Jefferson County Exams? PLEASE!

by youdon't know me

Jan 31, 2012

Come on Jefferson County! Keep the kids in school by punishing the parents! Not by giving "exemption" on exams. - You're not doing the children in our county any favors by doing this, sure their attendance may be better, but their test taking skills? NO! My daughter got to college and had no idea how to study for an exam.

On the flip side, this semester one of our teachers (who shall remain nameless at this point in time) gave out the study guide (required by law apparently?) gave the study guide to the class, proceeded to simply give them the answers for the study guide... "number one, b; number 2, d" and so on. On the day of the exam, he did his duty and handed out the little scantron paper, with the little fill in bubbles and told the class "pull out your study guides and fill in the letters" the kids were confused for a moment and then he explained "get out your study guides and fill in the same answers on the test sheet, one, b..." Yes, this actually happened! Of course ...See More

JMO When principals accept their high paying positions, most assume they're willing to do their jobs, even the uncomfortable part when they have to do the observations and paperwork to remove a teacher or service professional. If Principals don't want to do their jobs, then THEY should be removed! Remember, there are bad principals too.

Did he make a mistake? sure! was it irresponsible? sure! is it a bad example? of course. However... honestly does it have anything to do with the way he does his job, I would venture a guess that it doesn't. The kids know all this stuff, they see it every day on television and in the music they listen to. Try as we might, we can't get away from it - all we can do is teach them and hope they get the message. There are drunk drivers everywhere, it could have been much much worse in my opinion. In the meantime, I think that he has done *some* good things at the school. During his first few years, there was some "dead wood" removal going on and while I'll agree that they need to get to work and take care of that which remains, I don't think of the DUI whenever I think of the problems at the school - in my mind the two aren't related. Just my opinion, not disagreeing with you on the point, just stating that it doesn't seem to me to have anything to do with the school.

That being said, the writer JMO below is very correct - do the job you were given or don't have the job, simple as that. Not only are the kids not learning, but Mr LLLLLazy acts as if he's untouchable and that burns me up. So it continues from week to week and another school year will be done and he'll go sit for the summer and return to work and sit for another year not teaching anything really, other than how NOT to teach.
