[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current Functions parent here of a first-time Blair student.  It seems like there is an unnecessary emphasis on speed on the tests.  My kid understands the concepts but needs a bit more time to finish without making any computational mistakes.  Does anyone know the reason behind the emphasis on speed?[/quote]

Bad teacher trying to show off is the only reason.

Don't let it discourage your kid from study and success. But if the unfair system hurts their grades, Precalculus is still a great class and your kid can take advantage of the calmer pace to spend more time studying other subjects or studying math on their own to prep for later classes. [/quote]

Precalculus parent here - it still seems to be an enormous amount of work FWIW. My kid is acing it but is spending many hours on homework.[/quote]

Pre-cal parent here.....the current pre-cal teacher is AWFUL.She doesn't teacher. The kids basically have to learn the materials on their own. I would rather my kid have a great teacher in a challenging class. She is beginning to hate because of a bad teacher. [/quote]

Is there more than one female precalculus teacher? The one we met at BTSN seemed pretty good.[/quote]

My 9th grader concurs that she is not a good teacher. And that the other kids agree. Strange since the other magnet teachers seem fantastic and this likely will have impact on how the kids start off feeling about math.[/quote]

I'm so relieved to see people talking about it on here, I thought it was just my kid making excuses. They are struggling and they keep saying that the teacher doesn't really teach. They've always had As in math at TPMS and they have a C right now. [/quote]
Is it possible she's expecting kids to teach themselves at this level? Is there a book?[/quote]

If the kids are expectrd to teach themselves, they should split the money through teacher is getting, and the teacher should only get sub money for running study hall. [/quote]
