how many kids are there in her class? how much time does she have for each kid. Is this “need for attention” an exception or does our “be me” has a list of creative endeavors this teacher had to deal with already?
Are teachers well paid in this society?
The last point is what’s important, plus understaffing. When we did an educational project for kids on a non-commercial basis we had about one adult per four kids, so everyone got the attention needed. The official requirement is one adult per ten or fifteen if I remember correctly, which is outrageously not enough
Besides, I get it, the extremes look very simple, if the class has 40 kids and everyone demands lots of attention that’s gonna be 40 lots of attention. But in reality if the students are sampled randomly into the class, their need for attention will be different, and only a few are going to demand lots really. And that’s under the assumption that anon here was attention seeking, not just a person that didn’t like meaningless rules imposed out of nowhere
