Literacy is the knowledge of being able to read or write fluently or in a rudimentary way.
It depends in the way a person approaches sponsors of literacy.However, in a negative light it has been past AP teacher because based on my literacy and test taking skills, by me making a three or above on an AP test it makes the teacher look well rather than the student.
Mrs. Smith is a three year teacher at Clinton High School who teaches regulars English two and AP composition to eleventh graders. She has a full load, but she is determined to try and teach her best to both grades she teaches, and both levels she has to teach at. Many obstaclescome in the way. She misses a substantial amount of the year due to pregnancy, and eventually maternity leave. Although, she is my AP teacher and wants to see her student strive, it is hard because she is absent, and all teachers know students do not learn when there is a substitute. Time fast-forwards and we are not only learning AP material, but also basic English material to top it off. The year progresses and Mrs. Smith is near her maternity leave and the AP test is months away. As a student I felt like I learned nothing because I was not being taught anything, nor was I able to follow along with the lackluster of instruction we did have. Mrs. Smith leaves and the AP test is six weeks away. Mrs. Smith tries to cram all the knowledge that goes into one ear and out the other. Time speeds up and AP test are here. Everyone tries their best and is happy no matter the outcome. Mrs. Williams the other AP teacher gets lots of recognition because of her students outstanding scores, While Mrs. Smith gets little recognition for the few students who actually did well. She gains recognition from those students who did well, but the rest of the students were considered less because we did not try hard enough, and we could have made better grades. Nobody looked at Mrs. Smith and blamed her for the non-passing grades because she taught us, but they shone a light on those students who did pass and she was congratulated for those who passed.
