[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had this issue with an English teacher. She clearly had bias against male students who were more jock or macho. We ran all the work through chatghpt and even had my colleague who has an advance degree in English  review my child's work and no one could understand why it was being failed. We switched out of the class after complaining to the principal and it was acknowledged that the teacher was a problem but since they had been here for years nothing could be done to get rid of them or tell them to grade more fairly. We also almost filed a foia to get all the class grades because from talking with other parents this particular teacher was failing a lot of students and there was no way the curve is distributed properly. Furthermore from talking to other fcps teacher there is a lot of pressure if giving an f to a student because the teacher will need to remediate and would be reprimanded for so many fs however this teacher has gotten away with it for years and there is something behind the scenes going on with the teacher and the administration, we suspect because the teacher is of some type of dei marginalized group as observed by pride flags and social media of their same sex partner. Since fcps is quite liberal and now fully teacher unionized we decided to just pursue switching classes and magically the grade went from fs to as because the problem was the teacher. We also didn't want to spend time in litigation and drag our child through all that so at the end of the day it would be better to switch out. There are websites like rate my teacher and word of mouth of which teachers to avoid however the schools don't reveal which teachers will be in which classes when you register the year before so you have to keep a close eye on it.[/quote]

Sorry for all the poor grammar and runs lol I think someone will say see your kid learned poor English skills from you. I am late to a meeting and wanted to get this off my chest and make the point there may be nothing you can do as it's the teacher how it's probably too late to do anything, it would be best to switch earlier in the year. You could pursue making up the class over the summer but it's demotivating as you would need to fail the class and it's not fair to students to have to try hard and get a d where they could just stop going to class get an f and make it up over the summer. I really feel for students in this situation and parents unfortunately have to watch closely early on. I was surprised.[/quote]
