County Homeroom changes sparks outrage among students and teachers


...Multiple WJ teachers have expressed their frustrations through emails stating that they are already overwhelmed with the amount of work they are already required to accomplish. Science teacher Brock Eastman shared that administering both homeroom and regular class will be a burden to all teachers.

“If the issue is the need to have us engage with the student more, then why don’t we just increase the block times to an hour and fifteen minutes? I’ve needed that kind of time very much over the last few weeks to mix up the sessions, but instead I have to run off to test or a homeroom instead. And at least it’s not me adopting a curriculum that I am not knowledgeable in or qualified to administer,” Eastman said.

Overall, student and teacher opinions have come out against the county’s decision but the county remains unflinching in its efforts to administer required weekly homerooms..
