“Point out the underperforming teachers please!”
I’m not joking.
Problem identification is usually needed for problem solving.
It’s been shown time and again that most high school teachers can’t pass eighth grade tests. How can they perform adequately as high schol teachers?
Hubby tutored algebra to a girl in our church because she was failing. He showed her how to “work it out” which made it possible for her to understand. (The students didn’t need to show their work. They only needed to pick a multiple choice answer and enter it into a computer.)
Immediately her grades went screaming to the top and the teacher couldn’t understand why. The girl showed the teacher how to get the answer (teacher had no clue) — and the teacher immediately started to single her out for scorn and verbal abuse. The parents had to have her moved to another class.
So I’ve pointed out one underperforming teacher.
I’m glad that we had excellent teachers when I was in school in NYS back in the day. It sure has changed when it comes to high standards.
