[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted before about my child's struggles with a particular teacher's very rigorous AP Calc BC course. After straight As in math every year, and indeed in every course he's ever taken, including all his AP courses, he has a C in that course.

[b]In our situation it's quite clearly the teacher, [/b]but his school can't do anything about it since there are teacher shortages, they can't hire anyone else, and can't persuade the teacher to change - they've tried.

I'm sorry this is happening, OP. Since your child had Honors Geometry last year, do you suspect that Algebra I instruction was lacking two years ago, during the pandemic? It might not be entirely the current teacher's responsibility in your case.[/quote]

I'm curious about the school.  My kid is in BC at WCHS and claims that the other teacher has much higher grades.  I'm not sure which is the 'better' teacher, but the grades seem quite different.  Older sibling didn't have this teacher but said the same thing-- one teacher with much lower grades than the other.[/quote]

PP you replied to. No, this is at WJ, and there is only one BC teacher, who has been there for years. I'm sorry this is also happening to your kid. [/quote]

What are the teacher's pass rates?  Not giving students automatic As is not the sign of a bad teacher.[/quote]
