I am afraid teachers of this caliber are slowly going the way of the dinosaur. It is we the people that are allowing this to happen and we should be very ashamed.
The average national scores on two out of the three sections of the SAT exam, which is the standardized test students take in order to get into college, trended down for the class of 2012.
That could have to do with the fact more students in the class of '12 took the rival ACT exam than the SAT this year, the first time that has ever happened.
Did you take the SAT? Yeah that test that basically places you in your college "success". Well guess what, they are now making the SAT with Reality TV show questions! That sounds like fun, unless you don't watch them, right?
