[quote=Anonymous]My second dc is currently in honors geometry (not at Whitman) and I've not found the pace too fast but in both cases, it seems like the teachers don't do much *teaching*. It may be that the subject is such that kids kind of need to figure it out, but both have had the same complaint. The teacher gives them a packet and expects them to do it on their own. The real problem isn't getting the right "answer" but in not having a clue in how the teachers wants them to explain the answer. I've looked at tests as they came home, and the answers seemed quite logical to me, but apparently not what the teacher wanted. Older one is terrific in math and complained about this constantly. (Had an 'A' all through, so it wasn't an excuse but just an annoyance.) Younger now has same complaints (though different teacher. This one isn't as strong in math and so I'm currently pressure older one to act as tutor, but may break down and hire one.[/quote]
