What would you do if your math teacher quit?

Buy your self a Kaplan AP Calc. book. Our teacher recomended it. It helps you to go over all the things that you have leant in past year. I personally had bought Spark Notes one. Because it had flashcards in it. Those books helps you a lot if you have less time to prepare.\n\nP.S. if your school has AP Stat teacher or High school calc. teacher go ask them for some help. I am sure they won't deny. BEST LUCK for the exams.

This is unfortunate from your perspective, but there isn't anything you can do about it.  In public schools, teachers are backed by a powerful union, and tenured teachers are impossible to get rid of (even child molestation often is hard to remove a teacher for unless there is really hard and convincing proof).  In the private schools, it's considerably easier, but again is unlikely.  \n\nThe bad news is this is a chance for your child to learn to work with hard-to-work-with people.  There are many scatterbrained people among us in real life, and this is probably no exception.  \n\nFurther, this is NOT that uncommon.  Many variables go into the dates for assignments and tests, and teachers often are forced ot make changes at the last minute to accommodate something else.  Graded work often goes into the pile and is graded as he or she gets time to do it.  At the middle school or high school level, this teacher probably has to support 150+ students each day, and in English, especially (if this is an English teacher) the paperload is enormous.   This is why many math teachers have gone to grading work on a "check" basis (going around the classroom, seeing it's done, then checking it off as being done), then grading it in class.  This is because for math you HAVE to have immediate feedback, whereas in other classes it doesn't really matter if you get immediate feedback or not (it's NICE, but it won't hurt you in later assignments).  With regard to missing assignments...often I have found that it is the student who forgets (but not always).  I learned after I developed a "check-in" system where I checked off the work as it was put into the basket that often the students who'd swear I lost their work...never really turned it in, and assumed that since they couldn't find it, they turned it in!\n\nTeachers often do not return phonecalls and e-mails because they either don't get the messages or do not have time to call or write.  They, like you, often do not want to work any more than they have to at home, and usually this means their full day plus several hours at night...so there really isn't time to return calls.  Personal issues that crop up are hard to deal with when you're teaching because you can't even get to a phone for most of the day (unlike the average job of anyone else with a college degree, where you can go to the bathroom when you need to...usually...and pick up the phone and make a quick five-minute call when you need to).\n\nThis is also why I stopped teaching.  It IS that difficult to have a life and do your best to support the kids.  It was EITHER be a person myself OR be everything for the kids.  After several years of being a 24/7 teacher, I burned out and had to recareer.  Tenured teachers, I've seen, have come up with interesting strategies to deal with the stress.  Some of those strategies, sadly, include ignoring the parents.  This isn't PERSONAL, but it's one of the ways they can cope with the emotional demands of being a teacher (much less the paperload).\n\nSo, let's come back to what you can do, now that you see more about her perspective and the fact that you won't REALLY be able to do anything.  The best way you can help is to ask her what she needs from YOU to help your child.  There's always something you can do, too, and asking this way means you are not the enemy.\n\nIn the meantime, the only one that can help HER with new strategies is another teacher she respects.  If you have a good rapport with one of the other teachers in her area, talk to that teacher.  Tell that person you're concerned because this teacher seems really stressed and may be losing papers.  She's having trouble with paperload.  Maybe she needs some help?  Would she maybe be open to having volunteers in her classroom or finding other ways to deal with paperload?  By showing that you do care about the teacher, too, you will probably

Most likely, but the question remains: Why would I??!!  What are YOU gonna learn if someone else does your work for you?  Nothing.  I remember in my early college days, in my math class, how my "co-students" or whatever you call your "classmates", would marvel at how I never did my homework till class that day, and when we were asked to go to the board and do one of our homework problems, I just went up there with my book instead of any homework papers, read the problem from the book, and solved it in a matter of seconds.  And I got straight "A's" in that class.  Was I "extra-smart"?  Hell no!!  Did I "love math"?  You've got to be kidding!!  Did I have ONE, STERN FATHER at home who made sure I learned my math.  COUNT  ON  IT !!  I've thanked him thousands of times for the enormous amount of time and energy he took to make me learn simple arithmetic back in the summer after my 6th grade, and math was so much easier ever since.  And now he's dead.  He died last year after a long and good life.  And for years now I've told people who was responsible for my very quick ability to do math in my head, "on demand", or "at the spur of the moment".  I love that "old man" that I so often hated when I was a kid.  So, do your own homework.  Put your head to the grindstone as the old phrase says.  Buckle down, is another favorite phrase I often heard.  You know how to do it.  You're just being too damn lazy to do it yourself.  Get on with it!!  You'll love yourself all the more later on because you didn't skip out on the task.  And maybe you'll invent some new computer years later, or discover a new star or constellation through one of those magnificent telescopes where math is still required because you can't actually see the star, only the unusual movement of those around it, and only math will give you the answer.  Or maybe you'll just marvel other shoppers and the cashier or your kids some time from now when you don't need one of those damn computer-cashregisters to figure out how much change you get back, or can balance your check book without an extra piece of paper to do your arithmetic on.  Go to it !!  God Bless you!!

