I’m a 67 yo retired paramedic. Homeschooled my twin grandsons during COVID. They are back in school and I found myself quite bored. I took a position as a substitute para educator. Boy, do they drop you in without a parachute and while I muddle through, I would like to talk about an experience I had. A group of 2 - 3rd graders, all with their iPads open, working on iReady (self paced math). With no instructions to follow, I grab a chair and start selecting students that are ‘doing nothing’ or are otherwise disturbing the group. I sat next to several select students, either helping or encouraging their work. Overall, I felt I was helpful and got the ‘feeling’ that the main teacher was happy with what I was doing. Now my point: in retrospect EVERY student I selected was a boy as none of the girls drew my attention. Upon reflection, I see this as a problem where the girls were getting the short end of the stick. I would love to hear any opinions, thoughts or advise this group has about my observations. Is this common?
