Group P: Rude Much?

Mr. Cayea was actually just talking about this article, or what the article is about in class a couple weeks ago. He went from happy to quite angry within seconds. I think if teachers are going to be rated on how well kids do on tests and their overall averages in class, isn’t going to be fair to the teachers. Mr. Cayea and many of the other teachers here at Alden High, are awesome teachers. The students here though, are really lazy. It’s not the teachers fault if a student does badly on a test, quiz or anything else. They need to look at the fact if the student did bad, why did they do bad? A lot of students lately don’t really care about their grades and give up. Teachers shouldn’t have to be graded upon students who don’t care about school. It doesn’t show how the teachers are good or not at their job. If maybe all the kids were failing then there would be a problem. Even if it came to the teachers being rated on the students’ effort, the teachers can’t do anything to motivate them. You can show the students what will happen to them if they don’t do well in school or even drop out and sometimes it won’t even faze them. It’s sad. It really is. I just don’t want teachers being fired because of kids making stupid decisions. If parents look at their kids’ report cards and see that they’re failing a class, they should be questioned why. They shouldn’t just push it aside. Clearly there is something wrong with the kid. Don’t just blame it on the teacher. I mean, yea, there are some horrible teachers out there, but in the end, they are still teaching us something. If you’re sitting there at the exam and don’t know anything, that’s when you have a problem.
