Thank you for verbalizing what I have been saying to myself all day today.
I am so bummed out - worse results I have ever had. I feel I have let down
my students. I reviewed so much trig and algebra 2 skills. I held many
after-school and weekend review sessions. Many of my borderline students
were feeling very confident but left the exam feeling so defeated. I no
longer feel the regents is a valid test. I, too, will contact state ed.
