Wendy Beuglas :
I teach economics and I see the similar results. They don’t want to put in the work to get the grade. So frustrating.

I have the same problem in my Algebra 2 classes. It’s very frustrating as a first year teacher. After break, I’m talking with them.

I’m so glad you did this data. It’s so important that we see this.

I got my degree in math, and after doing poorly on a calc 2 test, I started working every problem from the book. Set the curve every time

Yes! Math is not a spectator sport. You have to participate in learning.

Kids don’t care anymore. College/success was the extrinsic motivation, now there’s no extrinsic or intrinsic motivation

It’s frustrating bc so many people are pushing the no homework and that’s just not an option for math. I teach HS math as well.

I told my high schoolers - I can lead you to water, but instead of drinking y’all are splashing around in it like it’s a kiddy pool 🤦🏻♀️

Experiencing the same…you mean 15 minutes of study time won’t earn me a good grade?!?

I teach 7th, and they act like I’m torturing them when I assign a review that is the exact test questions!

To learn math you have to do math. If your math don’t math, you gotta remath your math.

It’s infuriating. Just do the work and you’ll see the results in your tests!

sillygooseontheloose2020💙 :
Just gave a test. Had 50% failure. Kids aren’t doing their own work or being an active listener. I’ve definitely been frustrated.

Janine :
Same here!! The amount of missing assignments is ridiculously higher than completed one. Test today- they were either fabulous or horrible!

I’m always confused :
I can remember coming home and doing required math homework every night for a grade. Homework is optional now and is called practice.

How can a math teacher understand data so poorly and draw a “definitive” conclusion from this
2023-11-22 05:27:37

mark BQ :
Amazing how that works. Math teacher too, had a girl fail first quarter and then said wow if I do the class work and take notes I get it. A for 2nd quarter

Jennifer Landers :
My kid does well on all practices, but fails tests. The 80/20 scale has him failing math. Test anxiety is real for him.

I feel ya. HS bio teacher and our scores are terrible. Kids admit not studying

Momof3fla :
It’s the same in my AP History courses… they just refuse to read or do the work outside of class

Do you teach correlation and causation?
2023-11-22 03:39:38

Brittany Allen :
I see the same effort and grade correlation in my science classes. It blows my students’ minds that they have to do the work to do well.

Eileen Vlamis :
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I tell my students that I’m happy to help them, but they have to help themselves first! Active note taking and actually do the HW

ajlovell4 :
You are not alone. I had kids use their notes on a test and still had a significant number of kids who failed.

As a high school math teacher, I needed to see this. Thank you.

I did this. Play my Kahoot and do my study guide. You will pass the test. Amazing!

Are study habits/skills--not knowledge--the biggest casualty of the pandemic?

Sarah Hunt :
I wrote a formula on the board for a test today and still had kids use an incorrect formula.

This is how I became an honors kid. I did the work. I am not smart at all and remember nothing.
2023-11-21 23:24:37

Tim Bellomo :
careful; it could be that the students most likely to pass in the first place are the ones willing to do the work. correlation/causation potential.
2023-11-21 22:24:48

amelia bencich :
an 86% was not worth the effort to me. but then again I did maybe one or two of the assignments and never failed a test

Trying to get students to write anything is a struggle! I give answers for SG’s…no attempt at all. 😑

I need to hear this! Teaching College science is heartbreaking. They are all just failing because they won’t DO even the bare minimum.

That’s the data we need! Amazing how successful students can be when they do the work.
2023-11-22 12:38:42

user3860986219743 :
Yep. Same with HS English. If you don’t read the texts AND don’t listen in class…. guess what? Failing. But if you do both? As or Bs. 🤷🏻♀️

Are you able to send this video to the parents and students through email and not TT? I would want to see this as a parent. Happy Thanksgiving!

Anna Jewel Mask :
I always thought I was bad at math because I CONSTANTLY had to work at it but my math teachers in high school told me I was deeply internalizing

Retired math teacher here. Things haven't changed much, but it is very frustrating when they won't even try!
