[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the Wilson parent who stepped up to provide AP Physics instruction in the interim!!!!  Clear example of a parent going above and beyond.  [/quote]

This is great but does the long term sub actually know physics? AP Physics requires knowledge of college level physics and calculus.
My suggestion would be to have the kids watch Khan academy and do their practice assessments. Khan Academy offers an AP level physics curriculum. It is not amazing and no substitute for a teacher but it is pretty good. Wilson could also split up the kids into the AP Physics 1 classes. Their is a lot of overlap in AP1 mechanics and AP C mechanics especially for the first several weeks[/quote]

The Wilson mom sub does not know how to teach physics- no. Apparently she worked in a physics related job. She lectures for approximately 30 minutes and then tells kids to read the chapter and do worksheets. The class went from chapter 1 and then skipped to chapter 18. None of this “instruction” is translating.   We need a physics teacher… could care less where their children go to school. [/quote]
