I teach 11th and 12th grade English. Currently We're hybrid the rest of the year...my classes are about 50/50 brick and mortar and online learning. My brick and mortar kids are doing the norm and progressing. My online learners for the most part aren't doing the work and are struggling. Most of...

Couldn't read link (ad-blocker) but the standards and curricula are up to each state to adopt and disperse to their districts as they wish. The federal government and Trump have no Constitutional authority to implement this. They could cut funding to states that don't implement it sure, but they...

I would absolutely love this as a teacher. You'd quickly learn that there's really no liberal conspiracy in the schools (K-12 at least), and see why school scores suck so much. There's no consequences for the kids' actions anymore. Yesterday I had a parent complain when I didn't accept from...

I teach and live in one of the hot spots of the nation. Our school have been opened now for 2 months. We have about 1,400 kids face-to-face at the moment. We've had 9 confirmed cases (all students), 0 deaths from Covid, and 0 hospitalizations. I've never seen a larger example of mass hysteria...

I don't disagree with you...but they should also have the right to elect for online learning if they wish. English. For full disclosure my failing students has dropped to 35. Usually I have 2-3 kids failing so this is exceptionally high. I've spoken with other teachers at the school I have a...

Re-read my post. My school is currently open the only students who're doing online learning are the ones whose parents have elected for online learning.

Ginsburg's wishes should have no affect on how the government is run. I hate to admit it though but the Democrats do have a point that the Republicans blocked Obama's nominee because it was an election year and this year will push their nominee through regardless. I think they're potentially...

I have about 100 online students this year (high school, 11th and 12th grades), plus an additional 70 or so face-to-face. I have 42 kids failing at the moment because they haven't turned in a single assignment. Almost all of whom are online students and most of whom are seniors and I teach a...

I'm sure this exists at a few schools (my district would never allow this mind you), but I do find it odd that the school is never stated in the source? The notion that teachers (K-12) are overwhelming liberal just isn't so. Sure the school boards might be in many cases, but based on my...

Poor schools in my district get significantly more funding and resources for both teachers and students. Guess what? They still underperform compared to their middle class and upper class peers. When you have kids that come from neighborhoods full of drug dealers, violence, guns, gangs, many of...

Trump should still nominate somebody (Obama did as well mind you). But yes it is hypocritical and looks really bad for Republicans among independents if they do the same exact thing they slammed Democrats for trying to do recently.

Common Core is nothing but a scapegoat for people to use for the education system. Politicians like to say they're going to get rid of it because it looks good. Perfect example: Desantis brags about getting rid of Common Core. Well there's on problem: he never replaced it with anything so the...

So you think it's subjective that serving a volleyball is easier than hitting a fastball?

They get per diem for road games. I don't know where you got such a stupid idea. http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/championships-diem-increase

Yes they do.
