@CarlaMeyrink The smirk also from the student as well bc they know what they are doing. I refuse to play the game and give the facts. Take it or leave it, I always try to help but I have to realize many don't want the help and blame others. That's the MO. #sunchat
English
@MrsPazLTMS It's very defensive. And they don't realize the damage they're doing to their child with this attitude.
#sunchat
English
It's so agitating... With my own son I would NEVER think to make an excuse or use that as my "go to" response. I will always do my own observations and draw conclusions, but I would never immediately go to "well that doesn't happen at home".
#sunchat

@MrsPazLTMS Happens all the time... and then, even worse, sometimes I hear that the parent has complained to others about the exact same behaviour. #sunchat
English
@susankotch It is worse when I see them every other day and try to say "well I didn't know we had a test"... It's been posted for two weeks, with a study guide and review games .... #sunchat
English
Another frustration: when kids say they didn't know about an assignment because they were out. Okay, we have multiple steps in place to combat this - email notification, posted online in google classroom, posted on board in class. What else can I possibly do? #sunchat
English
@dawblack @susankotch @alextvalencic @CarlaMeyrink @alicekeeler @bluesky There isn't many of us left here... I'm all about being with my network and if they are shifting I always like to give things a try. Please try it out with us! #sunchat
English
@susankotch @alextvalencic @CarlaMeyrink @alicekeeler @bluesky @MrsPazLTMS I prefer staying here, but it seems I am in the minority from what I can tell.
English
I'm with you, Alex! I'd be interested in some edu-chats over there. Got any suggestions? @alextvalencic @CarlaMeyrink also suggested moving #sunchat there.

@R_CILR @susankotch I'm making the transition; building up my #PLN but not yet deleting this one. (Nearly 4,000 professional contacts made and fostered over 15 years is a lot to give up!) #sunchat
English
This one drives me crazy... I have not had one parent this year try to say that to me but the year is young.... I'm not talking about what they are doing at home. I'm talking about what they are doing in school. They are two completely different places. #sunchat
Susan Kotch@susankotch
Parents are sometimes frustrating. I don't mind explaining things, or answering questions. But when I'm told "they don't do that at home", I get so frustrated. "OK, maybe not, but it's happening here. This is the heads-up call." #sunchat
English
@susankotch @alextvalencic Many times I tell them that in science that I'm not their ELA teacher so I'm not going to take off on larger spelling of words as long as I can phonemically sounded out and they tried.. What I will take off on is those high frequency words like "because" and "does".
#sunchat
English
@alextvalencic Every time a student asks me how to spell something, I tell them to try it first. Take it in chunks...plus, they have a supercomputer in front of them! They can look it up and find the spelling! But they won't! I don't get it! #sunchat @alextvalencic
English
Student: Can you tell me how to spell this?
Me: Yes, I can, but I'm not going to. Give it your best go!
I think there is a lot of internal and external pressure to get it "right" the first time and if they can't, they will do everything they can to avoid it. #sunchat
English
@alextvalencic It's almost like they are afraid to fail... Or they just want to get it right the first time so they don't have to work at building those skills of problem solving for more complex problems. They just want to be "done" and move to the next thing.

@alextvalencic I'm making mine now as we speak!! Trying to bring everything over. I just found you @alextvalencic #sunchat

@alextvalencic My stepdaughter is the same way as well... I dislike the amount of "well that's the best I can do, what are YOU going to do for me?" attitude... Urg... #sunchat
English
@MrsPazLTMS I'm seeing this from early elementary through high school. There is a lot of "well, I tried once" and then giving up. #sunchat
English
I'm having that problem with my 8th grade currently and their stamina to actually complete work to their honors capabilities.. I feel like I have to drag many to the finish line and am met with rolling eyes. #sunchat
Susan Kotch@susankotch
Who's frustrated about lack of stamina in kids in the classroom? So difficult to get them motivated and willing to stick with something when it gets a bit challenging! #sunchat
English
@susankotch @alextvalencic @CarlaMeyrink @alicekeeler @bluesky I 💯 agree! We can chat on Monday @susankotch! Really want to get our crew back and chatting! #sunchat
English
@alextvalencic @CarlaMeyrink @alicekeeler Is everyone up for trying next week's #sunchat over on @bluesky? I'll have to do some practice over there prior, but we can move it for next week's chat to see how we do. Alex, can you see if it can be added to the list? What do you think, @MrsPazLTMS ?
English
@CarlaMeyrink @susankotch @alextvalencic Omgosh this looks like the old Twitter we know and love!! Just signed up @CarlaMeyrink ! #sunchat

@alextvalencic @susankotch @CarlaMeyrink @alicekeeler I have missed this chat for a while. Would be great to get back into the swing of things! #sunchat
English
@susankotch @CarlaMeyrink I know that #BFC530 is coming back over there as a slow chat that folks can drop in on at any time of the day. We could definitely get this one added to the list! (@alicekeeler is maintaining an awesome spreadsheet with users and chats.) #sunchat
