[quote=Anonymous]Much is made of the fact that private schools can cast their nets far afield and hire teachers that wouldn’t normally be certified to teach in public schools. This is true but it comes at a cost. Many teachers in privates, particularly new hires, believe that grading and sorting are their real responsibilities not developing student potential. That’s because, many private school teachers may never even have attended a public school and have little understanding of or patience for students that don’t immediately grasp the concept or exhibit the required behavior. What occurs is that they employ curriculum (many times pulled from a website not self developed) as a class control mechanism providing for little classroom differentiation. In the end, they teach solely to the students who could most likely teach themselves. You have to be aware of this when dealing with issues related to grading and grades which many times are irrelevant. [/quote]
