Do you think teachers spend enough time helping kids to understand their school material? Or do they not care?

Question

do they give you extra help? stay on the subject longer? offer tutoring to give you a better understanding? or do they jus not care?

Answer 1

I'm blessed to be in a school where all the teachers (well for the most part anyway) really do care.  But I've been in schools in the past, and I know of friends in other schools now, who do have teachers that don't care.  It really depends where you are, you can't blanket-statement.

Answer 2

My teachers take too long and go over everything like two or three times. It gets so boring. I guess some kids need it, but I wish they would just teach something andbe done with it. I can't wait for next year when I am in Honors Classes and I won't have to deal with it.

Answer 3

OH  I could go on and on about this, but...

1. Some teachers actually care, but they are tied down by NCLB and have to do things because of it instead of really teaching students, so they don't have time.

2. Some teachers do care, but they aer mandated by administrators to NOT help the children because if they did, there would be proof the child has problems.

They do this because they dont' want to help thru special ed.

I heard this happen WAY too many times.

3. Teachers unions, NEA, tenure, etc keeps teachers IN schools, whether they care or not.

4. Some of them JUST DON"T CARE
