[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it completely on the 150+ kids. I am a teacher.  I taught in FCPS for many years.

My frustration stems from math class more than anything. In this class, the teacher is doing a few practice problems with kids and then gives them class time to complete homework.  The teacher never moves around the room to see how kids are doing and students who are lost have no idea that they are actually lost until they take a test. Test grades only come back in SIS (weeks later) and students are not seeing any graded problems and have no idea where they are going wrong.

I'm a bit frustrated with English too.  My kid spent days writing an essay and got no feedback other than a score in SIS.  On the other hand, this teacher has made my kid enjoy English for the first time in a number of years - so he's doing something really well!

I feel for the teachers.  I know they are overworked, underpaid, and worn out.  But this total lack of feedback is frustrating when a kid is falling down and has no understanding of where they are going wrong.  [b]It puts a lot of onus on a KID if the only way to get any feedback is to make separate meetings with each teacher on a constant basis.  This seems like a lot to ask[/b]. [/quote]

If your HS aged kid can’t meet with their teacher and ask for help then they are in no way ready for the real world.

DP.  When we were kids, this was not the expectation for high school students.  And we (presumably, since we're posting here) made it in the real world.  [/quote]

When we were kids there also wasn't a forced 90 minute block every other day set aside specifically to meet with teachers.  This has been built into the schedule for this reason.[/quote]

Apparently no kids know this since [b]no kids are doing it[/b]...  [/quote]

My kid and many others regularly use this block to go get extra support from teachers.  A lot of teachers require any kid who is going to do a retake first come once to do a review and then come again to do the actual retake.  You can also go with any assignment and get feedback on it.  At my kid's  school at least this is very common practice--the question is not if you are going somewhere for this period but where.
