[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]MCPS teacher here. With the new standards, hard work isn't enough to achieve academically. [/quote]

WTH?? Hard work absolutely is enough to achieve academically. Its horrific to see a teacher posting this bias. Only a lazy instructor expects kids to fall wherever they land. Hard work, access to excellent teaching not sub par instructors, commitment, motivation, and dedication to learning yields success an a real academic environment much more than IQ. If you have high IQ and  hard working students who are struggling look in the mirror!!!! Heck if you have average IQ and very hard working students who are struggling look in the mirror! Its you not the standard or the kid![/quote]

I think that you have never been a teacher or a coach if you think that hard work is enough.  I am thrilled with my students who show perseverance and I will always make time to work with them on strengthening their skills. But I can't award an A if they don't show me that they have mastered what they are supposed to learn. It would be unfair to them to pretend that they are at the top.
