The kids then had less than one semester of a Geometry class (if they took Algebra as 9th graders), yet Geometry is the majority of the math section. I had one student in my homeroom who simply filled in bubbles because he said he hadn't gotten to Geometry yet, and he didn't understand the questions.<BR/><BR/>Also, students are required to write a 5 paragraph essay in under 30 minutes. Some of those topics are difficult to decipher, yet teachers are not allowed to explain.<BR/><BR/>But like the author of this article said, how much of this is because students are never in class to learn the things we need to do. A good teacher will automatically teach the things that will be on the test; however, maybe we need to make students start taking a test preparation class first quarter of sophomore year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-35278405151368203862008-06-24T11:44:00.000-05:002008-06-24T11:44:00.000-05:00One more reason CSD (Cal Sch Dis)should offer 100%...One more reason CSD (Cal Sch Dis)should offer 100% choice and be one big charter school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
