This is teaching!
Research shows none of us can multitask. What multitaskers are good at doing is task switching, which burns through some of your cognitive capacity and drains some of your energy.

One thing that concerns me about math education at the primary school level is the idea that every math concept, no matter how trivial, needs to be explored for days on end using countless models and manipulatives in order to provide students with a "deep understanding" of these ideas.
I'm all for kids at all levels developing a rich understanding of math, both conceptual and procedural.
However, if you apply the "let's explore this trivial idea to the nth degree" to every single math concept, what happens is that the really important stuff (automaticity with math facts, fluency with procedures) gets pushed to the back burner, resulting in kids that are have not achieved automaticity with their math facts or procedures, and are therefore unprepared to tackle algebra.

The real teacher shortage?
It’s not bodies—it’s the willingness to stay in a profession where expectations keep rising and support keeps dropping.

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.
You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.
You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.
And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.
Say no to vouchers.

It’s sheer insanity to expect teachers to implement both differentiated learning and standardized testing. We must choose one or the other; you can’t effectively support diverse learners while enforcing a one-size-fits-all assessment system.

Remember the teacher working environment is the student learning environment.
