[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that a lot of teachers were considering quitting mid-year. Everything they are being asked to do is just too much for them. Ten years ago quitting mid-year would have been incredibly bad form but now some teachers who stay actually applaud those who quit mid-year because it's so bad. [/quote]

This. Anyone could see this was going to be bad idea when they drafted it last spring. But as usual, Syphax didn't listen. Now they have to change it mid-year because it's a ridiculous amount of work for teachers. The kids who want to retake are kids trying to raise from a B to an A. [b]Teachers don't have time to help the kids who are below a B. [/b][/quote]

These are the kids that teachers have to focus on in the first place that slows down the class and prevents proper learning for the other kids to prepare for tests. Changing the re-take criteria to focus on the 80 and under crowd exclusively only exacerbates this divide in the intensified/AP classes instead of placing kids at their appropriate level.[/quote]
