[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think about quitting every few weeks but I am a single parent so I can't. It's been wonderful to be in person this year but the behaviors are just so out there. It is draining. We found out today that we are getting a half day on December 23rd and I felt such relief that I almost cried. Lots of teachers are on the edge.[/quote]

Would you mind elaborating? I hear this a lot - that students are not well behaved this year and the class is hard to control. But why do you think that is? I know it probably has something to do with the stress of covid (sick family members, job loss, routine changes etc) but what do you think in particular is causing this? Also why is it that teachers all want to quit? Asking not to criticize but to see what we should be advocating for (I know better salaries of course but trying to understand what else). What about student behavior? What do students need for things to get better? [/quote]

Parents should do something when they hear concerns from a teacher. I have a student whose mental health I can concerned for. Have already met with parents several times and he continually cries and breakdowns multiple times a day in class. He’s met with the counselor at school a few times; but can you take him to the pediatrician or psychologist? Parents think is going to grow out of it.

This is one of three similar issues in my class. No parents have done anything…even when they communicate similar issues at home.[/quote]
