[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  It is none of your business why the teacher is out.  The principal approves the leave, s/he knows the situation already.  You are not going to enlighten them to something they don't know about.  As long as there is a sub in the room, there's nothing else that will be done.

As for the short assignments--that's the reality of today's teacher, even one who is present 180 days.  There is no time to grade 150 multi page essays.  150 paragraphs already takes 5 hours if they spend 2 minutes on each providing feedback.

If you want more in depth writing, you have to find a school set up with a better student:teacher ratio.  Maybe that's tutoring.  Maybe it's private school.  Maybe it's homeschool. 
 It stinks, but it's the reality of today's schools.[/quote]

Ok I see some points here but fact is we know other students in same grade with other teachers who are giving assignments and papers. So we drew the short straw. Just ridiculous as school was recognized as a blue ribbon or something school. Dad state of affairs. [/quote]

Life isn’t fair. Your kid isn’t going to be moved into the “good” room(s). Everyone has bad teachers in their lifetime. This is your kid’s.

What exactly do you plan to gain by “writing inquisitively?”[/quote]
