[quote=Anonymous]Ha! This thread makes me laugh.  My child has a new teacher this year in our private lower school.  The teacher spent decades teaching in a local public school and just joined my child's private school.  This teacher is hands down the worst teacher we have ever experienced with any of our kids.

I have no confidence in the teacher's ability to teach.  I don't even get it.  You would think the teacher would excel with the ability to teach a class that is half the size of a public school class.  This teacher is terrible at communication, does not know how to teach and engage with kids one-on-one and in small groups, does not know how to motivate kids, cannot control the classroom, and doesn't know how to work with the kids to understand their strengths and weaknesses.  The teacher's approach to discipline is very punishment focused rather than understanding how to nurture and use positive communication to drive behavior.

I hope this teacher is an anomaly but I can't figure out how they stayed employed in a public school for decades.

The teaching certificate is not indicative of teaching quality.
