My daughter just walked in and said 4/8 of her teachers assigned work packets and homework over Spring ~BREAK~, including 44 assignments in Khan Academy from her math teacher. And we wonder why kids are having mental health issues. I have so many things I want to say but none

I think sometimes we forget (or never knew) the overlapping traits between Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness. Some of our students even have two of these exceptionalities and are referred to as Twice Exceptional (or 2E). Both of my sons are 2E. Please take a minute to read about it

My post about my daughter’s math assignments blew up this week and I think her math teacher is a good teacher, but here’s my point:
1: 44 assignments is excessive
2: students are entitled to spring break too
3: stop assigning busy work 4: make sure what you are assigning meets

As a teacher, I understand the pressure of standardized testing. But as her grade proves, she understands the material. This is busy work, not differentiated assignments that will target her needs.

Me: There’s bacon today.

How do we get from “I love all the technology you’re teaching me, but I don’t have time to implement this” to “ I love all the technology are teaching me and I can’t wait to implement this!”
