Teachers are too divisive these days. Our job is to teach the students math and support them all regardless of their differences. Not to judge them by their parents politics or how they're feeling. I feel like this job used to be less controversial.

Politics or human rights issues? Because they SHOULDNT be the same thing but have been made so by certain politicians. None of us care what our students or their parents politics are. We care about our students.

Especially when state after state is coming out with lower and lower math numbers. The focus needs to be on retention and skill.

Sure it was less controversial because the political pressures and demands of parents today for their lazy low achieving kids is ridiculous

I know seriously. Wasn't it just so much simpler when we just ignored marginalized people and only focused on the majority and monoculture? (sarcasm in case it wasn't abundantly clear)

I teach math. I model being a good human and citizen, I answer appropriate questions appropriately.

Past that, not my lane.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”
