272 Words2 Pages

I was not tracked in grade school, but I definitely was tracked in high school. I went to a private school for most of my grade school years, and all of my class was at the same academic level.

When I had to take required CP classes it was aggravating due to not everyone being on the same skill level.

    Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself.
