[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just the silent lunch in a dark windowless lunch room. It is the high stakes testing, cramped building, ever smaller number of peers and the sometimes poor teaching. There are some excellent teachers. [b]What sucks is when there are poor teachers who get fired or leave mid year [/b]the kids who are harmed by this do not get adequate support to catch up, and the high stakes tests don’t change. So it is a cumulative bummer.[/quote] Disagree. Huge advantage of all charters vs DCPS is ability to dump bad teachers mid-year. At DCPS they'd be dead weight for years and years. [/quote] I am not saying that the teachers should not have been fired. Or that the curriculum shouldn’t keep the same pace. Just keeping the same pace of curriculum WITHOUT adequate teaching or extra support from other parts of the school when there is a terrible teacher who gets fired punishes the kids. [/quote]
