Teaching at a bad school
September 26, 2010
Seriously. I am.
We have two issues this year - not graduating enough students in a sufficient time period and a math subgroup. Last year it was a different subgroup.
We have district and none district consultants working with us.
Now we do a really great job with the majority of our students. We have national merit scholars and semi finalists.
We have students in most of the ivy league schools and have a high number of students passing AP exams.
I believe our issue is that we don't start where students are and don't expect enough out of them but I don't teach math. I did have that subgroup in my remedial math class last year and do have them in my classes this year.
I hope we fix it soon.
