my mom is an intervention teacher and is still under pressure to teach the kids the same lesson as the rest of their class..like why put them in intervention if they can't relearn concepts they missed

THIS 😭. my district is requiring 30 min phonics lessons for Kinders. They should not be expected to do anything for more than 10 min at a time.

As a 3rd grade teacher, YES YES YES! We are also required to do a test prep unit that is 4-6 weeks of instruction on how to prepare for our state test. WHY are we teaching to a state test? Why…?

I studied early childhood education and child psychology. I have no idea what the goal of modern public schools anymore… I home school now, and my goal is just to get them ready for college.

the passing criteria for our state testing is like 35%. they know the curriculum is too hard

I’m a sub and I have to repeatedly say, “You can do hard things!” Especially when kids complain about work being hard. This hit the nail on the head

My 4th graders have to write a thesis statement based on a prompt and passages and write a 4-5 paragraph essay 😅 I couldn’t do that until high school/ college

The majority of my high schoolers won’t even try to do an assignment without me walking them through the instructions or most of the assignment.

Yes! We need to teach in the zone of proximal development but the curriculum is far outside of it!

not a chance :
And they keep lowering the passing rate on our standardized tests. If they only need to master 40% of concepts to "pass," maybe we're doing too much??

That’s literally the prompt for the 3rd grade standardized test, CAASPP, in CA. They have to site their sources! I think of it every time I hear X kids are not reading at grade level.

Some of my 12th graders want me to “look over their essay” every time they write a single new sentence. I had to implement a “paragraph or more” rule!

in 3rd grade the most writing I had to do was like a paragraph or a Haiku. I actually really liked learning to do haikus

It’s INSANE what is expected from my 2nd grader. We homeschool and are holding back for next year because we can make the time up later as he develops at his rate
