<p>oh yeah, we have a h.s. story. S2 gets a math teacher this year (jr) who was on some kind of teacher exchange program for 2 years to our school. She was from an Asian country and spoke with a thick accent. She taught nothing. S said she spent a lot of time educating them on the culture of her country. The students entered the room one day to find her sitting at her desk and a note written on the board explaining that in her culture/religion it was a day of silence and so she would not be speaking to them at all that day. </p>
<p>The kids spent a lot of time sleeping (1st period class), eating and joking around with the teacher. She gave S B’s every quarter. The final exam was written by another teacher and all the kids in S’s class failed so he got a C for the class (his first math C and this was a non-honors class!). All of this was of no consequence to the teacher because the school is starved for a warm body to serve as a math teacher and because she is returning to her country at the end of the semester. I guess she had a great American experience but it was a really bad experience for the students unlucky enough to land in her class.</p>
