[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and I am looking forward to it. The sooner we get started again, the sooner it will all be over. It will be a slow week for us. I do not plan on overloading them and instead, just doing some review type of work with no homework and only participation grades. Lots of fun activities and keeping it short. [/quote]

Which grade to you teach? The activities my son's 1st grade teachers comes up with probably sound like a lot of fun but it just doesn't work out in practice, unless the kid has a parent there to help out. My kid doesn't and feels like a failure every time he is not able to accomplish the "fun" activity on those old clunky laptops they are using.[/quote]

+1.  My 2nd and 4th do not enjoy ‘fun’ activities online and ‘slow’ just means tedium.  They would rather the teacher teach something substantive and interesting and then let them get off the call and do something that is actually fun.[/quote]

Well, take that up with administrators that push teachers to keep  elementary aged students in live sessions all day and begin curriculum as soon as winter break ends. One of my colleagues ended a session 15 minutes early because his students were drained  and got a nasty email from admin about it.

Remember we have bosses that dictate most of what we do. Please don’t blame teachers. [/quote]

And you know why he got a nasty email from admin?  Leaving aside the minute possibility (seriously, tiny) that an admin happened to be remotely obseverving his class at that exact moment -- he got that email because A BITCHY PARENT COMPLAINED.[/quote]

And do you know why that BITCHY parent complained? Because the teaching is happening in her living room instead of in schools where the CDC, Dr. Fauci, National Teachers groups, and more say it SHOULD Be taking place. Don’t like it? Tell the WTU. [/quote]
