Science Grades Being Awarded On Student Report Cards Even When No Science Lessons Are Taught

[LWolf]

4. When, 2 years ago,

an admin suggested that I really didn't need to teach social studies, that it would be better to just focus on reading, I replied:

"Let me know when the district takes social studies off the report card I'm required to put grades onto." Of course, that didn't happen.

Imagine the response if we just left it blank, and when parents asked, we could tell them "My boss/our district/etc. told us to quit teaching it to focus on tested subjects, or to give it so little time and attention in favor of tested subjects that we can't really give a final grade."

It would be good for the board to pay attention to why science, or any other tested subject, isn't getting enough time or attention in the classroom.
