The Failings of the Public School

Posted by Erin on May 21, 2009

Next year, I will again be teaching (or trying to) 10th and 11th graders, while watching my favorite students, who I’ve taught for the past two years, move on to AP Lit. It is not a happy day. My C and D students are being set up for failure, all in the name of a school grade.

It’s enought to make you lose hope.
