Shitty message from teacher on Google Classroom.

[Tibola]

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

I don't see how they can do 2021 gcses as they stand, if this lasts more than a few weeks

My dd does her A-levels in 2021 so I have the same worries.

Y10 should be working. Well done the teacher.

Much better for the kids to have some work to do during lockdown. Sooner they learn to work effectively at home the better. All parents should support this - does anyone really think there won’t be more lockdowns Nov-jan time?

Ladyglitter do you not think this might give some children some structure and something to do in the holidays? It's going to get harder and harder to keep children occupied as lockdown continues

Message - ✅

Shouty capitals and inappropriate thumbs up - must try harder❌

I think it's fine. I don't think she said anything wrong

Some parents finally realising it's not the teacher or the school. Haha!

Best comment ever.

Completely agree with the teacher mentioned in the original post. Facts don't care about feelings, the kids who could be bothered to submit work should be praised and those that didn't should be punished and called out.

A good life lesson for the slackers

It depends on the school and I say that as the parent of a Y10 child and a teacher of Y10.
My child's school catchment is such that the vast majority will have access to their own laptop and the school have set work in all subjects - my dc has been doing a typical school day at home without needing any help from me. She has been FaceTiming friends and emailing teachers about things she's not sure of. It's tricky to set precisely an hour of work, some subjects have set a bit much and others not enough, but it's balanced out.
Where I work is in a very different catchment and so a lot of students, particularly those in Y10 and Y12 were given laptops to take home. There are a handful of children without internet at home and they are still coming to school. We are setting an adapted version of what we'd be doing at school. We are sensitive to difficult home circumstances and make allowances. However, I think you're being precious and I think that teacher was offering support at the end of the paragraph. Teachers can misjudge tone, they may well have toddlers running around and be worrying about their partner's job too. I think you're probably projecting this stressful time onto that.

Here is the thing, for some of these pupils (and I say this especially year 10) it will be 5-6 months before they do any school work, there will always be something of more importance to do.

In two months the NEA will start, When they start they will be 3-4 months behind where they should be. Even just in toughts and initial research.

then we will start the usual after school sessions to catch up with the work that they have missed and have to do to get their grades.

I for one am not looking forward to the constant battles with both the parents and pupils using this as an excuse not only for incomplete work but for not attending detentions/catch ups etc.

Think the caps makes it rude and not everyone has the internet or child may be ill . My yr 10 has got work and they are monitoring they are doing but have also said to contact of no access to pc /internet or your child is ill so they can take in to account

We hope to be open In September but we have no idea.

We have nor been told any dates or if the school will open or close over the 6 weeks. We just don't know.

Your child is in Y10. Of course they should be completing the bloody work. They will have exams next year and are losing precious curriculum time. At their age, you shouldn’t need to supervise. What I consider rude is your 15 year old (yes FIFTEEN, not FIVE) not bothering with the work set as the teacher is trying to teach your child remotely. Get a grip Op and ask your child why their name wasn’t on the list.

Year 10,

Get real & stop bloody mollycoddling them, of course that message is perfectly okay at that age 🙄

OPs childs name WAS on the list.

Poor teachers, they’re really under it and now they have to worry about some parents pulling apart their messages to the young people they teach.

I think it is totally fair for a child of that age. I thought at first we were talking about Primary age kids. I’m in Scotland so a bit confused by year 10, but I’m guessing it’s like 13/14 year old in which case they should be taking responsibility for their own learning and making sure they do it.

I have 2 kids, 1 who is 9 and the other is 13. My 9 year old has work he can do if he chooses and quite frankly I’m not bothered one way or another, but my 13 year old must do his work every day. I don’t see any messages from teachers or anything though, because he logs in himself and makes sure he does it. I’d expect them to take control of it at that age.

Sounds fine to me, especially for such old pupils

That would annoy me... I’m working from home and a single parent... we don’t stick to doing school work during typical school hours 100% of the time because it just isn’t practical, typically we do it of an afternoon and catch up on some bits at the weekend. It all gets done just not necessarily on that set day... and that purely because I cannot work and teach at the same time.

Did you say you're a teacher 😳....you should have spell checked before posting.... just saying 😂.

Its rude! One of DD’s teacher posted something last weekend and said ‘if this is not complete on Monday and emailed to me you will be getting detention when we are back at school’ all her other teachers have been lovely, even the headteacher sent out a nice letter saying ‘hope you are all ok and staying safe etc etc, try and complete some of the work provided to keep a bit of structure to the day, but not too much that it effects your family relationships and dynamics’. I do agree with some work being sent out, but its impossible to get through 5 lessons worth of work a day when the children are effectively teaching themselves, it takes longer than it would the teacher to explain in a lesson. Its a lot of stress on the children aswell as parents, especially for those of us who are key workers and still going out to work, were not always there to help them with it!

I would be Naming and shaming that teacher on social media. See how they like it. We have been told that we are not expected to be able to teach our children the school syllabus in the way school does, and not to stress by trying to do too much class work.

Everyone is doing the best they can in very difficult circumstances. Things like this are not productive and cause nothing but upset and resentment.

No one is expecting the OP to teach her 14 / 15 year old child. Also from what she's posted the school are being very lenient on the amount of work for a year 10 pupil.

English assignment - read an extract and answer two questions.

Maths - link to hegerty. Go to hegerty and it’s the same weekly homework they always get

Geography - project on Asia. Actually quite in depth. Hand in by Easter

Snowflake generation (or their parents) cannot take criticism of their precious offspring... Why should she go over it again? If a lot of the students year 10 cannot be bothered to put in the effort then tough!

Is any finding else finding the home schoolin hard.... i am doing my best its hard to get it all completed. I am not a teacher. I am sure your teacher hasent meant it 2 upset any 1.
