[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school, they barely even post-internships. I mean, they do sometimes, but not always. They don't use the grade book and only send some tests home. For example, one of my kids had an A in social studies on their interim.  Every paper that came home had an A. At the end of the quarter, they had a B. I asked the teacher about it and was told it was because of assessments they can't send home. This seems kind of bad to me.[/quote]

They can’t send the assessment home but that doesn’t mean that can’t send the grade home.  If it’s going to be factored into the grading, students should know what’s being factored in.[/quote]

Then the student can ask the teacher. Done. MoCo has the whiniest parents of any district I've ever lived in. It's absurd the amount of hand holding you expect from schools,admin, teachers, etc. instead of teaching your kids to advocate for themselves and hold themselves accountable for their own grades, actions, behaviors, etc. etc. etc. etc....[/quote]

No, we expect teachers to do the job they are paid for, which includes communicating with students and their parents.[/quote]

Well these days I'm happy if they just show up over 70% of the time. My kid's teacher for the past year is out at least 1 week per month.[/quote]

Clearly there’s a health issue then since teachers don’t get that much leave (25 days so far if you aren’t exaggerating) and need approval to miss more than four days in a row. Teachers, like every other human being, can have chronic illnesses or have children of their own with them.[/quote]

Don't think so.. I mean my kids teachers for the past two years were the same as the PP. They're constantly absent. I figured normal these days.[/quote]

The job isn’t sustainable.

I took a day off last week just so I could grade papers because weekends aren’t enough right now. I took a day of leave to grade for 10 hours.

My coworkers are doing the same thing.[/quote]
