[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My kids' teachers basically stopped teaching the Friday before Memorial Day. June has been a complete waste, with nearly zero learning going on. The only teachers who seem to give a damn are the band teachers. Kids have been asking if they even need to go in this week because it's just movies and down time. I don't want to hear one word about learning loss when teachers basically gave up these last 3 weeks.

We had to stop teaching to get in all of the ridiculous testing. The testing windows end before school does so it's a lot of time with nothing to do.[/quote]

So there's literally nothing that you can review or teach or go further in depth on?  These kids were out of school for a year and are behind.  Reviewing core math concepts and reading a short book for the last few weeks of school doesn't seem like too big a stretch.  [/quote]

I plan lessons but kids just stop coming. Kids had awful behavior this year and now have stopped showing up. [/quote]

Umm so which is it? They stop coming or they come and have bad behavior? You teach the children that are there! Children need structure![/quote]

Really? Oh. I didn't know. Kids are allowed to get away with a lot of behavior now that they never used to before. Most have stopped showing up which is a blessing I teach the students who do show up. They are working in groups to create a product, market it and pitch it to the grade level. [/quote]

Is this marketplace? My kids did that in 3rd grade. What a fun assignment! They key was not to hoard your money because, it would be worthless after the day. Mine amassed a small fortune selling HP wands that she made from tree branches and then bought out all the cake pops and brownies. Success! Hope this assignment is a bright spot for you, Teacher, and that you are getting parent support. Thank you for all you do.[/quote]
