[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya know, we've been unimpressed by some of the teachers at my DC's big-3 lower and middle school.  Lots of typos in tests and homework assignments, occasional grammar issues, and a general lack of teaching experience!  Makes me wonder why we're paying so much when teachers are like that, often just recently graduated from university.  One teacher who really has issues is working on a graduate degree in another city so has to take time to go there/back for classes and do homework, etc., AND be a full time teacher at my DC's "big-3" school.  Hard to believe.

So  -- no, being concerned about "aks" doesn't make you racist.  Just let if go though.  [/quote]

I would be very concerned. Why let it go? The K tuition at Sidwell is almost $38,000, that's a full $10,000 more than a competitive K-8 school, for 9 years for a total of $90,000 more than you are paying for the "brand" name. Is it really worth it if the teachers can't even teach? There are some teachers who also cut and paste from one kid to another in their student evaluations forms. I saw that several times and the reason I know is because another kid's name was on the form.  What we are paying for??[/quote]
