I don't even know where to START talking about all the things I've heard from teachers! Although I do think the math teacher who singlehandedly eliminated the ENTIRE upper math track (that's right, no students can take algebra before eighth grade, because someone might just have a fit) gets a good shoutout, right along with the elementary school teachers who (I hate to say, successfully) attempted to slow reading progress by purposely just not testing any one of the advanced kids. Really? I mean, they thought if they just told everyone they weren't progressing, they wouldn't?! (In case that didn't make sense, I'm referring to a certain set of little red books apparently leveled with letters of the alphabet....I can't even find it on the internet so it's almost like they made it up...)
Phew. Rant over.
