Long grind ahead

Got briefed on the students I will be teaching for the rest of the year, and the median student would be described as a nice person but lazy. So I expect to feel like I do a lot of work to not much point for the rest of the year.

It raises a few questions, what has been done. There are about five students who are genuinely likely to pass level 3 bio, but to do so they need to have done five topics, and the teacher has decided to only do four in class. This is because the rest of the class is not keeping up so rather than lose all of them he slowed down to try and get as many of them as many credits as possible. This has penalised the top kids as they now have to do a whole topic by 'correspondence'. Its done now and can't be changed, but its a fundamental question in such a mixed group. Do you teach to the top and look after the students that get the most from the course, or teach the majority?

Sounds like a good example of why streaming is a good idea

Woah, hard question. I think I normally teach to the majority, but try and have stuff to help the top kids help themselves that extra bit. I can't believe they cut Level 3 Bio so much! That is crazy!

The average kid in NZ is lazy, you got a bonus with nice ;)

Also, try not to think of your Y11s as seniors, they are just year 10s who have been at school a bit longer. I found this year much easier with my Y11s when I treated them like Y10s, whereas last year I was thinking of them as seniors, what with the exams and all. Big mistake on my behalf. Anyway, that might help.
