I do not know what
assignments your child hasn’t turned in, I have 189 students I see every day.
Please read your child’s
math book, there are very detailed examples. I also post the notes from class
onto Canvas.
Please read your emails!
I also have a life and do
not check my email after 5:00 or on weekends.
I really really really
want your child to succeed. I need your help!
Please check your students
homework daily.
Please take the time to
read the word problems, most of them are common sense and you can reason
through them with your student.
I know that the math is
different than when you went through school, we’re all learning the higher
order thinking math together.
I don’t only work on
school days from 7:30-3:10 (My hours add up to way more than 180 school days). I
grade papers, make lesson plans, write papers on the data I collect to submit to the board, and think
of ways to differentiate lessons for the students that need it every weekend. I
stay late to help students who don’t understand, I use my prep period to help
failing students, not just my own but all failing students with math.
I also wish the curriculum
went slower and students could have more time to digest it, but I do not control
what your student needs to know by the end of the year, contact the legislature
to change the policy.
Teachers are trying their
best to help your child be successful, we need your help!
