[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in a private high school school now, but much of my experience has been in public schools.

It’s a HUGE disservice to private school students to a) have so many uncertified teachers, and b) to have such a lack of standardization across courses (ie all teachers teaching the same course do it however they want and do not align with other teachers at all). This results in HUGE gaps in student achievement. [/quote]

+1  This is my experience as well.  One of my colleagues really should be fired for the corners she cuts and the shockingly poor "lessons" she delivers.  But, she gives As to almost everyone, basing her assessment on stupid "fun" projects that do not require the kids to read the novels at all.  She gives "bonus rounds" in which students are asked to answer questions about their classmates favorite foods/hobbies, and this fluffs up the grades.  I keep waiting for admin to notice that she leaves an hour early every day and doesn't attend any assemblies or meetings.

She is, however, best friends with the department chair, who doesn't ever observe classes.  I am shocked that the chair backs this woman up when parents complain about the borderline bullying behavior this teacher directs toward two or three students.  The parents are right, though.[/quote]
