Student Teaching Cut Short - Tumblr Posts

Sixth Classroom...

Three weeks just sitting in a library watching ELLs take the ACCESS test…

Oh great, Corona.

I’m banned from the school and go home.

Now, the school shuts down and the children seldom show.

I sit in my bedroom talking to the walls on Zoom.

YouTube stories…picture books and animations on environmental and wildlife conservation…

Stories lead to class discussions and simple assignments.

The edTPA is not going to happen.

Thankfully I don’t need it for institutional backing once I finally graduate.

Virtual classrooms where students are constantly interrupted by poor internet or having to watch younger siblings.

These kids are learning nothing yet being passed onto the next grade.

It’s such a disservice…
