Getting a D school grade.

For the past three years Bayshore High school has received a D grade for the school. I personally think that represents are school to the "T". The students are not motivated to do any work and it shows in the grade. Test scores are the big reason why we get such a low grade every year. The students think that the FCAT doesn't matter so they just blow it off and continue to do nothing each and every year.

But there are things that our faculty can do to try to motivate the students to do well on the big tests that count for our school grade. The first thing they can do is, the class that does the gets the overall best scores on the test can get some sort of reward, maybe like a pizza party or ice cream party.

Also, teachers can try not to push the tests so much that the students just want to fail it on purpose. I think teachers scare the students in to passing these tests. That in my mind is not the way to teach it. Just try to motivate them into doing good, not overwhelm them.

I think that with a little motivation from our students and less intimidation from our teachers we can raise that D score to a C or B in just a few years.
