Education / Teaching thread

This SCREAMS lack of empathy for educators to me.

That "lack of efficiency" might be being spent altering plans for the dozen or more IEPs and 504s for students, talking to coaches, band directors, club sponsors, ANYONE who may can get thought to a troubled student.


Frankly it sounds like you are pretty well insulated from the realities of most people employed in education.


We have posted articles about teacher overtime, about teachers looking for exits from education.


And you efforts are to de-validate these experiences and say "I’m telling you someone isn’t being efficient."



DO BETTER.

Yeah, his takes here are pretty bad. Maybe what he's saying is true, but even if it is it's such an extreme outlier to the well documented truth of public education in this country that it doesn't warrant consideration or discussion. Somebody working in the situation he's talking about has no place telling me, who works in a high poverty district, at a Title I school with an urgent intervention designation from the state about "efficiency." Or anything, really. No calling parents after 4pm? Lol. I'm dealing with probation officers, DCFS case workers, CASA advocates, and foster families. I don't have that kind of luxury.
