the kindergarten teacher is a MARTINET
she uploads like A DOZEN activities a day and all require responses. Many of them involve downloading a template and an adult has to spend 10, 20, 45 minutes cutting out cards or laying out a grid template or setting up an elaborate game for the child to then spend five to ten minutes playing and then the interface to upload the instructions isn’t working so you have to spend half an hour figuring out how to get the results put up into the online interface and she’s uploaded another goddamn fucking activity in the meantime and you’re spending two, three, four, six hours a day trying to satisfy her demands
and this is HALF-DAY KINDERGARTEN
meanwhile the boy’s first grade teacher has uploaded six activities but five of them require no response and are things like practice writing your numbers and the list of sight words we sent home last month
and the one that needs a response is “go outside and see how many birds you can count in your yard and what other noises you hear” and then he’s uploaded a video of himself reading a book and doing all the voices.
and the kindergarten teacher has meanwhile uploaded ANOTHER activity and this time she wants you to lay out a 100x100 grid for the child to cast a single die upon and then you have to use the online interface to have the child hand-scribe the results of the cast using only moonlight or some shit
it’s just
it’s
it’s a lot
it’s all been a lot
for a while
lately
and it doesn’t matter that it’s almost a weekend but christ please Miss Higgins please stop uploading shit to the online interface please it is HALF DAY KINDERGARTEN and this is a PANDEMIC and this is NOT THE ONLY CHILD IN THIS HOUSEHOLD
90% of what I’ve been up to in this household is entertaining Boy so there’s time to get some of Girl’s online homework caught up.

This is horseshit! I don't even know who to complain to and be heard? Is this the state of New York or the local or regional school boards who are encouraging this garbage and, trust me, teachers are not that eager without pressure from somewhere.
