I am teaching two electives this school year. I am not happy about it, because hey, I'm a librarian. However, I have made the situation be as good as it can be. Lots of us are doing things we don't want to do during Coronatimes.
It has been many years since I was a classroom teacher. MANY. I am not used to the grading, grading, grading grind.
This is the timeline of recent interactions with a student.
Wednesday 9/16--discussion post assigned
Friday 9/18--discussion post due
Wednesday 9/16 to October 6--silence. crickets. nothing.
Today, halleluiah! Student completes assignment:
Five hours later, 7:30 PM the student emails me to let me know he has finished the assignment AND
WHERE IS HIS GRADE?!?!?!
OMG REALLY?!?!?! I am so not used to this.
My response to him, 14 minutes after his email to me:
Omgosh, I want to have a very candid discussion with this child about his expectations. The petty side of me wants him to know that it will be done during school hours WHEN I HAVE TIME.
