Turn Up Tina
General Manager
Y’all I’m loosing my motivation They’re constantly observing us telling me what I’m not doing right in my virtual learning space. Forcing guided reading on us! Like are you kidding me? I don’t mind small groups, but guided reading over a computer?!
The kids never do any work even when I give them AMPLE time during our live lessons to complete it. The parents claim their kids can’t get on to the site and it’s not their fault but they can be on tik tok and YouTube during class. Or they don’t “remember” what the book was about when we’ve been discussing the same book for weeks! I have parents literally doing their children’s work and answering for them during class. I have parents telling me what their kid will and won’t do and it’s usually the ones that need the help the most. It’s just ridiculous.
I’m just over teaching in this virtual space. It was hard enough in person with all the mandates and everything else but now I feel like it’s even harder. I get in trouble when admin says kids can’t access the material on the stupid platforms they force us to use.
I wanted to give the classroom another year before I transitioned but this year is making me rethink it. I knew I’d leave the classroom eventually and I’m in a doctoral program now for education policy but at this point it’s looking that’ll happen sooner rather than later smh. /rant
