No child left behind had done irreparable damage to society I work with middle schoolers and today I had to yell at them because it was the second day in a row they weren’t doing work that I knew they know because they thought “it was boring”
i work with high schoolers who don’t know the difference between addition/subtraction/multiplication/division, and can’t identify which symbol goes with which operation. i feel you.

Btw they aren’t even calling a fail failing, it’s “not there yet” which yea had its perks but that’s not gonna do much for a students motivation

And I thought the middle schoolers being unable to read well was insane, that’s truly crazy they can’t recognize the symbols

the reading/spelling is no better either. it’s god awful. i have kids that can’t spell “said” “coal” “bear” “gummy” “lied” “does” etc, don’t know the difference between two/to/too, wear/where, there/their/they’re, etc…it’s awful

I’m student teaching now and it truly does feel like babysitting because their behaviors are also atrocious

I’ve struggled with and failed every maths class I’ve ever taken since the 5th grade, and even I know all of the basics for it. 🫠
