I hate it. The over reliance on “Canvas” Which on the surface seems like such of a convenience. But every time I watch my kid turn in his math homework by holding his 2-sided worksheet up to the webcam I just cringe. He’ll never get any reasonable feedback on his work because it’s impossible to read.
Some assignments have “spot check” questions where you input the answer on Canvas. Instructions like “make sure you spell it right”, “use ‘i’ for infinity”, and “do not put spaces after the commas” should’ve made the teacher realize it was a bad idea. But alas.
And the teachers are SO GOOD otherwise. It makes me wonder how much of this is being forced ON THEM.
- giantg2 3y agoAbsolutely a lot of it is forced at the district or school level. I had a friend who decided they didn't want to teach because of the policies they encountered student teaching (and partly the apathy and behavior of students). I have another friend who will only teach at private schools, even if they pay less for similar reasons.
