How considerate!

Motivation is a strong driving force...

... omg ... this had not occurred to me. The horror. Do you think it'll be balanced out by the ones just grateful to give use their sprogs back?!

well, i haven't done that with a classroom, but that sounds an awful lot like being a construction project manager too. If there's a difference between 45 year old men and 9 year old boys, i'll give you a dollar

It seems like no one uses any punctuation on social media at all so they over use it on signs around town. I cringe whenever I see a sign that says LUNCH SPECIAL HOT DOG'S

They always wondered...

And you magically make sure those kids also stay at their 6 feet apart desks, not being kids and run around and hold hands, pull hair, whisper into each other's ear etc.

How sad that all those people somehow managed to get all the way through their school years not knowing how to spell, punctuate, and use the proper tense.

Isn't that true for most people who are essential in daily life? Instead, celebrities get praised who upload five videos of their mental breakdowns in theior mansions (could not decide which of the six bathrooms to use when taking a dump) and then raising money but selling an old t-shirt ("for corona charity").

lol I totally wanted to do that!

The powerpoint? The same powerpoint we worked on yesterday? The same one I shared via Email, Teams & Sharepoint? IN THE SAME UNIT FOLDER SINCE FEBRUARY? A level biologist wanting to become a GP here people - no I am not grading them a grade higher than their D average this term.

Feel the power!

Gotcha, you little whiner!

Instead they take screenshots and make memes of you...

I agree, the last one that I did - imagine my horror to discover a few students missing and went looking for them, they were out back smoking, and one of them was my own son.

That's a bit creepy

I wish my school had taught cooking. My husband says I suck at it!

And mute them...

She must be Minnesotan... they say "Ope" a lot

Reach out to those parents!!! If I hear that one more time...I'm an art teacher for pete's sake, why am I contacting parents about missing ART work.

My school made "adults" pay ×2 for the same lunch/size they gave the kids.

Definitely different answers than if it had been regular school.

Until the day after someone notices.

At least with the moans you know that they are actually listening!

I really hope that parents are having a look-see to make sure their little precious offspring has at least made their bed and kicked all the dirty dishes out of sight.

Sense of humor will take him far

@Edward Doherty why did this make you so mad 😂 jeez fam chill she's a teacher

I'm an introvert and really have to push myself in social situations. But as a Teacher's Assistant for Physics or helping tutor in the combined Math/Physics study room I had no problems because I was doing something I loved with other people that had the same interest.

Yeah- I have gained 11 lbs since I stopped going to school to teach. I would churn out 10,000 steps by lunchtime. Now I'm lucky if I do 7.

So exactly the same as office hours IRL unless the exam is tomorrow

My son spotted his teacher's car in a parking lot. Spent 30 minutes in the store looking for her afterwards.

Yeah. My English and math teachers have video chats twice a week where they answer questions and I don't think very many people come. I believe it the last time I went on one was week one or two and it's week 6 now. There were only a few other kids when I went.

I can relate. I can no longer physically do my job so mentor people on line. But it takes more energy to make sure everything is done correctly and you're focus 100%.

Amen!

Honestly that should be a taught to us parents. Then I can now when my kid is bullsh*tting me about his homework.

Oh thank God! I thought that it just me.

Like the 5 year old who took his parents' car out on the road alone. Both parents were at work and the older sibling was home but...

Oh, I just read about this teacher today, he has the virus. Hope he is okay.

Suddenly..

What do you mean that I don't have enough credits to graduate?

The teachers I appreciate are the ones who made sure I learned what they were teaching. They were tough, thorough, kind, and sticklers for doing things properly. Forget the gifts which have always seemed like bribes more than appreciation. My college English professor was so knowledgeable and made sure we all knew the material he taught or we didn't pass the class. He set up 20 minute meetings for each student in every class every week at which he would dissect that week's essay. I took his classes for all four years, grammar, composition, and literature and he required essays in all of them! I can't imagine how much time that must have taken but 50 years later I am still appreciative of his caring. He left my small college a couple of years after I graduated and moved to a large university. At the time, no one knew where he had gone, not even his colleagues at my college. Years later I was able to track him down and called him to tell him what an effect he had had on me. Con't.

Did, Did, Did he just freaking cuss on social media where both his students and school can see?

Use on screen keyboard

Is this missing something, or am I missing something?
