So, last week I had a student with a 74 tell a counselor that my class is too easy, so he wants to move to Pre-AP. (seems he forgot to mention the 74 part) The pre-ap teachers were already pissed because of kids moving from regular to pre-ap. Now rather than study what they are doing, and why kids think that is easier than regular. They just go to the Asst Principal and say we are doing stuff wrong.
I got another email today from a mom saying her kid has informed her pre-ap is easier and he'd have a higher grade. She is probably right. At 4 weeks, pre-ap had only given 6 grades. One of which was a Hobbit test on the first Friday. Now if kids weren't dropping like flies from that, then they gave a test that was much too easy.
At any rate, Lisa (the other reg teacher) had to meet with the dept chair and AP to discuss. Lucily she had all of her stuff together and the pre-ap is having a meeting tomorrow. I'll be stirring the pot early tomorrow.
