I have a quote on my wall from my mentor, “The answer you seek is in the unopened book in front of you.”

"I have a question"
"yes..?"
"I don't have my chromebook"
"That's not a question."

I still think about the kid who asked, "what do I put here where it says first name and the last name?"
I had to take a breather

every day since school started I have had one of my kinders point at something they dropped like I'm gonna get it for them... pick it up yourself! I know you can! you're way closer to the ground then I am, you three foot tall gremlin!

It’s not just the kids though!!!! Had a guy at the store I work at where we spent ~10 minutes “sir remove your card and hit pay now” because he had hit rewards on the keypad. He kept trying to put his pin in “it’s not working” yes REMOVE your card and hit pay now😮💨afterwards a coworker said I should’ve did it for him and I “how will he learn if I do it for him” if you don’t correct it when they’re young they grow up into “it says remove my card, what do I do?” Kind of adults

We were doing a text feature scavenger hunt in their science books. I had so many students ask me what page the certain text features were on. LIKE NO, I’M NOT GONNA TELL YOU! THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE ASSIGNMENT IS THAT YOU FIND THE TEXT FEATURES! I NEED YOU TO IDENTIFY THEM!

I don’t understand where MY kids learned it from. My 3 year old is like “mama I dropped my car! Get it!” And I just look at him bewildered like “uhh you have legs hun??”

This is the biggest issue I have in teaching. Kids have never had to do something themselves.

I told mine, I have all your needs in the front. If you come in here and act like you have nothing and don’t speak up at all, you earn a zero. I’m not holding your hand when you’ve been in school your entire life 🤷🏽♀️. May have had one students try me and recieved a zero. I haven’t had any issues since :)

I get so frustrated because my own kids have this and I literally do not understand where they learned it because I have made them do things themselves and figure things out on their own their whole lives and now it feels like suddenly they’re incapable of things they’ve done for years. WTH?

It’s not learned helplessness it’s laziness… these students know what to do and how to do it, all of a sudden they know the answer if I tell them “if you were me what would you do…”

Today, they me it was too hard to fill in 7 words on a template. We discussed every part of the assignment, the directions were on the paper and the board, and they had the aforementioned template. They’re in middle school.
