When kids who have never been allowed to struggle with anything ever enter my classroom and hate me for challenging them.
are you offering them support? Or are you just being an Authoritarian and complaining because kids can’t do shit that you don’t teach them how to do?
I’ll let you decide which you think I do.
I fucking love when people have some vendetta against educators due to a slight – either real or perceived – that they experienced while in school, so they just assume all educators do That Thing™ because they are Evil™ and accuse them of The Thing™ at every opportunity bc it somehow makes them feel better to attack somebody that shares a profession with somebody they didn’t like
I still remember when somebody sent me 5 full back to back anon messages raging against me for something they assumed i did and it was just like ????? Did you see in my bio that I’m a teacher and it triggered war flashbacks or something????
Kids need to struggle. But let’s remember to teach them how to learn
Thanks?
Kids need to struggle, but they don’t need to struggle without help. There’s a difference between challenging them and just flat-out not giving a shit whether or not they learn difficult material.
WE KNOW.
