teachers can't win. There's too much work, there's not enough work, it's too online, it's too offline, they contact us too much, they don't contact us, and so on.
Yep. The first two weeks after the schools were shut here there were loads of threads about schools setting too much work, parents not being able to keep up, wanting their kids to have a break, etc etc. Now it's actually the school holidays we get endless threads about not enough work and all the things parents think we should be doing even though they have no clue about what resources we have been provided with or what instructions we've been given by our school leaders.
And there's not one question about what the DfE, who are actually the ones in charge of decision making, are doing. In fact, the DfE have issued virtually no guidance because they know that schools and families are all in completely different situations and it has never been government policy for schools to have any kind of remote learning facility set up, let alone given the funding to do it. In fact, digital technology has been bottom of the list of importance for the DfE for many years. I'm still largely using the same technology at school that I used ten years ago, although then the infrastructure was at least new. Now it's just old and tired. I suggest some of the teacher bashers contact their MPs instead.
