[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son did well in math in SSSAS middle school and earned A's all three years. This year at the upper school we have a new math teacher and she does not seem to be good at all.  She is difficult to understand and her teaching methods are questionable.  She assigns homework that is not covered in class and the class as whole is not performing well. After reaching out to the teacher directly, who should I contact at the upper school to discuss the challenges my son is facing? The head of upper school? Math dept chair?  [/quote]

My parents showed this post to me wondering how I would react since I am currently taking the same class with the same teacher. I too never got below an A in middle school math and I couldn't disagree more with you. If you work hard on the homework and go to her for extra help when needed, you can easily get an A in the class. High school is a new environment and the teacher is figuring everything out just like your son. And no, not everyone in the class is failing. You should help your son work through his homework and encourage him to go to the teacher instead of insulting her teaching when she has been teacher for 30 years. Fun fact, did you know that algebra was invented in Arabia.  [/quote]
