Do teachers.....

[Fuckenstein]

Look at the Facebook time line?

Our class teachers have a Facebook page where they add information relevant to their class.

I posted a complaint on my own time line about how hard the homework was, writing a story with exactly 100 words. Took 4 drafts to get the exact amount of words, ds and I were losing the will to live (he is 7).

20 mins later DS teacher puts on the class page, don't forget home work due in 29th November so I can submit it.

Please tell me he won't have seen my rant. I forgot that I had the class as a friend and feel bad now their news feed would just literally be parents of their pupils, surely they wouldn't be interested in scrolling through that?

If you tagged the class/other parents they will probably have seen it, yes.

I didn't tag anyone, just popped it on my own time line.

If you have a problem with a homework just go ask the teacher yourself. Don’t teach your child to rant to others about an issue that is probably easily solved with a conversation to the right person.

But no he probably wont have seen.

It was just a vent, the homework is done now, it is just surprisingly frustrating to write something in an exact amount of words. We have done it now.

DS is 7, he has no clue whatsoever what I post on my Facebook account.

I'm a teacher. That homework sounds awful.

It depends on your privacy settings.

I think it's a competition, the children have chance to be published for their mini saga, so nit actually set by the teacher. My older DS was published in it when he was younger but I dint remember it having to have 100 words.

Is it Young Writers?

Yea thats it!

DS was really excited to get started, just less keen when we had to rewrite bits.

I think they all get published😀

We had to do a poem. I don't think the school makes money from it so I'm not sure why they push it so hard.

Yes, been there, got the book for 14.99 plus postage or thereabouts ...

Even if they read your rant they probably wouldn't care. Unless you're directly slagging the teacher. I'm a teaching assistant, in charge of all homework including marking, and I wouldn't care.

I think there is a prize of £500 for the school. Ah yes it was a poem that older DS had published. Terrible mum that I am, I lost the book!

There's no money for the school. It's a scam, they all get published and cost a lot. I would never let students enter it.

I wonder why the teacher was pushing it then.

Ah well it's done now. About to be conned of another £15 now
