that requires teachers to post all of their source material and any teaching material they will use online for parents to review. Something like a news article that is new, they have 7 days to get it posted.

While part of me feels like long-term this kind of stuff could be helpful for teachers, particularly as classes have been virtual and it creates a place they could put items for students that they normally would've passed out in class, it also is more work.

And for teachers - it creates the impression that they can't be trusted to teach the subject they spent at least 4 years in college preparing to teach, so they need the oversight of 100 parents who have had no such college training to make sure they do it right.

I've already shared that one of the classes my daughter is teaching is world governments. She had a parent email her at the beginning of the semester asking her to sign a document committing to never talk about socialism or communism, and to never talk about any of the potential negatives of capitalism.

On the first day of class, she wanted to have a conversation about people having different ideas and perspectives, and that they needed to be respectful of each other and each other's ideas - even when they disagree. So she asked them to help her make a list of issues that people disagree about. As you can imagine, it was a list of every horror story parents think teachers are brainwashing their students on. She used that just to show that there are a lot of those topics and went on to say more about respecting each other, and erased the list.

She had a kid in the next class take a photo of the board with the faint shadow of the erased list remaining and send it to his mother - with absolutely no context. Who then emailed her before that class was even out to tell her that she could tell "LGBTQ" had been written on the board and then erased, and she wanted to know why.

I would hate to be a teacher in the current environment. If some of the micromanaging continues, it won't surprise me if there are mass resignations.
