[quote=Anonymous]I am glad you have the money to live in such a good school district. Not everyone does. The school where I teach and the one my DS would attend are middle of the road schools. Things are different there. Admin doesn’t want to touch enforcing the no cell phone policy because it would probably take up half of their day. Students know that teachers are not allowed to touch their personal property so they take advantage. We can assign homework but it doesn’t count in students’ grades so very few students do it. We have the same grading issue that MCPS has so students have figured out how to do the least amount of work for the highest grade. An A doesn’t mean much as a result. We have to write up individual remedial plans for each student who failed assessments. I have 140 students. Many of them just don’t study or do the work. If you tell admin this, they will tell you that it isn’t the student’s fault he/she failed. Um,yes it is. I feel I didn’t study for a test and didn’t do any homework, nobody would’ve pointed the finger at my teacher. [/quote]
