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

I had the head of curriculum basically tell me today that I don't know my students well enough to know if they should be in Pre-Algebra or Algebra next year and that they will figure it out based on data.

Are you *(&%%&# kidding me? Students I have spent the entire year with? I have no clue if they are ready for the next level?

I had all I could do to not tell this woman off. What the heck do people think teachers do that they wouldn't know their own students??
