Plenty of students like her and think she's fine. I think it's mostly your child and a few other kids who are struggling and blaming the teacher.

My child isn’t struggling and ultimately got a high A in her class both marking periods. But this was despite having to teach herself at times with confusing or absent teaching, tests which included content never covered in class, grades calculated incorrectly, giving one grade and recording another in Canvas, refusing to answer questions or offer feedback… I could go on. Very disorganized. Record numbers of complaints, disliked universally by the students. But she’s leaving so she’ll be another school’s problem - good news for rising 9th graders.

Also, you knew exactly which teacher this referred to didn’t you? That speaks volumes.

It's not universal if a lot of students think she's fine. Sounds like this is a you and your DD problem.

Without even getting specifics, I know exactly the teacher they're talking about, and there have been long threads here about her. DC did fine in that class but I can definitely understand why many struggle with their methods or lack thereof...
