What advice do you have for your teachers as they prepare for the next group of students?

I suggest that they listen really well to their next students.

Explanation:

Because of quarantine, some students did all, good, bad, none, some, or didnt finish their work. Because of this, they will need to heavily modify curriculum all over the world this upcoming school year. If they stick with one set curriculum, it wont work since not everyone really got the same education or understood as good as others. This upcoming year or 2, the learning will have to be either done in groups or individualized somewhat.

I would also say (especially for high school teachers), DO NOT CRITICIZE THE STUDENTS. If they have done something wrong, remember they are still teens. Even if you dont think this is a valid argument, remember that we have been quarantined for at least 1 1/2 years depending on where you live. They haven't had the same social interaction and might do some weird things "returning to society".

Also, if any student feels like talking to you, be very open about topics and dont shut down if something uncomfortable comes up. They wanted to talk to YOU about whatever it is so they trust that they will listen and you can help. And ALWAYS get their permission before sharing any of the information they have told you. If you share a conversation they didn't want to be shared, you may worsen their problem or they may become embarrassed.

well so many people believe its a sin to be gay or be apart of the lgbtq+ community, but i believe you should be you. don't let people tell you you cant be someone. be who you are because you will be uncomfortable your whole life. be you!
