[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids love my class.  We do Warped Tour Wednesdays where I play punk and emo from the 2000s during the warm up.  I attend 4-5 afterschool events a week and support all my students with their fundraisers.  We have fun in my class [/quote]

I understand. It is difficult to engage apathetic students and you’re finding ways to draw them to the classroom and keep them there, but you should provide some context for “we’re watching basketball games in class” when speaking to parents. There’s already a lot of hostile energy towards teachers on this forum.[/quote]

I don't see how explaining that he's tired and doesn't want to teach is going to be positive context for the parents.[/quote]

I don’t think he said that.  I imagine he’s trying to build community and keep the kids who would normally skip school or walk the hallways coming to class.  A lot of students from low-income or immigrant families are so severely behind in their subject area that lose motivation quickly and they need a lure/ reward system to keep them in class.  I teach advanced subject matter so I don’t have this problem.
