[quote=Anonymous]Apparently the math teacher my child has had this year at a DCPS middle school is from an organization called Urban Teachers.  Sounds like something similar to Teach for America but is smaller and newer.  This teacher has by far been the most challenged teacher I have encountered in my more than 10 years experience as a DCPS parent.  The teacher seems really under water - can't teach the math and can't keep control over the class.  It's really been a miserable year for my child who usually loves math class. I feel for the teacher because I'm sure its really hard to be a new teacher and I know there is a need for more teachers so I admire the mission, but I'm starting to question the organization's screening and training processes since things have not improved during the course of the year.  Curious whether this is an isolated incident or whether this is a common problem with this organization which seems to be getting some good press.  Has anyone else had an experience with teachers from this organization, positive or negative?[/quote]
