Part of my classes are "Preparing for College and Careers". My 8th Graders are very off-the-chain right now. So for the last couple days they have been handwriting sections of the business ethics and principles text. They will take a test on Monday over the material. Some of them have told me that they are enjoying doing the writing (of course, a few have complained about it). Do you ever assign anything where your students have to do actual writing? How badly do they complain?

Yes🤭, I do. Students must write a five- paragraph essay each grading quarter, and after each literature unit they write responses to the question posed at the beginning of the unit. You would think I’d asked them to write a grand novel! Whining. Complaining. Crying. Tantrums. Fear.
I’m fortunate in that a writing project is a week long affair using a computer program/process; the literature response pieces are not, but the writing is better quality. My colleagues and I have done cross-curricular writing projects where we can. This helps alleviate stress all around because three people evaluate each writing: the writer and both teachers. Soooo complaining is just another thing students do, especially when they must “stick to the script” without “freestyling”!

Of course I can now say, "Wait a minute! You wrote an entire chapter a couple weeks ago. This is only 500 words!" 🤣

Every time I do my students whine about it but i still think it is a really good practice. When I was in school we had to hand write everything so they could have it much worse.

I never used to. I always thought children learning to type was a valuable skill however with the rise of AI, I have them handwriting assignments at least 2 to 3 times a month in class and that is because I tell them anytime I think someone used we’re going to the next assignment in handwriting so either they’ll stop cheating or they’ll have nothing but handwritten papers to do

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior).

Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?
