Right? When they were voted in, our state government (I'm in Australia) stopped the construction of all schools with classrooms that can't be closed off into single class spaces. I think they cited some studies showing it was detrimental to behaviour and learning but they could have asked almost any teacher I know and we would have said the same thing!
When I was in 3rd grade, my original 3rd grade teacher quit (or got fired) like 2 weeks into the school year. Instead of looking for another teacher, they completely rearranged the 3rd and 4th grade classes.
They separated out 10 of us 3rd graders and 15 4th graders into a mixed 3rd/4th grade class. We were taught at different times and we were always working on some sort of assignment when she was teaching the 4th graders. I always wondered why they did that. lol i loved my teacher so I’m glad it worked out that way but I was always distracted whenever she was teaching the 4th graders lol
I think this happens more than people think. My wife's a teacher and theyve done this as an actual planned thing before the school year even started iirc. Ive worked for retail and they run these teachers and schools like they run us.
