[quote=Anonymous]Some brand new teachers may be fabulous. You'll have to wait and see. As a longtime teacher myself, however, I would be on the lookout for these problems, and plan to address them: 1. A lot of "busy work" worksheets that suggest she is having a hard time keeping up with the workload and is trying to fill class time with the easiest possible lesson planning. 2. Alternatively, much too ambitious lesson planning, which you will know if your kid starts bringing home incredibly complicated homework projects. Sometimes new teachers are not quite as aware as they could be of what is age-appropriate because they had a really cool idea. 3. Kid's complaints suggest a chaotic classroom. I would go observe at that point. 4. Lack of organization. Are you getting school notices? Is your kid more confused than you would expect?[/quote]
