Don't leave your BEEhind Behind- Chapter 3

  • How many parents do you really think understand when we say "You're son/daughter is doing very well and improving tremendously, HOWEVER they have failed the test, Sorry!" (p.55)MCLB. Raising a child's score 30% counts for nothing for them or for us as teachers, but if you were lucky enough to get a group of high achievers in your homeroom, guess what you are awesome!!!
  • Should we not be looking at each student individually and measuring their personal growth instead of looking at overall scores of a school (such as mine) with a large transient population as a whole?
