[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DCPS teachers don't have a student assistant who can read all of those 5-page assignments[/b]. So to think that a DCPS teach is going to assign a 5-page assignment to her 250 student class load is ridiculous. Considering her colleague who's not teaching AP is getting the same pay and accolades by assigning one page book reports. You know this to be true. This is why gym teachers don't coach sports. This is why instrumental music teachers don't form marching bands. Think about it. [/quote] Actually the class at Deal I am referring to did have a TA from a teachers' college (we've had several classes at Deal with TAs) and teachers regularly assign solid and thoughtful writing assignments. Students also have to discuss and defend their points of view on current events. I believe that Deal is laying a solid foundation, however I'm a troubled that this could be undermined by whatever is going on at Wilson. [/quote]
