Schooling the Teacher by Brooks Spears

Throughout the year all of us AP English Language and Composition students have learned something. We've all learned how to write better essays  and analyze passages better whether to a large or small extent. Despite our personal views on the teacher or the students, it is hard to deny that we were effectively prepared for the very premise of this AP class: to pass the AP test. During the entire year we've been pacing towards that specific goal, and I feel the teacher has done an exceptional job. However, there are aspects which can be improved. Certainly we were aptly readied for the essays, but not as much for the multiple choice section. I feel we didn't focus enough on why the correct answers were the correct answers; we took the test but we didn't examine the correct answers compared to the incorrect answers, so we could have improved or multiple choice scores greater. This year has been helpful, though, to most of us and a high number of us will pass, so while there are things to be improved, many things are already beneficial.
