Oh, wait?did I write ?interesting?? Sorry. I meant ?idiotic.? Want to know what's wrong with America's schools? Teachers who write stuff like this (make sure not to miss the parts about his way-cool band!). Here are some choice bits (emphasis mine):
I didn't mention it before, but these were students in AP Biology class. Not once in their letter did they say ?thank you for preparing us for the AP Exam.? In fact, they barely mentioned content at all and when they did it was only to reference my teaching methods and confidence in them. I couldn't tell you how either of them did on the AP Biology exam, and I really don't care.
I teach students. The content is just a gimmick.?The important lessons aren't on any written test?but life will test them for a lifetime.
?The important lessons aren't on any written test?but life will test them for a lifetime?? Thanks, Confucius. Can somebody please fire this guy? Nope.
