Going inside the public school system whether its elementary, middle, or high school can be challenging sometimes. Seeing this firsthand daily, educators opening the door of their classroom bright and early in the morning with the same smile on their face throughout the week. While the buses are unloading children at the bus loop, the educators scatter to their assigned morning duty to greet each child passing by. Educators would stand at their doorway or duty location greeting each child with good morning but depending on each child mood differs on the response back.

 

Thirty percent of children come to school weekly who ate breakfast at home entering school prepared for the day, twenty five percent are hungry rushing to grab food from breakfast station, twenty percent seem upset from a previous situation that happened before school, fifteen percent don’t have book bags and seem unbothered, while five percent may have the same clothing on from the day before along with feeling no love. Because children enter the school each day this way makes it very hard for educators to remain smiling while trying to teach, discipline appropriately, and ensuring that all children understand the assignment. While eighty percent of parents are headed or rushing to work without realizing what happens at home play a significant role in their child learning develop.

​

As Educators huddle in their classroom with assigned students more incidents happen. Thirty percent of students submit completed homework assignments while seeming prepared for test or quizzes, forty percent have incomplete homework assignments with only knowing partial of information because they did not study, and the remainder did not study or do homework due to not being able to receive help from parents because they are working late or don’t understand the material.

​

As a parent, building relationships between the teacher, assisting children afterschool, and trying to handle adult responsibilities, especially during covid era, has become very challenging within the home. Most students have been spending more time within their home and community connecting them more to their environment, social media, and mimicking negative role models while their parents stress levels increased from working, keeping the family healthy  By the students adapting to what’s happening now has taken their mind away from their educational interest!
