[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why are educators shocked that there was real harm done when the schools went virtual for over a year? That parents still have a chip on their shoulders towards schools because they were closed far longer than any other workplace. They were told schools aren’t daycare so you and your family are on your own figuring out how to help your child learn anything?

Of course parents are throwing their hands up and saying that catching up their kids is the school’s problem. They wanted schools open when their kids were falling behind.[/b]

Kids realized that their education mattered pretty little to the adults in their lives. They had 18 months to skate by.

This is the fall out. It will eventually level off but it’s ridiculous to think it will within six months. [/quote]

Too bad. Do your jobs, Mama Bears. Take full responsibility for YOUR kids.[/quote]

You do realize that not every parent is a software engineer working from home in their home office, correct?

Remember that next time you ask for the manager at the grocery store.[/quote]

I think the point is that they are now YOUR responsibility as teachers during the day. Not every parent is home during school hours. Don't complain the kids are tough this year and super behind academically. Most parents did the best that they could in an impossible situation. We are all tryign to support and figure out how to help kids now that they are back in school.
It shouldn't be shocking that the kids are behind, unable to take things seriously and much more aggressive. It's not been a typical or easy few years.  Parents are mentally spent after years of juggling. [/quote]

You are aware that many teachers are also parents, correct? We have our own children to worry about and we are also “mentally spent.” Also, I accept that the students are my responsibility during the school day. I just hope you understand that I’m taking responsibility for over 100 students a day, many of whom are academically behind and some are aggressive. Things are going to slip. I’m not superhuman. Any help you can provide as another parent is always appreciated.[/quote]
