Re: any nyc teachers doing Advisory.. what do you think of it

We have done advisory for 4 years. The first year it was the entire school. It was one day a week for an hour. The second year it was just Freshmen and was change to "Freshmen Seminar" and it was two days a week as was the 3rd year. The fourth year it is down to a single period on fridays. Personally I think it is stupid and unstructured. (at least in my school) We are supposed to talk about college and "issues" and to help motivate students. The students look at it as a free period and the teachers look at it as another prep for busy work. The students get 1/2 a credit for it each semester and it is a P/F class. BIG WASTE OF TIME!!!
