[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I cringed at the school administrators and faculty, they came across as one step above inept. [/quote] Really? We must not have been watching the same documentary. What is a H'S teacher supposed to do with students who arrive for 9th grade with barely functional literacy and math skills and who, in many cases, have no one capable of ensuring their attendance. These teachers are the front line for deep societal and socioeconomic issues. Parents using drugs, family members with HIV, friends and siblings being murdered, the fact that 30 of 33 were able to graduate and have the opportunity to attend college is nothing short of miraculous.[/quote] And, where did those 9th graders with barely functional literacy and math skills come from? A dysfunctional DCPS for K-8 that completely failed them.[/quote]
