[quote=Anonymous]It’s really luck if the draw. My two kids were at the same public school 2 years apart. Oldest was lucky and got the really good teacher on each grade, no one in his class was totally out of control. Once a kid yelled at a teacher and ran out of the class but overall there were mild behavior problems. He learned a lot and I was impressed with how well he learned math and the writing lessons and projects they did.

My youngest two years later had really bad luck. His kindergarten teacher job shared with another teacher who came in 2 days a week. The teachers had vastly different styles and expectations which confused my kid. Neither teacher seemed like they really wanted to teach. On first grade he was in a completely out of control classroom. Two kids would destroy the class, attack the special  Ed aid, other students, and/or the teacher. At least once a week the class had to be evacuated. It was awful. The next year my son had a series of long term subs and the class was out of control. My son came home with paper airplanes he made and flew on the class everyday but no work. Another mom volunteered in the class and she said one kid crawled under a table and cried everyday, one kid threw things, three kids ran in and out if the classroom, etc. The final straw was when my son got hit in the head with a rock that landed an inch from his eye. I pulled him out for third grade and sent him to our local Catholic schools. He was in shock the first day that kids all behaved and sat and listened to the teacher and did work. Literally Everyday he would come home and comment how strange it seemed that no one misbehaved.[/quote]
