Kids text now, I think. That's all I can think up anyway.
Depends on the district as well. Our yearbook teacher gets paid an extra $2000 a year or something like that (the newspaper teacher gets a little...
I only have the rest of this week left with my seniors. We just have final exams (which I don't give to AP classes) left.
Considering she apologized (however insincere it may appear to be), I see little reason to continue chastising her. But I'm kidding. I would...
I'm going to disagree. When you're in my room, you do my work. That's how it was when I was in high school, and that's how I always expect it to...
Typically, we have 2-3 formal "test grade" essays per grading period.
We use TurnItIn.com for most submissions, so I think students try to avoid plagiarism. But when it does happen, I give a zero and refer them to...

Yes, I believe pre-AP programs should last from middle school up to the lower high school grades. Pre-AP students perform much better, if they...
I want to refer to what mmswm said earlier in the topic. I find that happens way too often. Calculus students can do calculus - no problem. It...
What textbook will you be using? I use The Practice of Statistics, 3rd Edition with my AP Stats class. The previous AP teacher told me that she...
Not to mention, your administrator should not just be labeling classes as AP. Courses MUST be approved by the College Board to be labeled as AP,...
I use the AP Calculus text by Finney, Demana, Waits, and Kennedy (iirc) for my AP Calc AB and BC classes. For regular calculus, I use Stewart...
Ours is A: 95-100 B: 85-94 C: 84-75 D: 74-70 F: 69 and below
That may be the vibe you're getting, but it's not correct. I advocate punishment for the boy, but I don't think putting this kid under the jail...