This happen to me in jr. high.  I told my mom,  she said, " the teacher must of really wanted you to go, maybe there was something you could of learned that now you missed out on. "  Don't worry about the teachers threat.  I did and had a knot in my stomach,  my teacher just wanted the best for me, and thought the old way of do it else would work.  The only misery I have is wondering what I missed out on learning, even if it was a lesson or two.  Every lesson is something to grow on.  So Just ignore your teachers bad method.  Nothing will happen.

I would tell the teacher. But your partner may deny it so be prepared to stand your ground. I mean why should you fail just because your partner is too lazy to actually do the work?

First, ignore the snide idiot above.  You are a teacher, not a student.\n\n\nGood teachers: \n• have a sense of purpose; \n• have expectations of success for all students; \n• tolerate ambiguity; \n• demonstrate a willingness to adapt and change to meet student needs; \n• are comfortable with not knowing; \n• reflect on their work; \n• learn from a variety of models; \n• enjoy their work and their students. \n\n\nGood teachers have a sense of purpose. \nStudents are in school for a reason.  This might be to pass the exam, or to get a good job.  A good teacher knows what their students need and makes lessons plans with aims and objectives that fill that need. You can't be good in a generic sense; you have to be good for something.\n\nGood teachers have expectations of success for all students. \nA good teacher will have expectations about what happens in their classroom, based on the goals they are trying to achieve. If you want to prepare your students for employment, you expect punctuality and good attendance. If you teach an exam preparation class, you spend time explaining the format of the test and helping students to improve their test-taking skills. And if you want your students to become better, more involved readers, you allow time for reading and provide access to books. A good teacher knows what the students need and tells the students what they expect from them during class time.\n\nGood teachers know how to live with ambiguity. \nOne of the greatest challenges of teaching stems from the lack of immediate, accurate feedback. The student who walks out of your classroom tonight shaking his head and muttering under his breath about algebra may burst into class tomorrow proclaiming his triumph over math, and thanking you for the previous lesson. There is no way to predict precisely what the long-term results of our work will be. But if we have a sense of purpose informing our choice of strategies and materials, and we try to cultivate expectations of success for all our students, we will be less likely to dwell on that unpredictability, choosing instead to focus on what we can control, and trusting that thoughtful preparation makes good outcomes more likely than bad ones. \n\nGood teachers adapt and change to meet student needs. \nCan we really claim to have taught if no one learned? If none of our students ever pick up a book outside of the classroom, have we really taught them to be better readers? We don't always think about these issues, but they are at the heart of effective teaching. A great lesson plan and a great lesson are two entirely different things; it's nice when one follows the other, but we all know that it doesn't always work out that way. We teach so that students will learn, and when learning doesn't happen, we need to be willing to devise new strategies, think in new ways, and generally do anything possible to revive the learning process. It's wonderful to have a good methodology, but it's better to have students engaged in good learning. \n\nGood teachers are reflective. \nThis may be the only infallible, absolute characteristic of all good teachers, because without it, none of the other traits we've discussed can fully mature. Good teachers routinely think about and reflect on their classes, their students, their methods, and their materials. They compare and contrast, draw parallels and distinctions, review, remove and restore. Failing to observe what happens in our classes on a daily basis disconnects us from the teaching and learning process, because it's impossible to create connectivity if you've disconnected yourself. \n\nGood teachers are comfortable with not knowing. \nIf we reflect honestly and thoughtfully on what happens in our classes, we will often find dilemmas we cannot immediately resolve, questions we cannot answer. Our teaching benefits if we can live for a little while with a question, think and observe, and let an answer de

Give up teaching???? No Way!

It's very common for otherwise "successful" students to have a difficult time with Geometry.  It requires you to look at things a little differently than normal.  I was lucky, and it clicked for me.\n\nIn your situation, since you had prearranged all these meetings, I would go to talk to the principle, superintendent, or a maybe even a member of the school board.  Of course, which  one kind of depends on how big your school is.  The smaller the school, the higher up I would go, but in a large school, it might be a bit extreme to go straight to the superintendent.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!  I know how much it sucks when people in charge of your grade aren't doing their job.  There are some really great teachers, but there are a whole lot of bad ones, too.

I'd say your best bet would be to give up your profession.\nAnd get into the grind for youself.  You know what 'they' say.  Experience is the best teacher.  Than you'd surely know how to keep your bitches ignorant and happy at the same time.

If you want to make the article more interesting, ask something about before she was a math teacher. Before college even. What she originally wanted to be when she was young, and what led to this career choice. Or ask if she has a personal motto for herself.

either you leave him or quit. it's simple.
