Stonewalling at school

[Anonymous]

The math teacher at our school was teaching at a level much lower than expected for middle school, covering the same topics as the previous grade. I raised the issue with the school management, but they denied everything and took no corrective action. For some reason, they seem unwilling to acknowledge poor performance. Does your school also have this kind of stonewalling approach?

Maybe you are wrong. What do all of the rest of the parents in the class think? You sound very aggressive and difficult.

I cannot think of even one organization on planet earth that responds well to negative feedback.

Well, successful businesses take into account negative feedback to improve performance.

Small private OP or public?

If it is a small private move your kid the school academically isn't good.

There are entire pedagogy methods based on spiral or circular teaching. Starting with things they have learned last year and then building on. This early in the year they could be reexamining last years lessons and building the base to expand further. This also happens within the school year, coming back to ideas in the spring to expand on what they did in the fall. I think you need more info before complaining to admin.

Many parents were complaining. Not only us.

OP, how are your grades overall in math? Maybe the teacher thought that you and some of your classmates need the remedial help?

Yes, that sounds like the response of the school. Luckily my kid is in the 95 percentile of the math scores. Judging by the way you think it might not be the case for you.

Judging by this response we are back to the same OP who starts lots of threads complaining about random things, then sarcastically insults people. Stop responding to this lunatic, people!

Judging by your post, you don’t seem interested in having a civilized discussion but rather in trolling people who think differently from you.

I’ve heard from other parents at elite private schools that teachers or the head of school tend to stonewall when a parent raises a concern about the school.
