Actually zoom school is handing bad teachers who used to have complete control over their classrooms control over students in their homes. No ones really said what they can and cant do/say to the students, the bad teachers are comfortable with being a commanding voice, and are ready to abuse that. There are teachers that are good and do try to make this experience as gentle but educational as possible. And there are teachers that will be “bulldozers” to your child, as they are in the classroom. Ive seen people talk about worse things going on both in and out of the classroom. Parents need to document these interactions and be ready to report them to the principal. Documentation is everything. HOW TO DOCUMENT: in a notebook/calendar, write down what the teacher says, what the student does, the date, and the time. Look up your local laws for recording with a camera verses a voice recorder, and depending upon what the law says you can use a recording. When the teacher has conferences, document what was said to you, what main points they hit, what you said, and what she said/did in response. When you talk to the teacher or principal, DOCUMENT THAT TOO. If they do nothing, youll want evidence of that for the future if you wish to climb the chain of command in finding justice for your kid.
The one good thing about remote school like this, is that a LOT of bad teachers are exposing their shittiness to kids' parents. Too many people become teachers in order to be petty dictators over a bunch of children, and as an educator, that fact makes me FURIOUS. My job is to instruct and guide, not to lord it over a bunch of people who have less power than I do. That is literally bullying.
