[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has to be magnet pre-cal at Blair. There were several long threads about it a few months ago complaining about the poor teaching methods of one teacher in particular.

It was a legit complaint from what I understand it as many parents were voicing similar issues on the magnet listserv and they used their real names. The magnet coordinator was contacted. I don't know what became of this though.[/quote]

Although *some* complained, that wasn't a consensus. I remember the thread and others actually were happy with the teacher and their style.[/quote]

There were a surprising number of parents who complained and a few who didn't actually stick up for the teacher but seemed to basically brag that their child was doing fine despite the teacher's poor teaching methods.[/quote]

I didn't go look up the thread but I remember something about using videos which some parents cried bloody murder about while a few others said they were helpful.[/quote]

There were some parents who complained. At the same time there were also parents complaining on the listserv, with their names attached, as another poster already pointed out.

On the other hand, there were some anonymous posts from parents whose kids were doing fine and some anonymous posts from parents whose kids were doing fine but hated the class (and/or knew other students were struggling.) In addition, there were many, many, many posts from those who did not have kids in that class (or even in that program) that were dismissive of (or worse, attacking) the concerns of the OP of that thread. (For what it is worth, that teacher was not the only teacher to do a flipped style, but was the one who students/parents had complaints about. So it was not about the flipped style per se. So, No - it was not just about some videos.)

I think towards the end of that thread, there were some posts that mentioned that the teacher had become more responsive ...

Though DC never had that teacher, DC was not surprised about the complaints. DC's friends had taken some elective with that teacher and had warned DC about that teacher. Yes, it was somewhat of a common knowledge among the students.[/quote]
