North Carolina you need a teacher I need a job so let's help each other out Mr Clark I'm sure you're very sincere but I'm afraid you might be a little too too what too wide Too Tall too ugly I specialize in raising standardized test scores this is the honors class these students score in the top 10 percentile of the state exams every year we divide each grade into four classes according to their achievement scores this class this class tested at the bottom of the entire New York City School District they do seem a little bit squirrely a little bit more than squirrely these students have problems with learning disciplines social skills like tayshawn Mitchell two strikes going on three towards the Juvenile Detention Center I'm Your Man I have an opening in grade three if your credentials here you have an opening right here no last year this class went through six different teachers Before Christmas yes nobody wants them and I do so what's the problem test scores are very
