I’m not sure why students take physics before biology and chemistry. Maybe someone can explain it to me. Seems counterproductive without the math. Sad to say my kid has told us that she refuses to take another physics class unless its absolutely required- will stick to life sciences-
@Gouf78 we were hoping she would get a new teacher after the first trimester when she added a class to her schedule but no such luck. That’s a great idea about talking with another Physics teacher. Will pass that along.
@drLucia No, he has been there awhile. I believe he left once but has obviously returned. I believe the problem is not inexperience but rather being overly trained and not being able to"dumb down" physics for 14-15 year olds. I guess he uses abtract ideas in lieu of math? He seems to over complicate everything and doesn’t want to use the textbook.
