Tough week to be sure. Probably half the students aren't there. It makes

doing anything meaningful hard to do. It creates double the workload for the teacher that then has to re-teach to all the kids that weren't there not to mention the grading mess. But go ahead and blame the teacher for the dozens of parents who decided not to send their kids to school on a school day.

The same thing happens. My kids get the whole week. Week previous is phoned in.

days before holidays are pretty worthless. Wouldn't read much into it.

It's not meant to be education. It's daycare under the label of "school."

That's BS.

Interesting take Ted.

This attitude right here is one of the major problems a teacher faces.

O Gaucho

11/20/23 4:10pm

I agree completely. But don't you also agree that society has embraced this

Choke

11/20/23 4:20pm

I would disagree whole heartedly for a majority of the students I used to teach.

Would you share said research?

Let me see what I can find Tweege. This was in Chicago IIRC.

Same for my kids in public schools. They'll spend more time reading books than I
