Gosh, the simple answer would be for the parent to encourage her child to do the work, helping her child. Then maybe she wouldn’t get 17 emails a day from concerned teachers that only want her child to succeed.
Obviously it’s the teachers who are at fault, darn them for trying to reach out to my child in this unprecedented crisis. 🤣🤣🤣
I want to see who these “17 emails” are from. My guess would be the daily message from the superintendent, notices from the kitchen about the free meals, emails from the principal. Where the other 14 are coming from is beyond me! I am not sending two messages a day...
I think it’s frustrating because some teachers take it too far while others are trying to be understanding. Of course I only need to worry about what I can control, but it’s difficult when another teacher is expecting to much or making contact incessantly. We were supposed to do well checks on kids, each teacher got a certain amount of kids from the list and left comments. Some kids got called 3-4 times when everyone was only supposed to be called once. Some teachers just can’t follow instructions.
We, the team, are currently emailing about this. 2/7 post assignments once per week, 1 posts daily. All three of us estimate our work is no more than 30 min/day. Considering the kid did minimal work before this shut down, highly doubt he is doing much now. He has done none of my work and another teacher reports he only started work today. Some parents will believe anything!
Our school set up a place on our website with a weeks worth of lessons. Student gets choice of a lesson for each core subject a day that does not extend over 20 mins a piece. We're a middle school and feel that students shouldn't be doing no more than 1.5 hrs per day. We mass email 1x per week. We post uplifting messages and working on building relationships with parents. Be kind this is new to EVERYONE even teachers. We're learning as we go.
17 is better than none, right? darned if you do, darned if you don't. we're all just trying to do what we can. the parent needs to chill and just help their child learn and do what they can.
Only post work 1x per week, like you are doing already and only send one email per week.
I don’t mean to sound mean, but it does seem like some teachers are going overboard. There is a lot of uncertainty right now and the parent part of me is sort of thinking who cares about these assignments, I just want my kid to stay healthy. For many there is the concern of how will I pay bills and buy food. I guess the notices from school are just one more source of anxiety.
I think I figured it out. We are using google classroom, when you post to the stream it sends an email, but it also sends one for each item you upload into the class work tab. So if you are loading different items to give your students choices, loading work from the past so students can bring up grades, they get an email for each
