[quote=Anonymous]b/c the subject line itself is loaded

your words: ". . .but I am of course [b]borrowing trouble and worrying [/b]that one or both of our kids will get a brand new teacher . . ."  way to set the tone!

any POSITIVES?  wth?

Already you're leading into a discussion that has most thinking that it's the rare first year teacher who has anything good to offer.  Again, we don't question those in other professions, do we???

Why did you even ask this?  You can't micromanage your child's life.  So if your daughter or son has a new teacher, just let it go.  Why did you feel the need to post this?  What can you possibly gain from "insight" on this thread?  Will you go in and offer to "help" in an effort to improve the teacher's performance?  b/c everyone's an expert in education

Let the teacher teach and allow your child space to grow w/o hovering!

so many controlling parents on this board - I only hope that most posters are in the minority b/c if you represent the majority, education is going to hell in a handbasket.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to retirements and relocations, our children's elementary school hired several new teachers this year. A couple of them are experienced, but others are recent graduates. We won't find out teacher assignments until later this week, but I am of course borrowing trouble and worrying that one or both of our kids will get a brand new teacher. Does anyone have a good experience having a complete newbie as a teacher? [b]Teachers, were you completely clueless your first year?[[/b]/quote]

Let me flip this.

[i]Lawyers, were you completely clueless your first year?

Doctors, were you completely clueless your first year?

Pharmacists, were you completely clueless your first year?

Electricians, were you completely clueless your first year?[/i]

What IS the point of your question?  ANY person NEW to a field will have quite a bit to learn that first year.  I'm tired of this question.

So why did you read it and answer?
The point of the question was to find out what some of the positives might be, despite the inexperience. and several other posters were nice and calm enough to provide those positives. If the question caused you such distress that you needed to do all caps and express your fatigue, you could have just skipped it.[/quote][/quote]
