[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My student took this math teacher (he is in college now) and the teacher makes this class the hardest out of all 4 years of Blair STEM magnet program. The teacher assumed everyone will sit for the Calculus BC AP test, must get a score of 5, and will be a math genius with his instruction of Pre-Calculus C and functions.

Sometimes the class average was low B or high C on the big test and he said to the class you can do better in the next test. Based on his stubbornness, some students lost their math interest. Anything you do is never competent for the class.  I completely agree with the OP.  [/quote]

So the teacher had high expectations. There are other threads on this board that complain about a lack of those and grade inflation. It just seems like this is another example of people being upset with whatever they do. If they lower expectations and give out more A's, people also complain.[/quote]

My DC took the Functions/Analysis track. There are some magnet teachers who delay grading for a long time. It seems hypocritical for a teacher to not give feedback for months and then grade a child down for turning in an assignment late, but they grade the student down for turning in assignments late. Either the teachers are terrible procrastinators or want to keep the kids in the dark about their grade until the end so they don’t slack. I don’t support slacking but these kids are under so much pressure with AP that it’s helpful if they can choose how to best use their time. That’s a real-life skill they will need.[/quote]

Ok, so Schwartz is sometimes late grading,  but he spends his time working on problem sets, teaching and tutoring. Sure, I wish he provided grades in a more timely fashion,  but he will offer feedback any time and is always available for help. However,  if this is about Rose, please see above. That guy is an insecure, sexist layabout who foists his deficiencies on his students.[/quote]
