Topanga, that was perfect use of evidence to fuel that question. You launched something so open ended that allowed for so much discussion and variety of ideas. Your comfort level listening and pushing people through questions was awesome!

Ki said, "If you're good at your job, why would you be worried about tenure". Dude. Your responses and ideas are powerful. You really pull on so many different avenues to explain your ideas.

what you said about the teachers not having tenure if they know they are good teachers is totally true cause like be a good teacher and inspire students.

Wow! I LOVE that you started with national research and then included Louisiana before asking students to refocus to local.

That was a great question! Way to challenge the speaker.

It gave everyone great footing and a jumping off point. I like that you kept it open ended so people could approach it any way they wanted to. That's why your question got even more quiet students to weigh in. Questioning is an art :-)

As teachers all the pressure is on you!! You are responsible for molding an entire generation so that they can be successful in the future. That could possibly play a role in the teacher shortage??!

I feel like from the movie, it shows us that our parents or guardians really care about us and wants the best for us. They just might not have the money to get you into a better life. They expect the schools that are in the area to be able to want whats best for their child just as much as them.

You bringing up testing and how that could determine school success was pretty interesting.

Whoa! Great question about the LEAP, you asked, "If the LEAP didn't exist, would schools be where the are?"

# data[].attributes.body
i feel the leap test is mandatory so the government can see where everyone is at

# data[].attributes.body
way to keep eye contact and stay engaged in the lesson

# data[].attributes.body
The Leap shows where a students stands within that years subject. It shows where the student stands.

# data[].attributes.body
When you said "without the LEAP, schools wouldn't know where to go with the kids". There's a word for this- the point you're trying to make is that without tests, schools may not have a baseline to plan or help kids.

# data[].attributes.body
Way to agree with the LEAP question in a respectful way and provide a beneficial solution on how to possibly improve the LEAP to help students grow!

# data[].attributes.body
If they adjust the type of tests and information on tests to determine the knowledge of students they'd probably have a better outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you explained how leap can be helpful but some kids are just not test takers

You should say something, we know that you have an opinion or something.... ANYTHING that sparks your interest!!

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers in this school, that I have witnessed, really focus on tests that show no real importance on our future. When will I need to take a Leap tests to live my life, pay taxes, graduate college. After High school, those tests don't matter.

Your teachers and what you learn at school, if you try hard enough can't really stop you from wanting better for yourself.

It sounds like you have a lot of personal drive in that you said that regardless of your teachers and your background. The job and training of a teacher is actually to prepare the kids who may not have the drive. We don't get paid to teach only the kids who are motivated and could make it with or without it.

Ok... seriously, your willingness to put yourself out there caused other people to think differently about what they thought, felt, etc. We often stay narrow in our ideas until another person simply gives us something else to think about. Thank you!
