Sugar ramblings

Kids today are dumb because we treat them like they're dumb. By fourth grade I was hand writing essays in an hour with my only allowed source being the dictionary. I memorized long passages and then was expected to repeat it verbatim for a grade. I was reading books and writing book reports with the minimum length being 250 pages. And I never assumed it was too hard or above my grade level. Never once did I consider my teacher was being too hard on me. Because guess what? I did it.

I don’t know. I think talking to some teachers about what they’re actually experiencing in classrooms right now would be good. Something is happening that is … not in their control. Yelling that they should teach them to have an attention span when they’re getting fired for not using packaged courses and are literally not being allowed to discipline kids or send them to the principal or detention … like if you haven’t been inside a school recently or haven’t been talking to teachers who are teaching right now, things are different. Kids are being given unmonitored ungated chromebooks and tablets that the teachers HAVE to use, and you aren’t allowed to fail them. How are you proposing to keep 30 kids from watching YouTube and playing minecraft and making tiktoks in that environment? Especially given the absolute disaster of a strategy that the current reading method. Look up the literacy crisis.

A friend of mine is a middle school teacher. He loves it. He lives for it. It’s his world.
