[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question-- are ya'll's comments on poor math instruction based on this year or based on history?

The reason I ask is that dd's friends have the same teacher dd had last year.  And from what they say, she is taking the instruction much more seriously.  Dd complained that last year, she didn't really teach and spent a lot of her time on her phone.  But this year, the friends say she is actively teaching.

I'm wondering if math teachers are preparing more and trying to be more serious because there is a new sheriff in town, or if this is an isolated anecdote.  [/quote]

My experience is based on several years with kids at the school. With the new principal we were hoping something would change (like ineffective teachers would be gone) but it appears to be the exact same staff. The fact that some teachers knew they could get away with doing the bare minimum and still be secure in their jobs is really sad and pathetic. If you don't want to teach, find something else to do. People change careers all the time. I think a lot of them who are tired of teaching and do as little as possible are sticking around to claim their pensions which are pretty darn good in MCPS.[/quote]
