Spoke with AB, Math teacher today regarding the trouble she has had with this group this year. Many students are poor in math; having them in a large math class where many are behavior problems is like creating a torture chamber for them. They don'thave the maturity and work ethic to be here for 5 hours straight. Some students have already mastered the content, but are unmotivated to produce work.
In the future could we create a process where they could they test out of the class?
Also many of our students here have ADHD diagnosis; defiance towards authority, etc. We are ill equipped to deal with this. The summer school is set-up with an academic focus only. Behavioral and societal issues are the real culprit in most cases.
