One of the billion reasons why teacher morale is low...

Yes teachers should certainly have a say...

Though, I did transfer high schools (different state) and the math curriculum (math was my best subject) was set up differently, so the guidance counselor, being extremely conservative thought nit was in my best interest to start at the very bottom...

It was a 2 semester (4 quarter) full school year class for those that struggled with middle school math...

The first quarter, I was literally doing my entire class work in the first 15 minutes and then started HW from other classes, before they break us up into groups and then I'd talk, chat and help those in my group.

The second quarter, the classes test grades got low, and the teacher started yelling at me for going ahead and finishing before she'd get half way done... and for doing other subjects in her class.

They had a test out half way through, so I could try to get to the next level math, after the first semester... she the teacher was concerned for me.... I took the test and thought I got an A in it.... and she later pulled me out of another class to have a one on one discussion with me, and basically gave me a 5 minute speech how she hopes my feeling aren't hurt by the exam and if I'll be alright and all this other stuff, and then I suddenly thought I failed the test....

And finally she pulled it out and I got a 93 on the test, but she was trying to talk me into staying in her class as she was concerned I would struggle in future math classes...


And still til this day, I don't understand that woman... I totally get it that she's trying to be protecting of her students that struggle in math .... but how in the hell could she not tell that I was clearly not one of them? I never got 100s as I'll always make a simple error here or there... but I think I got mostly A or extremely high B's and I seriously put zero effort into it... that was like 3 years ago math to me, and see couldn't recognize that...

I didn't have to actually try in math for two more semesters catching up to where I was before the move...

Everything in schools anymore is all so data-driven that I think the [i]child[/i] sometimes is forgotten.

That’s asinine to suggest you don’t know your students!!
Schools need to stop worrying about their standings and focus on the students.

I think teachers and nurses are systematically abused by their employers, frankly. I think there's actually a name for it, which I can't recall just this second.

Not that surprising at all. Classes are so over crowded that teacher's don't know there own students. Also the teachers are Force to teach at a certain speed so they can't help students if they are having trouble

Sounds like her balloon is carrying her away on her own hot air. 🤗 Sorry she is such a dild----o.

Political correctness, wokeism and critical race theory are the new priorities within the leftist public indoctrination system.

They're aiming for standardization. It's a shame they didn't let you be part of the process.

Teachers also aren’t paid enough so there’s that
