[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a secondary teacher. I am teaching actual curriculum on Monday and Tuesday of next week. If students are absent, they are responsible for the work they are missing. We don't have time for fluffy, feel-good, filler activities. We have curriculum to cover and I am not slowing down just because it's Thanksgiving week.

Parents who choose to pull their kids out of school next week need to understand that their kids are missing work and assessments and they will be responsible for all of it when they return to school. [/quote]

I had to double take that I didn't post this.  Same exact thing in my classes. I told kids they were responsible for finding the notes on schoology, printing the assignments, and getting them turned in the day they returned.[/quote]

You sound nice! Let the kids have a freaking break for once!![/quote]

????

I actually AM super nice! The kids tell me I’m too nice, most of the time.

I told the kids as long as they are in class on Tuesday they’d have no work over the break, it would all be done in class.

The ones who skip will need to make it up before they return, just like if they skipped any other Tuesday.[/quote]

Maybe they aren’t skipping. Maybe their parents are taking them out of town for Thanksgiving. Or maybe they are sick. No one should have to do work over the break, even if they miss Tuesday. Get real. They are entitled to one makeup day for every day absent. [/quote]

Seriously. I'm so over attitudes.....truly most of you are very unhappy people and you take it out on the kids. [/quote]

+1 teachers are unhappy with their profession so they take it out on the kids.[/quote]
