[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling bullsh@! on you being a teacher OP. If you were, you’d know that children are not the most reliable narrators. You’d also know how to go about getting a better sense from the teacher themselves. 
[b]All that said, I see teachers relying on videos for read alouds more frequently now than a few years ago. I think part of it is due to resources they developed during virtual instruction and hard copies of books not being available (in classroom/school library) so it’s easier to find a video then look for an alternative title that fits their need. 
Again, if you were a classroom teacher I think you’d understand this. [/b]

This seems like a ridiculous reason/excuse to not read to the kids. [/quote]

+1. Schools won't buy teacher's books for read-alouds? GTFO. Let a parent know. Those books will find their way into a classroom.[/quote]

Not in a Title 1 school. Barely half of my students bring in school supplies. No parent is buying books for my class. Most of the kids don’t have books at home. [/quote]

MCPS has TONS of money.  They even admitted so during one of the BOE meetings.  Make your voice heard and ask the BOE to spend more money on the things that actually help the kids (versus stupid initiatives like the Kid Museum and bocce).

We are at a FOCUS school, and we have plenty of low-income families.  Our PTA still manages to get book donations for the media center and for classrooms.  [/quote]
