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

@Tibola I’m a teacher (Secondary) and I think that is rude and unprofessional tbh.

I would probably send a message saying thanks to those who have managed to do the assignment (definitely would NOT name them) and I would probably ask those that haven’t individually if they are having any issues accessing the work I.e with technology or extra help. We do not know every child/families circumstances and we also have to remember that some students, especially at gcse level will struggle to do work at home independently and some parents may still be working too/not have a clue about the subject themselves.

Also, my DD school are setting work at a much higher rate than I, a teacher, can get through with her so can’t imagine how a none teacher parent would manage with the work load. Most parents will be trying their best, thats all most teachers ask for OP so just keep doing what you’re doing hun.

I think she has forgotten to change the wording to redirect the current situation, tbh the home learning is a learning curve for everyone, myself pitching at different ages as well as the working styles of the school, their systems and staffing issues. we have comments from Private school Friends saying how marvellous they are doing then the primary state schools are struggling!, but this going to dig up so many Other issues across all households. Even bloody Food shopping has been a topic bled dry! As well as sticking to the rules, too many things going on 😄👍

Completely agree. By year 10 they should be responsible. It’s GCSE next year. Stop molly coddling. Iv got one child who is working her six hours a day on school work and one who is doing nothing. I back the snotty emails from his teachers.

What these teachers need to understand is that parents are not at home having a jolly while this is happening. Most are working full time from home or are in a out of worry about how to pay the bills while they are on unpaid leave. Give the parents a break because they are not teachers and should not be expected to be.

But surely a Y10 pupil is old enough to contact the teacher if they are struggling to get the work done. Yes there may be a couple where illness in the family has made them ignore their schoolwork but not the majority of the class.

Absolutely rude.
As a teacher, I would not expect many pupils to complete any work during these unprecedented times.
She should be more understanding

Year ten 😂 Not rude. Fair enough really. If the teacher has spent ages setting it then it should be done by the deadline (unless of course the child is sick).

This is rude. A little tact/better wording and less use of CAPS would take little effort and no extra time.

Frankly thi sis the year that will be most effected by the shutdown - they will be missing a whole term of teaching out of their 6 term GCSE programme. Not sure where or how you expect them to cover the stuff if not like this. They are just trying to get this across and quite rightly getting frustrated by those not participating

also year 10 kids should be able to work without supervision

Learning to self motivate - they will have to do it this way in UNI if they get there so it stands them in good stead

The teacher might have over 100 students’ work to keep track of; if a student dies not keep up with things it would impact their ability to do tasks which follow on, certainly at GCSE.
If, as we expect, schools will not be back to normal until September, then a substantial amount of work will have to be taught online.
The teacher will probably end up revising the work eventually, but that might be a whole year away. I think it’s fair enough. Do the work or fall behind - there’s too much to cover and 99 other students to deal with.

And year 10 students are 14 and 15.

Year 10 should be able to understand this situation and complete the work themselves. They will no doubt have to sit GCSEs next year having missed a terms teaching - they need to be focused. I would be annoyed if this had come from a primary teacher but at year 10 they should be getting on with it.

100% the teacher was right in saying what she did. Say she has 25 in her class and only 10 did it, why should she plan work round 25 students and only 10 actually do so. My son is only 9, his teacher gave them all a day off on Thursday (unexpected) but every other day has been logged on chatting with them all regularly about anything she has set. He’s not wasting her time by not completing what she has asked of him!

The thumbs up was unnecessary (and agreed, passive aggressive) but the statement is sound.

@Pentium85 even if they were Y10?

If DS(15) didn’t have schoolwork he would be spending most of his time in lockdown on PS4 (especially whilst DH and I were working). I know what I prefer him to be doing.

He needs to keep up to date as much as possible with GCSEs looming. Yes they may have to change the goalposts for next year but DS was doing well with his subjects before school closed and I don’t want him to throwaway all the hard work he and his teachers have done so far.

Whatever they do with GCSEs I am assuming those who have done no work in the next 6 months before they go back in September will be at a disadvantage, even if it because they will have forgotten all their previous work and not consolidated it or their brains will be mush down to all the gaming they have done and getting back into the discipline of schoolwork will be really hard.

I think the thumbs up was a positive. It means let’s ALL crack on together in that context.

This is so mild I wouldn't think twice about it. Seriously

As a teacher, I would not expect many pupils to complete any work during these unprecedented times.

Really?

The OP is talking about a year 10 class. I would expect a few to be unable to complete work, for illness or other circumstances. However, they would be in the minority and should discuss this with their teacher.

This is likely to last months. If they have the permission of their teacher to spend the next few months doing the bare minimum or nothing, then that teacher will have let their students down.

I havent had to supervise my year 7 child that much. I've looked over his essay, asked him if done his homework and that's it really. A year 10 class should be doing the work set without constant supervision by parents. She could have been less rude, but how much work has been completed by the class so far? Maybe shes fed up of it and felt they needed a virtual blocking.

We are struggling doing our best as we have 3 primary school age and a baby.
I think its very stressful but to all those finding it hard just do your best its all we can do.
I do think the teacher was rude your child is only 10, we are not teachers we are parents & doing what we can.

I imagine the caps stems from having had 30 emails asking her questions about basic things she's already typed up in black and white.

I do think the teacher was rude your child is only 10,

Not 10, year 10. So 14 / 15 years old.

Mysocalledlifexx The child isn’t 10. They are in year 10, mid-way through GCSEs and old enough to do the work without parental input or supervision.

Bold fail

So, because she’s not “busy at the moment” means she’s not experiencing an extremely stressful and worrying time?, give her a break for forks sake.
