how the school system really work

Message body

Things in this city has always been messed up espically the school system. The schoolboard and officials seend from the beginning that those tests was a problem and if they didn't see in the beginning they should it now. A lot of the students in da video we viewed in class were struglling with trying to pass the leap. They were trying some gave up but some said they would continue taking the test. I hate the fact that they have the test as requirement to graduate beacuase that really hold the students back. One of the students mentioned in the video who was the highest in her class couldn't pass the GEE. One my teachers told me he feel as though the leap and GEE is keeping us from learning everything there is to learn. The teachers have to teach what they think is going to be on the test and not everything they could be teaching besides what's on the test. I agree with him we can't learn everything because the curriculum is based on the leap and GEE. The
school system in this city don't care bout none of that I don't think they care bout the school system at all . In the video one of the students said that his teacher ask him to pay him them so he could pass the course. This goes to show how much the teachers really care about putting in the hard work to help the students succeed. I feel like the school system is failing the students because they feel like whether we learn or not they will still get paid, many of my teachers have said that. I'm not gon try to talk bad about them they would say this when the class got out of control and that go back to the school system. If the class wasn't over crowded and we didn't have to share books I don't think the teachers would have to make that statement. Its hard to teach an over crowded class with all those students talking. I have had to learn in that type of environment many times but I tried to stay focus and get my work done. No one should have to try to
learn under those conditions.
