I just started school back two days ago from my summer break. This is my senior year and I am planning on going to college right out of high school. It's hard for me to understand why someone would even take up a job like teaching if they weren't intending on taking it 100% seriously. Last year, we took the second part of the GEE(Graduation Exit Exam). 30% of my class, a class where half of the students still cannot read, made Advanced on the Science section. I also made Advanced. I started to get curious about how this could have happened when one of the dumbest people I know came up to me bragging about how they made the same as me. I asked some people, and apparently the teacher had given them the answers. You don't have to be a genius to know that that is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. I told people about it and they did nothing to the teacher. This is the whole high school's Science teacher. She teaches Pyshics, Physical Science, Chemistry..etc. This is the same teacher I have had for five different core cirriculum classes since my freshman year. We have opened books in this woman's class maybe 20 times throughout the whole time I have had her. Right now, I'm the Valedictorian. The guy that is second in class is her favorite student, so she had been giving him higher grades than me intentionally all throughout high school. He made a 14 on his ACT. The lowest score of anyone in our whole school. Anyways, back to the point. I'm taking Biology 2 to prepare me for college. Today, in class, she informed us we won't be doing work this year. She's just going to pass us all and call it okay. The School Board seems to see nothing wrong with this. This woman is ruining people's education and should be fired. Just because there is a shortage of teachers, they're not doing anything about it. I just wanted to know if anyone else thought this was one of the STUPIDEST things they have EVER heard?
