Class sharing in K

Job share K
I dream of job sharing but have always felt I'd probably need to move to a different grade to do it well. Kinders really need consistency. Plus, I'd need to become less of a control freak :o

Clip charts
Sounds like you're doing some good things but clip charts, IMO, add an extra power struggle because not only does the kid get to refuse to sit down/be quiet/whatever, they can also argue with you...

Rude
My P is forthright but not rude. If he did need to say something like that to a teacher I wouldn't hear about it because it would be kept private.
I definitely can't imagine him telling a teacher...

My Classroom
My classroom is 100% normal and has been all along. We've had very little covid in my country so we never did the remote learning thing or masks. We just wash our hands a little more than we might...

Wow that's so awful. When I was a student I don't think it ever would have occurred to me to tell on a teacher at all, unless it was an abuse type thing.

Good luck school districts getting your devices back

Devices
I think it's a fair point that in some areas many devices probably won't make it back. Schools in my area that have done that decided to think of it as an investment, even though they know not...

I think once kids get to a certain age, parents really can't have that control. But that's why those battles need to be won long before the teen years. Toddlers and teens can be difficult. But from...
