I am a GT teacher. If you go to the bottom of this page,

Does anybody have problems of coaches at your school
having control of everything? I'm frustrated. When we
academic teachers try to have tutoring sessions for the
SATPs, a lot of kids can't come because they have

Were you told the practice test had to be kept secure?

Yes, we were told that we could show it to students and

Have any of your districts purchased it? What do you
think about it?

Sandy Watkins /blockquote>

My grandchildren's school district uses Buckle Down and love
it. They are a level 5 school and all the teachers and
students like the format.

I am a first year teacher that teaches middle school. I
have been the victim of numerous verbal attacks where I
have been cursed out in front of other students and the
administrators ALWAYS take the student's side. When
students are written up for their offenses it is always an
excuse for the disruptive ...See More

the Education Committe of the Mississippi Legislature to
express a complaint and lobby for a Teacher Rights Bill.

My school is going to the 4 by 4 block in fall, 09. What
is it like to teach English 1 on this type of schedule? I

everything in - novels r...See More
