Pp, you're a jerk, YOU go away.

OP,
I'm in fcps. My son is in third grade. I love his teacher and I think his school is pretty good. He went there in second grade too, and his second grade teacher was awesome too. His first school was in md and I hated that school, so we moved. Dh and I researched to find a home in a neighborhood with a school we liked. I also spoke to the office about what expectations I had for my son and the kind of teacher that I think will be a best fit for him, and this does make a difference. His teacher this year is a very laid back teacher. I was really impressed by her at btsn. I was worried because third grade is when the sols begin. At btsn a parent asked about the sols and she said "don't worry about it, that's my job" she told her they would learn everything they need to know in the classroom. She REALLY made an effort to make the parents feel relaxed about it. She also said she doesn't assign unnecessary homework, but if it doesn't get done in class, it will come home. My son has come home with minimal homework so far, and he comes home happy everyday telling me how nice his teacher is. Fwiw, my son generally hates school and would rather be home playing and hanging out with me or his friends. He also isn't the best at math and reading, but he seems to be doing great with this teacher and the teacher he had last year.

My sons school is rated a 9 on great schools. It's a big school, so there are lots of teachers for each grade. The class sizes are about 25 - 26 in his second and third grade classes. There are 5 or 6 teachers each for second and third grade, so for me, it was worth it to speak to the office about my child's educational needs to get the right teacher. I told them he needed a patient, nurturing type of teacher as opposed to a strict, firm teacher and that's what they assigned my son to. Find a good school, be involved in your childrens education, and don't be afraid to speak up to get what you want. Good luck OP, it's not easy, but you can do it.[/quote]
