I know, you're too good to be excessed, you've made yourself too useful!!! <br /><br />The reason High Schools are not offering ES, is that :<br /><br />1)there are more teachers with bio licenses and plenty of Principals are forcing chemistry/physics to unprepared Juniors.<br /><br />2)ES is more often offered in the Junior HS level<br /><br />3) You're such a tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-20933816291954631182014-10-20T08:39:49.804-04:002014-10-20T08:39:49.804-04:00Earth Science can be a terribly boring subject.

What is the point?<br /><br />Earth science requires a lot of reading - and that is the major problem. kids with a third or fourth grade reading level will never do well in most high school level courses.<br /><br />retired teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-50453088231705332272014-10-18T07:14:02.268-04:002014-10-18T07:14:02.268-04:00In reply to Chaz,

But I am no administrator nor a wannabe.<br />I decided to invest in myself and got a Chem license as well as SWD certification in addition to my Earth Science license to make sure I am not excessed and fall into the ATR pool and it worked. People have to invest in their own careers rather than leave themselves to the whims and vagaries of the system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-72991153722874995952014-10-17T17:07:02.223-04:002014-10-17T17:07:02.223-04:00Many schools don't have science teachers that ...Many schools don't have science teachers that are capable of teaching chemistry or physics. One desperate high school even tried reaching out to Dr. Sheldon Cooper-but he refuses to teach in a high school. He says he's afraid of heights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-76584522924077773982014-10-16T16:04:35.738-04:002014-10-16T16:04:35.738-04:00Anon 12:43

Many NYC students are academically unable to master the higher sciences and math of Chemistry and Physics.<br /><br />It s administrators like you that plays the eduction on the cheap game at the expense of your students.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-33914055227208354142014-10-16T09:41:30.905-04:002014-10-16T09:41:30.905-04:00With all this said, the billion plus the city spen...With all this said, the billion plus the city spends on bogus charter schools which are a waste as charter people like moskowitch claim they have a waiting list but rather the truth is that the charter schools have many empty seats and the "waiting list" is a marketing gimmickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-74862152744412261322014-10-16T00:49:17.164-04:002014-10-16T00:49:17.164-04:00Earth Science is a dying subject in most high scho...Earth Science is a dying subject in most high schools.

Yet we lost the line in budget under the subject heading and the school has a history of hiring teachers to take on long term replacement positions being paid as day to day subs. I would like to look for some more concrete evidence in the budget and would appreciate anything you can add. Thank you.<br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
