[quote=Anonymous]I suspect my job working in a Title 1 school is harder than in a non-Title 1 school. We are constantly under pressure to bring up the test scores. They don't care about progress either. I teach ESOL and if I have a non-English speaker in September who ends up reading on a level G at the end of the year, that is terrific progress. But I will get blamed for that student not reading at grade level no matter where they started. If the benchmark for that grade is a J, then I've failed. This is why it is hard. Multiply this times 40 students and you get the idea. I am supposed to be supportive and encouraging as a teacher but apparently the admin doesn't have to be. They just stand around judging.[/quote]
