[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader has all As, so are many of her friends. The program is very strong and intense. Lots of homework.

She has taken AP classes and has to study.

Technology teachers have 0 knowledge, have 0 interest in teaching, do not know how to work with (motivated) kids. Very invested in killing student interest in the subject. They should have been fired but school cannot find replacement or cannot fire.

Otherwise, it is wonderful program with very smart motivated kids who have goals, highly motivated and stay focused on school. The amount of work, self imposed desire to keep up does take a mental toll which teenagers are not good at managing. [/quote]

I am curious about the technology teachers. At least the one my son has now is clueless. The kids can tell that she is clueless. What can a student and their parents do to make a change? It may be too late for my child but I am willing to work so that the next class don't suffer. [/quote]

Go back in time and encourage more people to go into CS 20 years ago and set up a different comp structure for HS teachers with in demand skills.  Even the colleges are having a hard time finding professors to teach CS.  Have your kid make friends with the other kids in the class.  There’s always a couple that know this stuff and will help others.  My kid was that kid last year but is in a different CS class this year.  [/quote]

NP, it is not just lack of knowledge, my impression from DC is that she is a little mean and unfriendly also ..[/quote]
