Also, I found a work around to posted work, you post a blank assignment in Google and tell the students in class what the assignment is, that way, those absent can't do it. I am not failing due to attendance, it 8s because they are missing the important discussion and interaction. This is as per my grading policy.alao, I repeated sent messages every which way informing students that they cant just do the work, they must attend the live instruction. As previously stated, mayor and chancellor demanded every student be in front of a live teacher daily. I am listening to my bosses. If you allow students to pass without ever showing up, you aren't a very good teacher. I cant wait to see those students no show work and expect to get paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-19931281908388072002020-11-06T00:24:34.048-05:002020-11-06T00:24:34.048-05:003:53.

If the student takes the test, gets a 70 let’s say for arguments sake, and does all the classwork at a 90 level, what do you give the kid? AGAIN STATE POLICY IS THAT YOU CANNOT FAIL A KID DUE TO LACK OF ATTENDANCE. it’s not my policy. I don’t agree with it. But I work for someone. (The doe). They set a policy. I have to follow it whether I like it or not. I don’t like a lot of the things the doe says as policy. But it my JOB. when you work somewhere you may not like everything you have to do or are told to do. It’s called being a grown up.

So you are saying you pass no shows if they hand in work. I think that's pathetic. Students cannot get the 60% if they are no there. I don't care if they "do the work" or not. On my guideline that I will not accept late work. They were given notice and warned. Plus, the mayor and chancellirsaid students must have live instruction daily. Students are choosing to ignore that directive. I will not pass no shows, 20%, 50% attendance. Will not do it. Many in my school do pass no shows, for the record.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-88505637502551171992020-11-05T15:39:43.204-05:002020-11-05T15:39:43.204-05:0010:17 do you even read these comments.

The marking period goes by, the end of it comes, the kid shows up to take the test for one day, and then hands in all the assignments the last day before the extra seven days after the marking period is over. The test score even if it’s not great along with the assignments which we can’t take points off for, usually add up to a 65. (Sometimes 70 or 75). The kids get the assignments from a classmate that got a good grade so how do you mark it down? Anyway I am not even defending this system I think it ridiculous. I am just explaining state and city refs to you and reality. If you don’t wan to see reality I can’t help you. Keep wearing those rose colored glasses.

I teach remotely and had parents tell me they as well as their children were drowning in work and needed support and were feeling stressed out. Some had technology issues, no wifi, and no assignments in and works was building up. I posted to the stream to work on their missing assignments letting them and parents know I was available for questions and support throughout the day and proceeded to have my day entail texting, checking on assignments, confirming and responding to submissions, and sharing my screen as needed to walk them through platforms. At the end of the day admin emailed me that upon trying to observe my session they saw I had cancelled classes and wanted an explanation. They asked why I had not taken a day if I would not be doing live sessions and I explained my reasoning and that I did not take a day off because I was still going to be working in another manner to assist my students and their families. My admin never responded, I reached out to my principal who would not speak to me until tomorrow and I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I have a two month old that I have had laying on my lap out of view while I teach, and a 21 month old, as well as an 8 year old who is also remote. I try to understand that parents have other children at home and tried to make this situation less stressful for them and allow them an opportunity to breathe easy which has resulted in me feeling that I have done something wrong. I am lost on if going live is even mandatory that they would question me about my whereabouts online, I'm debating on if I should take a leave, I am not given any directives and there is no communication and I like my parents, am drowning. I can deal w work stress from parents and teaching, but the stress from admin is pulling me further under and I am struggling with how to get back above water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-55091643452816939132020-11-05T10:14:09.383-05:002020-11-05T10:14:09.383-05:00I'm remote, they do the work from home, I inte...I'm remote, they do the work from home, I intentionally made simple assignments, they can easily do the work within 1 day for the whole term at any time.
