[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t a math teacher supposed to teach the kids the math? If it’s not happening, why? Is there something wrong with how it’s being taught or the expectations? It’s not true that other professions don’t work extra. I’m an attorney and I’m asked to deliver x product (the equivalent for you would be teaching x concept). I work until it’s done, even if it means working weekends or staying late.[/quote]

Learning cannot occur for many reasons. Many kid sizes don’t pay attention, fall asleep in class, spend ages in the bathroom, don’t come to school. They are robots who produce x when y is inputted. I will help kids after school if they ask for it, show up when they say they will and don’t waste time in class screwing around. [/quote]
You are responding to me and I think your conditions for helping are perfectly reasonable. Are you the OP? Because I got the impression OP didn’t want to help even the struggling students who were trying hard.[b] The reason why I’m wondering if It’s OP’s teaching that needs help is because she made it sound like it was a constant or big problem, not an occasional goof-off kid[/b].[/quote]

When you teach 125 kids it doesn’t take too many asking too stay after school to really eat up your time. [/quote]

Also keep in mind, I can’t leave till their parent picks them up, so it’s not like a kid just stopping by for help with one problem. [/quote]

Op, if this is a public school, kids take busses.  If parents don’t come for a scheduled pick up, the kid is waiting in the office.  If it’s a private, talk to your hos about kids not getting picked up.  Still if for some reason a child isn’t picked up promptly means you need to have a discussion with the parents.[/quote]
