According to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/schoolbook/2012/02/24/teacher-data-reports-are-released">Teacher Data Report</a>, Carolyn Abbott, who teaches at the gifted and talented <a href="http://www.ps334school.org/">Anderson School</a>, is the worst math teacher in the city. Her accelerated students score in the 98th percentile on the state's math test in the 7th grade, but drop their scores to the 89th percentile in the 8th grade. (More than one-third of Abbott's little slackers <em>do</em> score a perfect 100 on their Regents exam, however - a metric that is not included when Abbott's own score is calculated.) tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.116094 Sat, 19 May 2012 06:57:40 -0800 curriculum NYC standardizedtesting teacherdatareport teaching DarlingBri
