Teacher Do You Care? 傍he Pete Chronicles
May 6th 2011 05:49
When a staff member who is assigned to my room cannot show up it creates a big hole. I am often told sorry I cannot come to your class someone else needs me more. When there is not enough staff I can usually handle it. Is it optimal no?
I did not have enough staff to cover the students that needed more assistance yesterday. In addition the administration had given me mandatory extra work to do which included hours of testing students. This meant I could not spend time with Pete. It was heartbreaking!
Pete did not understand why he was moved to a office with more supervision. He said he would be good. This was the heartbreak. I told him he was good; he was great. I tried to explain that I had so much work that I could not spend time with him.
I protested and stated the students would suffer with no avail.
This is how the system looses the good ones. The system wants the paper work done and unfortunately it is at the expense of student learning. This system is broke.
