[quote=Anonymous]PP- I am also in a low SES. This is my 6th year. I agree with everything you wrote. The expectations placed on us are over the top. I feel like we are overstepping the boundaries between school and parents. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Now we are talking about teachers visiting homes of frequently absent students everyday they are absent. Our admin usually makes these home visits but now they want to send someone to cover our class so we can visit these homes every the kids are absent. Um, no. Why should the rest of my class suffer because of these frequently absent kids? They will miss out on instruction because of it and who knows how often. Last year, I had 5 students who were absent 20 days or more. So every one of those days, I have to make the rounds to bang on doors? That is ridiculous. If my district didn't pass so much more than the surrounding districts, I would be gone.[/quote]
