I’m a 10th year high school teacher, most of my experience is in middle school. This was my 2nd year in HS and I’ve had 4 preps since I started. This year I will finally be teaching what I hoped to teach so hopefully can be more specialized.

Today I got my AP scores back and I am SO bummed. No 5s, a few surprise 2s. Most kids that I thought would pass did, but not by leaps and bounds as I had hoped. We have no pre recs and are not allowed to implement any requirements so I end up with a lot of kids that just want the GPA boost.

I’m feeling good about the content at this point but I can’t feeling like absolute garbage, even though I know test scores are just one metric, and so much responsibility falls on the students and their own work ethic, but still. Big ugh. Just had to vent . Tagged as power of positivity because that’s what I need desperately 😪

I’m traveling through SF in a few days and only have time to go to one. I need to decide which is better. I’m looking to buy about 6 samples for friends based on short descriptions of each person, and then maybe a travel or full size bottle of something I fall in love with for myself.

I’ve read existing posts about each and compared their websites but I still can’t put my finger on what exactly makes them different, other than ZGO might be more expensive?
