| [b]I was surfing the channels when I spotted this documentary. It took me 30 seconds to recognize this school as the one I had taught at for 11 years. Three years ago I was involuntarily transfered to another middle school. It was amazing to me that Ms. Groves problems were the same ones all teachers face in todays education system. In the past these problems were swept under the rug. But here they were on national television for all to see. I no longer am teaching due to illness so I dont have the concern of being shoved out the door to another school when you bring problems to the forefront. I look foreard to the rest of the series. I actually wept when Ms. Groves was grading her final exams and not a single child in that fourth period class had passed. I had the same experience so many times. Short of drastic changes in the size of the classes, the ability for teachers to use creative curriculium to meet the needs of their students and manditory parent participation I dont see our school systems getting any better. I would be interested in the opinions of any other APS teachers on this series. | |
