On another matter I would like to air for comment.<br>
In teaching my Yr12 class. I have been instructed not put in too much effort in with academically low performing students because I wont get much added value to the their end of year score. This has nothing to do with students behaviour.<br>
<br>
Is this sound advice?</div>
