A7. Definitely not. Teachers keep learning, growing, changing... students are doing the same. It's a 🌎 of possibilities. #katyisdchat

#KatyISDChat A7 Never-learning & achieving is never at a stand still for any of us. How else would we grow our SS and ourselves? Crucial!

jasonabrown7 May 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6 Exactly - it's why taking an average for grades tells us very little about what a S actually masters. #KatyISDchat
