[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite form of “self advocacy” that my kid developed during HS was keeping files of all graded work (like an actual file drawer with carefully labeled folders for each class and assignments filed by date) so that when teachers recorded work that had been turned in, graded, and returned as “missing” they could provide the teacher a copy.  They learned to provide a copy because more than once a teacher took the original back from them and then continued to claim that the work had never been done.

At the end of the advisory, they would typically provide at least 2 teachers with multiple copies of work marked as missing (like 5-7 assignments). [/quote]

This is why parents should love online platforms like Canvas.  It is time stamped and you can prove something was turned in.  I know on the flip side that’s why some teachers like it.  Kids can’t claim to their parents that they turned something in but the teacher lost it.[/quote]

As an IT guy, this stuff makes me crazy.  Teachers assign and grade stuff in Canvass, right?  Then do they have to manually enter grades in Aspen?  If so, that’s nuts.

Also, JR and Walls kids routinely have chat groups for classes where one kid does the assignment then posts a picture for all the other kids to copy.  Technology can easily solve this.

There is no need to individual teachers to create new and unique  homework assignments and tests for standard HS classes.  You could easily have sets of thousands of questions, and each kid completes homework specific to them (and tailored based on questions they missed previously in a subject like math or foreign language).  The work could be multiple choice or require typed answers, and grading could be automated or at worst the teacher could grade online and grade book would be automatically updated.

Teacher time could them be spent discussing subject matter with kids or helping individual students.  [/quote]

I’m a HS science teacher and love these suggestions. Teachers spend so much time recreating the wheel.
It is inefficient and a waste of time. [/quote]

I played around with gpt a week ago just to get an idea of a quiz it might write. It wasn’t good. [/quote]
