[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hire a tutor, OP. You essentially want the teacher to do the prep work for you to tutor your kid after school. That’s not the teacher’s job. Imagine if parents of all 20 something kids in the class had that expectation. [/quote]

OP here:

I think you've misunderstood my post. I am not asking the teacher to do anything more to show me what she is teaching the kids throughout the year. That could be a monthly or quarterly calendar showing the themes she is teaching each month or 2-weeks or whatever across subjects. That's really it. My daughter's 1st kindergarten teacher sent me exactly that the summer before her school year started and that was it. It was one Excel spreadsheet about two pages long. I was able to coordinate different things I wanted her to learn during the best weeks to reinforce what she was already learning or fill in gaps. But that was a charter school, and since then, the two other teachers she's had (in public school) has been much more evasive.

I would be doing the prep work after that, as I have always done. Its just harder to do when you are teaching something the teacher has already covered 3 months ago, or something the teacher is waaay behind in teaching, etc.

To others, I am not talking about standards (those are already listed online, plus they don't tell you when or if the teacher actually plans to teach around them--teachers have latitude in that regard). Montgomery and Howard counties do great jobs at providing the schedule and topics they are learning about throughout the year, other counties do not have that.
