[quote=Anonymous]My SIL is a HS math teacher not in this area. Her district is middle to UMC overall and pretty majority white - I don’t think there’s anywhere in this area that would be so homogenous unless you were really far into the exurbs maybe. But her district is suburban. She’s been a teacher for 20 years. She said the worst things are:

- kids being on their phones all the time, not paying attention, and the phones being a distraction. This goes for both remedial and on grade level classes. 
- way too many meetings and admin type work assigned from the district and the principals. It cuts into the teachers’ planning time too much and they feel very stretched for time as a result. 
- she still feels that kids are behind where they were before Covid but isn’t sure why - her district opened hybrid on their regular 1st day of school in August 2020 and was full time after the first quarter so they did not have lengthy school closures. 
- her friend who is a history teacher says that all the kids are absolutely terrible writers.

I asked if there was a lot of drug use in school and they said some but it wasn’t a huge problem and the kids (boys especially) have stopped vandalizing the bathrooms since it’s not a social media trend anymore. [/quote]
