[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]MCPS teacher here. With the new standards, hard work isn't enough to achieve academically. I have 6 Asian American students who are struggling. All are native English speakers with highly educated parents. They spend hours working on relatively simple assignments and still don't earn the A. Why? They haven't mastered the skill of applying what they've learned to a new situation/problem. When I speak with these students and their parents, they are studying through the old methods of drilling and memorization. [/quote]

Oh bull shit. 2.0 is an idiots approach to math.  I bet those kids would score higher than you on the SAT math and not have to take Remedial Math 101 for Education Majors in college. [/quote]

I wasn't an education major, but thanks for stereotyping. I had two Masters, neither in education, before coming to teaching. Nor do I teach math.

But none of this changes that fact that hard work doesn't always equal academic success. [/quote]
