I've always been gobsmacked that data collection is so poor in SA. The DOE can't track individuals competently so doesn't actually know what the drop-out rate is, or even where kids are... 🧵

The balance & relationship between provincial and national depts is a constant battleground, & mostly political. Consequently, to teachers on the ground it feels like the left & right hands don't know what the other is doing.... 3/4

Then, when data is collected, teachers & CAs are repeatedly asked for the same info by different people as (it seems) officials don't know how to pull the info from the databases themselves. So yes, provision of a data administrator is needed, but that's only the starting point!

Had a "talk" with my class today, in which I told them exactly what I thought about their rudeness, selfishness, lack of respect for me, lack of work ethic, etc. Then I emailed their grade heads & parents. Only 2 of them stayed back after the lesson to apologize. *TWO*. Ja nee.

This is how broken I am, how broken teachers are in general: with one week left with my matrics before Trials, syllabus not yet complete, I'm home sick with a raging fever and flu (definitely not COVID - just good'ol flu).🤒🤧😷 I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about them.
