Today another teacher told me that one of my kids was complaining about my class. He said that I was a hardass and forced him to learn even when he didn't want to.
Guess that's the goal, lol.
Me in class today: Okay, those people who redid their study guides and reviewed their tests with me can retake. Please come see me for it.
Many kids: What retake?!
Me: The one I sent a broadcast message about, put on Canvas, put on the physical calendar, put on the warmup as a reminder for two weeks straight, and announced in class every period.
Kids: You didn't tell us about it!
Me: You are literally about to graduate in three weeks. Start paying attention to what people say.
20 minutes later.
Email from one of those kids: Why am I failing if I do all of my work?
Reply: Because you need to do well on that work. Also you failed X and Y tests and did not choose to retake.
Kid: What retake?
Reply: The retake that you literally could be doing right now, for one.
Kid: I didn't know about a retake.
Reply: Here are screenshots of all of the ways you were notified. Also pick your eyes up from your screen and look at the board.
Kid: Can I do a retake next class since I didn't know about it?!
WTAF. No. Time's up and you STILL aren't listening.
