@myteacherface: What do YOU do when students FLAT OUT refuse to do work? For the last 20-25 years of my career I took the non-confrontational route with my students. If it’s a one-time thing, I don’t get my shorts in a knot. But if there’s a second time where I have to say, “You’re not going to do it? Ok.”I’d then document everything that I talk about in the video instead of getting into a back-and-forth with the student in front of their classmates. #Myteacherface #teacher #teacherlife #funnyteacher #teachercomedy #teachers #teachersoftiktok #tiktokteacher #teaching
I have the student sign a sheet saying they refuse to do the work. Then I screen shot it and send it in an email home.

A lot of kids lost hope. Many of them don’t see the point of learning. if they are going to get a low paying job anyway and work until they die like their parents. It’s sad but true.

I wish elementary teachers had time to document all this!

The email you talk about being sent to the student, parent, etc. is that the same email? Or do you separately email the student with different content?

could just be me but any of my students ever who were super disengaged and super disrespectful always had something going on, sometimes at school and sometimes at home. Just because you don’t specifically know why a child isn’t engaged doesn’t mean they don’t have smth external effecting them. Take this with a grain of salt i’m very young and while i work in education i have never worked at a school.

Yeah, but your admin needs to LET you give them a 0. My kids wouldnt hand in their work and our school gave a policy that we could only give as low as a 50 so that their GPA wouldn’t tank…yeah, the consequence of their actions! I left teaching a few years ago, Godspeed to all educators

the education system is rigged against them. I don't blame them for checking out.

But in Canada no student is left behind so they pass to the next grade anyway

There is ALWAYS a reason. We just don't always know what it is. Or it's not BIG enough for people to "care"

I was one of these students, don’t get me wrong I had a lot going on at home but regardless, my teachers where incredibly helpful and I’m forever grateful for it. I did get a lot of consequences from it on the system and phones calls home and school counsellor, and I still didn’t do anything, my math teacher often let me sleep at the back of the class after doing 3 questions instead of 30

no matter what you think, there is always a bigger problem going on when a kid doesn’t have the motivation to do their work.

I love this idea! As a school psychologist, this would support early intervention for both the student and the teacher—addressing the issue before the habit becomes too ingrained and more difficult to reverse.

I check on them to make sure they are okay, remind them that they have work to do, and check on them later in the class. Document and, when it becomes a habit, try to contact parents, but I often don’t get replies.
