Time constraints due to being spread too thin always

mherzenberg — 2024-11-04 20:20:30 UTC

We only have the students for so many hours a day and cannot control their life experiences/support system/ influences outside of school.

we set high expectations but are at the same time limited due to overwhelming the student or causing anxiety

ddunleavy4 — 2024-11-04 20:20:44 UTC

Students taking short cuts due to time and technology temptations. Mistrust of teachers being able to teach and lack of respect for teachers.

fsheikh9 — 2024-11-04 20:21:13 UTC

Too much accountability has been moved to the teachers away from students and parents.

Unrealistic expectations- each child should have their own individual realistic expectations

2024-11-04 20:21:15 UTC

An unwillingness to change. A greater demand of immediacy. Lack of resources. Lack of responsibility. Differences in professional philosophy. Lack of purpose and motivation.

addressing inappropriate behavior and being held accountable

mlchristianson — 2024-11-04 20:21:19 UTC

Challenges: Communication and a shared understanding of standards (of behavior, work, etc.). Issues arise when there is not a shared accountability in each of the roles.

What do they have in common? Anxiety, pressure, lack of self-awareness, lack of involvement, thinking they are exempt from accountability

Maintaining rigorous standards while not diminishing self-confidence and motivation.

2024-11-04 20:21:56 UTC

students making excuses for not doing work. Parents need to continue teaching children accountability for getting their school work done. Parents need to be involved and make no excuses for kids

Motivations to do better

2024-11-04 20:25:22 UTC
