Shitty message from teacher on Google Classroom.

Congratulating the 10 kids who completed the assignment and giving their names. And then in block caps:

FOR ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT COMPLETE THIS I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK OVER THIS IN CLASS 👍

Rude much?!! And no, their school isn’t open for key workers before anyone jumps on me and says how busy she must be

OP posts:

Thanks

That’s dreadful. I’m shocked that a teacher would send that message.

Thanks

Backyard72 · 29/03/2020 14:08

Pretty fair really I'd say.

Thanks

BrooHaHa · 29/03/2020 14:08

She won't have time to go over it in class unless the school is open over the summer. This school shut down is replacing lesson time.

Thanks

bernardswatchplease · 29/03/2020 14:08

I don't think that's rude

Thanks

Irial · 29/03/2020 14:08

So how would you have worded this?

Thanks

WhyNotMe40 · 29/03/2020 14:09

What age group are the students?

Thanks

CoatTails · 29/03/2020 14:09

I think it’s fair too!

Thanks

Hercwasonaroll · 29/03/2020 14:09

I'm not surprised. Cut the teacher some slack. I bet they will have pressure from above to ensure students are completing the work set. If I was you I'd email the head of department or head of year explaining that you have prioritised your child's mental wellbeing this week. It might make the leadership team think.

Thanks

Sushiroller · 29/03/2020 14:10

Pretty fair really I'd say.

Yup

Thanks

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 29/03/2020 14:10

Didn’t think old school show trial teaching still existed

Thanks

PoopyPanda · 29/03/2020 14:10

Seems fair enough to me.

Thanks

LastTrainEast · 29/03/2020 14:10

What specifically is wrong about it?

Thanks

Whiffenpoofs · 29/03/2020 14:12

What would you want the teacher to say? They have a curriculum to stick to. There has to be some give and take on both sides - why have some children completed the assignment and others not? Remote learning doesn't mean a holiday from school life.

How old are the DC being taught?

Teachers really can't do anything right at the moment.

Thanks

Imisscheese · 29/03/2020 14:12

They won't have time to go back over it in lessons. Students need to do the work. 10 is not many from a whole class.

Thanks

Mendeleev · 29/03/2020 14:12

That is rather rude. Why are they trying to teach new stuff anyway? How ridiculous.

I have left my students a message saying upload what you can and my school are only setting consolidation work.

What if the kids/parents are ill? They shouldn’t be naming and shaming.

Thanks

Boredbumhead · 29/03/2020 14:13

Very very rude. Outrageous.

Thanks

OhioOhioOhio · 29/03/2020 14:15

I'm a teacher and I tjink if complain about that. She has no clue about your circumstances.

Thanks

Eggcited · 29/03/2020 14:15

How old are the children?

Thanks

BlackCatSleeping · 29/03/2020 14:15

I also wonder how old they are. If they are 6, it's a bit off. If they are 16, then it's fair enough. I'd just put it down to covid stress and cut the teacher some slack.

Thanks

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 29/03/2020 14:17

Sounds fair to me. It sounds as if the kids have had the chance to complete the work and get feedback on it - if they've decided not to take advantage of that then...

What about it do you think is "shitty"?

Thanks

Tibola · 29/03/2020 14:17

Year 10. DS did actually do the work.

“If you haven’t managed to complete the assignment yet please email me to discuss, this won’t be covered again so you will need to compete. If you are struggling to access the material or need help please let me know”

If kids could all learn by just logging on to a PC and autonomously getting on with it what the hell are we wasting money on school buildings for?

Thanks

Tibola · 29/03/2020 14:18

What do I think is shitty?

-The tone
-The caps
-The passive aggressive thumbs up

OP posts:

Thanks

SeriouslyRetro · 29/03/2020 14:18

The thing is, the fact 10 did submit the work requested shows it was achievable.

She’s just laying out that the children (and parents) have a responsibility for their education. She can’t make them do it, but she’s letting them know that’s their call.

Did your child have difficulty in completing the work? Is there a way to communicate difficulty with the teacher?

Thanks

chocoholico · 29/03/2020 14:19

very rude.

a lot of parents WFH and it's really, really hard if not impossible to home school of you are on you work laptop and in calls all day.

Some parents and a lot of time on their hand right now but it is is not the case for many.

I have a child in primary, one with complex SN and work from home 5 days a week. I don't school because I am lazy but because cirmstances don't really allow it. I would not be happy with this message.

Thanks

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 29/03/2020 14:19

Why are they trying to teach new stuff anyway?

It depends what age group the students are. If Yr 10 or L6 - well, there's a course to be getting on with.

Thanks
