Mr. Bradshaw has been absent for a substantial number of days for a number of legitimate and unavoidable reasons. However, he assumes that his students have the knowledge physics to solve NYS Regents level questions, despite not having taught the necessary concepts to them. His test and quiz dates are not clearly defined, leading to speculation. As a result, a large portion of his students do less than satisfactory on his exams and are ill prepared to handle more complex topic defined by the class curriculum. If you believe that Mr. Bradshaw should lengthen the gap between tests, more actively provide explanations for the supplemental resources he distributes to his students , and review difficult topics in more depth as requested by students, please take a minute of your time to sign this petition!

The feedback from students keeps pouring in. I am compiling these accounts to present to the administration.

The momentum shows how many of us are struggling with the same issues in this class. It is clear that we need a change in how we are being taught.

Bradshaw fails to explain anything in depth and always blames peoples mistakes on them not using G.U.E.S.S correctly. His HW is also not similar to his class work where the HW is much harder and has types of questions we've never learned.
I am very disappointed in the quality of education I am receiving with the teacher being absent for many days and expect in his to learn through handout without even going over them it is very disappointing . At this point of the school year if action is not taken soon we put ourself at risk of failing the regents
Bradshaw assigns the absolute hardest homework possible, while expecting us to meet is impossible standards. His lessons are boring and he rushes through them. Before we can even fully comprehend one topic, he moves onto another. You thought you were going to do well in physics this year. THINK AGAIN.
He is periodically absent (6 times now). He just gave a test last week and showed up for two days after and is giving another test this week on a topic the majority of his classes do not fully understand. He does not use the period wisely as all he does is make us take notes off of the smart board along with 2 examples at most and doesn't go in depth with explanations. This results in students feeling very lost when it comes to doing hw assigned on UTexas which is a lot harder than what he does in class.
Mr. Bradshaw is constantly absent and when he returns from his absences, he fails to make up for the lessons students missed on the days he was out and simply expects them to know and understand everything already.
We needed grade appeals from him last year. -class of 2016

He rushes through the lessons and expect us to do his utexas homework that is much harder than what he taught. He only showed one-two example and they are easier than the homework. He has been absent on and off and give us a test when he isn't present most of the time. The first test everyone did horribly because we did not get the topic at all and we had too little time to prep it. He doesn't know how to explain his lesson efficiently and the class as a whole is unproductive.
