General Education

Why are charter school classes so huge?
Found out my class is at 27 students for lower elementary. Not complaining, I've done 30, and some may be online. But I'm back at a charter and, like every charter in the area, they boast small class sizes. It's part of the advertising. I'm not saying the number is huge, but it seems a […]
Video platform
Outside of YouTube, which will be what I use unless I find an alternative, are there any good free websites where I can post videos and share to Google Classroom? My videos in the spring were just me talking, recorded with my cellphone. If there’s an easy way to jazz them up, I’d like to […]

I'm wondering if teachers and students around the country have 100% remote teaching and learning options through their school districts for the upcoming year. Please understand, I'm not looking to get into a debate about whether or not we should be back in-person. I've already seen way too many arguments on social media and I […]

What if the P can’t find another math teacher to take his spot? Is there a chance I might “inherit” the classes […]

Several uniform schools in the […]
What social distancing isn't during a pandemic
Anyone see the pictures from this district in GA going around? https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/pa...-school-spotlight/YTZC6OZMGNAR7LLHCIKT5PYXCQ/\ I live in GA but I don't work in that district. Not surprised by the pictures, there was another close by district to this one that had to shut down a 2nd grade class on the second day of school. They just quarantined […]
