Homeschooling Help

What?! I'd be kicking her teeth down her throat straight off the bat.

[Glint]

That’s outrageous, kleio!

[Cerise]

Is the teacher approving that for posting?

[Loralei]

She really fancies herself as an influencer, doesn't she? What a twat

[smalex]

JESUS CHRIST! What a precocious twat. I am judging the parents so heavily. I'd die if W posted something like that.

[Kleio]

Is the teacher approving that for posting?

Yep!

I’m wondering if this is why Betty is struggling at the moment. This girl is a huge bully, the sort who always knows better and puts the other girls down frequently but then goes I was only helping. There just seems to be so much thrown into the group it does seem overwhelming. I wish you could hide stuff.

I would very much be sending that to the school and asking if they really find that appropriate content!

[emma_p]

Definitely agree with Smal. It’s not appropriate.

I would very much be sending that to the school and asking if they really find that appropriate content!

All posts are pending until accepted by the teacher so she’s approved it.

Her sibling is exactly the same and in the same class as Elf so I’ve got another 4 years of this shit.

[Texaco Shirley]

I can imagine Cerise! We had similar hello threads at the beginning of lockdown but the more experienced teachers caught on fairly quickly!

This is the sort of shit Betty gets daily along with 3-5 minute videos, emails, quizzes, dares and a few times she’s set schoolwork! A 10 year old!

The teacher should suggest she checks her punctuation before posting, never mind the godawful content.

[smalex]

I mean, send it to her teacher with a 'er, really, you approved this?' type message and send it to the school leadership.

I assume the teacher thinks is all harmless and easily ignorable but it would really piss me off.

T’s google classroom wall is filled with endless emoji chats or videos of dances/ gymnastics/ singing from the more earnest of T’s classmates. :woteva:

M is on with his class waiting for his teacher and I am listening to Twatdad pontificating about how awesomely awesome everything is to the class.

[Ruby]

What?! I'd be kicking her teeth down her throat straight off the bat.

Absolutely. What a little cunt.

[Topcat]

You're right though.

[Little My]

Jesus suffering. I would bring it up with the teacher.

[ParisGal]

Even if (with emphasis on IF) it was appropriate to have kids setting school-approved challenges and "dares" (?!), the pushy language is completely inappropriate. It reads like those probably-fake threads from bridezillas and so on.

[Kleio]

Ruby may have witnessed a clip of a video.

I’ve sent a short email, testing the waters, to ask how appropriate it is.

[Heebie Jeebie]

What were they doing, Cerise?

I posted something that they could comment on to say hi to everyone (but only after I approved their messages) but it soon descended into LOL, I’m bored, Who’s bored, LOL, 🌶 and I got a notification for every single message.

God, this sounds hellish. Joe is dyslexic, so struggles with reading (duh) but decided he wants to be a coder. I decided to sack off the school reading challenges, and signed him up for a kids Python class online. This counts as educational as far as I'm concerned. He's reading the instructions and not realising he's doing it. He's doing online school stuff too, on Sumdog and Glow.

We had a welfare call from Jack's school last week, with bonus snidey comment about knowing he wasn't missing school. I replied with an equally snarky "Yeah, it's great that he's not suicidal with anxiety anymore". Dicks.

[sally maclennane]

Good for you, Smun, calling them out on that!

If Joe is interested in coding, there is stuff on Code Clan I think,and also Digital World website.
