[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Questions for you since I’m a HS teacher and recently graded a test where the majority of a class failed.  Several students in the class earned As.

How do you know the class average?

Was this course open enrollment? If so, was it recommended the student take it?

Has all homework and classwork been completed on their own? That means they really know the material and aren’t using ChatGpt or PhotoMath etc to just get it done.

Are they regularly coming for extra help and going over notes and class content? Are they waiting to study until the night before the test and hoping the questions are exactly like the study guide, which they never will be and are told that? [/quote]

So as teacher what you think when majority of your class failed? 
A more kids are on drugs'
B more kids did party
C more kids used ChatGpt or PhotoMath for homework
D You were not able to explain this chapter properly?[/quote]

E. Most didn’t put the required effort in to learn the material.  You have no idea what it’s like now, even in an honors class.  They sit with both AirPods in and their eyes closed.  They refuse to take out a pencil/pen or turn anything in during an entire unit. They show up the day of the test and admit they are not prepared.  Then parents are upset they are not passing because they are an honors student.   You are assuming they even come to class.   Teaching has changed so much.  Explaining the material well is not the issue every time. [/quote]

And it starts in ES where they talk over teachers every day and interrupt learning every minute and complain that everything isn't a game-learning is "boring"[/quote]
