How do you handle a class who refuses to do homework? It is a lower level class (I.e. not honors) but they are capable, but so apathetic. On a good day 40-50% of kids will do it .. I’m at a loss.

Wow you had a much higher percentage doing their work. There were days when I assigned hmw, out of a class of 15-20, only two or three would do it. I literally couldn't count it because their grades were tanking. So yeah following for advice as well.

I don't assign homework, unless it's a high value HOTS based assignment.
1. They won't do it.
2. If you're not brave enough and/or mean enough to let their grade tank, you're enabling them to be irresponsible.

I give assign practice quizzes through quizziz about the grammar or vocabulary topic we are on for that week. It becomes like an extra credit grade. Those that do them get the points those that don’t get nothing, not even a 0. This seems to be the most successful for me. It also gives me a way to say “your extra credit is the quizziz. Let’s look at how many you have done.

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

Any ideas for discouraging students from using Google translate, or like services? I tell students they need to rely on their brains, after all it is the original computer.

With the no homework movement in schools I'm really torn. I preach repetitive input and practice to help not only learn but retain the language. How do you get your Ss get the reps without homework?

In the hallway having a conversation in Spanish with another Spanish teacher, a staff member shouts out to us, “speak English, this is America.” I stopped and asked her “really?” She said “I don’t understand it,” to which I said, “we weren’t talking to you, you don’t need to understand.” To make it worse, this is the second time she has said this to me. What could I say next time so she never tells me this again? I heard she has told other kids this too, we have a very high ESL population…
