Then some kids decide to replace their Zoom tile with a picture of a cartoon character. The rest of the class is distracted. No one is learning about music. The class time is ticking on.
It's a role Julianne feels acutely, leading her to personally drive classroom resources to some students' homes in order to help keep them on track. "Because I teach history having all those different perspectives is so great in the classroom," Ridley says. "I constantly tell them, you are your own best resource."With many students still learning English, Ridley says it can be doubly difficult for some to understand lessons via a screen and even harder to participate when language skills are still developing.Ridley faces his class each morning to teach to a screen of nothing: very few students turn on their camera.
I work in schools and students are doing far more work at home than at school. Completion rate is high with far less distractions. Teachers are able to focus on teaching rather than trying to control the class.
Totally not the poor pay, understaffing, and poor logistical support, though. Right?
Gladys is on $7885 per week. You lot are all in this together
The teachers at my kids school are actually doing less and less and pushing it back to the parents via Microsoft Teams and OneNote. Not sure where or why there is a breaking point for them when they are copying and pasting YouTube and Google Images for a living.
My understanding from my colleagues is that they are now full time teachers, part time workers. Those who with no kids heavily gossiped about those with kids as they need to work more to cover them. For the next restructure, I know who are up in my list. This is reality.
Ahhh, let's start Gladys's propaganda to push unvaccinated teachers back into classrooms full of unvaccinated students... what could possibly go wrong.... why stop at 700 children requiring hospital care?
Now also add in remote learning a grade 1 student (who just receives work sheets so need help understand what is required) and entertaining a pre schooler while being online teaching.
ABCFactCheck Can we fact check this against geographic, socio-economic status of children & access to technology. Also break down between private and public school. Should also include Indigenous, CALD, disabled access to quality remote learning. Not to mention supporting data.
I know a teacher in a private school .. he doesn't mind online learning one bit. I'm calling bs on this one
It must be hard to continue earning your full salary when your customers are being taken care of by their parents. Where is the article about the parents who can't work during the day so are either unemployed or working nights and weekends because they are homeschooling?
Are they getting paid? If so the stfu
I am sure you mean remote learning not home school.
what about the students
Ultimately it is beyond politicians but the people. Compliance lethargy will get very high when over 70% Vax Kids need playground, schools people needs basic dental, psychological, surgery services ,jobs Businesses need income. 2 years is about break point
In Ontario Canada this year online learning went on for about five months. Kids are resilient and will be fine. Teachers are exhausted. It’s not as easy as some make it out to be.
Teachers have a hard enough job at the best of times. Under resourced, de-facto psychologists, social-workers in addition to 'stock' teachers duties. Not too mention the abuse they cop from parents all too willing to pass the buck on their responsibilities, they are out there.
Teachers pushed? They no longer need to supervise kids just assign and check work for their 5-6 hours a day, boo hoo Life is so hard
I know high school students from different schools across NSW who have not been given an opportunity to participate in online classes. Rather, they are given a list of activities to complete by the end of the day, which is considered sufficient for covering the syllabus.
