[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS teachers don't have a student assistant who can read all of those 5-page assignments.  So to think that a DCPS teach is going to assign a 5-page assignment to her 250 student class load is ridiculous. Considering her colleague who's not teaching AP is getting the same pay and accolades by assigning one page book reports.  You know this to be true.

This is why gym teachers don't coach sports.  This is why instrumental music teachers don't form marching bands. Think about it.

I grew up in a county in Maryland with a good school system.  And NONE of my teachers ever had assistants, and yet I was frequently assigned long writing assignments.  In fact, 5 pages wouldn't have been considered much at all.  And the teachers did read them, every page, and left comments.  And I'm talking about honors classes, not AP classes.

I don't understand how he could've taken that many AP classes and not have written a 5 page paper.  Even if he didn't take AP English, other AP classes require writing assignments.
