Testing
Strategies
Parents
We found out that parents get the privilege of showing to the school whenever they want. But also that knowing the reputation of Carl Hayden the participation is also very poor. Not much parents show interest in their students school life. It is sad to find this statistics but its true. There are parents who show some matter of awareness in their students life but not as many as they should be. There is some events organized to bring the parents together and help their students but not many show up. Their is effort in the school as much as in the staff to bring the parents to be aware.
Ways of Testing Help
Their are many different strategies that teachers use to help the students in testing. There are many AIMS camps provided to the students to help them get prepared for the AIMS. Their are also many teachers who give up their free time to help the kids, whether it is before, during, and even after school; teachers stay and show they care of their kids education. Students are giving a lot of strategies to help them with their daily routines. The most popular strategy known is Cornell Notes. This is used in every period if possible to help the kid record and then use after as notes and reference. I feel this has helped because it has helped the students become more responsible and more prepared for test and exams.
