[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I would not have a problem with this in theory and agree that an effective teacher really makes a difference. However the teacher above is 💯 correct that there are instances in which the extenuating circumstances prevent adequate growth for a particular student. In my class this year, 4 of my 20 students have extenuating circumstances like those described above. That’s 20% of my class and my school is not Title 1. In a title 1 school you might have 80%. You can be an excellent teacher but if your student is suddenly being abused by moms new boyfriend or has just been placed in foster care or doesn’t have any food in the fridge this year because dad is suddenly drinking up all the money, it is unfair to that teacher (not to mention the unfairness of the students’ circumstances).[/quote]
