Like I said, I feel like I have not given my students everything they need


There is no way I can provide them the learning they need in the 2.5 hours I have them for 4 days.
I am looking forward to an actual hour of math so I can actually do small groups and work with students on specific needs. I've got some that can't find the page I tell them to turn to....but I can't work that into my 30 minutes of math instruction when I'm trying to teach a whole class lesson on subtracting with borrowing.
Same for reading. We have a new reading program that is intended to take 2.5 hours each day. I get about 1. I was told I need to work with small groups and get 20 minutes of "small group instruction". We are also told we can do 2 groups in that 20 minutes (this does not include the fact that I am required to sanitize all areas and materials between groups).
All that to say, the quality of instruction students are getting is, at the very least, greatly deminished.
I can tell you personally, my 6th grader is struggling. From straight A's and loving school, to constantly struggling and checking her grades to get her to turn in assignments. Right now she has 3 assignments with F's that we spent the whole weekend with her re-doing. She's also started lying about getting her work done. This whole thing has turned her into a completely different kid. It breaks my heart.
