I’m not sure what this is now the nine weeks is up. Students were not made to stay in their learning model they selected. It was said there would be no changing until after the first nine weeks. That did not hold true. I understand it’s difficult times but consistency is the key!! Seriously, students have been changing from day 1. I’m not sure what this is now the nine weeks is up.

However, I did receive training opportunities from the district to help prepare for Remote. There continues to be training offered as well. They have been sending out emails about them. I am a member of a Remote Facebook group too and we share materials as well as our frustrations lol. I’d be happy to talk with your daughter and help her anyway I can. She can reach me at kharris2@ecsdfl.us @Laurie-I am also a remote teacher in Escambia County and am working very extensive hours like your daughter.

She is absolutely exhausted trying to keep up with entering data into her remote classroom and figuring out ways to adapt the traditional curriculum to remote learning, and trying to constantly evaluate the effectiveness of the methods she's using (Are the kids learning?) Not to mention having to stop and train a new student on how to participate (she usually uses up all her breaks during the day, including lunch, in order to accomplish that). The school district has offered NO training or materials geared to remote teaching, she has literally had to make it all up as she goes -- and it's pretty much impossible to plan more than 2-3 days ahead because it's so labor-intensive. How in the world does the school district expect teachers like her to keep re-adapting to students coming and going on a large scale like this? Of course as students move in and out of the area or on a case-by-case basis, it's necessary to adjust. But open it up to everyone to try a different method when there's no system in place to accommodate it? My daughter loves teaching, and loves the children (even from a distance), but she isn't superhuman. Our school district is going to drive teachers like her away just because of sheer burn-out.

Just think...your child's teacher has 15-20 angels...just...like...yours. Hopefully we will all be more appreciative of what teachers get accomplished...even with the obstacles that may occur. Teachers need a raise. Teaching is much harder than it appears! Just think…your child’s teacher has 15-20 angels…just…like…yours.
