This teacher hate is really out of control. Last year everyone was so grateful, this year we get picked apart to the bone. Guess what, we're working just as hard, if not harder.

The people who matter—my students—consistently give positive feedback about the videos I provide.

Would you rather they lecture live with a mask on? That seems like a nightmare for both the teacher and the students trying to understand the teacher and not inhale their COVID breath. It’s also an equity issue. Easy to post or email a video of a lecture to students that are absent.

You want a talking head, or do you want your kid to see how to solve a math problem or set up a physics experiment? I was blown away when I saw how my kid’s second grade teacher pre-recorded parts of the lesson and was live other parts. The kids got to see what she was talking about/teaching and then had the benefit of live exchange. It takes so much time to do these things, and I know she has little kids at home herself.

So if they stay up late making video recordings for their class the next day they’re not actually working? You people are such jerks. Preparing a video lesson takes time and effort, and most certainly counts as work. Most teachers are working their asses off.

Have you considered that teachers are professionals? They study their subject matter, child development, developmental psychology, learning disabilities, and pedagogy. When they employ “flipped classes,” it’s likely because the contemporary research indicates that this is a valid and effective teaching method. When they use videos made by other teachers, it’s likely because that other teacher explains things clearly, uses good visuals, and/or does so in an engaging way. Not all teachers working within 1-2 hrs of planning time per day can write lectures that reach a John Keating level of inspiration, so they use other tools to provide effective instruction. If you feel it’s not working well for your child, perhaps approach the teacher with your concerns instead of whining here.


Odd. You toss out some examples trying to tell the OP to stay in her lane. The proceed to explain why recorded videos are ok as if you have experience of the topics. Please stay in your lane.

This was a thing before COVID. It's called Flipped Classroom. It's not my thing but some teachers use it with success.

I dunno. Khan Academy is a useful supplement to classroom instruction.

There are many benefits to taped lessons. One is that a child can re-watch the video if confused unlike in a live lesson. Also, in many cases they free up other time. There is a whole philosophy around using taped lessons called the flipped classroom. Schools should not crack down at all--if you have to record a lesson it is likely to be better than a live one anyways. Teacher should be available during class period though for questions.

I’m confused by this post. Teachers are recording themselves teaching? If so, is that bad? It seems like that would be a good idea considering the many absences recently. Or are you saying teachers are using video resources? Is that bad? Students learn in a variety of ways.
And also… is this merely one teacher with whom you are frustrated?
