My Daughters School

Get ready for this cause I'm gonna blitzkrieg your skull with illogic. My daughter went to Hannah Penn
Jr. High last year and was in the gifted program. Her algebra one teacher was unable to keep order in the class and couldn't teach the entire curriculum . So she skipped 12 chapters of Algebra and when the
kids pointed it out, she dared them to go tell the principal. My daughter got A's and B's in this class. This year she went to William Penn High School. She's in Geometry. She can't do the work, noone from her class last year can because they never learned it last year. So the current teacher has to have them come in every night to learn after school what they didn't learn last year, while every day they gotta learn stuff that you can't learn unless you learned the stuff you were supposed to learn last year. I go to the guidance counselor. I tell her the situation..Now everyone knows this situation exists because no one from Hannah Penn can do the work, even the ones who got A's and B's last year. The guidance counselor says she can't say anything about the teacher last year at all because they are in the same union. So I go to a principal. The only solution we can come up with is, since he's management, he has the power to let my daughter take Algebra I again which she took last year and got A's and B's in, but now knows nothing from last year. She'll take the same math class again as last year. The principle will not investigate the teacher last year who skipped 12 lessons because she couldn't keep order in the class. He's afraid of the teacher's union. Hence, that same teacher will next year undoubtedly do the same thing and produce more unprepared kids. And the PSSA test scores for the school will go down endangering every other teacher's job, every counion member's job. The same people who are protecting her because they are fellow union members. And there's no way for the administration to remedy this situation except either make kids take Algebra I and Geometry , Algebra I after school, or repeat Algebra I. This year after having had it last year. Does this situation cry out for outside intervention somehow? Is this kind of like a Joe Heller Catch 22 situation, is it possible for a child to get an education in a system like this? They can't bring he federal government in fast enough to break up these local yokels and entitlement clowns that our blocking our children from getting an education . Just so they can protect mediocrity.
