School Grade

Bayshore has been a "D" school not because of the teachers or administrators, but because of the lack of enthusiasm from the student body. Teachers do all they can do to prepare students for the FCAT but not many students take it seriously and blow off any assignment they are given or claim they do not know how to do it or some other excuse.

If I were principal the steps I would take to improve our school grade, 1, get the parents together to inform them of the school grade and how they can help their student(s) to get them more focused , and 2, I would try to motivate the students by offering them small tokens but that are meaningful to them that would get them excited and motivated to achieve a high grade on the FCAT, which is where our school grade comes from.

As for things that ned to be changed or added, I believe more tutoring programs should be added. And to be changed are teachers. Why? Because there are many teachers who are to easy on students or are very lenient and give them to much of a free ride and students won't learn if given the opportunity to slack or are aware that the teacher is easy going.

I agree, students don't care. Honestly, though, I believe that there's no possible way to motivate them to try harder. If they want to be failures in life, then that's their choice. If they regret it later, that's not our fault. I also agree that teachers are too easy and lenient on school conduct.

Teachers are lenient, yes, but the way students have been coddled up till now, and the values that many of them have grown up with, if it was made harder, they'd all drop out and no one would try!
We need to implement a better early education system.

That's the only way to prevent this disaster from happening in the future.
