I feel confident enough to speak for them when I say that if they had to travel to Mars to make up these credits they would. If they could turn back time and pass the class the first time, they would. They realize that their previous teachers didn't fail them; they failed themselves. I highly doubt they would complain to a third party about teachers who "want nothing to do with them." <BR/> Our staff is always up for a challenge; the problem is some students sometimes aren't. I don't think we should doubt ourselves because these 2 students might not feel the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020107.post-1161536169625451192006-10-22T12:56:00.000-04:002006-10-22T12:56:00.000-04:00I am not suggesting that "Night School" is the ans...I am not suggesting that "Night School" is the answer, however are teachers ready to deal with the personalized instruction necessary to fill the vacancy created by "night school's" elimination?W Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201586607127043249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020107.post-1161534779759773192006-10-22T12:32:00.000-04:002006-10-22T12:32:00.000-04:00Sending students to night school 2-4 nights a week...Sending students to night school 2-4 nights a week after a full day of regular school was a recipe for disaster. Maybe some kids were able to make up their deficiencies but many spent lots of time transporting to and from schools and fell behind in the classes they were taking the first time. Plus many say the classes were far from rigorous and showing up was a guaranteed pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
