Have you asked the kids? They probably know. There were bad teachers in my high school; pretty much everybody knew who they were. One was so senile he routinely forgot what assignments he'd given or what he was saying.
- kenjackson 16y agoWe didn't have anyone that senile at my schile, but if we did -- the only question would be "how hard is the class". If he forgot assignments and gave A's, he'd be loved by the students. But I went to a really bad high school. I suspect at better schools students are probably better judges. But you end up with an odd situation where the schools that need the least help have the more accurate assessment (and frankly probably have the fewest poor teachers).
