Power to the Teachers

Where do I fit in you may ask, I admit it, I am a Pre-AP student, and I have nothing against the teachers or students. But I was once at the bottom and I know how it feels to be where there is no one to help you, and then you figure school as a whole is pointless, so you go and get yourself in trouble. You ditch, you smoke, you put off homework, and you dig yourself in deeper, while the AP kids have people to help them and they just keep going up and up and up.

Then there are the teachers. I thank the higher powers that I got an excellent reading teacher. (I didn’t choose reading, I don’t see the point, and again administration chose it at random because I was just a statistic). She is the one who helped me get into writing and post stuff like this. Anyway she shares the same view as me. She sees how Admin is biased, and hates teachers like her, who see the truth, now I ask you, rise up and gather people to help the curriculum reform, make tax dollars go to the under privileged.

The parents have all the power, students have little, and teachers have almost none. Help our cause not just for my school but for all schools, this has got to stop, dropout rates and failure rates are rising because the majority of the students don’t get help, and it is the AP/IB students who make the school get a rating in the first place. (On a side note, IB stands for International Baccalaureate; my school is an IBO world school.) Help me, help us, help yourselves, I truly don’t see a good future for my children (that I have yet to have) because the majority of the labor pool will be unfit for the demanding jobs that we need. Of course we need lower jobs to help the higher jobs perform their duties, while those higher jobs help out the lower jobs. Our schools need reform, and only you can do it.
