[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are doing their part. They work hard, so I feel guilty that the adults are failing them . [/quote] You can't have people teaching advanced classes that don't have the background to teach the content. No one should be teaching high school math without either an undergraduate or graduate degree in math or a related subject (physics etc.). Having subject matter expertise is the only way that a teacher can be a competent teacher. You can't have a surface understanding of a topic to be teaching at the high school level or just reading the answer key. This is part of the reason that education programs in this country are being lambasted. Education pedagogy is fine, but subject matter expertise and the ability to communicate with teens is very important. We literally had a teacher a few years back tell parents that he would be learning the material (AP Calc) along with the students. Completely UNACCEPTABLE![/quote]
