[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch movies at home. There are plenty of things teachers can have kids doing in these last weeks - even without computers and without grades - with even a little forethought. Good god, one-to-one laptops has become an excuse for zero creativity or hands-on experiences like have been done for decades.

Even an option of (a) silent reading or (b) board games for all students would provide enrichment/valuable use of time and not involve screens.[/quote]

[b]Fine but then give teachers two days paid at the end of the year to pack everything up and do the end of the year checklist then. The reason they are showing movies is that they aren’t given days without students to get all of that stuff done[/b]. [/quote]

You’re kidding, right? They do get an extra day. Their contract goes through June 13. If they cannot pack up in 7.5 hours, there’s something wrong with the teacher’s organizational skills.

Hahahahahahahahaha
Ok then. You do know  Marie Kondos show was not actually only 23 minutes right.? I think the deepest form of Karenism is the inability to have empathy and respect for things you don’t have first hand experience in. To make you more aware,  we teachers have a lot of hands on materials interesting items (bee hives bird nests magnets) etc. not to mention the math materials. 
Thanks for your judgement and I hope your child never has a teacher who attempts to bring in their own materials and manipulatives. If they do it may take a while for them to pack up at the end of they year and that would be horrible![/quote]

Haha! I taught 4th grade for 15 years in FCPS. I definitely brought in many of my own materials, books and supplies. Again, if you’re struggling to pack up given the planning time, and a full workday, you might want to look at how you’re organizing your materials. [/quote]

I teach a pre-k inclusion class- thanks so much for the advice- I’m sure you know all about it :) 4th grade is JUST LIKE Prek with the level of materials you use - you may want to look at the judgements you make of  other teachers [/quote]
