Covid-19 school work

[howrudeforme]

The few weeks before the Easter break seemed to me somewhat disorganised. Thought it might change from tomorrow but I’ve already had a few messages with work for DC and think they’ll continue as before.

The school doesn’t ask kids to register their presence in any way. Teachers use email/the school portal /texts/ twitter to set tasks. The subjects are random and don’t follow their timetable yet some teachers,instead of adding a deadline, just say when your next class would be due (😳 - they’re on a two week timetable and I doubt if the teachers even know where we’re at).

I’ll be on a work call and school will tweet a link and passcode for a ‘live’ session - I have to shout this through to my dc. I find it chaotic. I’d find it easier with one portal.

Has your school settled into a new regime?

Does our experience sound about right and normal?

The flowers are peace and happiness.

Correction, the flowers are being posted by teachers who are fed up with having to defend the profession against goady attacks and stupid generalisations.

Many of us are still offering advice to parents who are concerned or have questions.

Correct

on any thread that says anything negative about schools

Sort of correct, anything that says anything negatively generalising about all schools and teachers. Such as your post.

If parents are having a problem with their school and it should be dealt with by contacting the school in question. Fuck it they could contact mine but we could do fuck all about the issues with individual schools.

and are being used to attack parents having problems.

and this is just drivel.

3/10 must try harder

I am in daily contact with our school - this thread asked what experience others are having so I gave my experience of my children. More helpful than posting 100 flowers and abuse like you are Fripp A lot of parents will be struggling especially those of us with SN kids who we can't just tell to do it by themselves. It is an attack and abuse to say parents are lying saying they are having problems.

My post talked about MY kids school, only generalising abuse is coming from you Fripp

Talking about schools and teachers is generalising.

I didn't say that parents aren't having problems.

But there you go making more stuff up. Like you are about teachers attacking or abusing parents.

Maybe you should step away from the keyboard.

Talking about schools and teachers is generalising.
Quite.

In fact there was a really interesting thread where parents and teachers were discussing the lack of joined up planning, impact of fragmenting the school system with academisation, differences in curriculum, why some materials wouldn't work for all schools. It was very positive and supportive.

It's a shame some people are too busy sticking the boot in and claiming teachers are calling parents liars etc when there's other very positive and productive discussions going on.

Yeah I've felt the same. It's really inane and doesn't help anyone. By all means point out why it's difficult for some schools and call out anyone making unfair or abusive comments but this stupid flower bombing any thread from a concerned parent is daft in the extreme.

[Piggywaspushed]

We have nicely explained the flowers are not an attack.

[GrammarTeacher]

Handful - but that has already been done on 100s of threads.

Will you be pulling up abusive comments, mistruths, and lies?
