Standards for Our Times

Seventh grade science. Friday. 

I was warned about her fifth period, and they lived up to expectations. Roamers. Students who didn't do any work. A constant stream of students needing to use the restroom. Playing video games. (I allowed the games after they completed the work. But too many didn't even bother attempting the assignment.) 

These are the kinds of classes I didn't miss. 

While trying to keep the noise level down to a dull roar, I noticed a page of standards with the teacher's stuff. (Standards are what they call it when they have a student write a line over and over again a la Bart Simpson at the beginning of The Simpsons.

Line reads: "I will wear my mask properly in class." 

Did I notice this kiddo having a mask problem? Yup. I reminded him at least five times to pull up his mask. Sigh. 

Some days I have more issues with this than others.
