[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS Geometry teacher - there is a lot behind these numbers, though. My students who keep up with their homework and study seriously for their tests generally score in the 90s.  Those that don't are generally in the 80s, sometimes lower (this past unit had more 70s than normal and a few that were lower). Also, the units do get progressively harder as they build and require accessing prior theorems/definitions and more complicated proofs.

I don't feel like any of my students were improperly accelerated, none are totally over their heads. [/quote]

Some of the kids DD knows are definitely in over their heads. The ones with parents that can afford it got them tutors, because results in the 60s or lower is not going to cut it. She said that on the last assessment, the class average for one of her friends' classes was 69 and change. I don't know if that's a reflection of the teacher (I used to teach in college, and low class averages were an indication to me that I had not done my job), or the kids.[/quote]
