[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have serious concerns about how the teacher is teaching (or not) my kid's geometry class. There seems to be way too much [b]"read through these slides" [/b]or "[b]watch this video[/b] and do this formative" and then [b]telling them to ask questions if they have them[/b]. And not nearly enough of him actually teaching them new material himself. Our daughter is really struggling in the class and it's upsetting her and also making her hate math, the teacher, and going to school. We're now supplementing with a tutor 1-2 times a week and even she commented that when they were working on a homework assignment together, it seemed like it was the first time our daughter was hearing the instruction/material.

I emailed her counselor last week about my concerns hoping we could talk to her more. I'd be very happy if she could change to a different teacher. But if that isn't an option I would still expect the counselor to tell us that and hear us out and maybe even offer some suggestions.

Am I wrong to even expect a response from the counselor? Is that the point we've gotten to now? [/quote]

Isn't this what parents wanted from the school math teacher? To maintain a fun and lighthearted approach to math like watching a movie, without making it complex by going into details, utilizing visual illustrations instead of dull black & white worksheets, without assigning lengthy homework, and avoiding repetitive math drills? The teacher is simply delivering the way parents wanted.[/quote]
They do, but they also want it to come with an A.[/quote]
