet the needs of each and every student in the classroom, but it is impossible, especially now post-covid.

I had half my students not turn in their county required Common Writing Task for the marking period.  We analyzed the documents together.  I modified the assignment: gave them a model essay to use as guidance, sentence frames and paragraph frames, I took scribe from who ever wanted/needed. We wrote some of it together.  I gave them time to write it in class.  Half just didn't turn in the essay.

Flame away and blame me.  And that is why teachers are walking away.

Then you engage them better and you notify parents that the assignment is not turned in.  It sounds like the kids don’t have the basics in your class and you need to start there.  If half the class is struggling what can you do different.  It’s not just spoon feeding them.  [/quote]

Lol now you're an expert on classroom management too? Maybe you should quit whatever it is you do all day besides moan on DCUM and apply since you know everything already![/quote]

If half your class failed an assignment maybe something needs to change in what you are doing.  If my kid isn’t doing their assignment as a teacher you let me know and it will get done.  [/quote]

The kids would rather do no work and get an easy 50%.  That is the issue.  No accountability.  Or the kids eventually half-ass it before the end of the quarter when parents finally know what the grades are going to be.[/quote]
Maybe at your bad school but at ours it's the opposite.[/quote]
