Educator Roll Call

[Dubinsky]

There are students that I've had for two years who I can't recognize anymore.

Also chins are weird.

So very, very weird.

How many years?

It's never gotten old, to me. If it ever does, I just make enough changes to keep it fresh.

I'm a HS Family & Consumer science teacher. For those that are my age, it's Home Ec. More career oriented with industry certifications. I primarily teach foods and culinary to 9-12 grades.

I loved my home ec teacher!

Any yearbook teachers?

No yearbook advisor that I know has ever lasted more than about five years on that job, lol.

Proceed with caution.

That’s exactly what we’ve had since January!

Kids have lost 2 years, so tragic.

What is unfortunate is I don’t feel there has been a huge loss I academic learning but instead a huge deficit in their social skills, ability to stay focused and follow rules. The pandemic has had an impact far reaching for the younger generation.

O yas, many need counselling, lost social skills, etc. But my WSJ has seen studies showing loss or delayed academic skills. My kid teaches inner-city English, says they are 90% illiterate.

All my students are so tentative. Nobody is fearless anymore.

Fearlessness can be a problem, classroom-management-wise, but the discussions are so good. This year, all my classes are oddly quiet. They've been conditioned by distance learning and constant masking, I think, and there's a fragility surrounding their engagement with each other.

It's too bad.
