[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing this thread taught me is that many people posting have no idea how hard it is to be a teacher and most assume that all the teachers have low expectations. Then, those low expectations teachers are the SOLE reason why there are students not scoring a 4 or a 5. To the original poster thinking about coming from Baltimore to DC, the grass is not always greener and even in "good" schools, you can have parents like many of the ones posting in this thread. Take that as you want! [/quote] I have no idea where you got that from. I have seen no replies that suggested any of this was on the teachers. Teachers are being set up to fail. In my last year in education I was written up for defending a teacher who didn't meet growth targets. I asked, "What the hell is the teacher supposed to do with a class of 75% 2 or more grade levels behind? She's got no assistant and can only teach one lesson at once?" [/quote]
