[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I’ll be teaching new content and offering to stay late with anyone who needs additional support. I’ll go into greater detail with rigor the new content after the O day. But I am not doing zilch on those days.[/quote]

I asked if I could do that (introduce a new concept if it was going to have additional days of instruction). Got a resounding “no” from admin and central office when one administrator reaches out for clarification. The first day of a concept cannot be on an O day. Period.

It’s idiotic. I literally printed out first day of school team building activities because there is nothing we can review yet (2 whole days of content so far!)[/quote]

I’ll seek forgiveness after the fact. I didn’t ask. So I don’t know really what my school is following[/quote]

Honestly, there was a training. It is not what the school is following. It is a county wide initiative. Don’t teach new content. It isn’t a hard concept. I don’t agree with it by any means, but to say you don’t know what the school is doing is wrong. Practice a skill that you will be doing many times a year. [/quote]

100%, this is why the parents get upset . There’s always a handful of teachers who break the rules and make the rest of look bad.[/quote]
