The kinds of teachers McDowell hires.

Okay.
So some teachers are better than others.
That's to be expected.
Some are more liked than others.
That's understandable.
Some have more knowledge and ability,
That's fine too.

What's not fine is how some teacher's treat there students, grading procedures, teaching methods, and just their actions in general.

What kind of school hires a teacher who teaches people to build a wagon and dance,
Instead of kids learning who actually won a war and why?

What kind of school hires a history teacher who grades 50% of a project on creativity, 30% on correct grammer/english, and only 20% on actual facts.
Doesn't this seem just a bit (or a lot) disproportional?

What kind of school hires a teacher who speaks German in Spanish class and teachers her students next to nothing?

What kind of school hires a coach who won't allow a student to play ROTC volleyball because he says its not a real sport and wants the student to spend after school weight lifting every day just so he can be bigger for next season, even though there are supposed to be exemptions for those playing other sports during the off season?


These are just a few things I have noticed,
And find ridiculous.
It's just not right.
Am I the only one who thinks this?
There are more instances than this,
but this is all I could think of off the top of my head.
Post your responses and own opinions,
Because I think something is wrong that needs to be changed.

Well, I can tell you how to fix this.

First, you have to get a large committee of students together. The purpose of this committee is to decide how to go about doing something about this problem.

Next, this committee decides to form another committee to petition the School Board or whoever does the hiring to listen to them.

The employers will then require that the students form another committee to find reasons why they should consider doing anything.

Then, once you have their attention, they will form a committee to decide whether or not to do something.

In order to come up with this decision, they must form a committee to gather information, as if the information that the students provided wasn't good enough.

IF they find that something needs to be done, they will form another committee to try to figure out a good way of going about doing something.

Then someone in this committee will think of the bright, though off-topic, idea of double-checking that the students put enough effort into convincing them, and would thus form a committee to investigate the students' methods of exacting this change.

After the committee from two paragraphs up reaches a conclusion, it will sound too good to be true to them, so, of course, they form a committee to investigate the whole thing's authenticity.

Then a committee will be formed to make sure that the members of the authenticating committee are doing their job well, but will soon be disbanded as they realize that the students may start complaining that they investigate authenticators, but not the teachers themselves.

(here's the good part)
Now that they are completely content in their plan, satisfied that they developed it very well and effeciently, and assured that it will bring about a positive change, they will form a committee to implement their plan.

After implementing the plan, they soon learn that no one is satisfied. They must then form a committee to find out why.

Reluctantly, they admit to themselves that the problem was their incompetence, but try to blame it on something silly like lack of funding, or, of all things, a lack of planning in the beginning stages.

And finally, they form a committee to make sure everything gets covered up.


Conclusion: Don't bother. By the time anything would get done, you will have graduated.

Perhaps graduated for some of us, however a recognition will have been made if things go as we currently have planned. Policies that we could request changed, don't necessarily have to be the glue of the district, but simple annoyances to the students. I've seen some policies enacted ~just because 3 students thought it a good idea~. This idea is currently used today and it happened in the course of 1 year.

Lol at the lack of funding. McDowell is like the richest high school I've seen, but hey, I can't really deny this until its been tried. And if I am graduated before a policy is passed, at least the idea will be passed onto other students at McDowell.

Some teachers are there because they get a paycheck, others, for example Mr Davis (awesome teacher) care about the students. It happens. Its life.

Yes,
It does happen.
But it shouldn't,
Especially with how bad some teachers are.
We need at least some standards,
I mean really.

You see, this is also an occurring problem with the Intensified Block scheduling. They have to hire more teachers, unless the want each teacher to have 240 students. I think teachers should be people that can relate to people. It's that simple. Even if they really aren't that good at what they do, as long as you know they love it. They're in for my books.

Mrs. Domsic?
-doesn't love her job
-doesn't like kids
-doesn't love math
-doesn't like people
-annoying
-controlling
-childish
-tired

Good teacher? Perhaps in some years she may develop some potential. As for now. Well, she is taking on life much to fast. A new job, pregnant, and a new house all in 3 months. What do we love about certain teachers? I think it's their ability to relate individually with a large number of people in a very short amount of time.

Teachers can suck mah big fat peepee.
I dont take shit yo.
Those meanie teachers aint gunna leave yo so just deal-wit'em and stop complaining.
You guys actualy gunna do stuff or just list whats wrong with faculty?
Mah-fuckahz out yo!

I definitely agree. I like teachers that are more "human" lmao! They're just people that come in and do what they love to do. I think its great when teachers crack jokes with me and throw me around a little bit. It shows me that they do care and that they like what they do. Teachers that are all work and no play, just dont work!
