[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach first grade and have taught K and second.  There is a huge difference just between K and second grade so there must be an even bigger difference between them and HS.  My K students had daily bathroom accidents, needed help with everything from zipping coats to buttoning pants.  Many of them cried for their moms for the first month or two of school.  Most cannot read.  Does this describe a HS student?  I certainly hope not.[/quote]

Yesterday, I turned in two for a drug deal.  One is a 20 yo senior who was kicked out of his PG high school.  He has gang markings.  not my first, will not be my last

I worked 1-1 (during my planning) to help a student complete a project for graduation.  He's been in this country for 2 years and entered illiterate in his own language.

I have one student in my regular class with an 80 IQ.  I'm sure I have more.

I know for a fact that, after scrutinizing scores, many of my 9th graders are on a 6th grade reading level.  Unfortunately, our support classes are filled to capacity b/c we don't have enough site licenses for the program.

I just found out one student was pregnant.  again -  obviously is NOT my first, nor will she be my last

BTW - I share ONE composition assistant with three other teachers.  And although my pay stinks, I'm glad I'm only PT b/c I have 90 students instead of 150
